A Completely Random Blog

When you get so far behind on writing blogs, it seems the only good way to catch up is to write a really long blog, and randomly cover everything you should have in the last month... I will try my best.

Professionally and personally, I find myself still on the journey to find a fit. Vancouver has been great for the last 2 months, it was an upgrade from Montreal, but not a place I could see myself settling for life. And I'm back on the move. But I will not announce where and when here in this blog. Let me just say, from a career perspective it's the jackpot, personally, who knows. Maybe I'll like it, perhaps I won't. But my ego won't let me not take this journey.

As a sports fan, I find myself bewildered a little when the Ottawa Senators, Dallas Cowboys, and Pittsburgh Penguins don't fire coaches and general managers for vastly underachieving. I mean, the Penguins have the two best hockey players in the world, and are at risk of missing the playoffs. The Senators have the second worst record in the entire NHL, and Bryan Murray appears to be safe as GM. The Cowboys should be in the NFC Championship game this weekend, but thanks to bumbling buffoonisms by coach Wade Phillips, they are out. Remember when the idiot was coaching Buffalo and thought it was a good time to relegate Doug Flutie to backup just in time for the playoffs. Yeah, Rob Johnson had a very illustrious career. My god. And the Argo's in the CFL can't even find a coach. I don't get it.

I recently gave up on the notion of believing the best in people. Remember I wrote that very sappy blog about 2 months ago where I talked about being stubborn, but yet still believing in the absolute best in everyone's soul? Well, my best friend has let me down, and he really never did anything wrong. I wanted the best for him, and he wouldn't step up and take the necessary step for himself to grab the best. I even tried to serve it to him on a platter. And then someone else, I totally saw the best in, turned out to be someone who I'm not sure about. I think she lacks honesty within herself, and therefore, seems very dishonest with everybody else. I can't go into specifics, but two people who were far happier last year at this exact time, are spinning their wheels and completely unhappy today... And it's completely their own doing.

And I have a new opinion on parenting. If you can't be unselfish and put your children ahead of all else, don't have children. Plain and simple. Cut and dried. Being a single parent, whether it be mother or father, is the toughest and most important job in life. If you can't make choices that constantly benefit your child, you're being selfish, and need to give your head and your life a major shake.

My Christmas was wonderful. I ventured back to Toronto and spent it with my loving family. It was great to see them again. I'm blessed to have two old school Italians for parents. It's always entertaining and more importantly inspiring to see them at their best.

Don't know what else to tell you. My advice blog returns on Friday, can't wait.
