It seems as though the people of Calgary have lost their sense of personal space. At least, when it comes to public transit. There should be weight sensors in all of the trains that prevent the train from moving if there is too much weight in any one car. Then they should set the maximum …

Sweater-vests
I don’t get it. Sweaters are supposed to keep you warm, while vests lack sleeves in order to be cooler (so I assume). Why the heck would I want a warm chest while my arms freeze. If anything, I’d say that my trunk can take care of itself; give me an inverse vest! That would look silly. Imagine …
Plagiarist
Lindsay has been doing a lot of reading lately about plagiarism. It’s a serious concern for artists I would imagine. Perhaps my views on software piracy relate here, people justify software theft by saying that it’s just 1’s and 0’s on the Internet. Well a book is just ink stains on paper, should I be allowed to scan a best selling …
Sooo bored.
And a little bit stressed about money. My current job either needs to provide a raise, or full time hours, or I need a new job. All of those options are difficult to ask for. Difficult to talk about even. It’s been a very long time since I’ve had stress about money. I’m not used to it. It was so eazy …
Ahhh!
I moved my computer into the living room today and attached it to the television screen, I also dug up my wireless keyboard and mouse. I may have to do this more often. I’m a little proud of my computer, it’s the first one that I built from scratch using all new and actually decent parts. I’ve got an Antec …
My daily routine.
For your approval, something about myself. I’m not really very interesting though. I’m also terrible at remembering details. My past is a haze really, a few points stand out but the details and events leading to those points are clouded and ephemeral. It’s tough to tell a story that has nothing but a couple of climaxes with no back …
An update.
So I’ve been considering my next big purchase, and it really is kind of a big one. I want a MacBook. I don’t need one, I just want it. I wan’t it even more when I find things like this on the Internets. It just seems so handy! Of course, a big purchase like this one will require some saving. So saving I will …
An exercise in descriptive verbiage.
The base roughly one fifth of the total height of the object, and silver in colour. It has the reflective quality of dull metal and a very slightly rough visible texturing. The width of the base is approximately half again the width of the rest of the object. The edges of the object appear vertical, there …
Do you know where your food comes from?
I have no idea. Well, that’s not entirely true. For the last year-ish I’ve been paying more attention to what I eat. I realized early on that I actually give a shit about the quality of food that I consume. The “happiness” of the animal seems to directly relate to how good it tastes. Pasture finished steaks seem more tender, …
I wrote this yesterday…
I’m sitting in my basement behind my drumset, My snare drum is acting as a desk, and my throne, an office chair. It’s a pretty good start I’d say, because I’m finally writing. I’ve always wanted to write, but I guess I’ve never really sat down and done it. That was a foolish mistake on my part. I know that …
