Everybody knows what a jailbreak is, correct?  Well welcome to my Black Friday morning.  twenty customers coming at me for IPAD's, and I only had one gun.

Toronto fans finally have something to cheer about, the Argos!  That stinks!

Proud new owner of the board game Ticket to Ride.  Watch the show called Tabletop.  It has Wil Wheaton playing some board games with celebrities.  You might think boardgames are for nerds, and that may be so, but next time you are watching The Voice or whatever other crappy reality show that you are watching.  Think to yourself, would I be having a better time strategically building train tracks from Winnipeg to Portland? 

Peter Bishop from Fringe is slowly turning into Neo from the Matrix, Cool! (Derek Zoolander tone)

Draft beer makes brain foggy.

Flute solos in music are dicey.  Only so many Aqualong's out there. 

People at bowling alleys seem to hate their jobs. Here's an example.  He also wouldn't allow late friends to join our lane.  They had to have their own lane. 

"Can we have the lanes down at the other end."
"No, we need to put you in order."
"Why?"
"We just need to put you in order."
"Are the lanes reserved?"
"No, I just want to put you in order."
"Alright, thanks!"
"I put you on the other end."

Black Friday will hopefully be the successor to Boxing Day in retail.  There is nothing worse then getting up at 5am the day after Christmas to go into work and being harassed by people that have been waiting outside in -10 degree weather for three hours.

Which term is better?  White Girl Problems or First World Problems? 

I have caught myself swearing and groaning at the computer when I accidentally click on Itunes to open up.

There are a few sports you can look like you know what you are doing at, even if you aren't that great at them.  When you see me dribble a basketball you know instantly that I am terrible.

There is a whole station on XM about Fantasy Football.  This blows my mind, what's even worse is that I listen to it every so often.

Can you tell by talking to someone on the phone if they are big or not?

John Gibbons eh?  I will give him a small window of opportunity before scrutinizing.

I really enjoy that commercial that has the car that honks the horn when someone is doing something inappropriate.  I would love this technology to exist with some creepy people that I know.  The dude that goes in for the inappropriate hug when he barely knows the girl.  Or the guy that gives inappropriate compliments about a girls body with multiple people around. 

Don't send out pictures of any part of your body on your phone.  Is there ever a situation that this doesn't come back to haunt you.

The Wii U has come out with very little fanfare.  Remember the original Wii, and the madness that ensued for a full year after it's release.

I wish I had built in lip chap on my lips.  It's very tough to look manly putting it on.

You are not supposed to grocery shop hungry, this also goes for LCBO shopping while stressed out or angry.

I almost wish that I didn't watch the Tribe Called Quest documentary.  It's really hard to like Q-Tip after watching it.

Received a compliment at work the other day.  Was called Matthew McConaughey from Dazed in Confused with my brown leather jacket and beautiful moustache.  I also assume she was talking about my hidden six pack under my work shirt.

Come on spell check, you should know celebrity last names.

Stayed at a really nice Bed and Breakfast over the past weekend near Shelbourne.  If you don't know anything about Shelbourne, join the club.  They have one pub that looks like it's been shutdown because of under-age drinking.

Do you know anyone that gets excited about receiving a message from a game on Facebook?  "Oh Johnny has sent me a message from Farmville 2.  How Awesome!"

Are you the type of person that makes every conversation sound like an emergency?  Stop it! You stress me out by just talking to you.


I finally have a moustache worth getting excited over.  I can grow handlebars fairly well, and feel pretty good about myself doing it.  Handle bars don't look as tough on me as I envisioned though.

If you have blonde hair, and can't grow the Hulk Hogan handle bars, just raise money for Men's health, save yourself the shame.

Black Friday is coming up soon in the States.  Waiting at the border for hours to go shopping.  I would rather have my eyelashes set on fire.

I find it funny to think that back in the '80s that it was cool to wear as little clothing as possible in the winter for dudes.  They would wear jeans and a jean jacket with a Scorpions patch on it.  Being warm was not cool in the '80s.  The cigarette would keep you warm enough.

Art is something I will never fully understand.  I don't think I can even come up with one sentence that would make me sound intelligent.

Does the bassist for every band have to be the least attractive?

I ordered a 6 pack of Birra Moretti at the Beer Store the other day.  I received the cold stare from the guys that worked there that beer was in the furthest depths of the Beer Store cold room.


The wink is a lost art form, when pulled off properly it can be a useful weapon.  When it's not executed properly it either looks like you have a lazy eye or you are extremely drunk.  Use with caution.

As a child I remember getting grass stains on my pants was cool.  Now getting grass stains on your pants makes you look like an idiot.

