The Blade Is Back

Posted by Blade On July - 1 - 2010

Forgive me father for I have sinned. It has been several months since my last blog post. What can I say man, it’s been a heavy past couple of months. There’s been lots going in general and in my life. I know some of you were wondering what happened to me. Some of you were asking me if I had gotten a girlfriend and run off and abandoned the SolidGame. Well I’m here to say no such thing has happened… yet hahaha.
The thing is about my blog is that I prefer not to talk about every single thing that happens on a daily or weekly basis. You can find that on other blogs. I’d much prefer to share with you things that might either entertain you, school you or both.

Office Romances: Dating Within the Work Place

Posted by Blade On November - 10 - 2009
What is your opinion on dating someone you work with and why?
I posed a question to some friends of mine via Titter and Facebook. We spend a large chunk of our lives working. Some people work 12 hour days and most weekends. It is almost inevitable that people would hook up with those they see every day, their colleagues. It’s not a surprise to anyone that the majority of the answers I received were a resounding NO DON’T DO IT!

Whimsical Encounters with A Girl Called Janice

cocktail and martini

I think it was a Friday night at my my HQ. It must have been my round cause I went over to the bar to get the boys a round of drinks. That is when I noticed Janice and her friend sitting in at the corner of the bar…yeah I know..cliche. They weren’t saying much to each other, they seemed to be watching the people.

So You Dont Want To Play The Game

Posted by Blade On November - 5 - 2009

VENT ALERT! Oh, you don’t want to “play that game”? Think the perfect guy should instantly see all you have to offer, and you shouldn’t have to work for it? . I’ve met a few guys who said they don’t want to play that game either. Women should flock to them because they are nice, and sweet. No points for guessing how that’s working out. It’s not about “nice”, it’s about how the world is!

If what you are doing is yielding you the results that you want in your dating life..then more power to you. If not, perhaps you need to change the way you think.
LIFE DOES NOT OWE YOU SHIT!

3 Days In A Suit

Posted by Blade On October - 30 - 2009

Yeap. Crazy weekend that.
I was busy with my Friday afternoon battery of phone calls. I get these calls every Friday evening after 7pm like clockwork. It’s usually my friends looking to find out where I’m at , where I’m going to be at, what’s going on at, who is going to be at, can they join me at….the list is endless. Needless to say it’s a rather busy time for me. Cleaning up, Suiting up, scenting up…

I was on one of these calls as I was on my way out the Boom Boom room (..That is the name my flatmate decided to christen our flat). Clearly distracted, I closed the door behind me and only realising that my keys were STILL INSIDE!

This was a problem because I don’t have a spare and my flatmate had gone off for the weekend with his girlfriend. DAMN!

Night 1 in my suit was great, but not out of the ordinary. Yeah, I did find a “couch” to crash in…she was more than happy to help me out.

The lesson here is simple. Make sure you bet yourself a comfortable suit, incase you are stuck in it for several days J.

Thanks to my friends and to my lady friend for allowing me to crash at their places. I would do the same for you of course.

How Not to Leave her A Voice Mail

Posted by Blade On August - 18 - 2009

The story is this: a girl was out with friends having drinks on King St (in Toronto ). This guy approaches her and won’t leave her alone -saying how cute she is. She finally gives in and hands the guy her business card to get rid of him.

The attached is an MP3 file of not one, but TWO voicemails this guy left. This goes down in the history books – especially the second voice mail.

After hearing them you can clearly see why she didn’t call him back – instead she called in to the Z103.5 morning show & had them play this on the air.

Ladies: He is out there… :)

Stories And Lessons From The Women in My Life

Posted by Blade On August - 17 - 2009

world-war-11-strong-women

August is Women’s month. I got thinking the other day about what I appreciate about the women in my life. I spend a lot of time on this blog talking about women , so this is a short summary of the various lessons and highlights about the women in my life over the years.
Sure God created man before woman.  But then you always make a rough draft before the final masterpiece.

Mom – You taught me an appreciation for a strong women and how to cook. Thank you. Just like you said…these points have served me well.

My sisters – You taught me the importance of fully owning the role of big brother. I’m no longer afraid of leading the women in my life and knowing when to sit back when it’s not about me.

Mari – You taught me how to kiss. Less tongue you said…take the mood into consideration..you said.

