Leggo My Birthday!

Posted on March 28, 2006 by Jorge

Leggo My Wino

Mrs. J and I headed over to Niagara-On-The-Lake this past weekend.

Niagara-On-The-Lake is a great place to visit because of the many wineries scattered about the region.

We’ve been on several winery tours and even more tastings. It’s an excellent way to spend the weekend.

I don’t normally plug these types of things on here, but there is a particular winery that makes exceptional wine that I just have to mention.

The winery is called Lailey Vineyard. It is a small place located just outside of Niagara-On-The-Lake.

It is run by winemaker Derek Barnett. He is a great guy with an amazing knack for crafting great wines. You need to check this place out, if you are at all interested in wine. I have to say that their Rosé is amazing, even if you are not a Rosé drinker.



Birthdays!

A happy belated birthday to Cat. She’s been a bit quiet as of late, but I suspect that sometime soon she will post something awesome (as usual). You can check out her site to see some great posts that she has done in the past.

Also, a happy birthday to Courtney! She is now the ripe old age of 24 today. She posts quite often and always welcomes guests new and old. So go check her site out as well!

He can blend in with any crowd, becoming virtually invisible.


Occupation(s): Various
Nationality: Canadian
Remarks: The Haligonian has ties to Russia, Washington DC, Boston and Toronto. He has fled Blogland, and it is uncertain if he will return. Locating him is not an easy task, as he frequents different pubs and changes his patterns daily. The only common thread is the Guinness that he loves to drink so much.




He is the arsonist of the hearts of women everywhere.



Caution

The Haligonian is wanted for allegedly charming the pants off of everyone. He has written some of the best stories and painted such vivid imagery that he has made almost all other blogs pointless to read. He has been causing trouble in Karaoke Bars by trying to bring in his portable keyboard, and he has been seen hanging out with ex-Canadian Idols (Herein known as Canadian Idles).




Seen here in his youth, sowing the seeds of musical destruction he would harvest in his later years…



Considered Armed (With superior diction) and Extremely Dangerous (Awesome dance moves with all the Sweet Hookups)

If you have any information concerning this person, please contact Barking Space as soon as possible.




He employs hi-tech methods of eluding the law…>

Pictured here in his political activism uniform…



Happy Birthday, Buddy.

Pimp My Blog

Posted on March 22, 2006 by Jorge

Check Out This Little Number…

Well, I’m not pimping my own blog here. I am pimping a blog belonging to my friend James. He’s a wonderful poet and friend and he’s started building on something I started on here.

In the spirit of stupid spam names*, I have previously written a few scenarios in which the strange names extracted from the headers of spam become colourful characters in various situations…


James has taken this idea and run with it, writing a new scenario about a football team. Go check it out!




* – To understand what I mean, you’ll have to check that link out.

I Have the Coolest Friends

Posted on March 15, 2006 by Jorge

I Have the Coolest Friends

I have a friend who is one of the sweetest people I know. I don’t normally write about her on here, as she is a private person.

However, in this case, I think it’s warranted.

She is participating in the Weekend to End Breast Cancer. It is an excellent initiative in which thousands of people will get together on a weekend this coming September to show their commitment to aiding in the fight against breast cancer.

It’s a sixty kilometre walk over the course of the weekend.

And she is going to do it.

I found out through a friend that she was doing it, as she is quite shy about these kinds of things.

I am very proud of her. I am going to include a link to her personal pledge page, so that you can see why I am so happy to have friends like this.

You don’t need to sponser her if you don’t want to. I’m not asking you to. However, if you feel like you’d like to contribute a little, I’m sure she’d appreciate it.

When enough positive energy and resources flow, we humans can conquer anything!

La Dolce Convo

Posted on March 3, 2006 by Jorge

Jorge and Dave Have Another Conversation

Here’s a little gem, fresh off the presses.

Once in a while (read: a lot, probably) I will vent frustrations about stuff to Dave, who sits there, listens, and provides feedback if necessary. It’s one of the things that makes him such an awesome friend.

Of course, there are also times when he inadvertently comes up with something pants-peeingly funny, thus diffusing my negativity and making my day way better than it started off…


Jorge: Hey mano, thanks for letting me vent.
Dave: No problem.
J: One of these days you have to vent to me.
D: Meh.
J: But you never have to vent, do ya?
D: Yah.
J: You’re living La Dolce Vita
D: That’s right. Inside upside down or whatever.
J: [Pause] That’s La Vida Loca, man.
