The World According to Me

Fucking Muggles.

April 9, 1917.

Amazing how many people forget. Amazing how many people forgot. Amazing how many people never knew, cared or will care.

There is more Canadian blood spilled throughout Europe then there is on our own soil, and we forget. The sacrifice these people made for us is symbolized by monuments we never visit, a holiday we take for granted, and a plastic flower we hardly take the time to wear. If not for that sacrifice where would we be now. If not for that sacrifice what would the face of our nation be. It wasn't merely battle for democracy and freedom of Europe, but it was a defining moment in the birth of a nation.
My country born out of adversity, born from the spirit of the ultimate sacrifice, and in return we callously turn our back on the memory of those before us.

When you forget where you came from, you have no direction in where you are going. We as a nation are forgetting where we came from, we are becoming as rudderless as the U.S. It is not about November 11, or about a poppy, or about giving thanks. It is about not taking for granted those that sacrificed for us in the past, and sacrifice for us in the present. We lost 6 more today. While you may not agree with why they are there, we need to support them while they are there.

I am going to hell.

2006-09-10T10:50:00.000-07:00

I just wrote an E-mail to the Pope.

No seriously.

I decided enough was enough. When the Pope is going to bring my country into a conversation and state that our tolerance is mere folly. I must say something. The man the world knows as the Pope was in millitary service during the etermination of the Jews. He is a man that heads a religion that preaches intolerance and hate. It singlehandedly kills more people everyday than any other religion known to man. It disapproves of birth control spreading HIV and unwanted pregnancy. It does not allow divorce, how many children are affected by these unloving relationships? It allows pedophiles to move freely throughout the church in order to hide from prosecution. It has destroyed civilizations, it has destroyed free thought, and it does this all in the name of God.

Like I said in my email to the Pope, and I think this is something you can all agree....

When the end comes, and we meet our maker, I hope that God passes judgement on us as a Canadian would, as opposed to passing judgement on us as a Roman Catholic.

When a church loses its way, and becomes a corporation why does nobody speak up?
God is watching. God is not happy.

On a side note....If Jesus does decided to come back, who the hell is going to believe him? I am assuming he will not be resurrected on live television, nor will it be in some major mall. So who will actually believe the man that claims to be the second coming of Christ? Just a thought.

The other woman...

2006-09-02T10:20:00.000-07:00

I am in love with another woman. She completes me in a way my wife never could. She melts my heart with a single glance, and we can spend hours together, just holding eachother without having to say a word. My love for her is pure, genuine, and never complicated. It is without hesitation, and without condition. I will do anything for her, I will give my life for her. I know she will be mine for only a little while, and I will have to let her go at some point. However right now, she is mine, and right now is where I live. I live in these moments, and cherish them.

I love you Elayne.

PokerStars!

2006-08-16T22:16:00.000-07:00

It is official. I am a poker superstar.....I finished 4th in a local casino tournament. Made a little money at that one.

It is like the door to good and evil has just opened. I can see both the sudden value and demise of my life. It is a delicate balance...the whole thing between addiction and winning. Addicted to the winning, addicted to the rush of the game, addicted to the battle of wills. I hate the losing. I hate the loss of money. Dammit, why does poker taunt me.

It is the best of times, it is the worst of times.

Oh for the love of....

2006-08-07T16:55:00.000-07:00

Where do people get off? (no this is not a sexual post)

A garbage member of society, who is a convicted criminal, who is in breach of his probation, runs from police. The police chase him, send a police dog after him, and when the police dog catches him, he stabs the police dog repeatedly. As any good officer does, who sees a fellow officer in a life threatening situation, the partner draws his weapon and shoots this man several times.

You would think that is the end of the story....but no. The mother of the convicted dirtbag is complaining because police shouldn't have shot at her kid. Are you freaking kidding me? He was stabbing a police officer with a knife! You may wish to argue the point that it is only a dog, but a dog on duty is just as much a police officer as any person is. Someone needs to take this woman aside, and perhaps explain to her that it was her poor parenting that got her child shot, and not the bad and nasty police man.

Now here in Richmond there was a police chase. A woman in a vehicle who was known to police, and was known to be prohibited from driving was in a vehicle driving down the road. The police engage in an effort to pull her over, and she proceeds to speed away. The police are forced to chase this women in a high speed persuit. Now, you can again argue that perhaps high speed persuits are not the best option, however this woman has been prohibited from driving. There is a reason for that. Has she killed someone before? Is she a chronic drunk driver, which makes her a menace to society? Either way, the police engage her and she flees. During the pursuit, she strikes a vehicle driven by an innocent civilian and he is killed in the crash. My sympathies go out to that family, however now they are getting a lawyer and looking at suing the Richmond police force. This country is becoming more and more American everyday and it is frightening. If the family wishes to seek renumeration, which will not bring their father back, they need to seek it through the criminal, not the people doing their jobs. Had the police let her drive on by, and she killed someone else while driving while prohibited they would be dealing with the backlash of that. When will we stop blaming police for the actions of the criminals? If a death or damage, or any other event occurs that is the direct result of that initial criminal act, than it should be tacked on to your list of crimes. I don't care if because you are stealing a car, and a police officer responding to that runs over a pedestrian wearing all black, you are liable for that death. Murder One. Go to prison, do not pass go, do not collect $200.

It is time we toughen up sentences. It is time we make criminals pay for their actions, and it is time we respect our police for the bullshit they put up with daily.

Oh yeah...I think we should really do something in Israel quickly....they are getting out of hand. The whole lot of them. Not just Israel, but the whole middle east.

Kids in a sandbox....kids in a sandbox....

Food is my friend...

2006-07-29T13:10:00.000-07:00

What a great idea....A Taste of Vancouver!

I am going to head downtown today, and eat my face off! All for the low low price of....50 cents to 3 dollars per sample. How do they stay in business? Actually, who cares, as long as the food is good. Today I am going to sample new foods I have never had before. I may also have a burger just because it is supposed to be the towns greatest burger. We shall see.

Hey...this one wasn't a negative post. I rawk!

These are a few of my most hated things....

2006-07-12T19:37:00.000-07:00

I don't know if you can sing this to the tune of "Favorite Things", but feel free to try.

Star Jones Reynolds and War Memorial Pissers. Cop shooting bastards and fathers that help them. Zoos that breed and kill giraffe younglings. These are a few of my most hated things!

Ignorant people. Red light runners. Smokers, and spitters, and people that litter. Ignorant people who just want my change. Go get a job and wash off that damn mange!

Girls who wear camouflage and the boys who do love them. Olives, tomatos, and Idols with no rythym. These are a few of my most hated things!

When the car breaks. When my sink plugs. When I can't close my eyes. I simply try to forget these things. For these are the things I despise.

You know....it is really hard to keep doing it with other things to kind of fit. Especially when I am doing it off the top of my head, however, if you listen to the song, all they do is repeat anyhow, so all in all, for a few minutes of my time, off the top of my head, this was an adequate job.

With a little trying, and the song playing at the same time, you can really get it to fit.

Anyhow. Israel. Please...please...please....do not fall for the madness. If you buy into the Lebanon issue, you are forgetting the bigger picture here. Iran.

Draw the line, it goes right back to Iran. The Middle East is about to get mighty hot. I won't be surprised to see the desert turn to glass in the coming months.

Mushroom clouds are in our future once again. What a lovely time to bring a child into the world.

Greater Vancouver Zoo

2006-07-09T18:36:00.000-07:00

Welcome to the Greater Vancouver Zoo. You may remember it as a child being called the Vancouver Game Farm.

Things have changed a lot since the days of the game farm. Now here at the Zoo, we like to kill hippos and torture baby giraffes! Yes that's right. Why let these animals, that are so large and cumbersome survive. They only eat far too much food, and make far too much of a mess for our employees to clean up. So what we have decided to do is start an animal concentration camp. One where we will let Darwinism take full effect. Only the fittest will survive, and of course the ones we do not to any strange testing on. Right now, we are actually mating geriatric giraffes! This is great fun. The kids will love to see the suffering animals. Bring them all down, and if you are one of the lucky few you might just get to watch an animal die right before your eyes!

All this and more is waiting for you at the Greater Vancouver Zoo!

(Yeah, I have been on a negative rant lately. Go figure. I have no idea what brought it on, perhaps it is just bottled up hostility?)

Stephen Fernandes

2006-07-07T17:23:00.000-07:00

This is your legacy. You will forever be the smug piece of garbage you have proven yourself to be. If ever you do anything meaningful in your life (which is highly doubtful), you will be forever referred to as "The person caught urinating on the National War Memorial." What an impressive title. I am sure your mother is very proud of you now.

The day you wake up, get your head out of your ass, and realize the utter lack of respect your actions have portrayed, is the day you will finally feel some of the shame you should rightly feel. Men and women of our proud country fought and died for the rights and freedoms that Europe and North America have today. For the last 100 years our soldiers have died so you could enjoy your wasted existance. Men and women far younger than you died on the front line, in a foreign country so you could disgrace them like you did. When you issue your feeble apology written by your lawyer it will be without remorse and understanding, it will be out of self preservation. If our soldiers had the same immature, irresponsible, and self righteous attitude you have the world would be a far worse place. When you avoid jail time, and any real punishment, thank your chosen god for all the soldiers who died before you, who gave their life, so you could urinate on their monument. I can safely say this was not the freedoms they had in mind when they so bravely fought for us.

May the rest in peace eternally.

Ignorant Pricks

2006-07-04T15:34:00.000-07:00

You are an ignorant prick. Check that. You are not even that respected. You are perhaps the most uneducated piece of shit on this planet. You have desecrated a monument dedicated to those who died in combat for our country, and the freedoms which you enjoy. You have desecrated a monument which stands for the heroics and bravery of each and every one of our Canadian soldiers. Your drunken stupidity has made you nothing short of an immature prick, who deserves whatever punishment a Veteran can come up with. I hope when you see your picture in the news your family is proud. I hope that your friends families are just as proud. I am sure when you are brought to justice you will plea drunken ignorance. I am sure that this will smooth things over with your family, as they will look for any reason to forgive you, but I truly hope someone takes the time and effort to desecrate your resting place, your home, your vehicle, hell, even your pet. I hope that for weeks on end, your mailbox leaks urine. I hope that for the coming years you are always pointed at and remembered for being the schmuck you are.

I will post your name and picture again, once it is discovered. You will not be forgotten in at least one small corner of the world, and internet. You shame all that carry your bloodline. I hope you one day feel the amount of shame you should.

#80

2006-06-26T22:29:00.000-07:00

This is post #80, not a moumental on or anything, it was more just a little item I noticed.

So anyhow, I was perusing blogs and I realized something. We are all little voyeurs. We peek into other peoples lives in order to catch a fleeting glimpse of what exactly? Do we look to see if they are doing well? Do we look to see if they are doing something naughty? Do we hope to sneak a peek of them at their most intimate moment? I wonder, if we really even care what happens to these people? I mean, if you heard on the news that the write from pointlesstochoose.blogspot.com died, would you even register that in your head? For most no. Actually, there are so few who read this, that maybe that is a bad point. They might notice.

However in the grander scheme of things, I wonder if we care, or we are just perverts in our own safe little way. Never really stepping too far outside our comfort zones and perusing the lives of others from the safety of the computer monitor. Never putting yourself too far out there, and never being caught for who you really are. The everyday normal damaged person we all are.

Oh well....I will keep peeking in on you, you, you and you, and at some point, maybe we can all have a beer at the same time in all our little corners of the world, and feel like somehow we really do matter to the other people in blog land. Or, we can just continue to peer from a distance and enjoy the perceptions we create for eachothers lives.

Thats all...its so hot....I cant think straight when it gets hot. I get edgy and agitated. I need to sleep. I have to work tomorrow.

Bye.

NHL Draft and other tidbits.

2006-06-26T10:46:00.000-07:00

I attended the NHL Draft this past weekend. Made it on to TSN as well. You can see me behind Napoleon Dynamite when the Flames picked him with there late first round pick. The kid had to be a goalie because he just didn't look the part of a hockey player. Funny story though. I had left the tickets for the draft securely locked in my desk at work. With no way to get into my desk on a weekend, we decided to go down to GM place and try to buy some tickets to get in. No luck. Sold Out. So we went to the great bar known as The Shark Club. Right on Beatty. Yes go there. Please, go there. Great food, great service. Hot Waitresses. (sexist remarks are allowed on draft days, I dont make the rules, I just follow them. ) Anyhow, we are drinking a pitcher, eating a pizza, when a guy approaches us, and asks who won the Argentina-Mexico game. We tell him and he is elated. Few minutes later, a group of East Indian males approach us in the empty bar, and ask if we are watching the draft. We confirmed we were, and at that point the guy pulls out a stack of tickets and says, " A couple of our friends are jerking us around. Here are a couple of tickets have a good time." Well well well...my tickets found me....so we went to the draft, saw Wayne Gretzky in person, had Randy Carlyle standing beside us, and intruded upon a conversation between Dave Nonis and Brian Burke. All through the draft my lips were flapping...I should mention we snuck down to sit with the players and agents. IT was great, I was making cheap shots the whole time about GM's I didnt like, and the agents were howling. Ahhhh ever the showman......But alas it was a good day. Free hot dogs, free tickets, and puck bunnies galore.

World Cup update.....Argentina and Portugal still look great. England and Italy still look horrible.

On the home front....My daughter is spectacular. I know all parents gloat about their baby...but this one doesnt cry. I mean sure she cries when she is hungry or gassy, but that is it. The rest of the time, she sits contently with her mommy or daddy, and just sits....I have to admit, when she gives you that little cute girl look, she gets anything she wants. I just go out and buy stuff on a whim if she smiles the right way. She is a spoiled little girl already, but I dont think she knows it yet. I have some time to curb that before she recognizes it.

My quick rants...The US needs to quit bitching when two of their soldiers are tortured. When you operate a secret prison on an island that doesn't want you there, and you do not let people in to see how they captives are being treated, and you are holding them illegally, you really dont have anything to bitch about. Turn about is fair play.

If you don't understand homosexuality, don't hate it. I don't understand cold fusion, but you dont see me out hating it! Fucking Cold Fusion, someone should kill all cold fusionists.....its unnatural.

Stephen Harper, you are still a moronic sack of shit. Until such time as you get a platform that makes some sense, I will consider you a sack of shit. So far you have handed out money, and pissed off the Aboriginal people of Canada.....not a good start really.

Stupid heat. Too Hot. Brain overloads.

I need something to blog about on a more continual basis. Perhaps I will start to post my deviant sexual thoughts just as a way to disturb you all. I mean, is there really anything wrong with rape fantasies, anal sex, and school girl uniforms???

World Cup'06

2006-06-12T12:26:00.000-07:00

Sure, it isn't as exciting as Italia 90, nor does it have the pinache of being so close to home as it was when the U.S. hosted it. Alas, it is here, and I am loving it.

