arrested for being awesome

Here’s the deal for today.
I have a lot of energy that would be put to better use if I was sober, but that's not really an option.
I figure I should take care of some stuff I’ve been meaning to put out there for a while.
Take my “cool shit in the mail club” for example. It’s pretty much the coolest club in town and it costs $0.00 to join. Basically, you just e-mail me your mailing address and then I send you cool shit whenever I get around to it. Keep in mind, that I said E-MAIL as opposed to LEAVE IN COMMENTS because realistically there are freaky people out there and you don’t want them knowing where you live.

Here are the perks of joining my club:

1. I am not crazy and will not stalk you.
2. You get cool shit in the mail for nothing.
3. You get to tell people you belong to a club.

As an added incentive, I should mention that I run a button making company and you therefore you cannot lose out on this deal. In fact, you should be paying me to be a part of my club. Would you like to pay me? I accept cash and all major credit cards. Feel free to do your part to keep this thing going.

Don’t take my word for it though. Check out the following testimonials from these satisfied members…

Oh, I also took the time to take over Mike's Myspace comments, so feel free to check that out as well.

way to go dude

Alright so here’s my take on ideas and planning and pretty much knowledge in general.
Mostly it’s pretty cool.
Seriously, knowing how things work and being able to use that to your advantage is, well, advantageous.
But there are a lot of people out there who think they know things, and a lot of those things are fairly contradictory. These people are great for sociological studies and applications and it’s neat how they can play out on a broader scale what happens in most of our heads on a day to day basis, but in the end they tend to be the cause of most of humanity’s problems. The solution to some, sure, but the cause to a lot more.
I think I originally had a point to make here, but the Super Mario music in the background made me lose my train of thought.
I think I was trying to say that when it comes down to it, you’ll probably be just as well off taking everything pretty easy. You know, just toss your hat into the ring and see what happens when it falls. Randomness can lead to some shitty outcomes on occasion, but on the whole you’ll be better off than if you try to control everything and fail miserably because all those things you thought you knew were just made up by a bunch of liars to make themselves look better.

Also, I just found out today that Colin Pearson is going to be opening for Matt Good at the Prince George Folkfest this year in Prince George BC. This is pretty much awesome news. It would be even better if I didn’t live way over here in Ontario, and you know, could actually go, but still, good news is good news and I won’t ruin it with my own selfish wants.

hey there internet! how’s it been?

Catch up time:

1. Everything is awesome. Well, with the exception of Waterloo University, ‘cause they don’t want me either. Everything else though? Shiny.

2. For example, right now I am eating barbecued sausages, garlic mushrooms, and roasted red peppers and I couldn’t be happier because it’s all unbelievably good.

3. That last one didn’t need to be numbered but this one does.

4.Vacation time is over, but that’s probably for the better because this new job I’m going to be starting on Monday should be a nice change, and the timing happened to coincide almost perfectly with me running out of money.

5. The other weekend we sang happy birthday to my friend Katherine karaoke style and this stuffed penguin toy jumped off the karaoke lady’s table and into my pocket and I didn’t notice until I went to the bathroom and then I was like “No! You belong on the table until they do another raffle and somebody wins you.” But then he followed me out of the bathroom to the patio and wouldn’t leave me alone until I got mad and threw him into the bushes and rid myself of him, or so I thought, because as our cab was leaving to go back to the house he came running out and dove through the half open window and into my lap. So I gave him to Katherine for her birthday because who wouldn’t want a lonely cursed penguin with a heart of gold? I think she liked him.

6. My computer is mostly broken and turns itself off if I so much as shift my position to reach for my drink whilst it is in my lap which makes doing pretty much anything into an angry-making ordeal.

7. In fact, I’m going to go ahead and call this done because I’m pretty thirsty. Seven is always hyped up as being a lucky number. I like three.
