I’m sure all of our valued regular readers (the enlightened few, as we call you folks) have noticed a sharp drop off in the regularity of postings here at Too Real. I’m just here to clear a few things up about what’s going on around here, and what’s going to happen in the (near) future.

Ever find yourself being bullied by your so-called friends? Maybe not in person, but on the internet? They do it on instant messengers and in your e-mail inbox. This is happening to millions of Canadians as we speak. And it is very concerning.

It is my favorite season. Some would say summer, hey there are even winter lovers out there, but spring wins it hands down for me. I look forward to it all winter. Those first few days of above 0 temperatures, the first signs that winter is coming to an end, nothing beats that feeling for me. I get into a good mood and as the days get warmer I get happier.

Kurt Vonnegut has finally become unstuck in time. He passed away Apr. 11, and now I can truly say that all my heroes are dead. For those of you unaware of who this literary genius was, he was one of the greatest writers of the century.

Joost (pronounced ‘juiced’) has been the talk of the internet for months now, and is really starting to ramp up the publicity as of late. I was invited to beta test Juiced two or three weeks ago and have spent a little bit of time playing around with it. These are my impressions:

For a lot of people a post-secondary education is something they consider vitally important to success later in life. Studies have consistently proven that that earning a college or university degree or a skilled trade will exponentially increase the amount of money you will earn. Chances are also likely that you will have a more fulfilling job and will have more career opportunities no matter what you want to do.

I work out from time to time. OK, I obsessively work out. If I am out and about and there are stairs to take, I will. I try to eat healthy, but good ole Rotten Ronnie still makes his presence known. I read all I can and chart out the "perfect" diet. Two days later I’m at the counter asking "Can I get a double quarter pounder with cheese please?"

As long as I’ve been a student (coming up on twenty years now—two fucking decades, shiiit…) I’ve been blessed with holidays based around religious dates such as Easter and Christmas.

I would like to state for the record that for every 2500 riced out cars on this list, there is a true enthusiast with something special. Unfortunately they are hard to spot because of the non- projector HID conversions that blind you, on most of the ricer cars on the road. Have fun out there, just be careful, you never know when Uncle Ben will make an appearance, so breathe steady, calm yourself and relax. Take solstice in the fact that eyesore will soon be wrapped around a light pole in some parking lot because the McDonald's trays were extra slippery during his mad intense FWD drifting session, yo.

I talk to a lot of people each day. Many are what you would refer to as "wiggers." I know not a very nice term, but you know the type. Born and raised in a small city or town. Have seen a hand gun or shot one. Have no idea what a gang really is, yet will tell you that they will get their crew, and smoke you if you get in an altercation with one.
