So, Indiana Jones you are back for another adventure.... and what do you have in store for us this time? We've seen you fight those Raiding Nazi's for the Lost Ark of the Covenant and it's unknowable majesty and power, we've seen you travel to Temples of doom, and even drink from the Holy Grail, wielding the power of immortality. What Henry Jones Jr. will you face in your new great adventure?
-- If you have not seen the movie, then for your sake I have written the following in black, just so you may be spared the spoilers.
So reader has been warned
ALIENS???? ARE YOU JOKING???
I mean... I understand, I'm a critique on movies, and lately it's been a rare occurrence for me to give a blockbuster a chance, (or any movie for that matter) But really.... Aliens????? At least it wasn't the ending itself... the "Alien" secret was pretty obvious right from the get-go despite a few of the characters saying at the end "Wait... space men!?". None the less.... not 10 minutes into the movie... the key factor is introduced.
The beginning seemed promising, the groundhog hill bit was a funny little homage to the old Indy flicks, and the soviets immediately storming the scene was true to the Indiana Jones movies we know and love. Then we saw "The Warehouse".
'YES! an homage to Raiders, thats awesome, I wonder if we'll see the Ark.. i hope so, that would be cool, wait maybe not, maybe it would be corny... Jon, Pay attention to the movie...'
Then I see it...
'Whats that? A giant 51 on the door? hmm... Area-51 I guess... thats appropriate, take away from that absurd alien reputation for Area-51 and give it a good solid "Government secret storage" thing.
Appropriate, good call...anyways, I wonder what they are looking for....
Magnetic... interesting.....in a crate... interesting... wait... whats that.... R...osw...ell... oh no... please no.... please don't do this Lucas.... Spielberg! STOP HIM!'
And that was it.... when that crate was opened, the movie had ventured into a new place that Indy writing had never dared to touch on before. No more religious relics, no more power of God, no more bull whip and Nazi's. Now we have Cate Blanchette as "Comrade Scully", looking for the crystal skully of space aliens as the movie continues to take Indy to locations and legends with SO MUCH POTENTIAL.... but such little satisfaction. But I guess what can we expect from this modern age of scientology... makes sense that Xenu is behind it all naturally.
You see.... Indiana Jones is an archaeologist, and now he's running after supernatural skulls that hold alien powers... He is no longer in the same sort of field that he was in previously, instead he is now playing the type of people that were "Predator Fodder" in the AVP movies as they looked for ancient Alien temples under ice and stuff. Except now it's in South America. Surely there could have been some other sort of legends they could have gone off of... especially when dealing with topics such as El Dorado, and Mayans.... but no... instead it's Indiana Jones and the psychic trans-dimensional crystal aliens. (Oh, I almost forgot the multitudes of scenes of cute furry animals... that didn't really add anything to the plot.... whats with the groundhogs and the soviet hating monkeys? anyways)
Even me... who has become infamous to some for being critical over the movies they love, making fun of little writing errors and silly concepts, am in awe of this movie. I mean, as a movie, I loved it. Indiana Jones himself is a legend no matter how old he is. As I said before, the homages to the old movies are great, you even get a glimpse of the Ark of the Covenant which was pretty cool. However my exasperation towards this movie can literally be summed up in the one word below
Aliens?

Pink Flowers
Yesterday during my long sit at the college studying... studying... studying... I took a short moment to peer out the window.
Where my study carole was situated right next to a window overlooking a row of flowers below me. It was then when I saw the most precious thing... I think it genuinely was the high point of my entire day. A little girl, skipping alongside her mom, with excited about the whole world around her, actually stopped to stick her nose deep inside this larger pink flower to take a good long smell. She then continued on.
Now, although I understand that there is a natural sense of cynicism and boring demeanor does seem to take on us as we grow up, I wish that I could see people my age doing that sort of thing. I think it's a loss of wonder over the world that we start to pick up... I know I have, for example I used to find a pile of logs in our yard fascinating as I grew up... my sister and I affectionately referred to it as "Grasshopper" because we conceived it to look like a massive grasshopper in our vibrant imaginations. I used to spend hours playing outside, and one of my favorite spots was a rock that I appropriately dubbed "Big Rock". One of my favorite sites to set up camp in my romps through the world. Nowadays, I know I've definitely become more consumed with matters of entertainment that other people have prepared for me, or worrying myself with the current events of friends or with preoccupying myself in front of a screen. I wish I could tap back into a sense of wonder, a sense of appreciation for the simple things. I used to, I do sometimes... but not as often as I need to.
Yesterday I walked past those flowers without thinking about smelling them... even in those few hours I had forgotten.
Today, someone had smashed them to bits.

