Brett's Lisbon Adventure
| Date | General info |
| 06/30/04 | 11:15 PM Last day of the month it tis. Another one down. Today was a very productive day :@). I started the day out by missing my bus. He come on, give me a little slack, that's two days in tow months. So I waited around for the next bus for like 5 minutes then said screw it, went home and go tmy bike, back tothe bus stop and on the bus. So I ended up getting to work only like half hour later which really sin't that bad. So I did some work then went out to Subway for some dinner. Had a 6inch Chipotle something and beef streak. It was pretty decent. We sat outside and scarfed them down. Then went back to work fro a couple hours and stayed about half hour longer than normal since I was late. I stopped off at walmart on the way home. I bought me 4 pairs of boxers (so I don't have to do laundry so often) and some socks and a new battery for my watch. Funny thing my watch is, it's been acting funny ever since I beat it like a dead fish on new years. He He, do you guys remeber that, that was a good time. So I did all that and came home. Made some supper (not dinner) and then hit the bus for v-ball. We only played one real gamecause the second was sposed to be practice, but one of the teams didn't have anybody to play so we just played them. Then D (a girl on my v-ball team) asked me to go to a party tommorow, so tommorow (being Canada Day) my roomies and I are going to parliment to enjoy the festivites for a while, then heading to a massive house party. Then on friday D, I and some of her friends are going to play some beach for the day, should be a good time. Then D mention that she won't be at v-ball next week cause she's going to the switchfoot concert. I've been meaning to buy tickets for that concert for the past two weeks. So when I got home from v-ball I went downtown and bought myself a ticket. Then I went and also got a bus pass for July. Wow, what a busy/productive day I had. If only all of them could be so usefull. Probably going to go watch some tube or something then hit the sick. I haven't figured out what I'm going to beat it with yet though. Have a good night and a Happy Canada Day to you all as sob :'( there may not be a blog tommorow if I don't get time. |
| 06/29/04 | 10:15 PM Terrorism: The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons. Yes, a term we hear much to often in the last 3 years. Today I watched "fahrenheit 911". I must say it was interesting. It was decent, however I'd consider that the "W-Fives" piece on the war in Iraq was just as good. I believe that Michael Moore's primary reason for producing this film is to prevent Bush from getting re-elected. Bush's war on terrorism is a funny thing. If you take the definition of the term "terrorism" and apply it to the war on iraq you can see that the term is very effectively applied. Bush is using an unlawful force (against the UN's opinions) agains the iraqy people with the intentino of coercing the goverment, for his own "democratic" (or $$$) reasons. As for the term terror I would consider Bush's entire rule as President after 9/11 to be a rule of terror. He is able to instill instense and overwhelming fear into every American. The next terror attack is always just around the corner, imminent, in your own town/city. Looking back at Bush's campain all I see is two things. War and mad cows :). It's kinda funny that we live in a time where it is easier for a terrorist to cross into the United States then Canadian Beef. Could you imagine the impact of planing bombs in cows. When that thing goes it'll be like one giant bbq. MMM, I like hamburgers. Well, I should go to bed soon. I've been hittin the sack around 10:30 this week and it sure makes a difference when you try to do anything during the day that involves some sort of motor action or brain activity. |
| 06/28/04 | 7:45 PM It has recently come to my attention that some of you think that I am somewhater "different" perhaps even wierd because of the content and manner of my blog. Well to you people there is only one thing that I want to say. Thank you. If there is one thing that I take comfort in is that I am not normal. If I were normal I'm sure that most of you would of given up reading my blog and being my friend long ago. In this unnormalness that surrounds me people feel more accepted by society by seing the fringes of life that I live on. By talking about every random wierd thing that just happens to pop (jack in the box) into my head it actually makes you think and wonder what the hell can be going onside of my head. I'll tell you a secret. come closer, shhhh, don't tell anyone. The secret to my insanity is ... Well you obviously didn't come close enough did you. Meh, your problem. Well tonight is the big election. Who will be the next Prime Minister of Canada. Well it won't be me this year. Mainly cause I haven't got around to signing up to be the big PM. maybe in the next 4 years :). Have a good time voting tonight peeps |
| 06/27/04 | 9:50 PM Quick update from the Parkmeister. Woke up relatively early this morning, some time around 10:00 ish. Made me sone leftovers, they were pretty good. Then I went out for a run (aoubt 8k's) then came home. I decided that I better do some laundry because if I didn't then I would have to go commando until I did. So, I did a lot of laundry (three loads to be exact) and it csoted me 9 bucks. wow it can be expensie to use heat and water. After that I played video games until 6ish. Then I ate me some supper and watched "The Last of the Mohicans". which was an 'ok' movie. O, I also watched the third harry potter. It was comparable to the others I would bave to says. Well tommorow I might watch Ferenhieght 911, but we will have to see. Have a good time voting tommorow if you do so decided to do so. Night to all |
