One step closer!
And we're one step closer to winning another Stanley Cup!
It was an unbelievable game. There were some AMAZING plays and both Goalies really showed there stuff!
In the end, the Wings came out Victorious!
GO WINGS GO!
Until the next series...
A day in the life of....Vinny Chase
The new season on Entourage begins on JULY 12! (Full Schedule Here)
I can't wait for the Ari one liners...
Last season was definitely not the best, but rumour has it that the new season will be going back to the roots. Which means more goofy behaviour from Drama and Turtle and less tight assness from "E".
What to look forward to in Season 6?
- Sloan is suppose to be back. (Wow!)
- There is more of Turtle and Jamie Lynn (Meadow Soprano). They are actually dating in real life. Lucky bastard!
- Drama will continue to be Drama.
- Ari will continue to gave Lloyd a "hard" time.
(Lloyd: Are you hiding something from me Ari?
Ari: Only my cock and asshole Lloyd...)
Let the fun begin!!
Untill next time...
Stolen from the Lourve...
If you have ever been to the Louvre Museum in Paris, you will very quickly find out that you are not allowed to take the picture of the Mona Lisa.
I've read about this across the net and some people say Flash photography is not allowed, where as others say, you are not allowed to take the picture period.
Well from first hand experience, we were not allowed to take a picture, period!
Maybe an expert photographer or an art genius can tell me why the Louvre doesn't allow visitors to take a picture of the most famous piece of art in the world....but we had to sneak a picture out....
Until next time...
A day in the life of....Kangaroos!
Ahh I had to post this....
I don't know if you can see it or not, but it's nature at work!!
And yes, that's me at the end of the video.
*Disclaimer: There is profanity at the end of the video.

You can run but cannot hide
So how many of you have been avoiding technology??
Well, if i guess correctly, you guys have all grown up with technology and it's pretty much implanted in your DNA. It comes naturally to most of us. Most of us dont' pick up the User Manual to figure out how to use the complex devices we carry now days.
Be honest, how many of you actually read your cell phone manuals???
In this day and age of technology I look back and see my dad. He tries REALLY hard to keep up with technology, but I see him often struggling with things. Unexpected messages on his computer screen often catch him off guard and scare him.
"Is this a virus?"
"What does this mean?"
"What is it doing now?"
These are all questions he's continously asking himself and if I put myself in his shoes, I can see why!
I just hope that when our kids are in there teens, they aren't saying the same thing about us!!
We already see the younger generations getting a head start. I never owned a cell phone till I was in university - and now you see highschool kids who have barely entered the teenage life and busy "sexting" each other.
What do you think? Are we just like technology and get obsolete as time goes, or do we have a fighting chance to keep up with generations to come?

Just one of them days
Yesterday started at a slow pace...Well not really, I was just processing a bit slowly.
After a night of fun and frolicking I set my alarm to wake me up at 9:30AM so I could make it back home in time to get ready for work. Of course, you can always count on Toronto traffic to help you out!
On a bright Sunday morning at 10am it took me more than an hour and a half to get back home when it usually just takes me an hour.
Why?!?! Oh why do people who have sworn an eternal pledge to never go over the speed limit insist on driving in the left lane??
Come on, I know I'm not the only one who has run into this, unless you are one of the culprits.
I have just reached the conclusion that common courtesy on the road has diminished. No one waves so say thank you anymore while driving, no one lets you pass if you are the faster moving vehicle, no one bothers to give an indicator anymore when changing lanes.
Why the lack of common courtesy?
Well for me it all comes out to careless and irresponsible drivers. People who don't check there rear view mirrors, people who insist below the speed limit on the left lane and don't let others pass, people who are busy chit chatting on there cellphones and last but not leaves, but definitely the worst, people who are TEXTING while driving! Yes I've seen it!!
People STOP!!!
Rules of the road according to ME:
1. Left lane is used for faster moving vehicles and for passing. - Keep you slow ass outta the left lane.
2. Cell phones are a distraction. - Buy a Blue Tooth headset, they are for $40 at Best Buy.
3. Be a polite driver. - Give others space when needed. Wave for people who are courteous to you.
4. Car pool lane is to be used during busy times when all other lanes are congested. - Don't get on the car pool lane and set cruise control at a 100!! There is a reason why the carpool lane is on the LEFT side of the road and not on the right side.
5. Read view mirrors should be checked every 4-5 seconds. - If someone is riding up your ass, it means you are going to slow for him/her and you should let him/her pass. You dad didn't pay for the road and other drivers have as much of a right to drive on it as you do.
6. Use your indicator when changing lanes. - Did you get a discount for buying a car without indicators? No. So use the indicators which are on your car. Doesn't take that much of an effort.
The rules are simple enough to follow. Makes your life and life of others a little more tolerable by driving sensibly. We spend a lot of time on the road. Please don't spend more of that time annoying me with your terrible driving habits.

