Bacon Baby

Those that deny their love for bacon either did not have the pleasure of sinking their teeth into a grease laden slice, or are so vegan that they wouldn't recognize bacon if it did a dance on their plates. I tried to go without bacon for a year, and in that time it was the only thing I desired. Talk about torture!

Let Your Mind Wander

I love to meditate sometimes. To clear your mind of things that may have been bothering you throughout the day is not only good for your soul, but for your health as well. Today is the first day I incorporated meditation in my daily routine, and I'd have to say that it's wonderful!

Profiling Nouveau

Sometimes we tend to forget that people are just that; today I observed a man following an African immigrant around a store as she shopped. It seemed to me that there was no real reason to stop the woman, as she eventually made a sizeable purchase; I suspect that she simply fit the profile of a thief. When is this sort of behaviour going to end?

WTF Moment of the Day

I can't stand hypocrites! Today, while walking down http://www.mapleridgechrysler.com/>the street, I noticed a woman obviously pregnant holding a small sign that read "Abortion is Wrong!" I asked her why she decided to protest in an area that did not have any clinics in sight, http://www.mapleridge-vw.ca/> and she mentioned that there are people who knew that she aborted her first child on the other side of town. It was a major "WTF" moment, to say the least!

Marketing To The Masses

There's a lot of reasons for you to have a Facebook page; the most important by far is to extend your reach to those who may not have heard about your brand. Although its close to you, there are some who may have had the severe displeasure of not being introduced to your product or service; this is where Facebook's pages option plays a major role.  You can not only use pages to communicate your brand, you can gain a word of mouth potential customer base that rivals the exposure you'd get from advertising in a print magazine.

Work Out The Workout

Today I started a formal workout, and I'd have to say that I hated it profusely! There's nothing worse than doing the same routines over and over to the sound of corny techno music; I wish that there was a better way to workout, but unfortunately for the time I have allotted, getting in shape to the sound of 80's techno is what I'm reduced to performing each morning. Oh well- at least I will lose some of this excess blubber!

A Good Pen

Pens always go missing.  They seem to hold enough inherent value/utility that they are always grabbed.  But their value plummets fast, and they are abandoned just as quickly.

Many of these pens disappoint upon application as well.  How many times have I tried to write with what turns out to be a scratchy bit of plastic sans ink?  More than once.  You're a thief with nothing to show.  Pathetic.

This pen works.  Apparently it writes reliably upside down like Seinfeld's astronaut pen, but less expensive.  Plus it's triangular shape means it doesn't roll off a slanted table.

+1 to the designers.
