Davy Jones Locker

Well, It is I, and I come back from my fantabulous weekend of rafting. The day was great, it was warm and sunny, except for a quick rain storm.

Anyways, as some of you might know there is a huge rapid that is the highest commercially run rapid in North America. Anyways as my boat went to start our run with the rapid, we started off terribly. We missed the drop down point and therefore was off course. We went up a 15 foot wave and our boat flipped. Yes it's true we flipped, everybody in the whole boat got tossed, and sucked down to the bottom of the river. I was under for what seemed like a lifetime, but in actual fact it was about 10-15 seconds. About 50 yards later, I was still under the water and just as I got to the top to get a breath of air, another, yes another huge 10 foot wave crashed down on me. I was then under for another 10 - 15 seconds, but I still haven't had a chance to breath yet. Anyways, by the time I surface, and get a breath in, I realize that the current is very strong and I am going pretty darn fast down the river. To my glee the motor rescue boat saw me and came my way. However it failed to stop early enough and it ran right over top of me. Anyway after the whole ordeal, I was pulled to safety, without out one thing. My trusted water shoe!!!

Anyway the trip ended and all I had was a belly full of lake water. Anyway thanks to the rafting company, we got out on the Quebec side of the Ottawa river, so I was able to enjoy a celebratory beer!!!!!

All in all trip was amazing and I want to go later in August.... Start saving your money people!!!!!!!!!

Playful dog defuses shooting spree plans
Last Updated Thu, 24 Jun 2004 10:30:18
TORONTO - A New Brunswick man who called off a shooting spree after a chance encounter with a friendly dog is to appear in a Toronto court on Thursday to face several weapons charges.

The 43-year-old man, who turned himself into police Wednesday afternoon, said that he'd loaded his car with guns and ammunition in New Brunswick before setting out with plans of randomly shooting Toronto residents.


Some of the weapons seized by police
On arriving in east-end Toronto, the man reportedly went into a nearby park to load his weapons.

There, he told police, a playful dog approached him. That encounter apparently changed his mind.

He got back in his car and began looking for police. At about 5 p.m., he spotted a cruiser and turned himself in to the surprised officer.

Police said the man was carrying a loaded semi-automatic handgun when he approached the officer.

A search of the suspect's car turned up two rifles with scopes, a shotgun, a revolver, an air rifle, a machete, a hunting knife, a throwing knife, a camouflage mask and netting, and 6,296 rounds of ammunition.

The man reportedly told police that he planned the killing spree in order to get himself imprisoned for life.

He was taken into custody on several weapons charges, including carrying a concealed weapon, possession of ammunition for a dangerous purpose, careless storage of a firearm and unauthorized presence of a firearm in a motor vehicle.

Songs

So I'm sitting here at the front desk and my SOM helper.... Or slave Bec is singing this same stupid song by who knows what over and over. Anyways every few minutes all i here is "I will go down with this ship, i will put my hands up and surrender".....
Anyways...I keep hering the same song over and over in my head....It won't stop. Doesn't that suck, when a stupid song is in your head and it just keeps repeating like a broken record. Anyways thats it for now but if anyone knows how to rid me of this affliction, let me know.........

"I will go down with this ship, i will put my hands up and surrender".....
"I will go down with this ship, i will put my hands up and surrender".....

Crazy
Man, another conference has begun, or is it began, or something like that..... Anyway.....SO John was talkin about some kinda book on stage and as soon as the store opens, everyone and there uncle, and their tiny pet midget comes running in a buys it up. After about 5 minutes its gone, and then every other person and their pet midget come and ask...Do you have the book.....Do you have the book.....

SHUT UP!!!!!!

WE DON"T HAVE THE FREGIN BOOK!!!!

Anyways after my nice PK privileged dinner of shrimp,scallops, and salmon I was better.......

Then I return to the store and find that a handicap person or person not yet healed knocked over a card stand with her wheel chair. So then Bethany and Jan all put the cards back....

Meanwhile in the bat cave.....

I was making about 10 signs that say staff only, because crazy people kept going into the store through the staff entrance.........

Anyways it the door looks cool now and we're just getting ready to reopen the store.

Hope it goes better.....

Don't you love conference time.....

Funny stuff always happens.

Ironic

So yesterday I went for a shop and I wondered into an outdoorsman store. I then purchased a MagLite flashlite. THese are the ones that the cops use to beatdown the perps. They are really heavy durable. Anyways I wanted a light that would be very bright, but I had no way to test it........ Don Don Don........

Anyways I bought and couldn't wait to try it out..... Anyway at about 11:30 in the evening the power in my house went out. For those of you who have been to my house, you know that my room is in the basement and I have no windows. Lets just say it was dark! Anyways as i stumbled around trying to find a candle of some sort I quickely realized that I did indeed have a flashlite. I reached over to my night stand and turned it on.......("thus sayith the lord.... LET THERE BE LIGHT!")...... Anyways my whole basement lit up and i was able to survice the trechorous journey up the stairs and visit the mens room.

So it was quick ironic that the day i bought the flashlight, was the day that i needed.....Praise the Lord!!!!!

Imagination

So I'm sitting here at work, on this beautiful Friday morning, and somehow a conversation started up about food. Not just any food, but really good food. I think it all started by me offering a crispy creme to Kenny. It moved from that to Big Mac's and then deep fried mars bars and then to beer and buttermilk turkey and finally to pasta. This was one of those conversations that just kept getting better. Anyways, after Dru mentioned pumpkin raviolies, it got me thinking, how when everyone talks about really good food, and you really can start tasting things in your head, it almost tells your brain your tongue to taste that thing. An example. I took a swig of crappy coffee from the cafe and for some reason it tasted like pumpkin. Isn't that crazy? At first I was shocked, but then I thought about it came up with an idea.

If there is something that you hate, like bananas or bananas, or maybe even bananas then you can pretend think about chocolate or maybe chocolate, and then when you do but the banana in your mouth, then maybe it will taste like chocolate?

I don;t know..... Maybe I'm crazy or maybe your crazy? Its just a thought but, i'll give it a try.
