Well I am back from my trip to Vancouver. I love Vancouver, the people and all the places are amazing. The one unpleasant problem is that Vancouver especially the downtown area is full of “crazies”. People yelling and talking to them selves. It’s like every night the mental institute lets everyone out. But overall the City is great, it has a ton of new developments, great architecture and friendly people and lets not forget very little snow. Toronto has lots to learn especially when comparing waterfronts. Vancouver has in my opinion been able to keep the waterfront open and friendly to the public and kept new developments from over powering the views. When you compare to Toronto the condos seem to be “miss mash” of building developments that are just ugly.
Another reason why I like Vancouver is the fact that there are so many Starbucks. I came across at least 18 while I was there. On Robson Street the main hip shopping district there is in fact two Starbucks on opposite corners from one another that seem to be always full of people.

Well Chinese New Year has come and gone. Hope you all had fun bringing in the New Year. I have a few news items as well as comments first.
Is it me or does John Chrétien speak another language other than English and French. I was trying to listen to him speak at the sponsorship enquirer and I could hardly understand a word he said. How was this man Canada’s leader? If he was trying to speak to me I would think it was the rumblings of some mad man and tell him to move along.
Hockey season is OVER this year anyways, spoiled rich players and even more spoiled rich owners. Look its simple you buy a team, don’t have a payroll of $50 million a season, when you only make $35 million. Have a budget and stick to it it’s as simple as that, if your losing $10 million a season sell the team, or don’t complain.
February is starting off better than January. Went and saw Russell Peters last night at Yuk Yuk, thanks to Kent. I laughed so hard my head hurt, had a great time.
I purchased a new phone the Motorola V-400, so far so good, if I could download some dam games it would be helpful. Other than that this month is starting off well
Still in the hunt for a new iMac but I think I am going to wait till it gets a speed bump.
Off to Vancouver next week for a week so that should be a great break.
Luty is off in Australia telling me is working when I know better, I am on my way you bastered I am on my way.
