I believe in Karma. I believe in positive energy. There is nothing better than walking into a room and just having that feeling that you are in the right spot at the right time. You have the ability to walk right up to any person and feel that they are going to have something awesome to say.
Being in a social atmosphere constantly has given me the ability to gauge a person's attitude with nothing more than a few words and their body language. You always get that same feeling of fantastic energy when you are dealing with someone that has nothing but positive vibes. It's almost as if they have a glow to them. These are the type of people that I want to surround myself with.
Have you ever had a friend that you were always attempting to prop up? They are always talking badly about themselves, trying to get you to react? Always talking about how crappy their luck was? Almost expecting bad things to happen. These are carnivores that steal my positive energy. They chew it up and vomit it back out as filth.
This isn't my usual blog. People talk about how lucky Sara and I are with our contest wins. There is no question that we are extremely lucky. I am just here to tell you that I think luck can be created.
Now I must go and lay in the grass, listening to Peter, Paul, and Mary while sipping on a herbal tea bought in the organic section of Fiddleheads.

Apparently insomnia is increasing in the younger generation. This is due to not being able to shut their brains off or wind down. Well apparently being able to shut my brain down is not a problem for me. Just eat potato chips before bed. It will put you to sleep. Being a doctor is easy.
Have you ever attempted to download a video editing program for free? You might as well walk through a dog park blindfolded. This dog park also has ass**** owners that don't pick up their dogs poop.
St. Patrick's Day was yesterday. This is a pub's waitress worst nightmare. All courtesy goes out the window and people are just staring at you like zombies from a fenced in yard.
After the Olympics end. The same thing always happens. TSN thinks that since viewership was so great for curling during that time that they should play every curling event. Then after a few months they realize that Canadians only really care about watching curling when there is a gold medal on the line. I apologize to those people wearing Jennifer Jones jerseys right now. You are in the minority. Also do they sell curling jerseys?
How do you make Turkey chili? You replace ground beef with ground turkey.
All is lost - 8.2/10
Great movie, very similar to Castaway. Robert Redford is stellar in a one man performance. It's so rare that you can actually feel yourself in the same situation that he is in while watching the movie.
Baseball is about to start up. What the hell did players do before Tommy John surgery? Pitchers would be retiring daily.
There is a tiny window of opportunity for the Jays. They really need one of their young pitchers to step up and be a number two. Drew Hutchison would be my choice to make that jump.
I know a thing or two about rocking looks that have been gone from the scene for years. I rocked a mullet way past it's expiry date. You just can't rock that soul patch. It's gone!
We have gone through some spring cleaning in the house recently. Why do I have so much stuff that is so useless? Did I really think I was going to play Trivial Pursuit on the Wii? You still have to read the damn question on the TV. I saved myself the movement of the pie on the board and that's it.
Sara's brother dominated us on a board game night again. I am beginning to run out of excuses why I haven't won in a while. My next plan is to start adding more alcohol to his beer.
People always tell me to give country music another chance. New country is so much better than old country and blah, blah, blah. As soon as I hear that twang in their voice I am out. Anybody that hates country knows exactly what I'm talking about.
You know what's going to be awesome. When I can go outside of my house again. This winter is as long as a four part series on how your driver training teacher can eat so many chips and dip on a short 15 minute break.
Sorry Adam Sandler. You have developed Eddie Murphy disease. You are not humorous to to anybody that has an IQ over 50 anymore. You must either transform into a serious actor or die a death of Gilbert Gottfried voice impressions.
Sara and I had an ultimate night of hipster glory recently. Going to a vinyl store, then to a used book store, and finally to a pub to enjoy some micro brewery beer. The complete opposite of this would be to go online and purchase the same records of Itunes, then go online and purchase the same books for their tablet. And then ultimately go to Boston Pizza to enjoy a Budweiser on tap. Which one sounds better to you?
Most answers for the above question is the following: illegally download the music, I don't read books, and I have a case of beer at home.

At one point my hometown was turning into the casino circuit when it was bringing acts to town. Kim Mitchell and Helix? This year they brought in Sloan and last year they had the Trews. You receive a Wiserhood slow clap for the turnaround.
