Ooooh, choices, paths to take; will one bring you happiness? The other – DOOM!?
I know people want to keep things – I understand the compulsion to not give up on items you once paid good cash-money for. But broke down, deflated tired, rust heaps of cars are one of those things you should not include on your “things to keep” list. There’s a dude on my street (not […]
I know there’s great protest against level railway crossings and that they’re considered dangerous and blah blah blah. I’ve even seen those scary as hell videos of a person running in-front of one train right into the next oncoming. Or those cars that figure the crossing signal doesn’t “count” for them and dodge around it […]
There has been a distinct lack of cold and snow this winter – at least in Toronto. Although, apparently, we have broken some standards in regards to the most days without any sunshine. YAY – there’s something to brag about. No wonder everyone’s sick and/or depressed.
My bus route is hit and miss – if I catch the right bus at the right time – I’m at work within the hour. But if I miss it, and wait (or sleep in as the case often is) I’m looking at a two hour journey across the city. It’s daunting really, because that’s […]
Musttake more photos.
In the past, I didn’t get ass. That’s not just a figure of speech. Not only was I a late bloomer, I just didn’t get the appeal of butt cleavage – boobs are just find and as far as I knew; more accessible. But now I have a lady with a truly (I can’t express […]
…of String! … I got nothin’.
The Prince Edward Viaduct used to be the second largest suicide structure in the world (just behind the Golden Gate Bridge). To stem the ease of jumping (and thus any chance of photography over the bridge) the city installed these 5 meter high wires which, imho, are effective, since suicide is the lazy way out […]
Yesterday: me: there are suprisingly few well written blogs Brad: I’m not surprised by that — most people just go “here’s my crappy photo!” me: that’s entirely what I do, tomorrow’s in particular…
It’s all very exciting.
I wonder if Asians looking at food at a Western super market are as confused as I am looking at their various fish and noodle bowls. Speaking of… I must go grocery shopping again – I seem to eat more when I’m home.
Happy New Year!
I’m back from Christmas in O-town. It was a fantastic trip – stressful with all the happenings and new meetings of new family – but great none-the-less. Mel was completely cool with me throughout and checked in with me to make sure I was doing well [READ: not getting interrogated (tortured) by her relatives] and […]
Man, I can’t be bothered today – I carried my camera everywhere, and I didn’t shoot a damn thing – I was too focused on my tasks. I need a day of wandering. Come the weekend, Ottawa may have some of that in store for me. This shot is actually the opposite side of the […]
My obligatory Nathan Phillips Square shot – every Toronto blogger’s gotta have at least one.
I just got back from watching I Am Legend and I’m admittedly a little freaked out – vampire zombies things that have taken over the planet are a bit much when you’re home alone.Even this dog isn’t safe – he could be affected by contact with the virus – I’m all stressed out now – […]
The house itself was kinda “sketch” but this doorway – I don’t know where it lead – it was dark and smelly, so maybe to my bed room… Or my pants!
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 […]
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.
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 […]