Proud citizen of the Procrasti Nation
Yikes.... Although this is the worst possible thing I could decide to do right now... I've been meaning to sign on and write a blog for weeks now and kept... well, not.
SO! Procrastination commencing, I'm currently "studying" for one of my upcoming exams, Philosophy fun fun, however the topics aren't particularly fascinating to write one, fun to discuss... but essays are never the top of my list for pastimes.
Thats boring... onto more exciting topics, yesterday after work I stopped the car at the top of my driveway to watch the neighbor dog hunt gophers.
Not very exciting either... I feel as if I am running out of things to talk about...that hardly seems possible though, maybe just exciting things to talk about, instead I'm wasting YOUR time talking about gopher hunting jack sparriers.
Actually... on the note of gophers however, my house has recently been surrounded by all sorts of animals, deer on the lawn, gophers in the ground, pheasants cruising about, robins hitting windows. Spring is here, despite the crazy weather we've been having in the last few days, it snowed on Saturday, and hailed on friday! Something isn't right there...
In other musings....
I don't think it's fair to clump finals into this big slot of time AFTER classes are finished. I mean.... there was this horrible false sense of cheer the other day when I walked out of my final class for the semester.... only to realize that I now have two weeks of "false" break time, where I can't ask prof's for clarification, and I have entire days to study left wholly to my own discipline (very weak discipline at times as you can see...). Then there is this looming sense of dread for each approaching exam... sure I can be calmed by some sort of procrastination or distraction, but that hardly helps. Oh well, I'm not the only one in this situation I know that.
What will be nice, is the reward following my final exam on the 29th, FOR on the 30th is a concert that I have been anticipating for the longest time. For the past.... maybe 4 years now I've been wanting to see this one band live, As I Lay Dying. Even before the days of facebook and even before Myspace, (in the age when everyones "personalized internet outreach to the world" was their MSN messenger profile), my profile showed my "personal website" to be a music video of this very band playing live. (The song "Forever" to be exact, much to some friends dismay who hated that style of music and were horrified to find that I somehow found it appealing).
Anyways, I have been waiting for that long to see this band play live, sure they had come to BC before, but I hadn't been able to make it to those shows, work or school or whatever the reason had been. Anyways... finally, the one BC tour that I would be able to make it to, they are not only coming at a VERY convenient time, BUT they are also coming to Kelowna. Huz. Zah.
Now granted... we jumped the gun a bit on this one and bought tickets for the Vancouver show before realizing they were coming to a venue 15 min drive away.... BUT that's all been solved now, and on the 30th I will indulge myself with a very late night, not worrying about any school the next day.. and definitely not worrying about any final exams....
On that note... back to worrying about final exams.
**PS. Oh! Vanessa... Apparently I need to ask permission to view your blog now... this is me, asking.

Leaping Years
I can't tell if a year is in fact a long time....
I mean, I feel so tempted to say "only a year" becuase it seems like that doesn't it? It was only a year ago that _________, insert whatever you were up to this time last year.
Now when talking about it, it doesn't feel like that long, however when I try to remember it, it seems like so much longer than that. Tricky.
I mean, a year is only really a few months, and we count down months like no tommorow, this many till birthday, this many till christmas, this many till summer or this many until that new CD comes out, nothing right? only 4 weeks in a month, only 12 months in a year... 56 weeks really isn't that much...
And then at the same time... I mean... a whole year!! one year. I only have about 20 of them in my entire life experience... less!! So really... one year is a large chunk of my life! One year can't be a trivial thing like "12 months" seems, 365 days? we breeze through those 7 at a time!! But it is... it's a whole year, and we only have had so many.... remember how they used to seem so much longer?
And to think.... For example, I'm looking forward to 'The Dark Knight' coming out... that is 107 days away from now, thats a few months... 4ish to be exact... thats about 1/3rd of a year.... a year, which I've only ever had 19.5 of... WHY am I counting down the days for this!??! Why am I not stressing out about every second lost.... every day passing until yet another year has passed.... What was I doing that time last year? What will I be doing one year this time! How much happens in a year? We'd like to think alot.. but in the grand scheme of things not as much.
I don't know, a year? Really? wow.

Most terrifying moment ever
So, driving home from school today there was this one straight stretch of road...
And coming towards me in the opposite lane was a silver van. Now, this van was going a moderate speed, as was I, when all of a sudden a little squirrel runs out onto the road! He runs across my lane into the oncoming lane, and then freezes, on no! there is a big silver something coming towards him! So with his horrified legs spread, tail up, stance, he freezes, then decides to run back across my lane to the ditch he had been in.
However, this was right when I was beside him, this little guy runs right in front of me... and dissapears due to the hood of my car...
I listen for the bump and look in my rear view window for the little guy, distraught.
No body, he lived. That was no doubt one of the most terrifying moments for that squirrel. I was fine personally, but poor squirrel!
Anyways, to answer the mysterious anonymous, after about 30 min past my position in the blog, two friends from college came into the store, and after making small talk I asked them if they could watch my stuff,
all was well. but it was still an excruciating extra 30 min on top of my original panic.

