A Chicken #2
I feel bad for that chicken I ate a week ago (if you haven't read, please see previous posts).
That chicken didn't do anything to me? Would you want someone putting you on the barbecue and eating you? I think not!
Why can some vegetarians eat chicken? It doesn't make sense. I may ban myself from eating any chickens for the next little while...at least until I get over the thought of eating that poor thing.
In honour of the chicken, please find the following poem:
An ode to a chicken.
A chicken is lonely,
running in his pen,
waiting for the butcher,
those drity old men.
"Please don't put me on the barbecue,"
"I really don't taste that fine",
come here little chicken,
For you I'm going to dine.
I really don't know what all that means. There isn't any special hidden meaning. But i ask you to think about it next time you have some poultry.
Bond Flag Football
The Football League started this evening on the Rugby fields. Despite a few early glitches, the evening was an overall success. Regrettably, our team lost. 'The Rockets'
injuries didn't help our cause...however, Matty has given notice that he is a player to be reckoned with.
Things to watch over the season
1) Can Dave Bassett's receivers prove they can catch? and can his team live harmoniously?
2) Will the Rocket recover from his injuries?
3) Will Dave Lucenti walk away with the touchdown crown?
4) Will the Unnamed Student play again...or is his career over?
5) What week will be the first fight? (my say is week 2)
Stay tuned for scores and updates.
Running Down A Dream
Isn't that a great song by Tom Petty?
Running Down a Dream.Got me to thinking...It's Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers...
Is it just that he's never broken any hearts? Must be a pre-requisite to break a heart before joining the Heartbreakers band. Tom Petty must be in love.

Site Tracker
I added a site tracker to my page today.
I was recently excited to see that I had one visitor. Then I thought...wait a second....that was me.
I guess there's nowhere to go but up.
peace.
Concerts
Just sitting here reading some Land Law...it's really exciting. Also listening to a little Aerosmith, who in my humble opinion have gone to the shitter. They had a few good albums, but what they're doing lately is embarrassing. Anyway, that got me to thinking of when I saw them in Concert at the Molson Amphitheatre in Torono, and all of the other concerts I have seen.
AC/DC x6
Judas Priest
Iron Maiden
Aerosmith with Kid Rock and Run DMC
Ozzy Osbourne
Black Sabbath with opening act Pantera
Coldplay x2
Gordon Lightfoot
Stompin Tom Connors x2
The Tragically Hip
Prince
The Rolling Stones
Bruce Springsteen x2
Slash's Snakepit
Chantal Kreviazuk
Glass Tiger (my first at Memorial Gardens North Bay(...
Don't forget me when I'm gone...my heart will break...) Jeff Healy Band x2
Jimmy Page and Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin that summer night)
John Fogerty
Concert for Toronto - including - Tragically Hip, Sum 41, Barenaked Ladies, Sarah McLaughlin, Avril Lavigne, Remy Shand, Our Lady Peace, Jann Arden).
Sarstock - including - The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Rush, Justin Timberlake, Sam Roberts, The Flaming Lips, Kathleen Edwards, The Isley Brothers, Sass Jordan, Tea Party, Blue Rodeo)
That's it that I can remember. That took way too much time. I should be studying...
Yet to see...Metallica, Sarah Harmer, Pink Floyd, U2 (maybe), Radiohead, Lenny Kravitz, Paul McCartney, Dave Matthews Band...and the Glass Tiger Reunion Tour, can't wait.
hmmmm
Just sitting at home. 12:24am...Listening to a little Fleetwood Mac
Tango in the Night Album. Everyone knows their best was
Rumours but they've got some decent other ones. Anyway, looking for something to eat, but can't find much. Maybe I should eat my roomates enchilada leftovers?
Look! That's beyond the point here and furthermore none of your business at the time being. So let's move on. The point of this post is about women. Some of you might find this offensive, but I had to post this. It's about girls cheating on guys. That's right - women cheating on their man. It got me to thinking...what would I do if my girl cheated on me? At this point, I've got so many women (according the brother's Diot, the unnamed student and the Wild Drunk) that i can't count them all.
Anyway...if one of my girls were to cheat on me, this is where they'd be going. What a great concept.

