I pick up the phone to call one of our vendors, because a piece of hardware isn’t working properly. I look up the number, make sure that I have all the needed information and call…the wrong number. The first clue is when the other end answers, I hear moaning, and a woman saying “oh yeah”, and “spread my hips”. I quickly hang up, and take a moment to relax. Ok, this can’t be right, I told myself. Took a moment, and dialed the number again…again incorrectly, and once again was greeted by “Ohhh yeah”. I eventually dialed the right number and managed to talk to whom I was supposed to, but really. GEEZE.
I did finally figure out where I was misdialing, but I was really embarrassed. Hearing something like that in a work environment, really threw me off. This is a place of business not…for bomp bomp chica bomp. Last time I checked (and that was some time ago), those types of phone number were 900 numbers and not 800 numbers. I made a free call to a “oh yeah” line, at work.
Personally, I think those types of numbers are false advertisement. You call those numbers, and there’s some woman moaning like banshee, and that never happens so me. Wait, that might be my fault…I take it back. Those women on those phone lines sound exactly like the women I’ve had sex with. Those phone lines are dead on, and maybe I’m a big liar.
The whole thing still creeps me out. I shouldn’t be calling those lines at work, expect I wasn’t trying to call those lines. I can prove that it was a misdial. I’m far more discreet with my pervertness. It’s just another accident like the time, I accident went to the sex expo instead of the career fair.

The Clip of the Week (Including my commentary).
Normally I don't blog about a Clip of the Week, but this really pissed me off. So this week John McCain was suppose to be on Letterman, but cancelled at the last minute, saying that he had to go back to Washington to work on the fiscal crisis. Then we find out that McCain LIED about it. In fact during the taping of the show, they cut to a live feed of McCain, with Katie Couric, in a studio just a few blocks away. In fact McCain didn't fly back to Washington until Thursday.
Then the next day, in an interview with a McCain spokesperson Nicolle Wallace said that the campaign "felt this wasn't a night for comedy." When I heard this, the first worlds out of my mouth were CUNT!!! I was so outraged. There's been all this crap about Obama being an elitist, but look who's acting like an elitist now.
I admit that I'm biased on this because I'm a HUGE fan of David Letterman. I've even had the opportunity to sit in on a taping of his show once. I know certain things about Dave. He'll act dumb on the show, but he's a very smart man. So smart, that he was the ability to manipulate the media with little effort. Remember the Oprah/Letterman bit? There were calls nationally for Oprah to appear on the show, and she eventually caved. Dave is going to shame McCain into showing up and apologizing. Personally I hope Dave doesn't have him on the show until AFTER the election.
Also, the McCain campaign acted like Letterman wasn't able to conduct serious interviews. Meanwhile in the past 2 weeks, Letterman's guests included Barack Obama on September 17th and Bill Clinton of September 22rd. Former President Bill Clinton was on the show 2 days before the McCain snub.
On last thing, if Letterman's show is not to be taken seriously why did McCain announce his candidacy on that show in 2007?
This is really going to bite McCain in the ass. Dave being Dave isn't going to let up. He's going to hammer McCain till the election. Letterman does have a huge audience, and a lot of them are probably still undecided, but after what occurred, you think they'll vote for Obama? One last piece of history, many people that Richard Nixon's appearing on Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In was key to Nixon willing the 1968 election.
I honestly think that history will show that this move is what will lead to McCain loosing the election. Too bad dumb ass.

