Why can’t life be easy?
Just once in a while?
Like now?
OK, quick recap: Started a biz with 2 other guys back around November. One guy’s great, the other… let’s just say my bull$#!t detector was red-lining. But I’m willing to give him a chance. Naturally, everything hinges on him. Recap over.
After a [...]

Here’s my new $12 Palm Pilot. Implementing an idea from productivity uber-site 43 Folders, I put together my Hipster PDA. Index cards and a binder clip. “There is no step three”.
I need help. I need some organization, some framework to work with. I, like many people, simply [...]

I’ve been trying to find a good place in Toronto to host movie nights. I’ve got a decent movie collection, and access to a whole ton more. Foreign, indie, weird underground cult stuff, just not mainstream. I love to host and entertain, I just don’t have the space or resources to do [...]

Watching TV. Warren Miller. I wanna go snowboarding.
Hear cool song. Like it. Want it.
Google.
Don’t know the name or the artist. Search for what I hope was a bit of the chorus.

I was really looking forward to feeling bad today.
I was ready to wallow in self-pity like a pig in filth. ooo baby I wanted it.
I went out of my way, purposely not telling anyone it was my birthday, just to make SURE that I would have a wonderfully cliche reason to sulk and pout.

So please, hit refresh to make sure you’ve got what I hope you do, and take a look around. I’m [...]

The first (and still only) time I can remember falling deeply, passionately, madly in love with a fictional character was Leeloo from The Fifth Element.
a.k.a. Milla Jovovich.
Now I think Ms. Jovovich is incredibly beautiful, gorgeous, unique woman. She’s been on my “list” since Return to the Blue Lagoon. I already [...]

Nearly everyone I visited back in Edmonton had cats. Not a negative comment at all, I’ve grown up with dogs primarly (and a rabbit!), but I pretty much love any animal that isn’t actively trying to eat my family. I just found it interesting. When I was going [...]

Heh, ok, so I know I’ve been whining about being depressed lately, but thankfully all that is over, because Happiness is for sale on eBay! Thank goodness for those Google Adwords… now I’ll never be unhappy again.
Sunshine, lollipops, and rainbows everywhere…

OK, I know I’ve written about this particular masterpiece before… but since I watched it three times over the holidays so I could introduce it to various friends and family, I figured it was worth mentioning again. Besides, it was still the best movie I saw while away. It should [...]
