I want to just keep spreading the joy and excitement of postcrossing. My stats are improving (16 sent 13 received). I'm chomping at the bit because when you reach 20 sent postcards you are able to have 6 travelling at a time instead of 5. Every 20 sent increases your ability to send.
But alas if i talk about postcrossing all day it will look like I have no life. But half no fear - I have cultivated a life that keeps me busy. Because of martial arts and curling most weeks I'm always on the go after work. Often I don't get home till after 10 or 11. It makes for a busy and long week.
And it must be the mid-week blahs for me today because I'm not feeling the martial arts tonight. But I will force myself to go because I know that I will feel better after. (A natuarl high from exercise)
I have always mad ideas and side projects but I never get around to half of what I want to accomplish. I always say to myself: oh I want to read this book, learn this skill, watch this movie or get into this craft/hobby but nothing seems to pan out.
But when I do get something stuck in my head I often go for broke (ie postcrossing). I guess I'm weird like that. And look at me now I'm just rambling away again.
Hmmmmmm.......................... What else can I talk about?
I will get back to you on that.

Find all the Plugs!
So I was lucky to have someone show me the website: http://www.listen.grooveshark.com/. It is the best internet radio website out there. I think it will give my fav site http://www.icebergradio.com/ a run for its money.
On grooveshark you can play full albums and find any music you want and make your own playlists. And to top it off they also have full comedy albums (Mitch Hedberg and Lewis Black. Kaboom!) I'm listening to Lily Allen right now.
And don't forget my fav political website http://www.infowars.com/. And last but not least http://www.postcrossing.com/. And a shout out to my fav celebrity websites : http://www.dlisted.com/ (hilarious!) and http://www.tmz.com/.
6 plugs is good enough for me.

Huh?
Quick random story it went like this:
Background
I was in a National Grocers with some other people shopping. We were laughing and talking to each other as we were browsing the store. The clerk comes over. (sidenote: he looks a little creepy)
Clerk: Hey no laughing.
Us: Huh?
Clerk: No laughing. I don't have my first aid training. No laughing to death. I won't be able to save you.
Us: Oh! ( realizing its a joke) I'm sure one of us is trained and can save the other person.
Clerk: I can't afford first aid. Its too expensive.
Us: Okay.
Clerk: I won't be able to afford first aid training now. This store is closing.
Us: Oh. Sorry.
(Ackward silence)
Clerk: I don't know what I'm going to do.
(Silence)
Customer: Where is the salt and pepper?
Clerk: Salt and Pecker (sic) is this way. Let me show you.
We continued on our shopping. Unfortunately we got stuck at his checkout. We pushed the cart of groceries over to him to scan the items. The Clerk made a "beep beep" motion as if it was a truck backing up. Random and weird.

Birthday Robano!
It is my birthday! So a big shout out to my self. I was busy all day at work. I mailed out a letter and a postcard to Australia after work. (the letter was a direct swap) I wrote the letter while having a decaf cafe americano.
Then I went for a family dinner. (Thanks family!) and then I went to martial arts. Currently I'm playing NBA Jam for a bit at a friends house. I can't wait to get home because I received a postcard from Japan. (perfect timing!)
The running joke is that I chose the name Rab for my sign in on NBA Jam because I need to increase my stats and blog about it. (Ha!)
So that was my day. I have some loyal followers now so I feel bad if I don't update my blog. (Shout out to a Bengals fan!) Ha!
I promise my weekend (Sat) will be hardcord blogging and journalling. I need to catch up on things and I wish to add some pictures to my blog and have a monthly update on my goals.
I have tons of funny stories that happened today but alas they have to be saved to paper only.
Sing a birthday song to me in your head if you must blog followers.

Just call me Electro!
Man oh man! I have some juicy stories that just happened but alas I can't let them rip on my blog. (see my previous post) But I guess I can tell some other random stories to keep this blog moving. I'm loving this blog and have tons of random rants that I could talk about all day.
I am a fan now of Alex Jones. (Website plug: infowars.com) I'm listening now and he just made a valid point on his talk show this morning:
"People in China are getting sick from fumes working 18 hours in factories producing I-Pads while American children plug into the matrix and spend time staring at an I-Pod or I-Pad screen instead of spending time with family or friends" -Alex Jones
This I agree with 100 percent. Read No Logo. It is an eye opener also.
Last Monday I was driving to the local sports arena to curl. I noticed a police car in the parking lot and thought it was strange for a police car to just be sitting there. Then I noticed a snow plow on the far side of the lot. I thought that was weird also. I parked anyways and got out. Literally two seconds later the parking lot is surrounded by fire department and an ambulance.
So what was going on? The snowplow had hit a pole and knocked down a power line. And where had I parked? Right in front of the downed line. Classic. You think the Police Officer would have had his flashing lights on to warn me or something.
I had gotten out like nothing was wrong.Right after I go out and headed into the arena the fire department blocked off the lot. At least I had a curling game to go and didn't need my car. By the end of the curling match (we won!) the parking lot was back to normal. Thank God nothing happened to me. How random is this!
So I am officially at 10 recieved and 10 sent. I have a few direct swaps I'm participating in (2) and I have the potential for 3 more direct swaps. I'm loving my postcard adventures. I have managed to convert 3 people to become postcrossers.

Choice City!
I wish I could just write all the random stories that happen to me in real life. It would be super interesting and probably get more viewers than my choice of video game I play on a Friday night. Thankfully I journal the old fashion way (pen and paper) so most of the juicy stories have been archived.
But alas with the world wide web I have to keep some things private and besides I can't give away all my material if they make a movie/show/web episode of my life. (Think Kramer with The J. Peterman reality show). Ha!
So why is my entry called choice city? Well it turns out that in Febuary I have some choices on where to travel for a weekend. The choices are:
Next topic:
I watched the first Mad Max movie. It has been long time since I seen any of the trilogy. The first one was too boring even for me. So I watched the second one last night. The second one is the movie I remember watching. And I don't recall watching the third one (Beyond the Thunderdome).

- Toronto (an excuse I will call the "Great Postcard Hunt")
- Barrie/Orillia
