I love learning and being well informed on what is happening in the world. My favorite topics are culture, the arts, and nature. I am half Canadian and half American. I am an athlete, artist, and musician.

Hey Pandas, Whatâs The Funniest Thing That Has Ever Happened To You?
Don't know if it is funny, but certainly a happy one for me. So it was back in the 90s, I was madly in love with this girl. It was at the time when I had quit my job and started my own business. Everything was going well and we were planning to get married. But her single mother suddenly started opposing as I don't have a permanent job, and she won't do anything against her mother's will as she was her only child. So, I became sad and lost. One day two of my friends called me and took me on a trip to make me feel better. We started exploring western side of the country and after two or three days, we ended up in this bar. My friends got boozed up, and I was sitting alone thinking about her. I couldn't control myself and started crying. The bartender was a nice guy, he showed interest in me and asked me my story. I told about her and showed her photo and all. He tried to cheer me up and he was like everything will be alright, don't lose hope etc. We continued the trip and reached home after few days. I wanted to meet her desperately and I went straight to her house and knocked the door. But, it was a guy who opened the door and invited me in. He was her uncle (her mom's brother) He asked about my family, business and all and finally he said he and his sister are okay with my wedding. I was shocked. I couldn't believe what just happened. Turns out he was living in the west and was a friend of the bartender who I spoke to. Thing is that I showed her photo and forgot to take it back. Bartender told my story to him and showed the photo. Her uncle, being the gentleman he is, went to her house and spoke to her mom and convinced her. Anyway, we are getting ready to celebrate our 28th anniversary in few months.Hey Pandas, Whatâs The Funniest Thing That Has Ever Happened To You?
This isnât my story but my parentâs story. My dad was just engaged with my mum pretty much a week before this. They were at a cafe with my mumâs parents and they were sitting outside. My dad got a Coke can while the others got coffee. Then a bee landed on his coke can. He flicked it off and as soon as he flicked it my grandpa leaned over exposing just a tiny bit of his crack. My dad flicked it right into that crack and then my grandpa started running around yelling his butt was on fire. My dad then had to help him get the stinger out in the bathroom.
