Catching Up...

First of all, I did not forget about my wonderful readers, and I know, it's been a while... but here's the quick 3-minute recap of my last few months!

After my almost viral (177 views!!!!) Tim Hortons blog which you should read (or reread) because it's just artistry level blogging, I let the fame and fortune go to my head... okay well actually, I got a job.

If you follow me on any other platforms, I fell off the grid pretty much as soon as I began working, but I have a lot to fill you in on!

After a long and stressful job hunt, I received a phone call from a consulting company. Fast forward a month and I'm having a great time working as an energy management consultant. Not to brag or anything, but my office view is pretty sweet, check it out!


I also had a birthday during this mysterious, radio-silent time. I had said I'd write a blog then.... we'll just move past the fact that it's been almost 4 weeks since.

My biggest news and I'm excited to share it, is that I decided to participate in the Enbridge Ride to Conquer Cancer this year! I've wanted to do some type of big bike ride for a while now, and I finally committed to this summer. It's a 200km-ish ride from Toronto to Niagara Falls over 2 days this summer. It's a massive event and proceeds go to the Princess Margrett Cancer Research Centre. This is a top 5 cancer research center in the world, and this event has helped raise over 100 million dollars in the last decade. I'm pumped to ride, but the training will be a journey. Here's a video if interested.

My last long ride was 2 years ago, and about 90 km. So there's a long way to go, but I'm going to bring you all along through the training, fundraising, and hopefully the ride itself! Of course, I have no expectations, but if you'd like to donate, save up and I'll have a site all set up late next week.

Follow along with me on my other social media platforms as well, youtube, twitter, facebook and of course on the blog. I'll be in full fundraising mode
soon!

So, thanks for reading, and I look forward to you all riding along with me on this journey. Get it? Riding?

Cheers

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...

Tim Hortons: An In-depth Review

As I sit here pretending to be a scriptwriter at a budget Starbucks  Tim Hortons, feeling slightly out of place, I write this review. This will be an attempt at a new series on my blog, since I've been dry with ideas since returning to Canada. Tim Hortons is a Canadian classic coffee shop turned fast food restaurant while still retaining its coffeeshop status. Apparently, it used to be excellent until they changed coffee beans, but that was before my coffee drinking days so I and most people around my age probably feel the same (we don't feel anything about the changed beans). It also used to be cheap, but since high-status coffee shops like the aforementioned Starbucks and Second Cup somehow get away with charging 10$ for a drink, the friendly neighborhood Canadian brand jacks prices to compete. At least it still has its loyal customers. Fun fact, the first Tim's restaurant was in my hometown of Hamilton! It's also the usual go-to spot for a quick bathroom brea...

"Creative yet Clickbaity Title on Solar Energy!"

In the last post, I talked about what the Sun was. A giant nuclear fusion reactor. And since it is so good at being the Sun, it not only provides heat to our Earth, but also light. Lots of light. Hopefully, this isn't news to you (yikes!). Light is an interesting thing we very much take for granted. Look around, there is light in the room you're in, light coming from the screen you're reading this on (unless you're psycho and still print things..) and light from outside. Even at night! The light from the moon, isn't really light from the moon, but a reflection of light from the Sun. Did I just blow your mind? Probably not.. I guess I'm failing as a writer. There is a lot of light available, and all that light also carries energy, rather, it is energy. In reality, the light from your phone screen doesn't really have the potential to power anything, neither does a light bulb. But think about how many light bulbs it would take to equal the amount of light t...
