  • My brother wins an award for best gift to anyone ever.

  • rip van winkle

    I have returned! Funny story. I was gearing up to write a number of blog entries on some deep and profound thoughts. It was going to be amazing I swear! Then I came home from work one day and plugged in my laptop, the power cord cut out quickly and I thought “hmm, thats funny.”…

  • View from one of my favorite places on earth.

  • Apparently there is a native population of witches that drivers must look out for at keji

  • My afternoon.

  • the foundations of a promise

    I am a huge fan of crazy theories and doing the unexpected. So one day I got to thinking about promises. Those I make and that I see made. The ones that people believe are implied and those that people need outlined in every single detail. As I thought more about just how quick people…

  • a matter of semantics or heretics

    Well it has been more than a month since I have written anything. While part of me feels that not much has changed in that time I also must acknowledge that it really has. I graduated and became a contributing member to society. I even received a piece of paper that says I am qualified…

  • Anyone care to follow down the rabbit hole?

  • all you need is love

    Tonight as I drove home in the rain I decided I would turn my radio to my default radio station, CBC Radio 1. As I tuned in I found myself listening to a program called Out Front. This show they were talking about an arranged marriage, one specifically although they did generalize a bit. The…

  • conviction tension

    So I spent some more time thinking about ideas of regret today and about some of the comments that people made in response to the last blog entry I made about regret. I didn’t really come up with anything new or earth shattering but I was left thinking about the roles of conviction and regret.…

  • working hard or hardly working?

    Seeing that it is the end of another university school year, the sixth time I have witnessed this event, thoughts and discussions have turned inevitably to employment. For me personally I have been constantly answering questions about what I want to teach, where I want to teach, or ‘Why the heck did you take this…

  • and now for something completely different!

    Last night I was uploading some videos to youtube for just the second time ever. In the process though I was reminded of the first time I used it. That is the story I will share today. Last year the gentleman who is now my roommate lived up the street in another apartment. During the…

  • do i regret to inform you?

    Of late I have spent a lot of time thinking about truth, honesty, lies, liars, and living in general and I have come upon a topic that I want to hear the opinions of others on. That topic is regret. What does it mean to regret something? What does it mean to have no regrets?…

  • saving the trees with email, but what about our sanity

    Now I am probably not your typical computer user, what with having a degree in computer science and all, but I think that there is a problem that we all deal with daily that most don’t even realize is a problem. Now I have somewhere in the ball park of 3 to 15 different email…

  • random fruit checkpoints…

    So the last time I crossed the boarder from Canada into the USA the only question that seemed to be of any importance was the question about whether our group of weary travelers were transporting the most illegal of substances… … Apples!… But not just any kind of apple, specifically Red or Green apples. As…

  • i can’t believe i’m blogging about uranus

    So a month ago my brother and I were locked in the grips of serious discussion for several hours, without warning the conversation broke into the realm of pure absurdity. It started with a simple question about closed systems and broke into Astrology and possibilities that it could be based in something that isn’t completely…
