What a weekend!

Well, here I am again. it's been a while, but thought if I'm going to be a writer, I might as well try and practice. 

It's Monday, and the start of the week. Normally i don't like Mondays, especially after a great weekend, but sometimes Mondays can be refreshing. It's a new start to the week. Time to clean the slate clean, brush off the lint from the shirt. 

The weekend was awesome. Friday night, Nana was kind enough to buy everyone tickets to go see Joseph and the Technicolor dream coat, being performed at the Jacob's Playhouse. The show was fantastic, way better than the one at Mervish in Toronto, and much cheaper. Before the show we had dinner at a family restaurants called "Jack's" The service was great, the food was hot and man oh man, the portions were huuuugggee!!! I had the chicken fettuccine with rose sauce, and it was darn good. I could only eat half and eat the rest the next day. Nana had the fish and Chips, Kate had a burger, Crater had salmon and rice, and Sara had the Philly steak sandwich. I had a chat with the server and she mentioned that she has been with the restaurant for 13 out of 14 years. I will certainly go back.

Saturday we had the Jocelyn's over to celebrate birthdays. We exchange gifts and its usually the same thing.A big bottle of Crown Royal. This year I wanted to do something different so I went to Camp 31 restaurant and purchased each of them 2 bottles of bbq and a pork rub. The theme of the day was southern BBQ, and everyone contributed. Marlene brought beans, Laurie brought salad, Nana brought potato salad, Chris made appetisers (smoked jalapeno poppers with bacon and bacon wrapped shrimp with basil (sooooo good) and Rob brought the main event..a brisket that he cooked for 12 hours. It was incredible, and I had hardly any space on my plate for more.

Sunday, unfortunately, was a work day. I had spent the entire day working on 1 scene. It was more challenging, and when working in flash 8, it took more time. Remember how I said that Sundays should be a rest day...well, not if you work freelance and want to invoice for Monday.

Anyways, time to start the week.

Internet Addiction

Hello, my name is Darryl and I have an addiction...it's the internet! The internet has destroyed my mind and productivity for many years and I have had enough! My work productivity has decreased, I have become lazy!  So many times during the day, my brain would switch off and I would find myself moving my mouse to the Google Chrome icon and pop onto multiple sites..Facebook, twitter, Instagram, and I would spend 30-45 minutes away from work being hypnotised by fail videos and pictures of friends on locations. Numerous times during a work day, I would be working, being productive, listening to a podcast and then someone on the podcast would say a name or movie or song and i would immediately minimise my work and then go search up what they are talking about. It's been happening all the time!!! I'm always reaching for my phone when something pops into my head. This takes another 20-30 minutes out of my time away from work.  So to be honest, the amount of hours I actually spen...

First Blog Post 2023

 Hi there, and welcome to my first blog post of 2023! To be honest, I haven't written blog for years, and now that i'm getting closer to the age of 48, I thought it would be best to start writing, and what better way to write than a blog.  This blog is more for me to practice my writing skills, considering the last time I had writing skills was back in high school when I would make stories. They say to be a great writer you need to start from the beginning, and so...here I am..at the beginning. I'm not planning on being well known and not planning on getting rich and popular, this is just for me, and my thoughts. So if you happen to come across this blog, welcome! If you would like to join me in this journey of writing, thank you! If not, that's perfectly ok.  Here goes nothing... Cheers!
