HA AH! See? I can update this blog more often! I have no idea what Im going to write but hey, I think I know what Im going to write about: which is Apartment Hunting. Sigh. Its not a fun past-time, even after all the advances of the Internet, its still a hard time; because I have never rented a place of my own. And it seems EVERYBODY wants references from previous landlords but I dont have any! I feel Im at a disadvantage since I dont have that under my belt. Oh well.
I had some hurdles, but I just finished submitting my application and I really liked this place, its called Glenmore Heights. If you know the big residential tower right across the street from Chinook Mall then you see it all the time. The best part? Its right on the ground floor, no fighting with elevators at odd hours of the night and its a nice, homey space. So its only 318 square feet, but honestly I wont need much more than that. Its got a fridge and freezer, sink, stove, bathroom with a tub and it would work for me. At least I really, really like the location, its close to work and everything thats right near Chinook Mall, like Home Depot, Co-Op, Future Shop, Staples, and all the eateries down MacLeod Trail. Plus its right easy access to work; just a quick 20 minutes down Glenmore Trail and BOOM! Im at work. Plus it has its own gym. It would save me paying 30$ for a membership I just dont use, and its included in my rent, and hey, its really close by; I would totally go! Im really hoping I get this place, I even might put a video of it empty when I move and do a before and after shot; I think that would be really neat. I could go on and on about this place but Im going to stop right there, because it would be a really long post. Talk to you later guys!

Movie Review: Avengers
I went and saw the Avengers tonight and it was awesome! There was lots of star power behind the film and it kicks off right from the get-go with action. Honestly it's one of the best action movies iv ever seen in my life. Really.
It's also got very good comedic timing and the bantering that goes on-screen between the characters is really good; it really brings each character to light that they are just people who happen to have great power.
In short: go, run see this movie. Hell, see it 2 times. I know I will.

So....new post!
My previous posting was unfair to my ex. We tried to make things work, but it just didn't happen.
So now I've got a new post! What it's about I have no idea until my awesome droid razr phone comes to the store. There is a great big deal with the phone so I'll just give the skinny on the whole thing.
I got an upgrade and gave it to my ex and kept my iPhone; and a contract is 3 years. Now that we are separated I'm stuck with a broken phone(I have to be in the same room to get wi-fi. It's quite sad) but I used one of my 'product replacement' tokens that you get once a year. I got the razr but they told me that I had to sign on for another year.
Sure! I'm already in a 3 year contract and plan on making the razr my primary communication device and add data so what's another year?
So now I'm just waiting for the phone call from Rogers telling me to come pick it up and I will have a new phone.

Another year. And older too
Yes, I had my birthday yesterday. Did I celebrate? In a way, yes; I went to peters and got myself a burger and fries and to 7-11 to get a slurpee. I still went to work, and basically it was another day, like the one before it. It's kind of tough to get excited for birthdays after 21 or so. I mean, if you take the day off of work, you don't get paid for it, and you can't pound back the cake and ice cream like you could because your body has matured and needs vitamins and other balancing stuff right?
Well, I should leave early for work, since it's SNOWING out. Yeah, the 2nd day of spring and it's snowing. They don't call it the great WHITE north for nothin'. Take care everybody.

A Zombie Preparedness Guide...Sort of.
So, the title says this is kind of a Zombie guide. Well not so much as a guide as more my thoughts on the perfect place to be when it happens; which is a Home Depot, especially if there was a Walmart or other type of grocery store beside it.
My reasoning is this: with the Home Depot there are lots of options for weapons, defenses, and generally the ability to build stuff and make additions to things you already have. Like using all the plywood and drywall to make a connecting path between the Home Depot and Walmart and using nailguns with the air compressors and not to mention all the spray cans that can be used as flame throwers. Of course being close to Walmart means all kinds of food, clothing, and essentials and building the two of them together was a really smart move. I applaud the person who did that, they're geniuses.
Well...thats all that I have on the minute, because I drive by a place where there is a Home Depot and Walmart right close to each other and it would be a fantastic place to be when the Zombie outbreak happens.
