cleaning airplanes and the such

I worked a job for a few years cleaning a CEO's airplane. I was to make sure it was spotless when he was going to be using it for trips and stuff. It was a beautiful plane that included a bar, couches, and hardwood everywhere. It was a great job that i will never forget. The name of the plane was "The Challenger".
All that to say I am reading through a few Brian McLaren books right now and feeling challenged. i would like to join a group or something that discusses his books, or at least find some people that would like to discuss them. They are very interesting. so ya i just really wanted to write that stupid intro as a mock to imitate how weak certain introductions to topics speakers can use.
i love you all,
Nathan

Plea #2

Well after the overwhelming response to my first plea, I am asking for a second favour. I am looking for a place to live in Guelph or the surronding area. I am looking for someing low budget and and small, preferably clean although that is not necessary.
So my buddy Nathan Colquhoun has over the past few months done something that I think is a great idea on his website. He has almost everyday put out a list of links for people to check out. Now I am not going to do that everyday, but here are a few that you should take a look at.

If you are looking for someone to build you a website this is the company you should get. They are about 1/3 of the price that most companies would charge and are about 10 times better than most companies. They are called Storyboard Solutions .

If on the off chance that you are a large company reading this small time blog, and you are looking for some online advertising this is the company you should hire Teehan + Lax . Plus they have one of the prettiest project managers I have ever seen.

Okay this is one of the new sites that I frequent Mcsweeney's . I still don't know what to think of it but it sure is interesting. The person who created this literary magazine is also a an author who wrote the book, A Heartbreaking Work of a Staggering Genius. It is such a funny book worth a read.

ok well I am just watching the Blue Jays get beating by Oakland. It was nice to see the Yanks sweep the Bo Sox in their 5 game set. Godspeed.

plea!!!!

Okay, I am just throwing this out there....feel free to throw it right back. I need a job. Help me. I am looking for a full time position to start in September or earlier. It would feel good to see this website put to good use by somehow hooking me up with a job. Please leave a comment if you know of any leads. thanks.

p.s. This might go down in the blogging world as "the worst post of all time"
