The Smell of Fresh Cut Grass (Requested by Cat)
Memories of you
Spring forth. Singing of childhood
And the greatest times

Me Am Goodest At English
Sometimes I’ll come up with the stupidest analogies. What makes matters worse is that Dave and I think they’re quite funny. It also doesn’t help that one stupid analogy usually leads to another.
Yes, this is a bad thing.
Observe human de-evolution in action…
[Flashback to the past. Most likely mid 90’s. The scene opens with Dave and Jorge driving around Georgetown*, most likely to Subway for a tasty treat. They are discussing a celebrity who is very rich.]
Dave: Man that guy is so rich.
Jorge: Yes. He is. He’s so rich…
Dave: That he’s got money to burn.
Jorge: He’s so rich…
Dave: That he uses hundred dollar bills to wipe his ass.
Jorge: Nice.
Dave: He’s so rich…
Jorge: [Fumbling.] That he’s rich beyond all recognition…
Dave: What the hell does that mean?
Jorge: I don’t know, but it’s seems to work.
Dave: [Mocking Jorge.] Hey, check out that guy! A second ago, before he got all that money, I knew who he was! Now? I have no clue! In fact, I don’t recognize him at all!
Jorge: Shit.
Dave: I guess the opposite would be poor beyond all anonymity.
Jorge: Yikes. Man, I didn’t know who that guy was, until he went bankrupt and lost everything!
Dave: [Laughing.]
Jorge: I’d hate to be that guy.
Nobel Prize to Jorge and Dave? No.
Knob-el Prize? Perhaps.
You can obseve some other bad analogies on a friend’s page. His name is Dave as well.
The Other Dave
I am surrounded by Daves, and they are all awesome. I plan to have an army of Daves to do my bidding one day. When I shout DAVE! from atop my throne, all Daves will look to me for instruction.
This particular Dave is also a great guy. We spent the last years of University hanging out, developing weird games involving rubber dart guns and Kinder Egg toys. Perhaps one day I’ll regale you with tales of our misdeeds and silliness.
Or not.
We shall see.
Here is his page. It might be out of date, but it still has some cool links on it, as well as cool information.
* – This in and of itself is bad**.
** – Not as bad as driving around Acton***!
*** – Point taken.

Wish Me Luck (Requested by TheresaWarriorPrincess)
I am so unsure
And so I must trust to fate
Rather than myself
The Flu Again (Requested by Courtney8292)
Gripping like a vise
It refuses to leave me
I must beat this thing
Dayquil = Miracle Elixir (Requested by Courtney8292)
Magical Dayquil
Banish the evil spirits
Send them back to hell!

Bloggy Goodness
I’ve been reading this gal‘s blog for some time. Her blog is called Kill the Goat. You should do yourself a favour and read it. I came across a link to her blog in the comments on Dave‘s. This is what greeted me, and I’ve been hooked ever since.
Jay writes for herself. She’s made this perfectly clear. And she really doesn’t give a damn what you think of her writing, as it is all a journey of self (which is as it should be). However, I doubt that there are many that could resist the addictive quality of reading her work.
Go give it a shot!
Incidentally, after I read her blog for the first time, I was tempted to rename mine to Jamie Lite* as a sign of admiration!
Interesting
Do you rememeber that article I wrote about happiness? Check this out.
More Funny Spam Names
Some more names that I found in my inbox of people that might actually exist**…
Barely K. Incorporates
Infiltration C. Naturalness
A Non-Dave Dialog
Yes, there are some days where I don’t have witty, sparkling conversation with just Dave. There are others, too!
At our dojo, there is a weekly ritual. On Thursday nights, after the 8:45 PM class, we all go out to the local pub. It’s a great way to get to know the people you train with in another setting.
One of the guys (Christian, who recently requested some hilarious haiku topics) was half in the bag one night.
This is what transpired…
Christian: [Nudging Jorge in the arm.] Dude, check out that chick over there!
Jorge: [Lazily looking around, trying to follow Christian’s shaky pointing job.] Where?
Christian: That one. She is so HOT!
Jorge: [Looks over to where he is pointing and sees his own wife Mrs. J, who happens to be looking away from them.] Christian, that’s my wife.
Christian: [Pauses.] Dude, you are SO lucky.
That is one of the best compliments, I think. I’m not sure what Mrs. Hai-Kuul thinks of it though…
Vote!
I’m not asking for votes for Best of Spaces or The Ultimate Blog or even Best Hair in Canada.

Remember, you have to click the e-mail link to vote. Comments don’t count.
* – Calling it Jamie Free would have sucked. Who wants to live in a world without Jamie? Not I. No. Not I.
** – Not really

The obligation
Of the landlord is to keep
This up in winter
