Why We Need More Funding For Gym In Schools

It's the latest gaming craze, that's right dodge rock.

I was talking with a girl where I work and she was telling me a story about her son Tristan. They were out side and a girl from the neighborhood was over playing. While there she started throwing rocks at Tristan (Not just any rocks but the big ones that you find around railroad tracks.). Now his mom saw this happening and asked why she was throwing rocks at him, assuming that he must have hit her or something, but his reply surprised her.

"We're playing dodge rock mom!"

If this doesn't show that our schools need more funding I don't know what does! These kids only know dodge-ball as an urban legend because the physical education budget in schools has been cut so much they have to use rocks!

Or maybe the kids that are growing up now are just more "hard-core" or "x-treme" than Mike MacNeil.

Seriously???


One movie I won't be seeing. Ever.

I haven't even seen the first two so what why would I want to see the third? I really can't believe that they made another movie in this dismal series, thus making it a trilogy. Trilogies should be reserved for things like Church and Lord of the Rings.

Why won't I be rushing out to watch this flick? Here is my answer.


Cars like this annoy the heck out of me. YOU ARE DRIVING A CIVIC!!! (Not that there are anything wrong with Civics.) But they are not, and I repeat NOT a sports car by any means. As far as I am concerned these cars are evil.

Making him the Devil...or boogie-man, you pick.

Why are loud mufflers cool? What purpose does a fin on a Cavalier serve? Aren't headlights enough to make your car seen at night time by on coming traffic? These, among others are phenomenon that we owe to this new "trilogy". This is perhaps one of the worst things that Hollywood has ever unleashed on the public, a side from the Scary Movie series.

If you do happen to find yourself in the wrong theater this weekend and this pops-up on the screen instead of Nacho Libre, do me a favor. Remind yourself that the cars on the screen aren't cool. Trust me, I think that if you looked in Vin's or Paul's (Walker) garage, you wouldn't find a Civic in it.

Oh and the Random Link of the Week is Updated!!!

Back up and running...

Well after having Windows screw up on me for the....oh 6th time this year I am back on the net. Got home from work on Friday and my computer was running sluggish, so I rebooted. Bad idea.

"Windows cannot start due to missing or corrupt file."

Ok well I will just do a repair of the operating system and we're good to go. Nope. Try again, still no go. Ok I'll give in and reformat. Laid down and had a three hour nap while it was supposed to be formatting (notice I said supposed to be). I awake and rub my weary eyes to find the status bar still stuck at 0%. Needless to say after three hours this is not a good thing. Ends up my hard drive is fried. So if any of you out the want a 120 Gig paper weight, let me know.

First Post From Home!!

Well I am back in the internet world after Aliant took forever to get us our high-speed package as usual. It finally came yesterday so me and the Mrs. are back on the World Wide Web!

So I have to admit our new apartment is pretty sweet. It's been a little bit of an adjustment trying to wrap my head around the fact that this place is actually my place, not a room in my parents house or a dorm room either. It's a big one bedroom apartment in a basement, separate entrance of course. Our bedroom by the way is about 16 feet by 13 feet and has brand new Italian tile down on the floor. New fridge, new stove and the landlord is great. I'll post some pics in the future, kind of like a virtual tour.

A recap for people like Lynn about what exactly we're doing in Fredericton. We felt that it would be better for us to take a little bit of time off and get adjusted to being married before any other big moves like my internship. So we're back in Fredericton for at least a year, working and doing that kind of thing. If you want to get a hold of us, just e-mail me and I'll send you our telephone number.

That's what's going on.
