Cool songs and videos

And in no particular and for no particular reason, here is a list of really cool songs I've been listening to recently. They range in genre from house, trance, dance, techno, I mean there are probably better more specific ways to call them like deep progressive hard euro trance house but I mean lets keep it general here...

Felix Da Housecat - Silver Screen (Shower Scene)
Mellow Trax - Outta Space
Beam v. Cyrus - Lifestyle
M.I.A. - Galang
Paffendorf - Where Are You
Hotel Costes - You Must Learn All Night Long
Felix Da Housecat - Rocket Ride
Future Minds - Big Fat Bass
Faithless - Mass Destruction

Thats a lot of techno... probably I don't have the right remixes and not given hommage to the original artists... And actually if any has any good songs let me know, and if anyone has seen the videos for these songs and can offer their opinion the meaning that'd be cool.

You gots to be trippin'

Its time to party and chew bubble gum... and I'm all out of gum

So now that I'm done...Its time to travel a little. My first stop is Quebec City to visit my grand parents. I left on a thursday and drove through montreal to get to quebec city. Its actually a lot closer than I thought. Apparently everytime I get into my car it starts raining. Like I when I came back from waterloo, rain, going to quebec city, rain, coming back, rain.

Quebec City is an amazing place. A lot of history and nice places to see, very european. I use to spend a lot of summers there growing up so its kind of weird to see everything from a different perspective, and I don't mean more mature I mean like everything from 2 feet higher... Before getting to Quebec my grand-father sent me a hand-written letter outlining some proposed plans for what I can do during the stay. He really likes history so it was mostly visiting every musuem and historic site within 150km of quebec, jam packed days of tours, maps, the camera, walking, guide books and all that stuff... My grand mothers cooking is amazing and I really missed that too, especially after the last two years of eating at every place in all the cities I've been working or studying at...

While I was in quebec I was read this book by Michael Crichton and this other one by John Grisham. I really like their writting style, really easy read, can plow through a book in a day or so. So I'm reading these books and when I'm done I kind of realize something about myself. Like when I do something for a while I really get into and incorporate that into my everyday life. Like if I played minesweeper all day in the library instead of studying, and if I see tiles on the ground they look like minesweeper blocks I wanna press. Or if I'm coding all day for a few days every is a function or parameter to me, the coffee, the printer, pencils everything. And with the reading I found myself saying things to myself like, "as I walked down the busy streets of Quebec I asked myself, why am I narrating my own life??"... Does anyone else do this???

Yeah this post started off as a weak summary of my trip to quebec and end off by this weak sentence trying to explain my digression and using big words...

Fini

Almost 5 years, 8 semesters of school, 6 work terms, over 40 courses, 30 professors, tons of great people, every restaurant in waterloo, clubs, places, things, and a lot of other nouns later and I'm done school...at least I think I'm done?? Hmmm I should check the requirements...
