My favorite Xmas gift for 2009

Someone was asking me the other day what my favorite Christmas gift was this past year. I have to admit.. I got lucky this Christmas.

Here it is my favorite gift, the 1977 Mattel Electronics Auto Race handheld game that my girlfriend found for me on eBay. I had mentioned it to her in passing months ago.

30 year later I still kick ass playing it.

Race on!

The Constipator is at a gym near you

This is what not to look like when working out at the gym. I call this workout look of mine "The Constipator" for obvious reasons. It's the one sure way to scare animals and small children away.

Every gym has a "Constipator". If this man is within your sight, approach with caution.

Apartments for rent! Cheap!

I stumbled upon a burned down apartment building here in Ottawa earlier today. It's almost surreal to look at.

My Green Man Addiction

A couple of weeks ago I bought an addictive little game for my iPhone called Doodle Jump. 500 games later I'm admitting here in public that I have an addiction to my new little green friend.

Never a big gamer myself it takes quite a bit for me to get hooked. But I am and I'm coping.

Give it a shot and try to beat my 30,323 high score.

I dare you.

The Casual Blogger and Slacker is Back!

Well hello again.

I was catching up today to some RSS feeds I regularly read when I came across posterous.com, a new blogging service for the casual user. Curious about it I decided to try it out and here I am with my first blog entry in over a year. It has been a while.

I’ve been an on again off again blogger since 2001 when I first joined livejournal. For me it’s always been a fun outlet to dump off random stories, lies and deceptions to a non-existent audience. Exempt from that audience description is you the drunken late night blog reader currently absorbing these empty words. Hello!

In the past I’ve stayed away from blogging when things got rough. Who wants to hear a sad clown whine? Not me. And life was pretty rough for me both personally and professionaly in 2009. I’m not going to go down that road in this blog, let’s just say I’m glad 2009 is over and done with. Thanks to a couple of amazing girls in my life I survived and now feel better than ever. That first girl is my soon to be 3 year old daughter Mira. She’s the most entertaining human being alive who is changing and evolving everyday. She’s going to be one cool chick when she grows up. On this blog I hope to share some of the parental comedy that she relentlessly throws my way. There's never a dull moment when my daughter is in the room. The second is my girlfriend Sharlene who keeps me inspired and laughing everyday. I consider myself very lucky to have her in my life. She's a trooper to deal with me that's for sure.

The storm has been weathered and I’m now ready to dump more random brain farts, observations and fun discoveries unto the internet. Watch out little world, some more stink is coming your way.

Keep on Truckin!
