You know what feels good? When you are right, people ignore you and then they realize they should have listened to you all along. Yes this brings us back to an incident from a few weeks ago and a great which hunt that followed it (yes I'm being vauge for reason) but those involved with an incident know what I'm talking about. See believe it or not, there are people out there in the world that don't like Stu (yes I'm as shocked as you are). But what Stu has developed over time is a 6th sense for sensing these people. When Stu senses that a person doesn't like him, he's always right, and when he makes an accusation, you should listen up, instead of blaming all the wrong people Robb.

Wow, what a finish. CST FC scored with no time remaining to win 5-4. What made this win extra special was the fact that CST FC battled back from a 4-1 deficit (all my fault might I add) and a goalie taking one right off the face (that was the best 3 hour nap of my life when I got home though). This game was an epic battle that showed just how much more heart CST FC has than the rest of the league. With a 4-1-1 record, we are definetly riding some sort of a hot streak. This is the second game we've managed to score in with time expiring. Last time it was to tie the game up at 2-2 (the start of our unbeaten streak). Good work boys fighting back and not quitting! That's how you can tell who a true champion is.

As for me, yes I did take a ball right off the side of the face (another 2 inches to the right and my nose would have been busted wide open for sure), I did feel a little out of it, but I managed to wait for a whistle and get the hell off the floor (my ego won't let the play stop on account of an injury). But I'm feeling fine now.

It's gameday, but like any other Sunday half the fun is the anticipation before the game starts. If you can't get excited over the anticipation before the game, maybe you need to find yourself a new sport. So CST FC looks to keep their winning ways going against some other team today. As long as we can keep our defensive system in tact and put the ball away when we get the chance, we'll come out on top. I'm playing injured today as I have a minor cut on my left ring finger. But being the trooper I am, I'll fight through the pain.

Work sucked yesterday, highlight of my day was going to Tony and Jim's for dinner (around 8). It sucks though that it took 25 minutes to cook a panzarotti and 2lbs of wings. It's good though that I had a beer during that time (For those keeping score, that's the 2nd job this year that I've had a beer during company time...I'm such a bad ass it's not even funny). The panzarotti was really good, the wings (well I didn't order them) were dry and rubbery. Needless to say, I'm not going back there for wings (not that I ever really went there to begin with). Turtle Jacks has the best wings in my opinion. Dammed expensive (except on Monday nights when they are half price). Come to think of it, I haven't had ribs in a long time. That's going to have to change now that my birthday is coming up and I can con somebody into paying for them.

It felt good to sleep in this morning, a shame though when you go to bed upset about something. So lets see what's up? Well there's no more project planning courses at Sheridan for me to have to sleep through. Man those classes had to be some of the worst waste of our tution dollars since hiring me for IT. So it's 11:40 am and I have nothing to do until 4 when I work. No homework to do, so that's always a relief. Wow, I'm really bored right now. Maybe I'll play some more Madden or something.

In one of the hardest fought battles of all time, CST FC has contiuned their winning streak. Not by being faster, stronger or trying harder, but by default. Yup, seems my shutout streak has restarted itself. We were supposed to play a new team (I only found out about the game last night) until it turns out that this new team forefited (bunch of quitters) and this new team was all female (damm I wanted to share the change room with them too). Ahh well, I think we are 3-1-1 right now heading into the big Thursday matchup.

I go to school for the unexpected. Whether it's the disgusted looks when I say lines like "fiesta" or "it's all about the bounce" to female students, or when it has something to do with your homework. Today in simulation, Jim (the instructor) was looking over my help desk simulation project when he said something that totally took me off guard.

"That's a good use of object oriented design. Can I use this code to teach future students".

Now let me explain something about this code. It's nothing ground breaking or earth shattering at all. In fact, it's very basic stuff. In fact, here it is. For those that have done java before, you'll know it's not above the difficulty level of a student learning java in his or her 3rd or 4th week.

It felt good to know that something I did at 2am will be used to teach future levels of students who will do nothing more than change the variable names and submit it. They'll look at my code, think I'm some good programmer (haha, wait until they see what I got on the midterm) and somewhat respect me. I feel important now. Weird how something so simple can do so much for one person. I'm Stu Gautz, and this is my cheesy ending line.

