The Top Ten Ways To Annoy People
Mood:  irritated
1. While waiting for a streetcar with a large group of people, stand at the curb and stare in the opposite direction. It'll come just as fast whether you're watching for it or not. 2. Reply to tedious e-mail messages from acquaintances with the word "unsubscribe" in the subject box. 3. While driving on a hot day, roll up the windows and crank up the heat. Then repeatedly announce how "damned freezing it is in here." 4. Travel to Amsterdam and bring home a pound of grass. Not marijuana, but real Dutch turf. Do it just to be able to tell your friends you pulled it off. When flying home from Turkey, tape a pound of breakfast hash to your stomach. 5. Wear a "Guess Who T-shirt" to a "Who concert" and walk around to the concession area telling strangers that you've waited your entire life to see Burton Cummings do the "windmill." 6. Hail a subway car. As you stand on the platform, wait for the rumble of the train to approach and then make a move like you're going to jump. The driver's face is hard to see in that hyperspeed blur, but look closely, the grimace is there. 7. When being introduced to someone, find a way to apply their names to some kind of cliche or slogan. Brook becomes, "If it ain't Brook, don't fix it." Toby naturally begs the questions, "Toby or not Toby?" 8. When returning a Lotto ticket, ask the clerk to scan your ticket. When he or she tells you that you didn't win, say: "Well in that case, I'd like to return it." The clerk says no. You reply. "What do you mean I can't return it?" "It says $5 million right on the ticket" "I spent $2 on this and you're telling me I get nothing...?" "I'm going to take my Loto business elsewhere." 9. Leave union paraphernalia around your non-unionized workplace. Whisper things like "grievance procedures" and "worker rights" within earshot of the shift manager. This kind of pestering is especially effective at Starbucks and Gap franchises. 10. Answer your telephone by saying, "Line three, you're on the air."

My own particular favourite is teleporting people into unknown areas.

Jason And Freddy Still Number One
Mood:  mischievious
Even though the storyline and the villains of Nightmare On Elm Street and Friday The Thirteenth are as old as the hills, they still pack enough punch to make them number one for the second week in a row. Let's face it, there's a big demand for scary thrillers out there and this film doesn't have much competition.
If you feel like taking on powerful undead guys, why not try your luck in The Gehenna Funhouse. Have fun.

The Newfoundland "Screech In"
Mood:  d'oh
The most recognized way to become an honorary Newfoundlander is to:
1. Kiss A Cod. 2. Eat A Kaplan(Smelt-like fish).3. Drink Some "Newfy Screech" Without Mix.
Yesterday, myself and two friends were "screeched in" by my wife. The ceremony is not for the weak of heart or stomach.
Find out more about this crazy tradition here.

Web Dreams Versus The Reality Blog


Webpages express my hopes, dreams, nightmares and creative visions. My blog is the attempt to meet the challenges of my own life on a daily basis. This includes finding interesting material in order to make a daily entry.

Webpages are shaped by various themes, but the journal tends to be the random musings and/or experiences of a frustrated soul(i.e.me).

All and all, webpages and blogs are fun to do. If you have any experiences in getting your blog or webpage off the ground, I would be happy to hear from you.

My Pick For The Internet's Most Commerical Message Board

No one communicates to anyone on this message board. It's just used to promote internet businesses. It's called Hotel California/Area 53. Nice place to visit, but you wouldn't want to stay there. I wish you lots of luck in whatever trade or vocation that you're in.

Avoiding Blackouts In The Future
Mood:  on fire
Alternate forms of energy should be used more than they are now: This includes wind power, solar power, and aura power.
The last one is the energy that the spirit gives off while in a body. Here is a website with more information on this subject.

Freddy Versus Jason
Mood:  cheeky
It's hard to believe there's still life in these well-worn supernatural antagonists, but Freddy Vs Jason was number one at the boxoffice this weekend.
Of course, the critics hated it, but audiences has been starving for this kind of thriller entertainment.
Put more mystery into this horror adventure equation and you have our "new-age caretakers" in Area 53.

Our Big Fat Blackout Of 2003
Mood:  accident prone

My family and I plus millions of others survived the biggest blackout in North American history. In Toronto and Brampton, civilians directed traffic through dead stop lights. Good samaritians brought water and juice to policemen who were assisting at intersections as well. Looting and vandalism were low.

Apparently, we're suppose to live without airconditioning for the next few days to help electrical power get totally restored. That will be tough considering we're presently in a heat wave.

We need a few good wizards for emergency power.
Maybe some of these guys can do the job.
