I'm just a regular borderline not-too-goofy looking guy who digs the Muppets, loves horror movies (especially zombies), and is a big time hockey fan.

Now Playing - Ghosts on the Boardwalk by the Bouncing Souls

Well, there are some new pics in my image section, I hope you like 'em. Going to Montreal was quite fun, as pretty much the whole RvBTO crew went up there (minus Audrey). Thankfully, my body decided to wait until after Ele and I got back before becoming violently ill with a stomach thing. During the trip, stomach issues felled Lukie, Ele, and BlawnDee for periods of time, so I guess it was only a matter of time before another one of us got sick.

I'm mostly better now, though, thanks for asking.


In my last journal, I asked for some questions, and while I didn't get many, I thought I might as well answer what I got.

Jengaship asked; With your stand-up comedy days behind you, have you ever considered going into comedy writing as a career path? This has come up every now and then, and in fact, my dad actually offered to pay for a Second City writing course for a birthday present. I'm not sure how good a writer I would actually be if I had to write sketches of a tv show for a living, if only because I tend to jump around in terms of subject matter.

I will always be writing, though, be it comedy, drama, or just whatever idea gets into my weird head. I do have the need to be creative and create worlds and characters, so if I ever do become a writer, you never know if it will be a comedy piece, or something more serious that gets me noticed.

OboeCrazy inquires; If you had to be splattered with paint, what color would you want to be splattered with? I think green would be a good colour on me. It would make my eyes sparkle.

Ragingterror wants to know; What is BigNiceJohn's drink of choice? So many ways to answer this one... so I will go with all of them. My favourite juice is apple. My favourite tea is green. My favourite pop is A & W root beer. My favourite beer is Rickard's Red. My favourite mixed drink is Rye and Ginger. In my advanced age, I do find myself gravitating more towards rye and ginger instead of beer when I drink. My preferred rye is Canadian Club.

Elnea asks; Who questions their friends so much? I mean, what sort of friend grills their friends night and day? A curious one, I suppose. I realize, of course, that I'm not interesting enough to have tonnes of people asking me questions left and right, so I do like to give people a chance to pick up some BNJ facts every now and then.

Yeah, I heard it could be cheaper.
Is it pretty difficult to get into?

It's not like York is my only option, I'm looking a bunch of others that are colleges and not universities. York was just the only one in Canada, and it would be rather cool to go to school there.

No I fully know you did not write that, but it is an impressive link to.

You know what.. your right. There is no rule against it and it is outrageous because there should be, and there should have been for a long time now. ... but yes, true, if there is no rule, then by not suspending him it is the correct decision. You are not only Big... and Nice... but very smart.

Actually, it was that conversation that made me realize that my people in Dragon Age talking to each other non-stop.

As for the inventory, it negated the idea of getting what the kids call 'phat lootz'.

To be a bit more clear with my argument, Mass Effect is still a great game, but to me, it's an 8, or 8.5 instead of the 9's and 10's that the game has been getting.

LOL, well I agree the teammates don't talk to each other nearly as much as they do in Dragon Age, but I see that as a reflection of the amount of time you spend running from place to place. There is a TON of that in DA, but not so much in ME. So there's more opportunities to chat. DA had large areas you had to run through with nothing but the chatter of your teammates to keep you entertained (like an elevator, or the huge bridge on Orzamar)...don't get me wrong, I love both DA and ME, and I think both did an excellent job with conversations. But DA was more oriented to relationships with each individual character (the individual love/hate meter you got) unlike ME where the only real difference was the loyalty mission for each character.

As for the loot...well you're right. However when you DO find a weapon or armor it's ALWAYS exciting, because it's rare. Unlike before where you couldn't walk five feet without picking up something and most of hte time it stunk.

I was 17, doing stand up, and treating my classes like boobs (a pair of C's and a pair of D's). There's a reason I'm a dropout.

I will be too busy tomorrow to take a second to do this, so now let me wish you Happy Birthday in true Groonz fashion.

This was originally what I was talking about at your party when I seemed too drunk to remember. I simply froze because about half way through asking you I realized that only half the people at the table were from the internet.
