SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM

I received this e-mail today. It told me that I could buy my drugs from Canada for 70% Off of what I normally pay. WOO HOO ! ! ! Except for one thing. I LIVE IN CANADA ! ! ! ! I am getting sick and tired of receiving spam for offers from FREE IPOD and Mac Mini's to a better mortgage rate and on the bottom of EVERY E-Mail it says "Offer good for "U. S. Residence only". If this offer is good for U. S. residence only then why the hell are you e-mailing this crap to me.

It's bad enough that I'm getting spam from "another country" but after I waste my time with it, to discover that I couldn't use this service even if I wanted to is really annoying. It's like TIVO not being available in Canada. We need to use PVR's from our "Cable or Satellite provider" (Good thing I have one, thank you Expressvu).

One thing I like about being Canadian is how prices seem to be higher for everything. Now I do understand issues with the exchange rate but the Canadian dollar has gained in value lately, (now hovering in the mid/low 80 cent range) but items, like electronic products have not gone down in price from when the dollar was in the low 70 cent mark. It's coming to the point that it would be cheaper for me to go across the border and buy it myself.

Then again Canadian internet pharmacies seem to be doing well right now with people from across the border buy our "cheaper" drugs, even Homer was doing it. One thing I found funny was that some people think that the drugs aren't safe, like were making them in our "Igloos" or something, when in fact they come from the U. S. The reason that they are cheaper up here is simple, PRICE CONTROL. The Canadian government regulates how much a drug company can charge for its product so that consumers cannot get gouged.

Though I should be grateful for some things, like movies being released in Canada at the same time as the U. S. I hear that they tend to come out later in other parts of the world. The same thing with music CD's, videogames and software. Apparently every other industry considers Canada to be the same market as the U. S. (except they have to slap a bilingual label on whatever they try to sell up here, though I usually throw away the "French" instructions.

Now that I think about it, the Canadian government is just as much at fault in allowing me to be marginized. It's the CRTC fault that I cannot get HBO, and a whole load of U. S. cable TV services. In fact, they made it "illegal" for me to own a U. S. satellite receiver. They also have a firm hold on what channels I can watch. Only recently has Fox News been available in Canada (but not through Expressvu yet). I look forward to the day in the near future when I will get my TV through my IP and the CRTC will have NO CONTROL over what I watch.

Well I can accept everything else right now but for now, STOP SPAMING ME ABOUT THE FREE IPOD.

I don't want to touch it but I have to. I hope its clean.

Oh sure now something like this ends up in my lap. Just great. I can picture Vics grining while I write up this dildo thing, Anyway it was passed to me and now its my turn to pass it on

1. Have you ever used toys or other things during sex?

I'm a big fan of chocolate sauce grin

2. Would you consider using dildos or other sexual toys in the future?

I would consider anything that would give the woman I'm with "Pleasure"

3. What is your kinkiest fantasy you have yet to realize?

Good question, I'm more into greed than lust but a kinky fantasy would be a zero G threesome.

4. Who gave you this dildo?

Vics, I think she's enjoying the fact I'm squirming through all this.

5. Who are the ones to receive this dildo from you?

LdyPayne but I doubt it that she will do it, She's extremely stuborn when it comes to anything like this.

Dumb Ass or Smart Ass, I can't decide

I recently heard about this guy who rented out his forehead for advertising space on Ebay. I cannot find the words to describe my feeling on this so I’m going to simply say WTF???

First of all, this guy isn’t a great catch to begin with. He actually looks dorky if you ask me. Secondly, he now has to walk around with the logo on his forehead for a month. A WHOLE MONTH with the words SNORE STOP on your forehead.

Now that I think about it, it could have been a lot worse. What if the highest bid was for Trojans or Tampax.? Sure this guy would have around for a month with these words on his head. Personally I wish I were rich so I could have placed a bid and forced him to wear the word Diarrhea or something like that. Actually he was smart in the fact that he did say that it had to be tasteful so there went the idea for “I’m a dumb ass”.

Now some people are saying “This guy is a smart entrepreneur” well I think he’s no better than a WHORE. He’s selling his body so as far as I’m concerned, he’s no better than a streetwalker.

Then I was wondering how much did he get for doing this and its $37,375. Ok, now I’m thinking, I wonder how much Google or Pepsi will pay me for putting their logos on my head. Then again, I still never got anything from Pepsi for this blog. Then again, nearly $40K to do that?

Our topic is topics eh

I've chatted with some friends recently. People I know in real life who have started blogging after reading mine for awhile and I'm starting to notice something. These people cannot think of a thing to write about so their blog just sits idle with no one visiting it. In fact one blog has a post about not knowing what to blog about.

Maybe it's just me but I usually can come up with something. I look through a newspaper or a news site to get an idea. Sometimes it's a TV show or another blog (That pic of Vics in the straightjacket is just begging to be written about).

While a blog is a way to write about yourself or your experiences, there is no reason to limit yourself to talking about what you experienced that day. People can choose to reveal something about themselves, like how I admit to being a fanboy geek but I'm also so much more.

We as individuals have so many sides to ourselves and we can turn to any one of those sides in order to come up with anything to talk about. Here's another secret. I HATE BIG MACS When I go to MacDonalds, I never order the things. The special sauce makes them too sweet and I want my hamburger to taste burgery (is that a word? ) and not sweet.

I know of people with multiple blogs (including me) and they save different topics for different blogs but if you only have one blog then go nuts. Write about politics, your last meal, describe the noise your toilet makes when you flush it. ANYTHING.

I remember on SCTV, when they had the GREAT WHITE NORTH skit on, some of the topics the Mackenzie brothers were bad but at least they had something. I remember when their topic was snow chains and Doug just dropped some snow chains on the table and said "There they are eh". It was a beauty topic.

As you may or may not have figured out by now, this post is meant for these people. Oh and to anyone else to reads this, can you come up with some ideas to motivate these new bloggers, I'd really appreciate it.
