Now I know it’s quite early to be talking about the 2008 election in the U.S. but it’s already starting to look interesting. Though the funniest thing, from what I’ve seen is neither the Democrats, nor the Republicans are going to be the driving force in that election. Nope, from what I’ve seen it’s going to be Christopher Walken vs MacGyver in 2008. Now I know certain people (Vics) are going to be mad because I’ve chosen to become a Political Blog, commenting on the upcoming race, but I think that this is an important subject that must be looked at.
First off, we need to look at the Walken ticket, since he put his hat in the ring first. Obviously he would be the creepiest president ever, but this could work to his advantage. Imagine some congressman pushing the agenda of a special interest group and suddenly Walken walks over to his desk and pulls out a gun and starts to wave it around, chuckling in his own unique way. Oh even worse, he pulls out a cow bell and starts playing it and screaming “MORE COW BELL”. That would chase any sane person out of the Oval Office. A huge advantage is that Walken will not be influenced by any of these groups. Walken will do what Walken feels is needed for the country. My only fear would be that if he decides to get Gary Busey as his running mate. While that would make them unstoppable it would scare the hell out of every other nation on earth.
Now looking at the MacGyver ticket, all I can say is that IT’S MACGYVER. MacGyver is a problem solver. Isn’t that what’s needed in the White House? Someone who thinks things out and can solve problems in short periods of time? If MacGyver can rescue himself with junk lying around a room, imagine what he could accomplish with the full support of the U.S. Government. He could solve the world’s energy problems with a can of whip cream, a lighter and a rubber band. He would be able to solve the Iraq problem by going over there and doing his MacGyver magic. Oh and why hasn’t Osama Bin Laden been found? Because MacGyver hasn’t gone after him yet. If anyone can find this piece of subhuman slime, its MacGyver. I’m not sure who he would pick as his running mate but I hear his buddy Pete is a possibility. Oh and you might want to show your support for MacGyver by putting a MacGyver in 2008 bumper sticker on your car.
Well that’s the frontrunners, and right now my only concern is that Walken may try something underhanded but I have faith that MacGyver will survive and come on top with only a paperclip and a pack of gum.

It's a Yadda day, sorry
I’m short on time today so I don’t have the luxury to properly proofread my post (after yesterday’s instinct/extinct mess) so I’m just going to share some cool link.
I’ve always been a dog person but now there’s nothing cooler than Dogs in Cars . Yes folks its cute doggies in cars. How can you loose with this site? Sometimes they even look like their even driving. Oh and the pictures are from all over the world. Who know that they had Dobermans in cars in Russia?
However I know not everyone is a dog person. I do realize that so to those people I present Cats in Sinks . Just look at the adorable Cats sitting in the sinks. Don’t they look cute? Does it make you want to put a cat in a sink right now. Oh and even the Google ads are about Cats and Sinks, which proves that Google ads do work.
Does a name tell the whole story? After reading this, I hope not. I found the Top 100 dirty names for towns in the U.K. The fact that there are 100 names like that makes me wonder, what is going on over there. Now I admit that names like (90) Honeypot Lane are a stretch, unless you have a perverted mind but there’s now denying (4) Twatt. That just says it all, and I feel that I have to visit (44) Lickers Lane. Oh for the record there are towns like that in Canada as well. I’m forced to confess the existence of Dildo, Newfoundland.
Well my time is indeed limited, which means I have to go, but I need to make a slight retraction. Kati does still visit, I’m just not on her “daily” visit list anymore. Oh well, such is life, but it feels good, not to be abandoned.
So I leave you with a riddle. How many Canadians does it take to change a light bulb? None, we don’t change light bulbs, we accept them as they are.

