Hello Folks, Fans and Freaks!

This week’s story is about a little place where you can fill up your bellies. It’s found at Britannia beach, in Ottawa, Ontario.

Baja Burger @ Britannia Beach

The atmosphere at Britannia beach is something like a little piece of California. I had been on an excursion with my class of Spanish kids who were in Canada learning English for the summer of 2010. We stepped off of the public transit into a beautifully landscaped environment. The water was warm, the beach sand was hot! The girls were in bikinis and the guys had rented out a volleyball net. Let the fun begin! I first layed out on the beach with my lady friend to get our tan-on.
After several hours had passed, and we had both fallen asleep, we noticed that all of our kids had taken it upon themselves to ride the bus back home to the city as they had class early the next morning, responsible kids.
For us older folks, the night was still young! We walked over to a little area that had been newly formed a couple weeks prior to our arrival. Baja Burger! This quaint little corner consisted mainly of several tables and chairs with a light airing of latin music pumping through the speakers. At the counter we met the owner of the business who was more than eager to have us try their famous burgers! After having a great conversation with the man, we were sold! A short wait in the shaded patio was well worth our time. The burgers came out wraped in neat little packages for us. The burgers were made of only the finest AAA Angus meat and were cooked right before our eyes on the barbecue! Delicious does not even begin to describe the intense flavours that poured through the juicy tender morcels that were each bite. I’m not sure what spices or seasonings, if any, were put into the burgers but they were absolutely the best that I’ve had all year (and I am a BIG fan of summertime bbq burgers!).
The toppings were of our own choice, and yet they managed to put in a little something extra, and since I cannot quite put my finger on it, it must be said that the extra ingredient was love. A love for creating the greatest burgers this side of Ottawa! If ever you have the chance to get out to Britannia beach, I must highly recomend that you try out Baja Burger, you may stay for the shade, but you must love the burgers!

Hello folks fans and freaks!

My job in the big city of Ottawa has ended and it’s now time for another adventure! Where this world will take me I have no idea! I have my passport in hand and a whole slew of credentials backing me up! However, don’t forget that I am always available as a freelance writer for hire! I can do my own photography and graphic design as well. If interested send emails to dr.jaycole@gmail.com

This weeks story involves a passage through time. We in Canada have no history in comparison with the other side of the world with all their green pastures and whatnot. We have modern wooden and plastic homes that are built to fail us. We have no ruins, no ancient architecture and no structural artifacts have been discovered buried under sands. This leads me to my question, while Rome was being built, what were the people here doing? How come the tribes didnt build pyramids like in Mexico? Why were no roads made? Was life all about living WITH the earth as opposed to living ON the earth? I think yes. It seems our societies these days just don’t care about the ol earth anymore. We cut down trees, plant new trees, cut them down again, pinching, pulling, and pissing all over her. It’s no great wonder that we are plagued with monsoons, tsunamis’s, tidal waves, flooding, pestilence and disease. If Karma is real, and I faithfully believe her to be a real mean ol bitch of a thing, then we totally deserve everything we get thrown at us. From oil spills in the ocean to moving mountains and diverting natural waterways, we have been poking and prodding at our great mother for far too long, and soon my friends it is bound to happen that she twitches at the pinches and wipes us clear. I’m not gonna mention 2012, woops, I just did!
All in all,there have been hundreds of these “End of the world” scenarios played out over our time, and also through our parents times and none have yet to come true. This “big one” however, is so huge that it has to make you think for a moment, “Could it be real?”
Could the end of the world as predicted by the Mayans be more hooplah, or could it be true, even metaphorically? Perhaps the world doesn’t end in the sense that all life is obliverated, but maybe something else will happen that will hinder our current earthly views on “the way it is supposed to be”.

I’m not into spurting lame facts and timelines at you, so you can do your own research and we shall leave todays’ rant on that down-note.

Peace,
