Perhaps it is the American mentality of "oh they're our maple syrup drinking neighbors with hockey" that's within me, but Canadians are really nice. Everytime I bumped into some dude, they'd always apologize, chat a little bit with me, and offer me some Canadian Bacon. Okay, maybe that last part was a slight lie, but I'm really liking Toronto.
Nothing new has happened. Trying to adjust with Celsius, Canadian Dollars, and "Oh you're from America?"
No links, sorry. :( Haven't been on the internet very lately...
Please stay safe, and have a good day.

Everyday I'm hustlin'
| Pictured: A hustler |
Well, scholar is trying to get a job. It'll be small time, pushing carts, then maybe retail...then maybe some corporal executive stuff....then the world.
Job apps are less stressful than college apps, and I kinda like them. Why, yes, I do consent to taking a drug test. Why, no, I have not committed any felonies in the past 10 years. And etc...
College apps want to know how I "discovered" myself. Or how I "overcame" fear. Those are seriously cauge questions, for sure. I discovered peanut butter, and overcame the fear of just Jelly Sandwiches....
Now, some places want you to know how you would handle a pissed off customer. Now that's good stuff. Your boss doesn't want to know about your fears, s/he wants that douchebag screaming about a new modem dead. And you happen to be right there! Now go and earn your 9 dollars an hour, peasant!
A little nerve wracking typing my social security number each time, though...
I've applied to 5 different companies, and only 2 colleges >_>
Yet to hear from any.
And you? Any interview tips you might have? College tips? Just general tips?
Have a good day!

lol vacation
Right now, I'm packing some stuff to go to Ottawa, Canada. Never been there, but its some random place my family wanted to take me with, oddly enough. I'll be there from the 11th, to the 30th.
(Now that I said how long I will be gone, I wonder if any of my followers are gonna jack my house....)
A Canadian Christmas, then an American New Year! Then back to the harsh realities of school, and entering a new decade...
Anyways, I leave in an hour and half, so I don't have much to say.
Sorry that this blog post is short....I needed to say something, so I said. Now, I'm just starting on packing things up. You guys go enjoy yourselves. I don't think I can make any posts for a few days. Have a good one, everyone.

Sorry for not making a post in a while
I just haven't had much to talk about....
It's been a slow week.
Let's see.... *looks in Reading List*
Well, someone I'm following made a post about Daft Punk. I could probably find something in my bookmarks....
Ah, there we go:

YEAAAAHHHH, NOW YOU TOO CAN MAKE MAD BEATS YO
Eh...it's been kinda slow. School is seriously picking up its pace, with Xmas break coming soon. Ah well.
Have a good day, and enjoy your Hanukkah, if you celebrate it.

Whalers vs. Godzilla
Source:
http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/blog/22423/japanese+whalers+to+face+new+enemy+in+godzilla/
Catchy post title, no?
Now, I'm perfectly fine with Japanese whalers hunting down whales, in moderation. I mean, it IS a part of Japanese culture, I assume. It's like hunting down moose, or wolf. If it's done in moderation, and you are using the hunted game for its meat/skin, then yeah, that's fine. But, something is clearly wrong if you shoot a bear, highfive your buddy, and move on to the next bear. That's just a douche-tacular thing to do.
I'm also fine with protesters, but this is kinda ridiculous. The boat looks freaking cool, as if Batman just decided to lend the protesters a boat, but still... at what point does an animals life overtake a humans? Yeah, these whales are rare, and should probably be protected, but why do you want to crash your Batman-Godzilla ship into some dinky little whaler ship? You could be out there fighting The Joker, or something....
I complained enough....what do you guys think?
And let's end on a happy note:
Here's a link to a fellow blogger's paper flower tutorial (it looks simple, and awesome):

I was wondering where my audiences hail from...
Yesterday was thanksgiving for us Americans, and as we feasted, Canadians were all "lol you guys are late," while people in Iceland were all "Let's go make some kinda constitution!"
Yes, I was imagining countries in a little cafeteria, talking about each other, in my mind.
With that said, I was curious as to where my readers are from in this world, so I took a look in the stats...
Most of my audience comes from the United States. Sweden, you better pick up your pace, or Germany's gonna get more views. Slovenia, you may be a small country, but you are not forgotten. And thanks, India, for being the only country on Asia.
Also, Sweden, you should probably get your cousins, Finland, and Norway up in here....just sayin'.
Firefox is used by more than half of you....I'm so proud of you guys! I mean, I have nothing towards Safari users....but IE users....c'mon....
These world stats are quite cool for me, and also kinda useful. If I make a joke concerning Macs, it'll be popular for 92% of you guys. I should also try to celebrate Canada Day, make a Dutch post, etc. A little something for everyone.
Have a good day, ayez une bonne journée, ha en bra dag, guten tag, ....
:D

Or at least my American visitors.
We'll all be busy eating, watching football, and sleeping!!
I'm quite thankful.
I'll make a better post, I promise.
Have a good day!
