Darren Elliott 2.0, beat that 1.5

Ive never posted anything about what i now know how my old self would be an old version of me, so the one who couldnt wake up for work on time would be the 1.5 of me.

Comparing 1.5 to 2.0
15.1981-2005
2.2005-present

The 1.5 listened to u2, couldnt live without a certain girl whos name i must not mention, lets say voldemort its kinda like that and couldnt stop being mad at bees. The 1.5 dreamed of the world ending because he feels no one love him, no really love him like other people. The 1.5 always was sad. The 1.5 had issues with life and everything bothered him. 1.5 lost hope of meeting bono, and voldemort aka the girl i must never mention. The 1.5 of me wouldnt think of having breakfast because i was normally out the door 5 minutes to or maybe 10 minutes or so after 11am. The 1.5 had a resume done by his sister because he didnt understand how it was to be done. Never added his own things to it. The 1.5 always said he was from st marys ontario, but never lived there. The 1.5 loved to dance and thoubght his dancing was good. The 1.5 had a lot of bad bikes that wouldnt get close to anything to what 2.0 has now and 2.0 isnt as good as any kona, or any bike anyone around banff has. Both 1.5 and 2.0 cant bike, on his minelli, but likes to bike around town and cant even get over a curb has to get off and walk the bike and then get on again but knows its not going to hurt him. compared to all the other better bikers in town 1.5 and 2.0 sucks and doesnt know the right way to switch gears correctly years to make it to Tour de France: 1,000000 years.
1.5 and 2.0 are both suckers at biking. Pretty much 2.0 is just a person upgrade he still sucks at everything.


The 2.0 update allows for more time to get up and have breakfast which is good for me. Now im leaving by 1045am and getting there in enough time to think about what ive got to do for a while.The 2.0 listens to pretty much everything like bright eyes, coldplay, collective soul. The 2.0 actually started in 2005 because everything i was used to fell away. The 2.0 is now always happy. The 2.0 has fixed all of his prior problems. The resume 2.0 is working on is his own work, adding the other things that maybe we lied about.The 2.0 is from a place he always dreamed about it, and the girl from the past wants to kick him out.The 2.0 doesnt like dancing.2.0 loves his bike but knows that all he is known it as a canadian tire special or something like that.

This is all i have about the change. will add more later

what happened the other night and update

 
Hello everyone who has ever been reading my blog, like as if anyone is.A weird thing happened on friday/ saturday and 12:10 am or so. i was hanging out at the internet cafe. and all of a sudden the lights just flickered on and off for a second and i thought that maybe the fuse box  was acting up or something then i walked  upstairs to check out if it was just the internet cafe or if it was the  whole town and im sure my first idea as i looked on was total shock, the whole town was out of power, from the entrance way into banff to the bridge was about as dark as the night was. So i thought about leaving but i thought it would be nice if i walked out of here together so i waited for him to finish up.
 
I walked to my sisters house not my home in the fricken dark, not any lights on, so it was weird, i've never seen banff like that.
 
My life, yes i thought id get to this, my singer songwriter thing is going nowhere. So is my normal life, i know people have said "she's not here." sheesh, did i start rubbing my head for nothing, its because  i keep seeing the past in brief moments in my head, you know how someone says try seeing things in a mental picture that what i'm seeing, but don't get me wrong i don't want her. I came here to move on with my life. And i was having the best time being here. 2005 was the best year too, sally borden every other day, walk through the rain, and sit by the river and reflect,  but now i feel like i don't belong here any more.
 
she showed up in banff sometime in 2006 because before all this i felt fine and over the stuff i took a long time to get over. Then the bono stuff started, i started hearing bono's  voice in my head. I fell for everything he was telling me, and i don't believe he would ever come to such a crappy town like this. The last time i was in hospital in i was going crazy, i knew he wasn't here in my heart but i thought he was, I must have been on crack or something i had conjured up a theory about the end of the world, i must have had a bad dream one of the nights because i saw my sister sitting beside me and i'm like i cant fucking believe it i thought everyone was dead, clearly i must have been on crack or something.
 
This thing about the hating bono or the facebook group called i still hate bono and his fucking face" its not meant to mean we want to kill him, its just a bunch of previous u2 fans turning the table. I came up with this idea that u2 or rock bands should have a draft like the NHL, so that any musicians that need bono for their band, like rolling stones  so that when mick jagger dies bono can fill in. I think it would work perfectly. This problem i have is not a u2 problem its a bono probrem. get rid of him any way other than killing and you recieve a bonus. its a good way anyways.
 
I love how at every show he was at, during sometimes you cant make it on your own during the vertigo tour, hed say "this is for my father bob" well i could one up him and say "well this is the my why bother? fob" the only problem is id have to find a key chain fob that says in big letters "why bother" on it. haha bono youre going down.!!

enjoy my update and clearing of my head!!

on life love and the other stuff

something i havent talked about in ages because i didnt believe in love, i thought i was never going to be in love/married etc. but now i have met a few people and had a few crushes. I dont want to talk about it much but i like this girl who works at safeway. Word has gone around that i really like her. Now im not gonna start blogging about her but it needs to end. I mean what i keep doing metaphorically is closing doors on people for some reason. i mean ive had chances in the past.with that girl from high school, waited untill the last minute to make my move to be shot down again and again.

