FAQ
It seems like every year this gets better and better, why?
It gets better because it has to. That is the normal progression, or at least the expected progression of everything. You’d think shareholders were probably pretty happy when Intel posted an annual gross profit of $26.866B in 2022 right? Wrong. That 39% decline from 2021 probably had people feeling some type of way. Yes, this is just a very zoomed in example without considering market trends, improved operational efficiencies, burn rate and any other finance buzzword I choose to throw at you. Fuck it, EBITDA. Nonetheless, it gets better because I need it to. I won’t stand for sub-standard and one day I can truly see this taking off.
I have an old email address that I sent an etransfer to previously, can I still send it there?
Yes, you can. All email addresses that you have saved still work for etransfers, I just switched over to a more memorable one to help Drew out. He had a tough time previously. I also accept Bitcoin, Ethereum, toonies thrown at my front door, and Canadian Tire gift cards.

Top 5 favourite videos of all time?
You might have explained this last year but I'm not familiar with domain names, how did you get one that ends in .basketball?
I purchased it with one of my 8 credit cards. This specific ending, or TLD, is available because in 2012, the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers opened more up. Due to popularity and with everything being online, good .com’s and .org’s were running out. So they started allowing new endings like .gay .science .sucks. Pretty cool hey, I also think so.
Can I invite my friends?
Yes dude, just make sure they fill the brackets out and transfer me before Madness begins. Otherwise they’re banned.

Any New Year's resolutions?
Yep, only made 3 this year.
1. Walk 13,000 steps/day (Current daily average: 10,245)
2. Workout 3 days/week (Current weekly average: 3)
3. Read 20 books (Books completed: 1)
Kinda on pace, kinda not. Better than years past for sure. In 2022 one of my resolutions was to watch 1 movie a day. Surprisingly this lasted 3 months.
Did you get comped in Mexico for getting stuck in that elevator?
No. After being stuck in the the elevator for a harrowing 30 minutes while security and maintenance sweated their dicks off trying to get us out. I went and talked to the manager at the front desk. The guy pretended to not understand any English and sent me over to the concierge. Here she also pretended to not understand and made me type everything into Google translate before making be fill out a complaint form and bringing it back over to the front desk. It was then after this that I said “Well is there anything you can do for us. Like can we get something for being stuck in an elevator on your resort?” in to which the front desk manager scurried behind his desk and grabbed me a perfectly sealed, crisp, bottle of water. This was pointless, I was wasting valuable Piña Colada time, so I just walked away. I think next time I am in this situation, I just need to start screaming bloody murder and crying as if the last 10 minutes of Marley and Me was on a loop in my head. In conclusion, I would not recommend Krystal Grand Nuevo Vallarta, but if you have no other choice, don’t use the east elevator in building 3.