Leave Mr Happy Alone
Ok, once again, here’s one of those “where the hell did he find this out posts”. There’s a guy who is suing two doctors for cutting off his penis. Here’s the deal, the guy was going into surgery and they were suppose to do a “circumcision”, but instead they remove the whole thing. I guess the doctors don’t understand the meaning of “take a little of the top”. So apparently, the doctor found something to indicate cancer on his deal and they decided to “remove the threat”.
I hope they guys loose, and loose big time. I don’t care who the hell you are. You DO NOT CUT OFF MR HAPPY WITHOUT CONSENT. They claim that they found caner cells while performing the circumcision, so they decided right there and then, to cut the guy’s Wang off, while he was still under. How arrogant can these people be?
I’ve probably blogged about this before but here goes. Despite every accomplishment a man makes. From building a birdhouse to the largest structure in the world, it all comes down to his penis. The CN Tower in Toronto is actually a huge phallic symbol. It originally wasn’t suppose to have the antenna about the observation bulb, and there were suppose to be 2 large bulbs at the base of it, to represent the boys. Also it was the CN Tower, one of Canada’s national railways and they were all into the “Trains going into Tunnels” thing.
The point, I’m making here (no pun intended, maybe), that each man defines themselves by their Mr. Happy. It’s part of our identity, and some doctor shouldn’t just go cutting the damn thing off, without his consent. After all, is a man, a man, if he doesn’t have a Mr. Happy? So from now on, if I ever have to go into surgery, I’m going to tie a note to my Mr. Happy that says, “DO NOT REMOVE, AND I MEAN THE PENIS, or I’LL SUE YOUR ASS OFF”

I want my HDTV dammit
I’ve become a real HD snob as of late. I want HDTV content on my pretty big ass TV. I want HD channels but I refuse to get cable TV from Shaw Cable…because I hate them, and I don’t think it’s worth paying all that money for the few channels that I do watch. I can’t get a dish because my apartment doesn’t have a balcony, and I’m facing the wrong side of the building, and Telus TV doesn’t have enough HD channels to make it worth my while. So I’ve been downloading my HD content via the Internet. Normally this isn’t a problem, but last night it got UGLY.
Yesterday, I downloaded the first two episodes of the new season of Heroes. I was really excited about watching them, but the quality turned out to be crap. There were a lot of pixelazation issues. (that’s when everything turns onto little boxes), and it looked like crap. I also checked Global’s website (we get Heroes on Global, as well as NBC in Canada), while I could watch it streaming, I couldn’t get a full screen. So I was pissed, and ended up watching the subpar version of the show.
Normally, I’m more interested in the story than how pretty a picture (I know, it doesn’t make sense, if I’m a HD content nut), but the quality was so bad that it was preventing me from enjoying the show. I’ve watched many TV shows through my computer, both downloaded and streaming, but this was friggin awful. I’m sure it would have looked better on an Ipod screen but COME ON. I just need to get the additional shows from somewhere else.
Honestly, I would prefer a legal way to enjoy my shows, but a lot of times, the US networks block the video for me since I’m in Canada, and while CTV is making strides with their streaming video, Global won’t give me a full screen.
I know, that to most people, this seems silly, but as someone who used to work in TV, I take my TV very seriously. I’m tired of all the crap, that I have to do to watch my TV shows legally, so downloading them through Bit Torrent is the only way, but dammit, make those versions good.
Also, for the record, the shows that I like, I usually end up buying the box sets after. I admit there’s some I haven’t purchased YET, like Smallville, but I have bought whole seasons of Battlestar Galatica, Eureka, Firefly, Rescue Me, Jericho, Pink and the Brain, Heroes, Birds of Prey,and a few more. I do have Smallville, That 70’s Show and Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and a crapload of Star Trek stuff, on my “to buy list”, so while I’m not “buying” the episodes when they come out, I am buying the box sets.
Alright, this whole post when all over the friggin place and I don’t remember what my point was….Oh yeah. NO CRAPPY VIDEO ON THE INTERNET.

Yadda Yadda Huh.
Once again, I have no idea what to blog about. Normally I would write something on Microsoft Word and then "cute and paste" it over the the blogger client (yes I said client, how computer techy of me), but today I'm throwing caution to the wind, as opposed to breaking wind, which is something else entirely.
Maybe, I'll blog about fart jokes. Just to do something different, but I'm bound to offend someone. Even if I were to do my favorite, "Big Chief, No Fart" joke. You know, I haven't thought of that
****
I had to go away to do some work related stuff. Imagine that. Seriously, I'm not sure what to blog about. I've been so busy, that I only took half of my lunch. It was around 12:30 when my phone wouldn't stop ringing, so I said, "screw it", and went back to work. While working is a good thing, after all, it's what they pay me to do. The problem is that, my creativity suffers because of it. No time to research and interesting story, no time to get pissed off by something I read on the Internet. No time for anything really.
I think I need a laptop, so I can blog wherever I want to. Get an idea, whip out the laptop and blog away. My PC is 4 years old but it still does what I need it to do (play City of Heroes, and download smut...I mean visit Facebook), so I don't feel a need to get a new PC.
*****
It's now late at night. I should be going to bed, but I feel a need to finish this post. I'm not sure what I'm trying to accomplish here. I know that I'm not going to end this post with something special. All I can think of saying is "If someone asks you to pull their finger, don't do it".

