Random Thoughts Funny, when we were kids, derailing toy trains used to be fun. When we learn that derailing trains usually involves killing of everyone aboard, it wasn’t so fun anymore.
The most amazing thing about the Canadian rail system, not only because it was constructed by the Chinese (even if that is the only positive thing about it for the 100 years), the are hardly any deaths or injuries resulting from the derailing of a Canadian train!
Take yesterday for exsample, the were five cars derailed on the Lakeshore line near Pickering GO station. There was a colosal traffic jam, but zero injuries, death weren’t even mentioned!
The workers are still at it this morning, when I passed by the station.
Let’s see if I can figure out how to attach the photos and videos from this mobile device…

Random Thoughts Today I actually have the leisure to sit down and enjoyed some tv. This has been a first since a I started a facebook project, but we can talk about that later. On tonight’s news a very particular news bit caught my eye, the reporter was describing a new form of “problems” for not for profit organizations. Appearently, people are ‘stealing’ from the clothing donation boxes, and the not for profit organizations are in the spot light stating how this type of theft is adding salt to their wounds, a wound created by lower monetary donations as a direct result of the subprime mortgage crisis.
Frankly, I don’t find myself seeing eye to eye with these ‘organizations’. To me, if your goal and charter states that you should help those who needs it, then does it really matter if the donation has been liquitated? If someone really needs the clothing in your donation box, can’t you not just let them have it? Must you really collect it, transport it, force those who needs it to line up and possibly pay for it? Or do you, the not for profit organizations, have a hidden agenda, where the donations are needed in their liquidated state instead?
(Everytime I see this type of news, a scene pops back into my mind, it was a donation rally for some flood years ago, a spokesperson publicly pleaded that if any one wants to donate, make it a money gram and nothing else. It had something to do with the fact that money is easier to carry or something

Random Thoughts Wow, it’s been so long since I last updated this thing! Well, if you have been here before, you’ll notice the page changed alot. I’ve updated the basic wordpress blog system to the latest 2.6 release. Due to this, all my old changes were wiped! Thank God I was able to preserve the database, if not, everything linked to this site will be a 404 error

Random Thoughts Lighting of the Olympic torch this time is rather amazing. Imagine this, an person holding the torch running on a moving pavement, at the top of the stadium.
Circulating the stadium, on by running the inner circle of the top, the road in which he treads have the scales of the dragon (the ancestor of the Chinese) which slowly morphs into photos of years of preparation for this event. Just that picture alone is worth more then a thousand words.

Random Thoughts Have you ever add information to forums to share? Were you ever paid for all the hard work you put into a Forum? If no, then I have a solution for you.
I’ve launched a new forum in the family of PleasantLifeStyle.com web pages, official address is currently forum.pleasantlifestyle.com. On this forum, I am leaving the signature section open to any posters. So you can either one, choose to advertise a banner-sized widget in this signature space, or links back to your pages.
This way, the more you post, the more exposure your signature will obtain. If you are joining any of the CPM based ad system, this will actually make you some money while if you are using a link back to your site, it might boost your rank on search engines.
Remember, exposure is everything to a website.
