This Road
2007-09-02 01:38:00 My head was pounding and it took me quite a few seconds to focus and get accustomed to the morning brightness, as I lay in bed Saturday morning. I glanced over at my clock and it was displaying 12:05. Ok, damn, I guess it is 'technically' Saturday afternoon. What a night! Well the parts I remember, anyway. There seems to be a few gaps in my memory but I am sure those will fill in as this More About: Road
Auld Lang Syne
2007-08-25 21:26:00 So now after finally sobering up and carefully considering this surprising job opportunity that was offered to me, I have obviously chosen to accept it. I am off to London, England in just under two weeks (or whenever the paperwork is completed) to take over the new and exciting position I mentioned last week. I am now kind of surprised at myself for not jumping at the offer the very minute it
London Town
2007-08-18 03:30:00 It was Friday night and as Maria, our waitress, placed four pints and four shooters in front of us, I quickly ordered yet another round for all of us. "Keep them coming, Maria." I ordered. "Tonight me and the gang are celebrating." I paid Maria for the round (including a generous tip - one must always remember such formalities) and she headed back to the bar to collect the next round for More About: London , Town
Nowhere Man
2007-08-11 01:36:00 "Kick him in the ribs, Boy." Dad ordered. "That will wake him up for sure." We had been away for only an hour or so, and we returned to find a homeless guy sound asleep in my Dad's garage curled up on a pile of old clothes destined for the church rummage sale later today. It was the annual church 'Clothes and Bottle drive' and my Mom is very involved in all of their activities.
Bridge Over Troubled Water
2007-08-04 01:49:00 What a bunch of suckers! I knew it all along. Not for sure mind you, but I have definitely always had my suspicions. Of course I am talking about the revelation that the largest water bottling company Aquafina, announced last week that the water inside their fancy bottles come from the exact same source as tap water comes from. There is also continued ongoing pressure being placed on many More About: Water , Troubled , Bridge , Bled
It's Different for Girls
2007-07-28 03:08:00 So I successfully 'freaked out' my sister and enraged my parents this past week without even really meaning to do so. I routinely make it my personal pastime & hobby to make my stupid sisters life as difficult as possible, not because I dislike her, but more so out of habit. She makes my life a living Hell whenever she sees fit and I in turn, do the same to her. We have both done this to one More About: Girls , Diff
You Never Give Me Your Money
2007-07-20 23:28:00 OK, I think I may be getting a little soft as I get older. I am downtown after a nice lunch with some former coworkers and encounter 'homeless buddy' at the bus stop. Buddy is sitting there on the ground cross-legged, propped up against the building wall. His eyes appear rather glazed over and he has a small handwritten cardboard sign in front of him saying "Spare some Change to help a Friend" More About: Money , Give
Wouldn't It Be Good
2007-07-15 00:27:00 I have a bit of catching up to do. This is something I hope to do gradually over the next few weeks. The below happened in early June, prior to the birth of my new niece. We were all over at Mom and Dad's place for a Sunday evening dinner. It was myself, my pregnant sister and her husband Doug, my nephew Mikey and of course Mom and Dad. Just for the record, my sister is huge. Enormous, the More About: Good
Coming Up
2007-07-08 06:52:00 I really need to start writing once again. Not only to cope and detail the dealings in my own family life (we already know how nuts that can be), but to also address the other many current events going on. I mean...Poor Paris being in prison, Dear Britney going all totally nuts and Punker Avril stealing everyones shit.....it is like a 'field day' to be writing. All this crap combined with More About: Ming
Best of...
