I figure no one visits here since I’ve been extremely inactive and everything, but I’ve moved based to a domain.

Where HAVE I Been?!
Posted by Aaron in Update. No Comments.
I’ve been busy.
It’s as simple as that, really. Exams were last week (did good on all of them… except math, but I just can’t do math) and I’ve also been working on a new website. Yes, I’m moving from here… eventually. I was hoping to have something up by now, but alas, not yet. These things take time.
Anyway, until then, I expect this website will not be updated - except maybe with a moved link.
The Little Things
Posted by Aaron in Personal. 1 Comment.
For the past little while, I’ve been thinking a lot about what’s going to be happening in the next few months as my final year in high school ends. I bet you’re thinking, oh no, here we go again with the ever so popular “I’m going to miss…” blah blah blah. I’m not really up for that right now.
In reality, I won’t miss very much about high school. The drama is constant, overbearing, and just plain ridiculous, and I no longer have the capacity to handle it. Our teachers are torn between treating as simple their students, or perhaps going further and being a friend. Everybody is concerned with the most superficial of things, and at the end of the day, nobody cares about anything. Who would miss this?
There are only two things that I am going to miss. My friends, obviously. I will still keep in touch with them as often as possible, but not seeing them everyday will be hard. The hardest thing, for me and many others, however, is we’re no longer allowed to be oblivious to everything out there in the real world. All of the sudden, we have to grow up, and that’s what is expected of us. I can understand that, but it’s expected of us in a pretty damn short time frame!
It seems like just as September rolled around and school began, we all of the sudden had so many life altering choices to make. Universities needed to be scoped out, money matters needed to be settled, and all of this on top of an increasingly demanding workload. Sure, getting into universities is not nearly as hard as everyone makes it out to be (trust me, if you have to start applying soon, don’t get to worked up) but it all feels so fast.
Maybe I’ve just been wasting my time.

“It Just Made Me Tired…”
Posted by Aaron in Personal. 1 Comment.
I feel the quote in this post’s title, taken from one of my favourite songs of this year called “Acid Tongue” by Jenny Lewis, sums up my feelings about 2008 in some ways. Ho hum, here we go with another reflection blog post.
For me, 2008 was definitely a year of two extremes: amazing, and dreadful. Luckily, it had more happy moments than sad ones. In fact, it never really had sad moments, but a lot of the bad things that happened just happened to be awful, whereas there were a handful of fantastic moments and some okay ones on the good side; however, I don’t wish to dawdle on the bad things because, considering the state of the world right now, I think 2008 had a century’s worth of negativity stuffed into it.
Easily the best thing about this year was going to see Goldfrapp in September. Anyone who knows me in the slightest knows just how much I truly adore their music and so going to see them live was truly an amazing experience. This moment in my life will be hard to top, but going to see Feist two months later in November was an equally enthralling experience.
Yes, 2008 was definitely a big year of firsts for me. First time seeing Goldfrapp, first time seeing Feist, and I got my first job in the summer. I’m still at that job, and since my first posts about how much I liked it, I’ve grown to despise it to an extent. 2008 saw me get my driving license, and so it marked the first time I have ever driven a car. And to finish it all off, and on New Year’s Eve nonetheless, 2008 was the first time I ever got really, really drunk. Not that I’m proud of that one…
But even so, as the title of this post suggests, 2008 left me very tired. Maybe it was just the alcohol New Year’s Eve, but even in all of the good times, I was left pretty exhausted from it all. I’m not saying that I had a bad year; I’m saying that I need to get my energy up for an even better 2009!
