  He was Awesome. RIP KJT

  I have said that I won't be writing a blog until September, but I have some things to get out of my chest. Today, I write with a still slightly heavy heart and not with the most pleasant mood, but I feel that it is imperative for me to write about this matter, so that whoever chances upon this and reads it will know just how exceptional Kyle Jordan T. was. Because he was that. Exceptional. Tell your friends.
  
  It has been raining all week. Not just from my eyes, but from the skies, too. When it wasn't raining, the sun was nowhere to be found either. It was like Nature was mourning the loss of an incredibly outstanding individual with us. I was unable to say any of the following this morning at Jordan's funeral. Words failed me when I needed them the most. You never really know how it feels like to lose someone close to you, until you've gone through the very difficult ordeal of burying him/her. When it was time for me to stand behind a podium and describe how truly great my friend, Jordan, was, I ended up with just three words. I was at a loss because I was unable to say good bye. When you part with a friend, you don't say bye for good, you only bid a farewell because you know you'll see each other again. But what if you know you'll never see each other? How do you say good bye? How do you say it to a friend you've had since you can remember? How do you say it without breaking your own heart?
  
  Kyle Jordan T. was born on May 24, 1990. He moved on to better things, unexpectedly, last Monday afternoon, June 29, 2009. It was almost a typical day for him. He woke up at 7 AM, went for a run, talked to friends over the phone, had lunch, lay on a hammock with his girlfriend, Sarah, played video games, and took a nap. The only difference was that he always woke up from those naps. Last Monday, he didn't. He passed away in his sleep. The autopsy reported that his heart just stopped beating. They call it sudden cardiac death (which occurs to people with heart disease and in some cases, to young athletes). The news of his passing was overwhelming and extremely shocking. He didn't have a history of medical problems. He was healthy and clean. I never imagined him going like that. Nobody did. Jordan leaves behind his mom and dad, his younger brother and sister, his girlfriend of six years, and all of us.
  
  Jordan was one of the constants in my life. We never lost touch even though we went to different schools after the second grade. We made sure to see each other at least once a week and we spoke over the phone every day to catch up with each other. I spoke with him over the phone that Monday morning. He asked me about my road trip. I asked him about things back at home. He said, "You'll know because you'll be home tomorrow." Jordan bought himself and all our friends tickets for the No Doubt concert last Tuesday. He had arranged for those who were away from home to be home that night. He spoke with my dad and scheduled my flight home, himself. He told me that he wanted all of us to be together that one night this summer. And we were. But not at the concert. We were all together at his memorial.
  
  I looked very poorly when I got home last Tuesday. My appearance was nowhere near the devastated shells that were his family, though. When I saw Sarah, my heart became heavier. If a heart can really break, Sarah's would be in pieces right now. Jordan treated Sarah like a princess and she loved him dearly for that. They were soul mates. They were together for a third of Jordan's life. It's severely unfair that they couldn't be together longer. They were going to work together this summer as councillors at a day camp. They both love to listen and work with kids. Jordan loved to travel and see new places and meet new people. He loved to sit around a bonfire and talk or go to a park and just lay on the grass. He was a shy person; quite sensitive. Sarah brought out the best in him. They were great together.
  