2007-05-19 03:24:00 You know these days, my life is so incredibly dull, I am even boring myself. That may explain to some degree why I haven't been posting too much. My motto has always been "If you have nothing to say, it is best to say nothing." So in other words, I dont want to post an entry just for the sake of posting. There is enough of that kind of crap on the net these days anyway. For those few readers
No Reply at All
2007-02-02 20:43:00 Well it looks like I'll be taking a break from my weekly postings here for a little while. Apparently part of my new responsibilities of my job is to spend time coordinating with my counterparts in the other regional offices located in Toronto and Montreal. Of course back in November when my company was talking about 'redundant positions', 'right-sizing' and all those other ridiculous
Talk Dirty To Me
2007-01-27 00:37:00 The famous writer and playwright Thorton Wilder said it best with the phrase: "There's nothing like eavesdropping to show you that the world outside your head is different from the world inside your head" Now before you quit reading & start to think that I am simply filling my weekly entries with boring random quotations from dead American writers, let me assure you that that nothing could be More About: Talk , Dirty
Someday
2007-01-20 01:15:00 It was definitely him all right. I would recognize those small beady eyes and huge buck teeth anywhere, neither age nor the many years that have past could hide his ridiculous features. I was observing the movements of one Graham Crenshaw, a little weasel I had known about twenty years ago who got me in a lot of trouble back then and I had vowed that very memorable day that I would get even and More About: Some
Black Or White
2007-01-13 02:23:00 This unseasonably mild winter that we've been experiencing here in Calgary has resulted in a number of people being able to still enjoy the outdoors even though we are now into January, normally a month known for its snow and cold. Unfortunately, it has not been entirely pleasant for everyone. As I sat in my parents kitchen after having lunch this past Sunday, I heard Mom in no uncertain terms, More About: White , Black , Lack
No Time
2007-01-06 07:54:00 What a !@!@&^*@ farce! The TIME magazine person of the year from their December 25, 2006 issue is "You". WTF! I mean no offence, but come on. These guys can't really be serious. Did the so-called writers of this magazine put any thought into this award at all this year, because I am kind of guessing that they really didn't. Their cover story naming 'You' the person of the year is More About: Time
Christmas Day
2006-12-29 20:21:00 So this was definitely going to be my best Christmas ever. Not only had I found the perfect gift for my parents, as an extra bonus I am going to upstage my idiotic sister & her stupid gift at the same time. Things are going to be pretty sweet. I mean, I know we are both grown adults and at a stage in our lives where childish rivalries should be long forgotten, however one would never know it More About: S Day , Christmas Day
Is She Really Going out with Him
2006-12-23 00:07:00 One of my favourite times of the year is now finally upon us, that being the Xmas Party season. I survived the first of these Christmas parties this past Saturday, and it was definitely no easy accomplishment. Usually everyone I know that have these Xmas parties recommend that all their guests either stay over or bring a designated driver if they plan on consuming copious amounts of liquor, More About: Ally , Going , Goin
I'm so Tired
2006-12-16 21:44:00 Well I returned home on Thursday evening, happy to see the end of weeks of meetings and even happier to know that I still have a job. My good mood ended shortly after arriving at my so-called 'renovated apartment' to find that although I had new flooring, painting and cabinets throughout, all of my furniture was stacked in the corner of each room, apparently just waiting for me to return in More About: So Tired , Tired , Tire
The Fortnight Saga
2006-12-02 01:00:00 No wonder the stupid company I work for is not making enough money this year. They are wasting huge dollars on these meetings I am attending and it really appears like they are never going to come to an end. Once again we all flew out on Sunday evening to arrive in Toronto for Week Two of what they are calling "Operational Fine Tuning" sessions which pretty much refers to long daily workshops More About: The Fort , Saga
Phasers on Stun
2006-11-25 00:59:00 After four full long days of endless business meetings & some pretty crappy hotel food, I was quite excited to head back home to Calgary, albeit only for this weekend as I am expected to return to Toronto again next week for more of the same. Arriving at the airport rather early, I immediately check in my bags and wandered around for a bit, waiting for my flight to be announced. Now this is More About: Hase
Superstition
2006-11-18 01:12:00 Throughout my life I have always had a somewhat rocky relationship with the ham sandwich. Now to the average reader that may be perceived as a rather outlandish statement since you are all probably thinking "What possible damage can a poor innocent ham sandwich do to a person?" Well let me tell you, in looking back over my life I have now come to realize that this so called 'innocent' ham More About: Superstition
Doctor My Eyes
2006-11-11 01:27:00 The company where I am employed, as with many other high profile corporations, likes to be involved in a number of charitable events and programs throughout the year in order to give something back to the community in which they operate. One of the largest recipients of our corporate donations is the United Way of Canada, which is an organization that is involved with numerous worthwhile More About: Eyes , Doctor
Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad
2006-11-04 01:38:00 I have been wanting to write up a short report card and poll on the three major Blog traffic exchange services for the past few weeks however, once I sit down in front of my computer, I tend to start writing about the frequently insane goings-on in my life instead of my intended topic. This week I actually was able to stay focused and complete this project which I will share with you below and
Hello Goodbye
2006-10-28 00:34:00 The most boring & uninteresting posts that I encounter while I am surfing the 'blogosphere' are those entries people write where they are talking about their own blog as the sole subject matter. You know the ones I mean like "I modified my sidebar column width by 1 mm today, hope you all like it." or the ones that assume you are totally blind by announcing "I changed my entire layout, did you More About: Goodbye
Savoy Truffle
2006-10-21 01:15:00 So this past Saturday afternoon I am with my buddy John and we are picking up a couple of T-bone steaks and some Guinness to head over to Kevin and Samantha's house for a early evening barbeque and followed by a night out on the town boozing & carousing.This was once a regular thing for all of us on a Saturday however lately it definitely seems harder and harder to get the group together.As I |
