So we were having fun strolling at the Ottawa Tulip Festival,
Taking some pictures, enjoying the flowers, minding our own business.
Tyler is 7 months today.

Then this guy came and approached us.
He had his own camera setup, with a tripod, lenses and everything.
He Looked like an amateur photographer.

He asked me what kind of digital camera I have.
So I said, Oh it’s a SONY DSC-P30.
An old model, I bought about a year and a half ago.

Then we talked about new Cameras, Mega Pixels,
Memory, Resolution and stuff.

Now I am not a professional Camera guy,
but I know what the terminologies are, because I got one
and I can carry out a pretty descent conversation.

Then he started telling me about the new ones,
features and what have you,
then he started giving me advice on where to get them.

He said,
“You know, you can get them pretty much cheap here.
The Canadian dollar is getting very strong,
Do not order one from the States.
You know those Bloodsuckers south of the border would charge you a lot.”

—at this point,
Tracy is getting Tyler situated in his stroller,
as I answered the guy back.

I said,
“Well with all the tax that they add here, wouldn’t it cost the same?”

He said,
“Yeah that’s right, but you don’t get ripped off with the shipping.
Those “bloodsuckers” down there will get you any way they can.”

–at this point,
I can hear Tracy’s neck creaking shaking from side to side.

Then I said,
“Well, we are from the States, and it would be easier for me to buy it down there.”
(in my most polite voice)

Now he immediately replied,
“Oh really?? where in the States??”

–at this point,
I can hear the embarrassment gargling inside his mouth.

I said,
“New York.”

Then he looked at Tyler, and said,
“Well, He’s a very good looking little boy.
You’ve done a pretty good job here, you should make one or two more.
Have a nice day!!”

–at this point,
I can hear Tracy snorting as she starts to push Tyler,
heading towards the chocolate fondue food stand.

and me?

I was like…

TYRONE = 1

FAT ASS GUY WITH FOOT IN MOUTH = 0

Moral of the story?
Do not expect everyone to think like you.
Oh! and keep your mouth shut.

Happy (first) Mother’s day,
Mommy!!

We love you very much!
Daddy said he has a “small” “BIG” surprise for you later,
after I go to sleep.

Oh My God!!!

I want this! I want this! I want this!
I want this! I want this! I want this!
I want this! I want this! I want this!

Everytime I put Tyler to sleep,
something would always happen.
Today was even extra annoying!

Last night, Tyler was sick, and he threw up twice.
And I mean, projectile-Exorcist-movie-style vomit.
He has been cranky all day, wiggles and squirms too.
Which makes him very very tired.
But, he is so curious of everything around him,
that he would do absolutely anything to keep himself awake.

Making him go to sleep, or even a nap is like
forcing a circle where a square should be.

So we work so hard to put him to sleep,
Tyler will fight it like a fly caught in a spider’s web
Once he gives in and falls asleep.
The phone would ring.
I mean every freakin’ time.

It’s like someone is doing a constant
surveillance on us,

like:

Okay, the kid is asleep…
Now he is laying him down…
okay…okay… steady…..steady…
ready on the speed dial….
steady……steaaadddyyyyy..
NOW!!!!!!!!!!..

RIIIIINNNGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AAAHHHHHH!!MMMTTHHRRFFFRRRCCKKKKAAAAAAAAA!!!!

It never fails.

It’s either the phone,
or Nimbus would see his boyfriend Sparky outside,
Barking like crazy, wanting to smell his nuts.

Tracy and I almost lost it, and told everybody off.
She is tired, I am tired,
and Tyler is sick.

And to finish our night,
at around 8 o’ clock,
some guy from Bell Canada rang our doorbell.
(which drove the dog crazy and charged to the door, barking, slipping and sliding like a cartoon)
Then this guy is asking if we have internet
and if we would like to subscribe to Sympatico.

I mean come on!!!
8 o’ clock at night?
Tracy almost tore his head off.
I swear.

You know sometimes,
Tracy and I talk about other Parents, who have kids.
and how they deal with situations like this.
Or better yet,
Parent’s who have twins or triplets.

She said,
“You never hear about those people complaining.”

I said,
“Yes. That’s because I think they already killed themselves. “

I need some sleep.
Oh and a happy Cinco de Mayo!

Last Friday’s Friday Five.

When I worry, and I can’t sleep
I count my blessings, instead of sheep.
I think it was sang by Ella Fitzgerald.

I ended up with Tracy’s Favorite. (Julia Roberts)
I can’t wait to see X-men 2
(Cool Flash anim.)

Tonight, I helped the Ottawa Senators
win game 3 against the Flyers.

How did I do it?

During the crucial moment when they really need to score,
I switched to another channel.

Yup.
Everytime I watch them, they lose.
You know why they lost Game 2? I watched the whole game.

I sometimes have to force myself to watch crappy tv shows like
Popstars or any reality show.

Hopefully, we get Game 4 too.
Let’s check the TV guide what else is on that day.

Ooohhhh! Scooby doo on The Movie Network.
If I was Shaggy.. I’ll be like – Zooiikkss!!

1. What was the last TV show you watched?

— Tech TV/Extended Play

2. What was the last thing you complained about?

— The Stickers that they stick on fruits. Sometimes I just don’t bother.

3. Who was the last person you complimented and what did you say?

— I complimented my ever loving Tracy for a nice, excellent meal she made me.

4. What was the last thing you threw away?

–– It’s garbage day today, so I took them all out.
Oh and all the freakin’ flyers they stick in my mail box.

5. What was the last website (besides this one) that you visited?

— Hotscripts.com I want to make this site fully php.

But Maybe I should learn PHP first.

Now I am going to start something here.
I know it don’t matter much but it would be thought provoking.

Wednesday What If,
and Friday Five.

Basically, it’s just questions that’ll make one think.

You can email me what your answers are
and maybe I’ll post it up here.

Don’t worry,
Nobody reads this crap I write.

So here we go… I know it’s a day late, but what the heck.

WEDNESDAY WHAT IF

1. What if you awoke one morning to discover that, overnight,
everyone else in the world had perished, leaving you to be the sole human on the planet?

— This question is not fair, Who will help me to reproduce and continue the Human Race?
Then I will go to the nearest Sony Store. Hahaha!!

2. What if you awoke one morning to find that, overnight, you’d transformed into a member
of the opposite gender (if you’re a guy, you woke up as a girl, and vice versa)?

–Now the common joker would probably answer this question with a sexual innuendo.
Not me!! If this happens, I would be like,

– On behalf of all womankind,
Enough with the commercials about our period and Sanitary Napkins and Tampax crap!
I think people know already that if a woman has her period,
she will go and get something for it.
You don’t see guys advertising about Jock itch!

3. What if you awoke one morning to find that you were living in the year 3003?

— I’ll be like, Dude, where’s my car?

4. What if you awoke one morning to the realization that you had somehow
lost all four of your limbs?

–I’ll be like, Oh Shit. My secret zones itch.

5. What if you awoke one morning to discover that everyone in the world
looked exactly the same… including you?

–I’ll be like, Hey Dude, what’s your name again??

Leave it to me to mess this questions up.

I think my son is going through a phase.

It’s “Let’s see if Dad will kill himself if I don’t let him sleep” Phase.

I think I am still in the game.

“You know the world’s gone mad when:

The best rapper is a white guy,

The best golfer is a black guy,

The tallest guy in the NBA is Chinese,

The Swiss hold the America’s Cup,

France is accusing the USA of arrogance,

And the Germans don’t want to go to war!”

Quote by Chris Rock.

That’s funny.
