Went to the De La Soul concert on April 18. It was definitely “da bomb”. Night started out with me traveling to Ticket Master with my neighbour Ben. He totally picked up tickets last minute. But it’s a good thing he came. I’m pretty sure he thought the same. Then went off to Richmond to pick up Andrew. From all my friends, he is the only one with the exact same taste in music as me.

Show definitely started out on a good note with some good ass DJ’s playing some old school that we all need to hear. A lot of good old school that I wanted to download and put into my iPod. Was too lazy to type all that stuff out onto my BB though. Just not enough time. De La Soul came out, crowd went wild. ‘Nuff said. They preformed a lot of their hits, but it was really hard to hear them because they were yelling into the mics. All good though, I still had a good time. Afterwards, we made an unplanned trip to Fabric, even though I had work at 8am the next day. Fabric was okay, but I would have rather much stayed home and slept LOL. Gettin’ tired of clubbin’. Hoy…anyways I’ve posted some pictures. See more in the gallery.

Yeah, I’m writing this post a little late, but I hit up Justice’s concert at the Commodore March 25.  These guys are awesome live.  I was never into this type of music before, but Melissa has once again showed me the light. She said she had one ticket available and asked if I wanted it. She even offered face value on the ticket. How generous; I could not pass up a sweet offer such as that one and agreed to buy the ticket the day of the concert. Sucks that none of my friends are into Justice. Luckily my cousin Darrell and my friend (and old co-worker at Mikky D’s) were there. I pretty much chilled with them the entire concert.

Diplo was the opener. He was alright. Just played a few tracks to get the crowd semi-pumped. Floor was empty though, and people were obviously there to see Justice. Once Justice came on board though crowd got crazy. It got so packed in there. Felt like a high school dance where it’s so cramp and everybody is there and walls get nasty and steamy. Yep, they were definitely there to see Justice. These guys can put on a good show. I like their beats and their sound is unique. Of course the only thing I kept staring out was this big giant glowing cross at the center of the stage. All in all good concert and I was glad I went.

I finally completed my COMP 8006 course. The one course that had me pulling all those all-nighters to finish assignments that I was given adequate time to complete. The last class was yesterday morning at 10:00AM. Our final assignment was literally an assignment that required us to look through an assortment of logs and write a report on your findings. Yep, that’s right…freakin’ log files. And no, not just one log file, 1GB of LOGS. 1GB of TEXT! I never realized how many kinds of logs existed until this final project took a hold of my life. There were CRON logs, System Logs, Boot Logs, SNORT Logs, httpd access logs, httpd error logs…the list keeps going. That list also included Windows logs. The main objective was to look at logs from 3 separate networks and determine what occurred. For example, in one network a 3proxy exploit was performed, which allowed an attacker to cause a buffer overflow to a system and run arbitrary code, thus taking control of a system. Too much things too describe which I didn’t even know were possible.

Our instructor gave us adequate time to complete this final project. One month, to be exact. So when did I choose to start it? About one week ago. I hardly got anything done within that week though. So, it boiled down to this. I stayed up on Thursday night all the way into Friday morning (6AM to be exact). Got a good portion completed and then decided that rest is an important thing. I woke up at 2PM and worked all the way until 8AM the next day. Went to Richmond to meet up with my friend Travis to get our projects bound together. Finally got to school at 10AM to successfully hand in the final project and complete my final (which is another story altogether). Ah procrastination, you got me again you little devil you. Anyways, the course is done! Pulling this all nighter to complete the assignment brought back those stressful memories of BCIT. Finishing a project under pressure, as well as not seeing your friends, EVAR! Those were the things I DID NOT miss from being a full-time student.

Anyways, after the final, I went to Earls with Christina then decided to go home. I unknowingly passed out neglecting the fact that my friends were to come later and I was supposed to open the door for them. Not a good idea to forget your friends. Let’s just say jumping up and down on someone’s bed is the best way to wake them up.

Ahh well, just happy that course is over. It’s too bad I already start school tomorrow :(. No breaks.

Ohh and on a side note, I bought a legal copy of Starcraft. Yeah, I know ghetto. My friends got me into it.
