  • Things I Want to Do

    So, I stumbled on a post of mine from November 5th, 2005 and it listed some things I’d like to do in my life. The list was the following: Be in a major motion picture or quality television show Sky dive Go to Ireland Fly a plane See an imax movie Drive 200+ kph legally Read more

  • Memoirs

    My grandmother has been working on her memoirs for a few years now, and I’m hopeful she will get a great deal of it done before she passes so that I will always have a piece of her to hold on to. There are so many stories of her youth that I have no knowledge Read more

  • No More Blogging?

    No, the title isn’t about me. It seems though that my friends and family have run out of steam when it comes to blogging. MarkWood.ca – My cousin, Mark, has almost always been inconsistent about blogging, but has written many great posts in his blog since starting. Unfortunately, it has been more than a month Read more

  • The Best Best

    Jay Best, an ex-co-worker of mine from the County of Bruce, pinged me on Facebook last night. From time to time he and I chat on there about what’s new, and it reminds me of the times I enjoyed at the County. When he first got there, I was less than six months away from Read more

  • Writing Every Day is Difficult

    I had intended on writing a page of creative writing each day, but that is turning out to be harder than I thought, and trying to keep a tally of how many I need to write to make up for days I’ve missed is just causing me stress. The goal that I had set only Read more

  • Week Two Without Caffeine

    So, I have made it another week without caffeine, and other than two periods where I felt horrible and craved Coke heavily, I’m doing much better. There have been days at work where I felt as though I had a lot to do and no energy to do it, and almost cracked and just bought Read more

  • Weight Trending Downwards

    So, since giving up caffeine, I have severely cut my intake of pop, and in doing so, I’ve also become acutely aware of my weight again. Thankfully, over the last week, I’ve been trending downwards. My last weigh in a week ago read 276 pounds, but throughout the day, I haven’t gone higher than 271 Read more

  • Dissecting Tech – Page 17

    “This is really good. You guys want to try my pizza?” Chris said, with only one of the original four slices still on a tray in front of him. “None for me, thanks” Alexander said turning to look at Matthew. Matthew shook his head from side to side, as he chewed another piece of sushi. Read more

  • Dissecting Tech – Page 16

    Dropping down close to the planet’s surface, Mars became a three dimensional world with canyons and mountains strewn across its landscape. The Resurrection dipped between the peaks and valleys and the landscaped zipped on by, but was nearly unchanging. Like a desert that went on forever, Mars was aptly named the Red Planet. Chris was Read more

  • Locked Out of My Apartment

    So, I’ve been living in Georgetown for over a month now, and I’ve never needed to unlock the exterior door. It remained unlocked the entire time, and so I never needed to test that key. Unfortunately, for the first time last night, it was locked upon returning home, and I was unable to get into Read more

  • Week Without Caffeine

    So, I went a little crazy for a month when it comes to drinking Coca-cola, and so I recently cut myself off cold-turkey until I feel a bit more normal. At first, I was drinking one to wake up each day, and then after a week or two, it was one to wake up and Read more