| 06/26/04 | 8:45 PM Oy, I think that is all I can say. Stupid football. Yes, I think this was the third time I was disapointed. The roughriders dindt' play last night. Why did I think they did? I thought that because I went to the website and it said they played on friday. I assumed friday was yesterday. Then 10ish rolled around and there was another football game on, so I went back to my computer and low and behold they don't play until next friday. Like honestly, two weeks off, how was i sposed to know. Oy, so I gotta wait a whole week to see them play. Well on the brightside I had a bag of chips and a bottle of coke. Ended up watchin a movie last night instead with my rommies. It was called Moonlight Mile. Wow, it was really really good. Next movie you rent should be this one. It's a little bit on the slower side but it was such a good movie, definetly good put somewhere in my favorites. I dind't wake up until around noon today. That was real nice. I made some dinner then it started raining outside. I decided to go for a bike (yes in the pouring rain). It was ok, I dind't like the path I took though. O well, I took like three pics too. I put them up in an new ottawa folder. So check them out. For the rest of tonight I think I'm going to play diablo. Been doing to much work/programming lately. Think I need a week to spend playing video games and rotting my mind :). Have a goo night all. |
| 06/25/04 | 7:30 PM It's friday. Yes it is. Another week down. Not doing alot tonight. Going to do a little bit of programming. Tonight the riders play so I'm uber stoked cause it's actually gong to be on tv. I also bought a wack load of tickets (20). why you ask? well 15 of them are for the labour day classic. Good ole traditions. Well might go make some bran muffins before the game, reallyu should go out and buy some coke and chips, perhaps I'll go do that now. Have a good night all, blog at you tommorow |
| 06/24/04 | 10:00 PM So why am I writing in my blog again tonight. The reason is I forgot to write something obviously. Today is the 24. What significance does that have? Well There is less than two months till I get to go back to Saskatchewan. The summer is almost half over. Less than 65 sleeps untill I get to see Danielle again. YAY 6:30 PM Hmm, early blog. Well if this is going to be a long one I might as well do it now while I'm not half dozing off. The topic of todays blog, well it comes from my blog last weekend. Lets just say it involves womens attire. I'm sure you've all heard of a store called La Senza. If you have not heard of it yet it's a popular store that is almost every mall specializing in women's undergarments. Me, being the libral man of the 00's (pronounced o's) don't shy away. For men however this store is one unlike any others. Many rules and responsibilties of the man kingdom can be found in this small ecosystem. The number one rule, Never go in without a woman. If you go into a store like this by yourself as a man, or with a guy friend you look like a huge pervert. Well, maybe you don't, but sure as heck your not going to feel comforatable. It is quite possible that you are going to buy a nice present for your wife or girlfriend but who knows. Even if you were that is why guys have friends who are girls. Rule number 2: if you are in the store with a women (which is perfectly acceptable) make you sure you stay close to her and keep your eyes on her at all times. Do not go looking at other woman and what they are buying. The last thing you want is just to be lookin around a girl give you a nasty look. She'll be all like "I know you just trying to imagine what I look like in these you dirty man". Your all like "no, I was just trying to wonder how those things work. I mean I've flossed my teeth with strings larger than that." If suddenly in all the confusion you lose your friend girl, just think, your all alone, nobody around to justify your reason for being in the store. To every one in the store you must constantly be associated with that single person who you came with. There should be no question in those people's mind that the only reason you are in that store is because she dragged you, kicking and screaming. Rule #3, the worst, scariest, and most important rule of all: when a women is trying something on find another man. Don't just sit around the changing rooms like at the women trying there delicates on. It just doens't look good, not only are you in the store all by yourself but you are not even looking at the merchandise, just standing there, all alone, all out of your natural niche. If you find another man, hopefully standing by the dressing room then you form a bond. It's like "hey man" and he's like "hey, sup" and then just stand there. This might seem of little significance but believe me, it's one of the most important bonds you can form with another man. It's the bond of "there's two of us guys here, what the heck are you going to do about it." You both understand each other toils, each others pains, each other. I tell you, if you put George Bush and Sadam Hussain (however you spell that) in a La Senza, well the Iraqi war never would of happened. Cultural differences would of been bridged, and perhaps they both could of shared there incredible arogance as both wanting to the biggest man in the world (compensating for something?) the one who was most feared and most hated. Heh, funny, I bet of current world leaders (well maybe before Sadam was captured) that they were the two most hated men in the world. One fighting for his crazy beliefs and opresing his people, the other a money grubbing, power freak who will scare the people of his country to finish what his father started. Wow, that blog took a quick turn. Honestly I never planned it. Who would of thought that bra's and world leaders could end up in the same blog. Well, onto the rest of my blog. MMMM, for dinner today (that is lunch, yes lunch, you heard me) I had the largest piece of steak you have ever seen. MMM, I'm not quite sure on the size but I would have to say about 16 onces. Foot long, four inches wides, and an inch and a quarter deep, now that's a cow. It was good. I have not had steak or a bbq in a while so quite refreshed I was. Hmm, just thought of tommorow blog. Well tty all l8r |
| 06/23/04 | 10:30 PM Heh, heh, sorry about the blog on the side there yesterday. Missed an html tag. I usually just write then go to be so I never really check it, ocasionally things don't look so good, my bad. had v-ball tonight. It was ok, we didn't win a game but meh, what can you do. Afterwords we went out and had a beer and some Nacho's. I kinda wanted to go home but this was the frist time my whole team wanted to go out so i thought i better go in order to build a little team spirt. Wow, the week is more than half over. Two days left. Then next week is a short one. YAY Canada Day. MMMM, tommorow for dinner, we are having a barbeque with the peeps I work with. We are getting giant steaks (we have to pay for them, but hey, I'm not a farmers daughter). So looking forward to some nice half cooked cow. It's will taste so good I'll be able to hear it moo. Off to bed I shall go, when I wake no one will know, for in the morning I got to and fro but it's 5 in the freakin mornin don't ya know. Tommorow I'll promise you a nice long blog about some abstract thing that you have no interst in. Kinda like every other blog entry eh? :-) |
