A New Beginning

Hello to the very small, but special group that actual read my previous blog: http://www.rsk1976.blogspot.com

I had a vague impression that I hadn't written a new entry in a long time, but then I looked at my last post-- a long time would be an understatement. April 8th! Wow.

What has ensued in the last six months could fill up an encyclopedia, specifically volume XYZ, the volume that was always the thinnest. The sad thing is that there are many of you reading this who have never even seen an encyclopedia. Think Wikipedia, but in a hard cover format and with real credible sources. Alas my six-month encyclopedia of events would bore most of you to death so lets give a recap in bullet format:

1) Graduated with my Masters.
2) Got married to the most absolutely beautiful lady in the world.
3) Got diagnosed with narcolepsy, a sleeping disorder which finally absolves me of all the guilt that I used to feel for being so "lazy". Now I know that my chronic habit of falling asleep anywhere was not just a symptom of tiredness. I now refer to myself as the overachieving narcoleptic. What's your excuse for not achieving more in your life?
4) Saw the greatest masterpiece of comic book moviedom in the form of "The Dark Knight".

OK, so now that the recap is out of the way, I want to introduce you to this new blog format. I wanted a name that was easier to remember so that explains the change. Why ice cream and spinach you may ask? Because these two food items represent the spectrum of my likes and dislikes. I love ice cream. And I dislike spinach. Well actually, I love spinach gomae, specifically from Toshi's on 16th, but that place can do no wrong in my eyes, so the fact of the matter is I still dislike spinach. I could ramble on and on about why I like ice cream and why I dislike spinach, which made me have realize that I am a very particular fellow and I enjoy discussing the little things in life, while fully aware of the actual lack of real importance in the overall scheme of things. And that last sentence, also highlights my poor writing style... trying to say too much in one sentence.

So if you are looking for a place to read about things to enlighten you this is not the place.
If you are looking for a place to read well-written articles this is not the place.
If you are looking for a place to read about sometimes amusing articles about television, movies, and sports then this might be the place.
All I know is I enjoy hearing myself rant about the strangest items and I am compelled to voice my opinions on such trivial matters like ice cream. So much so, that I found myself actually writing a review for Mondo Gelato on Trip Advisor after seeing it getting some poor reviews. That's me rsk76. Sad eh? I never post things on other websites, but I just couldn't help myself.

I vow to post something weekly and I do not want my readership to plunge. I learned my lesson with my previous blog. I will work hard to win back all eight of you readers.

Do me a favour and forward this to someone you don't like. It might just ruin their day.

  1. You had me at "ice cream and spinach." I always love to read your writing. But the narcolepsy...wow...you have overachieved. Maybe once, just once, you can give us a poem. Good to see you blogging again. Congrats on marriage and the masters. Hockey again this week. Sweet.
