Tattoo.
Apr 29th
I’m thinking again of getting a tattoo. Or as the young people call it – a tat!
Periodically I have this sudden urge to have some ink carved into my skin. I’ve thrown around ideas of crosses, and necklaces, Stars of David, and text. Today’s thought was, “Dead to sin.” in Hebrew, around my left wrist, say 2 inches from my hand. Then, if I liked what came out, “Alive in Christ.” also in Hebrew, on the other wrist. Same position.
Probably won’t happen. But we’ll see. I really do want a tattoo. Or as the young people call it… More >
Suleiman!!!
Apr 28th
So have a look at this picture…
Scary. Those were left in a 69 year old woman’s abdomen after an operation. For months! Ouch.
So naturally, I have to assume that Suleiman was the surgeon responsible. That’s where he’s been hiding… Australia!
(I had a class with Suleiman in Grade 9. Pretty level headed guy… he used to wear collared shirts – that’s got to count for something.)

Pertinent.

So the last few days I’ve been a busy man. The church (my employers) bought a whole crap-load of stuff from Toronto Airport’s old Terminal 1, which is in the process of being destroyed. So the rest of the maintenance team, and some lucky guests, and I, have been going to and from the airport in trucks of various sizes with loads of goods. Things like fire-extinguishers, desks, office dividers, posters, stanchions, vending machines… and 40K square feet of carpet.
I imagine we were a pretty funny sight on Monday, going in there with our brand new work boots and hard hats More >
That’s why…

I had a thought a little while ago, and something I said to theken reminded me of it.
Picture the Israelites, wandering the desert, and having to go outside the camp for 7 days every little while until they were cleansed of whatever mildew or dead person they had been in contact with. Now, don’t forget that the Israelite camp was made of some 3 million people, possibly much more, I don’t recall the numbers. That’s a big freakin camp. And even if the nation of Israel was divied up into it’s 12 tribes, you’d still have to get yourself outside a More >
Ouch.

Have you ever stapled your finger? I was just sitting here playing with a stapler, and I accidentally pushed it a little too hard, and ended up with a staple in my finger. I pulled it out, naturally, but it really hurts now.
Stupid thing to do. It went in really far!
On the town.
Apr 24th
Today was on the town day. Spending money day. I went with Jon Long down to Long and McQuade, for me to get some needles, and for him to get some effects stuff for his guitar.
I bought some Stanton needles, cost me 75$ (for a pair). Then I ended up buying some headphones as well. Got some Audio Technicas. 69.99$. But they’re good and comfy and sound great.
Then we hit up Metropolis Records and I bought 90$ worth of records. Good times had buy all, hehe, except poor Jon who had to sit there for an hour while I listened to More >

About bloody time
Apr 24th
My turntables arrived today! It took way too long, and I was getting annoyed, but at least. I have turntables. Hooray. For information’s sake I already had a mixer (Numark as well) that I bought a month or so back. Tomorrow I’m gonna try and pop into Long & McQuade to buy some needles (cartridges… whatever…). Exciting!
Also, I finally saw Kill Bill Vol 1 tonight. Yes… Vol 1. I quite liked it and shall make a point of seeing Vol 2, hopefully in theatres. Tarantino’s so hilarious. Nothing beats Pulp Fiction though. That’s on the top 10 list for sure. More >
