join croft's army

Right now I'm feeling a little bit like this:

I seek peace. I need peace. Peace of mind, peaceful sleep, peaceful dreams, inner peace, peace and quiet....peace. I know I'm not alone.

Join Croft's army in the quest for peace. You might liken it to Monty Python's search for the Holy Grail (speaking of Holy Grail...The Davinci Code premiers on May 19!) but I'm always up for an adventure.

10 things

1. Definetly not going to the World Cup, I weep.

2. Sex is good.

3. Good sex is better.

4. I dropped a knife loaded with peanut butter on my legs.

5. I just called someone a dishbag instead of douchebag.

6. I miss my dog.

7. When I say 'onion rings' it translates as 'french fries' to the guys at Jim's Steak Out.

8. Aqua Mouse is close to taking her last shit.

9. I love my future roommies.

10. My hookah needs a name.

mrdt writes at 02:51:02 04/26/06 - Comment #7028: "cause its like your dog!"

"oh we get it!"

metalpeter writes at 06:26:12 04/25/06 - Comment #6990: thanks MRDT. There is this long running joke that goes back not sure how long (among some people I know). There is a line from "Road Trip" where they are talking about cheating and there are althese differant rules and the one kid goes something like "If your dog likes Peanut Butter off your balls then its not cheating because its your dog" .

scott writes at 12:49:59 04/25/06 - Comment #6985: 1. There will be another world cup.
2. True.
3. Very true.
4. Why were you stabbing peanut butter?
5. I think being called a 'dishbag' is more creative, and possibly more insulting.
6. Of course you do. If you didn't, it wouldn't be YOUR dog.
7. Next time make a fuss and enjoy it.
8. Cars suck. Can't help you there.
9. Hopefully they love you, too. check on that one again in 6 months.
10. Wilbur. (I name all non-sentient beings Wilbur. )

mrdt writes at 02:02:13 04/25/06 - Comment #6971: peter, that is the funniest thing I've ever heard you say.

metalpeter writes at 06:22:55 04/24/06 - Comment #6948: Calling some one a dishbag by mistake is funny.

I hope you din't let the Peanut butter go to waste.

How do you name a Hookah if only you used it it could be a male name but I saw you should use a like Devon (spelled same but pronouced two differant ways) for example it is corny but what about When Aqua Mouse dies incorporate its name into the Hokah somehow.

And the thing that ties a few of the subjects to gather is yes sex is good but great sex is even better and if that happens to be a dog licking penut butter off you as one watches the world cup on TV with an order of fries that they got at Jims STeak out then so be it.

jenks writes at 12:30:55 04/24/06 - Comment #6932: 1- seriously, i'm happy to help if I can.
2-3- yes please
4- then drop some chocolate like those old school reese's ads.
5- dishrag?
6- she misses you too.
7- both good drunk food.
8- summer is lovely bike weather
9- and neighbors?
10- hmm. will have to think and get back to you.

decoyisryan writes at 11:27:55 04/23/06 - Comment #6911: 1. it will be on tv. 2&3 mmmmm hmmmm. 4. did you still eat the peanut butter? 5. douchebag. 6. my dog is taking up too much room on my bed. 7. atleast you didnt' make a fuss. 8. the car is frightening. 9. ditto. 10. Gonzo

i said pumpkin!!!

I went out with some of my classmates tonight. We ended up at JP Bullfeathers and I got excited because I was really hungry and this place serves pumpkin ravioli! I took my first bite and thought to myself, 'this doesn't appear to be the correct texture'. Then I thought to myself, 'gee where is that sweet spice flavor to accompany my pumpkin'. Then it hit me. The repulsive taste of shrimp. SHRIMP!!! I spit it out into my napkin. I had to chase that nastiness with 2 Irish car bombs to get the taste off my tongue! Blah!

On the way out we noticed the estrip chalkings on the sidewalk. I'm glad it's out there, but I'm not gonna lie, my heart broke in two that I wasn't involved. Ask (e:Decoyisryan). I meeped for about 10 minutes. Ciao.

it's a sunshine day

I took my sister, Brad and Alex to Niagara Falls yesterday. At one point in my life I was a licensed tour guide, so I really do enjoy taking folks to see it. I never get tired of it. It was such a beautiful day full of sunshine and rainbows. It really lifted my spirits.

We played around at the Midway on Clifton Hill for a bit. Later that night we decided we hadn't had enough, so we went to Dave & Buster's. That place is fantastic, I never knew! Video games, bars, pool and bowling! We should make an (e:peep) outing one night! Ciao.

this sign cracked me up

our prizes from the midway

that's me, the spy master...

raked in thousands of tickets at d&b

got myself a nice set of shot glasses for the new apt

random photo

I was having coffee at SPOT with (e:Nejifer) and (e:Decoyisryan) tonight when (e:Joshua) made an appearance. It reminded me of when I ran into he and Jerry at Cecilia's last week.

broken dream

I most likely will not be able to continue with my plans to visit Germany for the big FIFA World Cup 2006. It kills me to even think about it. I've waited 4 long years for this and now, just as I can see it on the horizon, a thick fog rolls in. So close, yet so far away.

Maybe it's selfish of me to want to go but it has been a dream of mine to watch my boys play in the end all be all of soccer championships (my opinion, yours may vary). My family needs me. More specifically, my pregnant sister needs me and I should do everything I can to help her, including missing my trip. I can't do both. I simply don't have the funding, nor the time. That makes me a little bit sad. Ciao.

....and you'll never walk alone.....

the good, the bad, the indecision

I was offered a job that I really want. I'm waiting to hear if I am offered another job I want a little bit more. I'm supposed to give the first offer an answer on Monday. I most likely won't hear from the other until later in the week. I don't know what to do.

a tale of toronto

First and foremost, I want to wish a VERY Happy 30th Birthday to (e:imk2) today!!!!!

We headed up to Toronto last night to see the UB40 concert.

Long story short, we were 3 hours late. They wouldn't let us in, so we went round to the back stage door and grooved to the crystal clear sounds of the last 5 or 6 songs. Man I love that group.

We wandered around town for a bit.

We grabbed dinner at the local market. Here is Yvonne holding our noodle soup bowls and chopsticks amidst the colourful detergents. How much detergent does one need to stock in a little market anyway?

Today we hit H&M, Chinatown, the Shoe Museum and the Polish village.

These flip flops got my attention...I just don't know what to say

On second thought, I do.... "holy chow"!

Weird shoes...

Cool shoes....

I want these shoes! (made with a genuine Guinness beer can)

What exactly are these 'bubbles' in bubble tea? I ended up with a purple drink that tasted like coconut with green gelatinous balls as displayed by (e:imk2)

We enjoyed a tasty Polish dinner and made it back to the car just in time to stop an inspector from writing up a ticket...phew!

On the way home.

grab your lederhosen

I stuffed my face with a dozen Cadbury mini eggs last night at (e:jenks)'s. What does this tell you? Easter is upon us. Even if you don't believe in or celebrate the day, I'm sure you still indulge in all the tasty chocolate treats that emerge but once a year. That's not my point so I'll shut up now. Go here:
