It gets from bad to worse

I had this post that I was working on when there was a knock at my door. It was the new landlord telling me that I had 3 months to GET OUT. Now I have to find a new place to live. This really blows.

A moments rest

I'm still here. It's just that work has been so busy lately. There's not enough time in the day lately. I guess that's what happens when you take a Friday (even after you go in on Saturday for a few hours).

I wish I had some words of wisdom or something like that. All I have is a Piggy Bank in the form of a goat. A gift from Erin. I will have a picture of the little guy up this week.

I'm glad that Stef managed to get a couple of hours in City of Heroes despite Vics attempts to stop him and oh Jay, IS THERE NO PLEASING YOU !!!!! *SOB*

I'll have something more profound next time.

Old Friends

I’ve been blogging for awhile now. Ok now I have this image of myself in a rocking chair talking about the ‘good ole days’. Anyway I’ve blogged about different topics and I’ve had different people make comments. Some have been around for a long time, some not so long, and I appreciate all of you. However I want to talk about a couple of former blogger who I don’t hear from anymore. Hugh and Brandie.

Hugh was an interesting person. She was very creative and I believe she was even studying to be a screen writer. She would leave great comments and she even started the infamous Goat post. Basically it started when she and Vics were staying at my place according to the comments left. They were fighting over who slept on the couch and that sort of thing. Then there was a party where my place was utterly destroyed and my appliances were painted. Hugh blamed it on ‘The Goat’ and the Goat took a life all its own. It was things like that, that made hug so much fun. She spoke about he swimming and how she like geeks. I miss you Hugh.

I also miss Brandie. I miss hearing about how her parents were trying to brainwash her by having Fox News on the TV at full blast in the morning before she woke up. I enjoyed reading about her life in her all girls college or university. She always thought I was nuts which brought her back again and again. She even came back late last year for a visit. Sigh. I do miss her.

Now this doesn’t mean I don’t appreciate my current regulars. Far from it. I appreciate every visit and every comment, but this post was for people who don’t come around here anymore.

Jello saved me

Good news everyone. I found the cure to the January blaa. It’s Jello. Yes I said Jello. On Monday I felt the sudden urge for Jello, and I bought packs of Orange Jello, took them home, boiled some water, poured it into the Jello mix along with some cold water. Let set overnight and I felt so much better.

Maybe the Jello brought me back to a simpler time where I didn’t have to work about things like responsibilities. Instead I just needed to worry about my cartoons, my toys and other simple things (ok maybe things aren’t all that different between then and now, except for the added responsibilities.). Maybe the sight of Jello jiggling reminds me of boobs and boobs always make me smile (that’s my inner perv talking). Maybe it’s just a moment’s peace in my blaa blaa world. Either way, Jello has given me a moment’s peace.

Remember folks, in today’s hectic world, there’s always room for Jello.

I'm tired and stuff

I feel so tired lately. I’m chalking it up to the January blues. The good news is that I booked Friday off so it’s going to be a short week. Too bad it’s not going to be a good week. Yesterday was the worst for me. I wandered around at work. I did a few things that had to be taken care of and then I went home. After I got home, I made a few phone calls to some family and friends and went to bed at 7:00pm. Oh did I mention that yesterday was my birthday?

I’ll tell the truth, I didn’t care at all that it was my birthday. I sure as hell didn’t want to mention it to anyone. I just didn’t feel like celebrating. Not to mention that there’s only a handful of people at work I would like to hang out with anyway. Most are indifferent and a few I want to strangle. That’s why I didn’t want to celebrate yesterday. Oh for the record, he WON’T SHUT UP.

Now that I think about it, it’s shocking that my lack of energy hasn’t resulted in my apartment turning into a pigsty. I have managed to keep my place decent. I wish I could say the same for the new landlords. The new landlords officially bought the building on the 9th and things are starting to go downhill. There’s garbage in the stairways and the hot water issue is now on day two.

The worst part is that I’m starting to feel grim and people are starting to notice it. Then again, some people are kinda rude about making me waste my time. People who call and tell me something is an emergency, then make me wait for them pisses me off. I now have a 5 minute policy. If they don’t speak to me about an issue after 5 minutes, I’m going to walk away.

