Crazy-go-What?!!?

I maintain that all old people have gone off their rocker. I wonder if we are under biological attack; ruin by insanity. In the last week I have encountered six different people of the elderly persuasion who have behaved in a most irrational manner. Maybe they are sick of youth disrespect and they "ain't takin it no more!" or maybe it's the moon, but it is way overboard this week. Deemed: Worst Week 2008(so far)


Oh yeah...

NEW LOST TONIGHT!!!!!!!

What the

So I have little to say, but feel as though I am neglecting my ego.


Dear Ego,

Lately I have been feeling lazy. Lazy about everything. Josh feels it too. The kitchen is a mess. I finally vacuumed and mopped today, two days late. There is a balcony to sweep, cats to brush, course planning to do, materials to be made, and invitations to boot. Still it seems as though maybe I'm getting quite a bit done. I've actually stuck to the workout routine I've created for myself, and the hall closets are both newly organized. The big windows have been cleaned(twice, to no avail, damn you windows, DAMN YOU!!!!!) I've got a guest list, which I did not have two days ago. I think things are quite balanced, now that I ponder on it. The in box will be full when I die as they say!

Onward Jeeves!

Cheaters = Traitors

This whole Elliot Spitzer thing seems to have brought a lot of assholes out of the woodwork. I have run in to a few very disconcerting articles on Digg, related to cheating.

Surviving infidelity

The title of the article itself bothers me. There should be no "surviving" infidelity, beyond that of surviving the aftermath of the breakup that SHOULD ensue. If you feel the need to be unfaithful, then you should leave the person you are with. They are obviously not meeting your needs and it is wrong to betray their trust.

Faithfulness is a Fantasy "Sexual promiscuity is rampant throughout nature, and true faithfulness a fond fantasy" Oy. I thought that what put us on top was our ability to become more than animals. To take nature and manipulate for our own needs. To grow in to something that is not instinctual, but driven by logic and reason. What can I say, other than I am not surprised that when a rich democrat gets caught cheating, suddenly there are a large amount of "It's ok to cheat, it's part of nature" articles popping up everywhere. I am taking my stand here. It is not ok to cheat. It is NEVER ok to cheat. If you cheat, you are a traitor, and should be punished as such. With a vicious ass kicking from the family of the person you cheated on.

Spring has sprung

It smells like the world is warming up. Mmmmmmmmmm

HAPPY ST. PADDY'S!!!!

5.66Gb, 1356 files

My music library is respectable, at least in size, if not quality. This in itself caused an issue, as we were beginning to be limited severely by the size of the hard drive on the old computer (now dubbed "The Bitch") For two years now, my library has grown more slowly, constricted by size issues, and more than 70% of it was not on the pc, and only accessible when the disc it was saved on was in the pc. Now that we have a new computer (dubbed "The Beast") I am super excited, cause there is nothing on The Bitch anymore. No programs except what we need to run it, and so that leaves me with a LOT of room for music. Welcome back Library, and play ye well.

March Break

March break is here, and with it, the beast is born. After a lot of frustration, aggravation, and $50 to the computer guy across the street, the Beast is up and running. Then, after some more aggravation, I have finally connected both of them to the router, and we are off and running!!! Right now, Josh is looking at Digg, while I blog, and life could not be sweeter. I am such a dork. Anyway, hoping to get in some snowboarding these next two weeks, or at the very least some skating. WOO MARCH BREAK!!!!!!!

Paint Your Snow
Add plenty of food colouring to water, and voila, snow paint!
Paint your snow families, forts, paint a picture on the snow!!!!
Just remember, the more food colouring you add,
the stronger your colours will look!

Snow day? NO WAY!

My phone rang at 6.45 am today. I excitedly jumped out of bed, and answered it, expecting to hear those wonderful words; We are closed for a snow day. This is not what I heard. My boss, strangely, called me and told me that we ARE open, and that I should use my best judgment about whether or not to go in. Now, with the exception of the last snow storm we had(a couple days ago) I have never in my life even said "Whoa, this storm is dangerous". The last storm was an exception, simply because of the near freezing temps, and the sheer ice that was forming under the snow on the roadways. Ultimately, if I want to be paid, I must go in. If I want to drive in the snow, and I assure you I do every chance I get; then I must go in. My best judgment tells me going to work today is the right thing to do, especially since it is only 2 more days until MARCH BREAK!!!!!!! *packs snow gear, and heads to work*

Snow me baby!