You will not push me around
I commented about this yesterday in my Geek Blog but I thought that this is so important that I had to comment on it here as well. There’s this woman, a mother of 5 according to P2PNet who is standing up against the goons at the RIAA. She’s telling them “NO!!! I will not be intimidated by your soulless whore lawyers who feel they have the right to shack down anyone they feel like.” Patricia Santangelo, you’re my hero.
This woman is one of countless people who have been shaken down by the RIAA in an immoral attempt to force normal people to pay thousands of dollars, just because they have an internet connection. Everyone is familiar with the scare tactics that these goons use. Their fear mongering is a source of pride for themselves and a source of disgust for the rest of us. I’m glad that someone has finally decided to stand up to this paper tiger.
Yesterday I read an interview from her attorney and how he felt that things should go well for his client. How he even expects the courts to throw the whole thing out and that the RIAA will end up paying HIS fee. The interview can be found here.
The thing that I really like is how the attorney is making everything public by posting all the court documents on a blog. So we can see how what kind of cheap stunts the RIAA will pull this time.
Alright recording industry, it’s time for you to understand that you cannot turn back time. Change is inevitable, and any industry that refuses to address changes in the marketplace is destined to become extinct. Just ask the people who made LP’s. Wait a minute, that was you. You learned that lesson once, now why haven’t you learned it again?

I've been dumped. WAAAAA !!!!!
Last night I was checking out some blogs, specifically the blogs on my favorites list and after I finished writing a comment on one of those blogs, I made a horrific discovery? I’VE BEEN DUMPED !!!!!. Ok I admit that I don’t always have time to comment on all of the blogs that I visit but was this reason enough to say “Screw you Hoser, I’m outta here”? Alas, Kati have given me the heave ho.
As I wipe the tears from my eyes I ask myself, why oh why did she dump me. Was it my breath? My mentioning of smut or my awful podcasts? Ohhh the pain of rejection. No one understand me. To quote Nancy Kerrigan as she was smack with that crowbar “WHY!!!!!!”.
Well it has been awhile since I talked about the people who have to taste test flavored condoms or the people who have to pour the molds for those artificial vaginas. I mean someone has to pour the goop so get an exact match for the “insert porn starlet’s name here” official fake vagina. MMM just off topic but when you misspell vagina, and click on the spell check, vagina doesn’t come up. I guess that Microsoft doesn’t believe that people will use Word to write about vaginas.
I was trying to become more, high brow with my thoughts. I didn’t want everyone that I was a slimy pervert. I’m a closet pervert, there’s a huge difference. Ok while I do admit that some days, the passion isn’t there but I try to make up for it. I stay away from the Ubergeek stuff, which I leave for my geek blog, and even then I’m cheating there now as well by linking Digg stories.
Ok maybe I’m not totally high brow. How can I make that claim while putting up a picture of someone tweaking J Lo’s nipples? I guess the nipple thing was the last straw, or perhaps it was the picture of the guy bent over with flames coming out of his ass from August 5th. I don’t know. I guess I’m just going to have to wallow in my own sorrow and try to figure out what I did wrong. *SNIFF* Oh yeah I still have a link to her blog, just because I still go there. However I go visit other blogs because I need to have questions answered like “What colour is the Hulk’s pee?”

TAG!!! Your it
I enjoy tag boards. I know, I know. What a strange thing to say but look at my tag board for example. Right now, we’re discussing a fictional party where the police showed up, not to mention the 6 pizzas being glued to my ceiling and the presence of a goat. Oh and this started with someone mentioning a bra.
While I also enjoy Baby Sheepie’s tag board, it’s became quiet in the past 24 hours but there was talk of bisexuality. WOO HOOO. Women being bisexual. YAAAAAA. Ok I’ll behave myself, (actually guys shouldn’t be cheering this. It just creates more competition, and the women have a “home field advantage”) but the point is that tag boards can be a blog within a blog and can be as silly or as serious as you wish. Basically I want MORE TAG BOARDS people.
Ok I know that this whole thing is silly but I’m looking forward to the explanation of the goat being in my apartment.

