Christmas Day 2006-12-29 13:21:00 So this was definitely going to be my best Christmas ever. Not only had I found the perfect gift for my parents, as an extra bonus I am going to upstage my idiotic sister & her stupid gift at the same time. Things are going to be pretty sweet. I mean, I know we are both grown adults and at a stage in our lives where childish rivalries should be long forgotten, however one would never know it ...

Is She Really Going out with Him 2006-12-22 17:07:00 One of my favourite times of the year is now finally upon us, that being the Xmas Party season. I survived the first of these Christmas parties this past Saturday, and it was definitely no easy accomplishment. Usually everyone I know that have these Xmas parties recommend that all their guests either stay over or bring a designated driver if they plan on consuming copious amounts of liquor, ...

I'm so Tired 2006-12-16 14:44:00 Well I returned home on Thursday evening, happy to see the end of weeks of meetings and even happier to know that I still have a job. My good mood ended shortly after arriving at my so-called 'renovated apartment' to find that although I had new flooring, painting and cabinets throughout, all of my furniture was stacked in the corner of each room, apparently just waiting for me to return in ...

The Fortnight Saga 2006-12-01 18:00:00 No wonder the stupid company I work for is not making enough money this year. They are wasting huge dollars on these meetings I am attending and it really appears like they are never going to come to an end. Once again we all flew out on Sunday evening to arrive in Toronto for Week Two of what they are calling "Operational Fine Tuning" sessions which pretty much refers to long daily workshops ...

Phasers on Stun 2006-11-24 17:59:00 After four full long days of endless business meetings & some pretty crappy hotel food, I was quite excited to head back home to Calgary, albeit only for this weekend as I am expected to return to Toronto again next week for more of the same. Arriving at the airport rather early, I immediately check in my bags and wandered around for a bit, waiting for my flight to be announced. Now this is ...

Superstition 2006-11-17 18:12:00 Throughout my life I have always had a somewhat rocky relationship with the ham sandwich. Now to the average reader that may be perceived as a rather outlandish statement since you are all probably thinking "What possible damage can a poor innocent ham sandwich do to a person?" Well let me tell you, in looking back over my life I have now come to realize that this so called 'innocent' ham ...

Doctor My Eyes 2006-11-10 18:27:00 The company where I am employed, as with many other high profile corporations, likes to be involved in a number of charitable events and programs throughout the year in order to give something back to the community in which they operate. One of the largest recipients of our corporate donations is the United Way of Canada, which is an organization that is involved with numerous worthwhile ...

Two Out Of Three Ain't Bad 2006-11-03 18:38:00 I have been wanting to write up a short report card and poll on the three major Blog traffic exchange services for the past few weeks however, once I sit down in front of my computer, I tend to start writing about the frequently insane goings-on in my life instead of my intended topic. This week I actually was able to stay focused and complete this project which I will share with you below and ...

Hello Goodbye 2006-10-27 17:34:00 The most boring & uninteresting posts that I encounter while I am surfing the 'blogosphere' are those entries people write where they are talking about their own blog as the sole subject matter. You know the ones I mean like "I modified my sidebar column width by 1 mm today, hope you all like it." or the ones that assume you are totally blind by announcing "I changed my entire layout, did you ...

Savoy Truffle 2006-10-20 18:15:00 So this past Saturday afternoon I am with my buddy John and we are picking up a couple of  T-bone steaks and some Guinness to head over to Kevin and Samantha's house for a early evening barbeque and followed by a night out on the town boozing & carousing.This was once a regular thing for all of us on a Saturday however lately it definitely seems harder and harder to get the group together.As I ...

What Have I Done to Deserve This 2006-10-13 13:21:00 As my birthday slowly approaches, I really need to ensure that the gifts that I receive from my folks this year is not a repeat of last, which can only be best described as horrendous. If you don't recall that ugly incident, please click here ( Birthday ) and look it over just to familiarize yourself with my personal Hell. Briefly summarizing, my crazy evil sister decided to play a trick on me ...

I've had Enough 2006-10-06 14:47:00 As most people already know, I have always been a rather petty and rancorous individual.  Probably not one of my many better selling points however, what can a guy do, that's life.Having said that, it is time once again to give you a list of stuff on people's blogs that I just hate and that really piss me off.  (keep in mind almost everything lately falls into this category)My regular readers ...

Do You Hear What I Hear? 2006-09-29 14:58:00 This problem has been going on for way too long and finally I think my Dad is now reluctantly going to do something about it.We all first noticed that Dad was having hearing problems a few months back as he was continually asking us to repeat portions of conversations and remarks we had just made.  We all joked that he 'must be going deaf' and 'must need a hearing aid', but this soon proved to be ...