I was sitting there watching the game with my daughter. Yes she is only 5 weeks old, but she already understands the nuances of the game. I was showing her how to take space when it is given, how to make diaganol runs, to know that ther eis going to always be "garbage" on every shot to the net or on every free kick. She gets it. I can tell. She is inherently a soccer player. She gets it from her dad. She was annoyed with Sweden when they weren't doing all the small things. She was excited to see Portugal make those nifty little passes. However she wasn't pleased with their finish. She was also taken aback by the lack of interest shown by the English.

Bless her soul. She gets it. She coos when she sees something she likes, and she likes the flashy brilliance of the Latin American teams, and she cries when she sees the lack lustre play of the Germans. It is great. She is going to learn from someone who knows there stuff, I am going to show her how to anticipate, how to see 5 passes ahead of the game. Soccer is like chess. There is a flow to the game that has a natural progression, and when you are in tune to it, you can anticipate it. Figo, Maradonna, Pele all had or have the intuition. Elayne will have the intuition.

Anyhow. I am going to make a bold statement. Mexico will shock the world and go a long ways. Australia could make the upset and go to the next round. England will stutter, the Germans will putter, and Portugal or the Czechs are going to win this thing. GO PORTUGAL!

Whoa

2006-06-10T23:10:00.000-07:00

Hi.

Sorry about that whole not being around thing.

I know, I should have written. Let you know I was ok. I have just been busy. This new baby takes a lot out of me. I should tell you though, that she is incredible. She amazes me everyday. I never thought I could fall in love so quickly, so powerfully as I did with this tiny little girl. I am a lucky lucky man.

Again. I am sorry for leaving you out in the cold. If it is any consolation, I have thought about you.

Hi

2006-05-03T15:32:00.000-07:00

Uhmmm...just thought some of you may be curious.

I had a baby girl last night. 9 lbs 7 ozs.

Elayne illa Christine

Yeah....im jaded....she is ADORABLE!

Back to the hospital now...Mommy had a c-section and I have to be the good man and take care of her.

I am going to really like being the go to guy. I hope I do a good job.

Blogger you suck....

2006-04-24T10:25:00.000-07:00

Why does Blogger suck so harshly? I am amazed by its ability to never be fully functional. How the hell am I supposed to rant with anger when it doesnt work. It seems silly to be all pissy, start a rant, and then post it later when you have calmed down somewhat. I am a reactionary being, I cannot think about things, it takes away from my passion.

Can someone suggest a new target. Politics and Religion, while they do get my goat, are being over done. What else can I be pissy about. Maybe something new and exciting...like...interest rates, or third world debt relief.

Oh yeah, and if your child has ADD, you are a bad parent you sack of shit. Thank you and Goodnight.

Back to Stephen Harper

2006-04-24T09:24:00.000-07:00

Again you have pissed me off. Your arrogance is stunning. Your decision to not lower the flag to half mast on the Peace Tower when a soldier dies is dispicable. Your presumption that Canadians are unable to recognize that November 11 is to remember those that have fallen in the past, and that when the flag is lowered any other time, is to honor the families of those that lost someone in todays conflicts is astonishing. You have just diminished the lives of all who die for our country. If you only could at least have some balls, and admit that the reason you are not going to be lowering flags is because you are going to extend our millitary to more "American" duties, and the losses are about to climb dramatically. Please explain to the families of those that die defending countries that do not want us there that their lives are meaningless. That we are not going to recognize their valiant effort. I disagree with our soldiers being there. I disagree with being the worlds cleaning crew for out of control masses. You leave us in Haiti, Afghanistan, Somalia, and others and you are now going to tell us that those deaths do not equal the deaths of someone who died in WWI or WWII? The death of any soldier in any conflict or operation, be it Iraq patrols, or sandbagging a flooding river should be shown the same respect. We pay our soldiers a meager salary, and we expect them to defend us. We owe it to them to respect them, to show them dignity in their deaths, to be humbled by their efforts. We owe them that little.

Really boring guy....

2006-04-17T19:16:00.000-07:00

I really don't have anything to say right now. Sometimes I feel like I rant, and it is for the sake of ranting. Sometimes I feel like I post, simply for the sake of posting, and while it is mostly to stay in contact with some of you, I don't want to waste your time with mindless drivel just for the sake of posting.

I guess my Canucks missing the playoffs came true....I knew it would though....and I guess George Bush is still a moron, so really, nothing has changed too much in the world.

I have decided though, that if I am offered enough money I might execute Pat Robertson....assuming I can get a country to accept me that doesnt have an extradition treaty with the U.S.

Hey, any baseball people out there. I wouldn't mind going to see a game or two in Seattle again this year, it will be hard though with the kid coming and all. Wow, only a few more weeks.....

Wow, only a few more weeks.....

Wow, only a few more weeks.....

holy shit.

I'm about to be a Daddy. Like it or not, here it comes, and I am going to need to adjust in a major way. No more selfish me. No more me. Now it is all about her.

Time to go. It is Monday, and there must be something on to watch.

Clearly he wasn't thinking....

2006-04-04T18:54:00.000-07:00

This could very well be one of the funnier moments in highschool history. How many of us have dreamed of something like this happening to our most hated teacher? Oh what the hell, who cares if you hated him, this would be one of those moments of deathly silence, followed by unbelievable amounts of laughter. This would make you pee your pants first in fear, and second in laughing fits. Go ahead, read it if you dare. It won't make you pee, but you will giggle for a while

MORON

I think I must look evil....

2006-04-03T19:14:00.000-07:00

I had a strata member come over and talk to me tonight. He basically wanted me to remove a planter from my patio as it was causing some unsightly rust to form on the patio. I said"Sure, no problem." You would think this conversation would be over now....but no...he went on to say that they want to paint, and there would be no point if I was going to leave the planter there. So again, I tell him I will move it. It is not an issue. Then he goes on telling me that he is a volunteer and just wants to keep the place looking nice, and that in the long run this is a benefit to the complex. At this point, I am getting a little annoyed, I mean, what part of no problem is difficult here. So....I said I would do it, and walked away mid sentence. It was unfortunate I had to be rude, but I wasn't sure how to be any more clear. So, the planter has been moved, and the issue should be resolved.....or I will be getting some sort of a fine from strata......

I have a new nephew as of April 1. His name is Logan. Ugly little guy. Most are right away. Oh well....I guess I better get used to the little ones being around....

Grrr.

2006-03-29T21:27:00.000-08:00

Ok, so what I thought was going to happen, didnt happen, so I have nothing to blog about. Instead I am going to go on a blogabout, and if I find anything of interest I am going to come back and make note of it. I should note though, that the greatest recipe around is posted on a wonderful Vancouverite's site. She is as sexy as her recipe, and that means something coming from picky me. (I am picky with my recipes, less so with my women smart ass!)

Anyhow, go visit her site, read it, enjoy her use of the english language, and study her treatment of men. You women can learn a lot from her, you men out there, keep dreaming. If you dream it, you can achieve it, and she is proof they are out there! DREAM

Tonight should be good.

2006-03-29T06:14:00.000-08:00

I am sort of looking forward to it. I should have something good to post this evening. Or at least something that will be of interest. Mind you, at the end of the day, maybe I will have nothing at all.

Stupid nothing anyways....

Oh yeah, I made a woman cry yesterday. Sometimes it feels good when that happens. Muhahahahahah I can be so evil at work when I need to be.

I am calling it now...

2006-03-27T20:47:00.000-08:00

It is 3-2 the Canucks are losing. I am calling this one, and this season over. Perhaps I will have the joy of saying I was wrong, but I think the playoffs are done and gone now.

I think my little Ducks are going to get in though. I love Brian Burke. The guy is a genius.

Oh, that stupid eagle thing just really pissed me off. I thought it was live, but nooooo its dark out right now, how can I still see the eagle? Thats right...it is called the magic of bullshit.

Oh well, as George Bush would say..."There's an old saying in Tennessee -- I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee -- that says, fool me once, shame on... shame on you. Fool me -- you can't get fooled again."

Oh Georgie, you make me giggle

Newest Addiction...

2006-03-27T16:00:00.000-08:00

Can't stop watching....must eat food....don't want to miss a thing....dammit you silly eagle, why do you taunt me so!?!?

Wowsers!

2006-03-25T09:40:00.000-08:00

My back is buggered. It really is. It is in constant chronic pain, and has been for about 10 years. It is probably a direct result of jumping off the second story patio to impress the ladies. I distinctly remember the compression in my spine the first time I jumped off. It was the second and final time that really set the pain into motion. It lasted for a few weeks, but then disappeared. It left me for a while, and returned one day while on the soccer field. It was a moderate pain, obvious, but not incapacitating. It grew, and grew over the weeks, and got to the point where I was playing soccer in significant pain, it was limiting my speed, and my shooting ability. I was still better then most people on the team at 75% so I played through it. Then it all went downhill. I ended up in bed for days unable to move. The pain could be comapred to the feeling of having a hot steel rod slammed into your back and left there to burn the insides til they could only feel the most intense pain known to man. It was great fun.

Now the pain comes and goes. Pain is now judged by its intensity. When I say the pain is not there, it really means that the pain is bearable. It is still there. It always has been. There was a day or two where I woke up with no pain at all. Zero. It was an amazing day. It was short lived.

So now my boss is going to give me the name of a acupunturist. She apparently knows him, and he apparently works on the Vancouver Canucks. I guess it is good when your boss is so loaded she knows the important people of the community. Anyhow, if it works, I will be forever indebted. When it doesnt I will get to say I told you so.

Ok, so I had another orally fixated dream. What gives?

I want to buy two shirts for my baby. "Now that I am clear, I'm Pro-Choice" and "I am cuter then Baby Jesus"

Sure, I am going to hell for that. I have done worse in life, and am going to hell for that, so this is just another tick on the chart.

Karma is a great thing. I have truly moved the Karma cursor over to the positive side the last few days. I am sure something is going to occur to get me back to my obligatory neutrality I so crave.

I had nothing to say. Yet the need to say something. Sorry about this one!

The more I learn, the less I seem to know.

What the hell is a receiving blanket? What does it receive exactly? What do you do with it. Why is swaddling no longer an acceptable Western tradition? Why does a baby have to be put on its back if it can roll over? Do these gimmicky toy things work? How the hell are you supposed to differentiate between an "I shit myself" from a "Gimme the teet" cry? (aside from the obvious dumbass!!)

Wow, that is just the tip of the iceberg....Im fawked!

Why is Bon Jovi singing country duets?

Why is Stephen Harper creating a dictatorship?

Why does it cost 75K to run for leader of the stinking Liberals?

Yeah, anyhow, on another tangent. I was almost side swiped by a car full of teen punks. Two of them were larger then I, and the third was a long haired hippy sack of shit. The hippy was driving. Anyhow, they were driving like asswipes, almost hit me, and it happened. I got that "Corrections Officer, Im gonna fucking kill you" look. I used to get that when I worked in the prison and I got REALLY pissed. I had inmates tell me that they were afraid of me. Because they figured they could kick my ass but when I got that look in my eye, it was a crazed look, and they didnt want to fuck with me.
It seems the kids saw that. Because they were afraid of me screaming out my window at them. Here is the 32 year old guy yelling at these kids about learning how to drive if they are gonna take out Daddy's car. They didnt seem too interested in engaging me in future conversations while driving so I went to Nando's and had lunch. I had to chuckle, because as the adrenaline was coming down, I thought to myself....Man it would have been great to have my hispanic midget with me. Thats when it hit me. I need a superhero hispanic midget! That would be awesome! Sidekick extrordinaire!

I am going to search for the website that allows me to create a sidekick for my blog. One day you will see Tito, or Jorge, or Rodrigo posted here.

Just a thought...but if we put half the resources we pour into Afghanistan, and put them into low income housing and job trainging for the homeless. Wouldn't we have a model society to parade about the international stage, and actually have something to show the people of Afghanistan. A model for proper living. Meh, just a thought. Fuck helping ourselves when we can spend way more helping those that don't want us there! That is going to make a great rallying cry someday....

Fuck helping ourselves! Fuck helping ourselves!

George Bush you ignorant slut...

2006-03-16T19:55:00.000-08:00

According to the news it would appear that George Bush, the fucking President of the United States, is upset that Jessica Simpson did not want to appear at a Republican fundraiser.

I am going to pause for a moment here.....I just want you to think about that. Take a few seconds. I can wait........

The President of the United States who has a HISTORICAL ALL TIME LOW approval rating in his country over his handling of Iraq, Katrina, the economy and foreign policy is actually pissed because she didn't show up. 67% of all Americans feel that George is not doing a good job. I am going to hazard a guess here, that somehow in the deep recesses of his mind, George figured if he could only just be seen with Jessica that somehow his star would turn just as Nicks did. That if only he could hitch his wagon to that sweet looking pony, he would pull his sorry ass out of the gutter, and rise to the ranks of Reagan or Clinton. Sorry George, it is going to take a hell of a lot more then just partying with Jessica. You need to actually come up with something of substance. Take a look at little Nick now, where is he? He is trying to make ends meet, and contemplating pimping himself to the soap operas. That is an idea though George. You could take a run on General Hospital. They haven't had a great villian since Lucy Coe. You could fill the role nicely with your silly laugh, and moderately retarded thought processes.

I have to love now how the Republican Party is making this an issue. The even funnier part is how 50% of Americans will be distracted by this issue, while more Americans come home in body bags during this new offensive that was just launched today. Ooops, sorry guys, I wasn't supposed to mention that. It's ok they probably didn't notice. Most people are still looking at Jessica thinking how pretty she is, and how she just doesn't seem to have the brains to succeed. Wait a minute....isn't that what everyone said about George Jr? Give it 30 years. We may be calling her Mrs. President Simpson! Maybe the Republicans do know something after all.

Some religious nuts get to me....

2006-03-15T19:54:00.000-08:00

Pat Robertson. Please. Please. Please. I beg of you. Please do the world a favor, and terminate your existance. Your perpetual ignorance that you spew only makes me angry. To call for the assasination of foreign heads of state, to make statements that Islam is about world domination, and to make statements regarding that fact that god will not help people because they voted NOT to include teaching a bastardized version of your biblical theories. I am amazed that you have not been brought up on hate crime charges. You can hide behind your veil of religion but what you preach is hate. It saddens me. I am going to now stoop to your level.

I call upon the religious right that have integrity to take up the challenge and question Pat Robertson. Call upon his moral authority to judge. Following someone like Pat Robertson will lead to eternal damnation. I would like to make a completely incorrect statement at this point. Only one person has heard me say it, and being the non-religious man I am, I am going to.......yeah....I am going to refrain. Not out of good taste, but out of fear it may come up in a political campaign later in life.

Oh, Chef. While you call upon someone to suck on your chocolate salty balls, and stand by while all other religions and backgrounds are mocked, I hope you realize that you my friend are a hypocrite. You, and Tom Cruise can stand on your island, declare your love to Katie Holmes, and wait for your spaceship to take you to your other planet. I still think you like boys Tom. No matter what Chef says now. Last time I recall though, he was standing there asking you to come out of the closet too though.

