Superman has certainly RETURNED!!!!

I was front and center Wednesday afternoon to see 'Superman Returns', the sequel to one of my all time favourite films, 'Superman' staring Christopher Reeve. Let me tell you folks, he certainly has 'returned'!

I remember the first time I saw Superman, it was 1978 at the Gem Theater in Grand Forks, BC. The place was packed, in fact, there were people sitting in the center aisle on the floor! The only other time this happened was when 'Star Trek: The Motion Picture' came to town one year later. Now, I had loved Superman in Action Comics well before this film came out, and was wondering how they would make it happen on the big screen with real people! Well, as we all know they made it happen, and Christopher Reeve was probably the greatest Superman we will ever know.

But sitting in the theater Wednesday afternoon I again had the same thoughts, "How are they going to pull this one off?". I was worried about all these things I had seen in the papers, and on the internet. Lois Lane has a Kid? Why is Superman's 'S' shield so small? They are going to directly link this to the 1978 Superman? All of these things caused doubts to fester in my brain and all of these doubts were silenced the minute the classic John Williams Superman theme filled the theater accompanied by the classic swooshing credits.

I won't say much about the film (for fear of giving too much away) but Brandon Routh is a worthy Superman, who gives The Man of Steel a range of emotion that also makes him a man of flesh and blood. I do feel however it must be said that Routh is not quite as good as Christopher Reeve, but come on, who could be? Kevin Spacey makes the greatest Lex Luthor EVER, and I even preferred Kate Bosworth to Margot Kidders version of Lois Lane! I was actually giddy at certain parts and I wanted to stand up and cheer like my nephew Ben at a screening of 'Cars'. It's true to the comic, and it's true to it's film predecessor. In short, this is the best movie I've seen all year, DON'T miss it!

Wow, what to tell you....

Well, another week and another few posts to the ol' Blogitty Blog Blog. I'm not sure really what to tell you. What do you guys want to know? You can always email me and ask, or if you are feeling really adventurous you can always post a comment. Nothing makes my day more, than visiting the blog and seeing new comments from you guys. Well, to be honest an email from a really hot single babe wanting to date me, might make the day just a bit better. But I'll take what I can get, and comments will do just fine........ I guess.

I've been watching a lot of World Cup Soccer in the last few weeks and I must say every four years I get really excited and caught up in the whole thing. I even get up to watch England when they play at 6am (Yes I'm cheering for England... shocking huh?). But then I watch my first game and realise (as I do every four years) I'm just not that crazy about the sport. It's kind of slow, and features some of the biggest nancy boy cry babies I've ever seen! I should say I have seen premier division matches in England and they are pretty exciting to watch live. But on TV, sorry, I just don't get all the fuss. Despite all this, I continue to watch England and their march to world Soccer domination, and I even got quite excited today when Beckham scored to give Old Blighty the win. No doubt my tune will change when England makes it into the final, and I will be running up and down the street with my St. Georges Cross flag tied around my neck like a cape and singing "Here we Go"!

I am George Costanza....

Thought this conversation from the Seinfeld episode 'The Revenge' applied to my life of unemployment right now.....

GEORGE: I like sports. I could do something in sports.

JERRY: Uh-huh. Uh-huh. In what capacity?

GEORGE: You know, like the general manager of a baseball team or something.

JERRY: Yeah. Well, that - that could be tough to get.

GEORGE: Well, it doesn't even have to be the general manager. Maybe I could be like, an announcer. Like a color man. You know how I always make those interesting comments during the game.

JERRY: Yeah. Yeah. You make good comments.

GEORGE: What about that?

JERRY: Well, they tend to give those jobs to ex-ballplayers and people that are, you know, in broadcasting.

GEORGE: Well, that's really not fair.

JERRY: I know. Well, okay. Okay. What else do ya like?

GEORGE: Movies. I like to watch movies.

JERRY: Yeah. Yeah.

