Best random Day Ever! PLEASE READ
Alright readers (how many of you are out there). My posts are rare, but do read this one as it entales a very long 14 hour day, and the coincidental tomfoolery that unsued.
9:30-11am, getting downtown (yes i know, so far this is boring an unnecessary, BUT READ ON!)
EARLY DAY
11AM- Alright, so i'm down at second cup since my good friend A-rizzle (i know, it's a bad nickname! i'm sorry) said there was an opening and i need a job. Unforunately her boss woulnd't be there till 12:30ish. To pass the time, i visited my brother at work at the NFB and watched films there for an hour, including Ryan. Quite good!
Finally i got to meet her boss, he checked over my crude resumé, we had a small conversation. he was really nice but i don't think he liked me much. 'A' said he did, so let's hope so.
The next while was spent finding something to do between 1pm and 3:30pm. At 3:30, my dad, brother and i were gonna see Superman (finally). I passed the time by aimlessly walking about downtown, and going to the silversnail and HMV.
SUPERMAN IN IMAX 3D
I'm sure most of you have seen superman by now, but have you seen it on a 6 story screen and with 3-d glasses? now first off, i went into the movie with low expectations, and i thought overall it was really good, (despite a few plotholes and such.) Man what a crazy experience. thats all i can say about that.
(INTERLUDE! BY THIS POINT YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT I'VE HAD "ELEANOR RIGBY" STUCK IN MY HEAD ALLL DAY AND NOW. IT'S SOO BRILLIANT IT'S GIVING ME A HEADACHE, AND WILL PREVENT ME FROM SLEEPING)
OKAY, next thing, justin leaves for friend's house, i go with my dad back to his work cuz he left his laptop there. While on the elevator, there was this guy swearing like mad, going "FUCKING PEICE OF SHIT ELEVATOR *KICK* FUCKING COMPANY!" my dad goes "it's not the company's fault" "FUCKING FUCK ASS SHIT!" we get off.
there were lots of crazy people around :P
Next, i was supposed to somehow meet with a bunch of people to eat at Fran's. I'd been trying to reach them all day, but to no avail. Finally i managed to reach Sangita. Her and Tara would not be able to get down till 8:15. It was 7pm and i was at the Eaton Centre. What was i to do for the next over an hour?? I did what any sane person woulda done. I called Nick Peach, and guess what, he was at the Eaton Centre too.
...I know! Can you beleive that luck?! incredible! I met up with him and we went Camera Window Shopping at the store where my brother bought his camera. THe owner was like "We are a professional Store. You can't beat our prices! Dave Chapelle came here the other day and bouthg 3 cameras." ...rriight okay.
At 8pm I managed to reach Dave , but it would take him a while to get down there.
By 8:45 we managed to find Sangita and Tara and we'd all forgotten how to get to Fran;s. Around 9:10 I got a call from Dave, and he was there already! Amazing!! We followed his directions and made it to Fran's for a very fun filled dinner. Sangita and Tara had to leave at 9:45 cuz they were seeing a movie with Sam.
AND THIS IS WHERE THE STORY GETS GOOD
After Fran's we randomly strolled around Downtown, and although my memory on the events are a little shoddy, we ended up at a Church of Scientology. Of course, we went in. There was a middle-aged band playing scientology promoting songs, while the elderly crowd clapped along. We were given a periodical magazine , issue 383, on scientology. THen, outta no where, 3 drunk 20-some year olds come in and start yelling "YAH!!! SCIENTOLOGY! TOM CRUISE!! YAAHH!" the band members started smiling and pointing to them while nodding there heads. the singer said something like "guy in the white shirt, guy in the white shirt" and the loudest drunkie started dancing. after a while the singer went "guy in the green shirt" "thats you man! thats you!" said drunkie 1 to drunkie 2. Drunkie 2 started dancing. finally drunkie 3 was called upon, then all of them. Drunkie 1 started yelling louder now , "TOM CRUISE! TOM CRUISE!" so a man went up to him and said "alright, alright, thats enough" "TOM CRUISE!! TOM CRUISE!!" the man went over to hug him to calm him down, but the drunkie shoved him off, saying "YOU'RE NOT TOM CRUISE!!!! SCIENTOLOGY!!! YEAAAAAHH!" ..oh man, sooo entertaining. We left soon after, certain that nothing would top this, however still hoping to find something that would.
As we continued walking, we went past the more adult part of downtown and nick and i started exchanging gritaly stories, and told dave how good it is. As we were saying this, we noticed an odd alley. Well lit, Very clean, with interlocking stone/bricks for the ground. We knew we had to go through, and upon coming out the other side, we all agreed: we had been transported to another place. There was a boardwalk, tropical grass, a very clean fountain that mimiced rain, and it was filled with people. It was the most baffling thing ever. It blew my mind. The streets were very narrow in width, much like the streets seen on the Gritaly trip. All the cars that went by were very expensive and european. We slowly walked around, looking all about, until we came across another alley way, this one filled with patios and people. WHERE THE HELL ARE WE?! we walked through, and to our left and right were just party after party after party. I thought that we weren't supposed to have been there, and that somehow we got through security. That probably was the case. Every few seconds one of us would comment either on how crazy this was, or how we wished we were over 19. After passing through a final alley way, we ended up RIGHT INFRONT OF MY AUNTS HOUSE. More coincidently, i'm going there tmorw. The coincidences were mind-boggling! We decided to get on the subway and head for Finch since we had exhausted downtown.
We tried calling people, but unfortunately no one was around. After doing nothing at Finch for a while, we decided to go home since we were getting tired. THE POINT OF THIS STORY IS THAT TARA AND SANGITA MISSED OUT BIGTIME! THEY SAW "YOU, ME AND DUPREE" INSTEAD. POOR SOULS!
the other part of the story is THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME! somehow
sure, it may not have sounded like the best time ever, but the scientology thing was sooo sick!
