This is it.
Ok Tumblr, you heard me… this is it.
I am packing in my tumblog after two and a half solid years. I would have to say that it is one of those it’s not you it’s me situations. You have been good to me Tumblr, but the honest to god truth is that I simply don’t get the same enjoyment out of tumblogging that I used to.
I also feel that blogging in the fashion that I currently...
Goodbye Blogosphere.
I’m done here.

“You feel like the prettiest girl at the dance. So much choice but who to choose?”
– James Brown..
with regards to the current dilemma I am facing this Saturday:
Go see Girl Talk (epic pop/dance-fest dj/bringer of glory), go see Attack in Black (folk-rock/punk/indie masterminds from Welland, Ontario. One of my favourite bands ever) or to go see Owen (Mike Kinsella: acoustic guitar...

vigeant:
only for the photoshopping of glasses onto babies in the top right corner…
Fact: Babies look smarter in glasses.
This fact is a myth. Which is also a myth… thus, once again, passing back into the realm of fact. I think I killed that one a long time a ago.
I reverse-hate this website.

The Standard: Oct/10/2009
Consider this a new column from brown.dudevice.com. A column on observing the diverse differences in culture and demographics. i.e. An opportunity for me to rant about “stuff”.
I would like to bring your attention to the “Old Man Leather Jacket” (see above). This is a coat that is typically worn by males between the age of 40 and 60 and includes both lower and upper middle class social segments...

Brocade:
Answers are enabled… A large blockade raised with the intention of keeping “Bro’s” contained within a specific area?
An arcade that is directly marketed towards Bro’s?
A company that HP is currently considering buying?
Myth.
Asparagus makes your pee stink.
This myth I have just told you is also a myth.
Therefore it is fact.
I hope that this post has served you well.. as some sort of public service announcement.

Thank you for instilling me with the confidence that I will need to carry on. My restless nights of tossing and turning in bed will be no more.
Another Successful Homecoming.
That’s right folks… another great St.FX homecoming. It was a great weekend of awesome parties, drinks on patio’s, football games, and amazingly friendly Antigonishers..
Great weekend!
Subway's Chate Graphic Designer.
I am not a big fast food eater, but ate Subway this weekend. No this is not a story about me eating Subway, as I am certain that you aren’t interested in that at all.
Although, what I did find shocking was the appalling quality of Subway’s in-store signage. More specifically, the images on their menu with very poorly added graphic enhancements. These pictures of sandwhich’s...

Paul Doppelgangersgaard-Brown
It’s actually not a doppelganger at all. It’s just a black football player from St. FX that I always get mistaken for. This happens most frequently when I meet a friend of a friend who’s initial reaction is something like this:
**Shaking Hands**
New Acquaintance: “Hi, Gregory Sampson, nice to meet you…”
Me: “Likewise.. Paul Brown..”

Muammar Gaddafi
With regards to The Libyan Leader; Muammar Gaddafi. Bill Maher put it very simply last night on his HBO show: Real Time with Bill Maher
“…No you don’t look like a handsome elder statesman. You look like a joke.”
I couldn’t agree more!
For example, look at this picture. Now I understand the medals of honor… but what is that picture doing there…...
Fixed Gear Bikes: Stupid.
This is only true if 2 Conditions are met:
You live in Halifax, &
You only bought one because they are trendy.
I walk by NASCAD Campus everyday on my way to work and see trendy art kids who don’t even know how to ride a normal bicycle struggle hurendously on a fixed gear bicycle. This is a bike that has no freewheel, one speed, and the only way to stop is to backpedal. Furthermore,...

Hockey Pools: Pointless?
I have recently joined two (yes, 2) hockey pools for the 2009-2010 NHL Hockey season. Will being involved in this 2 pools increase the amount I follow the game? Will they increase the amount that I enjoy watching hockey? Do I simply watch less hockey only because the Leafs are hopeless and they will never win a Stanley Cup?
Look, I am a realist. I never played the damn sport past the age of 13. I...
Blog Hiatus :(

Yes, almost a week and a half later. I’ll spare you the explanation.