Katie, if you want a real man call me. I have no problem having sex with pregnant women, I find them to be rather hot actually....

Oh no, I 've said too much.....I haven't said enough.

Hispanic Midgets.

2006-03-14T17:37:00.000-08:00

or are they little people? I do not know the terminology, but the they are invading my dreams. I am beginning to feel worried.

Ok, so for my job, I have to go to peoples houses, and basically collect money. I am an evil man. I know, and I live with that. However today, I go to a guys place, and his VERY attractive 19 year old daughter answers the door wearing little shorts and a little half shirt camisole thingy as she got out of bed to answer the door....now this throws me, but I maintain my composure and ask for the guy I am looking for. This jerk comes to the door, invites me in, and keeps asking his daughter stuff so she has to come over. I have to look at this while I am trying to work. I am having visions of a Seinfeld episode occuring, so I had to basically leave empty handed, or risk losing my job for gawking. I think he did it on purpose. Who knows.

I am going back for a cheque tomorrow...and Thursday...and maybe Saturday night!

The grind.

2006-03-13T21:43:00.000-08:00

Some days take less but most days take more.....Tomorrow is going to be one of those more days. I don't have anything to back that up, that is just how I am feeling right now. I should be sleeping, but I am partly too lazy to go upstairs, and partly enjoying the dark quiet of the house.

Maybe I am just bummed because the 'nucks lost AGAIN. Fucking Modano.

As of today, I officially have a business name and number. If this all plays out according to plan, I should be making substantial money, however, it is more likely that I am going to end up not making a god damned cent because the big bastard retailers will push me out of the way. Oh well, it is better to have tried and failed then to have never tried at all????? Fuck that, I hate failing. I used to be one who wouldn't bother trying because I might fail. It is starting to dawn on me that the attitude has probably kept me from gaining certain levels of personal greatness. No more bullshit. Nike has given me the motto, and I am goint to Just Do It.

So I had this dream....it was wierd, it involved me being a midget, with a buddy who was a hispanic midget, travelling the country while John Walsh from Americas Most Wanted filmed a documentary about us. We were trying to vandalize a train, as all midgets do, and we saw these two hot midgets, so we decided to go score....well as luck would have it, they drew us into a trap, and some confederate soldiers...yes...US Civil War confederate fucking soldiers caught us in a fenced area and killed my spanish midget buddy. WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT?

I blame John Walsh for not helping him.

Shortly after that dream, I dreamt I was having sex with this Penthouse model. Which got me thinking.....Why didnt I have sex with a Penthouse model when I was single....and it hit me. I am not in that league. Now don't get me wrong, I have had sex with some beautiful women. Dare I even say spectacular in their own right, but never a full on EVERYBODY loves hot chick. I currently have a very beautiful woman. No arguments there. I have had sex with a few very attractive women. No arguments there, but shouldn't a man have a insanely hot 10 outta 10 hot chick? Then I got to thinking....what fucking difference would it make. For all intents and purposes they all have the same parts, they all can do the same thing, whats the difference? You know what it is....it is all about bragging. Yet, I don't brag anyhow. I kid, I joke, I make fun of my past transgressions but I dont brag. So it wouldnt have done me any good. So...to all the beautiful women I have had in the past. You should be forwarned, I am TOTALLY going to start bragging about you. You are hot, I deserve the credit for bagging you!

Now back to the more loveable me....I have thoughts and feelings. I even sometimes am able to talk about them or write them down.

I am going to be a Daddy. Not a Dad, not a Father. I am going to be a Daddy. I am not saying there is anything wrong with being a Dad, or a Father. I am glad they showed up for those children. My little girl is going to have on hell of a great life. I am going to make damn sure she has everything. If that means working more hours then there are in a day, so be it. However, I am going to be there for every soccer game. Every dance recital. Every Science Fair. Every date! Yeah so you little fuckers better not get any ideas. I know what you guys are like. I will break your damn fingers if you so much as look at my little girl.

Anyhow....I have wasted enough of your time.

I am now going to sleep. Or read blogs. One of the two.

Oddities and Personal Idioms

2006-03-06T21:05:00.000-08:00

It has been pointed out to me that I seem to have some sort of oral sex fixation. I ask you that condemn me, IS THAT SO WRONG?!

The fact that I enjoy giving, and receiving. I consider it to be a daily Christmas!

How come Santa doesnt come to my house though?

Why does my nose bleed every night? Is it too dry? A tumor? Am I being assualted in my sleep?

How is it hair is growing in places it never grew before? I am still not feeling the pull to go to my local Pantry restaurant, however, I feel I may just be getting old. That may actually be the answer for all that is wrong with me. I am old.

The body is 32, the mind is still 18, and the sex drive follows the mind. What the hell is wrong with me?

I still shop at Old Navy and Thrifty's. Jebus, I have even glanced and perused items at RAndy River. I find though that I am buying more stuff at Tip Top, and Sears now. It is almost at that point where I put on a funny hat, odd shoes, mismatched socks, and a sweater with patches on the shoulders. I am fighting this getting old thing tooth and nail. Infact, the next CD I buy is going to be Kanye West. Mostly because I like him, but partly because I want to stay hip!

Speaking of hip, now my back is almost better, but my hip is killing me. What gives!?

I should hope I recover enough with my sad little broken body, to be able to play soccer again. I would like to play, and not just talk about playing. It was perhaps the one thing I was really good at. By good I dont mean best kid in school, or best kid in the neighborhood, I mean, I had real skill, talent, and a mind for the game. To the point where if things went my way, I really should have been paid to play. I am not bragging, I just know what I was good at. Now, it is something entirely different. What is it I am good at now you ask? I am going to return to the top of the blog now and start reading again.

Oh...sometimes it isnt so much the skin, as it is our surroundings. When you think it is you, it is generally someone else.

Tomorrow is a new day, with new beggingings.....but I will be at work making old ladies cry, so my fucking Karma is going to be shot to shit!

Invert this!

2006-03-02T20:30:00.000-08:00

Yeah I know, inversion isn't the cure all I had hoped it would be. I at least thought it would work.

I got this inversion table for christmas from my caring mother. She thought maybe it would end up helping me with my backpain and sciatic nerve issues. Well, I finally put it together today because of the previously posted back pains.

Well guess what, it all goes together really nicely. I am thinking this is gonna be great! The first lady is upstairs laying down (she has been put on 4 hrs bed rest due to high blood pressure and the possibility of toxemia) and I am watching the hockey game. So I figure it is a good time to get inverted. I go over and back, and am watching the game upside down. I am feeling the gentle pull of gravity working on my back, and am kind of enjoying the sensation of all the blood rushing to my head. I decided to get up now, as my feet are slipping out and I dont want to break my neck. So, I bend my knees a little, and move my arms to my waist...... nothing happens. I am still upside down. So I use all my strength and shimmy up the inversion table. STILL NO TILTING BACK TO NORMAL!!!! I struggle, I pull, I push, I squirm. NOTHING!!!! So now in my desperate state, I call for the first lady.....and I call again...and now I am yelling.....and no response.

So now I am stuck upside down on the verge of passing out, and I already have a slipped disk, so what does one do....I finally realize that I am going to have to slide out of this thing in some way or another, without crashing into the flat screen tv, the gas fireplace, or the large window that leads to a 9 foot fall to the backyard. It turns out, the best option was to roll towards the window, and with a slight twist, a half gainer, and a triple toe loop, I managed to slide down the inversion table, onto the floor, and avoid all the obstacles.

The inversion table is now in the garage, and will be going in the first garage sale, or dumpster. Whichever shows up first.

That was a great 15 minutes of my life.

Gentlemen...She does exist.

2006-02-28T12:18:00.000-08:00

I stumbled across this post. I thought they had all disappeared. Alas, they are still in existance!
Reality meets fantasy

Forgive my foray into my hormonal erotic side. I sometimes like to play there. It does the body good.

Maybe it will relieve the tension in my back!

L4 L5 and T3's

2006-02-27T10:53:00.000-08:00

So my back is out. T3's are making everything feel a little better. They give me the illusion of movement by masking most of the pain. I don't like walking around crooked. It makes me look silly. While I enjoy being the centre of attention in most cases, this is not one of those times.

My level of coherence has greatly diminished over the last few minutes as the T3's kick in. It is kind of fun. The train in my brain keeps leaving the station, then does a quick U-turn and comes back because it forgot where it was going. Conversations with me right now should be interesting.

It is 95% positive that I am having a baby girl. Elayne Illa. I don't know how it can happen, but just by knowing what she looks like, and seeing her move on the 3D ultrasound there is an instantaneous moment where you realize that even prior to birth, this little girl is bathed in unconditional love. I already know that at this moment I would die for her. She is already my little Princess.

24 medals. not a bad haul. I need more coffee. I think people should be nicer to eachother. I dreamt I got shot in the neck at a gas station last night. It was not fun.

Oh. Maybe I should show you my little girl. You can see her little nose, and big forehead. The umbillical cord gets in the way a little, but she is still pretty cute. (You do not have to agree. I think I say she is cute because I fell in love with her yesterday. She might actually be ugly, but I now understand how parents don't register that)

Anyways....I am going to pester people now. I need to do something to get through my day!

The trip....

2006-02-24T19:18:00.000-08:00

The trip started off poorly. I am sitting here still with a back that is completely OUT. It is currently "S" shaped, and the pelvis is tilted forward. I am in excruciating pain however, I sucked it up as best I could, and went on my little away time.

The lady of my life had a good time. She went to the spa, we went into the pool and hot tub.....ok I mostly went into the hot tub to ease the insane back pain. It helped.

Anyone coming into Vancouver really needs to stay at the RiverRock Resort and Casino. It is very nice. We had some GREAT food, and the rooms are quite nice.

Did I mention my back is out? The pain can be blinding really. By blinding, I mean, make you cry, white light, Jesus take me now kind of pain. I have been down the road of back pain before. It isnt fun, all you can do is wait. I would post a pic of what I look like, but with the "S" shape, and the tilt, it makes me look REALLY fat, and it is rather unflattering. I have actually felt my self esteem go down several points in the last few days.

So...I didn't even gamble. I really wanted to hit the craps table, if only briefy. It was packed. So I didnt gamble.

I have a new Bloggirlfriend. I tell you, I don't know much about her personally, but even my First Lady likes my Bloggirlfriend. She is the best! I think my self esteem points were just recovered!

I am off to try to play some poker with the boys tonight. I am all hopped up on Robaxacet and soon I will add some Guinness to that. It should make for a nice time. Wish me luck. I will need it being wasted on Back pills and beer!

ooooh last thing....you see those ads? The ones from McDonalds? Bastards....I HAVE to go get a couple of double cheeseburgers now. WHY DO THEY TAUNT ME!!!!!

Secrets

2006-02-21T18:12:00.000-08:00

I love them, when I have them. I hate them when someone else has them.

So the significant other in my life will be asked to pack a bag for one night. She is to include a bathing suit as well in her overnight bag. She is to be prepared for 1 night away from the home.

She will at the end of it all enjoy herself, and we will have a wonderful time. I think sometimes it is important to spend a little quality time away, if in fact you aren't really "away".

She will read this tomorrow, and then begin to ask questions about where we are going, and what we are doing.

I AM NOT TELLING YOU! DONT ASK! JUST PACK THE DAMN BAG!

Oh...take it with you to work on Thursday, or take thursday off as well if. It's up to you.

For the rest of you, I will let you know the fun we had when we return. Don't worry it will be g-rated fun. She has me, so she doesn't put out anymore.

TD wants to contact me by phone to discuss my issue. Psssh....pacify me they think?

Rogers blew me off, and not in the sexy way either. Hence why I hate them.

Canada won, but I won't get my hopes up. Seattle dashed my hopes already this year. I am pretty sure the Canadians will too.

Being Tuesday, I think maybe I should go to Boston Pizza for Pasta Tuesdays.

What do you think?

Some bloggers rawk. Yeah you. You know who you are ;) AHEM!

I already ranted....

2006-02-20T19:42:00.000-08:00

So who really needs a blog? I learned today, that I don't NEED a blog to rant. I ranted right at the cause of my rant.

I ranted at TD Canadatrust for their 1-800 girl offering her critique of my investment strategy. I really don't need someone who does not have their IFIC or CFP designation or anything of consequence to tell me how to invest.

I ranted at Rogers for having their employees show up at my door at 9pm, and then have the gaul to prevent me from closing my door on them. I think they should be made aware, that if someone is believing that the Rogers guy is trying to make a forced entry, that reasonable force is allowed to be used to defend that property. Since there were two people at the door, and it was dark, and they were at my house....I do believe lethal force would have been acceptable, provided I could meet the merits of the use of force contiuum.

I have a bit of a headache today. Not nearly as bad as the Blogstalk Chick.

Now on a Olympic hockey note. Canada won gold. I couldn't help but notice that the American women were a damn fine looking hockey team. Spectacular really......

Please Stephen Harper. Please call a byelection in Emersons riding so we can watch the embarassment begin early. I am going to LOVE watching you squirm.

I know that there are only a few of you reading this. So I will allow you to interject your thoughts on what you want me to post. I am open to lots of things. Actually, I am simply open. Be careful what you ask, or you just may find out.

Oh. I am starting a business soon. Once it is up and running, I will unabashedly promote it here. I apologize now, but a man has to do what a man has to do.

Lastly....I bet on the Czech Republic to beat our men tomorrow. Sorry. I feel bad, but the Canadians just don't seem to recognize the fact that the net is in the middle of the ice, and staying on the boards is a really silly place to be all the time.

Bird flu is coming. IT is going to kill 142 million people. I think it a good time to invest in the funeral homes. Yes it is disturbing, and somewhat evil, but one hell of a money making machine.

Ciao my babies!

Happy Hallmark Holiday!

2006-02-14T20:03:00.000-08:00

Today is brought to you by Hallmark Greeting Cards, and the makers of other fine ceramic doodlydads.

I shall peer deep inside myself, and allow those that wish to peek at what lay beneath do so simultaneously.....ok maybe not simultaneously, as you cant read what I am typing, but via the blog and on the same general day or week or month, it is a virtual simultaneous moment. With leeway for breaks and such.

Today my head was spinning a million miles an hour, no cohesive thoughts, just many little snippets of this that and the other thing. Everything moving in unison, yet in no particular order. I could not make rhyme or reason of the thoughts or lack thereof in my head. My day went by fast and furious. I have no idea if this was a good day, a bad day, or one of indifference. I lacked the self awareness to even comprehend my surroundings. It was an odd day.

Sometimes I wonder if we are at all even here, and by here, I don't know what I mean. It is the whole silly thought that perhaps we are dreaming, and it is so real, yet not at all. Who is to say that I am not about to wake up and be in grade 6 getting ready to go to Mr. McCafferty's class again. Who is to say that I am not going to wake up beside my first wife, and think WOW maybe she isn't cheating on me and it is all a dream. (God I hope that isnt the case, I kind of like not being with her!) Perhaps I will wake up and be 75 with grandchildren nestled in my lap and I have the remote control for the tv under me. Who knows, but when you have a day like today, it makes you wonder if it was real at all.

