Last night was the Music Industry Arts (my program's) banquet! It was a lot of fun. Everyone got all dressed up and got together for an awards show in the early evening where many awards and scholorships were handed out. There was food and a bar and desserts. It was a very nice evening.
After the awards, Becky and I went back to my house to hang out for a bit and have a few drinks before heading over to the afterparty where my whole program got together and partied for the last time this year. It was so much fun. I wish everyone a great summer and for those who aren't coming back next year, good luck with wherever it is that you end up!
So we've been having guest lectures at school all week. Yesterday we had someone come in who I feel is worth mentioning. He is an artist named Rob Szabo. He is originally from Kitchener, but is now based out of Toronto. He came in to talk about his career as an artist/producer.
At the end of the lecture, he played two songs for us. The first song he played was called, "That Cold Hard Sell" and it can be found on his myspace at http://www.myspace.com/robszabo.
The second song that he played for us literally almost brought me to tears as I was sitting there in the lecture hall. It is a beautifully sad song called, "Incandescent". The song can be purchased at http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/robszabo2/from/viglink or you can view live performances of the song on youtube such as the following:
It's such a beautiful song. I dunno, I just love it. At the end of the song, he had us sing along with the chorus.. it was wonderful.
But yeah, I just felt like it was worth mentioning him. Check out his myspace at the link posted above or go see him if he's playing a show near you. He just seems like an all-around cool guy.
So next week is finally the last week of school. As fast as it went, these last couple weeks have seemed extremely long. I just want summer.
I am happy to report that both of my lift projects and all other assignments are now done. Although, I am starting to wish that I handed in my Heart lift for my recording class and my Jack's Mannequin lift for my digital production class (I did it the other way around). I feel like I did a better job on my Heart one. But oh well. It is such a relief to have those done with. As fun as they were, it was also a TON of work. All I have left this week is my digital production practical exam. Next week I start with the written exams. I have a total of seven running from Monday to Friday. BRUTAL.
Summer couldn't come fast enough. I just want to feel relaxed again for a little while and be able to focus on other things for a while. Someone put me in a time machine and let's fast forward a while please.
It kills me not to know this, but I've all but just forgotten, what the colour of her eyes were, her scars or how she got them. As the telling signs of age rain down, a single tear is dropping. Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten.
There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place, and there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds. But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you, like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear.
So tell me now. If this ain't love, then how do we get out? 'Cause I don't know. I just want to save you while there's still something left to save. That's when I told her I love you girl, but I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have. For no man does it ever wait. Like memories of dying days, that deafen us like hurricanes. Bathed in flames we held the brand, uncurled the fingers in your hand. pressed into the flesh like sand. Now do you understand? If this ain't love then how do we get out? 'Cause I don't know. I just want to save you while there's still something left to save. That's when I told her I love you girl, but I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have. There's nothing left to say. But so much left that I don't know. We never had a choice. This world is too much noise. It takes me under. It takes me under, once again.
Falling a thousand feet per second. You still take me by surprise. I just know we can't be over. I can see it in your eyes. Making every kind of silence, takes a lot to realise, it's worse to finish than to start all over and never let it lie. And as long as I can feel you holding on, I won't fall, even if you said I was wrong.
I'm not perfect, but I keep trying. 'Cause that's what I said I would do from the start. I'm not alive if I'm lonely. So please don't leave. Was it something I said or just my personality?

I'm not alive if I'm lonely. So please don't leave. Was it something I said or just my personality? When you're caught in a lie and you've got nothing to hide, When you've got no where to run and you've got nothing inside. It tears right through me, you thought that you knew me. You thought that you knew.
I'm not perfect but I keep trying. 'Cause that's what I said I would do from the start. I'm not alive if I'm lonely, so please don't leave. Was it something I said or just my personality?

I wanted you to know that I love the way you laugh. I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away. I keep your photograph, and I know it serves me well. I wanna hold you high and steal your pain.
'Cause I'm broken, when I'm lonesome. And I don't feel right when you're gone away.
You've gone away. You don't feel me here anymore.
The worst is over now. And we can breathe again. I wanna hold you high and steal my pain away.
There's so much left to learn, and no one left to fight. I wanna hold you high and steal your pain.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open, and I don't feel like I am strong enough. 'Cause I am broken when I'm lonesome, and I don't feel right when you're gone away.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm open, and I don't feel like I am strong enough. 'Cause I am broken when I'm lonesome, and I don't feel right when you're gone away.

So I went to see "Clash of the Titans". It is not a movie that would ever normally be my first choice to go see, but my plans got messed up so I ended up in "Clash of the Titans" with Steph, Luke, Dan, Daryl, Brent and Leah. I went in thinking I was going to hate the movie. I was actually impressed. I am normally not a fan of 3D movies. They sometimes make me feel sick or give me a headache, but this one did not. Some people said that the 3D in the movie sucked, but maybe that was why I liked it so much. It wasn't overpowering like it is in some other movies. I actually found myself enjoying the storyline, which was surprising to even me. Don't get me wrong, it's still a "boy" movie. But if you're in for a real adventure/action movie, then I would suggest going to see "Clash of the Titans". It was pretty good!
Happy Easter everybody! I hope everyone had a fantastic Easter.
My weekend was spent job hunting. I handed out tons of resumes. I am in serious need of a job for the summer! So, please hire mee!
On Friday, Ally, Allan and I took a nice walk down the beach at Hutches. I love that place.
Saturday night Allan and I got dressed up and headed over to Ashley's for her birthdayyy. We had a little pre-party at her place and then went down to Rokbar in Hess to dance the night away. It was a good night. Hope you had a good time Ashley!
Sunday was Easter of course. We got up in the morning and went to church. This was Allan's first church experience, ever. haha. I'm not sure if he loved it, but he survived. We then had our annual family turkey dinner at my house. It was so yummyy.
I am now, of course, back in London. Only a few more weeks 'til summer! I can feel it coming!