  I flew back home on Tuesday morning with my dad. I couldn't sleep the night before; I was too distraught over his fate. For someone to be taken at the prime of his life is simply unbelievable. It's harshly unfair and still all unreal. I took to writing on my journal everything I could remember about Jordan that night. My memories of him took two and half journals, even though I wrote small [What can I say? I'm just so emo. ]. I wrote about the first time we met when were four [He came into the cheese box when Mike and I were in there and we didn't know him, so we tried to bury him under the sand. He liked it; he was crying tears of joy. He came back the next day with a shovel. ], about the happiness that was tinged with slight petulance in his voice when he told me he was going to be a big brother when we were five [He wanted a baby sister, but when Aaron was born, he forgot that.], about the look of exhilaration when he beat me in chess when we were seven [Which he bragged about for years. ], about the utter joy in his voice and on his face when he told me he was going to have a baby sister when we were nine [He always got what he wanted anyway. ], about the grief on his face when he accidentally elbowed me in the eye during a basketball practice when we were ten [He felt so bad, he asked his mom to bake a cake for me every day for seven days. ], about the love struck look in his eyes when I introduced Sarah to him when we were twelve, about his caring nature when he refused to kill a spider when we were fourteen because, according to him, "Nobody on earth has the right to take another's life." [I said to him, "You're beautiful." And he said, "I know." ], about the his carefree attitude when we were practicing driving when we were sixteen [He maintained he didn't see me after almost running me over. ], about the surprise and gratefulness I felt for having a friend like him when he gave me Jaffa Cakes for my 18th birthday [He could have just gotten them from a store downtown, but he actually went to England to get them. ], about the excitement in his voice when we spoke over the phone last Monday, about our spontaneous trips to the beach [Even in winter. Who doesn't want to get hypothermia, right? ], about his good sense of right and wrong [He never wanted to drive over the speed limit, so sometimes I told him a higher (and very wrong) limit to make him drive faster. ], about the times he wore his favourite pink shirt with the writing "Be A Someone" on it, about the times he punched me in the groin for making too many jokes , and about a lot of other things. Man, I miss Jordan.
  
  Jordan was awesome. He was truly great. He wasn't obnoxious; he had a certain reserved quality about him. But once you got to know him, he was more talkative. The only time Jordan would be loud was on the court, or when he was playing any game. To fellow athletes, he was known on the court as J-timP the PimP. He was very competitive, but he wasn't domineering. He was very gracious about accepting defeat in games. He was a great example of dignity and strength. Jordan was a vivacious person, full of vigour and tenacity. We once talked about how we would like to pass. He said he wanted to go out having fun. I responded with one word. "Viagra." He said, "No. I'm not going to be that old. Live fast, die young. *with Ozzy Osbourne accent* Rock 'n' Roll!" Jordan wasn't the Rock 'n' Roll type, though. He was an old soul. He liked to listen to The Beatles, Paul Anka, Tom Jones, Eric Clapton, ABBA, Tony Orlando and Dawn, Conway Twitty, and Chubby Checker. He liked to sing "Let's Twist Again" in parties and when we did karaokes, he always sang "Wonderful Tonight" for Sarah. He also liked to sing "I Will Survive." He was calm and collected. He was relaxed and down to earth. He strived to be the best he could be in everything he tried to accomplish. He was kind, passionate, and caring. He was proud, but never arrogant. He was humble and giving. He was dedicated and heartening. He had always known what he wanted to do. He reached for his dreams and encouraged others to reach for their own. He had a passion for excellence, which I admire. He was a great friend; always there when you needed him. He was always a lending hand. He didn't pay attention to colour, orientation, or abilities. He was inclusive; he wanted everyone to belong. He didn't care for social hierarchy or any structure, really. He was an all around good guy. He was cool! He was always smiling and he was always able to put a smile on everyone's face. His smile was just too infectious. He was a glass half full. He was colourful. He was vibrant! He wasn't liked based on association. He was liked because he was a decent human being. He was academically excellent, an outstanding athlete, a great son, a supportive brother, a loving boyfriend, and a true friend. He will be deeply missed.
  
  Kyle Jordan T. passed away last Monday. There was a memorial for him last Tuesday, which was attended by almost three thousand people. That number goes to show how many lives he has touched with his own. A wake for him was held from Wednesday to Thursday. Today, we held a celebration of his life as he was laid to rest in peace. He did say he wanted to go out having fun, so we only played happy songs at his funeral. We also played "Remember The Name" by Fort Minor. A fitting song for the way he lived his life. His family took a jar and filled it with letters and other pieces of paper with written memories on it. Those of us who were supposed to go to the concert used the tickets and wrote our happiest memories of Jordan on it. The jar was buried with him. Gone, but will never be forgotten. He will always be in our hearts.
  
  You left us too soon, loser! I wasn't ready. But, life goes on. It needs to. The show must go on, right? And it will. Rest in sweet peace, Jordo! Don't worry about the things you won't get to do yourself. I'll take care of those for you. Let's twist again like we did last summer, eh, buddy? Let's twist again like we did last year! Save me a spot up there! I know the word 'love' isn't really enough, but it's the only one I know that exists that can express the magnitude of our friendship. LOVE you long time! Forever and a day, man! Cheers, Jordan!
  
