Yeah, but it's a good thing...

BAM! I got hit once and did my initial five... but after some second thought (and the possible threat of a brushing of steel wool to my lower-bits,) I added another... but now CyberCelt given us the award AGAIN! This is a good thing as I can now do FOUR MORE blogs worthy of tagging with the award!
Why four?
Well, as I said, I tagged my initial five, then added a "bonus" blog... so here's four more!
Many of us have a fascination with the darker side of the human condition, and Dead Silence examines it very well. Good notes and information on serial killers and their crimes... Like us with the paranormal, a "driven blogger" who's work seems to be exhaustive.
Wil Wheaton's not-so-temporary blog
Let me explain something... something that Wil Wheaton is very much aware as being true about 90% of the Star Trek fanbase... I loathed Wesley Crusher. Hated him. Help with ideas for having him offed in the old FidoNet newsgroups... I had him die in a cross-transporter/replicator accident where he's beamed down to a planet and ended up as a giant pimento loaf. (Better than everyone else's favourite, gang raped by Klingon women.)
That said, I've gained a huge respect for the actor, Wil Wheaton... a geek extraordinaire and author...
Sure, I found him initially through a "link" he had on his site many moons ago to Torontoghosts, but that's not why he's here... his blog continues to amuse and entertain... and educate on occasion!
Andy's writings, musings, thoughts, creativity and other interesting jottings are a regular stop for me since Sue "discovered" his blog a while back. A good mixture of thought, poetry, writing, and other things well worth this particular award...
The Man/Monster/Beast - Hydra!
Weighing in at tens-of-thousands-of-pounds of pure muscle and one of the scariest pro-wrestler's you're ever going to bump into, Hyrda is rumoured to have been born in the deepest part of the Aegean Sea... which would account for one part of his MySpace (YUCH!) page that shows the great and supreme intellect and obvious artistic "edge" this fellow has (I'm thinking that he's like the ancient Greeks...) - his re-writing of Tolstoy's classic, War and Peace. The body of a monster and the heart of a true artisan... truly, a warrior poet and most deserving of this award.
The standard last note on the old blog... PLEASE SUPPORT THE DREAM!

The Current Time in Toronto is...

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 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 and whatnot as London was 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 and 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 young 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 failed... and the youngest has reached an age where she is more cynical than much else about the world which isn't a dreadful thing... but there's a "good news" portion to this... 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 to get the bus and be far more realistic... but I don't mind (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 now will be single-deck with the letters "TTC" emblazoned on them... but this blog will live!
