#tbt Throwback Thursday – Shea and Jason at West Edmonton Mall in August 2000

In my never-ending quest to have a theme for each day of the week that eliminates the need to put actual thought into my daily blog posts, I’m going to try out the Throwback Thursday theme that’s so popular on Twitter and Facebook these days. And as an extra bonus, I don’t even have to […]

Music Monday – “Every four way stop that I approached/Hey, I was on the right/When I drove past your house again/Hey, like I always do/I think about the one thing in my life that didn’t come true”

Man, I love the Internet for so many reasons…it eliminates time, distance and provides access to stuff you’d never see otherwise. I can’t imagine what it’ll be like in 5-10 years when literally everything that’s ever been broadcast, everything we can see […]
