I want my hour of sleep back

(WARNING: I get a little preachy and political, I promise to tone it down till sometime in 2008)

I can’t wait to change my friggin clock back an hour. Mr. Bushy ripped of off of an hour’s sleep this week, when he moved the change the clock time back. I know this happened in the U.S. but Canada did it too, so that we’d be able to watch our shows at the same time, otherwise it would be a mess. Even in Canada, Mr. Bushy’s incompetence screws up my life. Now I know I’m Canadian were suppose to be polite but I can’t take this guy anymore. I’m sorry but anyone who would veto health care for children is a sick individual.

Now that last thing I want to do is start bashing the duly elected leader of my neighbor to the sound, but I keep hearing about bad things about this guy. I hear he has a 24% approval rating. He has his staff do illegally things, tries to hide it, and when he goes caught, he has a patsy take the rap and after he’s found guilty, he commutes the sentence. I mean really. I’m sorry, but this guy isn’t smart at all, and he seems to surround himself with even dumber people, so he can brag that he’s the smartest person in the room.

Lately I’ve been watching Countdown with Keith Olbermann , and I just love how he catches the “right” media in their faulty reporting, (AKA Lies). The thing I like most about this guy is that I’m pretty such he could kick Bill O’Reilly’s ass.

I keep monitoring this right wing media and I keep wondering, what is wrong with these people. My recent favorite is some Fox News morning show trying to blame the California Wildfires on terrorists. I know that they’re hoping to convince the trailer park set but come on. These guys have ZERO creditability now. What a bunch of LIARS. Oh and I’m not even going to start on the fake FEMA news conference.

I really shouldn’t bash my neighbors so the south. It’s rude of me, but I do want to challenge them on this. There are many Americans who say that their country is the best in the world. Now there’s nothing wrong with national pride, I have pride in Canada, but I don’t go saying that Canada is the greatest country on earth. If the U.S.A. is the greatest country on earth I say PROVE IT, and invading another country or two doesn’t prove that at all. It proves that you’re a big bully.

If the U.S. is the greatest country in the world, why is it rated 37 for Health Care? Why is France number 1? Maybe that’s why the French are snooty to Americans, because they have the best health care system.

Oh I did find something that the U.S. is number 1 at. Currently the U.S. is the most indebted country in the world. Sure, Canada is number 13, but were not going around saying that were number 1, or invading other nations.

I know that it’s not right to blame the actions of a countries leader on it’s people, and I do not blame the people who live across the 49^th parallel. I’m just saying, you have to get this maniac out of there and get some REAL leadership in place.

Oh for the record, I refuse to cross the border until January 2009.

Cat's dont need to hate Mondays

Everyone knows that Monday’s suck. It’s just a factor of life. Monday is just a day that blows because it’s so far away from Friday and the weekend, but I’ve been wondering about one thing? Why does Garfield the cat hate Monday’s? I mean really, who gives a crap that a lazy fat cat hates Mondays?

Let’s look at this whole cat hating Monday’s thing. This stupid cat doesn’t have a job. All this stupid cat does is sleep, eat, and watch TV. Someone sign me up to be a cat people. This sounds like a pretty good gig. So why would a cat hate Mondays? Is Monday TV that bad? Nope, that’s when Heroes is on. I look forward to Monday night. Does the Lasagna taste bad on Monday? Somehow I doubt it, so why should a stupid cat care about it being Monday? Tell you what Mr. Garfield, GET A JOB OTHER THAN LAYING AROUND ON YOUR ASS ALL DAY EATTING AND WATCHING TV ALL DAY AND THEN WE CAN TALK ABOUT HATING MONDAYS.

The Clip of the Week (The real Chloe)

The start of a video blog by Allison Mack who plays Chloe Sullivan on Smallville. One of the few TV shows that I actually like (and yes I still like Superheroes, ENOUGH ALREADY). It's a little long (9 minutes), but I thought it was cool.

A stupid clown gave me Hepatitis A

Every fall, McDonalds in Canada runs Monopoly contest, you collect the playing pieces on the wrappers of some of the food and the drinks, you collect them and you may win lots of money or you can instantly win food or cash prizes. Well I may have won something this year, but it wasn’t on the list of prizes. I may have won Hepatitis A. Apparently the McDonalds that was located across the street from where I work had a food server who had Hepatitis A. Now I have to go get a shot. Lovely.

This news story has been all over town, and the Calgary Health Region has opened a clinic in the area so I can have someone stick two needles into my arm. (I really hate needles). I’ve talk to my boss about it, since he went for his shot yesterday, and he had to get 2 shots. Uggg I really hate needles, and I don’t care how cute the nurse is, who’s giving me the shot, if she causes me real pain, she’s going to end up on her ass, with me standing over her all green and going ARGHHH, a la The Incredible Hulk. There’s a 30% chance that I will cry like a baby.

At this point I’m fairly certain that I probably caught “something”. I usually go to this place 2 or 3 times a week in the morning to pick up breakfast, an Egg McMuffin meal (which includes a hash brown (who the hell named that thing a HASH brown, I feel like I’m ordering drugs instead of breakfast)) and a large Iced Tea. I never order Hepatitis A. Oh and I consider this virus to be a value added bonus.

I’ve been reading about Hepatitis A for obvious reasons. I’ve also looked that the symptoms, wondering if I might be effected.

• Fatigue
• Fever
• Abdominal pain
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Appetite loss
• Depression
• Jaundice, a yellowing of the skin or whites of the eyes.
• Sharp pains on the lower right side of the torso (the liver)

So far I’ve been experiencing Fatigue but nothing else, in fact I feel tired right now. I’ve been having bouts of fatigue for a little while now. Then again, the reason that I’ve tired is because I just want to take a nap.

Needless to say that I’m pissed at McDonalds and will NEVER eat there again, because their employees obviously do not was their hands after going to the bathroom, because that’s HOW HEPATITIS SPREADS !!!!

Now comes the ugly part, when you get the shot, they shoot it into the shoulder and you end up feeling sore, and I’m pretty sure that I’m going to need two shots because of the amount of times that I’ve eaten there. So I guess I’m getting a free shot from McDonalds as well.

So Mr Ronald McDonald, if you’re reading this, take note, if we ever meet, I’m going to shove a Big Mac up your ass. I will get my revenge. I swear it.
