I want to go back to the way it used to be…
I’m always worried about my entries being engaging enough for my neighbours… it never used to be that way… I used to get excited writing about whatever I wanted to or felt at any given time. Part of the problem is (and no offence to you guys) I know people on VOX that read my blog so, some of the things that bother me, that weigh heavily on my mind never get shared because I don’t want to offend people or hurt, shock, or insult any of the people I actually know.
Sooo… (I know some people are going to roll their eyes at this) I’ve created another blog. An anonymous one. One I’m not sure I want anyone to know about yet. It almost feels like it should have it’s own neighbourhood. One that won’t judge me for what I write. That way, I can keep writing but keep things and thoughts separate.
The other blog will at times seem harsh, selfish and one-sided. People may not like it… but that’s okay… It’s not about them… It’s about me and my need for an outlet.
Hopefully, that way I’ll be able t get back to my former VOXing self.
I miss that guy.

Personal Parkour Progress (PPP) 2007-11-09 Indoor training…
Just a simple parkour training video… for personal reference mostly.
I’ve been having problems working up the courage to try/practice certain techniques outdoors. Unfortunately, if I’m not willing to try them outdoors, then I can’t even become comfortable with the basic mechanics associated with those techniques. So, I joined a local gymnastics club with the hopes that I may overcome these mental obstacles.
My parkour path is modest and still in its early stages…
More personal parkour progress (PPP) to come.

Not a hurricane, per se, just a post-tropical storm with hurricane-strength winds…
Hurricane Post-tropical storm Noel has come and gone but, thankfully, all is well here.
Our power went out briefly overnight but returned before we woke up. Other than that, we went completely unscathed. My younger brother had his fence blown over and a metal door-frame wrap around his car. Some other places had trees knocked down, walls blown over or roofs ripped off. At the storm’s worst over 200,000 people and businesses in Nova Scotia (20%+) were without power — 50,000 are still without as of a few hours ago.
It would appear that we were very lucky. On top of that, Little “L” and Baby “X” slept through the entire thing — lightening storm and all.

Batten down the hatches…
Hurricane Noel is on its way… starting emergency preparations… might be “away” for a number of days.
Take care y’all.

Will I shave my head again?
Sooo… a series if pictures were taken at both of my son’s birthday parties this past month and one of them caught me bending over (head towards the camera) helping Baby “X” open one of his gifts. And what exactly did this loving act of fathering reveal? That my hair is thinning.
That’s just… huh… wow… I mean…wow… um… just… yeah… super.
And now I find my self wondering… How long until I have a bona fide bald spot? How long do you grow/style your hair to conceal it? What will I do with my hair once it’s obvious? Will I go into some form of Trump-comb-over denial?
Ugh.
I had a feeling it was happening. And the flash from the camera reflecting slightly off my head through my thinning hair was the clincher.
I guess I should keep my eyes open for some funky hats in the near future… or perhaps I’ll just end up shaving my head again.
