This made me lose some faith in humanity

On another note, I just spent a good couple of hours researching existentialism. Extremely interesting.

I've only really been introduced to the Neitzche & Kierkegaard view of existentialism, and I'd probably need to brush up on some notes to be able to talk intelligently about it, but I agree, it's super interesting and I really enjoy their way of thinking and the view of subjective human nature, like art, emotion, and passion, being just as, if not more important to human nature than math and science are.

Anybody in here play league of legends at all?
I've gotten into it, so if anybody feels like playing a bit, let me know!

Yep! Add me up KATSens65. PM me when you want to play tomorrow or whenever!

My favourite is the idea of Authenticity, as well as the idea of Transcending your Factitious properties through free will. But with freedom, comes the responsibility of bearing the consequences of your choices.

Really life applicable stuff, can't get enough of it

Jean-Paul Sartre is one of the main pillars of existentialism and I'd recommend some of his plays to anyone looking for some depressing uplifting stories

The French really have a way of making sad, depressing stories that have a very positive undertone

Wooden spoons are a huge emotional trigger for me.

Why steer away from Greenbank? What's north on Woodroffe? Just a single preferably. I'm a student so price range isn't huge.
Also the location in my info there is a little premature, haha. I'm currently still in the Maritimes.
But thanks for the food info and such!

North on Woodroffe once you cross the Queensway is a more mature neighborhood. You are close to Westboro which is a nice area to bike around, have a coffee and such. You are probably looking for a 1 bedroom in the range of 800-1000/mo depending on the quality of course.

I dropped my JVC camcorder, like, 2 inches, and now it doesn't work just as I was going to upload family videos. Had it shipped to Toronto and the tech guys say my hard drive is corrupted. Only higher end forensics can maybe retrieve my data. Anyone have any suggestions?

Six1Three Hockey

Has anyone checked out Six1Three hockey in the Stittsville area? For those that are not familiar with the name they are a facility that offers shooting and stick handling training.

I took my son several weeks ago and I was really impressed with the facility and the instructors...and my son loved it! If you have kids in hockey you may want to check it out.

Maybe ask Melnyk?

Mature as in less noisy neighbours and such? What apartment buildings would you recommend in the North area of Woodroffe?

There are some nice places around greenbank and baseline with fair prices. The buildings get quieter the further you go from the campus as well.

Check out forest ridge if you're looking for a decent sized 1 bedroom around 8-900ish. Its right next to the Cemetery. THere are some nice buildings just up greenbank from baseline as well, but they're a tad more expensive.

Brits have weird TV shows

Also the internet is hardly a place to find faith in humanity

It was more the person stealing less than 2 pounds

How in the world did you manage to watch that for more than 10 seconds?

Just got back from a trip to Cbus. Place is really nice. Gas is $2/gal cheaper, roads are unbelievably well-paved compared to the CNY area, and I got to see Nationwide arena which is right downtown around a city where you could pretty much find anything you'd ever want to do.

My god Sask how much longer will you be in college? I swear you've been "a student with no job" ever since I've been a member. And what is this business about not having a job? I worked 40+/week while I was in school. Do you have some debilitating condition?

I did a year in university dropped out, took a year off (couldn't find a job), started a 2 year program, and am now in my last semester.

Also, I worked every summer. I have been thinking of getting a job but I wanted to take off a couple weeks after the golf course closed and by that time places were only hiring seasonal (and I wanted a job that would last until April if I got one)

The "FourHoles" have been extensively renovated and now charge above market rents, it has been years since they have been converted from the drug-infested dumps to nice apartments. The people behind it , however, overestimated their returns a wee bit, though.

I heard that there have been LOTS of issues that stem from the decades of neglect that those buildings received, that new management just don't want (or maybe can't afford?) to put the money into fixing. Massive sewage/water issues was something I heard more than enough times to assume that it's not a one-off issue. Foundation & non-roof leaks, Bugs... there are some things that a renovation won't fix.

Those apartments were so bad for so long, that a facelift won't solve the issues with the guts of the building.

Bugs...
