The leech...

Tonight I went to class for a short while to get the information needed for the term. We were all reminded to go to the bookstore and get the required text book for the course, if we hadn't already done so. After leaving the class I figured I would go to the bookstore to purchase the book for this class (Management Information Systems) and also for my Marketing class. Most books that I have bought in the past were around $60, which I thought was pretty outrageous. Today was definitely a shock...

Management Information Systems - $140.00
Marketing - $90.00


That’s right, I paid over $250 (after taxes) for two text books...is it just me or is that uncalled for? I realize these books contain the information required to realize my full potential and eventually make the 'big bucks'...but please. The scariest part about the whole thing is that I potentially have 3 more text books to buy for this term.

That’s my rant for the day…thanks for listening.

Tomorrows schedule:
Morning – Ping-pong & Squash
Afternoon – Se7en (the movie) & then dinner downtown (Spadina Gardens)

Look at those people living...

While out with Mat on a Tim Horton's run, Mat found himself watching people living through a giant window. Though I can't explain it, they were definitely 'living' in the truest sense of the word. After a short conversation about watching people live I realized that the car ahead of us had a license plate that read ABCS 576. I thought it was an interesting license plate but I certainly wouldn't spend the money for such a weak vanity plate. If the Ontario government wants to increase its revenues and lower taxes they should sell profanity plates. Deep down, everybody wants a license plate that says something like 'balls'. People would be willing to pay large sums of cash to sport profanity plates. What do you think?

Out of ideas...

I put all of my effort in to Mat's blog design and now I can't think of anything to do for mine. I have been sitting on the couch since 10am this morning doing nothing but watching Everydody Loves Raymond and editing the blog.

HELP ME!

Chillin' out maxin...

Lets get this off the ground.
