Amazing Grace
I feel like I’ve just been given a slap in the face by fate for entitling this post the way I did. I just found out this morning that my grandma passed away. She’d been sick for a while, and I didn’t know how much longer she’d make it. But it still doesn’t make the …
R.I.P. My Stupid Computer
Well, it’s official. my limping computer can’t limp anymore. It is a large paperweight. Today, it shut off three times while I was trying to click links. The third time, it would not turn on. the other times, I had to reach back and hit the direct power switch that supplied the juice to the …
It’s Not Quite The Same
So Track & Field has finally gotten started in Beijing and I can’t help but notice a rather obvious absence from Team Canada… and it’s not someone you might think. This is the first time in my lifetime that I have sat down to watch an Olympic Games, or really any major Canadian sporting event, …
Goodbye George
I’m sure many of you have heard by now that George Carlin, arguably the greatest comic of all time, died yesterday at age 71. Right from the day that one of my friends snuck me a copy of the A Place for My Stuff album when I was 10 years old, Carlin became one of …

That’s Not Supposed to be How the Story Ends!
Wow. This just doesn’t seem fair. Remember all the difficulties Laura Baily had in keeping her seat on city council? Well, while I was gone to Guide Dog school, she lost a battle with cancer and passed away. It doesn’t seem like the right ending to that story, does it?
Say A Prayer For The Kids Today
A little over a year ago, Iposteda short note about a Sudanese man who was forced to marry a goat after he was caught having sex with it. Well, today I have the sad duty of reporting that the goat hasdiedafter choking on a plastic bag she tried to eat while picking up scraps on …
R.I.P, Richard Jeni
I was saddened to hear about the weekend suicide of Richard Jeni, who was without a doubt one of the world’s greatest comedians. I’ve noticed a few searches in our stats looking for information on what happened to him, so I thought I would print this statement from his family. A statement from the family …
Gimme One More Shot
Well holy shit it’s my birthday! I wasn’t even going to mention it, I was just going to let it slip by, because I’m not one to brag and stuff, and I’m starting to turn into my mom, not wanting to bring up my own birthday. I used to always look at her like she …
