This is mankind’s only known defense against obesity.   Just complete this routine 300 times every morning.  You will not only improve your physical state, but also become mentally superior and better looking.

Finally, do not let the “Jetman workout” fall into the wrong hands, its power is unusual and murderous… you have been warned.

Earthquake in Ottawa! … a few photos.

I was sitting around minding my business when suddenly things started shaking, almost as if a large truck was driving by the building. The vibration became stronger, then suddenly the entire building started to jerk and my coffee spilled everywhere. I decided to get out of this old apartment and take a walk with my camera. I am definitely going to be sleeping in pyjamas with my bags packed tonight.

City hall Ottawa after the earthquake

City Hall appears to have been evacuated.

Corner of Nepean & Elgin,

Although it's hard to tell from this picture, the streets were packed with cars and the sidewalks overflowing with people.

Sparks Street

Ottawa actually felt like a real city for once, people were outside, the city felt bustling.

Pulled Pork Sparks Street

I took this opportunity to grab lunch from this pulled pork stand on Sparks Street...

Pulled Pork Sandwich

Yum a delicious pulled pork sandwich!

Parliament Hill Earthquake

I took my sandwich to Parliament Hill and found it had been evacuated as well.

Parliament Hill Earthquake West Block

There was a mixture of tourists, locals, and senators all trying to figure out what to do.

Parliament Hill Earthquake 3

I waited around on Parliament Hill- my canary in the coal mine was security letting the parliamentarians back to work. Cell/3G service was spotty, making it hard to get information. The perks sitting on Parliament Hill were: an abundance of security, and no chance of anything falling on me sitting in the grass.

The Poetry of Unabashed Capitalism

Destined to be born to protect the beloved world,
We won’t let anyone stand in the way of that dream.

Ready to flap our wings… we become one
and aim for the peace of the world!

As far as our lives can go, We keep the hope alive.
The future is inside you, tomorrow will Shine brighter…

Etch those overflowing feelings in you,
Spread your wings of courage.

You may easily mistake this beautiful poem as a work of Samuel Taylor Coleridge, or perhaps the rhymes of Sir Walter Scott… you would be mistaken, this poetic masterpiece is the work of Toei Company Ltd’s Tensou Sentai Goseiger. Please, don’t forget to purchase your Gosei Power Cast off Device Tensouder & Gosei Card Buckle Set.
