It’s amazing how such a sweet life change can make hearing bad news even worse.
What the hell is wrong with some people in this world?

They Say It Changes You. They’re Right.

Exceeding Expectations
What a rollercoaster week it has been.
It started off as a fast (yet controlled) car trip to a hospital, and is now an ongoing adventure.
A good portion of my life before this point has been spent thinking about this very thing.
But no matter how much you read about it, or mentally prepare for it, I belive there is a part of it that you will never, ever be able to understand until long after it has happened.
That path to that understanding is an adventure.
You Think You Know Someone…
I am immensely proud of Mrs. J.
I am in awe of what she did and consequently, have even more respect for all of my female friends who have kids.
I could take all of the pain I’ve ever had in my life, and wrap it all into one moment, and I doubt that it is interest on the tax of the pain that my wife went through.
But if you ask her for her opinion, she would tell you that it was all worth it.

10 Things I Can’t Live Without
Posted on March 23, 2007 by Jorge
Tagged, eh?
Jules has tagged me with the task of listing ten things I can’t live without.
The catch?
This list excludes people and animals.
So without further ado…
- Air
- Water
- Food
- Creativity
- Energy
- The Sun
- Determination
- Chopsticks
- Music
- Verbs
Sorry, Jules. That’s the best I can do at this time. It is quite late and I’m really tired.
I tag…

Goodbye Footnotes, Hello FootNotz

Footnotes: A Thing of the Past
I tend to use a lot of footnotes when I blog. There are just so many references that I figured I would keep the flow of my articles by using this handy system.
The problem is that footnotes don’t always make reading a blog easier. In books they work well because you don’t have to use a scrollbar to read them. Car accidents like this can give you carpal tunnel syndrome.
Hence FootNotz. Why FootNotz? Well, they are not footnotes. And they are spelled with a z at the end to give them that urban edge.
So just hover your mouse over any text in this purplish colour and be amazed!
I’m sure Beth might be able to use this exciting new feature to avoid things like this.
FootNotz, the way of the future.

Flies Along
Posted on January 8, 2007 by Jorge
Time Flies…
On Saturday I participated in a fifteen hour marathon Karate class.
I suspect there are very few who would consider that a fun way to spend a Saturday.
I, however, enjoyed what I learned immensely.
In my opinion, it’s great to push your physical and mental limits, because it’s the only way you will develop. Expanding one’s own potential is a marvellous thing. If you never do it, you’ll never be everything you were meant to be.
I have a lot of work to do. Lots of polishing of movements and interpretation of the chicken-scratch that I refer to as my notes.
I will be busy for a while.
Strolling Along
Does anyone have any recommendations for a stroller for an infant?
Mrs. J and I were out on the weekend looking for one and figured that a travel system would be the best way to go about things.
The interesting thing is how complicated it is to choose one.
Certainly there is a lot of selection. The problem begins when you try to figure out what features you need.
It’s worse than buying a car!
Truthfully, I think that shopping for strollers is a lot more tiring than a fifteen hour Karate marathon…