I R Jon
I wear torn clothes becuase I feel strange getting new articles.
I like driving when the sun is low in the sky, even though it is hard to see. (It makes me feel like I'm driving Into nirvana, or Away from an nuclear explosion or something)
I like quoting movies and shows, and enjoy it when other people can quote them with me.
I love my Dog, and assume he loves me back when he makes eye contact
I'm not particularily funny or charming, but I might appear to be at first glance.
I recently started enjoying "Trailer Park Boys" quite a bit.
I also enjoy talking like the toy does in "Arby "N" The Chief" You can watch it on youtube if you so please.
I bought a new snowboard, and I like it alot, there is a semi interesting story behind my antics getting it. Ask me sometime.
I like Coffee, especially with dark chocolate on the side.
I like listening to movie soundtracks, instrumental. Particularly Jurassic Park and the Lord of the Rings.
I like Batman Begins
I am not who I expected I would be when I was little. If I were to talk to a young me, I would be asked why I'm not being a paleontologist.
I am irrationally concerned with health, at irrational times, and inconsistently.
I do not play video games often at all, however I do enjoy zelda and tetris.
I keep a Blog sometimes, and a written journal less frequently.

A Moose!
There is a Moose loose in my front yard!
It chased down the neighbors dog and trampled it! The thing ran away quick as can be after that.
Awesome. Fun "After Graveyard" entertainment.

In General
This semester is going well. Classes are fine, Philosophy is great, metaphysics is a stretch, macro economics is the academic "Suck", and the commute is fine if traffic isn't bad.
Speaking of, today on the drive home the sun was setting in everyone's eyes just low enough so that the sun blocker didn't do anything, so everyone was utilizing their hands, which made it look like a highway full of people "Zieg Heiling" in their cars. Bathed in golden sunlight.
I'm doing alot less nowadays... I feel like a hermit, I kind of stay at home for the most part, and havn't been arranging to do anything with friends... even if i did, I have no decent ideas for "what to do". I need regular distraction I think.
I've already seen Cloverfield, that was my highlight of the month. If anyone reads this who wasn't there with me haha, and you havn't seen it yet? Go, it's like Godzilla meets Blair witch, I loved it personally. So enjoy!
Any other exciting news I'll get back to blog later... figured it's been long enough, and people who only read the "first blog" (if anyone actually makes a habit of that...) has had their chance to see Paul Potts.
ps. I bought his CD, great! Opera huzza!

Semi-what I'm up to?
Missing you all!
Today I skimboarded, and in previous days I've been surfing. Unfortunately, the surfing has made the front of my body raw, especially the nips, it's horrible, but it was worth it, Surfing wasn't great, not the most fun I've had doign it before, rainy and cold as well, BUT! IT WAS STILL FUN. Huzzah.
Been diving, and such, I don't think i'm tanned... but that'll be realized when I get home.
Tommorow I'm going to Kona to the YWAM base there, to visit some folk, that will be great.
I wish I had some photo's to show you all... not at the moment, there are a few on facebook.
I really do wish I could be with everyone right now, I'll see you soon.
Much Love and all that such
-Jon !

Merry Christmas
Merry Christmas to everyone, that means YOU!
Although the actual day of Christmas is almost over, it's still nice to hear evening "Merry Christmas" wishes.
*Sigh.... and now the wolse season ends, the lights come down, and people stop anticipating and loving each other. Focus goes on new years, and then when thats over.... it's a whole year until the best time of the year.
and in completly unrelated news
I still stand by the solid fact that "The Fellowship of the Ring" is my favorite of the Lord of the Rings movies.

