Heroes: After thoughts of the first episode, Genesis

This show impressed me so much, I had to bLog about it in addition to writing a review about it! My God people, you HAVE TO watch this show. If you haven't heard about it yet, its a show about a group of ordinary people around the world who begin to discover that they aren't so ordinary after all. Slowly they discover that they are each blessed with certain abilities. Certain abilities that will enable them to somehow save the world from some cataclysmic disaster that is yet to happen.

Sounds like you're standard mutants-who-gotta-save-the-world type show right? WRONG! Its much deeper than that. And how so? Well... its a bit hard to describe in writing, and thats exactly why you MUST watch it. I've gotta say this though... I was absolutely blown away at the intricacy of the story so far. I'm loving this one. 5 stars!

Lucky

Today, I went about my mundane tasks at work feeling bored and grumpy. As usual the customers on the phones were pissing me off snarling "WHERES MY CAB?! WHERES MY CAB?!" Then they start swearing at you, and at first it doesn't affect you... but after 8 hours straight of being bitched at, it gets to you. The bitterness seeps into you and consumes you until finally your spirit breaks and you feel like absolute crap. You look around and you think to yourself how your life sucks.

Well after work, I came home to an apartment full of people. Ryze had come over to celebrate various events such as all of Team MJ's birthdays, Graces 6 year anniversary of being in canada, Vals birthday, and the birth of my daughter, Jai.

Dax sat in the the corner and strummed the guitar as Cris and Nomer were singing along. Grace was holding Jai as she talked to everyone else. Everyone was just hanging out and having a good time sharing laughs and enjoying each others company. It was nice to come home to such a positive atmosphere. I was rejuvenated.

As I looked around and saw everyone, I realized just how lucky I am to have everything I need, and want...to be in such a great family, to have an awesome wife like marlyn, and to be surrounded by so many great friends like Ryze, and the choir. I definitely feel blessed to have the life I have where virtually every day is filled with laughter and music.

As I write this I'm sitting here chuckling to myself, feeling like I won the lottery or something.. even my past has been rectified... everything is as it should be... man.... life doesn't suck after all. In fact, it kind of... well....rocks. =)

From Across the Ocean

Today the Team MJ Fam woke up early and spent the morning at the Forks. As usual, our youngest member slept through the whole thing. But nonetheless, we had a good time. For the past few months, due to Marlyns pregnancy, outings were difficult as she wasn't very mobile. It was just nice to finally get out again. Nothing particulary exciting happened, although, people kept on stopping us in our tracks with "Oh shes so adorable" and "Isn't she the cutest little thing" etc etc.

hmmm what else happened today?
I spoke to an old friend today. A few years ago, she moved to Bangkok to teach english, and I haven't heard from her in quite a long time. Miss ya Jen!! Come home soon!
ermm.. yeah thats it I guess. Till next time!