So I've come to the decision that maybe I should reduce my beer intake for a bit. I dunno, I just had the thought while drinking and watching the football game today. When I say reduce beer intake I do not mean less alcohol, I'll just have to find other ways to consume alchohol (ie. more mixed drinks and shooters). Maybe it's a part of the New Stu, who knows. All that can be certain is at my birthday there'll be less beer going in and more drinks of other types.

And while I'm talking about alcohol, one thing I don't mention enough is how much I hate coolers. I can't stand these things. Now I know some people like them, and I'm fine with that, hey anything that gets women drunk is fine by me! I just can't stand the amount of sugar that goes into those drinks. So as I finish off one of my last bottles of Blue (if somebody buys me a beer, I'm not going to turn it down btw) I remember all the good times I've had with beer, as well as the bad and the ugly (we don't need to go into that section on this blog). Now where did I put that bottle of rum?

I really sholud stop going to bed at 5am. That is all.

Yup, I am 41% evil, only blog that's linked to mine who beats me is DP at 49% evil.

Today is the day of the big job fair. Well not really, there's only one big IT company hiring about 80 positions. So I better be on my best behaviour, act friendly, say the right things and most importantly not screw up. See that's how you know you have confidence in your abilities when you are planning to not screw up instead of doing something right. It's the difference between running a conservative offence, and going to an all out attack. Sure both ways could get you to score. One might be quicker, but you could also crash and burn. The other, may take longer and be a bit tougher, but if you don't succeed you will get the feeling of having not really moved anywhere.

So wish me luck, as having a full time job before I graduate would be an ideal situation for me (even allowing me enough money to spend New Year's Eve in Vegas or Cancun or some other warm location instead of another Niagara Falls incident).

Wow, 3 workday posts in a row. I'm going to have to hold back my excitment because there is so much of it. Well not really, but you get the idea. So yeah, only 5 hours, 45 minutes left until I go home. Work sucks. That is all, but the money is good.

And so another day is upon me and again, I'm at work. I actually arrived a couple minutes early today. So what's a guy to do at work? Well, I was supposed to clean labs, but The Professor volunteered to take over the task so I could write up a couple CRM calls instead. Well, long story short, I finished my job in 20 minutes, and he's still working on his. Haha, sucks to be him I guess. Other than wiring more network cables, I've done absolutely nothing (in fact, I've been told that I'm doing too much work and making people around here nervous). Oh yeah, some good looking girl came in today, yeah she wasn't bad looking at all. You know I'm bored when I'm talking about stuff like that. It's a shame Barb helped her instead of me.

See I write posts like the ones below to get a reaction out of people. I don't care if it's good or bad, it's a reaction. The below post worked because I see two messages on my tag board (which hasn't been raided in a while). Anyways, I was back at work today, I think I wired about 15 ethernet cables and that was it for the day. I really need to borrow the crimper because I think I have a few loose ends at home. Maybe I'll do that later on in the week. Man the new poutine at Sheridan sucks.

Ok, time to address a serious issue here. I told you guys earlier about an article depicting the crew as a bunch of pervs. What that article fails to mention is the message board was actually a town hall for the kids in class where we freely exchanged ideas and thoughts about what was going on in class. Was there a photo album? Yes. What the article doesn't mention about the photoalbum is the ratio of male to female pictures in there. Odd that there's more guys in these pictures than females. Although, you are only doing a random sampling and only remember the female pictures, you'll tend to write an article like that. But good reporting on Kate Chandler's part I must say. You do a writeup on a website without contacting the webmaster. Yup Kate Chandler you are going places! Get ready to write program descriptions for TV guide!

Felt I should update today since I didn't update the last 2 days. Nothing much happend this weekend, the New Stu is still braking new grounds and going places the old Stu never went. But other than that, it's been pretty much a normal couple of days for Stu. Reading week is this week, so I'll have a ton more free time to catch up on all the sleep I've been missing, as well as put in a few extra hours at work so I can make some more money. I'll update later with something important maybe.

Well, since whoever it was that tried to bring down the crew obviously failed and is a coward, I feel free to take potshots at them. So, whoever you are (*cough* Steve *cough*) I am mad at you and will not rest until your life is miserable. Bah, that takes too much effort, maybe I'll just take pictures of everybody in my class, and post them on this site one by one until I get a complaint. That will be followed by the biggest FU blog mankind has ever seen.

