The race, flying, and old friends
Wow. It has been insane over the course of the last few days. A LOT has been going on so I will do my best to try and get all of it into a post today. Let’s start with my very first geocaching event. This took place this past Saturday in Moncton and there were … Continue reading
A second chance…
So today I started my first official day as an employee of Oracle Canada. The days of Whitehill and Skywire and now past me and I move forward wth new opportunities that may arise as a result of now working for the world’s largest enterprise software company. With that being said, I can’t help but … Continue reading
It has been a trying week
I wish I could say that the week in general was good, but I think that would be a little more fiction than fact. It’s not that it was a BAD week, just that it was a hard week. Lack of sleep, upset babies, work troubles, stupid drivers, stupid parkers, and geocaching jerk offs. So, … Continue reading
The reason I quit doing VAJ Magazine
Interesting thing I found this morning. I’m on the Moncton Locals message board and this guy posted a video from 13 years ago. It’s from FuzzFest ’95. Now, VAJ didn’t officially end until quite awhile later, but FuzzFest was the start of my realization that bands were not getting better. If you check out this … Continue reading

My trip back to Poughkeepsie
I decided that I was going to wait until I had a few minutes to spare before I sat down and wrote out this particular post. Mostly because I thought it would likely be a long post, and would have some both humourous and serious moments to it. So, if you are interested in a … Continue reading
Stand By Me
It’s 2am and I had to go for a drive. I thought that maybe the drive would help, but as Tamara suggested, I am now taking a stab at writing. The headline of this post reflects the name of a movie that is now 21 years old. This movie came out in 1986 and I … Continue reading
Were you affected by Hanna-Barbera?
Although this is not a story from my past per ce, I can say that as a kid, I definitely watched shows like Scooby Doo and The Flintstones. I came across this article today which reports that Joseph Barbera of the infamous Hanna-Barbera team died. I love watching The Flintstones, Scooby, and even shows like … Continue reading
12 years ago…
I punched my name into Google this morning and did a little bit of digging and I stumbled upon this page which contains a list of posts I made to Usenet 12 years ago. Wow! Hard to fathom the fact I’ve been doing the net that long, let alone finding material from those days. Kinda … Continue reading
Getting the crap beaten out of you
I?m reading the morning news about how some crazy guy got out of Renous and threatened to jump off the 12th floor of the Assomption building here in Moncton and I notice one of the names in the article. Steven Rooney. Now, I have no idea whether or not this is the same Steven Rooney … Continue reading