  Only now as I'm typing this up do I realize that those three words were all I needed to describe Jordan. He was awesome. Tell your friends. Kyle Jordan T. was awesome. He was, indeed.

  Jordan with Sarah last January.
  I will, buddy! I promise!

  Last May. This time, I punched him in the groin for making too much jokes. Good times!

  He dressed up as a nerd for Halloween that year.

  Never too old for Santa's lap. I'm really going to miss Jordan.

  ~~~~~*****~~~~~*****~~~~~

  I must look very ragged. I didn't sleep much or eat much the past few days. My eyes are bloodshot from crying. I think I'm going to have to wear sunglasses for a while...until I can stop eating my feelings. I don't know how much more tears can come out of my eyes. I'm going to try to sleep after this. I'm flying back out to Saskatchewan tomorrow. I'm going to keep on going with my road trip. All this has made me see what's important in life. It's still unpredictable, apparently. You never know what's going to happen, so you have to keep on living to know. Life must go on. When there's still life to be lived, it must.
  
  Kyle -- OUT!

  Is This The Last One?

  I don't know, is it?

  Hola! How's it going, wonderful people of TV.com? I'm well, I well.
  
  Life has been very good. I've been enjoying my time out of school so far. I had this fun reunion with my friends last weekend and we've been hanging out a lot during the week. We also had a big Cinco de Mayo celebration. I never realized how much I like Mexican food until I almost gagged from eating too much tacos.
  
  Other than those two events, things have been really calm around here. There was the Grade 8 confirmation I volunteered for. I was in the choir...actually, I was THE choir. LOL It was only me singing and a guitarist accompanying me. That was loads of fun. Some of my friends and I went to Toronto for some shopping and some mild cavorting. No Bacchanalian cavorting, though. LOL Some shows had their season finales this week, so we had get-togethers for those. Scrubs' finale was really good! We watched Dollhouse last night and half-way through it, it started raining and then thunder and lightning came (not my dogs ). My satellite dish lost its signal, so we had to watch it on cable. We missed a minute of the show! For that, I won't be recommending DirectTV to any of my friends now. When the screen went black, Mike, Shayne, and I yelled at the same time.
  Me: Fudge!
  Mike: Aaaahhhh!
  Shayne: I want my mommy!
  *after a beat*
  Me: What?
  
  
  I've been hanging out at my friends' houses a lot. My parents have work and I don't have my own siblings to bond with, so I've adopted my friends' parents and siblings. One day I came over to help my friend, Michelle (Shayne's girlfriend), practise for her ballroom dance recital. We got inspired, so we kind of deviated from ballroom and just did breakdancing and other stuff. She has a dance studio in her basement...with a mirror wall! No Laura, no Shayne, just me and Michelle. It's amazing how much you can do in 25 minutes. Not that! Gosh! LOL Have you seen this? http://tinyurl.com/p3orxh

  I went to a midnight showing of Star Trek on Friday. It is awesome! Even if you're not a Trekkie, you will like it. J.J. Abrams is my new hero. LOL They cast Simon Pegg as Scotty! Simon Pegg is, like, my other hero. Just kidding. No, but seriously Star Trek is an A. Go see it! Then next Friday go see Angels & Demons because Tom Hanks is also my hero. And then next week, go see Terminator Salvation because, hello, Christian Bale! John Connor is Batman! Christian Bale can yell obscenities all he wants, but he'd still be awesome to me.

  Anyhoo, what else did I do yesterday? Ooh! I visited my high school yesterday. My OGF keeps running away from me. It's crazy, I should be the one running away from her. And I found out who the valedictorian is this year. It's my boy, Daniel! He was supposed to be the Student Council president, but because of this convoluted rule the principal set last year, he wasn't able to run for the position, so Hunter was elected, which I was happy about, even though I wanted Daniel to win. I was going to make that sentence longer, but I didn't want to confuse you. Daniel came over last night to get a copy of my valedictorian speech and we watched a video of me saying it. Man, I said a lot of things that weren't on my actual speech on paper. The principal must have hated me for that. Kidding!

