Thank you for checking out my blog. If you are reading this from facebook my last night at Hugo’s is fast approaching. If you can make it to Hugo’s on Tuesday, October 21st then that would be super.
Jeremy’s Last Night at Hugo’s EVAR!!!

I have updated my Pure Volume page with a new clip from my radio show. I had a cute attack when Drew and Jordin called into the show to request a song.
Please have a listen: KIDS / Safety Buzz / Bon Jovi

A neighbour in my building moved out yesterday. Not normally a big deal as one of those there facts of life is, people move. But I am really going to miss this neighbour. Turns out, it was his wireless internet connection Coral and I were logging on to.
Coral and I had a minor panic attack when the laptop went dead yesterday. We decided to be grown-ups about the whole thing and get our very own wireless router machine.
Not as painful as I thought it would be. Coral set the thing up while I was at work. She thinks it would be a good idea to put some security on our connection… because you know, sometimes neighbours will log onto your unsecured network. devious.

I have decided that I will run for Esquimalt Town Council. If you live in Esquimalt or know someone that does, I sure would appreciate their vote. I have yet to see results from the last election so I am not sure how many I’ll need to win. The population of Esquimalt is 17,000ish so I don’t think it will take too many to squeak in. I have been researching like crazy on some of the major issues effecting affecting our little town. I have some ideas and some things I’d like to see. I have a vision for the sort of community I want to live in. I need to articulate the concepts and make sure i have the facts to back it up.
The next step will be to get the papers signed and delivered tomorrow. Write my platform and then think of how I can get my name out there on a zero dollar budget (or, almost zero). I think I will try to lean on my buddy Ted or maybe Tyson for a website so I can post my platform and then it will be a matter of creating a flier and walking around my neighbourhood handing them out. I figure I’ll campaign really hard in my part of town and try to touch base with as many neighbours as possible. I’ll forgo the whole sign thing unless some Santa Claus type person drops some coin on me. A Facebook group will be created and I think I might try a pub night. I ran before in Coquitlam and pub nights were a great fundraiser/mixer.
If you have any ideas or thoughts, I’d really appreciate it.
Go with yourself.
My sister is moving to Esquimalt I’m sure you have her and her boyfriends vote. Also I can get you a website done (cheap as free by Darryl)
Do it. Makes me want to move to Esquimalt, just so I can vote for you, JB.
thanks guys!

1) I can’t believe the guy didn’t know the living on a prayer lyric…. and you gave him the easy spot too. I’m disappointed right now.
2) Yes. Secure your wireless… especially in a condo type building…. think about what your neighbours might download… now imagine Shaw (or telus) thinking thats you…. 😛
3) I’m in Langford, so no help. Sorry man. But best of luck with the council thing. Good for you man! 🙂
I felt like a grown up too when I went out and bought my own wireless…i tell ya, if there’s ever a fire..children out first and if I have to run back in for the lappy and router, so be it.
Best of luck on the new venture in Esquimalt! If there’s anything we can do to support, let us know.
