Sherlock Holmes and other observations

1. Deduction is only as good the knowledge you have, Sherlock Holmes couldn't tell you where you've been by the mud on your shoes, if he didn't know anything about mud or shoes.
2. If it weren't for the sun in the sky we wouldn't know that we had to tell time, much less how to tell time.
3. I like large chunks of meat roasted slowly, but without vegetables nearby they just don't taste the same
4. 17 people agree you can't tell the difference
5. Microwaves have gotten better and cheaper over time, just like every other technology.  Except the bow and arrow and the concrete sundial, those things are expensive now.
6. You have no idea what i'm talking about in number 4.
7. The next point is a lie
8. that last point was the truth
9. number 7 and 8 make up a paradox
10. there had to be 10 points or i just didn't feel good about calling this a list.

A month in the new place

Technically i've been living here since Feb 1st, but really i've only been in here since Valentine's Day.  So after a month here, I realize a few things.  Apartment buildings are noisier than houses, the garbage room is not too far away, laundry is expensive, and I don't like sleeping on my new couch.  I've been sleeping on a pull out couch this whole time, because I don't have a bed yet (I had to throw out mine because of the mould problem).  I'm still looking for a good place to go, my cousin suggested a place where I can get a whole queen bed for $300, but finding that much money is nigh impossible.

The Waiting (Is the hardest part)

I know posting lyrics has go to be one of the lowest forms of communication, but hey if you are hooked on a song why not revel in it!

By Tom Petty

Oh baby don't it feel like heaven right now
Don't it feel like something from a dream
Yeah I've never known nothing quite like this
Don't it feel like tonight might never be again
We know better than to try and pretend
Baby no one coulda ever told me 'bout this
I said yeah yeah

Chorus
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you see one more card
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Well yeah I might have chased a couple women around
All it ever got me was down
Then there were those that made me feel good
But never as good as I'm feeling right now
Baby you're the only one that's ever known how
To make me wanna live like I wanna live now
I said yeah yeah

Chorus
The waiting is the hardest part
Every day you get one more yard
You take it on faith, you take it to the heart
The waiting is the hardest part

Oh don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you
Don't let it kill you baby, don't let it get to you
I'll be your bleedin' heart, I'll be your cryin' fool
Don't let this go too far

Website Design

It's been pretty fun getting back into creative design.  I'm making a website for a non-profit group based here in Niagara Region, and it is so much fun!  I'll be posting on here when I'm done...

House hunting.

The worst time to look for a house is now.  I found one that was willing to take me, but I just could not afford the monthly rent.  The biggest problems I've been having is credit checks and inflated prices.  The prices here are so high because a landlord could rent a 2 bedroom apartment to 2 students for $500 a piece, so why should they take in any less than that.  It's been a thorn in my side this whole time.

Christmas in Magnetewan

There is just nothing like spending Christmas with someone you haven't seen in years.  In my case it was my grandmother.  She lives some 4 hours away up in Magnetewan Township, specifically in Ahmic Harbour, and I haven't been able to go and see her in about 8 or 9 years.  It was such a lovely time, with more food than there really should have been, and since we were up north for almost 3 days we had LOTS of leftovers.  I wouldn't have traded it for anything, although I wish I had taken more pictures.

Well stay frosty, and Happy Christmas!

Job Search and House Hunting

It's beginning to dawn on me that computer repair isn't the business it used to be.  People are more informed now, and it's easier to get the information.  Which means more people are fixing their own computers.  And then add to that the number of computer technicians in this city and now you've got problems finding a job.  I  may have to find a new career.  Maybe something without so much customer interaction.  Maybe I need to go to college too.  Well I don't have a lease anymore so I suppose that means I could go to another city for college.  That being said I would like to pursue a career in video games.  So since my beta testing days are now over what with public beta tests happening all the time, and now alpha tests are done by the artists and programmers that make the game, I'm going to have to find out what I'm good at.  3D modelling, texturing, or programming.