Started to watch True Detective last night. What has gotten into Matthew McConaughey? When did he get into the conversation of best actor right now?
If you want to have a chuckle go look at Kate Hudson's IMDB list of movies she has been in over the past 20 years? It fills the stat sheet similar to Eric Hinske's career with the Jays.
For those that feel like slaves to the vote for Sara and my contests. Please shut up and continue to vote.
Rob Ford was on Jimmy Kimmel and feels as though he was embarrassed intentionally. This is a choose your own adventure ending.
a) It's a fu***** comedy show. What the fu** did you think was going to happen
b) You sweat too much.
c) Can you do something useful and eat Justin Bieber.
300: Rise of an Empire - 6.3/10
Went to the Sony event last week that Sara won tickets for. We both received wireless bluetooth speakers and Celine Dion CD's. Her face does look similar to a horse.
It was cool to be able to dress up in the breaking bad outfits and seeing all the cool technology that is going to be released. I felt terrible for the musician there. He was a solo artist that looked like he sold his soul to Sony to perform there.
I found out that there are some women that can't go to the bathroom when their husband or boyfriend are in the house. This is what a man with colitis has nightmares about. Also, What? Why?
Paul Pierce = I would rather wear an Araujo jersey.
I still can't believe that he lost a jump ball to Nate Robinson. He was almost a foot and a half taller.
People wonder how I began to cheer for the Philadelphia Flyers as a small lad. I always had a thing about going against the grain even as a child. Philadelphia had a war going on against the heavily favoured Edmonton Oilers. Everybody and their mother were cheering for Wayne Gretzky and the Oilers. I didn't want any part of this bandwagon nonsense. I wanted to cheer for the team with the crazy goaltender and the mammoth number 12 that just sat in front of the net. Also my favourite colour was orange.
Windows XP is not being supported by Microsoft anymore. The grumpy old population is up in arms again.
I might purchase a pair of those good old boy jeans. You know the really, really, really blue jeans that barely bend when you put them on.
George Strombo is taking over for Hockey Night in Canada. One thing that they changed is that they toned down Don Cherry. This was the worst thing that they did. It was awesome to see what this racist crazy old man was going to say next.
Each year that a man gets older his enjoyment for cutting the grass increases. This also applies to washing the car.
They always warn you not to run with scissors. Are there a lot of kids that run with scissors? I don't think as a child that I had the scissors in my hands that often. Not enough to be warned not to run with them.
As a child there was nothing more disappointing then having a pile of snow drop and it not being the type of snow that you could make snow balls with.
Sure fire way to cause chaos for other people up in the house hold. Make the wireless password the answer to a riddle that you left on the kitchen table.

Flying into Kitchener instead of Toronto might be the best thing that has ever been invented by anyone anywhere. You aren't going to get me on this trick again. "Oh the 401 is cut down to one lane at 2:07am on a Sunday night."
From what I saw of Chicago it seems to be a little more upscale as far as restaurants go than New York. It might have been the area of Chicago that we were in, but New York seems a lot more dinery.
Kid in front of us was chugging whiskey with only two layers of clothing on. 3 min into the second period was his demise.
Oscar's were predictable last night. For those that think DiCaprio should have won best actor. You obviously haven't seen Dallas Buyers Club yet.
Real Estate - Atlas - 8.3/10
Bigfoot Bounty is a show that offers 10 million dollars if you find Bigfoot. They raised the prize from 1 million to 10 million to entice more people to try to find Bigfoot. You might as well offer the soul of a 81 year old Korean Man or the ghost of the Crocodile Hunter in an urn.
Apparently there is interest in creature porn. Bigfoot, swamp thing, minotaur. If your interest has swayed towards these things you might have to be cutoff from the internet.
Sears was the original Amazon. You looked at those catalogs and they had everything you could possibly want. Instead of changing they are still rocking the catalogs. Who is running this company?
There is a bar in Chicago that has turtle races as part of their nightly entertainment. This would probably start off by being awesome and then turn into that episode of the Simpsons when they are watching Soccer in the stadium.
Excitement, disappointment, and being a di** all in one conversation.
Q: You into sports?