I have created a time machine. Well...not created it physically, but created it within my mind. It has become apparent to me, contrary to the science world, that it is much easier to go back in time, then it is to go forward. Too many variables going forward, the past is what it is.....they disagree. Go figure. I have a graph drawn up....it shows it all. Why doesn't it make sense to others?

I think my government job might be giving me too much time to think.

I am going to question the universe tomorrow. Make it answer some tough questions. If she gives me any lip, I am gonna smack her back to the big bang, and tell her who is boss.

Talk to you later!

Insert extreme profanity here!

2006-02-13T10:29:00.000-08:00

Nothing like having a weekend ruined by two complete frigging morons.

I had to wait around my house all day Saturday, missing out on my best friend's spouses b-day because I was supposed to have dinner guests that night. Dinner guests that had been invited for quite some time, so I could not change my plans and go to this b-day function. So all day Saturday there was cooking, and cleaning, and tidying, and making the place pretty, and we called them a few times during the day, with no response, but clearly, you dont just not show up when you know you are supposed to be somewhere for dinner. Anyhow, messages were left, and we awaited....and then we waited....and then we waited some more. Ooooh guess what, nobody shows up. So I luckily had increased the food capacity minimally and invited over my sister and her boyfriend, in the OFF CHANCE they completely jammed on us, at least the evening would be a total loss. . Luckily my sister at least showed up with her b/f and we ate the meal.

Is it wrong for me to be pissed about this incident? I mean sure, perhaps they had better things to do, I know I sure did. However at least I had the deceny to make a meal, can you imagine if I just change my mind went to the b-day thing, and they had showed up? Not nice at all.

Anyhow I am pissed, so being pissed, I am going to talk about Stephen Harper....

Stephen Harper is a two faced maniacal fool. Don't get me wrong, it isnt that I am against the Conservatives entirely, as I could be swayed to vote for them if Peter McKay was the leader, it is just that Stephen Harper is the embodiment of ignorance. He still believes that most Canadians wish to oppress minorities. He somehow has found a group of people to hang out with, that feels it is ok to judge Gays, people of color, and those that dont share his beliefs.

Last time I checked, if you count out the groups he is alienating, we are the majority. It is sad to say but there are a few people who think it is acceptable to discriminate against gays because they are not gay themselves. It is funnier to know that half of those people are women. Women who were once discriminated against. It again comes back to the fact that people are so ignorant as to assume that discrimination is fair as long as it isn't them. When we discriminate against our minorities, we discriminate against our society as a whole. We step backwards into a social quagmire that I certainly don't want to be a part of. Stephen Harper has no heart. Look at the man. Did you see the great photo-op when he took his kids to school the day after winning a minority govt? He shook his kids hands! Can you believe that? That is the man leading our country. His pre-adolescent children get dropped off at school with a cold handshake.

Stephen Harper has no agenda for Canada, he only preached a message of change from the Liberal way of thinking. In his first day of office, Harper bribed a member to cross the floor. Isn't this what he screamed about for days on end when Belinda Stronnock left his party? Double Standard. Then he appoints an unelected member into his caucus, appoints him to the senate, and tells everyone to stuff it. First off, he preached ELECTORAL SENATE. First appointment to the senate is day 1. LIAR. Secondly, it is insane that someone handling a Ministerial position is not in the house to answer questions. He will be free from the other political parties questioning and will answer to nobody. Another nice shot for democracy, and accountability. Stephen Harper preached accountability and ethics. Now he has proven he has none. Would someone please stand up, and show Mr.Harper the door, so that Peter McKay can lead this party. Someone with a shred of decency, and some form of leadership needs to be in command. It is just a rant of mine sure, and those that believe in Conservatism and all its hatred can go on and hate me as well, but when you become the minority that is being singled out, please go fuck yourself, because I told you it was going to happen.

End Comm.

Bloggurgitation

2006-02-10T09:12:00.000-08:00

Oh Jebus....it is happening again, I feel as though I need to puke on my blog....so here comes some more off the wall shit in no particular order, with all spelling and grammatical errors left as they are, because I am going to type this fast, and hope I dont miss a thing.......

Stepehen Harper you are a two faced backstabbing no good piece of shit that just proved you are as ethical as you are human. Please note that Stephen looks, and acts a hell of a lot like a ro bot, so that is sarcasm, please do not explain to me that he is human, it will just devalue my rant.

I am getting old, I actually turned off my satellite radio in outrage the other day. Some dumb bitch was going on about the godhatesgays.com webpage, and it infuriated me. For someone to hide behind the veil of religion and to spew such hate makes me wonder why my all powerful supreme being doesnt just make mincemeat of her in some sort of freakish electrical storm.

Opie and Anthony.....you make me giggle. I am going to spread the virus, and I suggest you make me rich while I do it. Ron and Fez....you guys are pretty damn funny yourselves....

The Olympics start today....I know, I dont care either, I just saw something about them on the tv today. Wake me up if Canada is in the gold medal hockey game. Aside from that, maybe I will watch the aerials or something.

Why is it so hard for the religious right of the world to admit they are wrong. Why is it so hard for them to look past their "faith" and examine the basis of that faith? Why don't they ever open their mind the other possibilities, and expand their relationship with god? Why would an all knowing, all powerful being want to be surrounded by those that simply follow blindly? Would that being not prefer someone who believes but is kicking and screaming the whole way, questioning every detail to its minutia in an effort to fully understand? Oh wait, I know....it is all about getting your money, not actually spreading the word of your higher being. My bad.

Catholics suck. I know that is a gross blanket statement, but to refuse to acknowledge that condoms save lives, and that birth control is a NECESSITY, makes me angry. You will protect your pedophilic little bastard priests, but you wont protect the women of your faith. Think what you want, but God is not happy with you Mr. Pope. My God wants you to love and protect all, not just those people you deem worthy.

Holy cripes! What is with the Muslims now? Sure, I would be outraged too, but at some point you just have to realize that ignorance is not an acceptable reason for killing. They may have insulted your prophet, or simply just yourself, but you just killed, and burned, and destroyed a piece of society. There is not a religion in the world that condones murder and destruction, in any name.

Why can we not just all get along? I think my new church is the answer....The 7th Day Adventurists. We are gonna go bungee jumping, and skydiving on sundays. That should get us closer to god, and at times, we may even get to meet the big guy if we make an error.

Love is not the answer, hate is not the solution. War only creates more war, and the distances that are between us are only as small as the unspoken thoughts in our minds. IF we were to get passed the preconceived notions of what we believe, and instead ask the questions to ensure that we have the knowledge, we would all be living in a better world.

Oh, I know, fuck you. Yeah...FUCK YOU. I am so sick of the ignorant people in this world. So I say FUCK YOU! Sometimes you just cant find the love for everyone, and those are the ones that maybe should perish. Sure, it is a double standard, but since I am the one who is trying to set the standard I make the rules dammit.

I am going to the boat show now. I won't buy a boat, but I will dream about it. Sometimes it is fun to have a date with your dad, even if you are 32.

Its cold, I dont like chocolate as much as I used to, occasional oral sex would be nice, I like salad, the canucks piss me off, I think everyone should own a sattelite radio, I hope this new business takes off, I hate my job, I dont sleep anymore, I am pretty sure that someone is conspiring against me, I think we are closer to a nuclear incident then most want to accept, I want to go back to vegas, I love texas holdem, babies are fucking scary, I have started to swear again, I have less patience then before, I want the Nissan Versa, mmmmmmm bacon, I just want to nap, why dont people understand that uranium is the next big stock play, ok maybe ethanol, but one of them guys, I love stocks, sometimes I think I just need to get drunk for fun for old times sake, I would like new golf clubs, Have you ever been walking down a street, and thought how different your life will be if you turn left instead of going straight, and if you ended up turning left to find out, do you wonder what would have happened if you went straight? What if it is all pre-determined, and it is all inconsequential? What a waste when we find out we are nothing in the grand scheme of things. We are but a dot within a cosmos that we do not even comprehend. The vastness of the space that surrounds us we cannot even wrap our little heads around. We still think Africa is far away, when there are planets and stars that are so far away we cannot reach them in a single life time.....bah....once day we die, and it goes black, or we have infinite knowledge. I guess either way, you have the infinite knowledge....it was all for this, or all for nothing.

I am issuing a strong buy on YHOO right now.

Bye.

I watched the game.....Refs ruined what could have been a great game. I think it could have been a lot more exciting had the refs not wanted to see themselves get a little extra airtime.

Anyhow enough of that.

I have to work tomorrow....now most of you work Mondays, but I don't normally. I have to go in because my boss put me "in charge". That means shit all actually. It simply means that if anything is to go wrong, I have to put out the fire. Nothing ever does go wrong, except for the last few days I have been in charge. Fire after fire, and I have to put it out. I should note that an actual fire also happened, but someone else put that out. Fire department came and everything, but that is a different story. Anyhow, I am busting my ass and I realized that I am not going to get paid any more money for the job I am doing right now, and I am not going to get any of the recognition I deserve for putting out those fires. Instead I will get a....a....shit, I wont even get a thank you. I guess I should be happy I have a job. Oh well, I will take off this Friday instead probably, and since I normally have Mondays off, I will now have a 4 day weekend. Maybe one of those days I can sleep, or maybe I will go do something that makes me remember who I am. It has been a long time since I went hiking, or fishing, or just for a walk on the beach. Some of those things that make me who I am. Sure I go golfing and stuff now, but I haven't taken any quality grounding, me/alone time. Sometimes it is just nice to sit and be.

Oh well. When Kris comes, and I am sure he will, he can go fuck himself too. Blogstalking is so sad, and demented.

I feel better now.

If you're happy and you know it touch your happy place!

Why is it that I can pick stocks for the rest of you, yet I cannot make millions for myself? Perhaps you who invest via my input could donate some of your money to me? I'm just a poor boy, I need some sympathy, it certainly isnt easy come or easy go.........

Anyways, I don't blog enough. I should blog more, I have a plethora of crap to say, I just don't know that this is the proper venue.

I am currently looking into going into biz for myself. Not sure if I can handle the pressures of biz for self, marriage, and new kid all in one shot, so maybe I should just keep my government job, and be happy with that.....There isnt anything wrong with it, I just have a good idea, that I think can go somewhere. If you have an excess of money, and want a brain in your biz, I have a few ideas you can pay me for. They could make you rich, I just ask for shares or ownership privelages that entitle me to be well off, while you become a mega millionaire. Sounds fair doesnt it?

Once I sell this idea, I will work on how to download virtual sex acts from the internet. I am thinking that if you can be the first to figure out how to get people to download virtual blowjobs, you might be the richest man in the world.....Agree with the morality or not, you would be rich..

I am tired and sleepy. I think I will be for quite sometime. I don't much care for it. I need a weekend away, someone take me away....Calgon....are you listening?

Light and Airy?

2006-01-31T06:54:00.000-08:00

Just like my waffles, I am going to make this post light and airy.

So, I just finished the major renovations on the townhouse. I have a new island, bar, and some miscellaneous cabinetry beside the fireplace. It doesnt look too bad if I do say so myself. I could have done a better job. I did spend almost 9 years making cabinets, so I do know what I am talking about. I decided though, that when the government offers you a job, you should take it. It beats actually working at a job where you have to sweat everyday.

I am not feeling well today, so I am going to stay home from work on a sick day, and rest up. I am sure once I wake up, I will find something to post about, and can make the world a better place. Perhaps what I could do is start blogging about some previous sexual experiences to boost my readership. Right now, I believe I am at about 5 people. Maybe I can boost that back up to 10.

Mind you, maybe I just need to be a little more interesting. My political ramblings tend to not turn the ladies on anymore. The guys go wild for it....just not the ladies...

Tony Chestnut Know I Love You!

It is officially over....

2006-01-23T21:03:00.000-08:00

So it would appear.....That which I despise is now my keeper.

Yes, I work for the government...Yes...I am a bureacrat. Yes I am to work as hard for the government of the day as I did for yesterdays government, however there is one catch. The government of today does not value me nor the work I do. So now you who voted for the Conservatives will see the slow and systematic decline of all that we hold dear. This is the begining of the loss of all the freedoms we hold dear. This is the beginning of the end. This is where we will now no longer be governed by men and woman, and the values they hold, but instead we will be governed by the men and woman and their perverse interpretation of the bible of the United States of America.

Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For evil has been delivered in a blue and white package. It masks itself as the champion of the people, but what it truly is, is the harbinger of our own demise. Today I loved my country, and all it held dear. Tomorrow, I no longer know her.

This is a historic day. We have stepped back from being Canadian, and have stepped toward being assimilated into another of the U.S. Collective. We will now be able to enjoy the freedoms that are dictated by the state to enjoy.

I mourn for her. She was my sweet country. I mourn for her.

Friday Stock picks (late)

2006-01-15T16:39:00.000-08:00

You will notice that I did ok on my last few picks....

Today I leave you with a few little ones.

HAO.v it is a oil company in Alberta, taking part in the oilsands projects. I got in at .47 and out at 55 in under 6 minutes. It was a nice 500 bucks.

That s all for Stock Pick Fridays. Even though it was late. Thank you, and Goodnight.

Hi. MY name is...what?

2006-01-11T20:40:00.000-08:00

Interesting title that one. You can read it so many ways. It will mean a few different things to a few different people...which brings me to the point of this post. I don't know if anyone other then the 3 of you read this blog. I hope there are a bunch of people that do stop in to see me rant, because right now I need an opinion from someone that doesnt know me. Someone that does not feel as though they have to not TROUNCE on my feeling. YEs Feeling. I only have one left, so trounce away. Just read this....tell me what you think. Honestly. It is rough, and I know that, but I dont know if it has potential to be something that I want it to be, or if writing a kids book is going to go nowhere for me. I just would like to know...I know it is long, and I apologize, I dont know if I want several smaller books, or one long book. I dont know alot to be honest....just ridicule away.

Ascot
It was a clear spring morning on Maple Lake. The air was warm, the wind was calm and all was quiet. However all of that was about to change. You see, springtime on Maple Lake means one thing and one thing only….Hatching Season! Every year ducks come from all around to make their nests by the waters of Maple Lake. The lake is full of underwater weeds for ducks to munch on all summer long, and it has tall reeds to hide the nests away from anyone who shouldn’t find them. This year was no exception. Maple Lake was probably the best lake a duck could find to make a nest, and that's why Emma was going to be there.

