      It's my Dad's birthday today, I miss him. This song reminds me of him in a way. So great choice. 

  3. As a whole, Vanek + Holm for Leipsic, Motte, and Jokinen is not terrible.

      It's OK, and like @Nuxfanabroad said, it represents something from nothing.

      Benning did good IMO.

  5. Sad to hear Quentin Tarantino is allegedly another film industry POS.

      I don't know anything about any allegations, but despite enjoying some of his movies I've always thought he was an over-rated ass.

  6. Eh. Harris was good offensively, but Bradley would have been let go. Made the best out of some assets we would have otherwise lost or lost value on.

      Nice wordplay will always be in demand(one form or another). On death..consider this great "Onion" header, from when Jerry Garcia passed on... "Head Deadhead Dead"

  9. So for the first time ever I guess, I was sleeping and in my dream I went to sleep and dreamt again - twice in the same dream. Literally inception right there.

      I used to have that fairly often, but it's been a long time since that now. It's pretty weird when you finally wake up and realize what happened. I've probably gone even one layer deeper once or twice with a dream within a dream within a dream.

      This is why I don't sleep.

      girls are good, sometimes.

  11. It’s true, I do feel a little better now. I don’t feel I have to get ‘up’ for events - I’m just about half extrovert - but once I come back ‘down’ it feels like all those things were just distracting me, and there’s always some “straws that could break the camel’s back” that I end up finding with things that I’ve done.
  12. Sometimes I want to be alone and can’t be. Other times I’m alone when I don’t want to be, and all my thought processes end up coming to is that I’m an @$$hole. Some people’s biggest fear is losing the people they love, mine is that I’ll be the reason they’re lost. That I’ll just screw up bad enough for bridges to be burned. Edit: sorry for unloading this all last night. Hope you guys have a merry Christmas.
  13. It’s nice to know that SunLife Financial expects me to die by the end of 2083.

      @smithers joe scientists are predicting that the generation being born today is going to live forever thanks to genetic engineering. So we should leave them with lots of debt.

      If they followed the comics there would be A LOT more characters.

  15. The Real McKenzies' "Two Devils Will Talk" is a solid album from beginning to end. Something you don't find much of these days.

      I thought this was reposting a Bob McKenzie tweet ... I'd look up the song and listen... but can't use volume right now :(

      They've been awesome for years. 

      Even in the lead singers Enigma days.

       

       

  16. Here’s hoping $15/hr for Ontario is a success - but a sharp raise in minimum wage is a dangerous game for any government to be playing.

      They did this in Seattle.  It's not at $15.00 yet, but it did go up, and now rent is ridiculously high.  $1500 is the norm, and most buildings do not include utilities. 

    3. Drive-By Body Pierce

      Well, in Vancouver and Victoria, the average rent is already well above $1500.

      Even with rent controls, I think this is not the right way to address income inequality. It puts undue strain on small businesses, and to keep their profit margins, companies will end up laying off workers, raising prices, buying/selling cheaper and lesser quality goods, or some combination of the three.

       

      Not to mention that people who have worked an minimum wage position for a long time will now be making the same as someone just starting, so you end up with either a bunch of disgruntled veteran workers or, if you raise their wages as well, a society on the fast track to hyperinflation.

       

      There has to be a better way to fix income inequality.

  17. Gudbranson to Edmonton for their 2018 1st. Who says no?

      When we finally make the playoffs again we will want a player like Gudbranson on the back end to clear the crease and be a presence over a 7 game series. Tanev, Edler, Holm, Pouliot, Stetcher, Juolevi, Biega or whoever else is back there will get pushed around for 7 games. People who want Guddy gone are forgetting that the rules change in May.

      @Fateless I can - we are one of the best teams in terms of ga/60 even though the shots are up a bit (suggesting a positive effect on lowering quality scoring chances), and individually he leads the team in on-ice save percentage at 96.4% (https://www.hockey-reference.com/players/g/gudbrer01.html)

       

      I'd also argue many times he's going for that hit, not making up for perfect positioning. Its very hard to do both. 

    4. Time Lord

      ^That can actually be used against him. A save percentage of 96.4 is unsustainable.

  18. They say good things come to those who wait

    So Ima be at least about an hour late

      how'd that work out for you?

      It's pathetic to see his buddies vilify his sexual misconduct but preface it with "I was shocked and appalled when I found out." 

       

      This story began circulating online in 2010. And people dismissed it as trolling. Whatever.

      PS: No idea if anyone likes the band Brand New, but the lead singer was just accused of sexual misconduct of a 15 year old girl. So, goodbye to them. 

  21. I graduated high school way too early and I’m only turning 20 next month, but I’ll be darned if I don’t feel old hearing when all my friends graduated high school. Even my RAs graduated after me.
  22. Somehow had one of the best sleeps in my life in less than 4 hours. Would have taken an average sleep over 7/8 hours, though - I got a midterm in the late afternoon.

      On the bright side, I’ve got good grades, great friends, I’m mostly healthy, the Canucks and the Pistons are on a roll, I’ve got some new money in my bank account, and I’m going to a wedding next week and I feel like I take all of this for granted. Life is good
