Going to the Everglades was eye opening.  You always think that alligators are this vicious creature.  They barely bothered us.  We setup camp right beside the swamp area where there were gators and snakes.  They wanted nothing to do with us.  As I wanted nothing to do with them.

There were points on the second day where I really didn't want to be there anymore.  It had just rained, everything was muddy, and sitting in the tent was hard on the back.  I toughed it out and the third and fourth day were very rewarding.  At the time when you are doing it all, you just think to yourself.  What the hell am I doing?  Then you kind of just go with the flow and start enjoying the smaller things.  It was a challenging experience that I would rather not do again right away, but it was rewarding.

Mosquito's should be the vampires of the insect world, and just turn to ash when the sun hits them.

 I feel bad for people with a southern accent.  It doesn't matter how smart you are, you sound like an idiot.

There was a lot of Sufjan Stevens played on the holiday.  Have a listen to the Illinoise album again if you haven't heard it lately.  The vibe of the record is amazing.

Silverlings Playbook - 9.8/10

I thought that nothing could beat Argo for my film of the year, but this movie might have done it.  Every cast member is perfect.  Script is brilliant, should win best screenplay by a landslide.

Ravens/49ers Superbowl and the Flyers are 0-3.  Not the way I wanted to start off my trek back to the real world.

NHL Centre Ice is $49.99 from Rogers for the whole season, just a FYI.

Who stops dead in their tracks at the bottom of an escalator at 1:30am while people are trying to get to their luggage?

We ate a lot of Slim Jim's on our trip.  I am not sure why Macho Man loved them so much.  They are pretty mediocre and don't compare to Pepperettes.

Do any of you women get embarrassed about reading 50 shades of Grey knowing it's literary porn, as guys do watching porn?  When I see a woman reading that book at work, I just wonder what is this doing for you here?  It's like a dude bringing a penthouse into the lunch room.

Next time that you do something that is very tiresome, have a coca cola and some doritos.  I guarantee you will feel better and grosser at the same time.

How can they make bug masks more attractive for the average person?

I don't care what the name of your baby is at 2:00am on a flight back to 17 below Niagara Falls, NY. 

 Why aren't ribs made more often?  They are unbelievable when done properly.  Maybe it's because of the way you look after you eat the ribs.  How did I get rib sauce on my forehead?

I wish old 80's WWE wrestlers were real.  Hanging out with guys like the Iron Sheik and the Junkyard Dog would make my day.  Having the Junkyard Dog being racist towards himself is very strange though.

Do you have to be evil if you are an oil tycoon?

Jewish Rabbi's look tough.  They did a great job at looking good for what they believe in.  This would be a must if I were to believe in something.  You can't wear something that you are embarrassed about for the rest of your life.

If you want to get your point across to a company.  Write a handwritten letter and then send it their head office.  You mean business when you spend time writing a letter. You are old and crazy, but you mean business.