| 06/22/04 | 9:55 PM Hey all. Today was a half decent day. Got a fair amount of sleep. Went out for dinner for more Indian food with my workmates. I liked it a little better this time. I think I'm going to start going to bed earlier because the lack of sleep I've been getting for the last couple weeks has been incredibally hard on my boyd. So hi ho hi ho, off to sleep I go. Ok, so I lied, I'm going to put a movie on and crawl into bed, but hey it's a start don't you think? Tommorow I have v-ball so the blog will probably be a later one. Night all. |
| 06/21/04 | 8:15 PM Bee bee da bee bee, bee bee da bee bee. Thanks for tuning in everybody we are live here with breaking news. We are going to go to Brett Park live in from of his computer in Ottawa to see what's happening. So Brett, what do things look like from over there? "Well, it's simply amazing, I have never seen a sight like this before, never. There are people in the streets, people everywhere. This may be one of the biggest things that has ever happened." That's great Brett, we know joing George Georgerson covering some other story about the iraq war. Cause you always know there is something on cnn or in the news about the iraq war. Anywho, work kinda sucked today. I was uber tired and just couldn't get anything right. O well, monday is over. After I got home I plunked myself infront of the tube, watched a little StarTrek Voyagar at some food. Then I watched the Terminal. I'd definetly give it two thumbs up. But then again it has Tom Hanks, when was the last time you have seen a bad movie with Tom Hanks in it. In case you people don't know today history was made. The first manned public spacecraft entered space today. This may not seem significant to some of you but let me assure you it is. If you look at commen trends goverments always get into things first. They do things first and it costs them billions of dollars, they don't have much success, and they always drop the possibilities for a tax cut. Once it gets in the hand of the public/commercial sector BANG. People do things fro fractions of the cost, twice as fast, and twice as good. In a few decades (poosibly in my time) space travel will be a things of luxury much as the first flights were. Signing off from channel B news, Me. |
| 06/20/04 | 10:35 PM Wow am I tired. Oy, sleepy me need. So I guess I had to write again in order to tell you about yada yada yada. But you left out the best part. Nope, I mentioned the bisk. So I guess I have to give a little background. There are two major magazine for the Macintosh (as in apple):MacAddict and MacWorld. Anywho both of these magazines include cd's with there magazine that contains lots of programs on them. On friday I got an email asking me if they could include my program in the August edition of Macworld. So friday night I spent a few hours working on my program and adding some new stuff before I gave it to them to put it on the cd. That is why I was so stoked. So I didn't sleep alot due to the work. I think I'm really going to pay for it this week. I'm sunday and I'm uber tired, only 5 days to go. So, off to sleep I shall go. 12:15 PM Here come a real good update. So yesterday Drew got here around 2ish. We sat around and just hang out for about an hour or so trying to decide what to do. So eventually we decided to go shoppin. So we took a walk by the canal to the mall. Shopped around looking at the various items that the masses had for sale. I ended up buying a shirt. It's pretty nice. Well, in reality the only reason that I bought it is that it has New Found Glory on the front. It was cheap because it was a shirt from there last album. Really I dont' care, it's new found glory. Drew bought some stuff from la senza. That is always an experience of it self and I personally think it deserves it's own blog today, but not today. Then after we finished shopping we went to a irish pub for supper. It was pretty good. Then we walked downtown stopped off at the LCBO and headed back to my place. We sat around in my room chatting for like 5 odd hours give or take then headed out to another pub aroun 11 or 12ish. We sat at the pub and chatted and listened to music until about 3ish. Came home talked for like a couple minutes then I fall asleep. Go figure, me fall asleep. Meh, so we both were up around 9:30ish which was way to early but what can ya do. After about an hour or so Drew left me never to be seen again for two months. Sorry about the lack of pictures. The pic here is basically one of the only ones I got :'( I forgot to bring my camera when we went to the mall. I brought it to the pub but my batteries were dead. Sa lavi. All in all I must say that Drew and I had an amazingly awsome time. I actually just got back from biking. I wasn't going to go but I figured the best way to get rid of a hangover is to excerise. This lesson was first learned last summer after one of the many tales of "Dave and Brett's Adventure" dum da da dum. Onto a new topic. The Saskatchewan Roughriders. Boourns. I was so stoked cause I was going to watch a full Roughrider game on the tele today. Guess what? It's broadcasted on sportsnet west. For some odd bloody reason sportsnet WEST is not broadcasted here. So I don't get to watch my game. I was looking forward to that like all week. Back to chicken milk. I was googeling some stuff today and what ran through my head but "I wonder if someone actually produces chicken milk?". Truth betold I could not find any. But I did find a cartoon involving chicken milk. I'd recommend giving it a quick look. Alright, blog is getting long here time to rap it up. Well today is Father's Day. I would like to wish a very happy and enjoyable Father's Day to my Dad. You have been an amazing role model. I have learned immeasurable things about life and people and how people should be from your guidance. Granted I do veer off from that once in a while (or quite often :-P) in my everlasting cookyness (blame that on mom, all on mom) but I always have your voice of reason in the back of my head. Thanks Dad, I loveyou. Off for a shower and some food I go. "But wait" says the avid blogger. "There is some profound thing that made Brett stay up till 6:30 on friday. He never wrote about it in his blog. What was it, what was it. I have to know. It's slowly pining away at the center of all that I am." To this I say tough doodoo. I said tommorow yesterday, and it's still tommorow today. But what does this all mean? It means there will be another blog today. So hold on to your hats cause Daddys got a new pair of shoes. |
