First of all, I'm going through my hits/stats/etc. yesterday and whatnot, and notice a hit from Wikipedia...

Now, I knew some wag had done an entry for moi based on my ghostly work which is still awaiting publishing but can be viewed here. (You will have to scroll down a bit...)
...but nope, that's not the hit...
The hit came from this entry... Apparently, I'm "citable" about the gothic scene... I'm not sure if I'm flattered or horrified... I know this much, there are MANY who would disagree with my credentials as a knowledgeable person on goth... but overall, feedback on the article I wrote has been very positive.
Secondly, if you're a constant reader (and if you are, I apologise most sincerely for being so boring so often,) you may remember that I mentioned on Saturday that I had high hopes of winning the big Lotto 649 jackpot on Saturday night... a cool $30million!
Well, despite the staggering odd in my favour (in that I am more likely to be hit on the head by falling debris from an overhead aircraft than win a lottery,) I lost...
...but so did everyone else...
So, it's $38million on Wednesday!
I'm going to play the same numbers... so c'mon folks, give the kooky dreamer a good thought and a prayer... We could do a lot of damage weird stuff good in the world with that kind of dough...
...and remember Threecollie, there's a milking machine and armoured vehicle in it for you... and Ultramantis Black, I *swear* and *promise* that I'm getting you and the boys a fitted-out Bristol Lodekka for your cross-country tour of mayhem! Heck, I'll even have the guys at the shop add the decorative bunting and old-timey loudspeaker for you!
...and a Karoke machine loaded with a good mix of old Pogues and Sinatra classics of course.
You know what else... We get the $38million and we're gonna get Mr. Fab a bus too... just 'cuz. Of course, we'd FORCE him to pick it up on THIS side of the border as he likes Canada ever so much... (We will be supplying the Timbits to pelt him with... and perhaps try to convince - with promises of currency - the man-monster-beast, Hydra, to be his travelling companion on the way back home!)
Lastly, my "April 1st 'Blog Your Blessings' Post" sailed like an Airbus 380 right over most folks heads...
A few thought it was clever... but you'd be shocked at the e-mails I got... Methinks a few people (I won't name names, of course,) don't read the entire entries here... ![]()
That's all for today kids... I'm tired... it's back-to-work day (and it'll be a busy one for me,) and coffee's just starting to hit the system...

Allow me to start with we do not own nor are we selling a bus. Just had to get that out...
This blog was started in April of 2006... during a very bad time for me and my family when money was very tight and life was very hard.
We maintained a happier outlook on life by fantasizing... talking about what we would do when times were better... and as Sue and myself are Anglophiles, England factored greatly into our "plans".
During these bad times, while looking at news items which, at the time included items about London removing their venerable old Routemasters, I came across one photo of an old green bus... and somehow, my whole family adopted it. It became very much "our bus". (Details about "our bus" are available by clicking here.)
Like most of you, I'd heard about the fellow who'd made a million dollars selling tiny ads online... and the fellow who did trades and turned a paper clip into a house... so I thought, since we couldn't make our bus actually into "our bus" (well beyond our means,) I'd try an "online" appeal... to make the focused item of our hopes into a tangible thing in our lives...
More specifically, in a burst of adult/juvenile optimism, I had hoped to show the youngest member of the family, who at the time was still very youthful and impressionable, that dreams really could become reality if you hope and, more importantly, try.
Well, I'm pretty sure you figured it out... we had limited succes in this venture... and the youngest has now reached an age where she is more traditionally "teenaged" cynical than much else about the world, which isn't a dreadful thing... but there's a "good news" portion to this... our personal situation with money is better, life has improved, and some people really liked my rambling here... so, I decided to keep things going... Yes, I will "give up" on asking for help on a bus... and have to give up on even trying as hard to get the bus through online means... and yes, be far more realistic... but I don't mind this "turn" of things as I actually enjoy venting, trying my hand at humour, and generally keeping on online presence outside my usual things.
Thanks to those who were/are "Busly Dream" enthusiasts... I suppose that our buses for now will be single-deck with the letters "TTC" emblazoned on them... but this blog will live as does our dream! (It's just a little quieter on that latter bit...)
