It’s been awhile and I don’t know where all the time went but I haven’t got much to show for it. I’m actually standing here with my hands open, palms up and shoulders shrugged. If there was an image that would best describe me, that would probably be it and it would be titled "Hey, what happened?" Bewildered by how fast the world is moving and amazed at how far behind I am.

So what’s new?

Recently I went paintballing with a group of 26 friends and acquaintances. One of the biggest adrenaline rushes I’ve had in awhile. The location was at Wasaga Beach and they had a 20+ acre lot with 11 outdoor scenarios to play. Each scenario was very well thought out and the buildings and props in each area were well designed. In 12 games my kill count was around 19 and I was killed about 7-8 times. Of those 7-8 times, I was shot in the head 5 times, once in the jaw under my mask/helmet. Bruise count at the end of the day? – zero. Fun factor on a scale of 1 to 10? – 10. Highly recommended and if you do ever go, please invite me.

Arrested Development episode 4 has been delayed for the last 2 weeks because of the World Series. The only show I watch religiously and it has to take a backseat to a baseball game, COME ON!

My friends and I have started discussions about starting a business. We’ve got some great ideas so far on paper and we’ve started preliminary research. Everyone’s excited about the prospects of working for themselves. I can’t wait for the day I can call myself Mr. Manager. Actually Mr. CEO sounds better. Wait, I don’t care for titles...except Mr. Roboto. Domo.

I started a small contract job recently, designing a database and some forms/reports for a small business in Burlington, ON. So far it has been rather smooth. Some extra income on the side in exchange for longer work days, less personal time and less time blogging. Sounds fair to me except for the blogging part.

I am in love with Emily Haines. Even if she dances like Elaine (from Seinfeld).

I am also in love with Sonia. She doesn’t dance like Elaine but she does one heck of a Lindsy (from AD) chicken dance.

Life is grand.