| 06/19/04 | 2:00 PM Hey everybody, thought I'd write in a quick blog here. I'm just waiting for Drew to get here. Did I mention she was coming? She should be here in any minute. All in all this has been an awsome weekend and it's only Saturday. Why? Well I'm going to make you wait untill tommorow untill I tell you that, he he he. But lets just say that I dind't get to sleep until 6:30 this morning, oy. Hopefully I'll post some pics of Drew and Mines excursion. My photoserver is kinda being a pain in the buttocks at the mo but hopefully it fixes itself. |
| 06/18/04 | 9:45 PM Well, it's friday night and I'm home all by myself. This may sound sad to you but I'm getting old and just don't have the goose in my gun like I used to. Drew is coming to visit me. YAY, I like visitors. So I figured I better stay home tonight and conserve my money because only fun things could happen when me and Drew do Ottawa. I added a click me button underneath the picture if you haven't noticed. If you click the button a random pic shows up, and your page won't reload either so it should be pretty quick, it only takes like a second for me. Did I mention drew is coming to visit me. Yeah. So you may ask "why does the awsome Brettmeister do all this work for his website?" Well the truth of it is... Everybody has photo albums. Pictures of people, times, and just crazy things that they want to remember in there lives. A moment in time captured for a couple decades until the photos degrade to the point you can no longer see them. During this time the photos sit in a closet somewhere collecting dust and slowly portraying a time that is no longer. The sad part is these memories only get brought out ever few years, like when your friends come home with you to visit (Thanks mom). So I emplore you, change it. Put your memories on the internet, a place where all your friends and family can view them and guess what? They never faid. But how do I put them on the internet you say? Did I mention drew is coming in like less than 15 hours, eh he. If you haven't seen alot of this time and effor I put into my website is not for my enjoyment. It's for my friends and my family, and my friends friends and family. So if you have a bunch of pictures in the closet take them out, find a scanner (almost everyone has one), and spend a couple hours of your day so everyone else can enjoy your memories as well. If you actually get up the want to do this then email me. If not, well, I guess the next time I come to your house you can pull the photos out and I can take one last look at those memories soon to fade. Wow, this feels like an infolog. he he, infolog, Yes Drew is coming to visit, why do you ask? Well, off to do some more work on my website. Hope you all had a good friday night. |
| 06/17/04 | 9:50 PM Gooday all. Well today was kinda busy and long. Did the normal work thing. Then I went and got my hair cut for like $10, well it was actually only $8.50 but I'm like what the hell, for 8.5 I think they deserve a tip. So I did that then I came home and went biking for an hour. Then when I got back I did some excerises and decided to go for a jog. So I jogged for another half hour. Came home and had a nice shower. No popsicle was present this time though. Then me and a roomy went downtown to get some groceries. I bought me all the fixins to make bran muffins from scratch, mmmm. So that is what I have been doing for liek the last half hour. Fortuneatly in twenty minutes I will have fresh home made bran muffins WITH raisons. YUMMY. Since I have been writing rather long blogs in the last couple days I'll give you a break tonight and give you one of my nice long rants in the days to come. I'm sure you just can't wait. |
| 06/16/04 | 10:45 PM
Went o play some v-ball. It was ok tonight. We won one game out of 6. Yeah, then I got home and went for a shower. You know something I discovered that is rather pleasurable in the shower? Eating a popsicle. You get the nice warm water trickling from the shower head and you also get the cold sweat juice to suckle on. I think you shoudl try it no matter how wierd it sounds, yes try everything that i tell you to do. Speaking of interesting eating. Some of you mave have heard of this, but other havne't obviously. So you wake up in the morning and your need that pick me up, yet you are health concious and feel partially responsible to yoru won body. What do you do? There is coffe for the pick me up as always, and yogurt in the fridge for that healthy start to the day. Here is what I propose. Caffienated yoguart. Trust me it's not as bad as it sounds, I've tried it. you take yogurt and mix in some cofee or other wake me up beverage. It's rather amazing actually. A person would think that this mixture would taste so well. However in reality what it tastes like is exactly what it is. You get two distinct flavor, one of yogurt and the other of coffee. There is no intermixing at all. Really a feat of modern mixology. So try it, you never know, you might just like it. I think I've tortured you enough for tonight 4:20 PM 47 days - 30 pages - 15000 words - 700 spelling mistakes - over 1000 visits. Nuff said. |
