Good morning Torontonians. Welcome to another disappointing Canadian moment. Can you say Beijing in 2008? I knew you could.

I feel for the people who lined up at 7am to get their free pancake and coffee, no doubt sponsored in part by the Canadian Olympic Comittee, to generate false excitement just in case we got the bid. This would have been a great moment. The TV camera will pan across Union station, showing the world how excited us Toronto folks are at getting the games. Genuine? No, of course not, hopped up on free pancakes and coffee would get me all revved and ready to go too! What they should have served was humble pie. I happen to have the definitive recipe for making that dish, as I've had my share of it.

Come on peeps, did you really think we were gonna get the games? Of course not. I'm not a pessimist per se, but look at the larger picture. When has Canada done anything wrong to piss off the world? Nothing. We're too good, we're too nice. Nab dangit, even our maple syrup tastes better.

You see, this new global partnership is based on the concept of "bones"; as in, "Throw me a freaking bone here."

China, being the evil communist country, with no human rights whatsoever, is the perfect candidate to show the world that there is global harmony. "We're embracing China, who is our brethren. Let us all celebrate in the human spirit and our desire to compete fairly." What they're saying is that: we hope by giving China the Olympics, they will obligated to curb the red tape and bureaucracy when we decide to start businesses over there.

See, the world don't owe Canadians a lick. Sure, the UN stiffed us by ranking us the third best country in the world, but otherwise, we're not politically important.

Just as well, I really didn't want the five ringed circus here anyway. The next 6 years would have been terrible with traffic and all. What bugs me is the amount of cash we threw away to the Olympic bid; that smarts. We could have used the money more wisely for other things, like cheaper housing for the public.

Please don't bid for the 2012 games. Please dont.

....Ah heck, we're Canadians, we've always been satisifed with second place. It's "good enough...." posted by losir at 1:55 PM

Have you ever wondered how you grew up knowing some stuff that you weren't born to know? For example, how does one know how to throw a football properly?

Well, I know exactly who to thank. My cousin Joyce. Babs, thanks for showing me how to toss the ol' pigskin, a skill I probably would have never acquired if it wasn't for you. I'm not ashamed to admit that a girl taught me how to throw, far from it. Babs was your average tomboy, cute, athletic, and just fun to pal around with. She was by far the coolest of the bunch from my mom's side. Anyway, I know you're getting married, so just a brief "Congratz" is in order here. I know who'd have control in that marriage. Hey Babs, you can always toss the silverwear at him if he gets out of line.

....and for you doubters; no, I don't throw like a girl.

Oh, by the way, here's photographic proof that I do know a couple of women. It was horrendously expensive to get them all to take a picture with me, but I think it was worth it in the end, don't you?

Geez, I can be such a loser sometimes.

Got a good update for you folks tonite. Was doing this while I was waiting for my stuff to compile.

Gash dangit. Another one bites the dust.

This is getting to be no fun. Another buddy leaving the Company, one less person to slack with, how weird.

Well, that is all I'm gonna say about that!

We had a semi-surprise party for Ojisan (formerally known as TN), I think he kinda knew something was up, when 2 girls ask him out to dinner, and yet it's a table for 10. No duh! Bought him 2 plastic models that he can assemble together in his spare time. You know those Japanese anime robots? Yeah, 2 of those. Now he can spend countless hours mock fighting and posing them. Isn't that fun? You bet!

Yoyo has some pix of his friends and I goofing it up at D&B and Mute's house. As yet, he hasn't given them to me. Hehem... hint hint, nudge nudge, wink wink.

That's it for today.

....I just realize how much I hate computers.

People complaining about being tired at work is always met with this one sage advise. "Drink some coffee."

Well, what they really mean is, "Ingest enough caffeine into your system to raise your heartbeat so your body can think it's more awake than it is."

However, I have found a better remedy. Water.

Although water does not have any caffeine or additives (does chlorin keep you up?), it does fill your bladder and make you go pee, lots. Because of this, constantly drinking water will make you visit the washroom at an extremely frequent rate. You get up more often, thereby lessening the chances you'll fall asleep at your desk; and just the movement of motion will keep you from snoozing. Simple, ain't it??

Of course, coffee makes me go poop, and theoretically, allows me to leave my desk for longer stretches of time. However, I'm worried that I'll fall asleep while flinging a number two, which can't be good.

....I need to sleep more.
