Sunday, August 6th, 2000: Has it been long enough between entries? What can I say, I've been a busy boy...well at least you have to take my word for it. If you know me, then maybe you know the real reason why I've neglected my book. For those of you who don't know, I guess I can fill you in on what's been happening since my last entry. It took 3 months to recover from my Maple Leafs losing out in the 2nd round of the playoffs.

But, iIn other news, during that 3 month layoff, I spent time doing things I've all but given up in the past. Things such as reading actual books and not just magazines, worked ridiculous hours (meaning getting up at 5am and 6am) for a few weeks, cried when Napster was about to shut down (that lasted all of 30 seconds), watched a few movies (if you know me, I'm so far behind in being up-to-date with the latest ones), pulled my hair out everytime I see Susan and Richard from Survivor (I swear that Susan is a guy!), almost drowned in the 40 feet of rain that has fallen since the start of "summer" here in Ontario, watched my bathroom shower tiling finally get repaired (it only took a year, but I must say it looks rather spiffy), and a few other things that have escaped my mind at this moment. Pretty busy huh?

This weekend was Caribana 2000 weekend here, meaning one big party for the whole city to enjoy, plus a parade. Caribana is a celebration of Caribbean culture, for those of you that don't know. The annual parade is the largest of it's kind outside of the one held in Trinidad. Of course I had to go check it out. It was fun, the weather was nice and the atmosphere was electric. The costumes were very nice, such as the one to the right, and naturally there were those (females to be exact) that came dressed in things you'd normally see behind closed bedroom doors.

After a good night's sleep, I feel refreshed...all I need is something to do! Grrr...ah well, I guess I could spend more time updating...or I could dress up like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and go for a walk (for those that don't know, they came out on stage recently wearing nothing but a single sock strategically placed)...won't that go over well with my friends!!