GEORGE: Do they pay people to watch movies?

JERRY: Projectionists.

GEORGE: That's true.

JERRY: But you gotta know how to work the projector.

GEORGE: Right.

JERRY: And it's probably a union thing.

GEORGE: (scoffs) Those unions. (sighs) Okay. Sports,...movies. What about a talk show host?

JERRY: Talk show host. That's good.

GEORGE: I think I'd be good at that. I talk to people all the time. Someone even told me once they thought I'd be a good talk show host.

JERRY: Really?

GEORGE: Yeah. A couple of people. I don't get that, though. Where do you start?

JERRY: Well, that's where it gets tricky.

GEORGE: You can't just walk into a building and say " I wanna be a talk show host."

JERRY: I wouldn't think so.

GEORGE: It's all politics.

JERRY: All right. Okay. Sports, movies, talk show host. What else?

GEORGE: This could have been a huge mistake......

These are a few of my favourite things.....

Last night I was Booooored. So boooored, I went through my backlog of unwatched DVD's and pulled out a Gem, the 1979 Buck Rogers in the 25th Century pilot movie (As brought back to my attention thanks to Clive Lovetts blog)!! Wow did this thing stink!! BUT, it did remind me of a great action figure that I had long forgotten about..... "TIGER MAN". Tiger Man is on screen for about three minutes then gets kicked in the nuts by Buck Rogers, but what an Action Figure he made!!!!
I know that I LOVED my Buck Rogers action figures, but I haven't thought of them for YEARS! Thinking back, I remember ALMOST liking them more than the Star Wars Action figures because they had better articulation and weren't so cartoony! I can guarantee back then I didn't use the word Articulation. Woo Hooo TIGER MAN!!!! By the way I dare anyone to watch the Buck Rogers movie and not have their ears bleed due to the theme song! "Far Beyond the woooorld I knooowww......."

Job Search continues! I haven't heard back from anything yet but I am feeling more confident, for whatever reason, that I will be working shortly. I will continue to hammer the Library by dropping a resume off again next week. I've got nothing to lose right? As always if anyone knows of any type of work that I would be suited for please email me today. Hell, even if you don't have anything just email me and say Hi today!

Whatever did I do without my Mp3 player......

A week ago I was taking a Loooong bus ride out to White Rock to visit the Doctor and it was PACKED. I stood (Yes I stood, it was that busy) and listened to two drug addicts compare Crystal Meth stories, and one really, really, large lady hork up phlegm like she had the disease 'Captain Tripps' from the Stephen King novel The Stand. Well I was dreading the 50 minute bus ride listening to all this 'ambiance' when I remembered I had my trusty Mp3 player with me. I slipped it on and went into the music goodness of Billy Bragg, The Beatles, and Chris Isaak all of whom helped drown out the horrible sounds of The Greater Vancouver Transit system.

So this all leads me to the point of this blog entry. What is Gregg listening to on his Mp3 player? Many of you have emailed and asked me what I've been listening to lately* so here goes .....

Out of the 1300 plus tunes I have currently on my Creative Zen Micro here's what tops my chart!

5. Gnarls Barkley - 'Crazy'
This song grows on you. At first I didn't like it, but now I LOVE it, go figure!

4. Embrace - 'The World at Your Feet'
One of the 16 official songs for England at the World Cup. Unlike the other 15 this one is really good!

3. The Kooks - 'Naive'
Good ol' pop song with a great hook. Downloa.... eerrrrrrr I mean 'Buy' this one today!

2. Red Hot Chili Peppers - 'Dani California'
This band just gets better and better with age.

And Number one on my personal top 5...........

1. Keane - 'Is it Any Wonder?'
Keane is simply my favourite band going right now that could be considered "hip" by the kids of today. They have such a nice sound that I think many reading this blog would like them almost as much as I do. The bands has a new album coming out this week and I'm really looking forward to it! That is big praise indeed as I don't even remember the last time I looked forward to a new albums release.

