About five years ago to this day, I survived my first year in college. I’ve attended Durham College in their Computer Systems Technician programme (in which I later upgraded to Computer Systems Technologist).

2007 was a very good time for me. I was very happy man, trying to fulfill my dreams.

The song featured in this posting, “I will give you everything” by the Skydiggers - reminded about my mum and dad - getting all the support I need in my studies. Since my graduation back in June 2010, I felt very depressed and still need on securing employment (in which I’m still finding one and it’s currently ongoing).

“Williamsburg” by Armor for Sleep. Part of a complete emo’s “breakfast”.

Do you think I have enough obsession with Armor For Sleep, folks?

One of my favourite songs by a British band called the “Fine Young Cannibals”.

Roland Gift has a very great voice. I wish I should have an “inner” him (pun intended).

By the way, if you people have exams coming up (if you are in college or university), good luck!

Apart from some of the favourite times by an American band called “Armor For Sleep”, we head back to Canada and there’s one particular artist that I really like a lot - LIGHTS. Although her real name is “Valerie Poxleitner”, she performs as “LIGHTS”.

“Second Go” is one of my favourite tunes and this video is cool and features LIGHTS playing around with paints (in fact, one of her shoes that was messed with paint was featured at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto, Ontario, Canada - as part of the “Juno Sole” exhibit - to coincide with the 2011 Juno Awards in Toronto. The exhibit is no longer there).

When this particular music video was released, I was recovering from a stressful life in college (until my eventual graduation one month later in June 2010). I really wish that I want to go back in time, to see if no one ever bothers me.

This song made me feel more depressing now than when I first stumbled upon listening to Armor For Sleep - back when I entered my first year of college (way back in 2006).

*sighs*

If I had a time machine with me, then I would travel back in time when I entered my first year of college.

“The Truth About Heaven” - Armor For Sleep

This has got to be one of my favourite songs by the band “Armor For Sleep”. The song, “The Truth About Heaven” reminds me about the time that I listened to their music during my first year in college.

While the band no longer exists today (except that there are planning a one-time reunion down at the Bamboozle festival this year), this song has really helped me motivate my entire life from the day I finish high school to the point where I had graduated from college.

Time does fly, eh?

I really love this song. When I listened to this song, it takes me back in time - when I was still in high school. When this video was released sometime in 2003 or 2004, the price of gas in Toronto, Ontario, Canada was about $0.64 or $0.65 Canadian cents a litre.

“It’s about time” by Lillix was one of my favourite tunes. In fact, I still have the song (and the video that accompanies it as well) on my iPod.

Nonetheless, enjoy this song. Repost this if you can.

This is what I had imagined during my trip to Toronto earlier today. I had a dream that I met three young persons while on the GO train. The first person rode a skateboard, the second one a BMX bike and the third person - a pair of aggressive rollerblades.

Person #1 bear the following characteristics: he wears a trucker-style hat with a black zip-up hoodie. He also has a greyish-white t-shirt inside of his hoodie. That shirt is a bit skin-tight not too tight (somewhere in a medium to large). He also wears black jeans. What makes me kinda interesting is that he wore some skate shoes - particularly some Vans Dr. T skate shoes - in yellow, but the low-top version. He also has brown eyes and black hair. He’s a bit emo, but that doesn’t matter. He carries a skateboard.

Person #2 is similar to person #1, but he wore an extra large green t-shirt, and a red New-era hat. He also wore a pair of red Etnies skate shoes. As for jeans, he usually wore a pair of straight-fit jeans. He has brown hair with blue eyes. As for his BMX bike, he sports a custom CULT BMX complete bike.

Person #3 is into aggressive rollerblading. He usually sports a pair of USD (Universal Skate Design) Classic Thorne rollerblades - in black. As for his physically characteristics: his eyes were green, but his hair is a bit blond(e). He also wore some jeans, a burgundy zip-up hoodie and sports a New Era hat.

Person #1 asks me, “Hey, bro - you okay?” I replied to him, “Uh, yeah. I’m good. By the way, nice shoes.” His response, “Thanks, man. I also like your shoes too.” He noticed the black Skate4Cancer & C1RCA collaboration skate shoes that I wore on me.

We then exchanged words with each other and so on. We get to know more of ourselves (what particular interests we have in common, etc. )and we also exchange mobile (cell) phone numbers, skype handles (usernames), twitter usernames, facebook addresses - you name it.

Person #2 told me that he’s more into the latest technology trends (i.e. computers, mobile (cell) phones), while Person #1 likes to do it “old skool” - meaning he doesn’t believe in the digital age (i.e. smartphones, portable audio devices), but he carries a cell phone - just to keep in touch with his friends and most importantly - his parents.

Person #3 on the other hand, he’s kept this “odd” thing a secret to me - he’s bisexual. That doesn’t matter to me, because I really need friends.

I really miss my high school days - a lot. I’m starting to feel emotional as I speak….