| 06/15/04 | 11:15 PM It's blog time it's blog time, la la la la la it's blog time. Well gooday to all in weblog land. Today was somewhat of an intersting day. I had to stay a little longger at work because we had a meeting which was all fine. Then I came home and it is my roomies birthday today. So we went out for supper. Now you see my roomate is very cultured, yes rather cultured I would say so we out for an Indian Buffet (as in food from India). It was one of those curry houses that Kirstin used to always boast about how she loved them soo much. Well, for my first experience I would have to say it was different. It wasn't bad. I tried pretty much everything they had and at least half of I would not be able to eat in any type of quantity. The spiced didn't bother me but some of the flavors were just a little off from what I'm used to eating in Saskatchewany. All in all it was a good experience and I might consider eating Indian once and a while, but not too often. Then again if I did eat there more often I'm sure I would get used to it pretty quick. Yes, Indian food. Also, I managed to create a new buzzword. In my absent mindedness I was thinking as we were eating and someone was talking about soy milk. So I'm thinking what other animals could you get milk from. Suddenly i blurt out "Can you get milk from a chicken"? Then about a tenth of a second I realized what I had said. Stupid me, you need mammilary glands to make milk and chickens aren't mammals. Everyone got quite a riot out of that. So all in all the buzzphrase is chicken milk. Like if your talking about something that's just not possible. Like "A good politician as prime minister? You have to be kidding, that's chicken milk". I'm sure your saying, what? that's stupid!!! But try saying it. It really does flow very nicely, chicken milk, chicken milk, chicken milk and pretty soon you'll find it floating into your vocab just as I have found in the last 5 or 6 hours. The other question is why don't we ever drink milk from other creatures. I mean we have cow milk, goat milk, but where o where is the pig milk? the cat milk? the dog milk? How many people have cats or dogs? Think of all the money that could save by just drinking pet milk. Yes, so after we got home I watched some "Sex in the City" for the first time. Didn't think that it was that great of a show but it could of been worse. Another late night for me, off to get some sleep I go, and as a radiant being I shall glow. In my bed all snug and warm, dreams all about me swarm and swarm. Wishing I could be in that place so dear, nothing scary, nothing to fear. Another couple months and this obstacle we shall defeat, because soon in these dream and soon we shall meet. It's blog time it's blog time, la la la la la la it's blog time. |
| 06/14/04 | 10:45 PM Wow am I tired. I dind't have to get up so early today cause there was a meeting thing I had to go to so I actually got like 7 hours of sleep last night but I'm super tired cause I wnet biking far again tonight, probably 25 or so K, mayber farther. Then I watched an ep or two of clone high did some computer stuff, know I'm off to bed, sleep is soo much needed. Night all |
| 06/13/04 | 9:10 PM Today I did not do alot. I worked on a program for a couple hours recoding some stuff. Other than that I just kind of sat around. Wow, my life has become a little boring in the last couple days. It's getting hard to keep the blog entertaining since I do not do much. Well, what can I say, from the start I told you that I really never did anything of any interest. I just got back from a walk. Went downtown to deposit my paycheck which I receieved like two weeks ago. The good news is that I get paid again this week :) When I was downtown I stopped by a Macs store. I am personally disapointed in the Macs stores here (for those of you who don't know Macs is basically a 7-11 type outfit). There are tons of them. There are two within two block of me, actually they are closer to each other than I am to either of them. And there is another one about 5 or 6 blocks downtown. They are everwhere. This does not make them bad. The reason that I am disapointed is the slurpee selection. In Saskatchewan by the lonely U of R campus there is a Macs store. It has 8, yes 8 slurpee types. About 6 blocks from there resides another Macs with at least 6 types. If you go to 7-11 they usually also contain around 8 types of slurpees. Here, the most I have ever seen is 4. That is pathetic. I think Ottawa is *slightly* larger than Regina yet we have twice as many slurpee flavors. Why is this? Just ask yourself why. Are we really so different. We are all made of ice, and sugar, and syrupy goo. Do we have to fight? Why can't we all just, get along? (Vote for me, I want an oscar, oscar, oscar!!!!). Whatever you do don't come out here for the slurpees. The weather here was rather nice today, 25 and humid. I started watching "Clockwork Orange" last night. It was a little twisted. I only managed to get about half an hour in before I fell asleep. O well maybe I'll finish it tonight. Off to the races I go |

Well, I woke up at about 11ish. Made some lunch. Then I sat in front of the picture box and watched "When harry met Sally". I thought it was a real good movie as I had never seen it before. Yeah, I would recomend it, it was rather good. So after that I decided to go for a bike. I think I managed to get about 20km or so. It was a realy nice bike down by ther river. However, unfortunety I forgot to bring my camera so I don't have any pictures today. Then I went to the grocery store and bought me some milk and a whole watermelon. MMMM watermelon. I ate about half of it tonight. Tommorow the other half dissapears. Tonight I have not done alot, watched a little more tv, did a little searchin on the web. Yep, not to exciting. Well I spose I will promise you a long blog tommorow since the last two daves have been short. |
| 06/11/04 | Midnight + 1.5 hours No I did not miss today, I just got about 2 minutes ago so it still counts for todays blog. I went out to see "SuperSize Me" at the theatre. It was really good. I would recommend to you anyone. Apararently fast food is bad for ya, who would of thought deep fried food was good for you? Well not because I've been eating it for three years. Today is a short blog. |