A: Yeah!
Q: Hockey, baseball, football, or basketball?
A: Football
Q: Yeah, who's your team?
A: Manchester
The Iphone 4 pictures look similar to that Dora the Explorer camera pics that you gave your nephew for Christmas last year. You looked for a Spiderman one, but all they had left was Dora.
Rush - 8.5/10
Zero expectations for this flick. Really enjoyed it in the end. Car racing is still for morons, but the movie was good.
Sara is a finalist for the Wiserhood commercial. This is a gentlemens Whiskey club. If you know anything about Sara you know that she absolutely adores straight whiskey.
Most Americans don't go to sporting events to actually watch the game. They go there to out yell the opposing teams fans while inebriated. Athletes get upset at Canadian fans because they aren't loud enough for their satisfaction. No, we just aren't idiots that cheer just for the sake of cheering.
People that watch other people play video games on Youtube? Why is this a thing?
There will hopefully never be a time in my life that I don't turn Nirvana up when it comes on my Ipod.
Went to the Imax in the museum in Chicago. They did a great job of keeping everybody awake. Having the guy sound like Morgan Freeman, playing soothing music, video of fish swimming around a reef, with super comfortable seats. More than 50% of the crowd was sleeping.
I like to think that I am super sophisticated. I then realize that my favorite part of yesterday was watching two baby turtles fight each other in the aquarium. Sara and I commentated the battle for at least five minutes.

Watching Team Canada dominate in the final two games of this tournament was nothing short of majestic. You really had that feel of Detroit Red Wings hockey throughout the whole tournament, but especially in the gold medal game. Puck possession and strong "d" were the name of the game. My MVP has got to be Drew Doughty.
Sara and I are heading to Chicago this weekend for the final one of our prizes for the Coors Light Contest. We get to witness Chicago play Pittsburgh in an outdoor game at Soldier Field. Very well could be a Stanley Cup preview. 7pm game of course. Should be nice and warm there.
Really not sure how the Canadian population goes without vacationing to somewhere warm for at least a week. This winter has been the absolute anti-christ.
My hometown has this beautiful St. Patrick's Day event that lasts two weeks. Oktoberfest is for chumps and Paddyfest is for champs. The winner by a landslide because you don't play fu***** polka.
Really like the Jimmy Kimmel segment of celebrities reading mean tweets about themselves.
Jonesing for some baseball. Both to play and to watch. I try to be active in the winter. Or I always say I will be active in the winter, but this never happens. The first step that I take out into the Arctic winter my body says "Yeah, good one Daryl. Let's just get back inside before you hurt yourself."
Dallas Buyers Club - 8.6/10
Welcome to the Jungle - 6.2/10 (Jean Claude Van Damme in a comedy role. Actually I think most of his movies are comedy's, but this one is meant to be.)
Top 3 movies of 2013
3 - Nebraska
2 - Her
1 - Hunger Games - Catching Fire
I beat Sara at Settlers of Catan last weekend. This is a feat for me since it so rarely happens. The fact that she was lying on the couch sleeping until it was her turn makes no difference to me. I will take the win.
If the American's weren't going to show up for the Bronze medal game. Couldn't they at least done something awesome like played in old school hockey gear or bringing back the 1980 American team to play the game instead. Would have been much more entertaining.
Scott Boras is ripping into the Jays about not making moves in the off season to keep the club competitive. In other news he is also the agent for Ervin Santana the last prominent starter available on the free agent market. Boras should be in the movie Wolf of Wall Street. He is the epitome of being a douchebag.
Is there a Michael Jackson dancing school? If there is not, why not?
If you put me in a an Art Museum and asked me to describe any art to you. This would be the worst way to spend your time.
There was a time in my life that I was excellent at ping pong. Not Asian excellent, but white excellent.
I am having a difficult time figuring out if I want to see Black Sabbath in Hamilton. This is my all time favorite band and I have seen them once already 15-20 years ago. This has to be the last time that they are touring and their new album is alright. Also there is very little interest from friends to go to this. One of them actually stated that he would rather see the Barenaked Ladies. It almost came to blows.