Emma was the first to arrive at the lake. She wanted to have the perfect spot for her new nest, so she spent days walking in and out of the reeds and swimming back and forth across the lake until she found the perfect spot. Finally she found it. Nestled in amongst the reeds she found a small island, the perfect size for a ducks nest. Emma started the hard work now. She had to find the right pieces of reed to make her nest, she searched over every inch of the lake again and collected the finest pieces of nest making reed any duck has ever seen. She carefully placed each piece in place, one by one, until she had made to strongest, safest, and most beautiful nest anyone had ever seen. Emma still wanted something more. Something all the other ducks never thought of. Something to keep her baby warm when she wasn't there. So again Emma started her search. She looked all around the lake, and she found some pinecones….but they aren't warm. She searched a little further away from the lake and she found some berries….they were tasty, but they wouldn't keep any duck warm, she thought to herself. She walked further away from the lake and came upon a forest. Ducks don't normally go into the forest, but she had to find something warm for her baby that would be coming. She carefully continued on into the forest, and she heard a noise. "Ahem", said a small voice. Emma looked up and saw a black squirrel with an looking down at her.. "What is a duck doing in the forest?", asked the squirrel. Emma replied," I am sorry Mr. Squirrel, I was just looking for something warm for my nest." The squirrel smiled, "The name is Jim, and I might have something that would interest you than. Just wait here and I will go get it." With that the squirrel hurried off into his den and you could hear him rustling about. Finally Jim popped out of his den, and with him was a piece of a scarf that a child had lost during the cold winter in the forest. "Would you like this?" asked Jim. "That’s perfect!" said Emma, as happy as could be. "But I don’t have anything for you" said a sad Emma. The squirrel began thinking. He scratched his head with his little hand, and flicked his tail back and forth. Than he said, " I have an idea, how about I give you this scarf now and later on you can do me a favor?"
It didn’t take Emma long to agree to that deal, she would be more than happy to help out her new friend. Emma gratefully took the warm scarf. "Thank you Jim, and by the way, my name is Emma "she said. The two new friends talked for awhile, until it was starting to get dark, and time for Emma to get back to her new home. They said their good-bye’s and Emma started walking back home thinking about her new friend and her new scarf for her nest. When Emma got back to her nest, she placed the scarf inside and settled in on top of it, ready for a good nights sleep. She was happy to have something warm for her new baby.

The next morning, Emma got up and started to tear the scarf into smaller pieces to line her nest with. The scarf was very pretty, it was green, and red, and looked something like a checkerboard. The best part though, was how soft and warm the scarf was. It was as soft as air and as warm as a hug from your Mom. Her new baby would be very happy. As Emma busily worked on her nest, ducks started coming in from all over. Some were friends she hadn't seen since last spring and others were brand new. It was an exciting and busy time at the lake. Emma finally finished making her nest. It was going to be so warm. She was very proud of her new nest.
As the day wore on and more and more ducks arrived, Emma swam out on the lake to greet her old friends. All the ducks talked and talked until one of Emmas' friends said, "I think it is time we started making our nests!" Emma smiled proudly and said, " I flew in early and I am already done." All the other ducks started to giggle. "You couldn't possibly be done, it is your first nest, and you don't know what you are doing." they said. Emma was mad. She took all of her friends to her nest and showed them what a wonderful job she had done. She showed them how she had picked the best reeds, and how she got a scarf to make it warm. The other ducks started to make fun of her scarf. "She doesn't know to use feathers to make it warm!" they laughed. "That’s the funniest nest I have ever seen." they said as they all swam away.
Emma was sad, she thought her friends would be happy for her. She thought she had the best nest any duck had ever made. Emma walked up her little island, and stepped into her nest. Emma tried to sleep, but couldn't. All she kept thinking about was how mean her friends were to her and how maybe her nest wasn't the best after all. She just wanted her new baby to be warm and safe, like any good mom would. Finally, Emma fell asleep, she was still sad that her friends were mean, but she decided she did have the best nest after all. No matter what her friends might say.

The next morning Emma awoke, and in her nest was an egg. It was her first egg. She was so happy she got out on the lake and started to sing a happy little song. "Quack quack quack!" she sang. Once again the other ducks started to laugh at her. Some of them had eggs, but they weren't being silly, they thought. This time Emma didn’t care that they were making fun of her. She had her new egg and a warm nest and that was all that mattered. She swam back to her nest and sat on her egg to keep it extra warm and watched the other ducks play in the water. While she was happily sitting on her egg she heard a familiar voice call her. "Emma! Emma! Are you out there?" it said. Emma called back, " I am right over here Jim. What can I do for you?" Jim was very excited, he was pacing back and forth across the shoreline telling Emma all about the fact he was about to be a new Dad. Emma was very happy for Jim. She told him that she had her first ever egg, and how great a job the scarf was doing in keeping it warm. Jim was glad to hear about that. "Maybe our babies can be friends, just like we are." Said Jim. Emma was very excited at that idea. "How come you aren't out with the other ducks?" asked Jim. Emma told Jim how mean all the other ducks were to her. "Don’t you worry about them, I think the scarf is an excellent idea. I bet they all wished they had one!" said Jim. Emma was glad her new friend liked her idea. "Well I couldn't have done it without you Jim." Emma said. Emma and Jim continued to talk until it was time for Jim to go get more nuts for his growing family. "See you later Emma!" Jim called as he darted off into the forest. Emma laughed, "Good Bye!" she yelled as she watched his fuzzy black tail disappear into darkness.

The next few days were very hectic for Emma, she was busy preparing for her ducklings arrival. She had to think of a name for the baby, she had to find all the safest spots on the lake so nothing could hurt her baby, and she had to find all the best spots for feeding her baby. Emma accomplished all but one. She still had not come up with a name for her little duckling. Jim suggested Donald or Daisy, but Emma thought those were silly names. Emma finally decided that maybe it would be best to see her duckling first, that way she could pick a name that would suit her baby perfectly. Emma returned to her nest to sit and wait for her egg to hatch. She wanted so badly to know whether it was going to be a boy or a girl. She sat patiently, and she sat, and she sat. Then she felt something. Something started to move. She stood up and looked at the egg, but the egg was still sitting there not doing anything out of the ordinary. Emma sat back down. A minute or so passed and something moved again. Emma sprang to her feet and watched the egg very closely, and this time she saw it! It wobbled, ever so slightly. Emma was as excited as she had ever been, she was watching her duckling come out of its shell.
Emma stood over the egg for what seemed like days, but was only several minutes. The egg formed a small crack along its side, and as the egg moved the crack got longer. The crack turned into a small hole, and the small hole turned into a bigger hole. Finally, the tip of a beak broke through the egg shell, and then a head, an finally the egg broke open to reveal the most beautiful duckling the world has ever seen. The duckling stumbled around the nest, getting familiar with his new surroundings. Emma stood by in amazement as she watched her new baby boy discover his new world. The duckling began walking towards his mother, but fell over. When he got up, a piece of the scarf was gently wrapped around his neck. At that moment, Emma knew what the new ducklings name would be. It would be Ascot.

XM Radio

2006-01-09T13:35:00.000-08:00

What a fun little item. Opie & Anthony truly have a way with words. I giggle constantly at their foolishness, and vulgarity.

XM radio....why don't they allow me a channel to vent my views on sports, politics, religion, and the like. I could entertain, and infuriate, and create such a great time....someone get me a job there would you!

Anyhow, Giants suck! Manning you are a bum!

LETS GO HAWKS! I hope Holmgren has a clue this year.

Dungy deserves some good in his life this year. I kind of hope he wins. Maybe Seattle and Indy could somehow tie??

I got my new TV. It is sooooo pretty.

Sure, I have nothing of importance to say today, but felt I should say something at least. I could take yet another swipe at that moron Nina Grewal, but that seems pointless. Anyone who votes for her, is not going to be swayed from their stupidity.

Hi, I am your future of politics. Save this blog, you will be able to use it against me in the next elections...

New Weekly Segment

2006-01-06T21:28:00.000-08:00

I am going to start a new Friday segment...it is called, MAKE MONEY FRIDAYS!

I am going to give you my 5 hot stock tips of the week.

This week it is my personal favorites. The stocks can be viewed at http://quote.yahoo.com via their ticker symbols.

TD - Toronto Dominion Bank (Good upside right now, looking at least a 5-10% gain over the short term. Enron fallout could affect price.)

TAH.to - Tahera Diamond Corporation ( I have owned this stock from 37 cents. Speculative, however there is good reason to believe it has the potential to go much higher)

DYN - Dynegy (Power....everyone needs it. Once a Prince, now a Pauper. 5 seems like a good entry point to me!)

TASR - Taser International Inc (Excessive force lawsuits are cheaper then Accidental Death lawsuits. Police, Prisons, and Crowd Control....With only a small percentage having placed orders, the upside outweighs the litigation fears)

IFTC.ob - Infotec Business Systems (This is all over the map. I wouldnt play with it long term, but there are several opportunites for entry points, and exits on the uptick. Ballsy play. High risk, high reward.)

I currently own TD, TAH.to I am buying DYN on Monday. TASR I have made good money off of, however have no holdings, nor do I hold and IFTC.ob, I have merely watched it make gains of several hundred percent, fall all the way back down, and then make 20-30 percent gains.

I am by no means trained to give financial advice, these are just my opinions. Please forgive me if you loose money...I will be losing with you though.

So it was a New Year....and with things so busy it has been days and nights of eating out, eating garbage food, and just not eating healthy at all. You know how it is with all that chocolate lying around, all that left over pop in the fridge, all that bloody pie and other desserts left from Christmas and New Years.....Well I thought times had to change. I went to the store, bought a nice pork tenderloin, some carrots, onions, sweet brown rice, and was going to make a half decent dinner for one in a long while (I love to cook, and I am pretty good at it too!)

Anyhow....I cut up the carrots and onions, pan sear the tenderloin with the onions, some garlic, and some ginger, and I pre heat the oven to 400 degrees. Oh it started to smell good...I put the rice on, and was even thinking about baking some home made biscuits....but decided not too....

Tenderloin goes into the oven at 400 for 45 minutes, and the rice cooks...all is going well, I take out the tenderloin, cut it into nice sized medallions, put a small amount of teryiaki sauce on it, put some rice on the plate, which turned out damn near perfect, and went for the carrots and onions....grabbed the frying pan....OW OW OW OW OW OW OW! I forgot it was in the oven for 45 mins at 400 degrees....my whole right hand is burnt to a lovely second degree.

Needless to say, I didnt eat, I soaked my hand for hours and hours on end. It is now starting to crack and peel. It is so much fun.

So how was your first few days of the year?

I did just buy a brand new LCD tv, so hopefully that eases my pain.....

Ignorance IS Contagious!

2006-01-02T09:08:00.000-08:00

I have to laugh at the Conservative ads talking about the waste of money the Liberals have incurred over the Sponsorship Scandal.....

Just a thought Mr. Harper, but how much are you costing us with the early election we never wanted? It is always fun to watch the moronic public of Canada get upset over flashy statements, but never look deeper into what the big picture is.

Nina Grewal....I have to admit, you are staying fairly low profile in the riding. It is probably your best bet. Not saying anything is better. If you do come out, expect to asked the hard questions.

Green Party of Canada....please, for the love of god, please stop acting as though you are a party. You are a disent vote, not a vote of any consequence. Act as such, and align with one of the big three to make a difference.

To the rest of you....You are lemmings...most of you cannot muster up enough energy to actually think for yourself, so let me make this short and sweet. If you are voting for a party because your parents did, please dont vote at all. If you are voting for a party because you did last time, and haven't looked at the platforms, please dont vote at all. If you think it would be fun to vote for the marijuana party because it is cool, please dont vote at all.

Do you see where I am going with this? IF you havent done the research, please dont vote. A vote based on ignorance is not a vote, it is an abuse of the democratic system. If you want to express your vote based on your personal beliefs by all means vote, and vote intelligently. It would be nice to have a government voted in by intelligent thought rather then fooish reaction to things you dont understand.

I personally cant wait for the Saddam Hussein in a Liberal campaign to begin. The negative campaign is going to be too American for me to handle....

Wowsers!

Christmas Past

2005-12-20T20:14:00.000-08:00

So way back in my youth, dare I say, "Formative Years", money was tight. Christmas was fast approaching and the RallyClan of 5 were living in a 2 bedroom apartment that was as much a home as anyone could have asked for. I never really knew we were "poor". My Dad had a knack of never letting on that we were broke, just that money was tight and not to be wasted. I was never hungry. We may have had pancakes for dinner more often then most families, but I always thought of it as a treat. Looking back, I wonder if my parents ever went without. I don't know the answer to that question, and I don't know they would ever tell me the truth if they had. My Dad is a proud man. Maybe a little stubborn, but a very proud man. Anyhow....back to where I was going with this post......

It was Christmas Eve. I was probably 11, I don't know for sure. My Dad was the only one working, and this was a Christmas that was going to be bad. (Bad as far as a kid can perceive, Santa wasnt going to be bringing much of anything this year) I learned a few days after Christmas what had happened that night....It was a night that brings me back to KNOWING there is a Santa.

It was late Christmas Eve, and my Dad was sitting up watching TV, all us little kids were in bed, and my mom was dawdling about the apartment. My Dad heard something outside our patio, and saw a guy hiding in the bushes right infront of our place! (One should know, that my father was a rather tough S.O.B so this is not going to go well for this guy) Not one to avoid conflict, my Dad goes out on the patio and says something Christmasy like "Who the fuck is there!?". To which he gets a reply of...."Just go back inside.........please". My Dad recognized the voice, but couldnt immediately place it, and kept on asking who was there. The guy in the bush was pleading with my father to go back inside, and just pretend he heard nothing. This is really not ever going to happen. My Dad is not the type to just let a strange man stand in the bushes outside his patio on Christmas Eve, and let it go. So he presses on, and out from the bushes come my Aunts current boyfriend. He was a good man. He was a stockbroker, and made good money on the Vancouver Stock Exchange. He had taken us out to the PNE and Sesame Street on Ice, and all those things I would never have gotten to do. (Again, these are things I never really wanted to do, or even knew I was missing out on, or would have missed out on. My Dad always made sure I was in soccer, baseball, and anything else I wanted to be in so I thought I was normal) So there is this guy, on Christmas, in the bushes, in Surrey, late at night, and what does he have, but a "sleigh" full of gifts. Sure, it was a black toboggan, the really cool ones with the brakes and everything....but for the sake of the story it is a sleigh. There were toys for all of the three kids in there, and there was some stuff for my parents as well. This guy, was, and is Santa. He wouldn't come in without being prodded by my father. He wanted nothing in return. He just wanted to make my Christmas a little better then what it was going to be. I wish in a way, I was older that Christmas. Old enough to understand what that was really all about. I wish I could have gotten the chance to thank him. (He was later murdered in a bizarre situation involving corruption in the VSE) I don't know if I would have even noticed that Christmas was bad that year had he not arrived, and I guess I never will. I hope I never have to sit there Christmas Eve like my father did knowing that he couldn't do anything or as much as he wanted for his kids at Christmas. That is the scariest part for me about being a parent. I never want my child to go without. I do see though, that a good parent can make you not realize you are going without, and I love my Dad for that. One day I will tell him. It all came together for me a few months later. It became a little more clear the day we came home from school and summer holidays had started, and my dad told us all to get in the car. He took out his VISA, packed up the car, and we drove to Disneyland. We had the best time of our lives for those two weeks. It took him years to pay that trip off I bet, but he did it for us. Thats my Dad...He is a great guy. I hope I can be half the man he is.