Honourable mention goes to the entire radio catalog of "The Mighty Boosh" and Snow Patrol - "You're all that I have".

What are you listening to? Let us know in the comments section!

*Okay, Okay, NO ONE has emailed and asked me this....

My weird British obsession #3

Okay we've established I have a fascination with most things British, and most recently I've gone on about Hollyoaks (More specifically cast member and British landmark Elize Du Toit). And I've also blogged about my all time favourite British show Doctor Who. Which, by the way, seems to get better with every episode, although I could do with less girly giggling and hugging with The Doctor and Rose.

Now I'm hooked on a very obscure (Well obscure to me at least) show called The Mighty Boosh! I started watching it on BBCK and thought it was just weird and didn't give it a second look. Then I saw it again and then once more and I started to laugh a little more with each viewing. Now each episode cracks me up to the point I am crying during the show! I've recently found out it was on BBC radio before it was ever on TV, and I managed to get a hold of these broadcasts and found them even funnier than the TV show! It's about two guys, Howard Moon and Vince Noir, who work in a Zoo and have a boss named Bob Fossil "WELCOME TO FOSSIL'S FUN WORLD WHERE FUN IS ALL AROUND YOU.... LIKE STINK ON POOP".... and that's really all you need to know. Check it out on BBCK at 6:30pm Sundays and 9:30pm Wednesday (All times pacific!)


The Job search continues, as I've taken the search to a much broader place now and may have to take a bit less money than I was making before as I just can't seem to catch a break. Applied for various things in the last couple of days including the Surrey Public Library (Would love that job), various fabrication shops for inside sales, and a few call centers for Help desk type stuff. I've also been told I'm 90% cleared (whatever that means) for getting EI but since I didn't work in 2005 they can only go back to June of 2004 for my record of employment and I'm wondering if that will reduce the amount of money I will receive. We will see I guess!

Elvis LIVES!

Hey, how are you? Welcome to the Blog! Bet you are visiting this Monday to see what Gregg did this weekend? Well, anyone who has visited my link section (Located in the right hand column) knows I'm a big Elvis fan because of the link to the Official BC Elvis Fanclub. Well, several of my friends dress up as Elvis and put on one hell of a show called "Ultimate Elvis". They had a gig at the White Rock Royal Canadian Legion branch #008 on Saturday and I went to wallow in the sounds of the King!

When I got there they needed an Emcee, so they asked me and I was more than happy to help out and be part of the show. It's quite funny to see how people react to the Ultimate Elvis show. Some sit, smile, and tap their feet, but some women allow themselves to get TOTALLY into it and try and get a piece of some of the Elvi on stage! It was quite funny to see some 55 year old woman slip headliner Brian Simpson the tongue when all he is trying to do is give them a quick peck!

Well on Saturday night a good time was had by all EXCEPT the 5'2" 90 year old Scottish guy who took exception to me saying Anderson was a Swedish name, and wanted to fight me. I had thought about military pressing him into the Keno machine, but instead I just patted him on the head (Benny Hill style) and sent him on his way. After all I was part of the Ultimate Elvis crew for the night!


The guys who put on the show, Sandor, Adam, Brian, (all pictured above) and Terry (Sadly not pictured above... I owe you Terry!) are all great and do this show out of love for "The King", because the money isn't really anything you can make a living on, and that makes me like the whole show even more. If you want to see where "Ultimate Elvis" is performing next click the official British Columbia Elvis Presley Fan Club link on the right.

What a horrible, miserable day.....

The rain just won't stop... It's an unending sheet of wetness and gray. Okay, it's not that bad it's just that today I had to go out into it and do bunch of errands. To make the wetness of the day even more annoying my MP3 player, for some reason, chose to only play songs like "Candy Man" by Sammy Davis Jr. or "Sunshine Day" by The Brady Bunch.... yes I admit it I have The Brady Bunch on my Mp3 player.

