I just Googled "the greatest moment of my life"

before i proceed to part 3 of 'George and the Magical Hot Tub', I'd like to share a little something i like to call: pure gold.

canada finally got 'streetview' on google maps and for those that don't know what 'streetview' is, it's similar to street cred but way better. this little internet device allows your to walk the streets (one big step down the middle of the road at a time) of your favorite cities and neighborhoods. it's quite helpful for a couple reasons:

1) showing your friends where your home is

2) showing your stubborn friends that there IS a dairy queen on broadway and trafalgar

3) fantasizing that you are godzilla who destroys cities with snail like speed but can only take out objects that are 3 feet from the street

so pretty much it's the greatest feature of google. theyre really doing it.

the reason it took so long for canada to get this feature is because when google gave them the choice of getting the streetview feature or drinking maple syrup for 3 years straight...well canada obviously chose the latter. google, when (not if) you read this, please promise me that next time you think of an incredible idea and need to offer it to a country, give them another option like "make your own milkshake" or "play in the ball pit at a local fastfood restaurant" JUST to see the look on their faces....and also see what they choose...

so iain and i were hanging out at the bus stop on 4th and trafalgar...looking so super cool when iain pointed and yelled: "LOOK! google car!"

as it passes us, making my family proud was the only thing on my mind. so my middle finger saluted the fruits of 21st century technology. granddad bennett, for one, would be shedding tears of joy as he witnessed his legacy live on. the year was 1969 and granddad bennett was in a middle finger tournament which was the most elite tourney of that time. competitors from all over the globe came to fight over the rigorous course of both physical and psychological extremes. after the 72 hours of battling, my granddad came out the victor. receiving the trophy that trumps all trophies. gold plated....with a wooden middle finger at the top signifying who truly is the master. well, a few years ago for christmas, my granddad passed this on to his successor. at the time i didnt think i was worthy but my granddad saw the needed potential.

for years the trophy sat on my shelf as i passed by it knowing i didnt deserve it....until yesterday. iain ran up to be with his laptop in hand and a smile that would destroy even the meanest of bullies. he showed me something. something magnificent. yesterday was when i became my full ethos. behold:

DESTINY!!

we did it, granddad. we did it.

p.s. the trophy really does exist and my granddad did win it in 1969 and passed it along to me....that part i DIDNT make up.