Jurassic Park could happen I think if scientists put their mind to it. The question might be. Should we really be creating dinosaurs?
I miss the mornings of mimosas. That sounds like a new Jimmy Buffet song.
Skateboarding videos of people doing tricks on the side of public stairs that have giant poles made of steel that are dangerously close to your crotch?

I think I witnessed an inbred family on the flight back from Cancun, but I can't be quite certain. Listing off all the signs of inbred families in my head makes me feel like a bad person so I stopped doing it.
Really like the reference that Sara and I are travel ninjas after we seamlessly went from Mexico to New York.
Today is the first day back to work. Ready to deal with questions involving the differences between Wireless N Dual Band 750 and Wireless Dual Band 600.
Heineken is $27.00 at the border for a 24. In case you lived in a parallel universe that didn't have cheaper alcohol at the border.
I feel you should act a certain way at a winery. It seems like the library of the alcohol world. This means that you don't suplex a woman into the snow at 12:37PM on a Saturday afternoon. Two limo's full of inebriated Americans made for some trials and tribulations in the winery area. Overall though it was a good time.
Haven't watched a lick of Olympic Hockey yet. Might watch the game against Latvia. Just can't get into it until things get serious.
Hunger Games - 9.8/10
Knights of Badassdom - 6.7/10
Secret Life of Walter Mitty - 6.9/10
Really liked both Hunger Games movies. The undertones were phenomenal in this film. Just can't get over how good of a feel you have after watching this movie. Jennifer Lawrence is once again flawless.
Beck - Morning Phase - 9.3/10
Did you enjoy Beck - Sea Change? If the answer is a positive one, then purchase this record. Straight back to the folk/blues of that album. So far it's the best album I have heard in 2014.
Here's a test. See how long you can go with just watching commercials on daytime TBS television. You will have signed up for a college and been hurt in a car accident by the end of that day.
The Jays will be quite a bit better this year is my prediction. 85-77 is my guess.
There is nothing more terrifying than a giant dog flying out of a room straight towards you while you relax watching TV. Especially when you had no idea that the person had a pet.
Sara has a month and a half remaining in Canada before she begins her Appalachian Trail adventure. Here's her trail journal if you would like to keep up with her amazing adventures.

Pushing someone's face into dessert is funny every time. The consequences of that action will always be terrible though. The fear of it happening to you is not worth the laughs you will receive.
The person that made the app flappy bird took it down. They didn't like how popular it was becoming. Have you played that game? The upkeep couldn't have been too tough. Also isn't this the reason why you make an app?
Don't like haunted houses. Some of it is obvious and some of it is not. At the House of Frankenstein in Niagara Falls everything went dark and then the lights came on. I started running for some unknown reason, and ran directly into a mirror. There were actors that asked me if I was ok. "I am fine." I say trying to hold back the whimpers of pain. This was at the age of 26.
When is the last time that the Raptors and the Leafs made the playoffs in the same year? Has it ever happened?
The Kyle Lowry dilemma is a tough one. I am almost certain that he will leave after this year. So the options are.
a) Trade him while his value is at an all time high and try to get a point guard back in the deal
b) Play it out and hope that you can resign him in the offseason while making a run at the playoffs.
c) Offer him a contract now and if he rejects. Trade him!
Why in all movies and shows does that dad always look the same when he threatens you with the belt? It looks like a version of all high school janitors should look for some reason.
When do you think Rainbow Butt Monkey's were like we need to change this band's name if anybody is going to take us seriously? You would hope that it would be the instant that they thought of that name.

Pushing someone's face into dessert is funny every time. The consequences of that action will always be terrible though. The fear of it happening to you is not worth the laughs you will receive.
The person that made the app flappy bird took it down. They didn't like how popular it was becoming. Have you played that game? The upkeep couldn't have been too tough. Also isn't this the reason why you make an app?
Don't like haunted houses. Some of it is obvious and some of it is not. At the House of Frankenstein in Niagara Falls everything went dark and then the lights came on. I started running for some unknown reason, and ran directly into a mirror. There were actors that asked me if I was ok. "I am fine." I say trying to hold back the whimpers of pain. This was at the age of 26.
