So this happened

Instead of closing down my blog completely I moved it to a platform I enjoy blogging on more; tumblr.

I basically did the opposite of what I said two posts down. Instead of getting rid of my name on the net so future employers couldn't find it, I put it out there even more by buying DaveBurrows.ca (true story. it will be up in a month or so, just very basic stuff, though).

I decided transparency is basically where all this online stuff is going so I might as well embrace it and try and have some idea of what someone will see if they're looking for me.

I appreciate all the people that read my randomness on here and commented over the years, I'd like it very much if you continued to pay attention to me over at my new location.

See you around.

Eyes of mine, guard that which is thine

It was a good run....

I think this is it ladies and gentleman. I think it's time to shut this old blog down.

I don't really have time to update it anymore and what use is it just sitting here? For years I've read how employers will google a potential employees name and read their blog, I could care less. No one I would work for would care about some of the ridiculousness I have stored here. But as I get older I realize that eventually I'll have to work for someone, somewhere, who would, at the very least, roll their eyes at some of the shenanigans I've posted of myself online. So, if I'm not going to update this, if it's not going to serve a purpose, I might as well set it to private so it's not a hindrance.

I'm going to take a few days and think it over. Obviously this is not goodbye as everyone who reads this blog has me on facebook (though I might be getting rid of that as well so this might be a good time to write down my email) so there is no need for crying.

Talk to you later.

Only voters have the right to decide on the coalition

Click the link.

"The coalition partners, moreover, did not run on a platform of forming a coalition; indeed, the Liberals' Stéphane Dion denied that he would make a coalition with the NDP. In countries where coalition governments are common, parties reveal their alliances so that citizens can know how their votes will affect the composition of the executive after the election. In stark contrast, those who voted for the Liberals, NDP or Bloc in the last election could not possibly have known they were choosing a Liberal-NDP government supported by a secret protocol with the Bloc."

Conversation with the littlest brother

As my 11 year old brother and I sit down for a game of NHL09 on Playstation some smack talk begins...

Me: Marcus, I'm going to beat you so bad you're going to be feeling it even when I'm on the plane back to Winnipeg.
Marcus: Yea well, I'm going to beat you so bad you're going to be crying to your mother about it. Even after your mother is loooooong gone.
Me: Uhhhh....

Too far.

Dude, shouldn't you be studying or something?

Note to self

You need to save up money and fast. For grad school, moving back to B.C. and to go to this guys wedding...



Since you left your laptop in Winnipeg (ya big dummy) here are some websites you should bookmark to help keep you motivated:

• Wise Bread
• Frugal Dad
• Frugal Village

Just save some money already, it'll be worth it.