If this prediction is true, this might be the happiest first day of March Break EVER!!!!!!!!!!!














*****This has been retracted. Damn you Weather Network!!!!*****

Good Bye, Stage6

YEAH ....... Finally they nailed the big guy!!!!!!!!! I was the owner of Moviethis.com and the MPAA kept coming after me for illegal copyright infringement for LINKING to external sites mostly to Stage6 (Which they actually hosted the illegal content)....... I am so freeking happy w00t!!!!!!!!

One thing I do wonder is why they paid an employee to write an internet wide letter to lie about the shutdown..... Losses? They didn't have losses, most of the moderators of the stage6 site were volunteers like you and me. The advertising probably brought in 6-10 grand a day.

Im just glad they got the big guy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a response to a question asked at yahoo answers, regarding the shut down of Stage6. I thoroughly dislike the "it happened to me, so it should happen to everyone" attitude, and were I able to speak with the poster personally, I would ream him till next Sunday. I will miss Stage6, whether they are shutting down due to pressure from the MPAA, or because of the reason they are giving; overhead costs. I wonder if this person understands the repercussions of a site being shut down that is as widely known as Stage6, and if he did, would he be so happy? Huzzah, the government is taking over all aspects of our private lives!!! Hurray, the corporations are taking over the government!!! YAY, Big Business will own the world, and we will all be slaves!!!!! Moron.

Snow Make Smart?

I went to visit my brother today, and on the way home I encountered something interesting. I thought that I would be late to pick up Josh, because of a certain section of highway. We have an HOV lane running the 403 from around Winston Churchill to near the 401 connector. Normally, traffic along this part of the highway crawls at drive time, while the HOV lane seems to fly. Today, though, I never came to a stop, and rarely dipped below 60 km/h. Why, I asked myself, did traffic seem to move better in the snow, than on a sunny, dry day? I looked around me and noticed something different. Everyone was leaving space between them and the car in front. This is something that I rarely see, usually having to nose my way in to a lane. Interesting, how when we don't ride each others asses, traffic moves better! The reason for this seems to be the HOV lane itself. People stay in it until their exit is coming up, then jump out, cut three lanes across, and exit. In the snow, this is no problem, as there is usually plenty of room for them to get across. In dry weather, well the asshole in everyone takes over, and we couldn't possibly leave space between the car in front of us, as then someone else might get in there, and then we'd be further behind. Too bad though that drive time traffic today only added five minutes to my drive, simply because fear out weighed ego.

Why Do I?

Why do I got to bed at 9:30? Now I'm awake, at 6:30, and no one else is. I'm bored.

Addicted to Superbugs

Surprise, Surprise, Oakville has complimentary superbug potion in the mall. Oy Malloy....



Now, I have a thing about antibacterials. Ask any Doctor, Scientist or even Health Inspector, and they will tell you this: Antibacterials are neither necessary, nor healthy. Even time you use this stuff, you are killing off 99% of the bacteria on your hands, right? Stop and think about that for a second. 99%. We have bacteria on our hands that protect our bodies from infectious agents. We have them everywhere. They live on our eyelashes and tongues and even in our digestive systems. We need them. Of course, this is only half the problem. The other side of the coin has people overusing antibacterials and antibiotics, aiding in the creation of what could be the next world plague. Superbugs are not a myth. These infectious little fiends are simply every day bugs which have become immune to the various "Anti's" that we use. One day, we will be the death of ourselves, because we fail to see the long term effects of our foolish meanderings. Long Live Stupidity!!!

This Week in Assholics Anonymous

I suppose because of the places that I frequent, I encounter a lot of dillholes. I live in a community that is comprised of about 80% upper class. It's poop, because they are mostly full of themselves, and tend not to pay attention to the people around them. Unfortunately, even the middle to lower class people behave in this way, more than likely as a type of defense for the over powering arrogance that oozes from the typical Oakville-ite. I went to pick up Josh the other day, for his lunch. I followed a car in to the lot, which stopped in the middle of the lot, while one passenger got out, moved his car, and the first car entered the spot which was vacated. The second car then pulled in to the middle of the parking lot, and the two men continued to have a chat.