So there you are....just a little button of a thing. I am told you have a face, and that your foot is as long as your femur(which is a good thing). I don't know if you are my little man, or my tiny princess, yet somehow I already know you. I could see you hiding...playing....maybe just being annoyed. I could already see you had your own little personality. You are shy, and quiet....or you are a already a mischievous little bugger. Welcome to the world.

God help us all. The ignorant voters of Surrey-Fleetwood are likely going to vote this opportunist in. It is truly amazing the ignorance of the Canadian voter. There are very few people who actually look through the rhetoric, and the flashy media blitz, and actually look at who can lead the country, and lead the country down the path that we want. Nina Grewal, has already attempted to improve her position within our political arena, by trading votes for political appointments. Personally, I expect this behind closed doors, but to be so ignorant as to have your husband record the conversation, and attempt to use it as leverage when things go bad, is just moronic. Two juvenile individuals thinking they are Inspector Gadget with their recording devices. Bravo Morons.

Upon indepth review of the parties my conclusions are drawn. My vote remains undecided at this time though. Clearly, the past of the Conservative party is going to haunt them. Until such time as Peter McKay takes the reigns, I just don't see me ever going there. Stephen Harper cannot control his party, he allows his party to stray to far to the right, and has no leadership skills. Canada is a centre nation. We like the centre of the political spectrum. It is comfortable, and reliable to us. Once the Conservatives figure this out under Peter McKay, the become viable. The NDP are too far left. While a majority of Canadians have left leaning sympathies, we maintain the fact that we just don't trust them. We feel good when they make small gains, and we like to keep a few of them around, but again, they have a spotty leader, and he isn't going to be able to carry them. I respect the fact he realizes this though. He merely wants to be in control of parliament with 30 odd seats. At least he is realistic. Liberals...my how you manage to ruin a good thing. Paul Martin is the only federalist LEADER we have. He is a charismatic man, who has the ability to make us feel good. While his party has made some mistakes, they remain close to centre, they will align with the NDP when needed, and they will not allow Quebec to seperate. Seems like an almost winning strategy. Gilles Duceppe, I would vote for BQ if they weren't seperatist, and they ran members over here. He is the only other born leader out of the group.
The Canadian public are not the most savvy in the elections department. We vote for names, and we vote as our parents voted. We go into an election with our minds set. Those that go in without a vote in mind, tend to get caught up in the rhetoric, and not pay attention to facts, or the big picture.

While the Liberals have their scandals, ALL PARTIES will have their scandals. Look past the scandal, and review OUR LIVES on a whole. We live in one of the greatest nations in the world. We have one of the strongest economies in the world. We are respected, and well received in all nations around the world. The word Canada means something around the world. It is something we can be proud of. The problem lies in the general public wanting to change the direction of our country just because the Liberals have been there for years. Why gamble on full scale change when everything is working right now? The devil you know.....

Perpetual Motion

2005-12-16T19:49:00.000-08:00

My brain is spinning, almost out of control. I thought that after the wedding, everything would slow down, but it really seems to have simply sped up.

I have not been sleeping well, I have had some rather intense dreams about sex, and pinning you up against the wall, and taking you hard and fast, not rough, but passionately. Yet that never seems to come about. Probably a direct result of my inaction, but I don't think you are really interested anyhow. I have started to bust my ass at work again. I will do this for awhile, until it dawns on me that all the hard work is for nothing, and that nobody is going to notice if I actually do achieve the goals I have set. The joys of working in a union shop I guess. There is still so much to do. So much that never seems to get done. I don't know if it is a classic manifestation of my perpetual lack of motivation, or if I simply have too much on my proverbial plate. I could make a list. I wouldn't tackle it though. Really no point.

So, I have been trying to find a way to hit the homerun. The fast and easy way to financial freedom, it seems that while there is some remote possibilty that it could occur, the risk far outweighs the reward. Perhaps hardwork is the only way to go.

It would be great to harness the power of this perpetual motion machine inside my head. I haven't really been able to wrap my hands around everything, and put it down in the blog. There is so much in there. There is my shit, political shit, global shit....that's a lot of shit! I have also started worrying too much about other people. I can feel myself getting pulled in to peoples problems again, and wanting to fix them. While I CRAVE baggage, I need to stop taking it on. It is not my burden to carry....I am also noticing that I just can't seem to watch shows or commercials or anything with small children in it. I am not even a Dad yet, and I am getting emotional over this stuff. This is very far from my character. It is almost as though I am becoming a woman.

Did I mention that I am getting fat....no seriously...tipped the scales at 222.5 yesterday. Fuck I need to get through the holidays below 230 and get my ass in gear. Thank god I will be getting some help with that from Santa.

I am gonna go now. Clearly this is not entertaining. I apologize. In the future I will try to be more entertaining. I may even become more entertaining tonight. Who knows.....

And so it goes....

Have you ever noticed one day bleeding into the next? Where there is no difinitve line of where one day starts and ends, where another begins. Sure. You can take the easy way out, and use the cycles of the sun, the moon, or your own sleep paterns, but how different was yesterday from today? How different will tomorrow be from today or yesterday? Funny thing the human pattern. We wake up, have a coffee, eat the same breakfast, get in our car, drive the same way to our same parking spot at work, we work our same job, and take lunch at the same time, with the same people. We get off work, get back into our car, that is still in the same parking space, drive the same route back home, make dinner, watch the tv show that we tivo'd or whatnot, get back into our same bed, sleep, and do the same thing over the next day. How meaningful our grocery shopping becomes, our pre-scheduled break from monotony. Or weekends. Our time to get caught up on the things we have neglected due to our all encompassing work schedule. Those rare days, when you break from the monotony, what do we do? We do nothing. We sit in our house, watch tv, and do nothing, and not once wonder what we are missing outside in the real world. It is far to easy to sit back and passively allow life to take you over. How I love those days where you take control, do something different. Take the routine, and throw it out the window. Imagine what could happen if we simply broke the routine, and tried something new. Even just babysteps. Take the first left from your home tomorrow on the way to work. IF you were supposed to go left, go right. Live on the edge, add an extra block to your journey. Who knows what you might see or find or avoid! If we were all to break the shackles of our mundane existances, and actually participate on a daily basis in our lives instead of just plodding through the next hour, just making it to coffee break, just finishing this last email.....oh what a wonderful world it would if we could just stop, and enjoy the sweet smells of life, the soft touch of someone else, or the sounds of city living.

Yeah....sure...most of you will defend your lifestyles....but just take a small look inside yourself, and you will find a schedule that needs to be discarded if only for a moment, an hour, or a day.

Catch up time.

Just a note prior to my post....Anyone is welcome to post a comment on my blog, however if you directly link to my significant others blog, I will delete your post, only to keep her blog free from the eyes of those that view mine. It is a matter of her privacy. I appreciate the comments though!

Where to start.

I am married now. Kid is on the way. Spending money on the townhouse. I have far too much crammed in my head for any of it to come out right now. So let me try to force some of it out in a jumbled mess.

Some prick was hitting on my frigging wife while she was wearing her wedding dress at OUR reception. I was nice. I didn't lose it and pound him. I waited for wifey to do that. I think she is far to nice in not pounding him. Oh well, I guess I have to wait for his next move before I can take this up a notch, and believe me, there will be another move.

I ate the cake....and when I say I ate the cake, I mean I put my face right into my cake, and I freaking ate that thing. It was my cake, my day, and so what the hell I ate it. Marty, that cake was awesome! If you need a cake tester, call me anytime.

I did a lot of hugging and stuff at the reception. I hoped I hugged all the important people. I really tried. If I missed you, I am sorry.

My wife looked spectacular. I mean unbelievable! I was moved. Unfortunately a fly flew in my mouth during the ceremony, and it was causing me to have trouble speaking (thats my story, and I am sticking to it).

My new mom-in-law is pretty great. She does too much. I think I will be able to one day say I love my mom-in-law, which is somethign for me. I tend to hate inlaws. My new in-laws are all pretty great actually. I am pretty lucky to finally have two families I like and care for.

Please do not EVER register at The Bay for anything. It is truly the worst thing you can ever do. They are horrible with customer service, and I will not rant about that today. Another time maybe.

Curt, you were awesome. You had nothing you needed to do, yet stepped up to the plate everytime. It was very much appreciated.

Kristy, sure, you were the maid of honor, and by definition had stuff to do, but you went above and beyond, and that certainly did not go unnoticed. Thank you!

Anyhow, there are a lot of people to thank, but let me just thank Jolene. I thought it was great when you dropped the C-bomb on my mother. Yes everyone she called my mother a cunt, and tried to say that it was because she liked her. My mom is a redneck, and I am surprised her trailer trash ass didnt kick the snot out of Jolene. Oh well, that was a great wedding story that was only narrowly averted.

I think it is important to note that all kidding aside, I married perhaps the most amazing woman on the planet. I love her with all my heart, and I am a very lucky man.

Sometimes perception is an interesting thing. How is it, that two people can stare at the exact same object and see two entirely different things.

It is my belief that we are predisposed to see what we want to see. Be it good or bad. Someone may look at a situation and see utter chaos and despair, while someone else may see calm cool collected thoughts being hatched out in an irrational situation. How do we become predisposed would be the real question. Is it nature or nuture? I think it may be both. I also think it may depend on chemical imbalances. Would we see the same thing if we viewed it sober or drunk. Probably not.

So how does one combat the problem of perception? Perception is our reality, yet our individual realities are based on perception, and in turn, not reality at all. So if there is truly no reality to a situation, how do we document history effectively? How do we protray the news honestly? In a world where communication is so important, why is it, that we never communicate effectively? We assume our perceptions are others, and thereby their reality is ours, but clearly it is not the case. So the next time we judge someone for something they have done or said, perhaps it is the perception of what has occured that needs to be discussed, not the reality of the situation.

Yay?

2005-11-17T09:11:00.000-08:00

Sometimes it is just fun to say as much as you can in as short time as possible.....

My sex drive is higher then yours. I think I am going to have to vote Liberal. I don't think the Canucks are going to win the Cup. I think that Bush is a pain in the ass, and that when he leaves office, the world will be a better place. I think that you should shut the hell up about Gays and Lesbians, they have enough to worry about aside from you and your ignorance. I think that beer tastes better as you get older. I think the voting public of North America is truly ignorant. I think Surrey could be a lot nicer place if people tried to get along instead of force their views on others. I think McDonalds is better then Burger King, but Wendy's probably wins over them both. I think people need to be more giving in the sack. I think that viagra would be fun to try. I am worried I am going to be broke before the next two years are up. I worry I won't be a great father. I don't think my dad knows how great he is, was and could be. I wonder if people know how much I really do love them. I think sometimes people dont listen to me, because I brush too much off. I think stress is making me sick right now, but that it will go away soon. I wonder how many people actually read this blog. I would like to make a difference in the world. I think I would be a great politician. Sometimes I care too much. Sometimes I don't care enough. Whats a guy gotta do to get a hummer 'nthis town? I worry that religion poisons the mind of children. I think I am smarter then you. I never know when to use then and than. Sometimes my cockiness gets me in trouble. I sometimes get annoyed when you dont listen to me. Most people are morons. Some people know they are morons, and I like them better. Abortion is your choice, and the religious right should get their hands off your fucking uterus. Rape is an offence punishable by castration. Children need to grow up in a home that nurtures, be it a couple, a single parent, or a same sex couple. Teachers should shut the fuck up about not getting paid enough. BC Liberals are no better at governing. Sometimes I think suicide isnt such a bad way out. I know that I am too much a chicken to ever do it if things were that bad. I am going to love my baby. I am scared my baby won't love me. I think sometimes birds taunt me. I wish my kitty would go away so I could have a puppy.

Ok so I said a lot and it took a lot of space. I will leave you with this.

If a grenade was thrown into a room that had Bush in it, would anyone jump on it, and take the hit for him? I wonder that.....and sure, go ahead and say the Secret Service would....they didn't do it in Chechnya. Bush....go away....and take Cheney with you. He scares me too.

Oooh I know....ADD is not real, bad parenting is.

Thats about it.

The awful predicaments of life....

Nurture the relationship you are in.

Simple statement, not so simply done. It is so easy to become selfish in a relationship. It is so easy to forget that there are two people in that relationship and that there is a give and a take to all things. Whilst I have not met her, I feel for her... www.alwaysarousedgirl.blogspot.com for who amongst us hasn't been in a relationship such as this. Who is not in one now. Yet for all her efforts, look where she is. Sure it is easy to say, she should do this, or she should do that, but if you were to look hard at your relationship are you truly giving all you could be?

We spend so much time in our lives living for retirement, our children, our careers, or whatever else, that we forget to live for today, for ourselves, for the spontaneous moment of who we truly are inside. When was the last time you loved with all you had, played like you were 5 or laughed so hard it hurt. That is what life is about. Those moments which are spaced out to far now by our own thoughtlessness. As we get older we live less and less. The monotony of tomorrow leaves us forgetting about today. Live for today, and tomorrow will be a brighter day. I only wish I knew how to do that, instead of just type this garbage. If you figure it out, please let me know.

Birthday Surprise

2005-11-07T17:33:00.000-08:00

So it is my b-day today, and what did Jack Layton give me? A big fat slap in the mouth.

What the hell is this moron doing? I am a fairly well entrenched NDP'er with Liberal leanings, however after Jack's little speech today about nothing at all, and his hinting that he may align with the Conservatives in a non-confidence motion, I am going to have to make it clear, that I will vote Liberal. I cannot tolerate a Conservative government in this country that will strip people of their basic human rights. If Jack Layton is so convinced we should be going to the polls, I truly hope he brings forward this non-confidence motion, along with his resignation. It is time to bring in a clightly more CHARISMATIC leader into the NDP, someone with conviction, and the appearance of being able to bring the fight to your doorstep. Otherwise, we are going to be left with yet another minority government led by the Liberals. God help us if the Conservative party ever figures out that Peter Mckay should be the actual leader of that party....they might actually win.

Oh yeah....I'm 32 today. So....sing Happy Birthday in your head to me now, and try to to smack me in the mouth like Layton just did.

I says Pardon!?

Better to not bother...

2005-11-03T08:55:00.000-08:00

I have come to terms with a few things lately. It is really better to just not bother. In general, I have tried to do those little things. Little almost imperceptable things that people generally feel good about having done for them, and you would expect that to get paid forward somehow. Be it back to yourself, or to others. However, it is apparent that most everyone is selfish. Perhaps I am too. Perhaps I am selfish in that I try to do things, in order to reap some sort of benefit. Well regardless, it is time to stop. It only ever leads to resentment, and just a general feeling of being unimportant to that grand scheme of things. Truly I guess this ties back into the whole notion of would anyone ever notice if you were gone. Sometimes I think it would take weeks to months for people to notice I was gone. Some people would notice sooner then others, because their dinner wasn't made, and a few would notice when their social calendars weren't being filled for them, but on the grand scheme of things, I think most people would simply find out later and shrug their shoulders saying,"Oh, really...thats too bad."

