10K Race

I’m running a 10K race this morning at the Toronto Zoo. I’m not looking forward to it though, it’s 8 degrees celsius outside right now, and they are calling for isolated showers this morning. So I get to run the race cold and wet. I guess it’s better than running in extreme hot weather. Wish ...

George Costanza’s Quotes of the Week

This week’s quotes of the week come from Seinfeld’s George Costanza. “I always get the feeling that when lesbians look at me, they’re thinking, ‘*That’s* why I’m not a heterosexual.'” “If I owned a company, my employees would love me.

Dirt biking thrill

I had a great thrill today. I rode my dirt bike 120KMs on the QEW to visit my Mom for Thanksgiving. My Uncle Dave and his son Nick also brought their dirt bikes to my Mom’s house on the back of their pickup truck. Dave rides a 2000 Kawasaki KX 250cc. Nick rides a 1993 ...

RIP Superman

Anyone have a gas mask?

I woke up this morning to an unpleasant surprise. Shortly after my alarm went off, still half asleep, I opened my bedroom door and I felt like I walked into a brick wall. My roommate’s bedroom is across the hall from mine, his door was wide open, and the entire hallway, stairway, and bathroom smelled ...

In memory of Rodney Dangerfield

Rodney Dangerfield (Born Jacob Cohen, Nov 22, 1921) passed away yesterday after going into a coma after having heart surgery. Rodney’s humour has always made me laugh. One movie of his that I always remember is “Back to School”. The movie is from 1986, and I probably haven’t seen it in 8 years or so, ...

Small town band: Clemente

Listening to Yahoo! Launchcast, I recently came across a band from a small town in Georgia named “Clemente” and I instantly fell in love with their music. The song I fell in love with is called “Inevetable Plots Tonight”, and can be heard on their album “Teeth Measure the Need” released by Moodswing Records Link. ...

Hockey results

My first hockey game was a lot of fun. It felt great to get out on the ice for the first time in 5 months or so. We won 2-1. But the interesting part about the night was that I successfully transported my entire hockey equipment on my dirt bike 70kms along the QEW from ...
