A new study has found that all residents of Richmond have increased brain activity which could lead to telepathic powers.
This telepathic link that all Richmond residents seem to share results in the ability to anticipate each others moves before it even happens. The most obvious display of this telepathic connection comes when they drive automobiles. Needless to visually display their intentions to change lanes by using car signals, Richmond residents simply change lanes without notice. At least it's without notice to those lacking in the telepathic skills.
This new step in the evolution ladder does come at a cost though. With the increased activity in the brain to sustain the telepathic powers, it is believed that visual skills such as peripheral vision is next to non-existent. As is common sense.

Stakeout Not Going So Well
The longer I wait here, the more pissed I'm getting. This is what Hulk feels like when he's stood up. He sits at the restaurant, waiting for his date, and she doesn't show up. And the stupid waiter keeps coming by asking if he wants more bread. Hulk doesn't want more bread, Hulk wants to rear naked choke this son of a bitch.
Adrenaline is gone, I think it was gone half an hour ago. Fatigue is consuming me. Staring out into the dimly lit streets is not helping at all. Why are street lights a boring yellowy orange. We need bright white lights. Maybe crime would be reduced if the streets were better lit.
I'm not going to last to 4AM, who robs at 4AM? By 4AM I'd be way too tired to rob someone. This is probably why I'm not a criminal. I'd be a horrible cop too, with me wearing down after 2 and a half hours of stake out.
If this guy doesn't show up soon I might have to stake out tomorrow too. Being a vigilante is tough, how does Casey Jones do it? Any chance I get to reference TMNT, I'll take it!

Attack Strategy
2AM, and this is no fun. I started thinking about what I'm going to do to this guy when he shows up. First off I'm going to club him in the face with these metal rods. Then I'm going to rear naked choke him, cause I've always wanted to rear naked choke someone. I'm going to kimura both his arms until he taps. Then I'm going to figure four leg lock this son of a bitch, and repeatedly "Wooooooo" in his face. And to finish it off I'm going to pull out a q-tip from my pocket and jam it in his ear.
That's a little harsh, kind of overkill. No one deserves to be put in a figure four leg lock. Even if he is going around trying to rob good honest people. By good I mean good intentions when I say I'm going to rear naked choke him. And by honest I mean I'm honestly going to club him in the face.

Stake Outs Work Alot Better With Two People
So here I am sitting in front of my living room window, staking out waiting for this low life to show up again. I just got back from hockey, so I'm not really tired physically, but mentally, there's not much to do.
I've heard that the best time to rob someone is at 4AM, because that's the time most people are in deep sleep. Right now it's 1AM...
Amanda's provided me with two metal rods as weapons. On my way home from hockey, I usually lay my gear out in the garage, but I saw a skunk on my way there so I just put my gear in the house. I wonder how freaked out this guy will be if I go out there in full gear?
Staking out alone sucks, I'm lacking doughnuts, drinks, and a stake out partner. If I had a stakeout partner, now would be the time when I'd ask him, would you rather sleep with an obese girl or a really hot tranny. I'm gonna be dead tired tomorrow. This would work a lot better if I twittered rather then blogged.

You're Dead
Glo noticed yesterday that something was wrong with the car's passenger's side door handle. The paint underneath the handle was chipped, and the whole handle was a little loose. Upon further inspection it's pretty clear that someone tried to break into my car.
I work seven days a weak to make ends meet, and this worthless piece of shit who instead of working for money, decides to break into my car. Now I have to go and get my car fixed because of this asshole.
He didn't get into my car, but he did a number on the handle, probably not worthwhile to pay the deductible for my insurance either. Being halfway in already, I can only assume that he's going to come back.
He's dead, I have hockey tonight, and I usually can't sleep cause I'm chalked up on adrenaline anyways. I'm going to put my old cell phone in the car, and if he comes back, I'm going to do society a favour.

Worthless Review
Falling sick from some mysterious virus, I managed to get through a week of working in Langley. With it being Valentine's Day, Glo and I went to Shore Club for dinner. I have a horrible palate, I can't taste out ingredients. My memory of food is awful, ask me to compare two dishes, and I'll draw a blank. Combine this with my stuffed nose and you have the worse food critic in the world...
Upon entering Shore Club, we were greeted by the hostess who offered to take my jacket. She then led us up a flight of spiraling stairs to the second level. The restaurant / lounge had a romantic atmosphere with dark candle lighting and a piano on the first floor.
Looking at the menu we chose to start with the Clam Casino appetizer. Our waiter told us the clams this time of the year were really small, so we chose the Popcorn fried shrimp. The penny sized shrimps had what looked like ramen seasoning on it. Dipped in an orange mayo sauce I started to eat the shrimp. Texture wise it felt like popcorn chicken, taste wise it was kind of tasteless. Maybe it was the sauce? Maybe it was the seasoning? Maybe it was the fact that my nose was completely clogged. Whatever the reason was I was far from impressed.
Then came the entrees. I had the rib steak, and Glo had the buttermilk fried chicken. My steak felt a little more cooked then medium rare, and tasted a little tasteless. Glo's chicken was surprisingly tasteless, despite the buttermilk chicken skin.
We ordered scallop potatoes and salt and vinegar string fries to compliment our entrees. The salt and vinegar fries could've used some more salt and vinegar, and the potatoes could've used some more taste.
Glo seemed to really like the dinner, she tried to describe the taste to me, but it just wasn't the same. Looks like I'll have to go back.

