Guess I Forgot About This...

Well...

It's been a while. A long while. Here's an update!

For those precise folks who love numbers like me, its been exactly 290 days in this small, yet somewhat likable town. For those wondering, I did learn and near master the art of male laundry.

Quick lesson on male laundry:

Step 1: Gather all clothes from floor
Step 2: Shove into washing machine until no more clothes fit
Step 3: Set to "Quick", add soap and run
Step 4: Repeat above 3 steps for drier excluding soap
Step 5: Find a place to put clothes where folding is not necessary


Aside from wearing mostly wrinkled clothes all year, the living away from home experience has been very pleasant. Mind you, my monthly trips to my parents' house were great for restocking my refrigerator. Over these months I've met a lot of new people and lived with some interesting characters. But I'm not one to judge.. well, sometimes.

Summer was great here. Finally put my road bike to work on weekends and ran a 5 km in under half an hour. Unfortunately that's the extent of my outdoor fitness. Still not bad Jay *pats self on back*. I did basically stop working out in the summer months and am having trouble getting back into the gym as much as I used to, but I'll chalk that up to a "I'm getting there".

Some highlights.. (assholes who don't give a shit can skip this section)
Ran, well mostly walked, briskly, Tough Mudder 2014. Improving on the obstacles from the previous year despite the typoon (okay, heavy rain) conditions. Saw an NFL game in Detroit.. yeah, fucking Detroit. But it wasn't as bad as I thought, fun actually. Experienced my first Canadian/US border vehicle search.. yeah that sucked.
There's plenty more, but I'm just bored of writing about them.

Work is going well.

I've also logged a good 50 hours barbecuing since I refuse to use the oven. That shit is just too slow.

Its been a great time here in Sarnia but I'm looking forward to moving back home for a few months before I ship off again.

Until next time!

Euroblog Part 7

This series ended up being far longer than I anticipated. I could make an ebook about my travels! Who am I kidding, no one would want to read that... let alone buy it. Also, side note: Polarsteps was so great up until a couple days ago when it went haywire and threw a bunch of phantom travel paths on my map. Support said it has been fixed however, there was no way to remove the phantom lines. This all makes for a ton of work for me to redo all of the travel steps. It's unfortunate but I understand these things happen. Anyway, it's all updated now and working as it should, sorry to my 7000  7 followers for any inconvenience. Now that it's all back to normal, here is the link if you'd like to check out my trip! If you missed any of the series, check it out on my social media feeds or on my blog homepage. The last post is right here! July 22 2017 Wow, am I ever behind on this. [Left off in Florence] So I went up the massive dome of the Florence Cathedral...

Let's Talk About Timelines

This was originally going to be solely a discussion on time travel. However, discussing the timeline is a rather good starting point before or while discussing time travel. I've always wanted to write about my thoughts on time and time travel. It is one of those obscure enough topics where anyone can theorize about the generalities of it. But are those theories based in any realm of realism? There are well-respected theorists like Stephen Hawking who have gone into great detail regarding time travel. There are a ton of TV shows and movies which go to great lengths to be as accurate as possible. In our current understanding of physics, time travel is mathematically allowed. But the reality is that we just don't know, yet. Perhaps there is another law of physics we have yet to discover which proves time travel is fundamentally not possible. But it's fun to think about regardless. Let's start simple. If I were to build a time machine right now, would I be able to use i...

My Covid-19 Analysis

Hi Everyone. Been a while... We live in interesting times right now. There is a global behavioural shift happening all because of this nanoscale warrior that barley classifies as a living thing. Covid-19 has disrupted the world faster and more efficiently than almost any other thing in the last few decades. All of the news and social media out there about the virus is scary, and rightfully so. But it's important to stay informed about the facts, and I'm here to help arm you with them through this pandemic. Below is a report that highlights Covid-19's Global, Canadian and Ontarian reach. There are plenty of visuals out there tasked with doing the same, but this is mine. It's a static report because I'm not rich enough to afford a license for the software I use (thanks work!). Data is accumulated daily from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, the Canadian government's outbreak update site and Ontario's Data Catalog. Take a look an...
