I love TED.

No I am not gay even if my exwife says so! I have been addicted to this site and for those who have an inquiring mind beyond what goes on in Hollywood this si a great site full of video on a wide range of topics with a stellar cast of speakers.
The past three posts deal with happiness and might be of interest to some of you. So get some coffee and take a look at Happiness! You might see why I love TED.

The Canadian Youth

Hi there here's a message to the youth of Canada.  Not all young people but those who seem confused and or disillusioned with the system or the candidates who are running in this next election. For this post I am going to leave out, as much as possible, the politics of our southern neighbor.   You might wonder a number of things the first one: Is going to vote even worth the time?  You will hear many older people say that your vote doesn't mean much because if you live anywhere but Ontario and Quebec it won't change the outcome!  True Ontario and Quebec have the majority of seats in the house of commons so when there is a majority of which ever party it is a sealed deal for the rest of Canada right?  Well although Ontario has a total of 122 seats you would still need 173 seats to have a majority.

The table saw and the damage done.

The morning started out bad as I was not feeling well, my head felt like a balloon filled with porridge and gravel. Rather than a bug I think it is just an unhealthy life style catching up with me what with being a career smoker and eating like a teenager. Yeah the pretty much nightly ritual of gettin a glow on has to be mentioned. Add to this a stressful job environment, not because of the work but because of management style and the fact that I have a mind that sometimes wanders. There are other factors that contributed to this nasty injury and I will leave them out as I personally dislike re-visiting the moment in time where it all came to a point of CHAOS! unwrapped to take out the sutures  It truly amazes a person when you look back at a catastrophic event and it plays in slow motion. That is but a memory of what happened, don't look confused just yet I'm sure this thread will become more tangled as I write. I have been in several car accidents ...