| 06/10/04 | 9:15 PM is that they are very willing to ... If you have notidea what this is perhaps you should read the blog from this morning cause it kinda comes before this one. Actually how about you just read all of the blogs that you havem issed in the last week and then come back to this one. Anywho, the reason I am more scared of people with tatoos is that they are very much willing to dissapoint their mothers. Once you intentionally cross that line you enter a whole new stage of inhumanity. First a tatoo, then murder. It all happens cause you don't car what your mother thinks. Why don't I have a tatoo? I don't *always* obey my mothers every command but I always take her opinions seriously before I completely disregard them. Just rember, a tatoo is just a starter crime. Next it's robbery, pety theft and the like. Speaking of stealing things I would like to take this time in yoru day to meantion that Little lee know has a blog also. O, and Tara. Hmm, do I see a snowball effect? Well perhaps I actually did come up with a usefull blog. Normally people write in these things and nobody ever ever ever reads them. But for some reason people actually read my blog. I know this because you are reading it right now :-) If people really want I might consider putting up a complete blog section on my site. So if you want me to do that so you can write your own blog then email or msn me and let me know, if enough people want it I'll make it. Also I would like to mention that my eldest sis Renee and her boyfriend Earl have finally got engaged. They have been dating for like 4 or 5 years and everyone has known that they were going to get married some day. But with Earl somebody was just that, someday. Fortunetly he finall, o did I mention finally? proposed. Suprinsgly enough my sis said yes, what a suprprise. Congradulations. Love you both. Mioght watch a movie tonight, we shall see. O, here are some pics of them Click Me 7:00 AM This should make you all happy, 3 blog entries in just over 24 hours. Making up for lost time I am I am. Lol, so what happened between 10:33 last night and 7 this morning. Not a hel of a lot. Talked on the phone for about an hour then I went to bed and woke up an hour and a half ago. What kind of enlightening things can I provide in this mornings blog? You see, the other day I was biking after work down by the canal. The weather was rather hot, around 30ish and as you could imagine there were many people oot and aboot. All types of people, men and women, children, dogs, fat people, skinny people, acward people, the interesting thing that I noticed it people without their shirts on. Sadly enough, this may be Ottawa (where women are allowed to wonder in public without a shirt on) but none choose to do so. What does that have to do with this blog? Absolutely nothing. Ever notice how I ask alot of retorical questions? Want to know why? Meh, I don't know. Back to my story. Can we have a pool dad, can we have a pool dad, can we have a pool dad. Men were the ones without the shirts. Some were built up pretty good ripling until their necks dissapeared, other were skinny and feeble looking, and the odd one's cleavage was bouncing (I miss moobs). Out of all these types of people the one that I would most be afraid of is any single one of them that had a tatoo. Tatoos are aparantly all the rage to some people. Marking your body with symbol that mean something or just look kewl. I don't say that I'm afraid of these people because they managaed to suffer through the pain to get one (I'm sure it doesn't even compare a fraction to that of child birth p.s. Glad I'm not a women) but the part that scares me the most is that they are very willing to ... he he, I'm evil. The blog shall be continued tonight. Talk about a cliffhanger. |
| 06/9/04 | 10:33 PM Well Two time in one day? does that make up for missing yesterday? So I know it doesn't there is no excuse. I played me a little bit of v-ball tonight. It was ok. I wish the caliber was a little higher, but then again I'm used to playing with Dave. Me and Dave play with each other so well. If he was here we could play in the two people beach v-ball, that would rock. O well candy bars and pip dreams. i made some more branmuffins cause they are yummy. I think however that next time I'm going to buy the actual bran flakes and make the myself cause I think they are more nutritious and cheaper that way. And I so gotta buy raisons. Honestly, Now take me serious here for a minute if you can do that. The raisions almost make the muffin. I know your laughing, but seriously, a Bran muffins without a raison is just a large heap of ceement. you NEED the raisons in order to prived the break from the dryness and take you to a whole nother sweet suculious level Speaking of muffins (some of you may of heard this story) but as yo umay know I decided to expand my class horizon last semester in taking another odd-ball class. So I took Philosophy 242 which is the philosophy of Religion. So I thought this class was going to be easy. I like to think, i like to ponder relgion and such matters. Well, I sat down to write my first exam and I had a pretty decent idea of what was taught in class. One of the therios that we learned tried to concieve that God exists because if we think of the most magnifant being that could ever exist and tried to picture God as that being. Since we could concieve of this being existing than it is not the greatest being that could exist and a greater one must. Now you don't have to understand this theory in order to read my blog, but what you should know was i took this theory and in my ingenous wisdom I tried to play the funny card. So the conclusion that I came up with is that this theory can be applied to muffins. As in think of the greatest muffin, it';s not the greatest cause it can bne thought of, therefore a greater muffin exists, Yada Yada Yada. To end this three page easy I asked that question that everyone was asking. Possibly one of the most important questions that everyone wants to ask, to know the answer to but they are all so very afraid. But yes, i did ask this question. I asked "The real question is, Does God have raisons?". Needless to say I got something like 5 out of 10 on that essay, grrrrr. O well, you can't bake them all. That is me story for tonight. If your really lucky I might write again tommorow morning just to make up for my o so very numurous lackings. Have a great night and I hope you are all having a good day, and if not smile cause you know I will make a stupid joke that is so insanely lame and unfunny that will make you laugh or smile in even the worst of cases. And if not, well I still have enough padding/insulation from winter to give good hugs. Love you all, night. 7:00 AM Sadly, once again I missed my blog last night. Sorry people. Already the cost have been high. One person is inflicting person damage to themselves do the horrible stress of not getting enough blog which they are so addicted to. The other is suffering from mental illness and manic depression due to the lack funny one liners that my blog is know for. Buy your toilet fan TODAY!!!! Well, last night went out for a bike, got back, sent an email or two, then ate some food that one of my roomies made. Then we watched a show on the whole bush/9-11 thing that was on fifth estate, I told talked to Danielle and went to bed. So it was not a very exciting day to report on. However it was 31 which was rather nice. Really didn't feel that hot I would say just about right. Well tonight I have v-ball and it's sposed to be raining so it should be an interesting time. TTYL |