My various activities took me to the unemployment office where I stood in line for a long, long, long, long, long time. It never fails while everyone is waiting in a line that snakes forever and a day around the office some moron thinks that the line isn't for him. So while myself, and seventy other saps who can't find a job, wait in line like nice people this Danny Bonaduce lookin' dude comes in (Well since it WAS the unemployment office it could have very well actually been Danny Bonaduce. Danny looks at the line, walks all the way to the front past all 70 of us, and up to a wicket that someone is already using. He waits IMPATIENTLY as the person finishes up with the Unemployment teller type person (We'll call her a teller from here on in) and then tries to get her to take his papers. "BUT I ONLY NEED TO GET THIS SIGNED" Mr. Bonaduce yells as he is thankfully sent to the back of the line. He's all upset and starts to mutter to some older East Indian gentleman who instead of sympathizing with him just says "Hey we're all here for the same thing, that's why there is a line". CLASSIC!!!!!!!

I then made it out of the EI office some hours later (Ahead of Danny Bonaduce I'd like to add) and went to get my hair cut. Well I know I was in trouble when I got to my regular place and the three guys who know how to cut my hair are busy. I could have said NO I'll wait for one of the guys I like, but I don't want to hurt the ladies feelings who is free to cut my hair so in I go.

Now I don't have much hair left, so I like to at least try to make what I have look good. WELL, I like a tapered back. Not a straight line of hair ending at my neck but something that is faded. I go through great detail to explain this to her.... I even said "FADE THE BACK IN, DON'T LEAVE A STRAIGHT LINE, YOU KNOW A TAPER?" she smiled and said "Of course". I knew I was in trouble when she spent what seemed like hours on my back..... she changed so many clippers and scissors I thought she was carving a statue out of Marble. She then proceeds to cut the rest of my hair, And not very well either. But to be honest, I'm really not concerned as there is only so much you can do wrong with my hair (Not counting the back of course). Then the moment of truth....... the mirror comes out and it's time to check out the back.

STRAIGHT AS A FREAKING ARROW!!!! You could use the back of my hair as a straight edge for drafting. I could be a level if you wanted to build a house. It was the exact opposite of what I asked for. It was as if she was from Bizzaro World, it was that opposite.

Oh well, in the end it really doesn't matter because when I get my hair cut, in my mind I think I'm going to come out looking like this.......but I always come out looking like this......
Oh, if anyone is wondering I'm still broke and unemployed... I'll keep you posted if anything changes.

OH LAME SAINT INDEED!

Now I really don’t want to be one of those guys who rags on the film version of ‘The Da Vinci Code’ just because I want to seem smart for not liking something very popular. I’ve actually seen people who haven’t even read the thing turn their nose up at the mention of the book (Poseurs all of them). Those same people do the same thing with the movie version of ‘The Da Vinci Code’ and that kind of bugs me. But sadly, in the case of this movie, they may have something because it’s just not very good.

I’ll be honest here… It’s boring. The book was a fine little mystery with some great historical facts thrown in, but nothing spectacular by any stretch. The problem the film faces is it can’t delve too deeply with the historical stuff, for fear of making the film a pseudo-documentary. So sadly, it had to discard the most entertaining aspects of the book, and rely only on the pot boiler mystery which as I‘ve already said, is no great shakes.

Well ‘The Da Vinci code’ has just given more truth to the statement that the movie is NEVER as good as the book. BUT, this got me to thinking...... what book is not as good as the movie? It HAS happened you know! So here we go….. a list of films I thought were better than the book!

