The Life and Times of Brian Garside
Ryan, the home improvement expert came over this weekend and helped me build what can only be described as “The behemoth”. It’s nearly 10 feet tall. It’s the finest in engineered maples and MDF, and it will either change our lives for the better, or be the end of us (at this point [...]
Last year I made some resolutions (like I do every year) in my post “Time for some resolutions”. Last year there were 7 including one ridiculously easy one, and a couple of really nebulous ones.
#1: Move
#2: Eliminate unecessary things
#3: Only pursue projects that make money
#4: Learn to say no
#5: Get a doctor. Go to [...]
Having finished up Halo 3 a while ago, I had gone back to plugging through Marvel Ultimate Alliance and toying around in Crackdown. I picked up BioShock, and then sold a few games to grab Guitar Hero III, but when it was sold out (pretty much everywhere), I bought The Orange Box instead.
Bioshock is [...]
I kind of long for those days of being a kid and sitting around waiting for the days to pass, boredom a constant enemy, and time dragging so slowly. As I get older I find that the super-power I most wish for isn't teleportation anymore, it's the ability to hold time in place. [...]
After taking a year off due to an alleged scandal I returned to the world of competitive coits again this year attempting to upset last year's champion Fabio and defeat my bitter rival Jeffro. I succeded in one of the two tasks, but failed utterly in the second.
After securing a bye in the initial [...]
Last night we went over to Ryan and Kari's for dinner. Kaylin got to play with her friends Paige and Cordy, and much fun was had by all. Char left around 8, I left around 8:30, and by the time I got home at 9, Kaylin was bathed and enjoying storytime but still [...]
Sometimes a good long weekend with nothing in particular to do is just what the doctor ordered. That's exactly what this Labour Day Weekend turned out to be as we relaxed, hung out, and became heroes in our own right.
This last few weeks have been really hectic at work, I have a daily list [...]
Four things about me that you may or may not have known in no particular order. (This started out as an email thing from Char, and I turned it into a blog thing just for fun.)
Four jobs I have had in my life:
1. Web Guru for TSN.ca
2. Stock Picker for Kimpex/Action (A motorcycle parts place)
3. [...]
This weekend the Garside family had loads of fun. There was some shopping, loads of playing, an anniversary, and some hijinks at the beach. All of the ingredients for a perfect summer weekend of sun, sand, and happy times.
Saturday Kaylin and I hopped in the car and headed out to give Char some [...]
The Garsides took a small vacation this week, travelling to Niagra Falls to visit Marineland and check out the majesty of one of the 7 hidden wonders of the world. Of course travelling with a little person presents a whole series of challenges that we've never dealt with before, and have made us reconsider [...]
