Friday Night...

Welcome to the Middle Nowhere Cafe, my name is Clayton, I'll be your waiter for the evening. Try the duck.

I have decided to get my logo on the top of the page now, how do you like it? I added the Maple Leaf just for effect. It's not actually part of my Production company logo, it's just for the Blog page. It'll do the trick for a while anyways. I'll probably try and make the page a little more white as I go along, but for now, this will do.

Chelsea 0 Liverpool 0; the week's Champions League result before heading back to Liverpool for the second leg next week. Clean sheet at home, good result. Liverpool will be tough at home for the Blues, but a 1-1 draw would go a long ways, if they can beat Petr Cech. Mwah ha ha ha ha! GO BLUES!!

Bolton tomorrow afternoon... tired team or so they say. Are they ALL unfit to be tired for 90 minutes on a Saturday afternoon?? Oh no, they had to board a bus for a few hours. The travel must kill their energy levels. If these guys are athletes, as they so tell us, fitness shouldn't be a problem.

Premiership title should be done by dinner time.

Question posed to me this afternoon for publishing:

"ideas eh? nope. actually, yes./ write about people get suckered into buying a gym membership"

Gotta love instant messaging-speak. It's almost like text-speak, but more legible. Saying that, there should be a post about text vs. IM speak. Not much difference, but it would kill some time.

Right, gym memberships (eh, Julie!)...

First of all, Jules, you keep going to the gym. So, you're not a sucker to the gym membership... just for a few too many beers (didn't think this would be the way I'd mention it, but here it is). Secondly, I am a sucker for paying for a membership and not going. Okay, it was a long time ago when I was in Kelowna and was probably 16 or 17, but I did pay for a membership, which probably wasn't for very long; being young and broke at the time.

Now, no, I haven't answered the question. This one deserves some thought. Why do people, like a much younger version me, for example, get suckered into buying a gym membership?

The sad thing is that the only answer I can come up with is vanity. How rubbish is that? I want a different question. I don't want to drum up the same old pap crap that other "media outlets" have dug out of some bargain basement.

"Yes, yes... the answer is clear. People see celebrities and then want to be like those celebrities." Suckers. Now, if they weren't so lazy (or busy, works both ways, I guess) or so unmotivated, then they wouldn't be suckers. It's such a nice feeling to think you're gonna go to the gym, when in fact, you won't even push the front door ever again.

Well, that's a bit better. Over and done with now.

It was a good day for the ol' counter at the bottom of the screen. In 41 minutes this afternoon, I had the same amount of hits that I did in the first 3 days of having the counter. The Blogging community has found me! Hooray! I love these counters now, they're fantastic. They can tell you just about anything you like. That 'Next Blog' button at the top right hand corner of the screen did wonders for me today.

Thanks Blogger!

The sad thing is... no one clicked on my ads on the left hand side of the screen. After four days, I have made a grand total of $0.55US. Yup, 55 American cents. Roughly 20p. Wow. If I was still living in Canada, that'd be a whole buck, but sadly, 20p. Rubbish. Income, not really the strong point of this Blog site.

It's a good thing I write here or else everyone would be coming for nothing! Well, there is a picture of a Canada Goose that people like to mention. Come see the Goose, I should advertise. People would come from miles away.

I found another excellent Blog site this afternoon in my surfing:
http://beirut.krugw.com/home.php

A group in Kingston, Ontario, Canada play a beer ping-pong game called Beirut. THAT I have to try. Lads, do remind me to print off the rules so we can have a go at this. It looks hilarious! Check it out for yourself. I'll probably have another look at the rules, which are on a different website altogether, but may return to the Kingston site for another laugh. Good photos of drunken good times.

Simpsons are on... might go watch for a bit. Be right back!

That's better. It was the one where Maude Flanders dies. That's a pretty funny one. 'Star wipe... and we're out."

Tomorrow, plans look a little sketchy. Naomi called me tonight and said that I should go up to Ipswich for a bit of the weekend. Don't know how far that'll go. She's not the best for keeping plans together, so I really didn' t make any. I just told her to call me if she fancies me going up there at all. The thoughts about Cambridge for this morning are already cancelled, if you see what I'm saying.

Nevertheless, I am going to get some pictures tomorrow. I'm dying for some new pictures. I haven't really gotten any good ones for quite a while now and that should change. I'll take the camera with me, wherever I'm going tomorrow.

Anyways... I know it's early, but I'm finished with this post.