Best thing about this country is we go from a 5 party system to a 2 party system with just one merger. Well that and I can take pictuers of whoever I want in public places.

You know what sucks in life? When a group of good friends have a message board, where we make fun of each other as well as other people, and somebody complains to a teacher about it. See I have nothing wrong with offending people...I try to do it as much as possible sometimes, but when somebody is offended, I like to know about it. Don't fucking run and cry to somebody else. Tell me it bothers you and I'll continue to do it more. That is all. Yes rats get too much protection, what's funny is that rats eat rats.

Yes it is true, F1 racing is back in Montreal! As Sw0rdFish reported, a deal has been struck. Seems Mr. Ecklestone, Mr. Williams and Toyota realize that 2 races in the North American market are better than one. Too bad the race is too dammed expensive for me to go visit again. Ahh well, I went last year, once is enough for me.

Funny thing about this is in the article, Frank Williams says he needed the Montreal race as a second North American venue to entertain clients, but Ron Denis from McLaren doesn't like that fact that Montreal bought their way back onto the calender. Hmm, sounds a little like there were a few more politics than meets the eye. And for the record, Compaq and Budweiser are still both American companies last time I checked and both major sponsors of the Williams team. Do you see that same sponsorship exist on the McLaren cars? Hmmm.

I know the days are getting shorter and all, but this is rediculous. I've had at least 3 seperate occasions today where I did not know what day of the week it was. Between Thanksgiving and my Java midterm and just general stuff going on in life, I'm confused as to what the hell day it is. I've finally mananged to figure out that I"m in the middle of the week, the same distance from both weekends (well...the Saturday one is closer by about 3 hours).

I've managed to successfully connect my two routers so my two computers (don't ask) can work fine together. I think I'm the only one that's proud to boast a 1:1 router to computer ratio at home. I'll probably buy a new system in the winter if I get a good coop job.

Damm I'm slacking off with my postings. Just got back from a soccer game I didn't know existed until 15 minutes before kick off. And to save you the suspense, after 3 scoreless halves, my shutout streak was broken with 7 minutes left in the second half, on a questionable goal. Meh I don't care, as long as the team wins, I'm happy. Of course, I think I only had to make 6 or 7 stops the whole game. We tottaly beat up on Davis FC 7-1. The wealth was spread around as Celste had 3, Clive had 2, Sw0rdFish and Yan both had one.

We don't play until October 30th, which really sucks, because I was really getting into a rythm and you could tell the team was coming together. Such is scheduling. Our record stands at 2-1-1 and we are unbeaten in our last 3. So let's hope we continue this momentum.

Didn't update yesterday due to filming, today I was out for thanksgiving lunch. So instead of almost missing 2 straight days of updates, I'll add this quick one here while I watch the 49ers-Seahawks game. Mmm, turkey, I had a lot of it today. That's what's good about thanksgiving, eating turkey. And pumpkin pie. But more turkey than anything else. Although when you are with family, it sucks that you can't just lie down on the couch and watch more football while you sleep. But seeing family and having everybody mad at you for constantly flashing them...with the camera (get your minds out of the gutter) can be fun as well.

Revenge is a mother fucker. (Pun Intended)

Wow, 4-0, my first shutout. Although this is one of the games where the defence should get the credit for the win, not the goalie. They didn't let the other team get too many clean chances and they always cleared the rebounds. Good work guys, let's try to make it 2 in a row heading into the break. A 2-1-1 record sounds much better than a 1-2-1 or 1-1-2 record.

Decided on having something greasy for breakfast. In the "New Stu" world that means I get the Canadiana. Anybody who hasn't gone been to Sheridan college for breakfast has no clue what I'm talking about. It's a BLT on an english muffin with an egg so it can be classified as a breakfast meal. Yup, and really greasy. Put a chocolate milk next to it, and that's some good breakfast. I'm offically off the double double and a bagel. Coffee will be rare in my world, that's for sure!

And in other news, seems like the Liberals are already backing out on their election promises. Wow, they haven't even taken control of the legislature yet and already they are flip flopping. We are in for a really fun 4 years. Congradulations Onatrio, you guys wanted a change, and now we got one. Compare this to what Harris did his first month in office. Yeah, good choice chosing McGuinty.