I don't pervy blog ...much
Ok first thing, I heard from my friend, so I feel much better; a huge sigh of relief on my part. So I just wanted to get that out of the way.
Now I that I’ve slacked on the blogging all week, I need to come up with a topic….mmmm, what to write about. This is what I’ve noticed, I usually get more comments when I talk about things that are sex related. Recently when I blogged about the Aussie who was raped by he cougar, I got a fair amount of comments, so I’m thinking that I should blog about sex. I’ve even gotten that advise from a certain person who gets a lot of traffic on her blog, and she’s also enjoying her says as a single woman again.
Here’s the problem, when women talk about sex, men love it, and women tend to laugh about it. Oh sure, there are a few uptight fuddy diddies who seriously need to lighten up. My theory is that, they’ve never had a real orgasm before, so they should blame the men they’re with, but when men talk about sex, men are all. “DO HER”, and women generally get disgusted. That’s why I’m not comfortable talking about my “boob fetish” on my blog. Yes I know, all men have a boob fetish, but I need to keep my eyes from wondering sometimes.
Women can get away with more in my opinion. Grown women sitting on Santa’s lap, stuff like that. Men have to be all tough and act like “they have huge balls”. That’s why they don’t cry. Their balls are too big.
I don’t really like to blog about sex, because people would see me as a sick pervert, which I am, but I don’t want everyone to know about it. I don’t blog about my porn surfing and things like that because…they don’t exist. Did I mention that I’m a big fat liar? Sure I’ll blog about sex related thing, but I would never blog about my actual exploits. Oh, and the fact that I’m a Can’tGetNoSexual has nothing to do with it.
In all honesty, I’m more of a greedy bastard than a horny bastard. I’m more interested in money than sex. I love money, to I can have “stuff” and have the ability to do what I want. Sex could lead you to not having money, and I mean an “accident” during sex will lead to a kid, and you will never have money again. There’s there are the “creative” ones who buy gels, toys, whips, leather, weed whackers. You get the point.
I’m sure I’ll blog about sex related stuff again. After all, there’s a world of cougars out there, and they will strike again soon, on some poor unsuspecting male.

Why I freaked out on Saturday
Saturday night I posted a freak out of a post. My mind was racing 100km/h in ever which direction. I guess I should try to clear some things but, but without giving out too many details. I’m sorry, but my friend is very protective of her privacy, and I will respect that, no matter what happens.
So Saturday night, I was at a virtual dance party on City of Heroes, when someone asked me if I knew this person, to which I replied yes. I considered this person to be a friend. I answered yes, and he told me the news about my friend. I’m not going to go into details of the privacy thing, but she’s in bad shape, really bad. I don’t even know if she’s alive at this point, and this news is weeks old.
I’ve had many people tell me, that they thought some really things about me. People have formed mostly positive opinions about me (I’m sure there’s someone out there who thinks I’m a jerk). I’m pretty sure she thought positive things about me, because she shared some things with me, including …stuff I’m not going to talk about. I’ve always respected other people’s privacy, and I always treat people the way I would expect to be treated. Maybe, that’s the reason why we got along so well.
I’m not going to go into details over what happened, but I knew that she was seriously ill. I also knew in the back of my mind that what was happening, was possible. I just refused to acknowledge it. I did want to admit to myself that my friend could…I can’t say that word. I just feel that if I say it, then it will be true. I WILL NOT SAY THAT WORD.
I’ve made a lot of online friends over the years, and I’m chatted with them on IM, spoken with them on the phone, and made plans to meet them face to fact (but that hasn’t happened yet). There never were plans to meet face to face with this person for privacy reasons, and again, I respected them. I always thought that perhaps one day, we might meet, but I figured that it would be her choice. I would never pursue the idea, because the last thing I would ever want to do, was hurt her, but now she might be gone.
The worst thing right now is that I don’t know. I don’t know is she’s alive or…(I’m not saying). It’s the fact that I’m don’t know that’s the worse thing. I need to know what happened. It’s the fact that I don’t know that’s the worst.
I would like to thank Jay for her concern for me. I’ve always had nothing but good things to say about her, and she took the time to check on me after my freak out. I just wanted to say thanks.
At this point, there isn’t much else to say, so.