Google does owns my ass
I said it before and it I’ll admit to it again. Google owns my ass. Everything from Google rocks in my opinion and now these guys have gone and taken the next step in their conquest of the internet. ALL HAIL GOOGLE.
The last time I discussed this, someone said “but Google doesn’t have Instant Messaging” well to that I say PHTTTTT. It’s official. Google Talk is OUT!!! It ties to your GMail account so it also lets you know if you have any new e-mail. Oh and if your going to whine about not having a GMail account, I’ll send you an invite ok.
Now I’ll admit that people have become accustomed to AIM or MSN. (It’s weird, in the U.S. everyone uses AIM but everywhere else, MSN is the client of choice), but I have faith in my Google. You can download Google Talk from here.
I’ve also been messing around with the new version of Google Desktop, which also has a sidebar option that shows different things like news, weather or whatever. I can see it being more customizable in the near future.
Yes so Google does indeed own my ass. The fictitious “Property of Google” tattoo on my left check continues to stand out as I continue to sell my soul to the Google army.

Turns out I had a good time.
Back in Toronto on the Bell Pay Internet terminals, my flight back to Calgary leaves soon. I'm just glad that there aren't any "problems" like cancelled flights, closed airport or tornado warmings like on Friday.
I'll do a Podcast when I get home at about 9:00pm tonight.
Oh and I caved in, I did the Sock Dance, They're in my bag and I'll take a pic and post it tonight.

Here I am, still in one piece.
After spending 8+ hours in Toronto's airport, getting here by mignight, sleeping, getting up. I'm starting to feel human again.
I'm just glad that I was able to get that last flight ot else i'd be on Vics doorstep right now. I kept a good watch at all the departures because I wanted to get an ideal of what was staying and going. Anyway by 10pm, there weren't too many flights left so I could see all the departures. First I saw Vienna, leaving at 11:15 and I thought "I've never been to Vienna", then I saw Manchester and pictured myself at the airport looking up Vics number. Well, your safe because I didn't make that flight and I had no return ticket.
Well I have to go, put on my tux and all that crap. Cya soon

I'm stuck in Toronto
Well, I'm stuck in Toronto. My 2:25pm flight was cancelled due to weather. They have me on Standby for a 6:35pm flight but I am CONFIRMED on a 10:05pm flight, so I can at least get there tonight but it's going to be "Rush Rush" to get fitted for my tux THE DAY OF THE WEDDING.
Anyway, I'm at a cheap internet terminal, paying 20 cents a minute for access, so excuse the grammer errors *SMIRK*.
on the bright side, I met some nice people, waiting in line at customer service. *SMILE*

I'm leaving on a Jet Plane, Ya Da Da Da Da Da Da Da
Well, this is it. Tomorrow morning at 6:15am, I’m off. Flying back east to Ontario, to see my family and my sister’s wedding. To be honest, I’m not looking forward to going back, but it will be nice to see the family. Seeing my sister and brother as well as my mommy and dad is going to be nice, it’s other parts of the family I’m not looking forward to seeing. Yeah we all have them, I know.
I’m not going to bore you with family crap, but let’s just say that I with my visit being so short (only a couple of days), I’m not scared to stir the shit with the “extended” family if something occurs. I wrote about it last year, so if you care, click here. However, I hope certain people start something because I will raise hell, and I don’t care about the consequences. I’ll be flying back to Calgary soon after.
I also found something humorous for all those people who work in retail or customer service. I’m talking to you Baby Sheepie. Apparently, there was woman who was being a real pain to the cable company, she kept calling and calling about stuff and she obviously pissed someone off because when she got her cable bill, instead of her name appearing on the bill, it was addressed to “Bitch Dog”. I LOVE IT. We all see these people who never shut the hell up and it’s about time we sent a message to these people.
I encountered one of these “dumb” attention needing people quite awhile back, when Titanic was first released on video. I was in line at Blockbuster and the person in front of me was renting that movie, the clerk handed the tape over and he said, the sinking scenes were fantastic, and the she would enjoy it. Then she flips out, saying the he had ruined the movie for her and started screaming for the manager. She was being a total ass, as she made her fuss and since I was in a rush. The end result was that I snapped. I said “Excuse me, but did you really think the boat was going to make it? What planet are you from, that doesn’t know that the Titanic sank on its maiden voyage.” Then she started on me, to which I respond by turning my hand into a puppet and mimicked her yakking. Needless to say, she left the store, telling me that she was going to send her husband in to “have a word with me”. I rented my movies and left, they guy never showed up. My theory is that he was too embarrassed by his stupid wife.
I know this post is a little yadda yadda but my time is limited and I won’t be back until late Sunday night. I’ll put up the Photo Friday post before I leave for the airport (at 4:00am) but don’t expect to hear from me until Sunday.
Oh yeah, to all Microsoft Word users. I found this cool add on from Blogger which allows people to post to their blog, directly from a word.doc. Check it out here