I wonder sometimes if this is the downward slide into depression, or if this is just one of those rare moments where I lose my general feeling of wanting to please people. Maybe I should just say Fuck 'em, and look out for #1 for a while.

Hahahaha but then again, who would notice!

Perspective and Slant

2005-10-30T14:43:00.000-08:00

I heard an interesting comment today...Without getting into quotes and whatnot, the line went something like this...."Well the news is being told from a conservative perspective on that channel."

Perspective? Are you kidding me?

The news is SUPPOSED to be facts. Not perspective, slant, or slight of hand! Sure it is naive to believe that the news is not being told in one slant or another, but for the population to accept that the "News" they receive is not fact, but a spin on events is frightening.

News Flash! Hurricane approaching Texas, millions evacuated! (that is news)

News Flash! Hurricane approaching Texas, millions evacuated by inept appointees of George Bush! Thousands Dead!(Left Wing Slant)

News Flash! Hurricane approaching Texas, millions evacuated! Many believe the storm was sent by god to kill the left leaning homosexuals of the world. Only God, and the Republicans can save you now! (Right Wing slant)

Sad world we live in, when even the world news is sent to us with a political agenda. Freedom of Speech is just as important as the freedom to be fed the truth, so that we can make educated opinions for outselves. God forbid the governments of the world let us be informed. We may ask the hard question, for which they can't, or choose not to answer.

It's Official....

2005-10-28T21:36:00.000-07:00

It just happened. The world has gotten to the point where there really is no return. I realized today that even the people you think are educated, and intelligent, are actually just morons.

I stumbled across one of the most disturbing websites today... www.godhatesgays.com

Are you fucking kidding? Just stop for 5 seconds, and before you go on your uneducated rant about homosexuality, and how you think it is wrong, just look at that web address and see the two words that can not go together. I am not an overly religious man, but I have come to understand that god does not HATE, hate is a human emotion which is derived from anger, jealousy, or ignorance. There is no other animal on the planet that can hate! There is also no other animal on the planet that destroys its environment like we do.

It is our own ignorance that is going to bring about our demise. The whole notion that being gay is the cause or the root cause of the spread of AIDS is ignorant. The concept that we CHOOSE to be gay, is also ignorant. How many straight people remember the day they went to school, and said,"Damn, I think I am going to go with the whole liking of the opposite sex, it is just going to be easier for me that way!" The way it happened for me went more like this....(Cue Dream Sequence) Grade 2, I am at my desk, and in walks Bernadette....I knew right at that moment that there was something different about her, and that I wanted to be somewhere she was all the time. (the penis tingling didn't come til later in life, but still no guy has done that for me yet.....Well, I think MAYBE L.L. Cool J did once, but I am not sure)

The religious right hides behind their thin veil of self righteousness when infact they are afraid. They are afraid of what they do not understand, and therfore they condemn it. If you want to condemn homosexuality by using the bible, please remove the context of two men laying together. The whole "womanization" of the male, by raping him is the intent behind that. For you ignorant women who feel the bible is the be all end all of how we should live our heterosexual lives, you may want to recall the part where you are second class citzens, and no better then an ox. However, I digress. I guess the whole point here, is that we allow the world to be perpetually "spun". There is this notion that CNN and Fox News reports the truth. That somehow Iran is evil for their views on Israel, yet nobody thinks Israel is evil for their views on the Palestinians. The world has been sucked in by the U.S. media to believe what they speak as the gospel, and when you go against the grain, you are an enemy of the state.

Remember that Rosa Parks was once an enemy of the state. She now lies in the Capitol Rotunda. What once was evil, is now the norm.

When we go to bed, and turn out the lights, and think we are somehow safer from terror because of Bush, or that we are doing the right thing by forcing democracy upon a country, or that when we belive the Cubans are oppresed because Fox News says so, that perhaps we need to talk to a terrorist, or an Iraqi, or a Cuban, and ask what they really want, how they really feel. It would be an interesting conversation when you find out that we infact are the terrorist to them. We are imposing our will on them, and we feel that because it is good for us, that it is good for them.

Allow me to impose upon you. Live one day of your life at the whim of someone else to whom you consider an opposite.. Eat as they eat, pray as they pray, do as they do. If you discover it doesn't work for you, imagine what it would be like to be told by an army, that this is how your life will be. ACCEPT IT.

How far from being termed a "Terrorist" are you?

10 minutes of anarchy please!

2005-10-26T17:45:00.000-07:00

This will not be the most politically correct post. I am sure most people don't expect me to be politically correct, but regardless. This could ruin my chances at ever running as an elected official.....

There is a local family crying because their son was killed by a police officer during a high speed chase involving a stolen vehicle. The stolen vehicle RAMMED THE POLICE CAR, and the police officer fired shots into the vehicle, killing the passenger. The family has every right to grieve their loss, and we as a society should grieve with them, however the problem lies with the fact that they are blaming the officer for their childs death. This teenaged boy steals a car with a friend, and they attempt to ram a police car to get away. I won't get into the parenting issues that led a child to think stealing a car was appropriate, but when you now use the car as a weapon, you should expect a weapon to be used on you. Even a teenager can comprehend tit for tat. We all make choices in our daily lives that keep us from, or put us in harms way. When harm comes upon us for making poor choices, we need to take responsibility for that, not try to pass that on to someone else.

The Progressive Conservative Party is now bitching and moaning on the radio saying the Liberals are trying to dilute the bills that Chuck Cadman had championed. He was going on and on about how they would not stand for this, and that they were making a mockery of this great friend of theirs. I like how the PC party treats friends, and effectively tosses them from their party. I like how they left him twisting in the wind, and only after he ran as an independant, and has since passed away, that now they are pounding their fists supporting him. It makes me sick when people try to use the deceased as a platform. The deceased has no way of speaking. The fact you were once in the same party as this man, gives you no right to speak for him, or make illusions to speaking for him. Leave that to his famly. Perhaps, I should have the right to speak for him as well, seeing as how I went to school with both his children. As such, I would say this.

Stephen Harper, resign! You are clearly making a mockery of your racist party. Paul Martin, please sign the appropriate legislation in a timely fashion, and enhance the ability of our police to handle the youth and extend appropriate penalties.

Thats about it really. Nothing deep and profound, and no thumping of the chest, and I am not trying to drum up pre-election support....Oh if only I caught the name of the MP who was name dropping. I would to my best to bring his ignorance to light, alas, I did not, and he sleeps well tonight.

So lastly, when the police have to deal with street racers, drug dealers, and pimps, I suggest we implement a 10 minute anarchy rule, just once a year, so that they can deal with these people in an anarchistic fashion, and the problems of society could be diminished. Sure, this opens Pandoras Box, but hey, it isn't like we havent peeked in there every now and again anyhow.

Soft Wood, Heavy Hands.

2005-10-25T19:59:00.000-07:00

Let me get this right.....You send Condie up here to tell us to relax, and not worry about things. That we should come to the table and negotiate a settlement? Ok....how about this for an opening sortie by Canada. "Gimme my god damned money back, before I cut the flow of oil, water and electricity to your god forsaken country!"

At the end of the day, we are only talking about 5 billion dollars. Now to the average Joe, that is a large sum of money, but to the average government, that is not even a drop in the bucket. It is more a section of a ripple created by a drop in the bucket. The problem I have with this whole thing is that we have won SEVERAL cases relating to these tariffs, and the Americans do not seem to want to adhere to the rulings. What this tells me, is that the Americans will not play by the rules that are set out in our agreements, so when push comes to shove, they are going to shove, and take what they want, as opposed to play nicely. SO! Let's shove back. I think it is time we look at expanding our trade agreements with China, India, Russia, and the like. Why be reliant on the U.S.? Sure, it is a matter of convienience with the border being where it is, but it is time we sever or reliance on the beast, become a big boy, and get out from Mother Americas apron. So, shut down the pipelines. Shut down the passages they use illegally in the north and the west coast with their subs, and shut down the electricity we send them. Sure, I realize that escelating a trade war with the U.S. will demolish our economy, but hell, if we did it for just a few days....or even just restricted oil flow to 50% and electricity to 50% on busy days, all of course by "accident" or "computer error". I wonder if they would send Condie telling us to behave, or if they would actually come to the negotiating table with my cheque for 5 billion.

George, wanna know why the Democrats put in the next president....its because of you, and that CIA leaking asshat Cheney....thats why.

Have you ever really thought, "How would the world change if I was not here tomorrow"?

If you think about it, the fact that astounds me is just this....Nothing would change.

Sure, a few people would cry, and even fewer would grieve for a long time, but really, in the grand scheme of things, nothing would change. The sun would still rise, the work day would still go on, and your friends and family would adjust, and continue. I guess that is where religion comes in to play. The moment you realize you are not as important as you think you might be. You really need to cling to the fact that there is more to life on earth, then just this. If there is no afterlife, and everything just fades to black, our daily interactions become more important. The minutes we spend hiding, sleeping, not engaging with others, are moments lost, and never to be found again. If you are a believer in the afterlife, you have nothing to worry about. You can continue your life on earth acting as though your interactions are inconsequential, and that if tomorrow doesn't come, you have the afterlife to make things up to the ones you love. The fact of the matter might just be, that you need to spend the time with the important people now, because when the curtain falls on your futile life, you may have nothing left to offer anyone.

Nevermind the fact, that if there is a heaven, there has to be an awful lot of mosquitos there.

Legislation and the Hypocrisy of Government

2005-10-22T10:04:00.000-07:00

Funny thing Government is. You take an elected group of men, who are supposed to be our leaders, and yet when you put them in a room together to draw up a piece of legislation, it takes them years and years to get it done, and in the end, it is the same piece of legislation that was originally in place, merely reworded, and ineffective. Take the Young Offenders Act. How many years have we heard there will be changes to the Act, and yet, we are still unable to prosecute teens as adults, in their adult crimes. The Act hsa remained basically the same, and the legislators blame the judges, and the judges blame society, and society blames the television. The last time I checked, the television didn't vote.

Now let me get to my point. Gordo is sitting in his little office on the island thinking up new and exciting ways to screw women around further. So he comes up with legislation teachers back to work. It should be noted at this time, that the BCTF is made up mostly of women, as is the HEU. In both cases, he had created a masterful piece of legislation out of thin air, and rammed it into law in a matter of days. NOT YEARS. DAYS. So with power like this, why is it that the Status Quo is the way to go. Gordo only has one sole ambition, and that is to break all unions. Regardless of where you stand on the Union vs Management issue, a few simple points need to be established. The Union is only as defiant as the management is inept. You do not hear about well managed companies having problems with their unions, or having unions certify in their workplace. Secondly, since we live in a democracy, we have the right to be treated equally. Unfortunately Gordo feels that union workers are second class citizens and a drag on society. That mentality shows you his inept management skill. Every employee is a person, with needs, and a voice that should be heard. When you have a union in place, you have collective bargaining, and that is how these disputes are settled. When we dismantle the concept of Collective Bargaining, and tear up contracts that were already bargained for in good faith, we have lawlessness on the side of the lawmakers. I have yet to see them be held in contempt of the court. This can never happen, because they are in essence the court, and those who make the rules.......

So at the end of the day we have established the following points.

Gordo is an inept manager, and leader.
Unions are whiney, however they are here so they must be dealt with through collective bargaining.
The Liberals intend to sell BC to corporations, and leave the people left holding the shortfall.
(Corporations dont buy money losing ventures. Once all our profitable government owned corporations are sold, we will not have the counter balance of red and black ink.)

*Why do the morons of the world end up as our leaders. George, Jeb, Gordo, Arnold, Stephen.....it is scary really. I guess the scarier part is that 50% of the population votes for them

It just happened. I am pretty excited really.

I can't believe it took this long, and I can't believe that it took Scott Stevens, a retired NHL'er to do it, but it just happened. I am officially STOKED about hockey.

Check this out, it will do the same for you!

I only have a problem with the Kariya hit, but he came back to play later, so it is all good.

Busy Weekends....

2005-10-17T08:43:00.000-07:00

My goodness, Rocky 6 is coming. This should be a great movie about a punchdrunk middle aged man coming back into the ring to make a few more dollars, and to try to find his manhood again. Wait, they could just be writing the story of George Bush, with only a few liberties. Clearly he is unable to box, but he is punchdrunk, and he is trying to find his manhood.....Oh that was too easy. Poor George, he is just such an easy target, I should refrain and maybe pick on his protege Cheney. Speaking of which, where is that guy? I swear to god he has been dead for the last 5 years, and nobody noticed.

The Angels were robbed. I am not going to go on about it for ever, but PLEASE, when you punch the guy out, he is OUT!

The Canucks are playing like panty wearing 12 year old boys. I remember what I played like while wearing panties at 12, so I think I can critque this one! Pansies I tell yah...pansies!

I apologize for the lack of eloquence in my rant today, I am merely in the midst of trying to survive planning a wedding. If you think it is easy, go get engaged and plan one...oh, and try to do it in a rush too, it only adds to the fun. Dec 3 is coming fast. I hope both of us are alive when that day comes. I am pretty sure she was sitting over me with the pillow when I woke up this morning.....Luckily I know that if I push my thumb into her armpit I will be safe....Muahahahahahah I shall overcome!

Hi, Teachers. Go back to work, and make a different point now. Oooh, and BCGEU, I hope you fall flat on your face and get your typical 0,0,0 raises again. I told you 5 years ago to walk when they started tearing up contracts, and now it is just too late. Good job George Heyman. You were an inept leader then, and you are a bigger clown now.

Global Detachment

2005-10-11T19:42:00.000-07:00

Wow. So here we sit, watching the return of hockey, the baseball playoffs, our weekly Monday Night Footbal game, and Cramer's Mad Money. I am bitching and moaning because I finished 8th in my baseball pool, ecstatic because I am currently breaking away in my football pool, and relishing the fact that at any moment my latest stock pick could make me a substantial amount of money. I am pissed off that I have to get up at 5:45 and go to a job that I don't love, that I am in a townhouse that always seems to be a work in progress, and I don't do anything about it, and that I missed out on making 45,000 on the last stock I should have bought, but didn't. Then the news comes on....They pull a 4 year old boy out of the rubble in Pakistan, he is so confused, and in a state of utter shock that he can't eat, or drink anything. He is in the arms of people who love him, and he is oblivious to everything going on around him. There is utter chaos surrounding him, and he is calm. Eerily calm.

