i did think of posting an april fool’s blog today, but then i thought that my real life is plenty foolish as it is and is typically as ridiculous and unreasonable as any hoax that i might attempt to perpetrate. that having been said, here are some of the scenarios that i considered faux-blogging:

• g decides on seventh adult career move to become a(n)
  • interior design intern
  • concrete/cement expert
  • florist
  • hollywood actor
• g moves from toronto to japan/germany/ireland/south africa/siberia
• g goes back to school in 2007-08 to become an engineer/psychologist/nanotechnolgist
• g clones a woman-version of himself in effort to find perfect partner
• g spills random assortment of chemicals on self during freak lightning storm and gains mediocre collection of superpowers
• g takes adventure to rough toronto neighbourhood and is enlisted to perform in a “snuff” video
• g trades ambitions of triathlon for “marathon movie watching” contest
• g stops eating any food that did not have or did not have the potential to have a face
• g goes for four whole days without using a word with more than three syllables (the “no four for four” challenge)
• g rekindles romantic association with [insert favourite of g’s former love interests (1984-2007) here]
• g takes a sudden interest in professional team sports
• g finally converts to catholicism
• g is accepted into CSIS
• g becomes a luddite
• g buys a (big) dog (while cats are still alive)
• g proposes marriage to his blog citing the reason that she (his blog) is the only one who understands him
• g buys a third cat

anyway, those are about the best of the best. hoping you all had an enjoyable and restful april fools!
