I went drinking last night. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve drank before, but this time, maybe I’m just older now. I got home around morningish and clogged the sink. Note to self: If you need to throw up, throw up in the toilet.

Apple Pippin Game Machine

Can you believe Apple, APPLE COMPUTERS, marketed this game machine under their brand in the 90s. Apparently it came out when Playstation and N64 were battling it out. Like, less than 50,000 of them were ever made, and it looks gay.

My question is, why the heck is controller one plugged into the second controller port? Was this some special technique to draw in gamers? Or maybe it didn’t do so well because people couldn’t play the friggen thing plugged into the wrong controller port. I’d also like to say the control for this thing looks advance for its time!

Backpacking Across Canada

Sigh, so I’ve been back in Toronto for a couple of months now and my itch has already started to act up again. I need to travel! I need the freedom and unpredictability of backpacking.

But anyways, my sister just bought a place in Calgary (can you believe that is Calgary’s flag?) so that means I’ll have a place to stay in western Canada. The plan is to finish up my uni prerequisites, then, a final farewell trip through Canada before I buckle down and settle into this boring western lifestyle. Or maybe I’ll go teach English in Vietnam.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!! Why does a city have its own flag?

Book Review: The Intelligent Investor

Jez, this is my fourth time reading this book, and although it may sound dull and look dull, it isn’t all that dull. If you got some money (at least $10,000+) laying around then read this book.

Warren Buffet read this book and built a $6,000,000,000+ on its principles. Food for thought.

I super recommend this book as I will probably end up reading several more times in the coming years.

Depressing Post Breakup Days

May 8, 2008 – 11:06 pm

Wake up in the morning
Its not even six o clock
Drag on some pants
Put on the scrubs
Look into the mirror
But your eyes can’t see
Open them
You know Its time to leave
Now its the washroom mirror
Another defeat
You don’t look
You just brush your teeth
Broom broom broom
Its electric fun
Colgate vitality
The cavity gun
now Breakfast.
but you don’t eat.
you just leave the door
Singing to the floor
Dad asks how you doing
But no reply.
You let your eyes close
Thoughts drift inside
In fifteen minutes
Open your eyes
Your at the hospital
But your not here to die
Punch in
Now its ‘good mornings’
‘How you doing?’
No, but I’m not fine
Just work. Don’t mind the time
Close your eyes
It’ll be fine
Now its lunch time
Hungry as a hippo
but you don’t eat
All you want to do is share at your feet
Then its back to work,
Then the locker room
Another long feat
Fake goodbyes that you struggle to meet
Now dad is here
But your to tired to see
All you can think about
Is about Christine
Get home
you Finally eat
Then close the door
To drown in defeat.
The Phone beeps
No, Its a false alarm
No messages either
Just in the memory
So you watch the clock
Tick tick tick
But you cannot sleep
So you count some sheep
God damn
Another long day today
Better get some sleep
She’ll be back
You’ll see
