Club Monaco is where I get most of my clothes for work. Most of the clothes is fitted as well and if you are a younger guy, it is a better option then Mark's Wearhouse or Moore's. It is expensive, but if you are a little tight, there is a section in the back that has discounted prices on out of season clothes. Nothing is really out of season there though other then coats, because they have a lot of quality dress shirts, vests, etc. When they say out of season, it really means it just came out a couple months ago, then they have a new line coming out. The discounted prices are usually very good too, you can save about 50% on shirts, pants, etc. You'd be surprised, sometimes it is even cheaper to alternatives like the GAP, Banana Republic, etc. If you are ever in Toronto, H&M is like the greatest place ever.

I was watching a football game earlier today, and the team wasn't paying attention to the clock. So they were running out of time before the game was over. The announcer on tv was like, "they aren't watching the time, they aren't a clock watcher, this is horrendous" I swear, my first instinct, was wait no.... they have it backwards. A Non-Clock-Watcher is a good thing. Then I realized, they weren't talking about escorts, but about football. *face palm*

I'll be there as well running with some friends. Hoping for 28 minutes! Good luck to all those.

A Random Act of Kindness

I voted! I hope she wins! -
Agreed. The concept is a good idea, but in reality it is a joke. I got my smart serve a couple years ago when I was in university, and finished the test in about 20 minutes. It isn't rock science to pass the rest. Also too, when a lot of the pubs/restaurants that I worked at just asked if I had my smart serve, and never asked for the certification # or any of that. Some of them didn't even ask. I do agree though that something needs to be done about it. You think managers/bartenders/door men etc. would just have some common sense, but unfortunately a majority of the time they don't, they are just thinking about making money.

Thanks everyone for the kind comments. I had a pretty shitty day at work today and reading all these comments just reminded me how great of a community it is here. You guys are all pretty awesome, just incase you didn't know. You're all like freshly baked cookies, you guys cheer me up and make me feel all warm & fuzzy inside. -

The Deficient Single Person
Daniel17 replied to Daniel17's topic in General Discussion Area - all of Canada
A little off topic from this post, but the plus side of being single is originally I didn't have plans for the long weekend. But then Thursday night, a bunch of us just left to the cottage for the long weekend to do a little golf, fishing, four-wheeling, and drinking. Sometimes the best things aren't planned and just kinda happen. -

I was craving a blueberry cheesecake ice cream sundae earlier in the day. I'm eating it now downtown and it is heaven! I swear I sometimes think I'm preggars that I get all these random cravings. Posted via Mobile Device -
This post is just about my thoughts on a subject, it's just my opinion, I'm not saying it is right, I'm not saying it is wrong, it just my views. First a little bit about myself, I'm in my mid-twenties. I've been in short relationships, long relationships (longest 3 years), but for pretty much this past year, I've been single. Dated a few girls, but nothing really that I would consider a serious "relationship". Something I have noticed though is especially in August aka "Wedding Season" is that a lot of what used to be my core friends are all getting married or are in pretty serious relationships. I've noticed that myself and my other "single" friends have slowly been indirectly pushed out of our social circles. Now, it's not that our "couple friends" are assholes or anything like that, they are great awesome people, it's just that "couples" hang out with "couples". While single people are slowly pushed to the curb. Mind you, this is just my opinion, it may not be the case all the time. So what is a single person to do? They are suppose to get back into a relationship. Society programs us to find someone else whether it be the bar, dating websites, the grocery store, or whatever else. And too, even if you find someone, you will always have that dreaded shadow behind you of past relationships. The public seems to think that just because a past relationship ENDS it equals FAILURE. How is that even fair? How is that even correct? Singleness is treated like a disease, like it needs to be fixed. It's treated like a state that one surely needs to change as quickly as possible, and a change we should all strive for. If you are single, friends view you as miserable, something is wrong you, and that they need to make sure you are going to make it. Western society drives the thought into children at a young age thru the media & even sometimes in real life, that a person should always be striving for romance or sexual desire. Being single does not represent success and happiness. The stigma of singleness needs to be removed. The devaluation of it needs to come to a halt. For example, what if in Ottawa, happiness didn't equal getting married, moving away from downtown, and moving into a house in Kanata or Orleans, then starting a family. Another example would be what if little girls weren't driven by society to organize their life around a heterosexual relationship as the focal point, then put other things like friends, a career, living arrangements etc. around that relationship wherever it may fit. What really is wrong with living with roommates? What really is wrong with living members of the opposite sex without dating? What really is wrong with living alone? This not only allows us to experience different social living structures but also allows us to escape the linear line that Western culture tries to cultivate upon us. Life doesn't need to be centered around sex or a relationship. Happiness can be found in numerous other bits & bytes in your life. Just because single people don't centralize their life around sex or a relationship, does not mean they are deficient. There's nothing deficient about being single, and pursuing the kind of life you want. If we as a society just expand our idea on what lives are acceptable, whether you are a middle aged male, divorced, single young lady with career aspirations, gay, lesbian, poly, or even straight married people living in Kanata/Orleans, basically ALL kinds of people, I just think we would be a lot better served.

Whenever I go to toronto, I fly porter. It's hands down one of the best in my opinion. You can get flights as cheap as $49 sometimes. They also have a porter lounge at the Ottawa airport with free drinks, free computers (macs as well!), free wifi, and on your flight you get a free meal and booze. Also too it doesn't drop you at Pearson, it drops you at Billy bishop, which is downtown, about 7 minutes from union station. Porter rocks! And a lot quicker then the train too Posted via Mobile Device

Just something simple. Earlier this evening, I just went on a walk along the canal with an old friend to catch up and drink starbucks. Fall is my favourite season to do little things like that. Posted via Mobile Device
