Alright, I know I am extremely late to wish you all a Happy Valentine’s Day.  I figure that if you have someone you love then you were probably busy spending time with them, so you really shouldn’t have been checking out my blog.  If you were alone then you probably didn’t want me reminding your lonely ass about the empty life you live.  I spent Valentine’s evening drinking with some friends at a bar downtown Toronto.  Things got a little hazy and I ended up in some persons living room wearing pants that didn’t belong to me.  Weird.  Well, weird for anyone but me.  Sadly, this kind of thing seems to happen fairly often for me!  I spent all of the holiday Monday recovering from the damage I did to my liver.  This week is all about trying to get back into some form of routine.  School is done.  My vacation is over.  It is time to get back to reality.  I recently accepted a job offer with a tech company in Toronto.  I start my job on Monday.  This will be my career until I get on with a fire department in the area.  I am pretty excited about making money again.  I haven’t done that since 2008!  That pretty much gets you up to date on my world.  Here are two Valentine’s Day related funnies that I think you will enjoy.  The first is from FailBlog and features a bunch of wedding proposals that are…well…complete fails!  When asking someone to marry you in front of a large group of people I would think you should make sure beforehand that the answer would be a yes.  After that you get the Valentine’s Day comic from XKCD.  God I love geek humor!  Since I am largely abusive to you, my faithful blog readers, I think today I should be nice.  I actually love you all….except Kevin Gray.  I hate you Kevin.  I hate you with every muscle in my elegant, brown body!

Just finished writing my last exam for a while.  My brain is cooked.  I have nothing left.  So, here is something that doesn’t require too much thought.  It has been a long time since I posted a Zero Punctuation video on here.  I looked back and found the New Years episode that gave out the awards for 2009.  Obviously, these are not really awards but another way to make fun of horrible games.  Enjoy!

Just Awesome.

I haven’t posted an SMBC comic on here in a while.  So, I was able to go through quite a few to pick one I really liked.  I figured you would get a kick out of this one.  This week has been a little crazy for me.  Even though I am done school I still have some major exams coming up.  Tomorrow I write 4 different tests.  It is pretty much a summary of everything I have learned this past year.  I enjoy a challenge so I have yet to really start studying!  I have been putting it off for a lot of days now.  I really am a master at procrastination.  When I have to study I find that absolutely any other activity is fun.  Yesterday I found laundry and cleaning the floors to be an absolute blast!  Today I have about 5 guys coming over and hopefully they will kick my ass into gear.  My only break from studying today will be to feed those animals when they get here.  As a result of my schedule, I probably won’t post anything tomorrow.  I will let you all know how it went on Friday.

Here is that SMBC comic…

Congrats to the New Orleans Saints for beating up on the Colts and taking their first Super Bowl!  This is definitely a sports feel good story considering everything that team and city have gone through.  The big game is more than just a sporting event though.  It is a media machine.  A 30 second ad during the game will run you over 2.6 million dollars!  So, your ass better be serious about what you are presenting.  Here is a viewer from Forbes that has a bunch of the ads from last night.  Enjoy!

This was a song from the MTV Movie Awards.  It’s funny because it is something I always laughed at.  In action movies, the hero always walks away from these massive explosions without even looking back.  Seems a little dangerous to me.  I guess that’s why I am not an action hero.

I love it when people I know start blogs!  It usually means that a little bit of my awesomeness has rubbed off on them.  Thankfully, none of my randomness rubbed off.  Their blogs always seem to have a specific purpose.  That brings us to my buddy, Grant.  He moved from Toronto to the left coast quite a while back.  Recently he has found that he orgasms quite easily while taking pictures.  Although I don’t quite share his fetish, I must admit to being impressed by his shots.  Check out his blog HERE.  Below are a few samples of some of his pics.  If you are like Grant then I suggest you…ummm…aim away from the computer!

You know, it’s time to be a little more positive about things.  I often post fails (courtesy of FailBlog) on this site.  It’s funny.  We all laugh at the stupidity.  Everyone goes home happy.  I figured that we could stand to see some awesome pics as well.  Moments caught that are complete wins!  Thanks to EpicWinFTW I am able to bring you a little sample.  Sorry for the infrequency of posting recently.  I will be more attentive to helping cure your bores going forward

I am back on Canadian soil.  Unfortunately, I am also back in Canadian weather.  After spending the last 9 days in shorts and flip flops and I pretty pissed off about having to wear a jacket.  Damn it’s cold up here!  I am happy to be back in my own bed though.  Below is a nice sample of some of the pics I got while I was down there.  Some of them are pretty random.  The last few show how I took a private jet for my flight back to Toronto.  I have to tell you, this is the only way to fly.  On a normal commercial flight you have to show up 3 hours before the departure in order to get through the anal probes that the new security rules require.  For the flight home, we showed up 15 minutes before take off!  No security steps.  The flight was faster and smoother…not to mention more comfortable.  Upon arrival, all I did was walk 10 feet from the jet to the limo.  No dealing with immigration or customs.  I think this is the way I will have to travel from now on.  Firefighters make enough to pay for private jets, right? 

Every dude has dealt with this before.  I can’t even say too much because the comic does it for me.  Just read and enjoy.  Any guy that has been through the same situation, which is probably all of you, will instantly feel it!  This comes to us courtesy of AbstruseGoose.
