Believe it or not, there are some things that I will not blog about, or just blog about in very general / vague / cryptic terms. À la Hilly if you will. Some of these things are things I simply choose to ignore – for lack of interest most of the time, even though a good “You know what I dislike about this” post often makes for a fairly interesting read. Some of these things are just things that are off-limits for decency stake. Some of these things are just too easy for you the reader to link to specific individuals or events at my workplace. Of course, let’s not forget the stuff that I choose to keep personnal, like parts of my home life, my family’s life and pretty much anything involving intimate details about LovelyWife and the Kids.

But every now and again, something will happen and my first reaction will be to share it with the world. 

Then I’ll catch myself and realize that I can’t do that without risking either my job, my family life or my friends. 

What to do when that happens? Not to worry, I have options. I was an Evil Genius before being Canadia’s Blogger. It’s right up there in the banner underneath all that liquid paper.

Chat it!

You might be one of the few people that I chat with on a regular or semi-regular basis. If you are, you know that I will sometimes blurt some information about events as they are happening, without filtering anything. This is by far the best way to read the outrageous events happening in LeSombre’s world as they are happening. In a way, this is the utlimate voyeur package. 

Twitter it!

If you follow me on Twitter, you’ll have the pleasure – or the displeasure – of reading some of the family and most of the work related situations that I experience, almost as they happen. Of course, some of the stuff I Tweet is slightly edited for duration and funniness, but you’ll basically get 85 to 90% of the raw story. 

This also explain why I have none of my coworkers, none of my family and only some of my F2F friends following me on Twitter. It’s not that they don’t want to follow me, it’s that I don’t allow them to follow me. Twitter is one of the rare place where I can have a mini-meltdown, maybe get a few replies and move on without having to talk about what that tweet really meant for the next 5 years. 

Blog it!

I know, this seems to go against the very core of this post, but I can blog about anything and everything on a blog that can’t be linked to me. Not that I have one of these blogs at my disposal. Or more than one. Wink wink.

Ahem.

Now let me tell you what happened to me today…

It’s Monday. I miss the week-end already.

The Week in preview

Here’s what’s gonna happen to me this week:

Monday

I’ll get some flak from the Interwebz for making this crappy stunt post. At least, it’s not like there’s a controversy regarding my death or anything. And one last thing: I was there when Stile did it.

Tuesday

I’ll renew my bus pass for April. I live an exciting life. 

Wednesday

In a really really bad twist on an April Fool’s joke, I’ll end up with a massive quantity M&Ms. And to think that it’ll all start with a badly timed bald joke.

Thursday

Still reeling from yesterday’s events, I’ll fall down the stairs at the office. My absence will not be noticed because people will never think of looking for me in the frakin’ stairs. 

Friday

About 130m of snow (400′) will fall on the National Capital. Canadians shrug and life goes on. Meh. 

Saturday

Hockey night in Canada is postponed because all the players have a weird case of not finding their laces. This will prompt Benoit Brunet to say: “I think the first team to make it on the ice and score a goal will take a serious option on the game”.

Sunday

It’ll be once more 23:30, and I’ll still be looking for something to post for Monday.

+++++

As I’m writing this, LovelyWife is watching the Amazing Race. They have a one-arm tiger handler. That’s funnier than anything I could come up with. 

I bow down.

But he’s pretty smart. And sexy (I’m told). He also has his own CutieWife.

And of course I have to insert a picture of my LovelyWife.

All the kids had tons of fun.

Every time my Brother (not a doctor) jokes that he lives 20 minutes away, I can’t help thinking that he really lives 200 minutes away.  

I already miss you Bro.

I’m always amazed how easy it is to form decent relationships with people I never met / met once or twice IRL, and at the same time I have a hard time keeping relationships with people I see almost every day. 

Hey, this is not one of those “let’s define friendship” posts. I’ve already stated my position of friendship, and it hasn’t changed much since. 

I think the issue with people you see on a regular basis is the cumul of all their little quirks – they slowly erode the umbrella of my indifference. At first I focus on the good quirks, but after a while the bad quirks take over and mess up the whole thing.

Anyways, I’m pledging to have more me time in the future. I never get tired of me. I can’t get enough of me really. 

Plus, I’m already aware of all my bad quirks.

I had a craptrastic day, so I thought I’d toss some ELO out. This is inspired by Delmer, of course.

(Not the crappy day, the ELO reference)

Here are a few sure signs that spring is here! Oh boy!

HotDogDude is back

There’s playoff talk in the air

But most importantly:

The Africa Project is done!!!
