Hi Everyone,

It’s been qutie awhile since we’ve last chatted. I hope your holiday season went well, as usual mine was quite hectic (but festive and memorable at the same time).

My parents and grandparents went in together and gave me my NANO CUBE…it’s awesome. It’s taken awhile, but I now have the correct specific gravity (salinity of water) and my live sand substrate in the tank. I’m ordering the live tonga rock from BC (the supplier is currently out of stock) and I am hoping to have it live in the tank by mid month.

Now…as for 2006. I’ve decided that 2006 is going to be dedicated to the re-invention of myself. You might be asking yourself…why would you need to re-invent yourself. Well the answer to that question is that I had become complacent, and frankly quite bored with my life. Now this isn’t some new years resolution (although it may seem like one). I’ve been slowly re-inventing myself and the things I do, over the past month and a bit.

I have always lived by my mantra of ‘continuous improvement’.

I started this blog over a year ago, as a means of self expression. The intent of this blog was for no one elses benefit but my own. I always found writing to be an effective tool for self expression, and it made and continues to make logical sense to use this medium.

I have significant milestone coming up in 3 months, it’s my induction into the ‘Quarter Century Club’. Scary…yes real scary. What’s even more scary is that five years ago I would never have imagined my life to be as it is today(both good and bad).

I think I’m starting to ramble…oh well. Just a reminder to all of you out there, January 23, 2006 is election day in Canada. It appears that the Conservative camp have released what it seems to be the first negative campaign ad. Interestingly enough, they aired the ad based on speculation that the Liberals would be launching a negative ad campaign. AU contraire, the somewhat slow and obviously ill-strategized campaign seems to have made the last half of the election campaign. GOod ones Harper clan…now that Liberals can state that it was in fact the conservatives who launched the negative campaign…and that in fact they were merely “REACTING”.

Hahahahahaha…this is going to be quite the interesting election night lead up