Chances are...
Edit: Whatever path I do take in the future... I want to reach a level of enough experience, whether it be in a career or just "life in general", where I can give good, honest advice to others. Maybe be a jerk while I'm at it, but still be respected, a "Dr. Cox" if you will (Mike).
Huzzah!
Anyways... I think thats more important to me than purpose I think... having people to help, not only practically, but through wisdom. THATS the word I was looking for, wisdom.
------
Chances are that this is just a result of panic and stress over exams... perhaps it's a mixture of many things, but none the less, the feeling is here and it sucks....
Not knowing direction. The other night I lay awake in bed not able to sleep while my mind raced, unfortunatly sleep didn't exactly make it all go away. I honestly have no idea where i'm going. Sure i'm going to school... but for what? An arts degree? I don't know what I want to do with that... I could be a teacher sure, that'd be swell haha, but thats not the satisfying "dream come true" for me. I want to know what is right in life for me, I want to know my "calling" as it were.
Whatever, i'll stress about this on my own later on, I'm not depressed or anything haha far from it, I'm just confused. I try reminding myself that i'm still young, and quite a bit younger than people i might be comparing myself to who are "on the right path" but still... the worlds competitive, I just feel if i don't get a grip soon, then I'm going to fall.
In other much happier news, Cry of the Afflicted show last night, awesome, amazing, they are the best. Too bad you wern't there mike, missed you bud, next time. Next time.
Also, for those who may not know but possibly take a gander at this blog from time to time, This christmas/newyears/ ("Politically correct/irritating "holiday season?) I am going to Hawaii with the entire extended family and such. I'm really looking forward to it for obvious reasons, spending time with cousins who I havn't seen in years now due to my travels and such.
Well.... Final at 6.pm tonight, I have no doubt in my mind that this blog was me trying to get away from it.... but back I go "cadre parties and single member pluralities" (it's as exciting as it sounds!!)
Huzzah!

I'm really looking forward to it for obvious reasons, spending time with cousins who I havn't seen in years now due to my travels and such.
Well.... Final at 6.pm tonight, I have no doubt in my mind that this blog was me trying to get away from it.... but back I go "cadre parties and single member pluralities" (it's as exciting as it sounds!!)

Oh wow, and socks
hahaha, So last night I worked a 12 hour shift, (Today?) and got home at 12 noon.
Had my shower etc, and had a realy good idea of something to write a blog about... however i sat down on the couch with my computer and....
It is now 6:13pm
Lame, I hate sleeping, it made me forget my awesome blog subject. It was good enough to actually motivate me TO write another blog, I'm a few weeks behind.
New edit*
So, my socks are different sizes... they look exactly the same... except one is longer. Irritating, but what is worse!
...Is that i know that this same occurrence is due to happen again at least once more in the future....
I love my job
The snow is kind of trying to come back today.... not interesting. It's had it's chance, then it melted... I don't think so snow.
Also... I sprained my wrist at work the other day during my 12 hour shift.... and now it kills. Very Very Lame.

Midnight shift activities
Today during graveyard was basically "dish out" Transformers fest, thankfully some people on the crew had seen it, for the first time AFTER they had heard my.... unique review? (well.. unique to kelowna at least... everyone seemed to love it)
None the less, hahah they said all they could think about was "Jon said he hates this part" and thus started oppertunity to laugh at ridiculousness of the movie. Yes, i know it's about giant robots, I'm not talking about ridiculous in that sense, I mean just parts where... I don't know WHAT possessed the writers to put it in there.
I wish I had written a review blog on taht movie after it cameo ut, similar to my pirates3 one. I guess i'll have to wait until the next big blockbuster.
ALSO, another thing that I have been discussing recently during graveyard shifts, (where all the best conversation happens, sleep deprived awesomeness) has been the fact that I dislike it how so many songs nowadays (mostly hip hop, but not excluding britney spears) seem to have this retarded trend where someone, not even always the artist themself, will talk, and then do a retarded little laugh, it's always like a "heh heh" just those two. Everyone from JT, to Britney spears, to Fiddy is guilty of this irritating addition to the songs. I could go on more about it, but it's more fun to discuss in person.
--------------------------
In other news.... I sincerly, sincerly hope that the name "Smore's" did NOT come from this...
"they are so good, i want s'more"
*shudder*

Everyone Everwhere
Boy was today wierd, I was running into everyone everwhere, family, friends, randoms here and there, nuts.
My cousin in law in tim hortons
My uncle at airport
Friend who coincidentally I had been talking about earlier at tim hortons (different time, yes twice in one day)
Uncle at blockbuster
In other news, I saw my dad off at the airport earlier tonight, and this security lady walked up to a very nice young man with his little puppy (aw) and said "Your dog has to leave now" incredibly rudely, it made my blood boil, she continued to be rude and while the guy was doing what she asked he was calmy trying to reason with her that he cannot take his dog outside RIGHT then for whatever reason, she continues to be unbelievably rude, and he asks her if she could just be a bit more polite, she then walky talkies for backup!!! "resistant male, backup needed"
It made me so mad I actually stood up and challenged her "P's an Q's lady, Ma'am I understand you have authority, but c'mon" She turns away and continues to ask for backup. Unbelievable, i was so mad ahah I couldn't believe her, unfortuantly I left before I saw the end of the situation.
School is going well, and it's either the weather or something i don't know, but i've been in a wierd mood lately. A bit of a loner and sometimes downer mood i think, but we'll see what happens. It usually comes around now at the change of the seasons, season changes usually stress me out, mostly just late fall, and early spring. These things happen.
