Raccoon-a-paloza

Today I went to Stanley Park, which is located at the west end of downtown Vancouver. I finally saw some raccoons (one of them bit my knee to say hi) and took lots of pictures and some video. I also took pictures of lots of other animals and things around the park.

But first...

Our pet northern black widow spider in our bathroom, it's either a male or an immature female. And yes it is poisonous but it doesn't bother us, so don't bother it, plus it kills the slaters/woodlice that live in the bathroom.

Squirrels and random stuff that exist

We went to see G.I.Joe today. It was awesome, it was just like when I was a kid playing with my G.I.Joe's in the dirt in the backyard, except there was more explosions in the movie.

Canada does the Colonel at the Movies. It's not as good as back in NZ, the chips don't have the epic seasoning and the poutine scares me, it's a heart attack in a bucket. But I think it would taste good. Mmmmm.... potato, gravy and cheese, I can feel my arteries clogging just thinking about it.


On the walk back to the apartment I went for a wander around Central Park to find randomness.

Result: The subjects camouflage matches the dirt, but doesn't match the grass.
Recommendation: Use green paint to on subjects fur to aid in camouflage while on grass

And now for some random writings dredged from the abyss of The Writings of Daryl.

We live in a perceived reality, a reality based upon the accumulation of personal experiences. These include, but not limited to, how, when & where we are taught things, by teachers, parents, peers, media, as well as anything & everything that surrounds our being. We are the centre of our personal universes, we are our own God's. The persona's we portray amongst friends, family and the general public area an accumulation of experiences derived from our upbringing & social climate surrounding us. For example we adapt our behaviour to suit the surroundings we are in, in my case when I am in a new surrounding and/or the people I'm surrounded by make me uncomfortable either by the way they look or act (usually people who assume they are superior to me), I become quiet and let them "blow their own horn". I do this because I know what I know, they have had different experiences therefore they act differently in various situations, for example they may feel the need to talk alot in order to prove themselves and what they know. Their views on things are affected by personal experiences therefore they may or may not be naive about certain issues, they may or may not consider how the way they act or what they say affects those within their surroundings.

Spiders & Fireworks

A random spider that I found in the bathroom, I looked online to try to identify it and I don't think it's poisonous. But it would probably still give you a bite if you piss it off. Click on the picture to bring up the full size version, it's quite detailed.

The crowd in front of us at English Bay