IT'S NOT FAIR!!!
I have an online friend, who's really sick right now. Last I heard, she...well those details aren't anyone's business, so I'll respect her privacy.
I'm really freaking out right now, and I'm just typing to find a way to get ...something out. I don't know. I'm really scared right now. This person never did anything wrong, but instead lead a life of suffering, for no reason. Why are evil people in the peak of health and my friend...
I've always wanted to meet her, but that wasn't ever going to happen. She was extremely protective of her privacy and for good reason. This was something that I respected, and I always would honor her wishes, and now...
I honestly don't know what I'm trying to accomplish here. I really don't. I just learned the news less than 10 minutes ago and my thoughts are all over the place. I feel...helpless and I hate that feeling. About a year ago, another online friend went through some hard times, and in this case I did something to help her, but my City of Heroes friend...I feel so helpless. I hate feeling helpless.

Need to get myself in gear.
I have a confession to make. I’ve all but ignored Space Station Anime for 8 months now. I’ve been letting the site run on autopilot since February. Not a good way to run an e-commerce business is it. Even after I gotten paying customers to the site and made money, I never updated the site. I didn’t update the Google or Yahoo ads. I just let thing s run on their own. That’s going to change.
This week I’ve started adding new products to the site this week, and I’m going to go back to marketing the thing. It’s so bad that I forgot my username and password to my Yahoo Marketing account. I had to dig through old e-mail to find my username, so I could reset my password.
I think it was a combination of concentrating on finding a new job, and the joy of the new job that I haven’t worked on the website for some time. I spend so much time, working find a new job, and when I found a new job, I was shocked that I was making so much more. So much that I thought that, the old company was a bunch of cheap skates (actually, I thought that already, but I did hit pay dirt with the new company).
Well now, that I’ve been with the company for 3 months, and I’m doing well, I’d still like to be able to do more. I’ve been pondering quitting the second job at Safeway, but, I still like the idea of getting that extra income. The more I thought about it, the more I thought “why the hell am I not promoting the website more”. So I’m back with Space Station Anime.
Something else occurred to me. There are marketing people here and some of the things they do is work on promoting the company website. So now I’m thinking, that why can’t I pick these guys brains for getting tips on promoting my site? So at this point, I’ve back working on the site.
Actually even though the site has been on autopilot for awhile, I’m getting decent traffic, anywhere from 5 to 15 hits a day. Sure I’ve only had a few customers, but there’s no reason why I can’t continue to work on this and more importantly, get more visitors and eventually more customers.
Anyway, I once again have direction. Every once in a while, I tend to get off track. Maybe it’s a ADD thing or perhaps it’s just….oh shiny thing.

Something else occurred to me. There are marketing people here and some of the things they do is work on promoting the company website. So now I’m thinking, that why can’t I pick these guys brains for getting tips on promoting my site? So at this point, I’ve back working on the site.
Actually even though the site has been on autopilot for awhile, I’m getting decent traffic, anywhere from 5 to 15 hits a day. Sure I’ve only had a few customers, but there’s no reason why I can’t continue to work on this and more importantly, get more visitors and eventually more customers.
Anyway, I once again have direction. Every once in a while, I tend to get off track. Maybe it’s a ADD thing or perhaps it’s just….oh shiny thing.