Now i know that this thing with the ... doesnt really matter, i really like her, we talk alot i compliment her and she does too but i feel like i started off on the wrong foot. Id like to still be her friend period. I also like other girls at safeway but im not shy too much these days but around women i get shy and i feel as if i have to get to know them to talk to them.

i have to stop closing doors on people, but i cant stop doing it..

my .50 cents.

im going to have to figure out what i really want. this is something i can only decide.

Every photo tells a story, some more than others

i recently took a look back at my photos on facebook just to pass the time and one photo album i had almost forgotten about called bow river overflow. Back last june or july our town of nearly 8000 + or so people had something weird but yet beautiful at the same time. The majestic bow river that flows through banff and calgary and on to hudson bay overflowed. It didnt claim any lives but it kept people far from the river..

source: http://www.riverwatch.ab.ca/rivertalk/viewreplies.cfm?topic_id=48

I only took 2-5 photos...






This photo just amazes me, what big a river we now have and whats the effects of the flooding that happened whatif i wwas playing guitar down by the river and accidentally got pushed off the bench because fot the strong current after this happened. I was just shocked to see this happen, its not every day that people see this sort of thing happen in their lives..





This photo just scares me, what if, when this happened someone like me was on it and got washed away...its not the bench that speaks to me its how high and fast the might bow is. I mena look at it its almost at seat height. It is dangersous but would have sounded cool to think about just sitting there with the fast water flowing over your legs....youd really have to hold on..






the others i took arent so as impressive as these are...but ill upload them anyways...maybe you can give me a comment as to what you think the others make you feel or see or whatever..or you could take them and photochop them and do things with them.

thats a river worth rafting down, if it werent so dangerous it would be fun...be something instead of taking pictures to experience the bow falls..

again take your time and think of what you think of when looking at these pics...this photo was used to prove how fast and how strong the river was...i recorded a video of how fast it was moving..NEXT

............whatever floats your boat....or finds youre lost remote...

???!!!???

in addition to these i took a short video..seen below

I don't know where my life has gone, i'm just turning into a twit. I'm so far behind on my planning for the trip to ireland that i may just go to ireland instead of the other 2 places. but i may not even have enough to make it there so im not sure whats going to happen
 
Just heard the new song by u2 sung about an irish singer, well done bono. Just stop sending me ilike videos of u2...if i want to see u2 videos i can find them on youtube or good ones on u2.com
 
So im off to go home..clean my place up...

recurring attack dreams

hello people, like 2 people that read this, here i am going to talk about a common theme here about attack dreams ive had before.

this morning i woke up with a resounding dark deep feeling ponder whats the next animal or insect im going to be attacked by in a dream. currently here are the animals ive been attacked by in dreams, get prepared to laugh

bears (4+ times)
sharks (1)
cougars(2 to 3 times)
bees(500+ times)
whales(1 time)
belugas(1 time)
dolphins(1 time) (i find this quite funny cause dolphins are harmless)
piranhas(here and there)

ater lay

i have to take back the town

heres the problem i facing..
 
i moved here 2 and a half years ago, to turn over a new leaf, it takes you know who 30 seconds to make my life miserable, i felt like my lifes dignity i was working to get back was stolen within 15 minutes of me being here 2 abd 1/2 years latet i hate my life but i cant just sit back and let time go by..
 
to sum up what ive been talking about here im the america after 911 if i sit back and watch my life will crumble before me she is the terrorism im the rest of the world, im trying to get back to town and enjoy what i used to do..
 
 
i want her to leave me alone!!!

i admit that in the past i had written about you know who. Blatently using her name instead of something like "you know who or "that girl" i just went through and removed those posts...i dont want to hear her name ever again...

when you forget you wrote them..

so im googling myself the other day...i try to see what other shit it has found...

but for ages ive been searching for this song i wrote around 2002-2003 or so...

if anyone has an mp3 of it id love it..

Ballad
i went out west and wasn't worried
but when i landed back home
i felt so sad
and i felt so mad
that i was home
and only a short time away
from a girl
that i waited 4 years to say
Hi,Hi

but i dont have that chance anymore
im walking right out the door
to this life that im living
it makes me want to quit it
i dont know what im saying,
its this dumb song im playing
the same 3 chords all the time
but i dont feel this way all the time
im waiting for someone
to share this instant romance
someone who shares interests
and really likes to dance
but im stuck here all alone
no one has called me on the phone
no one knows that i exist
its something that i miss?
(c)2003


and also i have a few old ones i found on cbc radio 3. search darren elliott.. the alone isnt ild or not being found so the other one is...i want to put it on the soundclick site

all my old cadet mates... on facebook

Back before the guitar, before the living in banff there was the cadets. small squad of about 400 people (may not be exact) there were a lot of people i had almost forgotten.. by the time i had finished the cadet regime there were a lot of people that were better destined than me. most of them are either mothers, fighting in afghanistan or doing something military related..

its just amazing how many people are still around...and now they all take a look around on facebook and our group for alumini or cadets from 19th squadron air cadets stratford, Ontario.

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=2232694836

enjoy...dont join unless you were once one...

almost there but a long way to go..

well im working on finishing the goblet of fire, im on chapter nineteen in the book, right about the time that harry gets chosen for the triwiard tournament. At the moment his friends hermione and ron seem to not be much of his friends now that he was mistakenly added to the tournament.
 
I havent wanted to put this book down...man i reccomend to all of you who have a urning for harry potter to read this one...so cool..