The Dating Geek
First thing, I admit that I'm a geek. Ok, I'm an ubergeek but it doesn't mean I wear a pocket protector. It doesn't mean that I spend my Saturday nights playing Dungeons and Dragons. It's doesn't mean that I can't get a girlfriend, but there are others who might have this problem so to them I send this info.
First off, everyone else has their own online dating service (even the vain self centered bastards at beautifulpeople.net) so why not one for geeks. Well someone has met that need with Geek2Geek. Now Geeks can hook up and discuss which version of Linux they like best (or some other geeky stuff). There's one problem though, the male/female ratio is definitely in the female's flavor. Imagine ladies, hundred of men who have no idea how to please you are waiting for your e-mail right now.
Well let's try something else. I found this on Digg.com. YES PEOPLE, its Sex Tips for Geeks. ALRIGHT, someone has answered my call….I mean other geeks call. I'll give you some of the details.
MMM, women can smell fear in a geek huh? Well maybe its fear of the fact that you've been playing Battlefield 2 online for 18 hours straight and need a SHOWER !!!, or not.
Ok now don't be yourself. Strange thing to say but then again, most women don't want to hear about your feeling about Apple switching to Intel chips !!!!!!
I'm not going to go through the whole thing but I will say they also have feedback from "real girls" GASP !!!!! So there might be something to all this.
Ok sometimes it will be hit or miss, at least until you put on some deodorant and get some decent glasses or contact lenses.
One last thing, try not to be too smug when you drive off, when the woman who turned you down, sees that your driving a BMW.

We are the future, not you Mr. Multinational Media Conglomerate.
I know I've been yakking about podcasts, not to mention doing my own, but there's now another way where we can seize the power and allow us to control our own works, our own creations, our own words. I've discovered the way books are going to be published in the future and the people at Simon and Shuster should be shaking in their boots right now.
There's this service called Lulu.com where anyone, and I mean ANYONE can be published. Spend a year, writing your first novel and the whores at the publishing companies won't give you the time of day? Screw them, publish it yourself with Lulu.
Now this isn't one of those vanity presses, where you have to pay X amount of dollars and then sell the books yourself. Nope, not here. Instead you upload your work and they will print your book on a “per order” basis. So you could put a link to your book on your blog, and people can own your words.
Yeah I know, but what if your not Tom Clancy or J.K. Rowlings but it doesn't matter. Everyone has to start somewhere and not only does Lulu advertise your book on their website, but they also give you the option of having your book appear on Amazon's Marketplace. THIS IS AMAZON PEOPLE. NOW YOU'RE IN THE BIG TIME. Oh? Did I mention that the author get's most of the money as opposed to the publishing company with Lulu?
Personally, I've read some really good stuff on my Favorite Blogs list. Item's so good that I feel that they should be printed and now these people can do it. SCREW YOU MR. BIG ASS PUBLISHING COMPANY!!!.
I remember once that I made a comment about how I wanted this URL added to my tombstone, so that even after I'm gone, people can discover who and what I was. Well there's another way. People could now publish their blogs. I'm actually giving this some serious thought now. Perhaps after another year, or so, I could create “Tales from the Great White North Vol. 1”. Why not? Even if only my mom and I buy the thing, I still have that option.
Oh yeah, soon you'll be able to do hard cover books and no one but you will know that it was micropublished.