When is the last time that the Raptors and the Leafs made the playoffs in the same year? Has it ever happened?
The Kyle Lowry dilemma is a tough one. I am almost certain that he will leave after this year. So the options are.
a) Trade him while his value is at an all time high and try to get a point guard back in the deal
b) Play it out and hope that you can resign him in the offseason while making a run at the playoffs.
c) Offer him a contract now and if he rejects. Trade him!
Why in all movies and shows does that dad always look the same when he threatens you with the belt? It looks like a version of all high school janitors should look for some reason.
When do you think Rainbow Butt Monkey's were like we need to change this band's name if anybody is going to take us seriously? You would hope that it would be the instant that they thought of that name.

Just got back from Cancun late last night. I can see the draw of all inclusive resorts, but they are still not for me. This resort was top notch in every regard. They had top of the line booze, food, and service. We attempted to do some excursions, but they were all the canned adrenaline type of thing. We asked if there was anything to do with hiking in the National park, spending time with a local family or seeing their culture? There were none of these things available. I guess Sara and I are in the minority when it comes to what we like on vacations. In the end to each their own, but I can tell you we would much rather spend a couple of weeks in New Zealand hiking the country side for the same amount of money that this resort was valued at.
One of the weirdest things that we witnessed was the Michael Jackson show. The performer had facial surgery done to look exactly like Michael Jackson. Isn't this doing surgery in the third person?
Nebraska - 8.9/10
It looks as though that the Olympics have been a success so far. It's interesting seeing some of the athletes dorm rooms. Routers hanging from the ceiling? One of the American Olympians was stuck in a bathroom that he had to break out of. He later was stuck in an elevator. This is Russian terrorism? Locking one American athlete all around the Olympic grounds.
Valentine's Day is today. Does anyone really feel that romantic towards this day? Don't be fooled. Celebrate a different day that you made up yourself. The day that you witnessed something amazing or went somewhere cool. Make it unique.
If you haven't read the book "Ready Player One" and are in love with the 80's, you must. I am currently reading it and it's like eating a McDonald's Big Mac that never makes you sick and never makes you fat.
This coming weekend we are going to venture into the States for some time with another couple. Wineries, snow shoeing, board gaming, visiting owls, and the jello museum will be on the docket. The last two as you probably are going to guess came to light while driving home at 2am last night.
Recently went to see one of my current fave bands Caveman. The doors opened at 7pm, and if you know anything about rock shows that they generally start anywhere from 1-2 hrs from doors opening. Caveman came out at 7:30. We missed the complete show. As a group we had equal sadness. We professed our love for the band to the person selling shirts. She then asked if we would like to meet the band. Oh yes, I professed like a 12 year old boy meeting Tim Kerr for the first time? I bought a piece of vinyl and the band signed my vinyl while proclaiming that I had such a great vibe. And no, I didn't sleep with any band members.
The owner of Imbibe has purchased the Boat House that is also in Kitchener. They are making it a place for bands to perform and are supporting all local craft beers and food. They are going to have a huge patio that will support over a 100 people. Kitchener is becoming like the cool brother of the pompous Waterloo. We all know that Cambridge is the disappointing Randy Quaid Vacation brother.
The first great of the album of the year has arrived.
Sun Kil Moon - Benji - 8.8/10
It's mainly acoustic and is extremely addictive. If you enjoy Iron and Wine or Mark Lanegan please consume.
One thing that caught my attention was seeing people baking in the sun as an activity. Can anyone explain this to me? You don't look better tanned and it's terrible for you. No reading, no music, nothing. Just laying there and baking.
If people are wondering how much junk email that Sara and I get after entering all these contests. It's a ridiculous amount. Bergdorf Goodman and Thrifty Sue are the absolute worst. I would like to put a virus on Bergdorf Goodman's server, but they would somehow sell it as fashion?
What do you guys think about an idea similar to Hotwire for restaurants? You bid on different restaurants, but you don't know which restaurant it is. If your bid is accepted you receive a 3 course meal for a much cheaper price. I know choosing restaurants is generally about what you are feeling, but if I was able to receive a dinner from the Charcoal Steak House for 50% I would take it.