1. The Godfather (The only one on this list where the book isn’t even CLOSE!)
2. Jaws (The book is more pulp and Soap Opera than this Spielberg classic)
3. Blade Runner (The book is called “Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?” and I found it very dull … mind you I was 12 when I read it.
4. Shawshank Redemption (Probably the only Stephen King I’d put in this category)
5. Silence of the Lambs (Much scarier on the Big screen… I’ll never forget when I saw this in England how cousin Giles jumped like a woman four separate times!)
6. Excalibur (The original book is 'Le Morte D'Arthur' and was published in the 1500’s. I own the damn thing but it’s about as dry as the Sahara desert in August.)

So feel free to add some that I may have missed … there are others that are supposed to be better than the books, Die Hard, Princess Bride, but I never read the printed version to have a say.

Oh yeah one other thing… I’m still looking for a Job and getting a little worried, so if you’d like, you can click here to download my resume and HIRE ME!!!!!

Remembering Jock.....

Jock Wilkinson
March 26, 1920 - May 22, 2006

The World is missing one of the good ones. My old neighbour from Grand Forks, Jock Wilkinson passed away May 22 at the age of 86. When I was a kid, I always thought Jock was just another old guy who lived across the street. But as I got older, I found out there was a whole lot more to the man than I had ever thought.

He was a World War II vet who saw action for 5 years as a signal man, starting in Italy and ending in Germany. He was there when Grand Forks opened it's first airport, and told me last summer how amazed he was by the Ford Tri-Motor that had flown in for the day. And if that wasn't enough we had this conversation in front of the Grand Forks Museum where there is a picture of a Ford Tri-Motor and a kid named Jock.

It may seem trivial to many of you, but the most impressive thing Jock ever did was have the ability to always know the difference between myself and my brother Jim. Aside from family members and close friends who see us everyday, many people have a tendencey to get Jim and I confused with each other. Not Jock, not ever. Being a younger brother and wanting to be known as his own person, well, that always meant a lot to me... Thanks Jock.

HOLY CRAP, I’M BIG IN ANDORRA!

You may notice to your RIGHT (and slight scroll down), I have a counter telling us who’s who when they come to visit. Now, I must say I am in shock at the amount of people who have come here to read my rather ordinary musings. I actually have a reader in Portugal who wrote me and said hi! Now this counter just doesn’t read ‘hits’ but rather 'Visits', meaning it only counts you once a day no matter how many times you access the blog, and it doesn’t count me at all. So yesterday alone, there were 22 individual visitors to this humble ol’ Blog. I’m very happy about that, thanks everyone! By the way, anyone ever heard of Andorra before?

The Job search continues! Today I applied for a couple of Provincial Government jobs and one of them sent me for a loop because I actually had to print off a PAPER application and fill it out by hand! WOW, in this day and age of emailing resumes or online applications, that was a real shocker. Anyhow the job was for a help desk position which is kind of what I used to do at Wellons so we’ll see what happens. I keep telling myself something will happen with all these jobs I’ve applied too… something HAS to happen right? As always if any of you have any leads, tips, or even an Idea, don’t hold back….. email me today!!!

My dirty, dirty,secret...

If you’ve read my blog for the last little while you’ve read my feelings about the British show Doctor Who. The good Doctor is probably the greatest export from the British Isles since corgi toys! Well there is another show I watch from Old Blighty and I’m not as proud of my devotion to it (No doubt my British readers will have a chuckle over this one) I am addicted to a British soap opera called Hollyoaks!!!!

It’s brilliant! It has it all, romance, laughs, sex, drama, high adventure, and most of all it has IZZY!!!! Yes the character of Izzy Cornwell has just been introduced and it’s made a great show even greater! My only complaint is that I thought recently I had missed some episodes, but it turns out Hollyoaks released a Video only special entitled “Hollyoaks - Indecent Behaviour” that tied up, and started a bunch more storylines. I can’t find it ANYWHERE (well at least anywhere for a free illegal download)! So if anybody across the pond has a copy… send it on over! I’ve got a Hollyoaks jones and I need my fix!

Do the walk, Do the walk of life.......

Hey Kids, which one is Gregg?