| 06/7/04 | 6:30 PM Short blog tonight. I'm goign out to a bar to watch the hockey game. It's not everdya that you see a canadian team fighting for the cup in the 7th games. Well it's been over 10 years anyways. Other than that I went biking again tonight. I decided to take a new plan when it come to my knee (which I'm sure you all sick of hearing me whine about). But rather than just staying off of it and hoping it will get better (which hasn't worked for the past two months) I decided to take more of an active plan. Biking doens't hurt it that much so I figure I'm going to start biking, not alot, but just enough to strengthen the muscles and such so it's stronger. I guess I'll probably find out how well that approach is working pretty quick. If I can't walk by the end of the week I'll let ya know. Off soon, tty all l8r. |
| 06/6/04 | 7:00 PM So, I promised you a long blog. The question really is can I deliver. I really don't know what I'm going to talk about yet, but just so your remeber it's not deliver it's dejourno (trademark of some meaningless company). So last weekend when Natalie was visiting me we were walking and talking and at one point we were talking politics or something of the sorts. The thought came up about me being Prime Minister. Up until that point I'd always never wanted to be the Prime Minister. Sure, all kids at one point wanted to be the Prime Minister or the President, well the ignorant kids anyways, but I always thought different. Who really want's to be the Prime Minister, just leading Canada in an endless circle of promising good and giving ok or less. Well for some reason at the moment I actually contemplated it. Funny thing, me and my Giant Gargantoues ego never bothered to think if I could be the PM cause (thanks Mom and Dad) I guess to this day I still believe that I can do anything, It's just a matter of what I want to do. So I started to think if I really wanted to be the PM. Politicians, nobody loves them everybody should vote for one. Could I be a good politician? I dont' mean a succusfull one (Remember, giant ego) but a great one, a person who people like, who people trust, who people want to lead, or would I get lost somewhere in the many years of trying to be one. Would I have to lower my standards and kiss many butts and be disloyal to myself, my beliefs, and the people that I represented in order to be a succuss? Cause if that is the case, No I do not want to be the PM. The major part of the problem is that the PM is not voted by the public, they are voted by a party. Is it possibly to find a party that a regular proper person can become head of without becoming swine? Oy, I think this is why I never wanted to contemplate this before. Ok, so say I'm goign to be Prime Minister, is it actually possible for one person to make a difference? Sure I could say that I would increase funding to Health Care, Education, Foreign Aid, Better Highways, Lower Greenhouse Emissions, More jobs, Yada Yada Yada but everyone knows that this cannot happend. As in everything the money has to come from somewhere, from someone. Is this the plague of all the past parties (minus the ones that just took the money for themselves). Have all the PM's in the past wanted to do good, incite change, and make a difference? Did they just fall victim to the fact that nothing can be done without money? I guess we shall never know. Would it be possible for me to take a wage cut just to put that extra cut back into Canada? I hope so. Well, I think you have to be somehting like 40 in order to be a PM, I can't really find out what the prereqs are for PM on the web. But anywho, I've got at least another 20 years to figure it out. Maybe I will be the PM, at least I could give it an honest shot. If you fail for being honest and loyal to your beliefs then you really haven't failed. Well, in other notes, I made bran muffins last night, not like from scratch, the "add water" type, they are pretty decent though. Today I woke up and made some dinner. Went for a short bike cause my knee was bothering me. Bought me some new Sunglasses since I forgot the ones Dave gave me in Regina (yes I am stupid). Then I took a few more pics that I posted on the photo site (which is back up again) under "Ottawa June 6, 04. They are kinda all similiar, not may of them, but o well. O, got me a new roomy yesterday. She is pretty kewl, we klick pretty good. So me house is full, what a change from last month, but I think she's all gonna work out. Well I hope that was a long enough blog for you all. I could probably ramble on about nothing for a while longer, but off to your own misery I shall let you go |
| 06/5/04 | 9:10 PM
Hello everybody. Well the hockey game is on. The first period is over and the score is still 0-0. What did I do today? Well, I got up around 11ish and found out the program I released last night woudn't run on anybodys computer due to a stupid problem. so I spent like an hour updating that as fast as I could. O well, what you gonna do. The I made some dinner, alphagetti and went to the store. WOW, did I ever buy alot of groceries. I was walking home and by the time I was 3 blocks away I was stopping about every half block to give my arms a rest. I had 9 bags in total and alot of it was not light. I finally made it home then I sat down and watched me some telivision. Then the new roomy moved in. Then I took her on a little tour and showed her the grocery store and stuff. So we got home around 7 and I made some chilli. Now I'm watchin the game hoping calgary can take the stanley cup from the americans, I mean tampa bay, he he he. Well, today is goign to be another short one, but I promise you tommorow will be a nice long blog sessions for all you blogophiles. |
