be a man!

i was out running this morning when i ran by some yoots (youths) playing street hockey. they were blasting AC/DC's Highway to Hell!! man, i thought, there is hope for the leaders of tomorrow.

have a nice weekend. thought i'd send you off with some funny clips of russell peters dissin' the brothers.

brazillions and brazillions and brazillions of stars...

garlic.

i don't care what any geeky astronomer says. pluto will always be a planet. what would the solar system be without the planet pluto? that's like breakfast without froot loops.

i took the LRT downtown today. i first rode the bus to the LRT station. i took note of who was on the bus. 10 or 12 passengers, i guess. 4 hrs later, on the way home, 5 passengers of the original bus were on the same bus. what were the odds of that? astronomical...

i was driving home this morning from the superstore. there was a car accident right in front of the district police station. it was a pretty serious fender bender. a police car was exiting the station parking lot. one of the drivers involved in the accident, a lady, tried to flag down the cop. the cop stuck his head out his car window and shouted, "call it in, ma'am!!" he drove off.

survivor...

headlines read "survivor 13: panama canal. producers divide contestants along racial lines". interesting concept... da Man vs. black folks vs. asians (no chinese by the way) vs. hispanics vs. blah blah. yawn...

if the producers of survivor really wanted to be avant gard they should have divided the peeps according to religion. you know, jews vs. christians vs. muslims (shiite vs. sunni) vs. hindi.

why say you? look, the animosities amongst the groups are ready made. and, hey, no alliances possible.

can't wait to watch the muslims blow'd up the immunity idol, the christian crusading on the obstacle course, the jews enduring the who-can-suffer-the-longest-while-standing-on-a-beanpole challenge, or the hindus declaring shiva as their 5th, 6th, 7th, AND 8th player (how many arms does she have?).

now that's entertainment!

jokes of the day...

Two bananas are laying on the beach when a turd comes floating by and says, "Come on in, the waters great!" One banana turns to the other and says, "You believe that shit?"

The president is getting his daily briefing. The aide giving the briefing concludes with: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

leave your toothpaste at home...

gee, that was a humdinger of a storm last night. i hope we get another one tonite. lightning scares the bejeezus out of me but i really should work on the photography of it.

breaking news...

hip hip hoorah!! my ailing hip is back, but the thrill is gone. i went for a run a couple of times around the block this morning. the hip seemed ok, for that distance. now i have to work up to the distance i used to run. ugh...

the news headline on CBC newsworld reads: ALLEGED AIRLINE PLOT. apparently, the alleged terrorists were to use liquid/gel-based explosives to blow up airplanes. CBC reports passengers at pearson international airport in toronto quickly chugged their boxed juice drinks before submitting to the scrutineers of increased security. that's so canadian.

the heat wave in eastern canada is over. meteorologist in the CBC weather centre reports, to the relief of overheated easterners, that the oppressive humidity is "negligent" today.

musical interlude...

There's always a chance
A tiny spark remains...
And sparks turn into flames
And love can burn once again...
