Some lighthearted talk here plus this will make sure that I can read this again sometime as it's a good story, at least for me. If it wasnt for posting all those apartment stories I would forget almos

I debated posting this, because I might be overdoing this topic this week, but I made a sort of personal promise to myself that I am going to promote more positivity and try to never be negative or pu

Danny.... Thats a great attitude to have, and you will be amazed at the progress Owen can make with that kind of attitude and persistence on your part. On Feb 4, 2003, the diagnosis I got was that

When I was just out of school, I bought $300 worth of cat food because the air miles bonus plus my points card actually meant that I got $1.15 for every $1 I spent. I had a cat but pretty sure I donated about $280 of the food to a shelter when I saw how much room it would take up in my 1-bedroom apartment

Prays for Quebec City.

 

Rumors are that the shooters were Syrian refugees who came into Canada last week. I hope this is false.

 

report I just saw said they were wearing masks and spoke with a Quebecois accent.

Shocker, it was a white supremacist, just like the huge majority of terrorist attacks in North America.

now watch how quickly the far right commentary changes from 'terrorist radical' to 'see, mass murders happen in Canada even with their strict gun laws'

I am surprised it took so long before someone did something like this. I am totally disgusted. I heard the names of the people who got shoot and what they do for a living. Extremely sad day in Canada.

So far Twitter seems to prefer the suggestion that the Muslim man was involved, but agreed to cooperate so they changed the story.

Not sure why I started thinking about this at lunch today (Probably because I was watching a really entertaining darts match).

 

Imagine for a second that you had zero allegiance to a sports team or athlete, zero fantasy sports, zero betting interest, and you ahd to judge each sport purely on how much you enjoy watching the sport itself. Like, imagine if you turned on the TV, and every possible sport was on live at the very highest level, that each game was of basically equal "importance" (No game 7s, or championship games), and you had no allegiance to any of the players or teams playing. Which sport would you choose to watch?

 

After thinking about it, I think my ranking would be:

 

1. Darts

2. Poker

3. Football

4. Hockey

5. baseball

6. Golf

7. Soccer

8. Billiards

9. Basketball

I also might flip Hockey and football on the list. It's really hard to separate the gambling aspect from football in my mind, to be honest. Also the inherent "gravity" of each game in football, given the 16 game seasons definitely plays into it for me, and I think that should probably not be considered for this exercise.
