The Weekly Wrap-Up!

on

So I actually had a lot I could have talked about, my father is snoring in the TV room upstairs, though this is my parents house. I can’t just go and say wake the fuck you’re severely impacting my ability to write!

He can just say, well this is my house. Move out. He wouldn’t be wrong though, I can just leave. I hate it here anyway, but all my stuff is here. I’ve screwed myself over! I can’t say that it’s always bad, like I’ve been diligently feeding the birds for years, and this year I gave the task to my father. I don’t know if he is as consistent as I am, but the area we liv in is seeing a lot more birds and they are here to wake me up most mornings (when I would feed them they were here every morning).

I have still never seen this bird yet.

This is a bit of a long post, and there aren’t any fancy pictures. I expect there not to be much engagement, but I am betting that on a Sunday people would be more interested to read about me and my life!

I still haven’t decided on a legitimate title, I like “this week’s wrap-up” a lot; however, I think that is because it fits my shitty scheduling. One thing that I should focus on, is not writing curse words so much, but I also think that I should keep on cursing because I am a writer now, a self-proclaim writer, and it’s important for my fans that I stay authentic, right?

All 32 of you.

Anyway, I am writing this at 10:58 pm after a long day, or week rather. (I have finished writing at 12:42 AM, Sunday morning)

So here’s the rundown, this was the first week of a new semester, I have enrolled in several courses that are not needed for my program; in fact, I only need two courses for my program. There is a catch though, to me, I only need two courses, Organic Chemistry 2 and one more final upper year course. However, technically need 4 courses in total, Physics I and II, Calculus for Physical Sciences and those previously mentioned 2. I have way more than enough credits, but I failed 3 courses so far. I probably need to speak to someone.

This semester I am taking Ecology and Evolutionary Laboratory, Analytical Chemistry, Soil Science and Introduction to Developmental Psychology. The first two courses have labs every week. Soil Science has two labs in total, and the psychology has no labs (I only got to do an experiment on people after my 4 years at university). This means that I will have 4 hours of labs “in the field”, and 4 hours in a lab, each week. I am looking to tie my three sciences courses together, So I would be analyzing soil for microbes, like bacteria. I doubt the labs are set up for that, we are going to be analyzing solutions for chemical contamination, like Magnesium or some crap.

But honestly, I still think that my heart will always belong to molecular parasites. The only course that I received an A in, was Vertebrate Histology. I really wish there were more courses that I could take about histology, but honestly it just seems like you’re just staining different tissues day in, and day out. Maybe you’d get to play with an electron microscope, and that would be neat for like 5 minutes. I think histology was more of a stepping stone, like yeah, it’s nice to know, but that’s not even scratching the surface of the knowledge you should have.

It’s like you make good presentations, but that’s it. Fucking Greg over there can make presentations, can lead and train new hires, do coffee runs, get your shoes shined, go for drinks with you after work and can cheat the government. Who would you hire to work for you? The hot chick who wears thongs and isn’t afraid to show her cleavage, I know right?

That’s how you stick it to the man, just hire a whole bunch of women and follow their lead, that will topple the patriarchy for sure! Gillette did it, I remember that toxic masculinity Super Bowl Ad, I’m sure you do too. After that campaign, Gillette reported an $8 billion dollar markdown, and yes you can say that this isn’t directly related to the “we Believe” July 2019 ad, asking millions of males if this is “The Best We Can Get?”. But seriously now, I don’t buy Gillette anymore.

I was watching Funny AF, a comedy series on Netflix, with host Kevin Heart, and my celebrity wife Nikki Glaser. I think I have a soft spot for the psychologically damaged, I think it was because of

She is so funny, even though she plays it off like she is so damaged.

growing up with a mentally ill mother, but isn’t that everyone’s excuse? Like it’s my parents, I iddn’t have a childhood, my mom beat me! I think it was Freud who said that all of our fathers are alcoholics and our mothers are drug addicts? Let’s see what Gemini says about this..

Well, Freud did not say that. Turns out that it is not academically accurate to say that any influential great mind said this, this is attributed to more of a pop/dark psychology internet thing. It’s supposed to be edgy, providing some comedic “shock value”.

Anyway, if you haven’t seen Kevin Hart’s Funny AF on Netflix, it’s a really good watch. These comedians were really good, and we get input from other famous comedians as well, like Tom Segura, Keegan-Micheal Kay, Kumali Nanjiani, Chris Rock! Chelsea Handler was on there as well, and I never knew how accomplished she is. It’s crazy to me that these celebrities age so well, but then it makes sense, they are rarely in the sun it seems. I mean, you’re preforming in night clubs all the time, when you’re not, you’re working on perfecting your craft. But I don’t know, maybe they have outstanding skin care routines and are collagen enthusiasts. Also most of them are black, so naturally they have more melanin which absorbs the UV rays, both aging and burning.

By the way, I don’t actually talk very much in person, so this is how I compensate I guess.

Before I go on any further about university related topics, know that the university learning management system has went down, and now I am stuck with no slides, no other course materials, and no access to the recorded lectures. So if I want to succeed I have to go to class, which sucks, I am supposed to choose a “green space” for my ecology lab course, and I had this nice space picked out near my high school where I used to go and smoke with my friends in, and I was looking forward to just staying home, working in that space, and my moms garden and going to the gym. But then some idiot with a computer decided that he wanted to screw over thousands of students, most importantly me though.

I just love paying tuition!

This is getting long, obviously waiting until the week is up may not be the greatest idea, or I just need to talk more to people in real life. I was thinking again, what I wondered is if I don’t talk to people because I am afraid that I’ll have nothing to write about. Or that I don’t talk to people because I’ll start wanting to talk about them and all the weird interactions that we have.

But honestly, there is so much I want to tell you, like how ego psychology was so 1950’s. That development continues throughout life (so your immature father has hope still), I saw Mortal Kombat 2 at the theatres in that new “Screen X”, and it was not worth the money. But when Top Gun Maverick get’s re-released in theaters, along with the First Top Gun, if it’s in Screen X, you can bet I am going to see that. This week was crazy trying to set everything up. But next week I hope that I can spend some time outdoors, and at TIFF Bell Lightbox, and at the gym.

Guys, I am turning 40 this year. Developmental psychologists say that young adulthood is approximately the range of 20-40 years old, but it’s not just age that contributes to our development, it is our body physiology, our cognitive processes and psychosocial aptitudes. Development consists of maturation and learning, and these both are affected by our experiences. So really, I am probably like fucking ancient, 80 years old I tell you. Haven’t you seen a huge rise in the people that are saying that they are autistic?

What the fuck, doesn’t that make you upset that these people who are able to hold jobs and speak are stepping on the necks of those who are more deserving of our empathy? Like the non-verbal, or severely socially awkward that they depend on their parents for their everything? There are so many people on YouTube that I just want to stab, complaining about how autism affects you yet you have a 9-5, and a wife, who somehow is also autistic and also holds a job.

But Autism is on a spectrum bruv. I don’t know, I am going to post this and we will see how this goes, and then I may delete. SPEAKING ABOUT DELETING YOUR MEDIA….