Rosanne – You are completely nuts and unpredictable. Despite your stormy disposition I learned how to remain strong and steadfast for you. A skill I use throughout other areas of my life. “Just Be Cool”

Charlize – Your commitment issues made me feel better about my own. I thought I was messed up until I met your ass.

Joey – How was I supposed to know that you wanted to be tied up? I’m not a mind reader.

Janine – I was wondering how long it would take you to realise that your wiles didn’t work on me. You are a beautiful girl..certainly… but you are going to need much more than a smile, wink and a mini skirt to wrap me around your little finger.

Shanna – I was impressed when you approached me to chat. That took balls…especially because I was standing there with a  group of my buddies after the rugby game. Glad you liked your reward.

Dida – I thought it was cute you got upset at me because my birthday party had more girls than guys present. I didn’t understand that.

Mich – You let me flirt with you for hours without telling me…you were dating someone…and that she was hot!

Margo -  I don’t think your daughter would have appreciated your attempts to seduce me…despite your boyfriend saying he wouldn’t mind watching.

Tash – Glad you came out. I should have know it when I caught you checking out the same girl I was on several occasions.

Marie – Your douchebag boyfriend and looser friends threatened me for hanging out with you….doesn’t he know we worked together? I can’t believe your now married to that low life. You deserve so much better.

Liz – You should be more discreet when blowing your boyfriend…when you KNOW I’m in the other room. At least close the gawd damn door!

Anne – You keep saying you cannot separate sex and feelings. In the same breath you mention how your fuck-buddy is selfish in bed.

Dine – You were one of the very few girls that I would have no problem calling my girl.

Lena – I warned you not to fall for me…I wasn’t the guy for you….yet you did. Now I’m the douche bag that broke your heart. I understand that I have to be the asshole in your eyes in order for you to get over me…and its ok.

Lolie – Flirting for weeks, only to tell me you had a boyfriend. A little unfair don’t you think ? It was fun..but I can’t do that anymore.

Agatha – ..knowing what I do and my blog…you still think you can use me to make my friend and wingman jealous? Thought you were smarter than that.

Sonia– You really shouldn’t feel self-conscious about your age..you got more life that most of these youngsters I know.

Maja– Asking me for advice on how to have a threesome with those twins that you liked…had to have been the most interesting conversation we have had…Ever.

Juliana – Sorry I had to end it….You got way too loud after 2 glasses of wine…I couldn’t handle it when the people around us had to listen in to your monologues about your preferences in the sack.

Phillipa –Your boyfriend is one of my oldest friends. I think it SUCKS that you have to make him have to choose between us. He now feels guilty hanging with me because you are worried that I’m going introduce him to someone new. You would have never met him if I didn’t introduce you to him that night. You need to trust him, even if you don’t trust me. Hes a good guy.

Robyn – …I don’t understand why you kept me from knowing you were seeing someone…despite having spoken about our love lives as friends. Just found that a little odd.

Nadia – You dismiss men for the most insignificant things then turn around and complain about the lack of men around.

Holly – Thanks for taking care of me when I clearly partied over my limit…I cant believe you gave me a bath! WTF

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her as if she were a perfectly normal human being.” – Oscar Wilde

Suit Up Success

Posted by Blade On August - 14 - 2009

I woke up early, ironed my shirt. Picked out my tie. Assembled the killer combo. Strolled to work with a swagger only a dude with a suit can swing. Walked into the office..paused gave the receptionist a nod and a wink.

<Receptionist> Nice suit…? *smiling*

<Blade>  Why thank you mizz…

…..

<Colleague> didn’t think you ACTUALLY suit up

<Blade> …bro…if you think you can’t …the you are probably right.

<Colleague> …that doesn’t even make sense

<Blade> ….if you were suited up it would.

And so began a legendary day.

How To Choose The Right Suit

Posted by Blade On August - 4 - 2009

I love suits. I don’t have very many but my collection is growing. I James Bond is currently my favourite suit guy second only to Barney Stinson who believes suiting up is a way of life. Following International Suit Up Day coming up on the 13th of August, I decided to do some research on the net about choosing a suit. Choosing a suit isn’t as straight forward as you might think. There are several things to take into consideration, body size/shape, fabric, suit style etc. Hope fully this post will give you a clearer idea on what to do when trying to get a suit.
