Here is a new video of Grant. There are two stories to tell here.
The first is how cute Grant is. Whenever we ask him to say yes he nods no. Today I thought I’d film him and he decided to switch it up. He was nodding no until the last question when he changed (he’s a smart boy )
The second is how amazing the quality of the iPhone 3gs video is. I’m absolutely blown away. This iPhone is going to replace my video camera. It’s easy to use and the quality is amazing. I never expected it to be this good. If you ask me the new iPhone 3gs is a must buy product!
The new Iphone 3gs came out Friday so naturally I had to go buy it. It’s been less than a year, since I picked up the original iphone, and I don’t know why but for some strange reason I thought it would be different or any easier this time around. HAH WRONG!!!!
The problems start and end with the fact that I’m using Windows Xp 64 bit. If you are using Xp 64 Bit you have two options you can either A. shoot yourself in the face for being a moron that uses it or B. buy a new computer. Ok ok there is a 3rd option which is waste an entire day figuring this shit out (I seriously think option A and B are better). So last year it took me a few hours to get itunes installed and working. I’ve since updated itunes and it’s worked flawlessly for the past year. I thought plugging the new iphone in would work like a charm lol I wish. My itunes all of a sudden wouldn’t recognize the iphone (the iphone would only show up as a camera). Anyhow it took me 5 fffff-in hours to get the damn thing working. I finally did and I’m so pissed and frustrated that I’ve decided to write this to hopefully save some other poor soul in the future (LOL truth is I’m writing this so next time this happens to me I can come here and remind myself of what to do).

On Friday (June 15, 2007) we closed on our first home. We were supposed to close on June 14th which is also our wedding anniversary. Here are some pics of the new home (they are the real estate pics).
After 4 years I’ve finally been able to be on the winning team of the Nassau Street Hockey League Championship. Here is an exert from the USA Today article describing the finals…
“It looks as if another season has come to end. For those who missed the game last night it was quite a finish. The Hurricanes were down by 1 goal with 20 seconds remaining and managed to tie it up. Just when it looked as though the game was headed for overtime Paul Martin Seguin sent Sean Shapcott in on his patented ‘hanging at the blue line’ breakaway and Sean beat Kevin Taylor to score the game winning goal only 8 seconds later! It was definitely a great finish and a night Sean and his fellow Nassau Kings will not soon forget.”
Last night I was surfing thru Dylan Murray’s (ex member of the Nassau Street Hockey League) facebook and found this great pic on it. I had to steal it up put it up here (thanks Dylan).
At first I was just going to post it and say ha ha real funny. Then I thought screw it let me vent a little about the traffic here. While this picture is funny it definitely is a clear example of why traffic absolutely sucks here.
Btw while I’m on the topic of traffic in the Bahamas. Why do so many idiots on this island unplug their break lights? Do they think that makes them cool? I’d love to own a Pickup truck with a snow plow on the front. I’d drive around the island destroying every car with break lights that don’t work.
Ok that’s the end of my vent. The funny thing is I hardly ever drive anywhere (besides to hockey). This post would have been much longer had Beth made it lol. Enjoy the pic!
This week I got an email from my buddy Ben that he was going to be able to hook me up with 2 tickets to the Chelsea – Manchester United Game. It goes without saying that Ben kicks ass. Not only did he hook us up with tickets but killer tickets at that. It was the perfect way for Beth to enjoy her first game.
The whole buzz around a soccer game in England is amazing. Before the game we went to a PUB for a drink. As we walked down the street you could hear the pubs buzzing with people chanting and cheering inside. These fans really get fired up.
It wasn’t as heated a game as it could have been (Manchester had clinched the title the weekend before). It was still a great experience. The Manchester fans were in full force celebrating being newly crowned champions. The entire game they were on their feet chanting, screaming and clapping like maniacs. It was great. We were obviously with the Chelsea fans so we booed them for their efforts. One of the funniest lines of the night was when I turned to the kids next to me and asked them what they thought of the Manchester fans and their cheering. His reply: “I don’t think much of them really.” LoL Even when they are mean the British are so polite I can’t say all the fans were as polite as the kids. In fact the ref blew a call at one point and the whole stadium started chanting “The Ref’s a F*&@ing Asshole!” lol Why can’t we have chants like that at Hockey games? I can just picture a Maple Leafs chant going something like this “The Leafs F*&@ing Suck!”
After the game we went out for drinks with Ben and his buddies. His buddy Rob actually supplies London with all their high end cars (What a story lol). Here are some pics from the night. (Some videos to follow once I find an efficient way to encode them)
Every time Beth and I visit London I’m shocked at how much money there is there. I guess if you think about it it makes sense because everything is so damn expensive there.
On our first day in London the weather was absolutely perfect. Sunny and about 80 (Yes I’m referring to London, England). We decided to go for a walk. The areas we covered on our walk were Knightsbridge, Hyde Park, Mayfair, Soho. After the first 20 minutes or so I couldn’t believe how many amazing cars there were on the street. We’d walk down a street and out of 30 cars at least 15 would be Mercedes and they were the shittiest cars on the block.
Anyhow, seeing that we are moving back to Toronto and starting to research the type of car we are going to get I whipped out my cell phone and took pics of all the nice cars we went by. Among the cars we saw were 2 Mercedes Mclarens (only got one on camera), Rolls Royces, Bentleys, Maybach and my buddy actually saw a Bugatti Veyron drive by. Anyhow here are the pics I took with my cell phone. Obviously I didn’t get all the cars we saw but this just gives you an idea of how many exotic cars there are in London.