Like your mom! LOL

  Friends: *lots of suggestions*
  Mike: Come do me.
  Me: Mike's idea is rather tempting...
  Laura: Go ahead. I'll find something to do with Ali. :p
  
  Kennedy: You're part Scottish, part British, part Dutch, and part French. You have blue eyes and blonde hair. Can you be more white?
  Me: Hey! Don't judge me. I'm Asian inside!
  
  Jamie: I'm not going to eat ham. I don't want swine flu.
  Kane: You won't get swine flu from ham. You'll get hamthrax!
  
  Lucas: Maybe.

  Lucas: Or.
  
  Jemmy: I want calf implants in the shape of Arnold schwarzenegger's face so that when I flex, his face would be visible under my skin.

  Me: Saying "that terrible Josh Hartnett film" does not uniquely refer.
  
  Me: You have something on your face.
  Sterling: *wipes face* Is it gone?
  Me: No, it's still there.

  Me: It's still there. What is that, adhesive chocolate?
  
  Emily: I hate it when you go to weddings and grandparents say "You're going to be next!" while pinching your cheeks.

  Drew: Outback Steakhouse is Australia's.
  Me: Dude, Outback Steakhouse is to Australia as Panda Express is to China or Taco Bell is to Mexico or Red Lobster is to the ocean.
  Drew: It's not Australia's?!
  Me: Did I shatter your fantasy?

  Dills: Awkward touches are my only human contact!

  Mike: He's on the heavy side.
  Me: He's of the wide variety.
  Shayne: He's fat.
  Me: Way to be delicate, buddy.
  
  Laura: I don't like the word penetrate. No matter what sentence you use it in, it always sounds dirty.
  Mike: Like, "The thread penetrated the needle's hole."
  Shayne: And "The rabbit penetrated it's den."
  Me: Oh, and "Your mom penetrated the oven with her delicious home made cookies."
  
  *after finishing Calculus exam*
  Me: I'm so done, turn me over!

  Me: I Herbal Essencesed your moms last night. One by one.
  
  Carly: Why are you so gloomy? Go find a rainbow!
  
  Pete: I like noises...especially the ones your mom makes.
  
  *awesome Trojan ad *
  To help America cope with these tough economic times, we put forth our own stimulus package. The Trojan Pleasure Pack. Because we believe we should ride out these hard times...together.
  
  Me: You mom winks with both eyes closed. So, really, it's more like a blink.

  Trevor: Trevor M. likes Spencer D.
  Robyn: Robyn B. likes Spencer B.
  Kyle: Kyle H. likes your moms.
  Shayne: Shayne H. likes Kyle H.'s mom.

  Laura: Laura T. LOVES Karen Y.
  
  *my buddy, Jed, had to go home to run some errands*
  Seawel: Where did Jed go?
  Will: He's giving birth to a baby pterodactyl.
  Me: I bet it'll sing.
  
  Me: Your spelling is like a left turn. It's not right.
  
  Brady: I don't like needy people and those that need reassurance all the time.
  Connor: Why?
  Brady: Because they're needy and they need reassurance all the time.
  Me: That makes so much sense, it's crazy.
  
  *after watching an American Justice episode on TV*
  Me: Putting women to sleep with drugs, sticking things into their mouths, then leaving them to wake up alone, disoriented, and slightly aching...I didn't realize I was a dentist, too.
  
  Abbie: Some man at the grocery winked at me and called me sexy. I felt like puking.
  Mitch: Hey! It's not my fault. It's an involuntary twitch.
  Abbie: Calling someone sexy is an involuntary twitch?
  Mitch: Don't judge my disorder.
  
  Me: Gracious! A belly with a person behind it just walked in front of me.
  
  Me: Obama should consider your mom as an economic stimulus package. Or just a stimulus package because, dude, your mom is hot.
  Laura: Thanks. I'll tell her that.
  
  Me: Your mom is like Geico. So easy, a caveman can do her.
  
  Me: Shenanigans, monkey business, tomfoolery...whatever you wanna call it, this summer will be overwhelmingly whimsical.
  
  
  
  So, this is it. After reading this blog, do you feel like your mom? Satisfied, yet still yearning for more? Kidding!
  
  All the best to you wonderful people!
  
  Kyle -- OUT!

  School's Out for the Spring!

  Whoooooooooooooooooooooo...ooooooooooooooooooo! I'm out of school until September! Yay! Don't you just hate me right now? LOL Kidding! I'm glad school is done. One thing at the end of the school year left a sour taste in my mouth, though. I had this Design Showcase for Engineering, so I missed handing in a Physics assignment. And for that I got a 0. I have never gotten a 0 in my life! It's deeply upsetting. It's especially discouraging considering the only reason I got 0 on the assignment is because I put my first school priority...first. I was faulted because I placed the higher regard on the more important event. You know what? F the world! I'm going back to hell! Kidding!
  
