The Top Ten Things Not to do in Mexico if You're a Married Man...

10. Get Engaged to a Lady Boy at an after hours stripclub in a hot tub

9. Go on a Boob Cruise and write it off as a business fishing trip

8. Pay $1000 dollars for VIP access at the beach party for the privilege of spraying twerking spring
    break girls with overpriced vodka and old man ball sweat

7. Spend $10, 000 on Mexican beach drugs and melt any emotional connections in your neural
    network connecting you to your wife and family

6.  Get caught on camera doing body shots off of a guy named Patrick

5. Suck on any toes. This also goes for unmarried men...

4. Take an extension on your line of credit to pay the "fines" for getting out of Mexican prison (twice)

3. Consult the Local Pharmacia for a prescription shampoo for the Mexican super crabs you  
    claim to have caught by "using a strangers towel" at the beach

2. Butt dial your wife at 4:00am and have her hear the whole conversation up until the last phrase:  
    "C'mon jump into the pool for more body shots with us. Your wife will never know! SPLASH!"

1. Let anything get out of Mexico...

I'm Going to Alberta

So I've made a big decision to leave my home and move to Fort Mac to make some money and pay off my student loans...

It seems like the oil sands are like a giant magnet for young people looking to make a few bucks in these economic hard times.

But, I'm not actually going. I was just thinking about how many people must have thought about, or actually moved to Alberta, in search of those oil dollars. How many of us have imagined leaving behind our rented houses and moving into something half as big for twice as much in picturesque Fort Macmurray?

I have actually considered doing so many times since finishing university, but something always convinces me otherwise. I will do the math and convince myself that it isn't really that much money, or I will imagine 40 below mornings before a twelve hour shift. It is usually enough to keep me here in southern British Columbia.

However, I can't ignore that earning between 90,000 and 250,000 dollars a year wouldn't be a decent pay raise. Then I just have to convince myself that fancy cars and hats aren't really necessary. But I do like a nice hat.

These are some thoughts I had on the prospect of moving to Alberta. Lots of people seem to be going there, and also leaving there.
Any thoughts?
