I know how long it's been

Yes, it's been a long time. I realized that it might be more important to find a job [which I did] and to get stuff in order for the summer than to update my little blog. I've heard it said that anticipation is better than the moment of satisfaction, so I guess it's all down hill for you from here. The other reason why I haven't been updating is that this is a humor blog and I've been reading a lot of serious stuff [mostly Coupland], so I was in deep-thought mode and not really up for making fun of things. Fortunately, for you, I'm back and ready to make you laugh.

Vancouver has a lot of fake diversity. Toronto is a hell of a lot more diverse than Van city because there is the "world in a city" as opposed to just a lot of Asians. Yes I'm aware that there's a huge difference between people from Hong Kong and Koreans, but quite frankly, I don't care - when it comes to ethnic diversity Asian is Asian and two ethnicities does not a diverse city make. There are a lot of "rice-rockets" in Vancouver [Asian-import cars with tons of bolted on parts]. I was walking around Yaletown with my friend for 20 years, Julia, when we came across this bumper sticker on one of the Hondas.



I have another amazing set of photos to share but I suspect that my readership has gone down significantly since it's been so long since I've updated - I'm going to save the really really good stuff until people know I'm updating again - which should be this weekend. Tell people I'm back and I'll update again - Comment so I know you've read this - once my comments get to 10 I'll know it's worth updating again.

ey chief.

Good to hear you found a job. My efforts have ended in tears. I went from having a sick internship with the bank of canada to then having nothing. The funding for interns was cut there.

I was hired at one place called "M1 Platinum" which is a marketing firm that tries to get small businesses (everything in strip malls from Subway to rub-and-tugs and to Greek mophia lounges) to switch their phone plan from Bell to Sprint. It was strictly commission and I would just do a lot of walking and harassing.

I shadowed some guy for a day and I had some of the strangest experiences in my life walking Vic Park and Sheppard Ave. So I decided not to make a summer career out of it. Now I am still looking.

I have been to 2 blue jays games though. I'm not a big baseball fan and it took enticing for someone to drag me to one of them. He had an extra ticket and it was a game against Boston... so it turned out to be an alright time.

Anyways, peace out

Ok, I'm commenting so you'll get to the good stuff. I mean a bumper sticker? Come on, I expect alot more from you. If you don't pick it up with the funny stuff I may have to start my own blog and steal all your readers and their precious laughs. Then I can use those laughs to fuel my laugh-o-death ray-o-matic machine......... The world will be mine!

How about one for the door-blockers: There are only two directions in which you can go when you enter the subway; why, oh why is it so difficult to make that decision door-blockers? And why do you have to make it while standing in my way?!
