Minute44 - Dan Schonhaar

I want to get all nostalgic on you… I want to talk about why Canada is good… Well, why I think it is. People are friendly, cities are clean, the air is clean, there’s no football hooligans, petrol is less than half the price it is here, you don’t get ripped off at every turn by the service industries, there are guns but no gun crime, the average weight is not “well over 200 pounds”, the weather is good (Hot in summer, cold in winter. Thats it), there are no chavs, the domestic beer is actually nice, smoking is already banned, recycling has been in place for well over a decade, the country isn’t ruled by political correctness, Toronto, I’m from there, Film certificates make sense and parental discretion is actually listened to, health-care system works and doesn’t kill more people than it helps, all the amenities of the United States without the drawbacks such as obesity, stupidity and a crazy-nutball government administration, alexisonfire, amazing landscapes with huge lakes and mountains.

The country is just awesome I really want to go back and live there eventually… hopefully sooner rather than later but hey, you never know what the future holds

Today was pretty bland if I’m honest with you. Got up - went to work - worked for 8 hours - came home - cooked and ate dinner - watched TV - sat at the PC. I did make a decision though. That is to buy a laptop. My PC, the PC on which I type now, has about had it and it’s not really up to the job of being my main computer any more. I’m looking at HP and Dell laptops at the moment because I know the products and I know that they’re fairly reliable while being quite cheap. Minimum spec I’m looking for is a dual core CPU of at least 1.6Ghz per core, 1GB of DDR2, and at least an 80GB HDD (Preferably a 160GB) and Windows XP if I can get it because Vista, in my humble opinion, sucks dong (at least it does now, we’ll see it after SP2). I just want to be able to take my computer with me… sit on the sofa while I work on a website. I don’t want to spend more than £600. I’m getting my bonus on tuesday and with that I could afford to put half down right away and either have finance on the other half or put it on my credit card, intrest free for 6 months. Either way, should be easy enough to afford. If not this month, next.
I’m gonna go and watch Akira now. I love that film, even though it confuses the hell out of me. Thats just it, it confuses me and dazzles me in equal measures. As the box says:- “No Akira, No matrix. It’s that important”