I really don’t want my blog to turn into a grumpfest but there isn’t much else inside me right now. I want to talk about joyful things. Instead I feel nothing to fatigue and …..annoyance.

My Brain is tired.

I’m still bored. This is starting to get annoying. This cycle of glum that I’m been going through is start to really annoy the hell out of me. I’m starting to think that I need a new …something.

Right now the new addition to my life is The Simpson’s Trivia calendar and let me tell you, while it’s a fun way to waste 10 to 15 seconds of my day; it’s not something that’s going to make a difference.

I was so bummed out and bored that I scrubbed out my refrigerator, so If insomnia hits me again this week this, I need to do my floors again. This doesn’t mean I don’t clean when I’m not trying to sleep. It just means I don’t put as much effort on my floors and such things.

I find myself want to redecorate my apartment. I’ve been checking out the IKEA website for a new bookshelf. Right now I have a big entertainment unit and I want to get rid of the thing. It has a 27in TV in it but it just fits. If I were to get a HDTV, I would be screwed.

Great, now I’m talking about interior decorating. I’m LAME !!!! SO LAME.

I must have something because right now even porno does seem to interest me. This must mean that I’m really sick or something.

I feel ready to take a nap right now, but I till have 4 hours to go before work. Oh the bright side, Ikea have the bookshelf I want in stock. Sigh. I’m pathetic.

Perhaps this desire the redo my living room is part of a need I have to redo my life. Change jobs…change appartmen…mmmm I smell steak……. Nevermind.

That’s it for me.

A quick post.

Its 15 minutes to quitting time and I don’t have enough time to come up with something creative or interesting so I’m just going to give you some quick links.

50 New Positions

Old School Videogame Characters made out of Lego

Now you too can play Deal or No Deal Online

Oh yeah last night I watched the second episode of Little Mosque on the Prairie. This show definitely has a Canadian flavor to it. Last night episode involves putting a barrier between the men and the women for when they pray. Of course the barrier turns out to be ‘the boards’ from an old hockey ring; only in Canada.

We’ll its time to go home.

Manhood

Ok the naughty bits are back. I found something ‘worthy’ of blogging about, so to everyone else, I’m sorry. There’s this doctor in Romania who threw a fit during surgery and delibratly cut his patients penis off and mutilating it, and storming off. The thought makes my ‘deal’ just shrivel up. After the doctor was sued and he’s being made to pay nearly $200,000 in damages, the Romanian Doctor’s union is saying that the amount awarded was too much. TOO MUCH? Are you kidding me?

Let’s get this straight, this doctor deliberated destroyed this guys manhood and is only awarded $200,000 and the Doctor’s union thinks that its too much? I got news for you. IT’S NOT ENOUGH PEOPLE. Even though the more ‘intellectual’ men will dispute this, a man self esteem is indeed defined by his penis. It’s that one piece of his anatomy that says “Yes I am a man”. Sure a guy can lift weights and do mainly stuff but at the end of the day, it’s that thing between his legs that defines his manhood, and this doctor deliberately destroyed his manhood.

The Romanian doctor’s union fears that this will set a dangerous precedent. Cut a man’s penis off is an act of rage and get sued? Doctor’s being held accountable for their actions? Doctor’s paying attention to what they are doing instead of worrying of their personal problems during surgery? Lord knows that we wouldn’t want that.

I'm no Tommy Tune (whatever that means)

I started to write a post but it was absolute crap. This from a guy who tends to write random things on his blog, but I do have standards.

On thing I’ve noticed is the return of the spelling error. I ‘m so into getting my thoughts onto the screen that I don’t seem to give a crap about anything else. I’ll try and watch for it but for now DEAL WITH IT.

I was surfing for something to write about when it hit me in the face. Dirty Dancing; The Musical. ARE YOU KIDDING ME??? Now I have a friggin headache.

For the record, I’ve never seen the movie but it looks like a chick flick and I have no desire to see a chick flick. I WANT TO KNOW WHO THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD IDEA!!!

