Me, Myself, & Bob

By Symon ⋅ October 31, 2008 ⋅ 3 comments

It’s been too long since my last post. I’m easing myself back into it by writing a good old fashioned book review. Paisley Jade bought me this book for Father’s Day, and I’m really glad she did.

Chick flicks have done me good

By Symon ⋅ October 16, 2008 ⋅ 4 comments

I would consider myself a bloke’s bloke. Yes, I absolutely love paintball, superhero movies, good old fashioned wrestling matches, and of course explosions (Pride and Prejudice would be so much better with a few of those ;-). However.

Sounds like the title of a bad horror movie doesn’t it. I have huge respect for Bob McCoskrie and his ministry Family First. Something rather disturbing happened to him recently. Apparently, 4 women dressed in black, left a threatening note on his door during the night along with 1000 plastic knives stabbed into his front [...]

Watched Napoleon Dynamite again the other night. It just keeps gettin better! I thought, seeing as I haven’t posted for a few days, I would grace you with my favourite top ten ND quotes. Here they are in rough chronological order… 1. Ever take it off any sweet jumps? (Napoleon to Pedro) 2. Napoleon, don’t [...]
