Here is a series of ( social_experiments) performed at a downtown coffee shop in Vancouver. These experiments took place between February 21st, 2011 and August 5th, 2011. This was a fun experiment designed to test the integrity of the general public walking by a downtown Vancouver coffee shop on a normal day during daylight hours.

Patchouli Oil – The Easy Way to Lose Friends and Kill People
Originally posted at www.blenzseymour.com, Thu, 03/03/2011 – 20:20 —————————————- It started with a gagging feeling in the back of my throat. You know – the one you get if you stick your finger far enough back. Usually it causes a kind of automatic ‘wwwweck!’ sound, but I digress. Then, a kind of dry-eye feeling (if that’s a feeling) arose. Sounds…
Tutorial: Making the World a Better Place with your Complaining
Originally Posted at www.blenzseymour.com, Thu, 09/29/2011 – 21:03 ——————- Intriguing title? I had no choice. I knew that the people who really need to read this wouldn’t if I didn’t word it that way. The inspiration for this tutorial is based on one of those ‘situations’ that didn’t need to become a ‘situation’ at all. As I was sitting there…
A Forwarded Email from Mom Worth Blogging
Originally posted at www.blenzseymour.com, Thu, 10/06/2011 – 20:38 Mom’s gonna read this for sure so I can’t say anything about her forwarded emails but you know… Moms like to forward stuff to their kids. It’s like social media to them. My mom is great because we’ve been pretty open about what I auto-delete and what I actually read so she…
Cutting Out the Rust
rusty <–CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO AUDIO RECORDING OF THIS POST. RIGHT CLICK ‘SAVE LINK AS’ WORKS TOO. One of my fondest ever memories is that of my 1977 Honday Civic. This thing was dope. Four speeds, a super long stick shift, felt like you were going 200K on the highway when you were actually going 85, and had those…
When to Fight and When to Fold ’em
I’m not a fighter. If someone were to attack me I would just curl up in a ball and try to protect my vital organs. I tried Tae Kwon Do to remedy that back in high school but I still find it easier to curl up in a ball. I’m not lazy, but I just figure even dirtbags would feel…
Our Generation: Dude, somebody should probably go save her.
So I’m reading a news article (rare) when I come across this article about some chick (is that politically correct?) who got swept away (literally). I think the point of the article was to confirm that the woman didn’t end up falling off the corner of the earth but it got me thinking about the true meaning of this video. …
Why the Crapital Letters?
So there I am typing an email to someone who sits somewhere between a friend, an acquaintance and a business partner. I had begun the email typing very quickly, not even taking the time to hit the shift key to capitalize his name. At the end of the email, as is customary, I nailed the shift key and typed my…
How do you pronounce the word Ubuntu?
First, why does it matter? One time a woman named ‘Pam’ got very angry at me for calling her ‘Pamela’. It didn’t matter to me, but it mattered to her. It’s kind of like when you’re talking on your phone really loudly but don’t realize it until other peoples’ eye daggers start piercing your vital organs. It’s kind of like…
Your Feet Were Made for Stinking, Not Sitting
I’m baffled that this topic has been so discussed in my circle that I had to write an article to direct people to in the future. I hope that this article will save you a lot of time and energy should you have to deal with these people as customers in your food establishment or as friends in your living…
