2010

The Vancouver 2010 Olympics

You know what is stupid about this post?  I had a great idea and some thoughts that we so amazing that the fabric of reality would have bent slightly to make room for the most brilliant ideas ever conceived.  Sadly, this is not the case now since I was distracted reading something mundane (about how to control comment spam on a blog) and have since forgotten what the most amazing idea I had was.  Thankfully, my quick witted self has come up with a back up plan: here are a few shots of the things I have been doing during the Vancouver Olympics.

A very good friend of mine, Lock, dropped in last weekend and we also headed downtown to check out what was going on.  We found out: lines, lines, lines.  Oh, and a zipline too.

Before The End of January

I don't know quite what to say.  I am - again - having one of those moments where I stare at the computer screen and wonder what it is I am suppose to be writing.  I guess I am just one of those bloggers who struggles with what to write on some soft of semi-regular basis.  I think it is a personal thing that can never truly be explained in a public forum.  In fact, it is so personal, you can't find any level of confience that will let you release your inner fears.  I think the most interesting things I could tell you about is who I am in love with, who I want to beat to a pulp and who I would love to slander on the Internet.  Sadly, I won't be posting that information here.  I am a nice guy, after all.  All of the things you would like to know about me will remain safely behind the bars of my inner soul - or some such barrier I have yet to articulate in a fashion that makes sense.

In the meantime, here is a trailer I am quite sad to say exists:

No one appears to remember that the world was better with Ralph:

 

I have had an interesting week, however.  It was quite fast but still had time to meet up with long lost people and still be productive.  Jacket on, jacket off.

Hello, 2010, How Are You Today?

Moose Jaw GelatoThe first couple of days 2010 have come and almost gone, so, I thought it would be fitting to comment on my new resolutions.

Oh, wait, I didn't make any.  I suppose that means I have been sticking to them quite well.  How have you been doing with your resolutions?  I was wondering where resolutions came from.  I did a quick search and this is what I could find:

A New Years Resolution is often a lifestyle change that is generally interpreted as advantageous. The name comes from the fact that these commitments normally go into effect from New Year's Day. Some examples include resolutions to donate to the poor more often, to become more assertive, or to become more environmentally responsible.

I think that about covers is.  Thoughts about your resolutions for 2010?  Are "new decade" resolutions more important?  I think they may be since it is clean slate for everyone.
