Classes are over, exams are finished and I’m happy to be done.  I’m now as mentioned, 50% finished with university and couldn’t be happier.  Another year and a half to go, then I’m OUTTA HERE!

Here’s just a few random photos for you all to sift through.  I hope you enjoy!  And if you don’t… well… too bad!

A few shots from my criminal sociology class with professor Honmin Cheng.  He’s a nice guy and all, but a little hard to understand.  One of the questions worth 5% of the class was “What is my name?”  Most people couldn’t even remember his first name, let alone last name.   Did I?  Only after a friend whispered “it’s Honming Cheng… right?”  Later on in the class, the chief of police came and did a guest lecture for everyone.  In the class, there are 64 people… throughout the lecture, 18 showed up.

After finishing my Sociology final, I took a quick boot upstairs and snapped a couple pictures

Chris, Colin and myself decided to take a short trip out to the farm to do a little bit of Season-End shooting at cans, bottles and a big steel oil-drum used to burn garbage. Chris recently picked up a new rifle and this was it’s second shot by Poz

A little more target practice at the farm

I also picked up a 3-pack of a soy beverage called ‘Viasoy’. It tastes like the inside of a well used train car after serving beans to the offensive line-up of a college football team. I’m sure it’s good for protein, but that’s about it.

So another Christmas has come and gone. It was a good time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I was surrounded by family and good friends. All went well even though there was a bit of stress but no worries. Here’s a bunch of photos and a couple videos (with some luck!) from the day! Merry Christmas everyone!

So the 2007 school year has finished, all classes have been passed and I am now officially 50% finished my university degree.  It’s a good feeling all around knowing that I’ve made it to the summit and now enjoy the journey down.  It almost feels like hitting 40, then knowing things can’t get much worse.  Other than deteriorating health… and angina… and liver spots.  Woo!

Since things are all finished, I decided that I’d kick things off with a big picture extravaganza along with a video of a bunch of the Japanese girls from the lates E.S.L. (English as Second Language) class at the University singing at the Christmas party!  If you have any questions, post them!  Heck… if you have any comments at all, POST THEM TOO!  I always love reading what you people think about the website!

Are you from Japan?

Are you from Canada

Are you from ‘Other Country’?  Then post and tell me where you are from, how you found this website and why you keep coming back!!!

On with the show!

A few shots I took late at night after Ckwan and I hung out, watched a flick and.. erm.. yea, that’s about it!

Classes this term were not all that entertaining, short of my Medial Sociology class which had a pretty damn good professor. Cynical, quirky, witty… yep, a good professor to have while learning about how the media skews reality.

I took a drive downtown to pick up a few Christmas gifts for people… and pulled my camera out of the glove compartment in the car, took some pictures and that was that… later that day when I arrived home to check out the pictures, I thought “Damn!  It sure was foggy!”  No… I’m just a bit slow… it was just the lense.

Opening night for ‘National Treasure II’….  I don’t think they hit the top ten that week.

There was a large group of Japanese students studying at the University of Saskatchewan and as a going-away ‘present’, they decided to sing a big song for everyone at the Christmas Dinner! Good job girls!

A couple of nights ago, I received a phone call from Nozomi.  I received the sad news that Ai and Junya will be leaving Canada for good!  So to send them off as only Canadians can, we took over the better portion of a bar’s extra room to enjoy a final night together of drinking, joking and laughing!  Come back and visit us you two, anytime!

That’s enough for this update, I figure you all have earned yourself a break!

Take care everyone and Merry Christmas!

メリクリ！！！！！！！！！！！！

I’m sure I could create a new type of BBQ sauce for the Presidents Choice brand name called Memories of Summer.  Add in a dash of freshly cut grass, an itch or two from mosquito bites, a light scent of recently turned-up dirt and then add in something that makes you feel warm all over (whisky would work well).  There you have it, the Pozland certified ‘Memories Of Summer’ BBQ sauce, only sold in the months of December, January and February.

It sounds like a winner to me!

To go along with these memories, here’s a few shots from this past summer.  Damn I miss the warm weather.
