April Fool!

Foiled By a Saturday

I thought that I would have many more comments than the few I received regarding my farewell to blogging.

Unfortunately, it being a Saturday – the least likely day for people to be blogging – my joke was foiled.

Rest assured (to whomever may be missing enough sanity to enjoy my blog) that I’m not going anywhere.

It was all in fun.

However, I do appreciate the sentiments that people left. It warms my heart to know that I have made so many new friends on here.

Later on tonight, or tomorrow, I will post the story of one of the best April Fool jokes I ever pulled.

Parting Isn’t Always Sweet

Thank You All

Hey there everyone! This will probably come as a surprise, but due to the fact that I got a new job offer, I will be halting any work I am doing on this space.

There is a certain non-disclosure agreement that I will be signing that forbids me from writing creatively online due to the nature of the work that I will be doing.

It’s an exciting opportunity, and I don’t really want to mess with it, so I’m sure you will all understand.

It’s been a great year and a bit, and I wanted to thank each and every one of you for stopping by and putting your thoughts in the comments sections.

I will miss doing this, but hopefully you will be seeing my work in print and on television soon! I will keep whatever I have posted thusfar on Barking Space for as long as I can. I apologize for any outstanding haiku that have been requested.

You can always e-mail me if you need to get in touch.


A Fond Farewell,

Jorge

Hai-Kuul – March 30, 2006

Atheist’s Gospel (Requested by Philly Cheesesteak)
God does not exist
I hope I am not wrong when
I kick the bucket


Bear and the Squid (Requested by Philly Cheesesteak)
Obscure Kung-Fu style
Taught by an elderly man
Wearing claws and gills


The Evil Snail (Requested by Philly Cheesesteak)
A glistening trail
Shines in the moonlight, left by
The world’s slowest thief


Nice to Meet You, Sagittarian (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
Hey there, what’s your sign?
A centaur with a big bow?
Watch where you aim that!


Mignon? (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
You look quite hungry
Would you like to order steak
Wrapped in smoked bacon?


Yep, She’s Got Tang. (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
Check out those pouches
My mouth is watering now
Orangey goodness!

Leggo My Birthday!

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…>



Reward

Barking Space is offering a reward of up to 2 haiku poems for information leading directly to the capture of The Haligonian.




Pictured here in his political activism uniform…



Happy Birthday, Buddy.