I'm drinking wine from a box again...it's a lighter wine....has the aroma of a wild animals anus with a hint of oak.
The Birthday Post
This man is now officially 32. What a disgrace.
Sunday I was a little too hungover to write a post. Furthermore, it was quite late/early when i got home...nevertheless, here's a quick breakdown of the evening.
The unnamed student did end up showing up to the party, albeit very early, and he didn't stay long. The verdict is still out to whether he returns to the web or not. Please feel free to post your thoughts on his return.
The unnamed student's absence was thought to partially be filled by the Wild Drunk. However, he was also disappointing on the evening. He didn't tell anyone that they had STDs (except yours truly), he didn't have the opportunity to use the, "that guy spit on you" trick, nor did he have glassy eyes. All in all, he was a disappointment. We're looking for more on Palaver this Thursday and Golf Day Friday.
The party started at the brother 'Diots' house (brother 'I' and 'Ni'). Special thanks go the guests that showed up. No thanks go to Marc Lucenti (brother 'I' also known as Chris Bosh's younger brother 'Ki') for Kiboshing yours truly's invitations to all my girlfriends. It's too bad Lips couldn't make it. I have yet to ask why the new blood didn't show up (Mike and Sean, you're disappointing us - don't let it happen again).
Guests for evening included Jay (thanks for telling Wild Drunk that story, now everyone knows about your closet exploits), Meghan, Ilana and Iain, the Rocket, the Sprocket and Dave (good thing they don't drink much...) Johnny Q, Roxy and Sam Marash.
Despite efforts to go see the ACDC tribute band in Surfer's Paradise, we all went to Varsity Lakes Tavern for a few pops. Although we were successful in speaking to a few girls, we were not successful in getting Dave a birthday girl. I did introduce him to one lovely young lady, but apparently he couldn't close the deal. I think he needs to learn some of the Unnamed Student's moves. Marc didn't have much luck either...though, I'm not sure if i had good luck or bad luck the way my night went...
Anyway....the night to surfers on the bus was not needed. If the Unnamed student would have been there, or the Wild Drink would have...wild, then things would've changed.
Looking forward to this week. Possible return of the Unnamed Student to the web. Also, in depth profile on the Wild Drunk.
Stay Tuned...

Dave's birthday post to be up soon...
Birthday Boy
On the bottom you will find a photo of me and Dave. On the top is a picture of Dave's brother Marc. Marc was born the small Quebec town of Rivier de Loup. His Quebecois heritage has never left him. I think he is listening to Roch Voisine in this photo, but he is also a big Mitsou fan. Anyway, enough about Marc...
January 29th marks Dave's birthday. He likes to tell people that he is youngers than that - sometimes as young as 20...but we all know he is a little older than that. Tonight we will have a few drinks in his honour. It is my wish that Dave talks to some girls tonight. I may try and teach him the move that the Unnamed Student taught me, although I have not perfected it yet. Happy Birthday to Dave!
On another related note. The Unnamed Student has told us that he is not coming out tonight. Let this be his warning -
if he does not make an appearance tonight, he is going back on the web in full force.
Extra Terrestrial
Mark just informed that he's watching E.T.
Remember that scene where E.T. is lying in the
creek-bed half dead? What a horrible scene. Why would they put ET through that? He looked emaciated.
Obviously they were depriving him of Reeses candies.
I hope they used his stunt double for that scene
A Chicken
Tonight i bought a barbecue chicken for dinner. I ate half of it at 6:30pm. It was great. They're filled with stuffing here. I put the other half in the fridge.
Just recently, I looked at that half chicken in the fridge and thought, "that half chicken must be lonely." So I decided to eat that half and reunite the two halves.
Unfortunately I couldn't eat the bones, so just the meat and skin will be reunited.
I wonder if it was a free range chicken?
Downloading now...
9:33pm...just been downloading some AC/DC bootleg videos and songs.
had some coffee with my new plunger courtesy of a good friend.
i may have some grapes...
stay tuned...
a few flicks...
another exciting night on the gold coast. A little hungover today...gonnd watch some movies. Batman sounds good...just had some ice cream and peaches. Yummy.
Come back soon for more excitement.
Coming soon - Who is the Wild Drunk?
