Just a few blocks away from yesterday’s post – I was trying to see if I could get around to the dammed (damned!) up water that was gushing through on the other side. Sadly I couldn’t find my way through – maybe a wrong turn – but I didn’t get close to any action.
Pictured, is the Candian War Museum, home of one of the worst websites ever. It’s like a geocities or angelfire free-site, put together with frames and supported by free ads. It’s proof enough for me that socialism does not work, and pure capitalist funding is what’s needed – in an attempt to find the American […]
A much delayed post today – didn’t really have anything to post off my laptop, so I had to go on a roam to get a few shots. It was cold in Ottawa, but that didn’t stop me from a 3 hour hike, up into Hull (Quebec) and up the Ottawa River and back, safely […]
Yard cleaning has been made difficult this year. See, usually things happen progressively – the seasons change – Leaves fall from trees, people rake leaves, snow falls = winter joy. This year, the snow fell, leaves fell on top of that, more snow came, iced over, and all I’ve got are a bunch of frozen […]
Coffee Time is the Canadian equivalent of Dunkin’ Donuts – kinda crap coffee, large, but a bit too fried donuts. Though I will give them credit on this; their apple fritters still have real apples in them.
There are some days that you can’t get out of bed – no matter how much you want to.
Barb’s one of the most supportive co-workers I’ve ever had, she’s compassionate, enthusiastic, fun, and hard working. That’s why she was the best choice to be the president of the JVL Facebook Fanclub – I didn’t start it – but any narcissistic self-glorifying virtual edifice to which the masses may congregate is endorsed fully by […]
Like this one from last month only worse. That’s an Italian Sausage, ground beef (leftover from burrito night) medley topped with a generous heaping of Western Creamery Sour Cream; beside three fried eggs – in case you were wondering. Special birthday wishes to Janet, Rainbow, and, of course, my mom.
I went shopping for work clothes yesterday at the dreaded Mall. Work-buddy Sandra came to help me out, because I believe I am technically retarded at dressing myself.She made me try different things on, different styles, and actually made me “think” about my puchase. She did her best to help colour match ties to shirts […]
I’ll tell you this; if you leave me a crappy Santa Votive in a swap box, I’ll swap you back something of equivalent value – like a kick to the teeth, or… a moldy grape.
Going through my Iceland photos I realize that I wish I hadn’t under exposed EVERYTHING. It really is a pity – it was mostly overcast during the trip and I typically underexpose by a third of a stop anyways – so everything was just dark and moody – like me, or Marilyn Manson.
I could just post pictures of my toys all winter, though I’d certainly want to get a macro lens if I was going to continue on this concept uninspired style. Of course, I’ve seen it done much better before.

I suppose on day’s you’ve been at work for 12 hours, haven’t seen the sun, and the sky pelted ice in your face as you walked into the world at 5:30AM you’re allowed to archive dig a bit. I figure a photo from Iceland (sans ice) would be appropriate. Iceland A land of less ice… […]
Yeah, so Jann Arden Stopped by work yesterday to promote One Night Live – no biggie.
One thing you might not want to do when travelling is have a late-night stopover in Bellville – not much going on. Oh, and as a peep, and if you’re into adult contemporary music… AND if you’re in Toronto on February 28th, you can check out One Night Live.
Eda (pictured) and I were both in our High School production of Rocky Horror Picture Show – I was her Brad, and she, my Janet… Dammit.
I’ve been posting a lot of Black and White’s lately, which is probably the result of two things: 1 a black and white photo, IMHO, can save a normally uninteresting photo (or a poor quality one); digital noise, poor exposure etc.The other reason could be that the colours are just dull right now, I’m not […]
I’m not sure if you’ll ever be able to find me inverted on public transport. Kicking back and relaxing really isn’t my idea of a good time when pretty much anyone could puke on me or touch me in special places without warning. I have fallen asleep on the bus, but I do so in […]
AWK-WARD!
I never slip, I never fall, A lot of hoes give me they numbers but I never call A real O.G. look at V.I.P. and see a nigga ball Then after we hit the club baby then I’m gonna hit them draws I’m gonna break you off (and that’s all) Every freak should have a […]
My pants don’t fit me anymore, maybe they never did – I’m not very good at picking out my own clothes. They’re either too short, don’t fit my butt, too tight (not as often), maybe my package will be showing at the front [Read: because it’s impressive]. Luckily my lady helps me pick them out […]
