Allan Smith

Not that I knew Allan well, cousins by marriage, he was what you think of when you think of the east coast. The epitome of a true maritimer, , a character, a good soul. The first of our generation sadly. He will be missed and remembered.

Truth In Advertising Part 1.

There is no spoon Neo. I have yet to see someone on oxygen playing with a grandkid at the park. Surprised they haven't designed a backpack type oxygen tank, because that thing hanging off their shoulder will throw their balance off, they'll break a hip or cause spine or shoulder problems. Don't they know about ergonomics?

Now Onto The Serious Stuff- You Will Be Missed Mr Jobs.

Lets Clear Up The Misunderstandings

Yes, Mr Bond, I am protecting my implants by having the ear protectors on the wrong way...or am I? 



I show off my manliness by throwing around a black belt that is handicapped. We gave him a roofie before we started. 


I am THE Man! If my chest does not impress you, I will Ramboise (Verb: Ram-bow-ize. 1. To put many holes in someone or something. 2. To make something non useful anymore. 3. Finale. 4. End. 

This is why Vlad the man amuses me. If you do not hear from me again, obviously Vlad does not have the same sense of humour I do, black as it is.  

I Obviously Don't Know How This Works....

Had someone say the link doesn't work....I hate when it shows up on my computer (obviously because I've watched it already, and doesn't show up on others- by the power of Steve Jobs I command you to work!)  Sad...I've started already, and yet he was one of my hero's, other than Superman, Batman, Spiderman, Wolverine, and Vladimir Putin. Why? Because he's funny. strange, kinda like me.
So lets try a couple links and you tell me which one works. Since I'm a internet/computer dunce.

About Me

My photo
I work at a 911 centre. Yes, CENTRE! I am Canadian! So, yes I do have some stories. Not as many as you might think as you do tend to get jaded working in that environment for any length of time. And you start to think of everyone as stupid, immature, and wonder how we ever survived the dark ages as a race. We need more chlorine in the gene pool! Most people I find are afraid. Afraid of life, afraid of each other, afraid of failure, afraid of success. You big fraidy cats! Wait till the zombies come, now that's something to be truly afraid of!