Chalk this one up in the I never thought this day would come column. Seems that Condition Zero has finally gone gold. I seriously thought this day may never come as it's not much of an upgrade (ok there is single player) to the original Counter Strike game. But hey, only took them 2 years of delays and about 3 different defvelopers so you know it's going to be good. Right people? Right? Sad thing is I'll buy the game as soon as it comes out.

By now everybody and their mother knows Schwarzengger the fondler/nazi/best politician out there (I would have voted for him if I could) has won. Yes we all know that 3 days before the election, payed democrats...errr gold diggers...err attention seekers...err women claimed Arnold sexually assulted them in one form or another tried to derail his bid to become governor because you know, now that the 7 years have passed since the incident, it's time to try to make money off of it or at least get your name in the news. Stupid people.

Anyways, in the real shocking upset of the night, Larry Flynt edged out Gary Coleman in the also ran category. Seems only 15,155 wanna be porn stars voted for Mr. Flynt while 12,549 never want to see another Gary Colemen acting job again and were willing to put their state ahead of their TV. And what's more suprising was that only 9,855 perverts voted for the Adult Film actress Mary Carey. But I say if you are going to run for anything make sure you a) don't come in last. b) do something special like get arrested in order to get in the news and most importantly c) Get more than 171 votes in a state with something like 30 million people. Yes Todd Richard Lewis I am talking to you.

Well CST FC had their best game by far today. A come from behind 2-2 draw. Just as it seemed CST FC was headed towards another defeat, Stu breaks up a 2 on none play that most other goalies surely would have let a goal get by. Keeping my composure, I moved the ball up court where Celeste our star striker nailed the game tying goal with a whole 2 seconds left. A flair for the dramatics, that's for sure. Good work boys!

In the Madden world, my Lions had problem defeating the Eagles 34-21 in the wild card round of the playoffs. I think I may have had my best day as a qb going 13-15 for 201 yards and 2tds. That's efficency baby! I was shocked at just how easy it was...or maybe I am seeing the field much better than before. Of course, having a running back go for 90 yards really helps the passing game. Yup that was one smart draft pick. Actually I think I have 4 rookies in the lineup all contributing as starters. That helps keep the cap space down having that many rookies play.

Stupid java. Keep me from sleeping eh? I'll show you!

Stupid IBM thinkpads and their foward and back buttons on the laptop I lost two blogs (well same post just typed over twice) because of it. So now I'll have to make my update short and sweet. I'm heading out to Daily Planet tonight, knowing what day it is (October 4th). It really sucks when you are ready and your ride hasn't showered yet. But alas time for complaining is over, it's time to have some fun. And yes I still hate it when people send you a message, your reply instantly (hence instant messaging) and the other party takes their sweet time to give you a one word response. (Can you tell that happend to me today?)

I'm debating whether or not i should bring the camera. The No side is winning right now. Maybe next time, I've taken tons of pics of Niagara before anyway.

Went to see Sloan last night with Boost Monkey and his girlfriend. Took a couple of pics (well, 180 actually, but most of them aren't worth posting). Funny thing is when I'm drunk, I take pictures that in the morning, I have no clue who these females were (I won't post them either).








A crowd shot


Wait...this guy was supposed to drive me home?!?

Today is the Provincial Elections in Ontario day and me being the outstanding citizen that I am had to vote. But when Stu votes, he brings along his camera and takes this picture:



I would have got a better shot, except there was 4 people staring at me and the booths were pretty small this year so there wasn't much cover. But still, you can see what an official Ontario Ballot looks like (and with the proper voting procedure). See Florida, this is why we don't have problems with hanging chads, good old fashioned pencil and paper technology, can never go wrong with that baby!

Went to 8am class this morning, except there was no teacher to be seen. You see, this is why I hate 8am classes, because if you go there and the teacher is MIA, WTF did I wake up for? It really pisses me off to see that. So I was pretty upset, until I came home from lunch, watched a bit of the champions league game and took a 3 hour nap (yes because 8am classes leave the whole day ahead of you to sleep, instead of sleeping in and taking the rest of your day in one shot).

So that's my day for you.