Didn’t Lord of the Rings, the Musical close? That’s something I would have seen but, alas it wasn’t to be.

Now here’s an idea. Instead of doing Dirty Dancing, How about doing Star Wars: the original trilogy. The ‘I am your father’ number alone would be worth it, or maybe not.

Why is it that when I think of a musical I either think of that Buffy episode or Cop Rock. Oh and who the hell thought THAT was a good idea?

I need to confess something. Music is not my thing so I’m the last person who should be suggesting a musical. Though WWE The Wrestling Musical would be a train wreck worth seeing.

It's more Yadda Yadda today

Like is getting to be a little too boring. Once again, I find myself without a topic, so instead I sit at my desk thinking, I hope I can go home soon. It’s really cold out right now; were in the middle of an artic air spell and it’s supposed to last through the weekend.

I checked out Jess’s blog and she had a link to a story about 2 people who froze to death only 200ft from their homes because they were not wearing proper clothes. Unless these people were from the equator, they should have known better. I don’t feel any sympathy for them. As harsh as it sounds, they died because they were stupid. Any Canadian who does not bundle up in the winter deserves what they get. Even when the temperature was above normal, I STILL wore my winder jacket.

I’m starting to clock watch now and that is a bad sign. When this happens, then time moves a lot slower than I want it too. It just makes me want to scream. Enough already. LET ME GO HOME.

I’ve convinced that I’m starting to act really weird (even for me) lately. I’ve been drinking a lot of water lately. I hate drinking water because of the lack of any real taste, I neev flavour when I drink something but now I find myself filling up one of those 2 liter Big Gulp glasses with cold tap water and drinking that in an evening. Then I keep asking myself why I’m always peeing the next day. SHEESH.

Oh, good news/bad news. I haven’t scrubbed out my refrigerator which means I’ve been sleeping well. In fact last night I want to bed at 7:00pm for some reason. However I did wake up at 9:00pm and watched The Hour from the night before. Amy lee from Evanescence was on and I love her music and I think she’s hot

After that I caught an episode of some reality show called Armed and Famous. I’m not sure if I like it yet, but I plan to catch the next episode tonight. While seeing Jack Osbourne and Eric Estrada seems pretty cool, seeing Latoya Jackson cuffing someone is strange. Apparently tonight Ponch get really pissed at some guy who hit his wife. I’m looking forward to seeing the darker side of that guy as opposed to last night when the 75 year old drug dealer he busts turned out to be a fan of Chips. I tend to shun most reality shows but this one looks interesting.

I hear the ratings for the new Apprentice show are the lowest out of all Apprentices premieres. So friggin what? I’m sure that the rating will get better, At least I hope so, or they’ll move season 7 back to New York. I’m sorry but having Trump in LA just doesn’t make sense to me. Donald Trump is a staple of New York

You know I don’t think I’ve said the word ass yet and I think I’m overdue so ASS ASS ASS ASS ASS. It’s like the Futurama rule, Bender says ‘Shiny Metal Ass’ as least 3 times.

I guess that’s it for me. I’m drinking my water and I have a wart on my ASS,

I didn't meant to have that dream

I had a heck of dream last night. Were talking ‘WHOA’ here. However I realize that I owe someone an apology because of it. At the time, it was a good dream but now I feel like I did something wrong. Really really wrong. Last night I dreamt that I slept with someone on my Favorite Blogs list, though technically there was no sleeping involved.

I’m not going to say who it was, just that this person is female. Again, I feel bad about it now but I have to say one other thing, you were fantastic. This was some really wild sex. We’re talking animal instinct sex and you were incredible. Oh and you seemed to be enjoying yourself as well. What I really hate is the fact that I’ve forgotten most of the dream already but I do remember it being intense.

Again, I’ve very sorry about that, and I hope you can forgive me for dreaming about you in that manor.

