Finally put it together still working on the DVD;

A quick 1 minute clip of the party after the wedding @ the folks place.

Good times, hung over and painful, but good.

Short video, title kinda explains it all;

Google has fianlly deemed my site, secure! I think it was the picture I farmed on my water bottle post, I have since taken it down.

Does this mean the hits will start flying through???

I doubt it.

I dusted the web off the camcorder the other day and decided to make a video of Father’s Day.

Let me know if you want a copy and I’ll burn it, but I tried encoding it, so it may stream depending on your connection. It’s about 86meg and an hour long.

Since I got married and now have a kid on the way I find myself doing those things that made my cringe as a teenage and young adult.  Wow, is it possible to grow up and enjoy the simple and stupid things in life.  For example, my wife who is full of heart loves Aladin so I burned the soundtrack one day before a long trip.  It was fun driving thru the hilly terrain of Ontario singing the old tunes.

So yesterday I burnt the Disney classics, my wife tells me that my kid can hear now so I figure between the swearing and the negetive vibes it most be picking up on living in Toronto, I’d try a Disney tune.  I gotta tell you, it was fun for me and my wife and hopefully our un-born signing the kids songs driving up the DVP.

Hakuna Matata!

A friend, my wife and I went to see Black Watch yesterday @ varsity staduim.

I liked the way in which my experience with the play came about, a friend bought the tickets and said we were going, cool!  I love going into a play with no expectations.  For all I know it could have been a musical, and we happened to come upon an extra ticket so the wife (who is 4 months pregnanet came along). 

When hearing it was at Varisty stadium, like anyone I thought.  Cool!  An outdoors play.  But stupid me Varisty Stadium includes a hockey arena, that’s where it took place.

After handing in the tickets, that’s when it all started to turn downhill.  We were at level K which is 11 level up.  We had to climb these high school metal bleachers to the 11th level.  Once there Our seats were against the end of the bleachers so were had to bother 6 people to get in them.  And by bother I mean everyone had to get out for us to get in (there is no space there and again the wife is 4 months preganant).  Now in heins sight we should have left then.  Jess (my wife) being pregnant you typically have to leave a seat a couple times an hour, whether to stretch the legs or use the facilities.  THEN, the seats!  The seats are worse than the plastic patio chairs your friends put out for BBQ’s.  Very thin and uncomfortable.  From the first five minutes of the show we wanted to leave.  And if we had an aisle seat we would have.  But for us to leave we would have to bother 5 other people to all get out of there seats.  Now, this was a hot summer day, not very hot but hot.  About 24C outside and for some reason they didn’t want to turn on the Air Conditioning, being in high seats the temperature started to climb.  The heat and humidity started to turn the plastic chairs into slip and slides, we were practically standing in the chairs.

I was uncomfortable and my wife being pregnant was almost in tears but we couldn’t leave because of the 6 other ppl there.

People in the first and second row were consistly fanning themselves so you can imagine us at the second to highest level.

It was terrible, which is unfortunate because I can’t really comment on the show because of the worst planning and seating I’ve ever experienced in my life.  The play is based on a military experience in Iraq and they really put us in the desert with the climate control in the building.

Sad really, because it seemed like some people enjoyed the play.  The odd joke I caught seemed really funny and it was the first war play I’ve caught.

But please add the extra $10 on my ticket to turn on the A/C