Is anything better then a peanut butter and banana sandwich?

If you are looking for a business venture in the food business, check out "Zoup" in Waterloo.  They are busy every single day, and are looking for new owners.

Are you the person that makes posts that always involve you bitching about friends minding their own business? Always deleting friends from Facebook, or deleting your Facebook constantly because of issues?  I am already sick of writing this.  Next topic!

We have enough flavored vodka's.  Geez, I don't need my Caesar to taste like marshmellows.

Toronto Blue Jays may have just made the biggest trade in baseball history.  Fans really need to come support this team now.  After all we have to pay the 150 million they just picked up in salary.

People look at you odd when you are a dude singing "Scrubs" by Destiny's Child.

NHL: lockout - 0/10

If you are the type of person that gets mad at an associate at a retail store because they don't have something in stock that you are looking for.  You should be kicked in the groin.

Sara and I are going to a Bed and Breakfast this weekend in Shelbourne to continue our Bruce Trail trek.  The guy that owns the place is a former chef, and will be preparing a beautiful meal for us.  He drops us off at the start of the trek, and prepares our breakfast before the hike. Can't really beat service like that.  Also if I won the lottery this would be the start of my blog every time.

Spanish is going fairly smoothly.  When the teacher speaks to me in Spanish though it sounds like the Charlie Brown teacher.

Mumford and Sons, and  Of Monsters and Men should get into a hipster canoe together near Algonquin Park and fight bears for a living.  That should keep them from making crappy music for a while.

 Even if I really enjoy a song, as soon as it becomes a commercial I instantly hate it.

It's ridiculous that Remembrance Day is not a holiday.

When I attempted to spell check ridiculous it gave me supercilious as the only spelling option. 

There's nothing manly about putting hand cream on when you are a dude, but it's a necessary evil.  Even when they call it a man hide on the commercials it's still not tough.

Holiday Party is coming up very shortly.  The one thing about working with a younger group, the Holiday Party is a party.

Call of Duty Black Ops came out a couple of days ago.  In other news Red Bull and Doritos sales are on the rise.

The two places you will hear the organ.  Going to Church and going to a Doors concert.  Coincidence I think not.

Fist bump or handshake, just be consistent.

Have you ever listened into a conversation where two people weren't listening to each other and were talking about two completely different topics?  It's very strange and confusing.

When the bathroom stall door doesn't open for you.  Before you try to push it more aggressively look for feet under the door.  Don't keep pushing the door.  This is a simple life lesson for stupid people.

Oscar Salazar is a very good name for a Spanish person.

The US election is today.  It's the first time that I actually feel a little nervous about an election that wasn't Canadian.

Do you remember the Simpsons episode when Homer runs for Sanitation Commissioner and wins with all of these ridiculous promises?  Then after a couple of weeks they are out of money and garbage is all over the streets.  Welcome to Mitt Romney's time as President.


There is all this talk of Michael Vick being replaced as the starter in Philly.  I watched maybe ten minutes of that game and he was running for his life nearly every single time that he dropped back.  Michael Vick might be the only thing that has kept you from being winless.  Put Tom Brady or Eli Manning behind that line and see what happens.

Anytime TSN advertises that there is a Friendly  Rugby match between Canada and Samoa, you know that they are hurting for hockey.

Fringe has been unbelievably good so far this season.  JJ Abrams other shows, Revolution and Alcatraz.  Not as good.

Ping Pong, badminton, and dodgeball are very underrated sports.

Don't ever tell anyone that they dropped their pocket.  The joke is never good, and the laughs that you will receive are pity laughs.

It doesn't matter what situation that I am in.  If I see somebody racing an animal I will laugh.

There is no way to beat a bear in a hot dog eating contest.

I am in that terrible in between stage of my moustache looking like dirt on my face.

We have a VIP sale at the shop on Nov 22nd.  Come see me if you want any deals for the Xmas season.

Total Recall - 4.8/10
Neighborhood Watch - 6.9/10

Going back and watching all the Battlestar Galactica's again.  I can understand why I wanted to costume Baltar all of the time.  He is a perfectly utilized fantastic character.

Do you ever tell stories that bore even yourself?  Well, you can imagine how we feel.  I have never had the guts to tell somebody that they are boring.  I have only known one person to do that, and I am jealous of him.

Aerosmith is releasing a new album soon.  I feel the same emotion hearing that Dominik Hasek was making a comeback to the NHL.

Bow and Arrow and a sword is all that I would need in a zombie apocalypse.

Why do my eyebrows always raise when Cypress Hill comes on my Ipod during shuffle?