Possibly Returning - The Unnamed Student????
Looking for guest columnists.
The Future
Canada has made a clear choice in who it wants to lead our great country. Paul Martin has made the choice to step aside. Jack Layton will hold wield a certain amount of power in the new parliament. Gilles Duceppe while losing some support in Quebec, still has a stranglehold on the province. These men have made their choices and we know what they are going to do. Yet, one question remains. What is to become of Jordo?
Seen in the picture left, nobody is quite sure what will become of him?
The Unnamed Student Returns?
Let this be a warning that if the unnamed student's behaviour does not improve, he will be back on the web.
If you have any concerns about his return to the web, please post a comment.
January 23rd - Stand up for Canada
If you haven't voted yet and you're reading this in Canada, go out and do it.
I'm 16,000 kms away and I voted. That means you can, and should too.
Good luck to my peeps running - John Mazzilli, Rick Dykstra, Peter Van Loan, Helena Guergis, Larry Miller, Tony Clement, Peter Chirico, Mike Dupont and the rest of them...
Go get em!
The unnamed student
Please note that a certain person no longer wishes to be part of this blog. He will now be referred to as the Unnamed student. His picture has been replaced with a question mark.
I set this out to all readers of this post to send in your mail and help me bring back the true identity of the unnamed student.
Is it on?
Last night was the Bond Uni Pub Crawl. The night started out fine...or should I say the 'day' started out fine - the crawl began at 2pm.
Marky Buoy told me early that we had to escape, and take care of some business...but I had other plans.
I think I knew the night was going to be good when Bryan from New York mentioned his favourite baseball player was "Donnie Baseball." I think that was a sign of things to come.
Things got rockin' by the time we got to our third bar - Platinum, in Broadbeach. A few drinks were consumed as the ladies started to get intoxicated.
I really can't remember much else between then and 'The Shack.' That is when The unnamed student and Davey Buoy showed up. At this point, let me set the stage for you...The unnamed student (see question mark photo below) wanted to have a quiet night. Things changed when he saw a certain lady. Apparently "it was on." But let's get things straight, my behaviour was abhorrent. Until the unnamed student got into the Red Bulls and Vodka, he was well-behaved. After that, he was a mess.
On another note when it came to the ladies, while Marky Buoy got a 'Norwegian Wood,' he was unsuccessful in getting any further. I think he still owes me a beer...
Anyway, the unnamed student's night ended in tragedy. Why you ask? Cause he ended up not going home, jumping into a wet bush (and not the kind of wet bush he wanted) that was full of redbacks, and drinking boxed wine. I think the only memory from the evening will be arriving in a month in a letter from Visa. Thanks for the drinks unnamed student.
That all said, it was another great night put on by Bond Uni. Special thanks to Sam Marash for an admirable job as bus leader and Davey Buoy for not being a threat in picking up any ladies.
See you next weekend...It might be on!
Please see the next column - "Marky and Donnies Double Troubles"
Jordo
This is my second post about Jordo.
As I mentioned in a previous post, Jordo works at "Yes" employment in North Bay. "Yes" provides job advice and places people that are out of work from the region. Yet, i find it odd that an organization would hire a man who has never held a job to help others find jobs? I'm sure he's doing well. But I sometimes wonder, when he interviews people, does he ask them about how to hit "shots" or what to do with "Q-J in the small blind in a five-man no limit game with one bet before you?" Who really knows...
Jordo is fond of driving a Chevy Lumina, also known as "the chapel." It is like Mecca, Cathedral Notre Dame, or at least like Gateway Pentecostal on Marshall Avenue North Bay - take your pick.
He is also known for speaking of odd things - too many to name.
Is he a god? We're not positive, but evidence points to yes. Fact - when in the bush on the golf course he always looks toward a one-inch opening that may gain him a yard or two, rather than the safe chip out. And while eyeing these openings, however small they may be, he often-times has one foot four feet higher on a rock and the other in foot high mud. Rarely does he make the shot, but he always tries. This leads us to believe that only a man with a higher power could even think of such stupidity.
Please see the attached photo of Jordo. He has since gained weight.
Tomorrow is the Bond University Pub Crawl.
I bought my T-Shirt early this semester. This will be my third consecutive 'crawl'.