....but I'm feeling much better now

Last night I had some sort of anxiety attack. I’m sitting on my couch, watch a Margaret Cho DVD and this wave of panic overcame me. I owe a shitload of money for my student loans. I owe so much that I’m over my head. I’m the 1 in 5 grads in Canada that’s in this situation, and some people are being fair about it, but last night I got this feeling that I will NEVER get this crushing debt paid off. I feel like that I’ll be paying this student loan FOREVER. I feel like that I’ll never get to enjoy life. I feel like I’m going to be trapped in this situation forever unless I do something drastic like turn to a life of crime or flee the country. I’ve actually considered one of those options, but getting my passport is going to be difficult right now with the long line of people trying to squeeze in before the Jan 23 deadline to so they can go into the U.S.

Maybe I’m feeling like that because I’m trapped because I don’t seem to see the sun anymore. Today sunrise was at 8:38am, and I was already at work, and sunset will be at 4:50pm and I get off of work at 4:30pm but I usually don’t leave until 4:45pm. That leaves me 5 minutes of sunlight a day. Did I mention that I really hate having to wake up before the sun? This morning I slept in big time but I still managed to get to work on time. Grrr. I wanted to be late. I wanted to say, FUCK YOU. The Sun’s not up so I’m not waking up either, but my misguided sense or responsibility managed to get me here on time.

I appear to be lacking a path here once again. Last night’s panic attack really got to me. Perhaps I should look for another job. I have some ‘experience’ now, so perhaps I could find a better paying position.

My life is boring; then again I’m not doing much to make it exciting. I was listening to a podcast about Windows Vista on my way to work today. BORING, but I need to know this stuff, I guess. So its not a podcasting about people fucking like rabbits but I’m not a horny bastard. I don’t have the interest anymore. Why do I have the feeling that this means I have one foot in the grave now? I think I seriously need a hug, or maybe I should become a scientologist. I think the hug is a better idea.

It's return of the Yadda Yadda

I couldn’t sleep last night. I just laid in my bed for hour after hour, so around midnight I did something. What I did was clean my bathroom and kitchen. I scrubbed the floors, I scrubbed my kitchen sink, my bathroom sink, my bathtub and I even cleaned my toilet. They way I figured it, at least I would have a nice clean bathtub waiting for me this morning. If this happens again, I’m going to scrub out my refrigerator.

Now I’m not sure what to talk about, but that hasn’t stop be before, has it?

Oh I discovered a new search engine today; a search engine with an attitude. I’m talking about Ms. Dewey. You type in your search term, you wait a bit and she gives you some spiel before the rather limited search results. This woman does have an attitude, so much so that found myself typing terms like …..well let’s put it this way, at one point she threatened to call the Justice Dept. Worth a look.

Time online did a bunch of top 10 list of 2006. The thing that interested me is in the topics of Podcasts, only 1 out of the 10 was something that I heard of, and of the top 10 TV shows, I only liked numbers 7 and 8. I should make my own top 10 lists of top 10 bullshits top ten lists. Out of their top ten websites, the only one I heard of was Newsvine. Where the hell was Digg? Ok I know most of you never heard of Digg., but then again, I bet you didn’t know about Newsvine either.

Oh there’s this new Canadian comedy airing tomorrow called Little Mosque on the Prairie. Its about Muslims who live in a small prairie town. I’ll give the show a chance. I saw preview where some of the characters were preparing to have an open house in the mosque and the main character was trying to convince his father that hey should change the welcome sign saying ‘Welcome Infidels’ to something else. Oh and the show was created by a Muslim woman. She’s trying to show that Muslims have a sense of humour. I wish her luck and that Canadians and Americans who live close to the Canadian border enjoys the show.

Lastly I want to know how long Rosie O’Donnell has been delusional. Now she thinks that Donald Trump is obsessed with her? Why isn’t it that she can’t keep her bleeping mouth shut. She has to piss everyone off. She was accusing Kelly Rippa as being a homophobe because she was mad that Clay Aiken put his hand over her mouth. Even other members of that View show said that it has nothing to do with gayness and Clay hasn’t come out of any closet. He might be a bit poofy, but that doesn’t mean he’s gay, or does it? Maybe Rosie’s gaydar is going off? Either way Rosie, SHUT THE FUCK UP !!!

Oh and I’m sorry for making all the children cry with the Celine Dion video.

