Resentment

I HATE MY PARENTS!!!! I resent them so very much not only because of all the hardships they make me endure but because when they get into a argument I somehow am always receiving flak while not causing any trouble myself. I am extremely sick of such treatment and am unable to forgive my parents for what they have done to me.
(so this is what happened) All week I toiled to create a portrait of my deceased grandmother in the prime of her life during my art class and took much pride in it. Once finished, my art 12 teacher gave me a 100% mark on it and I took it to the mall for a framing job which costed me $60. When I got home my father was not there so I thought maybe he was working overtime. It was 8pm, I was at the gym, my father came home drunk and arguing with my mother all throughout the night incessantly. The next day I was coming back from a great day at school and my mother comes up to me and told me some lady called me regarding a job. She also mentioned that she ripped my portrait of my grandmother because she was angry with my father. At this point, I was furious, I began swearing and pacing quickly on my way home to see the damage done. She took the time to remove it from its frame then rip it down the center and finish it off by crumpling it and leaving it in the garbage. This was it, I told myself that I had had enough of this and began trashing the house. I threw the stereo set across the room, knocked over the bikes, toppled the kitchen table, flipped over the couches, and other property damage to calm me of my pent up anger. Both of my parents are to blame for these actions, my father for getting drunk and becoming disorderly, and my mother for being an insane --->(insert the worst labels you can think of here)<--- **** I will still send the portrait to Montreal because I worked too hard to not do so. I am going to leave the premises of my home for my parents to come back to because I want them to understand just how fucking pissed off I am at their childish behaviour and to keep them from damaging my property ever again. I dont like to act this way but this is the only way I seem to be able to get a point across to them. Fighting fire with fire.****

Most exhausting day of my life

On Saturday I got up at 7am and popped onto the skytrain for a hour ride to burrard street for an interview at my new job. Finally after asking tourist upon tourist regarding the location of the local Sheraton hotel I found my way to the worksite. Arriving at about 9am I sat in the lobby of the hotel waiting for my potential employer to greet me as I did some law homework in the luxurious Sheraton hotel wall center on Burrard street(Vancouver). At 10am I met the employer and the interview went well and I left after putting some finishing touches on my application. Feeling good about my interview, I decided to stroll around downtown Vancouver then take a 5 hour slow walk around the seawall. By the time I finished my feet were sore and so I returned home at 4:30 pm. Upon returning home my father told me that the employer called and wanted me working from 5:30pm until 2:30am but the train back home stopped at 1:15am so they settled for 5:30-12:30. Being excited about the quick employment I rushed down to the jobsite where I worked shuffling around thousands of bottles & glasses, cleaning dishes, monitoring banquet servers, and throwing out food. I found my job extremely interesting because I was working among top culinary chefs and I could eat as much gourmet food as I wanted because it was going to be thrown out anyways and it was never even touched. The job was extremely fast paced(we were serving 2700 rich people at a banquet &dance that night) and I could not believe it when my supervisor told me to throw out hundreds of pounds of perfectly good cheesecake, chicken, salmon, oysters, lasagna, and more. I never knew what it took to cater to such large banquet and such rich people before I worked here. Infact it was so busy that night that I was requested to stay until 3:30 working overtime with double pay plus I got room and board at a 4 diamond luxury hotel on the 29th floor overlooking Burrard street(The part that surprised me was that I had to stay in it with another 20 year old male. Being a tad bit homophobic I was reluctant at first but we got along fine). By the end of it all I was so exhausted and could barely keep my eyes open and just wanted to get into my hotel room to shower and sleep(but I couldn't help but to indulge into the internet, cable TV, video games, and food before I went to bed). The next day more was still required of me since I had to do a filming project that was supposed to be a serious spoof of an episode of CSI and I was the victim. This was honestly the most exhaustng day of my life****Ok well I didn't go to school today since I was so damn tired and wanted to catch up on some school work but I did take an online quiz to see what highschool sterotype I was.


Take the What High school sterotype Are You? quiz.****

Working weekends again

Ok, so this I going to have to be a quick update.
I recently found a job at a upscale restaurant in the Sheraton hotel wall center on Burrard street(downtown Vancouver). The thing is that I got the job as a dishwasher(Its ok though because they have a big machine that washes all the dishes for me). My fitness program is doing great and I have been gaining a lot of strength(in two months I went from doing 1 chin up to 3 sets of 10 chin up) but I am still only 150 pounds. I am planning to go to the British Columbia Institute of Technology after watching their recruitment presentation. They have a good trades apprenticeship program so that I may earn while I learn in order to support myself and especially my bottomless stomach. Recently I got in contact with my cousins from Canmore, Alberta. After talking with my 13 year old cousin Joseph I let him share my runescape account which is fun because I can come home and check out what he has done with it. Oh! and lastly, I was voted the student of the month in my law class. I was extremely surprised since I spend no time whatsoever doing work in that class but I guess it was for being very knowledgeable about the subject and enlightening my classmates on certain case studies.
