Man, do I ever miss the Canada Day celebrations.

It’s not really the celebration “per se,” that I miss,
(Wow, I finally used the phrase “per se”)
but all my friends who, on this day
are already sloshed drunk, even before noon.

As for my experience during this event,
there must be a million things happening around you
that you just can not keep up.

Celebrating Canada Day, I think
is the reason why
I have developed ADD.

Oh look! Something shiny!

—
Happy Birthday also
to Kuya Rhey, and Kenneth.

Maybe we should just call this, “Five Questions.”

Because “Friday Five,” being answered on time,
is damn near impossible.

So, here we go.

1.) What word irks you everytime you hear someone say it?
—There are a couple of words/phrases actually.

First, I concur with Abbie and Nikki.
“Whatever” is a very annoying word.
(Especially in the tone of those teenage girls ““ “Whatevvuuurrrrr!”)

Second. It also bothers me when someone says “Duuhhhh”
to someone who has made an obvious mistake.
Makes them look like pompous assess who think they are better than everyone.
(Especially when they say it with that “I’m a pompous ass” expression on their face.)

Also, “You know what I’m sayin?”
(No, I don’t know what you’re saying.
Maybe if you stop doing that gangsta gesture with your hand, I would. It’s distracting.)

And “That’s what I’m talkin’ about!”
(You know what, You weren’t really telling me anything,
nor did I hear you mutter any words.
And quit that gansgta hand gesture. It’s annoying.)

2.) What is your favorite word?
—Boobies. ROCK!

3.) What does it mean?
—As in, I like boobies ROCK Music!

4.) What word do you say far too often?
—“Yes.” As in, “Yes, I would like some fries with that.”

5.) Name three words you think other people overuse:
— “Like”
“Whatever”
“You know”

Come to think of it,
people use all three in a sentence. “It’s like, whatever, you know?”

Ya kno’ what I’m sayin’ Bro?

Another snake has been spotted around the house yesterday.

Right by our front lawn,
preying on the lizards.

I truly believe that this land is cursed.
I started thinking that, eversince those Jehovah’s Witness people
knocked on our door and ran away screaming.
Maybe because I didn’t have any pants,
but that’s beside the point.

This is the third snake we have seen since we moved here.
And quite frankly,
it’s getting to be very annoying.

It was fun the first time,
since it had that bragging rights that I have encountered a snake.

The second time was scary because,
I just saw the snake skin inside our garage,
realizing that it could enter the premises without my knowledge.

Now, it’s just downright embarrassing.

Even though I am scared of snakes,
it’s pretty embarrassing when people tell you,
that there are snakes around your house.

Either that, or because moments earlier,
I accidentally peed in my pants.

Congratulations to the Carolina Hurricanes.
NHL 2006 Champions.

Of course I was rooting for the Edmonton Oilers.

Though I must give it to the “˜Canes.
They played their hearts on the ice tonight.

I just have a question though.

Is it me or were there at least a hundred guys
playing for Carolina on the ice at the same time?

Because quite frankly, I only see 5 from Edmonton,
and the “˜Canes seem to be everyfreakinwhere.

Everytime the puck hits the ice,
there’s a guy from Carolina in front of it.

It’s freakin’ amazing!

Oh well,
Now that Hockey is over,
time to concentrate on the NBA.

Then the World Cup!

God, I love this time of year!

Here are the answers for last week’s,
this week’s,
next week’s,
Crap! I don’t know anymore….
just pick a Friday and pretend that that was it.

So, here we go.

1.) Who was your favorite all time teacher(s)?
—For the life of me I couldn’t remember his name, but he was an older gentleman from England.
I know this is true because he spoke English.
And you know how these English people are, with their spiffy accents,
that even if they are lying to you, they can still be very convincing.

They could tell you that the the Earth is flat, and you would believe them.
Just like when my teacher told me I was stupid,
by golly, he really made me think so.
Funny old chap, that guy is.

2.) What did they teach?
—Statics and Conceptual Physics.
Where he would give us this physics problem based on concept,
where if there would be a car, accelerating from a static point,
with a force speed of 45 Miles per Hour.
And a piece of string, 5 inches in length,
would be hanging from the rear view mirror,
and a metal nut screw, with a weight of 4.25 grams tied to it,
and was displaced from it’s resting point by 30 degrees,
You have to figure out the probability
if the driver of the vehicle can pick you up some food along the way.
Hey! I always get hungry around 2 AM.

3.) What is your best memory from that class?
—Being waken up, because I was snoring.
And the realization that people were laughing at me
not because I was snoring,
but because when I jolted up,
there was a mark of the spiral wire from my notebook, across my face.
Hey, at least I didn’t drool. (I think I hope.)

4.) Did you ever have a crush on a teacher and if so who?
—Oh Man! I so remember her so vividly,
since, this English Teacher of mine, might as well be teaching French.
Because she is “Oui, oui, Tu Est Jolie.”
And for confidentiality reasons, I can’t disclose her name,
since Ms. Gina values her privacy.