Ultimate Showdown
I started watching 24 during the summer and seeing Jack Bauer completely dominate terrorists, it was inevitable that he'd be compared to the greatest assassin of all time: Leon the Professional.
Leon the Professional vs Jack Bauer
What Kind Of Credentials
Leon:
We don't know much about Leon's past, as far as we know he's always been a "cleaner."
Bauer:
US Army Delta Force, LAPD SWAT, CIA, and Counter Terrorist Unit
Winner: Bauer; you can't beat those credentials.
Willingness To Kill
Leon:
Leon wouldn't hesitate to shoot you between the eyes if you're on his hit list. But only if you're not a woman or a child. His mantra: "No women or children."
Bauer:
Jack Bauer would scrape your eyes out with a knife. And if you still didn't talk he'd threaten your family, be it your wife or kids.
Winner: Bauer; Bauer is a cold cold man.
Successor
Leon:
Leon trains Mathilda to use the sniper rifle, as well as other firearms. He also teaches her the proper way to be a "cleaner."
Bauer:
Kim Bauer is damn annoying. That is all.
Winner: Leon; There needs to be a Leon the Professional 2. They need to sign Natalie Portman on ASAP.
One Man Wrecking Crew
Leon:
Leon goes through half the movie on his own, then half way though he takes on the burden of taking care of Mathilda.
Bauer:
Even though he's saved the world six times and counting, he's always had someone there to help him. Seldom doing it all on his own.
Winner: Leon; Bauer's feats are far greater in worth, but doesn't ever do it all by himself.
Gun Slinging Showdown
Leon:
In the final action scene of Leon the Professional, we see Leon take on an entire NYPD Emergency Service Unit. All the while rescuing Mathilda and seeing her to safety.
Bauer:
Bauer fought off an entire Coral Snake Commando unit.
Winner: Bauer; an entire commando unit is far better trained then the NYPD ESU.
Winner:
Jack Bauer
The man's a beast. He's got strings linking him all the way to the President. His pistol can shoot down helicopters. He has a healing factor that rivals Wolverine. And he's as righteous as a boy scout. Sorry Leon, but Bauer's got your number in this one. But I'd still like to see the Professional 2.

Willowbrook Woes
Today was the first day at Willowbrook mall. There on Booth duties again, I expected everything to go smoothly, having done this twice before. Despite the best efforts of the team the week before, we still made some avoidable mistakes.
I spent the whole day talking about the Tax Free Savings Account. Not as much interest as I had hoped, but those that were interested, the TFSA practically sold itself.
Nine hours from when we setup, the team was exhausted. Knees were hurting, and the lower back was strained. One day down, and six days to go, this could be a long week for me.

Overtime Heartbreak
With the last game between the Sharks and the Killer Ice Bunnies ending in a 7-1 win for the Sharks, the Bunnies called up their "ringers" to play.
The game started with the Bunnies jumping up to a 1-0 lead, with the Sharks tying it up a few minutes later. A highlight reel goal from the Sharks when one of the players did a spin-o-rama pass. With the goalie caught admiring the move, Wes had a wide open net to shoot at.
During the second, the Bunnies put in another past our net minder, and carried a 2-1 lead to the third.
The third period started out physical with both sides landing hits, even though it's a no-contact league. Hooks, holds, and slashes came from both sides, as the Sharks were trying to tie up the game to force overtime.
With the clock ticking down, the Sharks managed to get one past the Bunnies' goalie with a well placed shot, blocker side to tie up the game. With the minutes counting down, both teams looked content on gaining the loser point and going into overtime.
Overtime came and went by in a blur as one of the Bunnies' ringers stole the puck and put it up and over the shoulder of the Sharks goalie to take the game in overtime 3-2.
Mental note: the Bunnies goalie had a real confident glove hand, I counted 4 glove saves.

Tracing My Roots
I ran into this site called Public Profiler (http://www.publicprofiler.org/worldnames). You type in a surname and it shows you where in the world your last name is most popular. And so I did the only logical thing, I typed in Skywalker.
I expected the site to show a promp telling me to get a life, but to my surprise:
There's was a high concentration of Skywalkers in Canada! Clicking further I found that Ontario had the most Skywalkers.
New Zealand had the highest concentration of Skywalkers, so this leads me to the conclusion that I have been living in the wrong part of the world all my life. If I have any hope of meeting anyone carrying the Skywalker lineage I need to move to Ottawa, or New Zealand.
