I’m goin’ in to Sin City
I’m gonna win in Sin City
Where the lights are bright
Do the town tonight
I’m gonna win in Sin City
AC-DC – Sin City
…so said Uncle Scratch’s Gospel Revival Friday night (the quote in the title, not the song lyric). I thought it was a pretty funny line. Ruth bought us tickets to [...]

OMG it’s been along time since I last wrote here! Someone asked me the other day why I haven’t posted in so long, and my response was “dunno…just haven’t felt the muse, I guess”. Weak-sauce! So…time to post. Although…I can’t say as I have a whole lot to say. Not much is sticking in my [...]

Today is…
“I read the news today, oh boy . . .
About a lucky man who made the grade…”
A Day in the Life (The Beatles)
Not that I should have to tell anyone…
And isn’t this two beatles references back 2 back? whoa…
Today is the middle of week 2 of tracking expenses. When I looked at week one, [...]

Plugging the leaks
“I’m fixing a hole where the rain gets in
And stops my mind from wandering
Where it will go
I’m filling the cracks that ran through the door
And kept my mind from wandering
Where it will go”
The Beatles, “Fixing a Hole” Sgt. Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band
For years I’ve thought of it as ‘plugging the leaks’ and in a [...]

Wheee, Christmas
“You’re a triple decker Saurkraut and Toadstool sandwhich, with Arsenic Sauce” –You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”
.
The Grinch has always been my favorite Christmas special, mainly for the song… second favorite would be a tie between Charlie Brown and the old Rudolph one. Really I love them all [...]

A thing of ravishing beauty
I was waiting for Ruth by her place the other day after work, and sat down in the Tim Horton’s with a coffee. Out the window was the most beautiful creature I’ve got to look at for a while. Obviously waiting for someone, for an hour I looked at this ravishing beauty.
Dressed [...]

I’ll try to do better…
It’s been like WAY too long since I wrote a blog, I’ve just not been in blog mode. Haven’t even written in my cooking blog, and that one makes me money! I’ve kind of been busy, but I also just haven’t taken the time to sit down and write anything of substance. And if you [...]

Facebook as Adoption registry?
I read in the paper today that a local woman who gave up a child for adoption 30 years ago found her daughter on Facebook. I think that’s awesome; as an adopted child myself I can imagine the daughters questions and issues throughout her life. Both myself and my older sister were adopted, and neither [...]

Matters of the Heart…
My heart seems to be a common thread of things in my life these days, both for the good and the bad. The best is obviously my relationship with Ruth and how things are advancing there. Since my brother’s wedding we’ve spent a substantial amount of time together (well, I guess before it [...]

So I’ve been away for a few days to Red Deer and Calgary for my brother’s wedding. I have a new baby sister in law, which means I now have more sisters than brothers. I have a native-Canadian sister, a Japanese sister and now a Black sister. Since Ruth is a Filipino/East Indian, in order [...]

People tend to be split about Valentines day; they either love it as it is or hate it as a corporate “hallmark” holiday. Myself, I love it as a corporate “hallmark” holiday . I disagree with the need to pay twice as much for half as much choice at dinner, I [...]

Hymns, Habits and Hutterites
So it was my Grampa’s funeral on Monday. I flew to Calgary on Saturday evening on my Aeroplan points (and holy surprise of surprises they didn’t give me grief for using points!). My parents picked me up at the airport around 8 and we drove to their house in Red Deer which is [...]

The Good:
1: I had said in my New Years’ resolution blog that I’d be quit smoking by the 15th. Well, today is the 15th and it’s day 3 without a cigarette. It hasn’t been especially difficult other than the odd moment where I get a massive urge to light one up…usually [...]

Now how’d that happen?
A mostly true story:
“There’s something about you. I don’t know what it is, but it greatly intrigues me.”
“You said you weren’t in a position to go there.”
“Sigh…I did indeed. And I wasn’t. “
“And now cuz of circumstances things have changed?”
“I’m not really sure where I am now…but you’ve got that one backwards.”
“It was ten days [...]

Geek Girls – oh how I loves ‘em!
I kinda have a thing for geek girls…not sure why. Nothing like a hot, smart girl, preferrably smarter than me (although that’s not all that difficult to achieve) who can give the good lovin’ AND fix my home network. Mrrrooowwwwrrrr. Even better if she can recommend the best graphics card and help me remove the [...]

So it’s been a few weeks now that I’ve been back in dating land. In that time I’ve had 5 dates with 4 different women. Two of them had the same name. I met one at an online dating site, one thru a co-worker, one is someone i’ve kind of known (although not very well) [...]

… So it’s been like 10 years since I’ve “dated”. Well, being recently single-fied and a somewhat er… excitable male I decided it was time to jump back into that shark tank. I went on a couple different dates this weekend; all of them different and all of them fun for various reasons. I wouldn’t [...]

Hrmm…I’m single
So I finally did it. I ended my 8 year relationship with my girlfriend over the weekend. I am now looking feverishly for a place to live and trying desperately to quell the ache in my gut. It hasn’t been working for a long long time and I’ve been miserable, thus making [...]

In a foul mood
Dunno why, but I'm in a foul mood today. Played a bit of poker last night and seemed to be a bad beat magnet; lost a hundred bux in no time flat…flop a set, get rivered with a str. Flop two pair, get rivered with a set…I tell you I just can't beat shit luck. [...]
