Sleep talking 5

Have you ever woken someone up, and they start talking to you about the things that they are currently dreaming about? I woke my brother up last night when his friend called him, and here was our conversation: Tom “Is it okay if I put this here?” (Pointing at his bed).Jim “Is it okay if ...

Back in Toronto

I arrived back in Toronto around 3:30PM today. We were supposed to arrive last night at 10:30PM. We ended up spending the night in Chicago. We also had bad luck on the way to Puerto Rico as well; we sat at the Chicago airport for 13 hours due to airplane mechanical problems. So we only ...

Hola Puerto Rico! 3

I don’t want to waste too much time on the Internet, since the weather is absolutely gorgeous out here and I want to get back to the Ocean to body surf the waves, so I’m just going to post a few pictures of the trip thus far. Most of these pictures were taken yesterday. We ...

Gone to Puerto Rico 1

I’m leaving for Puerto Rico this morning, so you probably won’t hear much from me all next week.

US shares blame

When things are going well, the Bush Administration loves to take the solo credit for their accomplishments. But when things go wrong, they love to share the blame with others. The US mistakenly dropped a 500-pound bomb on a house early Saturday, killing at least 5 people. The BBC report calls it an “embarrassing admission ...

Abortion, right or wrong? 7

I was reading an article in the Newspaper this morning about a 24-Year-old mother who has been charged with 2 counts of first degree murder for the killing of two of her infant sons. The first son was murdered 1998 when he was 7 months old, and the second murder was in 2002 when he ...

World becoming one race

The last couple centuries have seen the most significant changes in technology and means of transportation. Before rapid transportation was available, races, cultures and languages were preserved and segregated geographically. In Europe, you could travel a mere 100 kilometers before unveiling a different language and completely different culture. With the many different methods of rapid ...
