Talent to annoy

Here’s an issue that I think is plaguing the world.  Talent.  Not too much of it, not too little of it, but more so too many people with a little thinking they have a lot.  And unfortunately, it’s dragging us down.  We’re taking attention away Continued…

The Engagement IV

I’m not sure who invented the concept of Engagement Photos, but I am certain it wasn’t a man.  For the past few months, my future bride and I have been taking part in this ritual with a lot of excitement, stress and worry from her and a lot of deer in headlights from me.  Not necessarily watching from the sidelines, but more so trying to take part in Continued…

Backyard Chickens?

I read yesterday that Calgary voted down a pilot project that would enable city residents to keep up to six chickens in their back yard for the purpose of fresh eggs.  To be honest, I’m glad.  However there are people that believe it’s against their rights under the United Nations charter that says citizens can not be denied food. Continued…

First Coffee Shop Visit

Seriously… Coffee Shops… What’s up with that? Been to one lately? I have, let me tell you about it. I started drinking coffee a long time ago.  And since then, if it’s past 9am and I haven’t had a cup, then chances are, you’ll find me in some dark closet, curled up in the feeble position, rocking back and forth, singing every verse known to man of Continued…

The Sick Side of Life

Out of the top 5 things I hate “being”, being sick probably fits in at number 2. Number one is a whole other discussion that I won’t get into, but let me just say, it involves a rubber chicken, three thimbles, and one of those shirts with the crocodile picture on it. I know… obvious isn’t it? Continued…

Too Much Stuff

I think I’ve figured out what has been slowing down progress.  Yes, we are slowing down.  No, the Double Down, Jersey Shore, Vehicles with DVD’s and Dr. Woo’s Ab Electrocution Machine are not progress.  You see, many believe that money is what makes the world go around while others would believe it’s time.  I understand the theories behind these Continued…

Freedom of Stupidity?

Let’s discuss freedom of expression.  In Canada, we have laws that protect our ability to say what we want, when we want.  Hold on a second… there’s some fine print.  “As long as it is not offensive to anyone, which will be the judgment of the government.”   Hmm, well, okay.  I’m sure there are many out there that feel the laws are ambiguous and still do Continued…

The Engagement III

The world of wedding planning is a scary dimension if you’re a guy.  Not like for women who take on the challenge like an ultimate fighter.  Sure they know they may get beaten down, but the thrill and rewards are well worth it.  With three months gone and plenty more to go, I’m perplexed at how much work needs to be done sooner rather than later for Continued…

Why 2 hours of sport equals 3 days of soreness

I’m getting old.  No, I’m not going through a mid life crisis.  Wait… at what age should I be going through a mid life crisis?  Hmmmm, I should know this.  Is my memory going?  Wait?  What was I talking about?  Who are you people?  Where am I?  What was I talking about?  Oh, that’s right, I was talking about driving routes or something. Continued…

To Date, or Not To Date

When did dating get so complicated? A few years have passed since I’ve been on the scene and to be honest, I’m completely okay with that. In this modern world, I would be lost in trying to figure out the whats and the hows of the beginner courting ritual. I’m not saying that I met the love of my life by “calling on her” to go to the spring ball. We Continued…