Howdy Hi, Girls and guys! Well this weekend was a busy one with the 12 hour Hour relay for Life in Langley! This year I was a member of my friend Colin Cameron's team and despite the very wet and cold weather fun was had by all! Pictures will be coming later in the week, I promise, so watch this space! The weekend raised a total of $305,000 for cancer reseach and thanks to you guys I was able to add $475.00 to that total! Thank You!

I am almost hesitant to say it, but this weekend my withdrawal from Antidepressants seems to be on the ropes. I'm beginning to feel much better and the 24 hour car sickness is more like 2 or 3 hour a day car sickness! It's actually quite weird to feel good after three weeks of feeling crummy!

Oh by the way if you are new to my blog or want to re-read an old post but don't see it, be sure to check the right hand column for a link to all my posts for this month. For some reason, that I'm trying to fix, only a certain number of my posts show up on this page. So you'll need to peruse the links on the right for all the posts.

Welcome to Kamloops town!

Well my road trip continues here in the lovely little town of Kamloops! Visiting my Brother Jim, his wife, and kids (Ben and Raili) hasn't been the best visit as I've been a little icky the last couple of days from my withdrawal from antidepressants. But today I feel very good and ready to face the world! Yesterday saw some real nasty and rainy weather hit Kamloops so Jim, Ben, and I watched the entire first season of "The Adventures of Spin and Marty" on DVD. I have to admit at first I didn't think Ben would like the show (with it being Black and White and relatively slow moving when compared to today's cartoons) But he LOVED IT! Within minutes he was cheering on the boys of the Triple "R" ranch, and asking aloud at the end of every episode what "Will happen to Spin and Marty Gregg?". Just goes to show you good TV is good TV no matter when and where it's made.

So a quiet stay in Kamloops ends tomorrow as I make my way back to the dank urban sprawl that is known as Surrey. Much to my surprise I've had many of you who follow this blog emailing me and asking when I'm coming home and such. Well I expect to in town around 10pm tomorrow (That's Wednesday to you folks without a calender) so give me a call then , or email or comment on this here Blog! Can't wait to hear from you!

Grand Forks is Hot! And I don't mean Fiona Forbes Hot either....

It's a billion degrees here and there is no doubt Summer has truly started! The last few days have involed MANY Grand Forks type activities like eating Borscht down at the Grand Forks Hotel, sitting outside and sweating while the kids play in the water, and taking a stroll down Market Ave. I went Downtown with my Dad and since it was sooo nice we parked and walked everywhere we needed to go. My Dad is the freaking King of Kensington! Seriously, when he "walks down the street.." everyone pops their head out of their stores and yells "Hi Andy!", Dad waves, smiles, and then keeps on walking along.

I then got to spend the Afternoon with the McGraws. Brian McGraw is a man I've known since 1990 and is something of a Hockey legend in this town. I sat and Drank Pepsi while I got all the inside scoops on all the girls that I think are good looking in GF and who still live here (Brian and his wife Jessie are the first people I go to to see if someone is worth my time or not!). I also found out that Brian and Jessie's 4 year old Kayden favourite TV shows are as follows.. Mythbusters, Dirty Jobs, and How it's Made. Quite the line up for a little kid!

It's not been all fun and games here however as my niece Chloe came over and showed me her treasured NeoPet, "doglover_985" (Neopets are online "Pets" you take care of, feed, and love). She had created a lovley blue pet that her and her little brother Sam thought was the best! Well after they left I went on the neopet website to see how her neopet was doing and through some wrong clicks I accidently fed her Neopet some food and turned it into some sort of horrible monster (pictured here). If Chloe asks, I will just blame it on some sort of horrible computer virus going around.

Heading to Kamloops tomorrow... I'll update you there!

"The Slag Piles are coming in Sight......"

