Cold

2007-01-26T02:04:14Z

I don't know what the temperature is today. I don't care. In Toronto it is damn cold. How cold? Too cold for politeness. Cold enough that you just run into the street, not waiting for the lights. I almost got hit by a car, which would have b...

I've slipped the noose...

2007-01-24T18:29:11Z

In the time since my last post and now, I've done something incredible: I've become truly free. My choices, both the legs crossed, polite, and tucked in choices, and ( my fondest memories ) the spread legged, obscenity howling, spit flying, hang...

Customers vs. Investors

2006-12-30T17:49:49Z

This distinction is lost here. We allegedly have a free market system in place. Supposedly we are a quasi-capitalist country. However, I can't help but notice that as Canadians, we don't properly excercise our power as consumers. Sadly, not e...

Hot stuff...

Cell Phones in Canada ( a victim's lament)

2006-12-22T19:32:28Z

Ok, I have to quickly say that cell phones here suck. I just paid a damn fortune for 1/3 the service that i had in the Philippines. Robbery. Simply robbery. Vomitous. Much more on this as the bills come in.

Plane flight

2006-12-22T15:55:29Z

I realized some very important things about myself in the crucible of the 17.5+ hour flight back to grey Toronto Town. It seems that I have passed a critical phase in life: I was next to a screaming toddler and a howling baby for the trip. Mean...

Woefully...

2006-12-20T23:50:59Z
