Vote Smart Tomorrow

There is only one more day until the big elections. Tomorrow is a very important day for the world, and I hope you all make the right choice. I would like to share my opinion on the election, since the outcome of the elections impacts not only the people of the United States of America, ...

Flying cat

I just saw the funniest thing. My Jack Russell was play-fighting with my roommate’s cat. Mojo (the Dog) was right in front of Arlow (The cat), so Arlow had this clever idea of averting Mojo. He jumped about 2 feet in the air, cleared Mojo and ran as fast as he could out of my ...

Chris Rock quotes of the week

This week’s quotes of the week come from Chris Rock. “If a woman tells you she’s twenty and looks sixteen, she’s twelve. If she tells you she’s twenty-six and looks twenty-six, she’s damn near fourty. “ “You know the world is going crazy when the best rapper is a white guy, the best golfer is ...

Halloween 2004 5

I decided to be an aviator for Halloween this year. I purchased a pilot’s uniform, and a pair of aviator glasses to go with it. My brother Tom is dressed up as a Special Forces Counter-Terrorist agent. We’re going to Devil’s Martini this evening, so if you’re looking for something to do in the Toronto ...

We’ll always remember you Opa

On Wednesday, October 29th, 2003, one year ago today, my Opa (Grandpa) passed away peacefully in his sleep in his 77th year. His name was Cornelis (Case) Veldhuizen. He had a very profound impact on my life. I spoke at his funeral, and I wanted to share my words from that day last year. “Over ...

Big Brothers of Toronto

I have recently joined the Big Brothers program here in Toronto. I wanted to urge anyone that this might interest to become a Big Brother or a Big Sister. I just spoke to the coordinator and in Toronto, there are a very large number of little brothers waiting for a match, and there are literally ...

3 Drown in SUV Accident

I’m very suprised that these poor ladies didn’t know (or weren’t able) to kick out the back windshield of their vehicle. This was something that I was taught when I took driving lessons, and you’d think that one of them would be able to do it, especially in the face of death. Apparently they used ...

Royal Navy Satan Worshipper

I don’t know whether to laugh at this or not. It’s very strange though. Excerpt:“That allows him to perform satanic rituals aboard and permits him to have a non-Christian Church of Satan funeral should he be killed in action.” So what are satanic rituals? Burning crosses? Poking people with a pitchfork? Ridiculousness. Here’s the link ...

George W. Bush’s resume

I came across a resume for President Bush, put together by a person named “Kelley Kramer” on [Link]. I’m not a fan of Bush, but I would still recommend taking this resume with a grain of salt. It is very biased and one-sided, but it’s still fun to criticize one of the worst Presidents in ...

A part of my life is missing

I’m missing a huge part of my life, and I can really feel it on a night like tonight. I’m at home, it’s 9:30PM on a Saturday night, and normally I would be just finishing watching the Leafs play a game on Hockey Night in Canada. I’d be watching the game with the boys, we’d ...