The should have seen this coming
There’s a new Bollywood moving coming out that making some noise. Now I’m not a fan of Bollywood movies. In fact I tend to avoid them like the plague, because I’m not interested in watching people jump from behind bushes and dance. It’s also no secret that Bollywood tends to borrow heavily from Hollywood. Just watch Indian Superman to see what I mean. So anyway, a Bollywood company is releasing …wait for it…Hari Puttar: A Comedy of Terrors. Send in the Lawyers.
I’m sorry, but I don’t care if the name Hari Puttar is fairly common in India, someone had to see this coming. Warner Bros has made BILLIONS from the Harry Potter franchise and there’s no way in hell that they were sit by and let this happen. The Hari Puttar movie even takes place in England, so you cannot tell me that this was a complete coincidence. They knew what they were doing.
Now their argument is that the movie doesn’t have wizards and magic in it. In fact the plot is more like Home Alone than Happy Potter,(maybe 20th Century Fox should sue) but really someone with half a brain should have clued in that the title might piss off Warner Bros. These days large entertainment companies have packs of wild lawyers on retainer, and the company head regularly “release the hounds” on anything that potentially endangers their bottom line. Remember this is an industry that sues disables single mothers by claiming that their 6 year old daughters are illegally downloading Gansta Rap.
I’m normally against Hollywood pushing the little guy, but Bollywood isn’t the little guy these days. In fact they’re a major player in the film industry with people like Wil Smith starting to work with them, so I just see it as one file studio suing another, and that happens all the time. It’s happening over the new Watchmen movie coming out early next year. I’ve just never seen something so blatant before. Well there was the Indian Superman. So ok Bollywood, change the name of that movie and please…enough of the banshee like singing and the constant dancing. They already made Grease the move, and a sequel.

That doesn't go there.
Once again, I was unable to find something to blog about. I had couple of false starts. One was about the passing of Don LaFontaine. (You know, the movie trailer guy who’s famous for starting his reads by saying “In a world” He will be missed). Then I thought about blogging about…myself. Crazy I know. I’ve had people tell me that they really don’t know me, but again, I thought that was crazy talk. Then I learned about a stripper who has been charged with raping the best man at a bachelor party.
So the woman allegedly stuck a vibrator up the best man…HELLO. What I want to know is why this woman thought this was a good idea? I know that 1 in 10 men are suppose to like that, but with 1 in 10 odds, those same odds were stacked against you lady. Was she having a bad day and had the urge to “give some back”, or perhaps he was talking with a lisp and she misinterpreted it. Maybe he was one of the 1 in 10, but dammit, you don’t do that in public lady. It’s Ned Beatty in Deliverance all over again.
I really feel for the guy. I really do, because when I fly to Chicago next fall, I’m probably going to be in the line where the guy is behind on his body cavity searches and is going to pick me to make his quote. Well actually I’m pretty sure that won’t happen considering the last time I flew to the US. I went through the US customs process in the Canadian airport, so I expect the same thing will happen this time.
Seriously though, how man women out there want to stick a vibrator up a man’s..HELLO? I used to have a kinky girlfriend, but I made it very clear, that I didn’t want that kind of treatment. So perhaps the stripper might have thought to ask…”Would you like it if I were to stick this vibrator in your HELLO”? It is my understanding that the vast majority of women aren’t interested in this kind of action, so why the hell did this woman think that he would? Maybe because she’s a COUGAR!!!
Did I mention that she’s 39? A 39-year-old stripper. I guess if she still wants to do it, and that she has the body, then I’m all for it. Actually this might be his fault after all. He got onstage with a COUGAR and cougars are dangerous. I think I need to commission a study here. Are younger stripper more or less likely to stick a vibrator up a man’s HELLO than a Cougar stripper. I’ll get to work on the grant application.

