Like Music?

Recommendation

Everyone that likes music with soul should go to this page and buy one of his albums.

He’s one of those rare people who…

  • Is a gifted musician
  • Seems to have no ridiculous ego problem
  • Plays a mean piano
  • Can have every foot tapping in the place by the end of the first chorus


I bought his album and it is amazing.

New Photos? Believe It!

Updated!

After far too long, I have updated my photography blog.

Mind you, there are only two new photos.

Updating takes time because I have to go back and make sure I note the technical specs, as well as the story behind the photo. I have so many in my portfolio at home that it becomes hard to choose.

So why not let me know what sort of things you’d like to see, and I’ll seeif I can accomodate you? Feel free to leave it in the comments section, or e-mail me.


My Latest Addiction

Don’t laugh…



Believe it! Click to enlarge…


I bought Naruto: Clash of Ninja for my Gamecube.

It’s actually a lot of fun and the characters have a lot of personality. So much so that I checked out a couple of episodes of the Anime.

Now I’m hooked.

I recommend it to anyone who is a sucker for a great story. Most people don’t like watching animated shows because they are considered to be for kids. However, quite a lot of work that comes out of Japan is meant for a more mature audience, due to the subject matter and complicated plots.

Wasted Time

Wasted Time

Have you ever been hammered and felt like writing down what you’re thinking for all the world to see?

You know what I’m talking about.

Those deep thoughts that surface only when there is enough alcohol to take advantage of their buoyancy. Profound knowledge, ranking among the thoughts of the ages onhy to be found in the state of inebriation.

I know a number of people who wish that there was somewhere that they could jot down these thoughts, without fear or judgement.

Well, Dave and I have created such a place.


Go see*.



* – There is also a link on the sidebar, under the Interest heading.

Storm New Pluggy

The Storm Has Come and Gone

The tornado that was World Cup 2006 has been and gone, leaving in its wake the crushed hopes of many, along with their flags in the gutter*.

The subway is a lot quieter now, as are the streets at night. Far less honking can be heard.

In this post, I stated my disappointment in hooliganism and bandwagon-jumping.

While I still maintain my belief that these types of events can bring out the worst in some, it undeniably has the effect of bringing people together for good times.

My wish would be for those good times to last longer than a week or two…



A New Me

Well, a new look for the blog, anyway.

Actually, it’s an old look for my other blog which seems to work for this one.

I was getting tired of the RSS feeds not displaying properly, and the crazy font shifts. So this new one is here to stay. You like?



Pluggy Pluggy

I would like to direct your attention to the right sidebar. Take a look. I’ll wait.

You done?

Took you long enough.

There you will see a button for Armada Quarterly. It’s an online literary magazine.

It’s a great publication and a lot of work went into it.

Go check it out. You might recognize one of the editors.

They are always looking for submissions…




* – They really have to make those car window flags far more durable. I’ve seen so many of those things fly off and land in the street.

Things That Wait With Baited Passport

Things That Pop Into My Head

Have you ever seen a person who resembles someone you know? I’m sure you have. But how many times do you see a look-alike who is actually from a different ethnic background?

I was on the subway this morning, and I was standing next to a young Indian gentleman who looked like an Indian version of André 3000 from Outkast.

The funny thing was, every time I looked at this guy all I could think of was…


Out-caste


I’m going to hell, aren’t I?



Waiting With Baited Beth

Beth came over the other night to hang out with us. It was great.

I hadn’t seen Beth since Dave’s wedding several years ago.

We went to high school together, and traveled in different circles. I met her through her sister, and always thought she was a great person

We basically chilled on the deck with Beth and our neighbour, eating take-out Indian food* and drinking some fine wines.

You should take a moment to check out her page. She’s a great writer as well as being a fun person to hang out with.



The Beer Passport

I have decided to keep track of all the different beers I have ever tried. This idea was inspired by Reay who gave me eight different beers from around the world for my birthday.

It’s in the side bar, and the top bar under Passports, pluralized due to the fact that I will be putting in a wine list at some point.

Click and enjoy!
