If Only Man Can Live on Beer Alone...

Sometimes, I am just a little embarrassed to be Canadian.

Besides sharing your country with 2 official languages, and one of those provinces continues to lobby for separation, it's like airing out your dirty marital problems on an international scale.

Walk of Shame

There are accepted norms in society. You have to wait in the emergency room, government workers gets automatic tenure, you should workout more so that you can eat McDonalds. And a while ago I wrote up my thoughts on underachieving in life after reading The Underachiever’s Manifesto by Ray Bennett but below are some pictures I have taken this week with my iPhone (so excuse the crappy quality and lack of zoom) that truly characterizes underachievement to the next level.

Social Ineptitude

Let me tell you guys a story about a little squirrel.

This little squirrel has grown up with his community of squirrels and was generally well liked and accepted. Over the years, he developed in to a contributing member of the group and was even given some responsibilities in leading the younger squirrels.

Happy Anniversary

It’s been just over one year since I started this blog and lots have happened since then. There’s been a controversial Halo opinion, a GTA4 head to head, and my most treasured addition – the podcast. I’ve tried to keep the updates regular and mostly they have been so, but lately it’s been slacking again. The podcast takes quite of planning since I don’t have a co-host (of which I’m still working on) but it’s still a lot of fun to do.

Sad Truth

I was given some horrible news today. One of my wife's co-workers just had a baby not long ago, less than a year to think of it, but the little girl passed away on Monday night.

Holy Mother of Ikea!

Hey readers and listeners, my sincere apologies for letting my updates totally slide. Firstly, I've taken up a part time gig helping a friend finish up some decking and fencing work he has here in the city while I'm gainfully unemployed. This is keeping my days pretty busy but I still am trying to keep up with the blogging and podcasting.

Tuesday Update

Yeah, I know. I'm late again.

Trust me, it's not all been fun and games this last week. There was a bit of personal stuff I had to deal with right away so the blog has be slightly neglected. But it's sort of back on track now so here's a quick update.

Monday Update

Hello Superfans!

This Monday update is going to be short and sweet. I'm going to be covering a lot of topics on this upcoming podcast and its corresponding show notes will have lots of the info I wanted to talk about as well.

Monday Update

I'm going to start a new regular segment on the blog with this post and that's going to be a weekly Monday Update. Since the podcast is somewhat irregular (hold the bran jokes!) the Monday Updates will keep the blog full of fibre goodness!

And Here We Go Again

A new job has started for me. This is the second day and it's going pretty well so far. There are some surprises but mostly what I was expecting.

The biggest change for me has to be the drive into work. As discussed earlier and during the first episode of the podcast, I am driving 40 KM each way. It's a lot to drive but I'm grateful that the car isn't a piece of junk.

It's a bit early to tell if I am going to love it here or how long this time will be but I am truly hoping that it will be a while. I'm tired of moving around so much!
