Fundraising Update #1

Hiya friends, So if you follow me in some of the other corners of the internet, you'll have noticed I finally began my fundraising for The Ride to Conquer Cancer ! A big big thank you to everyone who has donated so far, and to a good friend of mine for helping me make my initial fundraising video . I'm over $400 after only a couple days, which is pretty amazing. You all rock! For anyone who would like to donate, click on over to this link and enter any amount you'd like in the "Freewheeler" option. Keep your receipts for your taxes! I'll be posting some video and blogs about my training journey, which is off to a slow start, but it's a start! I've also adopted a " STOP EATING SO MUCH " strategy, we'll see how long that lasts. Other than that, life's been pretty routine since starting my career. Work a lot, eat a little, sleep a medium amount, and gym when I can. I'm planning on doing some fundraising events once the ...

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!!!!)

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 ...

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...