| 06/4/04 | 11:05 PM Phew, I can finally rest for o, about 8 hourse (to sleep). I finally got my program far enough for anohter release (been workin on it for like two weeks). Besides that I don't really have alot to talk about. I watched "The Day After Tommorow" yesterday. Wow, it was absolutely, positively, outragously ok. If you've seen "Deep Impact" or "Armagedon" you've seen this movie. You think they could figure out some format other than develop relationship for an hour and half. Nobody listening to the guy who knows it all. Family being reunited in a moment of beauty and man kind, enduring through all to see another day. Yah, cause that's real life. Whatever, I'd give it a dvd rental if you have no other options. Exna on the day after tommorow eh. |
| 06/3/04 | 10:15 PM Good Evening all. How are you all doing today? Well I am really tired, thanks for asking. You see after I finished writing in my blog yesterday (around 11 PM) I decided to watch a movie. So (on Natalies advise) I watched the mean girls. I was expecting alot. To my suprise it was pretty funny. I was tired, and I stayed awake much must meen it was pretty good cause the Lord knows I could I sleep through anything if I'm tired. If you have the opertunity to watch it, go ahead. He He, funny story I forgot to mention last night. Before me and v-ball girl got to the pub last night we were driving trying to get there. Once we got downtown I had a pretty good idea where we were going. So I was playing navigator. We were on a main road and eventually wanted to turn left. All fine and dandy right? Think again. As it turns out there were like no left turning streets for about 6 blocks. After we couldn't find anymore roads to turn on we realized that we were on our way into Hull. EEEE. So we got to Hull and were looking for a place to turn around, however, that did not go so well. We ended up in St. Louis or somehting like that on our way to Montreal. I told her we should just take it as a sign and go to Montreal. She disagreed. So we finally turned around and went back but we sure did take the long way there. I'd also like to take the time in my busy schedule to say some words about my girlfriend. Danielle, I love you. You are the most amazing women I have ever met and I never want to leave your side (unfortunetly occasionally I have to go on four months trips, this being the first and hopefully the last). Your incrediable passion for others and complete selflessness makes me want to be a better person and help others. Thanks you for being there when I have been upset and thank you even more for putting up with a really weird, selfcentered, egotistical, stubborn man who is the happiest man ever simply because you let him love you. Well, night to all. |
| 06/2/04 | 10:50 PM My Day (abridged): Well, got home from work, ate some sups, then took the bus (and my bike) to close to where my v-ball game was. Then I biked the last 3ish kilometeres. I wsa there early and non of my teamates were there, but they eventally showed up. if you don't remeber I'm playing 4 person competitive beach volleyball. It was fun. My team isn't that great, but I think we are going to be not to bad, it's all for fun anyways. My knee was pissing me off though. O well, I'm sure that if it gets bad enough it will just fall off and I'll grow a new one. The afterwards I threw my bike into the cars of one of the grils from my team and we went to the pub to get some beer and wings. The beer was drank and the beer were eatin then I came home and had a nice long shower, and so I sit in a towel. I'm sure there is more to say, but I gotta head to bed. Night All. And sweet perogies. |
| 06/1/04 | 5:45 PM I would like to start out by saying Happy aniversary to my Blog. Think, it was only a month ago that I had my first blog entry. Almost brings a tear to my eye. I'd like to think that Blog and I have grown closer every day that we have been together and that are better people/blogs for it. Well, it's hard to believe but in the last 30 days the blog has been visited over 760 visits. That is over 25 visits a day. Not too bad for the boring life I lead. I bet 23 of the 25 are my mom wondering if I'm still alive. Or perhaps it's the cops making sure that mom's not going to call them and tell them I'm missing. Wow, I was tired this morning, really could of used some extra sleep. Why was I awake so late (well midnightish), I was watching the hockey game. Unfortuneatley Calgary loss, must of been raining to much, put there flame out or something. So, the other day Nat and I were talking and were talking about one of my friends who's last name is Brown. One way or another our names got mixed and it got coheirced into Brett Brown. So I started thinking, Brett Brown, that is an awsome name. I could be like some kind of superhero. (place theme music here) Blazing Brett Brown, he keeps the crime down, moving o so fancy free, just like him I wish I could be. For if you need help, your life he will save, O Brett Brown, you are so brave. Into the skys and up to the sun, no one he can't beat, not anyone. But once daylight shall shine, his name shall not be mine, to his job he shall go, programming to and fro. For this hero is in disguise, he seems just like one of they guys, but underneath it all he stands uber tall. A computer geek he shall always be, but hey, that super hero computer geek is me. Yeah, superheros eh. Do you know what really cheeses me off, paying for grocery bags. Like at superstore, If I buy something from your store you should be able to chip in the extra 2 cents to pay for a bag. Like really, If I go and buy some freezer bags from the store I don't want to have to pay money to get a bag to carry my bags in. I already bought bags, why do I have to buy a bag for the bags? Maybe freezer bags should just come with a handle. I think that's long enough for tonight, to my batcave, uhhh, I mean ibook I go. To thwart off evil at every click, make sure the computers don't get sick, that is my mission, my goal, my creed, and to the forces of evil never shall I head. |