People could now publish their blogs. I'm actually giving this some serious thought now. Perhaps after another year, or so, I could create “Tales from the Great White North Vol. 1”. Why not? Even if only my mom and I buy the thing, I still have that option.
Oh yeah, soon you'll be able to do hard cover books and no one but you will know that it was micropublished.

Someone download my podcast into their Ipod and look what happened.
You've been warned.

I'm leaving on a JET PLANE
I'm feeling BLAAA again. Perhaps after the little trip east for "the wedding" will recharge my batteries. At the very least, I'll get to sit in a plane for over 8 hours (that's both ways).
I really like the idea of sitting down in a seat and hours later, I'm thousands of kilometers away from where I started. While Toronto isn't my favorite city in the world. I might be able to snag a slice of Pizza Pizza, from one of the terminals. They don't have it out west and that's the ONLY thing I really miss from Ontario.
My dad used his frequent flier miles to get my ticket so I'm flying business class, so I'm really looking forward to it. No long lines at the airport, a large seat so I don't feel squished and the food is better and I'll have an AC outlet to plug in my PSP so I won't kill the battery, but I'll have to make sure that I have enough Podcasts to listen to if the movie suck. That's one problem, you cannot walk about of an in-flight move. (Though one time I nearly did, Shelly Long and Better Milder in the same movie is a BAD idea).
I'm not sure where I'm going with this now my time is limited. My blogging time has been reduced since they took the work PC away from me, and I now have to leave for work. I hope to have my shit back together soon.

Give me my money back.
I read this today and I thought WOO HOO. It's about frigging time that someone told the tax man to go to hell. The government is finally being told to smarten up and think with their heads instead of their wallets. Personally I blame the whole thing on Sheila Copps.
I'm sick of being paying a "piracy tax" every time I buy blank CD's or DVD's. Then they did the same thing to MP3 players until the Supreme Court said NO!!!
What I love is how the government figures that they can do whatever the hell they want. Tax this and tax that just because they feel like it. Now the Supreme Court says that they cannot tax my technology. SCREW YOU CRIA. SCREW YOU SOCAN.
What really pisses me off is how it's assumed that I'm guilty beforehand. I go out to buy blank media and the government assumes that I'm doing something wrong. If I purchase a MP3 players, then I must be downloading my music illegally. Does this mean that if you work for Revenue Canada, then you must be an asshole? Actually they usually are, but that's besides the point. I refuse to be considered a criminal, simply because I own a device that allows me to download and listen to MP3's.
Why does the government feel a need to tax new technology that gives power to the consumer? Is there a piracy tax on my DVD Burner or my PVR. I could potentially use it to copy television programs.
I think we should all keep a closer eye on these government weasels before they cause more damage.

Thank you Harvey, from the bottom of my heart.
Today, just before I headed to work, a courier dropped off something for me. I thought it was something from Microsoft. Some ubergeek beta software or something like that, but instead it was from Harvey. Thanks Harvey, it was really nice to receive your gift.
Now you're wondering, what the heck I am talking about. Ok here goes. Harvey was one of the owners for the company that I currently work for. Harvey is a people person who always took the time to say hello. Listen to my concerns and at the same time. I was always will and able to help him out with any small items that he needed taken care of.
Recently he choose to sell off his half of the company to his brother and do something else. I believe he decided to take the time to enjoy life. Anyway, he lives in Toronto and I only had the opportunity to see him a few times a year, as a result, I never had the opportunity to wish him well after the news of him leaving the company was made public to the employee's..
I honestly hadn't thought of him much, as I dwelled in my own issues, but then I received his gift. Now I ask,.what business owner would take the time to send a former employee (I say former because he quit), living half way across the country, a token of appreciation.
Harvey, you never cease to amaze me. You're a good man and I wish you well and thank your for thinking about me. Even now, I feel honored that you took the time to do this. You will always have my undying respect.

