Schindler's Lesser Know List
Well, well looky here, Big Ben writing on this blog. Memoirs of an Oversized Canadian has been in a coma for a while and I, as the closest relative have refused to pull the plug. I see the chest slowly move up and down and think maybe my blog will come back to life, be the blog it used to be. I know I'm kidding myself, God has a plan for this blog, He will tell me when it is time for it to go.
Okay that is all bullshit, I'm just too lazy, too busy and don't have anything left to say, and if there is a God and he reads this blog, he should leave a comment.
I'm a mind numbing corporate sell out these days, who has not nightmares, but pleasant dreams about work. I think about mortgages, RESPs, retirement planning, living green, being a better person - all kinds of weird shit.
Most of the time I spend at home on the internet I'm doing work research (true), perusing baseball related websites (no surprise), and looking at shoes online (also true - www.largefeet.com).

I have had a lot of topics running through my head over the last few months, none really struck me as worthy of a blog post:
1) My mom turned 60 and had a party, I was a little surprised that a couple of her friends were borderline GILFs.
2) When during a pregnancy is the baby a human, six weeks, 3 months, 7 months, when the spermy busts into the egg? Would the baby actually need to come out of the vagina to qualify for a spot in heaven (what if it dies when a baby dies when it is only half way out)? If anti-abortionists think abortion is killing a baby, they must think babies are human while still in the womb. My question is, if that is true, do fetuses go to heaven, and if they do, do they grow up, or do they stay fetuses? I don't want to go up to heaven and find a pile of fetuses in the corner. If they do grow up, who takes care of these kids? It can't totally be heaven if some people have to raise kids, kids can be annoying as hell. If you believe in heaven, you certainly have a lot to think about.
3) I was chatting with an American friend of mine who is not happy with universal health care. He says "get a job" that provides health care, why should he have to pay for lazy people to get coverage. Trusted I don't know exactly how this system is going to work, but I find it funny that so many Americans can't think of anyone other than themselves. I really think that is is rooted in racism, white people don't want to pay for the health care of poor lazy blacks and mexicans, they won't say it, but they certainly think it.
4) Last year, I talked about how disappointed I was when only 4 people showed up for my birthday party (3 were my wife's friends). Well despite that turnout, I planned another party this year, so far 23 people have said they would come via our Evite, and not one person has declined. Maybe they read my blog and felt sorry for me? Anyway, that is not the reason for writing this point. I'm writing this point to complain about the guy that talks to other people about a party and asks if they are going, and they don't know if that person was invited. It puts you in this really awkward position. The evite has everyone that is invited on there! I always invite people to things and the same group of folks show up, so eventually you stop inviting those other people, save them from coming up with an excuse, or having to take they time out of their day to respond.
5) Could the Rock be any more of a sell out? The Tooth Fairy? What won't his guy do for a paycheque? Remember when this guy played a tough guy. I may be a sell out, but I need the money, he doesn't.
See ya in another month or so, unless "he" ends my blog!