5.) What is the craziest/wildest/weirdest thing you (or someone you know) ever did at school?
—In college, we had quite a gap between our classes.
So by the time we attend our night classes, all of us friends, would be sloshed,
shit-faced drunk. And then we would..
wait…
all of us would be…
No wait…
We would…

Okay, I can’t really remember most of it.
I guess since it happened so many times,
there aren’t much brain cells left.

*Sighs*
Well, at least our livers are still fine. (I think I hope.)

I just watched one of the most simple,
most raw,
most rockin’ guitar DVD ever!

Space Ship One
by Paul Gilbert.

Paul has been one of my favourite
guitar players of all time.

His blazing fast licks and gutbucket riffs
always make me want to smash my head into a wall.

But I won’t do that because I suck at fixing drywall
and I have no time to repaint.

So I’ll just try to play more songs,
And play a lot of ROCK!

I don’t care if people listen to it or not.

I just do it for you, Damien.
It’s all for you!

666

Tomorrow would be the anticipated date of this year.
June 6, 2006
06-06-06

“Let anyone with understanding calculate the number of the beast,
for it is the number of a person.
Its number is six hundred sixty-six.”
(Revelation 13:16-18, New Revised Standard Version)

This is it folks.

Tomorrow will be the end!
Tomorrow, all we have feared will come!
Tomorrow, we see the number of the beast!
Tomorrow, we experience the mark of Satan!
Tomorrow, evil shall be set free!
Tomorrow, evil shall befall the earth!
Tomorrow, the prophecy will be fulfilled!
Tomorrow, widespread panic and terror shall rule the land!
Tomorrow would be the end of the worl”¦”¦.

Wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute”¦..

It’s already tomorrow in Australia.

Sheesshhhh!!!

Nevermind.

At last!!
On time!!

Here we go!

1.) Favourite movie of the 1980s?

—It’s hard to pick your favourite “movie” from “movies” you’ve seen and liked.
And if I put the classic 80’s flicks like “Back to the Future” series, “Indiana Jones” series or E.T.,
it’s already a given that these are into everyone’s likings.

So I selected a few of my personal, weird and obscure favourites.

1. Crossroads ““ With Ralph Macchio and Steve Vai in it. (Not the Britney one)
I chose this, because, come on. Who doesn’t want to have a guitar duel with the devil?

2. Hard to Hold ““ with Rick Springfield. Because, come on. Who doesn’t want to become a rock star with beautiful girls falling for you?

3. Clash of the Titans ““ Because, come on. Who doesn’t want to be a greek god?

4. The Dark Crystal ““ Because, come on. Who doesn’t have a fetish with puppets?

5. Debbie Does Dallas ““ Okay maybe it’s 1978. But I have seen it in the 80’s. And come on, Who doesn’t know Debbie?

2.) Favourite musician/group of the 1980s?

— This would be very difficult for me, for if I list them all,
I would have to cancel all my appointments and my child will not be eating lunch.
So I decided to put down all the band posters I had in my room, when I was growing up.

Depeche Mode
Duran Duran
Tears For Fears
Spandau Ballet
Sade
Michael Jackson
Eurythmics
Van Halen
Bon Jovi
Brooke Shields
Poison
Debbie
Hustler

–Oops! You didn’t see that.

3.) Favourite TV show of the 1980s?

—My God! Each and every Saturday morning cartoon!
Yes Kids!
In our day, we only watch cartoons on a Saturday!
One day a week!
Not like you with your 24 hour cartoon channel network.
You spoiled little shits!

4.) Favourite invention of the 1980s?

—2 things, I believe were the best invention in the 80’s.
The Atari 2600 and those Pop Rocks candies,
that pops in your mouth when you eat them.
YES! I love those.

5.) World Event from the 1980s that stands out in your mind?

—I have to say it’s the “People Power” Revolution in the Philippines.
Because right in the midst of all the fear and confusion,
all the way to the people’s victory,
I was in the hospital being treated for Dengue.

Yes. My body is weaker than most children.
That’s what you get when you aren’t breast fed.
And you sniff a lot of glue.

My god!
As you can see,
I am the best guy to answer all these Friday Five questions!
I should be given a medal.
And a straightjacket.

Congratulations!

To my fellow Bosconian brothers,
for a successful simultaneous web cast reunion,
both from California and Manila.

It was great to see you guys,
kahit sa webcam man lang.

Nakakainggit talaga!

Hopefully, I get to be in Colorado for part 2.

Mabuhay kayo, mga kapatid!

Pro Deo, Et Patria

We didn’t like the current questions,
so here at denofmusic.com,
we thought, (Okay it’s just me.)
we’ll do a previous one.
Because we are rebels and we do not like conformities.

So here we go.