The Steel City
So, it was Saturday night and it had been a while since I let loose so I called up my best friend and made plans to visit him in the Steel City a.k.a. Hamilton. There is just something peculiar about Hamilton. Life just drops a grade a two as soon as you leave the Greater Toronto Area and start entering Hamilton city limits.
Anyways, we decide to grab a bite to eat and then hit the local night life, Hess Village.
We go to the fanciest Italian Restaurant in town. They give us freshly unfrozen and then baked garlic bread. I know this 'cause I've bought the same bread from my grocer's frozen food section before. After the fine dining is done, we catch the last few minutes of the Denver vs LA basketball game - Wow, what a close finish.
We head over to Hess Village - or teeny bopper central like I've come to call it. Every year seems like girls are getting younger and the skirts are getting shorter........wait, legal drinking age is 19, so maybe I'm getting older, but the skirts are definitely getting shorter!!
After a night of standing around, having a drink or two and then bailing to go sleep at home I've come to the realization, that I'm just not cut out to be a clubber any more. Long gone is my life of staying out till the wee hours of the morning trying to meet cute girls. Alas, old age is catching up. But I'm ready for it! I've got the best years of my life yet to come with the one cute girl I met one night.

Edumacation
So it's Friday evening and being the young ripe age of 30 that I am, I should be getting ready to go party my brains out.......you'd think. Instead, I'm sitting at home preparing for a "mock" exam on Saturday morning at 9AM sharp.
Life takes you down weird paths. I graduated university 6 years ago and now I'm back in studying mode.
My advice to others....if you plan on studying further, try doing it right after university. It's tough RE-memorizing Liquidity Ratios and Profitability Ratios. That brings us to another topic of discussion.
Why make people memorize things? Am I ever going to be in a life or death situation where I'm going to be asked the Payout ratio? Sort of a gun to head, tell me what the Inventory Turnover ratio is or you are going to be a dead man, situation?
I can understand if you were required to know which ratio to use when, but not what the actual ratios are.
Obviously some old guys at the Accounting Institude haven't heard of Google search.
Well, I see my 15 minute break is now over and I have to go back to the lovely Ratios.

05-21-2009 - Beautiful Summer Day
So, I started this beautiful summer day at work.... Wasn't busy today so got to do what I love doing - reading about camera and talking about electronics.
It hit 30 degrees today - Celsius that is.
Just want to talk about a pet peeve....
Why do people think it's OKAY for them to park on "NO PARKING" spots and go about doing there things?
I was at Subway today and a lady parked right infront of the store, where it clearly stated "NO PARKING". Came into the store, ordered a sub, waited for it to be prepared and then went back out, hopped into her car and took off. I was hoping she'd get a ticket, but she wasn't that unlucky. It's people like that who really ruin traffic flows. Parking where they aren't suppose to and then leaving there cars unattended. It's ridiculous!

My Interests
What interests me....
Well there is a long list of things that tickle my fancy.
I'm a big tech freak. I like all the different gadgets and like to stay up to date. I frequent websites like Engadget and Crackberry to get my daily dose of gadgets.
Lately I've really been spending a lot of time reading about Blackberries. I'm a recent convert from a Windows Mobile (Palm Treo 700) to a Blackberry (BB Storm).
My views on the Storm.
Great first effort by Blackberry. I love my phone. I know, I know, people complain about it on the daily, but hey, this blog is about my opinion. And my opinion about the phone is a positive one. It's been very good to me.
I enjoy using it on a daily basis. It's reliable and has a good battery life. It has the programs I need to get my work done and some for fun too. I've been playing Air Traffic Control on it very frequently. It's very addictive! Be sure to check it out.
I'm really into cars. I like my sports cars. Of course I would like to buy myself a Aston Martin DBS but come on, unless this Blog suddenly takes off or I win the lottery, I just don't see myself behind the steering wheel of an Aston Martin anytime soon. (Come on guys, help a brotha out!)

An Introduction
This is my blog.
My name is Praneet. Just an everyday guy, with everyday thoughts, wants, need etc.
In this day and age of information, I thought I would let my opinions be known to people too. You know, everyone is entitled to my opinion. (Of course, they don't have to accept it)
I'm going to be an irregular poster, I do have a life outside of computers, but I plan on posting about things that we all think about and discuss in our daily lives but don't always have a "chat partner" to talk to about.
Plus, since i'm currently unemployed, I have a bit of time to "reflect" on my life and get other's insite into general matters of life.
I'm not an english major, so don't expect grammatically perfect posts. Like i said, simple guy with simple needs and simple blog.
So, this was a quick intro. More to come. Keep yourself tuned in :)
