New Photos? Believe It!

Posted on October 5, 2006 by Jorge

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.

Early Kung-Fu

Posted on October 2, 2006 by Jorge

Early Day

My day started pretty early yesterday (04:00) due to the fact that I was invited to take photos from a unique vantage point.

Pending permission, I will post photos on my photography blog.

Actually, I’m a little behind in keeping that site up-to-date. I’ll be posting other new stuff as well as some older images in the next few weeks.



Everybody was Kung-Fu Fighting

Well, not really.

My friends Dave, Nick and Andrew were grading for various levels of Black Belt in Karate yesterday. They all did extremely well.


More of a quick update than anything else.

Something Happened Cryptic

Posted on September 28, 2006 by Jorge

Something to Think About

A few days ago, I posted the following item…


When does 1×1=3?


Some people got it. Some people didn’t.

Surprisingly, it was my friends in positions requiring immense amounts of brain power that took the longest to get it.



What Happened?

Shortly after I posted it, I had to take it down. It revealed too much about something that we needed to tell a few people in person (or on the phone) before it became public.

Apologies to those who commented already and found their comments deleted. Also, some of the people who figured out the answer were worried when I took it down. I assure you everything is fine.



Why Are You So Cryptic?

Deal with it. And to that end, here is a joke that answers the original cryptic question…


What does Jorge say when someone grabs Mrs. Jorge’s Arm?

Leggo my preggo!


Now it shouldn’t be hard for anyone to figure out what I meant.

The Real World Auction

Posted on September 20, 2006 by Jorge

The Real World

I was riding the subway to work this morning, and ended up standing by two girls who were most likely in their second year of university.

Some of what they were saying was refreshing. One girl was obviously trying to appear more worldy than she was though. Can’t fault her for that as we’ve all fallen into that bit at least once in our lives.

My favourite line, though, was when one of the girls started talking about how stupid she thought high school was…


Girl 1: I love University life.
Girl 2: Yeah. Me too.
G1: It’s so different from high school. People are so much friendlier.
G2: Totally.
G1: I’m glad I will never have to go through the high school experience again.
G2: Yeah?
G1: I mean, you wake up. You go to school. You work all day. You go home. Sometimes you do work there. Then you go to bed. And then you repeat.
G2: Tell me about it. University and everything after is totally different.


Er…

I must still be in high school.



Auction Time!

My friend Beth is auctioning off something unique on e-bay.

If you have a heart (or $14.34 extra lying around) go bid!

Respect All Grown Up

Posted on September 17, 2006 by Jorge

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

I was in the subway recently, making my way across the city to help a friend move to her new place, when I witnessed this exchange on the subway…


[Two girls in their mid teens are sitting on one side of the car. An older lady abruptly shuffles over from another part of the car for no reason and sits across from these two young gals.]
Girl 1: [Eyes the tote bag that the lady is carrying with obvious admiration.] Is that bag homemade? Did you make it?
Crotchety Old Lady: [Sneering.] What do you think?
[This abrupty ends the conversation. The train arrives at the next stop, and the older lady shuffles out.]
Girl 2: What was that all about?
Girl 1: I don’t know. All I asked was if she made that bag, it was cool. And she was all, like [Makes grouchy face and hand gestures (not unlike claws).] to me.
Girl 2: Weird.
Girl 1: Yeah. I don’t know why I bother being respectful to older people. I’m pretty tired of having so much respect for everybody.


That sucked for Girl 1, eh?

Of course, Girl 1 was sitting sideways across three seats with her dirty shoes up on the last seat.

Respectful my ass.



All Grown Up

It’s pretty much official.

Mrs. J and I are now proud card-carrying home owners.

As we handed our deposit cheque to the agent, I realize that the word owners begins with OW.

How appropriate.



Check out our new crib.

Seriously, it’s a nice little bungalow in a nice neighbourhood.

I’m pretty happy about it.

However, anyone that wishes to give me money to pay down this little nest can feel free.