You will be missed Peter Jennings.
I’m sitting down here and I was browsing around, looking for something to write on and I found something that stopped me clicking in my tracks. Peter Jennings is dead. I always though that Peter was a great journalist and a fine Canadian. Yes he’s was born here.
I remember watching this segment on TV about “Successful Canadian” and they were talking to him. Talking about how he loved his work, but there was a special place in his heart for Canada.
To be honest, I’m still a little shocked by this news. No more ABC World News Tonight with Peter Jennings. With the recent retirements of Tom Brokaw and Dan Rather, now we’ve seen a full “changing of the guards” for Network News anchors but I didn’t want it like this.
You will indeed be missed Mr. Jennings.

The Sheep made me do it
(Please note: YEAH. I'm lazy and did the cut/paste thing, SO WHAT !!!)
This is supposed to be a way to meet your neighbors, so just as you would in real life, try to think of people I would like to meet. And the same goes for the next people down the line.
Choose people that the person who selected you would enjoy meeting/reading and that might enjoy each other as well. Just copy/paste this meme and post it to your blog changing the answers for the bolded questions.
First, pick 5 neighbors to introduce me to who will then introduce us all to 5 other neighbors: Jay, Vics, Buttercup, April, Letti
Next, always leave TongueTyed on the list as a 6th neighbor (she wants to see how far this Meme goes).
Now tell me about yourself neighbor!
When did you move to the neighborhood? About 2 years ago, I moved from another part of the city, but I had to move because the place went "condo". I've been in the city for about 7 years
What region of the neighborhood are you from? Alberta (That's Wild Rose Country).
What is your favorite part of our neighborhood? It's somewhere where my strange and unique behavior is considered "normal"
What is your favorite place to visit 'round these parts? Check my links
Since I just moved into a new house, I might want to take a short trip to a local place or area. Where would you suggest in your region? Banff !!! About an hours drive west of the city. It's "God's country". Untouched by human development. It's just something people should see before they die.
Don't forget, the purpose of this meme is to meet new neighbors, so be sure to check out the homes of some of the ones you are introduced to!

I didn't meet her at Wal-Mart. OK !!!!
I heard that Wal-Mart had abandoned its single shoppers program. BIG SURPRISE!!!!. What single shoppers program? Well get this, Wal-Mart, in a bid to unite single people started this program where single shoppers meet other single shoppers. Sort of like the micro dating and other crap like that. I guess that Wal-Mart was trying to get into this fad but for some reason it didn’t work out.
Why didn’t it work? Well if you’re a young lady, looking for Mr. Right are you going to Wal-Mart to find him? I DON’T THINK SO. Why? BECAUSE ODDS ARE THAT THE GUY IS A CHEAP BASTARD !!!. If woman is smart and was going to be part of a single shopper program, she would go to some expensive place, not WAL-MART!!!
Here’s how I see it, I wouldn’t want to pick up someone from Wal-Mart. While odds are that she would be a nice person, there’s still the chance that I would end up at a trailer with her 3 kids while she’s in the bathroom, taking out her teeth !!!!! NOPE NOPE NOPE.
Personally, I don’t think that the idea is bad, its just that is was Wal-Mart is doing it. Now if Best Buy were doing this then I would be in heaven. The lovely lady and myself, falling in love with each other AND that 61 inch Rear Projection HDTV. That would be heaven. Now I only hope that one day I will meet Ms. Right and her HUGE TV.

NASA LIED TO US ALL
I found this today and I thought, cool. Google has a map of the moon. The map shows all the Apollo landing sites. They put it there in order to commemorate the moon landings. Something that I could see Google doing since they're the type of company that is interested in innovation and promoting past achievements and the lunar landing is one of those achievements. Then as I zoomed in closer on the map, I discovered a shocking truth. NASA has been lying to us the whole time. They never told us this, but Google now reveals the truth to us. THE MOON IS MADE OF CHEESE !!!!. Don't believe me? Then go to Google Maps and zoom in as far as you can go and see the horrific truth for yourselves.
