Chad Longland: The Hero
Margo sent me this article about her brother Chad.? I guess him and his girlfriend were hanging out by the Vedder river in Chilliwack when Chad spotted a body floating in the river.? Chad pulled him out and performed CPR on him.
Here's the article in the Chilliwack Times.
Wow to go Chad! read more
My Stupid Blog
So if you hadn't noticed, my blog has been really flaky for the last week or so. For some reason, all the hard drive space on my machine keeps disappearing, and it's causing mysql and apache to occasionally crash. I spent a few hours this morning trying to figure it out, so hopefully it will be a bit more stable soon. As for today, I'll probably hang out by the water for an hour or so, and then maybe do some grocery shopping. I'm going to get a membership tomorrow at the Bentall Fitness Center I ... read more
Boston Bound
I got my flight confirmation today, so I'm officially heading to Boston in a few weeks for fall VON.? The only crimp in a otherwise fun trip is having to fly on September 11th.? For a guy who hates flying to begin with, it's not really an exciting thought.
On Friday night we completed our move into Bentall One.? Adrian was nice enough to blow his whole weekend setting up the network, so today was a fully productive day. ? Other than that, not much else is new -- I hung out with my dad and step-mom ... read more
24
Well, I'm sad to say that I finished my last episode of season one today.? ? Lots of plot twists, lots of great action.? If I ever go missing, call Jack Bauer and tell him to come find me. read more
The following takes place between 11am and 12pm on the day of the presidential primary.
Someone told me last week that 24 was a good TV show. I had heard of it, but never watched any of the TV shows. So that night I went to the Yaletown video place and picked up a few episodes.
Let me just say, this show rocks. Right after seeing a few episodes, I went down to Future Shop and bought the entire first season. I'm on episode 10 I think, which means I still have 14 left.? The best part is that every show essentially ends up a cliffhanger, so you're so excited ... read more
The Aquarium
Amanda called me last night and asked if I wanted to go to the Vancouver Aquarium with her, Andie and the kids. She had a free ticket, so I thought it would be fun. Traffic was a bitch getting to and from the Aquarium, but we all had fun while we were there. I'm thinking about maybe playing tennis tomorrow, and finally getting around to cleaning up my apartment.

Duane’s Ass Kickin
When I was back in Chilliwack last weekend, I had this strange urge to play tennis. I used to play like ten years ago with Jeff, Landy and Michele, but I had no idea where my old raquet was. So, I went down to Cottonwood Mall and picked up a new raquet and some tennis balls. After hitting the ball against the wall for about 20 minutes, I realized that it wasn't as fun as I had hoped it would be.
The funny thing is that right after I got back into Vancouver, I talked to Jason and he ... read more
Mexico
When I was driving back from the Rocky Mountains, I was thinking about where I would go for my next trip. New York was awesome, and so was Banff and Lake Louise, but I spent so much time travelling that it wasn't really very relaxing (still very rewarding, but they are different things). So, I decided my next vacation should probably involve less travelling, and more relaxing.
Thankfully, my roommate and friend from first year university, Robert May, is getting married in November in Mexico. So, tomorrow I'm going to put my deposit down, and commit myself to ... read more