  Guess what? All my friends who went away for school are back! I've missed them; I haven't seen some of them since New Year's, so it's really great that we're all together again. Then we're going to be tired of each other's faces by the end of the weekend, that we'll wish we didn't see each other again. I'm kidding! Ooh! And guess what again? My hair is longer! Holla! LOL After I got my hair cut, I've been spiking my hair up towards the middle for a faux-hawk kind of look, then it grew so I just spiked it up in different directions, then it grew longer so I combed my hair so that I looked like a teenager from the 1950's , but now my hair's longer so I've just been leaving it down. My man-bangs are coming back. Holla! LOL

  I have some good news! Remember my buddy who got married, Chris? Well, his parents wanted the marriage to be annulled at the beginning. They were all, "You're ruining your life. You're disregarding your family and it is unacceptable." That's really what they said. I know because I was there...eating muffins in their kitchen. What? It wasn't just me. Chris wanted friends over for support. And we would have been behind him all the way...had his wonderful mom not stared us down and made us go into the kitchen. Anyway, now they don't want Chris and Angela (whom I have finally met and she is adorable!) to separate. Now they're pushing for a second union, a traditional wedding. So, Yay! It turns out that Angela's family owns a sugar plantation in the Caribbean. But that's not the reason Chris's parents want them to stay together; they just want Chris to be happy. Although, I did hear them say the word "investment" once. I'm just kidding! They just want Chris to be happy. Angela's parents are flying in from Mexico next week. They're going to celebrate Cinco de Mayo over here. And, no, they're not going to bring the swine flu with them.
  
  Last Wednesday was the last day of exams, which I am very happy about because Wednesday is Hump Day. You know what I mean? LOL I'm a very happy boy right now. I didn't see Laura a lot during the exams. I told her to not sit near me during exams because she was a distraction dressed in summer dresses. But since exams are over now, I welcome the distraction with open arms. Last Wednesday, we went to pick up the birthday gift Mike's parents got for me - a 2009 Harley-Davidson Nightster! It's a really great bike, I love it! My parents told me I could have it as long as I promise not to die. LOL Which means no riding it at night. It's okay, I can do my cruising during the day...then just come back at night to do evil deeds. Kidding!
  
  Yesterday was moving day. University residences are for first year students only, so I had vacate my Unirez and move all my things to my apartment. I spent the my first night in my apartment last night! My apartment is more like a townhouse, really. It has 3 floors, a spacious living room, dining area, and kitchen in the first floor, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom in the second floor, and a master bedroom and bathroom in the third floor. It's really nice! My Unirez buddies, Mark, Jacob, and Steve, along with my buddy, Ryland, got a house together a block away from my apartment, so we'll see each other all the time next school year. Speaking of next school year, my sister, Kaitlyn, and her boyfriend, Jeff, are transferring to my university. Yay! They said something along the lines of their univesity "sucking" so they're leaving. LOL
  
  Anyhoos, this weekend is busy. I have to go to this opening gala for this charity tomorrow night to represent my dad, who will be in another business function. I get to use one of those big scissors to cut a ribbon and stuff. Awesome! I have tennis in the morning, then maybe golf in the afternoon, and then the gala at night. Then on Sunday is the smorgasbord of fun with my friends! Next week will be slack; just hanging out with friends and some meetings with some of my dad's associates. The week after that, I'll be in California, then Florida for a week, then New York for another week. And then road trip!
  
