Frugal, not cheap! 2

I want to clear something up. Being cheap is much different than being frugal, and I take offense when I’m called cheap. Frugal implies absence of luxury and simplicity of lifestyle whereas being cheap implies always looking to pay for something below it’s value. I see myself as the type of person that cuts out ...

Party Cougs 2

My buddy Mike and I went to an Irish Pub with a patio for lunch today on account of the beautiful weather. As a result of the beautiful weather, there wasn’t any seating available on the patio and there was a 30-40 minute wait to get a seat. So on account of 2 ladies looking ...

F#ck the Canadians!

I’m very accustomed to seeing crazy homeless people cursing at the world in loud sharp raging outbursts, but today was the first time I had seen a homeless person screaming his venomous rage while riding a bicycle. I was riding my bike home from work today and as I was approaching his cycle, I could ...

"Google Me" 3

Googling someone has become a common act for me over the last year or so. I regularly Google people when I’m curious to find out more about them. Especially at work when we’re dealing with a software vendor and they send in a “specialist” to assist us. I will always Google them to see what ...

Visit to New Brunswick / Nova Scotia 4

I landed in Moncton, New Brunswick yesterday around dinner time for a brief 1 night business trip. Some things I noticed in my short time here: people drive really slow, it’s a lot more quiet, there are many hitchhikers on the highway, and I even saw a business man walking casually along the Trans Canada ...

The face of Jesus 3

I haven’t read much of the bible since my childhood Sunday school days, but I recently came to discover that Jesus’ physical appearance was unknown and the typical Jesus appearance with the long hair and the beard is mainly a European rendition of Jesus. I think the very fact that Jesus’ appearance is unknown is ...

Brotha JC 1

Been busy lately, but I wanted to post this brotha JC pic. I think it’s pretty damn funny.

Do you like black girls? 8

I had quite an unusual experience at of all places, the Dental office. The story starts when I first arrived; I noticed that the two hygienists that were working this evening were both good looking. Then as my hygienist was cleaning my teeth, she was encouraging me to floss more often so that I could ...

Sunday Update 3

I ran the Sporting Life 10K race today and beat my Personal best time and ended up with 38 minutes and 49 seconds (Overall: 186th of 6339, Gender: 161st of 2976, Age Category: 11th of 97). I beat my last year’s time by only 30 seconds. I was aiming to get under 39 minutes, so ...

Manpower? 5

Every day on my commute to work (12 minute walk), I walk by a street level office for a company called “Manpower Inc.”. The poster on the window has the corporate Manpower logo and a picture of a woman. Upon looking into the office, I notice that every single person working in this office is ...