Welcome Isabelle
I just heard via Facebook that Vics, a blogger friend of mine since late 2004/early 2005 has given birth to a little girl, named Isabelle. Well according to the father, I haven’t confirmed it with the person who actually gave birth to the child, but I have a feeling that she’s not up to blogging, or changing me status message on Facebook right now. Anyway I’m really happy for Vics.
While I’m a third of the planet away, (she lives in the UK) so I haven’t had the opportunity meet Vics, her bloke or the new addition, but I do feel like I’ve known them forever (well not the newborn). Actually I’ve been chatting her her online since before she and the bloke got together, and based what I know about him…she’s in such trouble.
I remember one time when I called (actually I haven’t spoken to her in some time and need to do something about that), he answered. Asked for her, and he politely asked who I was, and I told him, to which he replied, one he realized it was me that “Vics was doing her monthly bath, and it was good thing too because she was ripe”. It was at that point when I realized that she found a real winner. During the conversation, I could also hear him screaming “Baboon” in the background, where he allegedly runs round with his pants half down to reveal how “cheeky” he really is. I’ve since received more evidence of this when I sent them Stampede Bandannas last year, to which Stef drew a picture on my Graffiti app on my Facebook page. The picture was of him and Vics wearing the bandannas. Stef in the picture had the back part of his pants down and had a baboon ass.
I haven’t seen pictures of the baby, yet, but I’m sure the proud father will be taking them, and posting them soon. I look forward to seeing them and I’m praying that child looks like her mother. Though I’m sure that dad and baby will have the same hair for a little while.
Even thought I haven’t meet either of these people, and that we’ve only spoken to each other on the phone a handful of times, I do look forward to meeting them face to face. I’m planning a trip to the UK in 2010, probably in the late summer, or early fall. Sure I’d like to go sooner, but I do have a prior commitment next August in Chicago. The probably means that I’m be around when Isabelle hits the “terrible twos”. I’ll probably stay in a hotel across town.

A Teddy Bear Phone?
As predicted, no one was impressed with the giant nose shampoo gel dispenser. Also, as predicted, people weren’t impressed with the shower breast, but I’ve found something that will make everyone happy. I bring to you the Teddy Bear cell phone. Well I didn’t actually invent it, but you get my meaning.
When I saw this, I thought, Ok people are going to walk around with teddy bears next to their ears. Is this a good thing? Are young women going to walk around carrying teddy bears? Will the bear scream when you inset the SIM card? I admit it’s cute, and in Asia, cute is a big thing, but I would this take off over here in North America? Sure there’s the Hello Kitty crowd but really?
I know that a lot of “cute” stuff comes out of Japan. They live for it. Women are encouraged to talk with a high-pitched voice, because it’s considered “cute”, but dammit, this cute thing will go too far eventually. Let’s look at Pokemon. Pikachu is cute. Even the way he only says his name is cute. Everything about the critter is cute.
I’ve read that the “phone” will sell for $500. $500 for a teddy bear cell phone? Not so cute anymore. Also it has 4 speed dial options depending on which paw you squeeze. Also, you answer and hang up by pressing the tail. I don’t know about you, but if I feel pressure round my “tail” area. Someone is going to their asses kicked. I’m just waiting for the headline about the bear mauling someone.
I’m not a fan of this thing, but I am looking forward to seeing people using it. I just hope they don’t walk around while talking, because it going to obstruct someone’s vision, and they could get hit by a car.

Let's just throw maturity out the window.
A part of me has always wanted my blog to be relevant and respected, in today’s digital age. A website where many people come to value my opinions. Another part of me wants this blog to be part of my true nature. Guess which side of my brain wanted the ice-skating monkeys posted?
Ok let’s just be honest, throw the respected out the window and be done with it. I’ve just found the coolest/most disgusting thing ever. It’s a giant nose that dispenses shower gel. Seriously you poke the nose and green (yuck) gel comes out of the nostril. I know it’s absolutely disgusting, but I WANT THIS.
Actually, I’d like to have it at work and have it dispense Purell hand sanitizer instead. Ok it would be clear, but it still would look yucky. It would freak everyone out, and I would love it. In fact, whenever a female coworker comes in to ask me for something, I would be “hold on, I need to clean my hands first” and take the nose and rub the goop all over my hands. I guess I’m still 9 years old mentally.
Well maybe a little older because I would put the Shower Breasts in my shower. So I guess, I’m a perverted 9 year old, mentally.
