I’ve Said It Before
There have been blogs, scattered about the hemisphere of Internet users, in regards to the abuse of Politicians and their lack of tact with spending. I saw this on CTV news tonight…
Canada’s 308 MPs received about $127 million in expenses last year but there are no public details into exactly how that money was [...]
I’ll Take "Bail Out" For 100
“What is recession, Alex?”
Who are the real victims of this economy?
Truly the, real, unadulterated victims?
It’s certainly not the C.E.O.’s who don’t want to give up their three kabillion a year jobs with their bonuses of $0.5 kabillion.
The trickle down effect, attacking human beings like dominos lined up for the intentional fall, is what [...]
Story Of My Life
Well it’s here again. For the uninitiated,1 it’s that time again when Tim Horton’s is offering up their “roll up the rim to win” sweepstakes.
You can win a car.
A lap top.
Free coffee and muffins and if you are one of 100, you can win $10,000.00.
Sigh, $10,000.00.
It’s the failure of my retirement plan all [...]
Self Pity 101
The title says it all.
I try my best not to dwell in what I don’t have.
In fact, since my realization that my topic-de-jour and my river writing was hurting those I’ve tried to remain positive and look at the “bright side of life.”
You know that sentimental, “if life hands you lemons…” kind of [...]
"SHOW ME THE BEAST!"
So Madge and Guy are calling it quits, are they?
He says she became a stickly tight assed pain1 and was shoving that red string in every which direction.
One imagines her running around their mansion, interpretive “ab” building, moaning Kabbalah this and Kabbalah that.
On her part he was typically British and callous in his affection. [...]
WEEKEND - Capital Letters Approved
There is something about stepping off the bus for a weekend away from work.? Seriously.? Two full days.? Wow.
It’s almost like at 10:51 PM when I got my ass off the bus and it just seemed to me that a happiness shook me.
Now it’s not like I hate my job but it just seems like [...]
And The Winner Is…NOT ME
So I decided to check my ten lottery tickets.
You see that’s what I do.
I save them up and check them all at once.
It’s a minor pleasure to piss off Convenience Store Clerks.
I see their eyes roll back in their head and depending on the nationality1 vomit out some kind of curse [...]
T.T.C. (Take The Car)
By now the Torontonian blog community has been screaming, “Stupid, bloody, T.T.C!”1 And the strike was a “don’t blink or you’ll miss it affair” but the Transit here did go on strike for I think all of 48 hours. Maybe less.
We’re all ranting and raving from our points of view and that’s understandable. I [...]
Non Fumer
It’s been two weeks yesterday since my last cigarette. Well that’s not entirely true but the last cigarette from a pack that I’ve bought.
I did have two in Spain1 and a couple of puffs on the day I got back. Literally two puffs.
So did it surprise me when I got on the [...]
For Those About To Fall
Bagged.
Wiped.
Zonked.
Totaled.
What every you call it, I am. I’m so tired I’d have to pay someone to chew my own food for me.
It’s funny how you can be so happy and sad at the same time.
I had quite the weekend.
Only supposed to work 8:00 am to 3:30 pm on Saturday but it got extended [...]