It is in that split second of looking into this childs eyes that it hits me. I am on the other side of the world, and there is nothing I can do. There is a feeling of utter helplessness that is passed on to me through his eyes. I feel at that moment like opening my wallet, and giving all that I can. In those moments though , I come to a monumental moment of reality. My money will never get there. If my government, or the U.S government REALLY wanted to do something about this, they could. How many troops are stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq right now. The war on terror is supposed to be about saving lives, and giving people something to live for. You have the troops, the equipment, the ability to save lives, yet we let them die. Explain to the Pakistani family that has lost everything, that luckily, they are free from the terror of Sadaam, or Osama. I am sure they prefer that, over the help of uncovering their burried children. According to Bush, God wanted him to invade Iraq. Let's for one moment pretend that this is Gods will. Perhaps the bigger picture of Gods will was to have the man power in place for when the tsunami hit, or when this earthquake hit. Russia, France, Germany, you stand idly by watching the Pakistani people die. Send your money, send your trade agreements, but for the love of God, send people NOW. I do not for the life of me understand how a dollar bill will rebuild the life of the 4 year old boy. When all he really needs is to be held, and reassured, that someone will be there to take care of him today, tomorrow, and for the rest of his youth.

Shame on my government, shame on George Bush, and shame on us all for not doing something other then blindly sending money to the cause of the day.

Sweet Jesus!

2005-10-10T16:03:00.000-07:00

I was meandering through the back alleys of the internet today, and came upon another reason I am glad I am Canadian.

Florida it seems has enacted a new law. Jeb has really managed to reach the heights of brilliance with this one. In Florida, you are now allowed to shoot first, ask questions later. The law works like this. If you feel threatened, and reasonably believe that you will face death or grave bodily harm, you may shoot to kill. What they have removed is the flee first portion of the old law. So now, you do not have to simply step on the gas, and drive away, or exit out the side door. You can now just shoot. Wonderful really. Feel free to check out this link if you think I am kidding http://www.shootfirstlaw.org

Of course, there are the Americans who are standing by their Second Ammendment Right, the right that their country was founded on, the right to bear arms. The part they forget, was that when their country was founded, they were under imminent attack. They were revolting against the British, and were in the midst of war. Granted, the British are pretty wiley, and they could right now be planning their return to overthrow the sleeping Americans, however they are only deterred by that pesky Second Ammendment. The ignorance of the entire situation though is what really gets to me. Both sides of gun control are so polarized, that neither is smart enough to see the reality of the situation. Rifles are for hunting, so keep your rifles. Lock them away so your children do not shoot eachother. Handguns are for killing people, so unless you are a cannibal, and are a card carrying member of the American Cannibals Association, you really shouldn't be out hunting people. Why are there no biometric locks on triggers. Why does your rifle have to be fully automatic when hunting deer? Are they shooting back? Mind you, I guess it is pointless to rant. The NRA has more money and can spread their message better then this blog. I won't even begin to go on about how neither side is going to change the mind of someone on either side of the equation, it would just be nice if the two sides would agree to disagree, and come to terms with the reality of the situation. SOMETHING needs to be done, in order to keep innocent children from dying daily. Mind you, I guess some kids dying daily, is a fair price to pay to know that Jeb has a gun and can protect his family from the roving gang of thugs in his neighborhood. Hey Jeb, if you shoot like you govern, you might just want to call 911, at least that will be effective.

Taco Del Mar. Taco Del No More!

2005-10-09T13:32:00.000-07:00

Being the wonderfully caring guy I am, I stopped in at Taco Del Mar to get a Super Burrito for the cute girl I live with. So, I go in, and it is clearly, a new employee, and a new location. So, I am not expecting speedy service by any means. I patiently wait, while she explains she has never even tried the food there, and that she doesn't actually know if they have the pork or not. Blah blah blah, finally she sees that there is pork, so we begin the burrito making process....the short version is she proceeds to ruin the first one, so she makes another. I should point out, that I went in at 11:30 am, and the clock on the wall reads 7:45. I should have known right there, but I digress....anyhow, she makes the second burrito after botching the first, and I attempt to pay via my bank card....so she proceeds to swipe, and swipe, and cancel, and go through the main menu, and swipe...the clock on the wall is now reading 8:05. We try the Visa, she swipes, not such luck. So she calls her manager. The manager asks her if I have cash. Clearly this person is gifted, why didnt we think of that..CASH, of course! I dont have cash on me you moron, so the manager on the phone says,"Tell him to go get some cash." Bahahahahaha yeah, ok, I am going to run right over to an ATM, and come back to pay for this service. Sounds like a plan Stan. Needless to say, I left didn't return with cash, and the pork burrito is probably sitting there waiting for me. So, for the 30 minutes I wasted at Taco Del Mar, there idea was to tell me to come back with cash. Had they only just given me the damn burrito, I would be singing their praises, now however, I am telling you, do not go to the Taco Del Mar in Fleetwood. I know I won't be. Too bad too, the cute girl I live with LOVES that place and we would have spenta bundle there.
You lose Taco Man!

They aren't in order, but I dont know what happened. So I am not going to edit it, or respond to anyone pointing that fact out. Thank you, and goodnight!

Five

2005-10-06T22:36:00.001-07:00

Shock and awe.
Scorched earth, left barren by the retreating masses.
Pressing forward, guns drawn.
Democracy is a package formally delivered by the people.
Now it arrives from the barrel of a gun.
Millitary rule, from a foreign government.
Freedoms taken and not returned.
Democracy screams to be heard,
she is lost in the shuffle.
Terrorist for fighting an occupying country,
martyr for killing the innocent.
The battle lines drawn.
The seeds of Democracy will never be planted.
The Phoenix will rise from the flames of discontent.
There can be no victor, when all have lost.

Four

2005-10-06T22:36:00.000-07:00

Masterful illusionist.
Deceptively sincere
Your elusive meanderings within my mind
leave a trail of hopes and dreams.
Your image fades in and out,
like the ebb and flow of a tide.
Forming pools of desire,
and waves of passion.
The tranquility only broken by the realization
that the tide will flow out again.
Leaving me alone with my thoughts, and the
images of you in my mind.

Three

2005-10-06T22:35:00.000-07:00

I am who you want me to be.
I do what is expected of me.
For her I am one thing, for him another.
You dare not ask me what I think, for fear I may tell you.
Your selfishness dictates my response.
Why ask?
You know I am going to say what you want to hear.
You try to keep me pinned down to what you need,
without a second thought to what it is I crave.
You are too afraid to look behind the mask.
The truth can never be revealed.
My truth lies within my soul.
Revealed only to those who seek it.
For all the faces I have shown,
Not a single one has been my own.

Two

2005-10-06T22:34:00.000-07:00

The infinite chase.
The intricate dance we do; one step forward, two steps back.
You allow me close enough for hope,
Yet far enough away to keep me guessing.
I am not something to be toyed with.
Accept me for who I am, or cast me aside.
Love knows no bounds, and is limitless,
it is not patient, and can only wait so long.
The end approaches, there are two paths to choose.
One is with me, the other unknown.
One littered with obstacles, and paved with gold.
The other.....

One

2005-10-06T22:32:00.000-07:00

The shapeless darkness that I have become envelopes your being,
Leaving nothing behind to salvage.
I will not let you from my grasp.
I sink my fangs into your heart and my claws rip at your belly.
I will inflict pain like you have never felt. You will want to die.
All the while I bathe in your misery.
I am the nightmare of what you had, the dreams of what you can never have.
I am your world now, you cannot escape me. I will be the constant reminder.
I am your life companion, nothing can save you.
Wrap yourself around me, entwined we are one.
A shy hello, a simple smile, you start to blush.
I begin to fade....

Rage against the machine....

2005-10-06T20:23:00.000-07:00

Hi. Look, I see you here at work all the time, and you always say hello, or something mundane. I just thought I should put it out there that I don't like you. I don't want to get to know you, and you actually kind of scare me. Sure, you are a hard working girl, doing security for the parking lot here, but you really don't strike me as being the kind of girl I want to get to know better. Let's not even bother with the fact I am taken, lets just go with the fact that you wear the same jeans everyday, and you have worn that pink tank top for 3 days in a row. I dont notice you because you are attractive, I notice you becaue you are the somewhat obese girl where the jeans with shiny shit on them, and a neon pink tank top that appears to have some sort of white tye dye look going on it. I don't want to be mean or anything, but maybe shower, and lower your standards. I am sure there is a really nice guy doing security at the mall that is totally into the same stuff you are....you know....D&D, transformers, and keeping the world safe from car theives. Keep up the good work though, we have only had a break in on the vehicles everyday for the last few weeks. I would hate to see the crime rate if you top notch people weren't on the job.

Wow, who knew I held such odd thigns in my head....Oooh baseball, football, hockey, and soon NBA all on tv. Normalcy is returning....I missed you Normalcy. Welcome home.

Blessed are the cheesemakers.

Public Service Announcement.

2005-10-05T21:27:00.000-07:00

So I saw The Corpse Bride tonight. Tim Burton! Can't be too bad right? WRONG. It was horrible. Now don't get me wrong, I love my soon to be wife, she is a great girl, but sometimes she picks bad movies. I mean, there were a few redeeming qualities to The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants, but this last one, not so much so. It is a cartoon...and a musical....and...well....it just wasn't that good. However, because she is the mother of my child, I will sit through these movies and try to find something good in them. So...the good thing about the movie....Well....the cartoon brides were pretty hot. Depp is always good in anything (aside from Edward Scissorhands). Lastly, and not at all the least, is that it did have a guy in it that looked a lot like John Lithgow, and that dude is just plain funny to look at anyhow!

So, on that note, there is a Canucks game on, and I still don't care. So I think I will fix a drink, and call it a night.

Oh yeah...Boston Pizza, you have lost a customer. Jack up your prices like that, and you are going to lose more then cheap me! Jeebuz! It's Boston Pizza, not the Ritz Carlton!

I was dreaming when I wrote this, forgive me if I go astray.

U.S. Supreme Court Nominee

2005-10-04T19:29:00.000-07:00

So here we go again....Bush is pushing his conservative agenda via equal rights this time. Funny thing equality is. The key portion of that word being equal, not so much the ity. Equal is defined as Having the same quantity, measure, or value as another. This I cannot disagree with, and you will find I never disagree with Webster and his fine dictionary, however, the problem with Bush's equality, is that it really isn't all that equal. Sure, he is pushing for a woman on the Supreme Court. Bravo, equality, right? No, not so much so. (I know some of you will be annoyed when I answer my rhetorical questions, but really, there aren't too many of you reading this, so it isn't a concern as of yet.) You see Bush is now going to place a right wing religious zealot on the Supreme Court, which is great if you happen to be a wealthy white middle aged American male. Not so great if you fall into the category of any minority. Funny thing the minority groups. If they just banded together, they would actually be the majority, but neither the Republicans, or the Democrats have tapped into that market fully. Pity really. Anyhow, don't let me ramble on the Democratic shortfalls yet, back to my point.....Bush hides behind his Equality push here all the while he is discriminating against gays. Sure, you aren't gay, and neither are most of your friends so why do we care? Hell, as long as he ain't screwing with me, its all good! However, it wasn't that long ago, that the middle aged well to do white male was screwing with the women, and the people of any colour in their fine nation. Somewhere along the line, the women said, "No more!" so the white man backed down, then people like Martin Luther King said "No more!" and the white man had nothign left to blame the woes of the day on. So he turned to the only thing he had left. He couldn't persecute the Jews again, that would just be wrong by world standards. The people of various ethnic backgrounds around the world were converting to Christianity, and Catholicism mighty quick, so they had to leave them alone, because it is the religious right that keeps them in power. Who was left....who...who....who.....Oh I know...that girly guy over there, let's pick on him! He isn't going to stand up for himself, and he doesn't have a lot of friends to help him. As far as the bible goes, God hates him, so this is a slam dunk!
Oh how I love when someone like George W comes to power. Everything just seems to have clarity. I mean look how easy that is. A scapegoat is born. So now Katrina is the fault of the gays, because of that big parade. Oh, and God is mad at the gays because they are sinners, so he made AIDS. Yeah, I bet God is loving every minute of this. I know my all knowing diety has concerns over who I am cavorting with in my bedroom. George, you know, that war in Iraq? Saddam said he was making WMD's to destroy the gays of America, and that the World Trade Centre was because there was a gay couple inside. I am sure there are a few more things you can blame on them too. I mean why not? They only make up 10-15% of your country. Why not ostracize them! (This is the point where I REALLY REALLY want to point out the fact that Bush won the election by only a few electoral votes. If the Democrats would just make a small gesture toward the Gay and Lesbian vote, the elections would be Democratic landslides, however, I won't mention that in this post) I guess the point of my rambling is really rather clear. Quit discriminating. Republicans wearing white sheets, and chanting WHITE POWER need to be a thing of the past. The brainwashing has to stop, and we need to protect Canada from the same mentality creeping across the border. This is why Stephen Harper is a dangerous man.
I will end this post with a retraction of sort. Kanye West was NOT right, Bush doesn't hate Blacks. He hates poor people. (Condie asked me to retract that statement)

MNF, Beer, and Blowjobs

2005-10-03T19:04:00.000-07:00

It is one of the things that women just do not understand. The three go hand in hand in hand. You really can't enjoy any of the one to the fullest without the others. Granted, any one of them alone is acceptable, but you need all three for maximum effect. It is very similar to Louisianna right now. Sure, the hurricane was devestating, the levees broke, and FEMA was inadequate with its response. Any one of the items occuring, is an effective way to damage a city, but when combined, they create a perfect catastrophe. It is simply a matter of multiples. Now the Saints have nowhere to play. Why do we worry about the Saints at this time? I don't actually know. I am sick of hearing about how a sports team doesn't have home field advantage. As though somewhere there is a man in a flooded home in Louisianna just livid because the Saints are going to have to face unfriendly stadium noise. I mean sure, he has lost his home, his family, and his entire life, but he could probably manage just one more sad day if only he knew his Saints were ok.

Priorities people..... Blowjobs, Beer, and LAST Monday night football.....Jeezuz, get it straight!

And so it begins....

2005-10-03T14:08:00.000-07:00

This will not be your normal run of the mill Blog. Infact, you will find typos, grammatical errors, and many ramblings of inconsequential meaning. It will however be a blog that peers into the mind of someone who cares too much, and too little all at the same time.

I won't bore you with the minutia of my existance, I will however vent on the issues of the day. There is nobody who is safe from the commentary, and those in public view will face the brunt of my verbal assaults. Politicians, religious figureheads, and all the self interest groups that make up our world will be targeted, exploited, and chuckled at. I will post my opinions, and I will enjoy the comments posted by all, however do not expect to change my mind, as I do not expect to change yours.

I open now with a brief statement of what I consider to be fact.....

Kanye West is right, Bush hates blacks. Democracy is not a system of government to be imposed. It is born from the struggles of the individuals, not the struggles of the occupying forces. Stephen Harper is a dangerous person. The New England Patriots are a dynasty in decline. The Red Sox will not repeat. I am Canadian, hockey is about to begin, and I dont care. The world is clearly not in balance if a Canadian doesn't care about hockey. Seattle needs a new monorail system. California needs a politician as a Governor, not an Actor. Oil companies are price gouging. Religion is a freedom, it is not a system of Government. Fox News is perhaps the cornerstone of the evil empire. Jimmy Buffet is better then you think, and lastly....NAFTA needs to be retooled or completely scrapped. I want my softwood tariffs back!
