Because every post deserves a category these posts could be about anything and everything.

This has been a week to remember!

This week was just filled with activity, and next week does not look like it will get any slower. After announcing that I will be running for mayor the hit counter for this site spike to over 200 hits on Friday. This week coming up I’ve got work Tue, Wed, and Thu. Tomorrow and Wednesday I have Elsie Wayne Day Meetings. To finish off the week on Friday I will be bringing in my nomination papers at 11:30 am to the Municipal Returning Officer. Then later that day I will be at the Elsie Wayne Retirement Gala.

Merry Holiday Day!

As the year winds down I would like to thank you for reading my site there has been many changes for me over the past year. Not to mention this site moving 4 TIMES!!! since this time last year. Hopefully this will remain my home for years. It is paid for till November 2004 anyways. Enjoy your December 25th it only comes once a year!

Where have I been?

I have left all my blogger fans in the dark for 26 days now and it is now time to update you on what has gone on. 1st- After months of complaining on October 21st I received the call that I had been offered a job at Client Logic, and for the past 3.5 weeks I have worked there and loving it. 2nd- I’ve been working on the Intro for the Saint John Santa Claus Parade, which turned out to be an immense success. I am working on adding a section to my site to show off some of my Photo Shop stuff. It will be flash intensive and will be launched in early 2004. Other plans for this site is to bring back the calendar, and finally get a domain name. 3rd-I’ve been sick all the first half of November. 4th- I’m sorry I have not added anything to my novel, I will add some more this year. I’ll blog again soon

Little biters

Shew mutt!!! This morning I was bitten but a little black dog, that lives up the street. This dog truly was an ankle bitter as he bit me in the ankle. Today I paid off my New Brunswick Student Loan that is a $2662 of debt I no longer have to worry about.

What’s UP!!!

Hello all, I’ve just had dinner at my mothers, and am ready to take on this new week. I am determined that by the end of this week I will finally have a job. And as asked for I will have an update on my novel by the end of the week. I’ve had several requests about what happens to Roger and as soon as I figure it out I will add about 1000 new words to my novel. Have a great week!

Wow, what a week!!!

Not much is different from the past several weeks except, I have received 2 calls in the past two days, from places I dropped off resumes at, none of which were from my top 5 list but at least I received a call. Next up is I have looked into getting my driver’s license, I was impressed with the very good information I got from Young Drivers I think I will go with them as soon as I can conjure up $549. Onto the third topic, I’m excited about the new TV season, after about three years there is good TV. So after seeing the shows here is my TV Top Ten List: 10. Too Close to Call (Rogers Television) I just had to add one that I help make. And Dave Deline is very Interesting. 9. Trading Spaces (TLC) It kinda makes you want to get off the couch and do some decorating… Kind of 8. Malcom on the Middle (Global) This is a truly funny show. 7. Trailer Park Boys (Showcase) I just love stupid Canadian Shows. 6. 8 Simple Rules for Dating my Teenage Daughter (ABC) This is just a classic great show. 5. Everybody Loves Raymond…

What’s up!!!

While this week has been remarkably interesting. I’ve left Saint John twice this past week. On Tuesday, I went to Fredericton and on Wednesday I went to Moncton, both days to help shoot promos for the upcoming season on Rogers Television. I’ve also had two rolls of film developed recently, some of the pictures have turned out well. I’ve also got a set of digital pictures as well. I’ll be formatting them and posting them as 3 new photo albums on my website. I’m going to use html format and not the flash because I found a program that makes them automatically and is a lot easier. I’ve also was doing TV Bingo this past week; it is great to have it back. Especially since Jeff and Tony are the best. This week I’m going to continue some job hunting on Monday and Tuesday. And on Monday at 11:15 I have an appointment to have photos taken at the Sears Portrait Studio. TTFN

New Blogger Features!!!

I’ve played with some of the new features, and they truly improve the blogging experience. The main one is the spellcheck feature. I’ve fixed all the spelling in my blog back to mid July. It would take too long to fix the blog back to December of 2002 when I started blogging. Another feature I like is the post title. It gives it the ease of deciding what post you want to see.

The Past

For the years have gone All the good times passed With lasting impressions Rarely to be seen again. For the years have gone All your friends have moved on With lasting impressions Rarely to be seen again. For the years have gone All the songs being sung. With lasting impressions Rarely to be seen again.

Making a TV Show

Note: This article was originally written for Journalism 2023 Journalistic Writing in November 2002. The 50th Annual Saint John Santa Claus Parade comes around for another year. This was a difficult production for producer Don Ferguson to organize volunteers. In addition, the float list was only available late on Friday afternoon. Three hours before the parade was to begin, we headed down the hill to set up the equipment. On arrival, we realized the taped introduction had the old TVNB logo and Parade 2001 on it. It was determined that we could just cover it up with graphics, but at about the time the parade was about to start to come down the hill the tape got jammed in the machine and I had about 2 minutes to come up with an alternative. Then the parade went really well until the floats stopped coming down the hill in order of the list and then it was a scramble of; What float is it, type it in, bring it up and take it down and repeat for about forty or so floats. After a hard day of work, after the family dinner, many families sit down to feed their brains with…