The 'crawl' will start at 2pm Friday at Don's Tavern.
It is unfortunate that The Unnamed student will not be attending. For those of you that don't know the unnamed student...he is a Canadian from Halifax via Calgary and Toronto. When we first met him, he was a hard-working law student. Kept to himself, but was always willing to help out his fellow student with a piece of advice here and there. Lately - things have changed. The unnamed student has dropped studying in place for a heavy dose of drinking. Or as they'd say in Australia, "he's on the piss." Further, his tennis playing skills has recently become disgraceful. He has a habit of hitting balls out of bounds and yelling his own name to himself!!!"
We're not sure what it will take to get him on track, and frankly, we don't care. The unnamed student has hit rock bottom, and there aint no answers at the bottom of the bottle.
Back to the crawl...Marky Buoy and I will be attending. I have already vowed to be on the earliest, to leave the latest. This will involve drinking copius amounts of beer. I will also have to keep myself amused somehow. I will do this by watching 'Buoy' try to pick up up women. This will be funny. Hopefully he brings the move out whereby he "bobs" his head up and down. It's a pathetic move, but it has apparently worked once. But let's put it this way...even a dog has its day sometimes.
Davey Buoy will not be attending.
Today's topic - Jordo
Ladies and Gentleman - Jordo is a man that works at "Yes" employment in North Bay.
He is also addicted to gambling. Apparently he has had a "bad month."
Jordo enjoys hitting "shots" on the golf course. Often he will say, "that is the best shot you have ever seen."
Often times in a tournament Jordo will play well for 16 holes. On the 17th hole he enjoys going out of bounds. Sometimes more than once. Then he will go home only to return later and get drunk.
In consistently shoots in the 90's in the Northern Ontario Championships.
Jordo once poured a beer onto a man's head.
Jordo told me yesterday that he wants me to be dead soon.
He also wishes from other people to be eaten by sharks.
(more to come on Jordo and his life)
On an unrelated note....this man's name is Thomas. He is a Dingo Killer from Northeastern Germany.
Why Change?
Ok, so being a former political staffer has it's ups and downs. Everyone expects you to know all the answers. Usually, I don't have a clue. However, here's one answer I can provide.
People say to me, "why the hell should I vote for Harper, he'll be just as corrupt as the last guy."
1) that's a cynical attitude for one. It's like saying, "why should I buy a new computer, it's out-of-date by the time it gets to my house." Maybe not like that, but hopefully you understand. One always has to think positively that change will bring about change and their vote counts.
2) Culture of Entitlement. This is an oft used term of this election. More famously used by David Dingwall, the Former Federal Mint Chairman, and former liberal cabinet minister, who after being found ridiculously spending taxpayers dollars said in an inquiry he was, "entitled to his entitlements." That's the way the Liberals feel right now. That's what happens when you're in power for 13 years...you just start thinking it's yours. But guess what folks, everyone knows, the government has no money of its own...they only have our money. Every penny they spend, comes from our pockets. We elect them to use it wisely. I saw it at the Provincial level. We deserved to lose in 2003. We lost it where we were supposedly strong - valuing "Joe Taxpayers" dollars. So to get to the point - Change will fix this culture of entitlement - if only for a few years. Conservatives will have value for hard-working Canadians dollars. They won't take it for granted. Liberals will realise where they went wrong. It will most often be the one who values these dollars best that will win the trust of the people.
So to change this, vote for the conservatives this time. Give them a chance if you haven't before.
Election Rejection
As a self proclaimed political junkie....I am going nuts not able to be part of this one.
It's not easy sitting on the sidelines 16,000 km's away.
However, solace is found that at least I cast my ballot in my home riding of Nipissing/Timiskaming where it will definitely make a difference.
Like a dose of heroin, I rely daily on
www.bourque.com,
http://www.warrenkinsella.com/musings.htm (even though the prince of darkness - as Warren Kinsella is known - is a diehard liberal, albeit a Chretienite),
www.ctv.ca/mini/election2006/,
http://angrygwn.mu.nu/, or
www.nealenews.com/Without these....I am not sure where i would be.
Anyway....great to see the Tories at 40 per cent - 7 more days to go.
