	My teachers are on strike. I sure feel great that the thousands of dollars I paid for this education are well spent. I'm so sick of the nonsense this year, and this is the icing on the cake. Right now I'd love to just quit. I'd leave in search of greener pastures. I'd look for things that inspire me, thing that make me feel like every day is too short. I read an article recently that pointed out that the simple fact that humans exist is a miracle in itself, yet we spend so much of our time unhappy. I wish I could lie in the grass and look at the stars right now, but all I see is the orange mud in the sky over Toronto.

	Well, I'm back in action after weeks of software issues. I love computers. Off topic, I'm raising an army to take over the world. Nothing fancy, just your average bloodbath. I figure if each soldier can kill 5 people, I'd only need about 1 billion people to sign up. If you want to join my army, email draftme@andrejolicoeur.com. Girls only please.

	Okay, there is something that has been bothering me for some time now. It seems, as I travel about the city, that every escelator that is supposed to be moving in my direction is out of oder. On my trip to school yesterday, the 3 escelators I use were all just sitting there, escelating nothing. The worst was the one going up at Downsview subway station, because the stairs are 3 stories high. On the way home, the one going down was out of order. Whoever is playing this joke on me, that's enough. I get it. Very funny. Now pleaase stop!

	Me and my dog Jebas had a fight the other day. I lost my temper and told him he was a "selfish, lazy, good for nothing freeloader, who leeches off decent hard-working people and doesn't show any gratitude". He just sat there wagging his tail. "You mean nothing to me!" I said as I left the house in a huff, but hours later I felt really bad. When I came home, I brought him a bone (hoping he'd forget all about my bad temper). That night he looked happy as he quietly chewed at the bone, but I could tell the damage had been done. I write this so you won't make the same mistakes I have. Don't let innocence become innocence lost!

	I've been in a really weird mood lately. I blame the weather. It's January... isn't there supposed to be snow and stuff? I walked my dog in my sandals today. That's not normal January behavior! My taste in music isn't ordinary these days either. Normally this time of year I want to listen to energetic and uplifting tunes (to bring me out of the winter blues), but I've been listening to mellow, sappy, bedwetter songs. The weather needs to correct itself and start snowing before I get even more mixed up and start eating cereal for dinner and taking baths with my clothes on.

	I saw something crazy today: I was sitting on the subway this morning, watching these guys goofing around. They were like 16 years old or so, and one was hanging from the bar on the subway roof. Then, he took his lanyard & started hanging from that. He swung his legs up, hooked one foot above the poll, and before he could hook the other the lanyard broke. He fell, but his foot was still between the poll & the roof. "SNAP!". He fell to the floor and started screaming. I bet he broke his ankle. That's what you get for being a stupid jerk!

I made this for my brother's girlfriend Danielle. It's her & her brother when they were kids (dressed as cowfolk).

	When I grow up, I wanna be an artist.


Janurary's busted up barn. It'd be pretty cold right about now, what with the roof missing & such.

	We were sitting around in the editing room in A/V class in high school, just killing time while pretending to be working. Someone said "Dan, your fly is down". Everyone looked down at Dan's crotch, so everyone saw that not only was his fly down, but his weiner was sticking out. The best part was that he tried to act like it wasn't, which us laugh extra hard.


Wired Magazine recently did a diddy about "The 50 Best Robots Ever". Check it out here. It's a great selection, with Nintendo's "Robby the Robot" high on the list. Although... Tin man is on their list. Tin man wasn't a robot. He was just a man made of tin. I also came across a Pac Man Puppet Show, from 4colorrebellion.com.

Painting is easy when you don't know how, but very difficult when you do.

My Christmas card this year: The holidays were very busy, so it's nice to finally have some time to relax. I had 3 turkey dinners in the past week. I'm hopin to get some turkey soup happening with the leftovers. Turkey soup is a very artistic food. It's true. Picasso and Michaelangelo used to eat turkey soup together as they wrote 'Hamlet'. You should all eat 3 bowls of turkey soup a day, then maybe you could write 'Hamlet' too.

	OH, GOD! Every damn time I come here I see that stupid moustache! ENOUGH!


Today was moustache day I've been growing a beard for a few months, and I decided to shave it off. I thought it would be funny to shave it in a funny way and leave it like that for a day. I tossed a few ideas around, and decided the funniest way to shave it would be to leave a standard moustache. Now, without further adieu.... I practiced my "look" in the morning, and I was sure to make lots of eye contact with people all day long. I'm such a handsome little scamp.

When I was very young, maybe 3 or 4, my babysitter bought me a wind up bird that pecked at the ground. I thought it was SO cool, and I couldn't wait until my Mom got home so I could show it to her. When she came in, I ran up to hug her. I remembered the bird wasn't wound, so I started winding it. It got tangled up in her hair, and it wrecked the bird. I was very sad. The broken toy hung around for a while, and one day I decided to try and fix it. I failed. Many years later, I'd completely forgotten about the bird. I'm cleaning my room and in the bottom of a box I found a few of the bird's gears. The memories of the bird, and all the circumstances leading up to it's downfall came back to me, and I realized this was my earliest memory.