WOW! My blog is only one week old and I'm already taking it on the road! Here I am in lovely Grand Forks where it's bright, beautiful and 28 degrees celsius YIKES!!! What am I doing inside on a day like this typing on a computer you ask? Well I'm still a bit under the weather due to withdrawal from antidepressants (It's almost gone thank you for asking), and I'm still sleepy as I took the red eye from Coquitlam to GF last night getting in sometime around 3 this morning!

After a few hours sleep I was up and out the door for a dental appointment, where I'm happy to report after avoiding the dentist chair for over seven years my teeth are in perfect biting order with no cavities to be seen! Tonight, I am being taken to the pinnacle of sophisticated dining, it's called 'Clydes' (No Manson it has nothing to do with Clint Eastwoods Orangutan). I'm going to have a big ol' burger with Mom, Dad, Auntie Glo and Uncle Tom, to celebrate the Ortis' wedding anniversary! Much more interesting updates to come while the Blog remains on the road until next week when the big show winds up in Kamloops! Please try to remain calm...

About as serious as this Blog gets.....

On May 26th I will be participating in a 12 hour "Relay for Cancer" in Langley. My good friend Colin Cameron started this last year in honour of his late father Stu Cameron who passed away fighting this horrible disease. It's a great time where a bunch of us stay up late and walk for 12 hours and eat junk food! There is a survivors lap where anyone who survived cancer joins in to start the relay, and a candle light lap to remember friends and family we've lost (It's hard not to tear up while walking in the dark and seeing all the names and candles let me tell you.) I'm walking to honour all the people in my family who have fought, and thankfully, beat cancer. If you'd like to donate to my 12 hour relay you can click here to help stop Cancer with this very safe online transaction! Thanks!

Where have all my DVD's gone... Long time passing

I own a lot of DVD's... almost too many (last count I had over 300). Since I haven't been feeling too well the last week, due to my bodies withdrawal from no longer taking antidepressants (which is by the way getting better everyday) I decided I was going to veg out and watch the ENTIRE
Star Wars saga to pass the time. Problem is they aren't here!!! I've lent them to somebody, and CAN'T remember who!!!! Do you have them??? I'm trying hard to remember who borrowed them, but I'm stumped. Of course this is coming from the guy who can't score higher than 6 on the Simon game posted in yesterdays blog!!

Anyhow I'm still a sucker for spreading the word of the DVD so take a look at my DVD list here and let me know what you'd like to borrow!

While I'm here I'd like to thank all the people who have emailed me about the blog and/or left comments... It's a good feeling to wake up to emails don't you think?

Anyone going to Grand Forks?

Since my employment at Wellons Canada is ending officialy next month, I am on my way to Grand Forks to visit my Mom's dental office (She works there) and get the ol' chompers back in order for free while I am still covered by medical!!!!

So are you are going there before this Sunday? TAKE ME TAKE ME TAKE ME!!! Let me know and the whole trip I will entertain you with stories about me drinking WAY too much Super Socco and having an allegric reaction that made me look like Rocky Balboa after 15 rounds with Apollo Creed!

("Jim I drank too much Super Socco!")

Looking for Jobs in all the wrong places....

I need a Job!

Yes I need a job but not any old Job like Joe Buck from "Midnight Cowboy" would take.

I've got a few good leads on some things so I'll keep my fingers crossed. One is a warehouse Job that deals with Games and Comics and things, and the other is a Job like I used to do at Wellons Canada.

Something tells me the warehouse job, filled with toys that I would enjoy, pays very little, while the job dealing with something I could care less about will pay much more!!! Ain't that the way?? I've also applied for several jobs with the federal and provincial governments, and civilian jobs with RCMP that I hope to hear from.. but every day with no reponse makes me think I'll never hear from them!!!

So to all my little bloggers out there be sure to say your prayers and eat your vitamins, as well as keep an ear out for any jobs for lil' old Gregg! And hey, while you're at it keep an eye out for Fiona Forbes and ask her if she wants to go on a date with me sometime!
