Bring on the Bzz!
Alright, so I belong to this site called BzzAgent.com. It's a marketing tool companies use to spread word of mouth about new products. I've been involved for a while now and I want to start getting into the really GOOD campaigns.
So, I am going to start blogging again, in an unending stream of shameless self promotion and the occasional word of mouth advertising. Don't judge.

Slots and mp3- MY Anti-drug
This year's resolution: Quit smoking.
So far, it's going well, with one side effect: I am addicted to online slot machines instead. Yikes.
I am also addicted to illegally downloading music from the internet.
That's right RIAA. You heard me.

Ahhh the Great Outdoors- My Love/Hate Relationship with Camping
Long weekend= beer, friends, soggy tents, trying to pick up someone you wouldn't sneeze on if it weren't for your 48 hour drinking binge and way too much pot.
I love camping-
Where else can you get away with not showering, peeing in a semi public space, and drinking three times your weight in beer in a 24 hour period??? This generally results in the issue seen above: Beer goggles are stronger in the country. No.Really.
And that leads me to this, because it amuses me to do so, and because my intense curiosity is a wonderful thing: My friends and I are wondering how to find the delightfully amusing guys who were in the campsite next to us. This is all the information we have so far:
We were camping at Sibbald point Provincial Park in Sutton, Ontario.
We had campsite 359, which would make them 361.
They were having their annual "Visual Dreams" get together, of which most of them were players.
Jacob Watt (the man with the guitar) was kind enough to serenade us with "House of the Rising Sun" more than once during the course of the weekend. He also happens to be a moderator for "Visual Dreams".
Some of the campers were from Beaverton.
If you or someone you know matches the above, email me

Well THERE'S a shocker!
OK, so let me get this straight, Mr. Rumsfeld:
There ARE no WMD?
Are you sure? Because I thought that was the point of sidestepping the UN?
Oh, we're not supposed to bring that up....
Well, what about when you invaded? I thought you said it was because you were sure you knew where they had destroyed the WMD?
Oh, we're not supposed to bring that up?
What about your entire reasoning behind a war that has killed thousands of people and cost many billions of dollars to American taxpayers?
Oh, we're not supposed to bring that up. Dubya says so.
jackass.

Voila!
I have officially begun my first blog (well not really, but who wants to admit they had a livejournal??)
How exciting to be able to foist my uninformed opinions on the masses!
This is truly innovation at work- no more will I be confined to the "Bulletin Boards" of 1995, the "Topical Chat Rooms" of 1998, or the "Forums" of 2000. I will spread my ignorance world-wide and global domination will be complete! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH....oh. Ummm, ya- right. I'm going to pretend to work now I think.......