  I may not blog a lot in the next few weeks. If I don't blog again and it's already June, then I won't be blogging until September...or ever. I don't know. Things will be different in September. I'm not playing university football anymore (even though the coach really wanted me to stay. I was the Rookie of the Year, by the way). And basketball season doesn't start until November, so I will have some free time, but my dad is thinking of making me useful and giving me a job at the firm. We'll see.
  
  TV Talk:
  The Simpsons and Family Guy were good last Sunday. Lauren Conrad will be guest starring on FG this weekend. I'm actually excited. LOL
  Gossip Girl last Monday was a lot better than previous episodes. Why does Gabriel talk like he has a collection of saliva in his throat. I barely understood what he was saying. The actor doesn't talk like that in Reaper; it was kind of irksome. Best part of the episode: Georgina and her journey to Jesus.
  Chuck was Awesome! 'Nuff said.
  Heroes' season finale was good. I've got to say, though, that at the beginning, I found Hiro's need to be the hero endearing, but now it's quite annoying. Sylar's transformation into Nathan is very intriguing. I hope the next season will be up to par to Season 3.
  The Big Bang Theory was good, too. Sheldon was hilarious as always. Best part: "E.M. Snickering - There was a tall man from Cornwall, whose length exceeded his bed. My body fits on it, but barely upon it. There's no room for my big Cornish head."
  How I Met Your Mother was okay. When is Lily coming back? Her disappearance is making Marshall want to do it with Ted. LOL
  Castle was good. I hope this show gets renewed. It's getting better and better.
  Fringe was great! People died in this episode gruesomely, so it's good, right, Ivy? The killer reminded me of Alexis Bledel and her blue eyes in Sin City!
  Reaper was good-ish. Sock's dream was great! And the Devil is always awesome. LOL
  90210 was okay. It was funny how Naomi was bossing the Wilson family, though. I'm still confused about Ethan leaving the show. How one-dimensional can a character be, if it has "run its course" after just one season? But, hey, there are still 3 more episodes. Ethan could have 5 more relationships. At least he'd go out with a bang. Kidding!
  Lie to Me was good. Rogue agents in the FBI are scary. But that doesn't really have an effect on me. We just have mounties over here. LOL
  Bones was between good and great. Booth is a good brother; I wish I had him. Kidding. I like the morale of this episode. You have to bad to be good. True that! How can you learn if you don't make mistakes, right?
  The Office was good. Meredith's casual Friday attire was hilarious!
  30 Rock was okay. It was full of "Twist!"s. LOL
  Smallville was okay, as well. I'm getting tired of Clark's stubborness. He goes on about "the greater good" but he refuses to eliminate the force that could eliminate all that is good. I hope Superman becomes super soon, otherwise...nothing.

  Southland was good. This show is revealing the flaws in the system, I like it!
  Parks and Recreation was really good. Leslie Knope and dog poo fights! Whoo! LOL
  Harper's Island was good. The little girl saying, "One by one," is kind of creepy. LOL And what did I say? The fat one always bring the trouble. The fat one is always to blame! Kidding! I cannot believe it's moved to Saturdays! I'm outraged! Not really, it's cool. LOL
  
  Ghost Whisperer and Dollhouse tonight!
  
  I'm so stoked for May! I'm like a fan boy on a high right now. LOL Kidding! I'm going to see X-Men Origins Wolverine later today. Then Star Trek next week, then Angels & Demons the week after, and then Terminator Salvation the week after. Are you going to see any of these movies? How about other upcoming movies?
  
  Hope you all have a great weekend! I'll catch up with your blogs this weekend!
  
  Thought of the day: "Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination." -- Voltaire
  
  Joke of the Day: A blonde watching the news hears that 2 Brazilian men died from the swine flu. She cries and sobs, "Oh, my God! How many is a brazilian?"
  
  Picture of the day: Last weekend, this bumbizzle tried to sting me, so I thought I'd get back at it by blinding it with the flash from my camera. The sun was really bright, though, so the flash didn't really have an effect on it.

  
  
  
  Kyle -- OUT!