Paris Hilton can bring World Peace

I sit in front of my PC thinking … and there is a 20 minute pause. Nothing comes to mind. I watch news channels and read other people’s blog and they have relevant things to say and all I can come up with is”are you pondering what I’m pondering? I think so brain but how are we going to get the nylons on the chickens”.

I’m a fairly smart individual, I will make that claim, and I see the events around the world and have my opinions, but for some reason I don’t have the will to write about them in a manor that others would find as dignified. Actually I think the last time I wrote something profound was back in 2005, in the Bad Catholic post.

I see myself more of the John Stewart/Stephen Colbert/Rick Mercer type of communicator. I try to use comedy to get my point across. The problem is that I SUCK AT COMEDY!!! Vics is constantly waiting to find out when the men with the straight jackets are coming to get me, though ironically, there are pictures of her in that situation. I was going to post a link but I’m sure she would have flown over here just to kill me.

I look at world and I can’t believe how people either take themselves too seriously or are unable to see that there are so messed up. I just love how Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad goes on about wiping Israel off the face of the earth and then without stopping for a breath, talking how Iran is developing Nuclear power for peaceful means. WHO ARE WE KIDDING HERE? I’m pretty sure that this guy doesn’t have a sense of humour.

This is what we need to do with these guys. We need to put them on a booze cruise. That’s right, get them loaded and get them to have a good time. While were at it, put Paris Hilton on that boat. It’s about time that skank did some good for mankind. Heck, Paris, plus Kim Jon Ill and a digital camera would do wonders in easing tensions in that part of the world. All these wackos need are a bunch of chocolate chip cookies and some milk and they will be fine. Maybe it’s just me but someone who is willing to strap a bomb to themselves and blow themselves up for their cause needs to get laid.

That’s it. Send them Paris Hilton people. She can save the world by doing the nasty with all theses terrorists types. She will do what she’s famous for and all these guys will relax and no more world tension. Who’s going to want to blow themselves up after getting laid? Heck I’d probably want more when I completely recover.

SOMEONE TELL THE UN TO SEND PARIS HILTON TO THE MIDDLE EAST RIGHT NOW!!!!

Buck Rogers is a slut

I’m back at work so the vacation is over. I guess the vacation from blogging is completed as well. Don’t get me wrong, there’s no one forcing me to blog but it just wasn’t in me. I even limited my City of Heroes playing (ok I’m a big fat liar there). However my life away from work was a big fat blank.

The main problem is that I’ve spent so much time between work and schooling, that I never had much time to make friends, and the people around here, at work I mean, aren’t really the type of people I wish to hang out at with. Actually, the only time I really got along with other coworkers was when I was in Toronto and those guys we IT as well. I still think that they are all a great bunch of guys. So basically, I have very few friends in the city.

One of the things I did do though was watch a most of the DVD’s from Buck Rogers and the 25th Century, and all I have to say is we’ve come a long way, since that crap. I don’t mean the special effects (though, that is also true), I mean the stories and character development. As I’m watching these episodes, I’ve come to a conclusion. Buck is a man whore. In almost every episode, we see Buck coming on to a different woman, while the old guy, the little robot and the hot babe sidekick just have this ‘oh that Buck’. How come we never the episode where buck get the ‘space clap’.

Also, half the episodes are just ‘space’ versions of normal stuff, like space vampires, or space rock and roll. LAME!!!! Now I understand why women were pissed off back then. If my gender was portrayed like that, I would be pissed too. Either way this show made my head feel like mush. IT’S BAD PEOPLE. If they decide to bring the show back like Battlestar Galatica, they had better use the NEW formula of giving the characters, and I mean all characters, depth and flaws. Even the Cylon babes have some depth.

Oh I hope everyone has a good new year, I spent mine sick in bed. I felt awful and had to keep a bucket by the bed, if you know what I mean. Being sick when your mommy isn’t around sucks.

Here’s to 2007, and I send my best wishes to all. Oh and if any Billionaires wish to send me a couple of million dollars my way so I can quit work and start investigating the real meaning of life, I’m appreciate it, because I know for a fact I’m not going to find it in my little office, fixing RF guns and doing all the other stuff I do.