All the while I am sitting patiently, waiting for them to move so that I may park in the visitors parking. I couldn't believe that they would continue their conversation with me sitting right there, obviously wanting to get by, as my car is still running, and I'm not parked, I am in fact blocking the cars that ARE parked. The man standing outside the car is an executive at Josh's place of work, a man who typically thinks little of others, and mostly of himself. It's a sad day when you can't even be bothered to pull your car off to the side of the drive way, in order to allow other cars to get by. I give these two first prize for dickish move of the week!

Toronto is Pussy

GTA "Hammered"


Maybe I am less a-feared of snow than most people, but having lived in Canada my whole life I find articles like that to be incredibly amusing.

Click me, I dare ya......

It is 2:30 am, and due to gastro-intestinal dysfunction; I am awake. This sucks, but as a way to get over it, I will blog to my hearts content. I have of late begun watching tv online as there is a plethora of sites where you can see a huge variety of shows. Since I've been working part time, I've been able to keep up with the shows that I usually watch, which are all complete now, as the writers are still striking. This has lead me to some random clicking, in order to find something to entertain my dull mind. I have recently come upon a show called Traveler that was only 8 episodes long. It seemed like a good show, gripping, good story, well acted and written. So why only 8 episodes? Well, let me tell you a bit about the show. It features two grad students, who are on the run from the FBI, after being framed for the bombing of the fictional "Drexler Museum" in New York. They were seemingly set up by their friend "Will Traveler" who turns out not to be a fellow student, but an agent in a covert operation, called "Project Hometown". This is where it got interesting. The main character "Jay" made a glib comment near the beginning of the show that should they catch him, he'd be sent straight to Guantanamo. Project Hometown was being run by the former head of the FBI, who is now the new head of Homeland Security. It's worth watching, even though it is completely unfinished and they have given up hopes of revival. Now, I watch lots of shows that have been canceled unduly i.e. Wonderfalls,Tru Calling,Carnivale, Firefly and never have I seen anyone give up so quickly on their show. The director posted an answers blog explaining the different groups that were alluded to during the course of the eight episodes, effectively ending any ideas that there would be a revival. The conspiracist in me can't help but wonder if this shows canceling was due more to it's subject matter than lack of interest. I've linked the title of this post to the shows page at surfthechannel. Have a gander if you have the time. I think it's worth it.

Oy

I think that is everything. *fingers crossed*

Written by a friend, thought of you

7 Days until the Final Flight
on Day 1 i will quit everything sobriety for the journey
Day 2 to make ammends
Day 3 To celebrate family and friends
Day 4 To be charitable to those i meet
Day 5 to say my goodbyes to those i know those i touched and fuck you to those who hated me
Day 6 For deep introspection a look at my inner self and put it to words for those to come
Day 7 Take to the skies and attempt to fly the body will fall but the mind will soar

Dear Munkey, I love you with all my heart. Remembering things I once knew has made me realize that there is only one person in my whole life that loves me the way I always hoped for. Thank you.

Remember long days past
remembering the scents and sights
remembering the feelings
left far behind
I remember you,
and what you said to me,
and i think about it now,
and it makes me sad
to know that i put more value
on what was once ours
than you ever did
and i realize my luck
to have found it twice
and love the one i do
all the more for it.
Someone who loves me
for exactly who i am
someone who never
wants me to change
someone who takes
everything i say
at face value, and at my word
and doesn't listen to whispers,
sent to rip apart
the one thing i have
the one thing i give
the one thing i want
the love we live.

I am suddenly remembering a wealth of emotions. I miss you. more than words can say. and all I wanted was a minute of your time a second in the long run, but to much to ask at the time. you listened to foolish words and now I'm left to pick up piecing of what is left behind. I read what i wrote and remember everything about that day. Your face, the heat, the smell of you and fresh grass, and I cry for times lost, and never returned. I hope one day you remember me the way i remember you and not the way we've turned out to be. cause i miss that man that stood before me, and told me i wasn't enough. Cause for all your faults i still love you today and hope for only the best. This is a good bye note more than anything because things are unchangeable, but if i had the chance i would never have let you go, miss you that much. I love you. you have a special place in my heart. for my whole life you will be remembered, and fondly at that. It is my hope that one day we will meet again and friendship will remain, for we have a destiny you and me. and i believe it is meant to be.
