Trying to return to the fold

I’ve been trying to blog for about a month, but I never finish what I’ve started writing. Then I get called away, and then I loose my train of thought, and next thing you know. I haven’t posted for a month. Right now, I all I can think about is blogging about how I haven’t blogged. Actually that’s not 100 per cent true. I also could blog about the new HTC Magic phone that I want. THE PHONE OS IS MADE BY GOOGLE, but enough about the phone.

This is what I think the main problem is. I’m not frustrated with life, as much as I used to be. Before, my dreams were being crushed, and all I could do is shake my fist in the air and go DAMN YOU!!!. That’s not the case anymore. I can do stuff. I even bought a laptop recently hoping that I could blog anywhere. Guess what. That didn’t work. I’m hoping to do some blogging from Chicago when I’m there in a few months. I figure that I could put some thoughts of Chicago onto the blog and then go to bed. We’ll see how well that goes. It will be a trail for next year, for when I go to the UK.

A year ago, I never dreamt that I could actually pull off a trip to the UK, and meet Vics in person. A year ago, I was wondering how the hell I was going to pay my rent. How events can change a person. I’ve even changed the way I’ve dressed.

I’m also planning on a trip back East for Christmas, and I’m hoping to sneak in a trip to Ottawa as well. Honestly, the idea of going home for Christmas doesn’t thrill me, but it’s because of the town, not the people.

I’ve also been looking into cruises to Antarctica for 2011. There are actual cruises to Antarctica, and the smaller boats let you go ashore. I really like the idea of getting the opportunity to walk on that continent. Seriously, how many people have walked on Antarctica? I’ve asked around, and guess what. No one here has been to Antarctica, and they don’t know anyone who has. I can be that person who goes. I’m going to see penguins.

See it happened again. I got called away. ARGHHH

Once again, I’ve totally lost my train of thought.

I guess I’ll end this post here and try again soon.

A bad picture

I broke my crappy camera last week. I had the camera back when I was working for the cheap ass bastards at the old job, so it wasn’t anything fancy, but I was still annoyed. So when I ordered my new laptop (another post for another time), I also purchased a new camera. I’m a lot happier with this one, than my last one. It’s a 10MP camera as opposed to my old 5MP camera, and it has a 15X optical zoom as opposed to the 3X optial zoom and a digital zoom. For the record, digital zooms SUCK big time. Avoid using them at all cost. Anyway I got my new camera and I tested it out by take a picture of…my junk.

Now this isn’t a good picture, and I won’t be posting it here, so don’t worry. I’m actually disappointed with the picture. I was saying to my junk “come on, look alive”, but my junk just sat there and did nothing. I closed my eyes and did some imagining, then opened my eyes and …nothing. My junk just sat there saying, “leave me alone”.

Now you’re all wonder why I decided to take a picture of my junk. All, I can say is that…it seemed a good idea at the time, and yes I know that phrase has gotten many people including myself into a lot of trouble. It’s not like I was going to email a the picture to anyone, especially if my junk wasn’t cooperating.

Perhaps, my junk is camera shy. Perhaps, my psyche wasn’t into it. Either way, my junk wasn’t behaving, and I’m somewhat disappointed at that. Maybe, my junk and I need to have some counseling. I ‘d sit in one chair, my junk in another chair, and the therapist in the third chair. The only problem would be if the therapist was a hot babe, and then my junk decided to stand at attention. Then I’d be really pissed. I’d be yelling, “I WANT TO TAKE A PICTURE OF YOU, AND NOTHING, BUT YOU GET ONE LOOK AT THE THERAPIST AND YOU’RE AT ATTENTION. WHAT THE HELL!!.”

To be fair to my junk, I’d rather look at a hot babe, than my camera as well. Bottom line, I didn’t get a good picture of my junk.

BOB AND DOUG ARE COMING BACK!!!!

Well to Canada anyway. I knew this was coming, but to get an air date is like WOOT!!!! (or is it SQUEEEE now?). I just read that Global will start airing the animated adventurers of Bob and Doug McKenzie on April 19th. I can’t wait.

I’ve been a fan of the McKenzie brothers as far back as I can remember, and they still have influence over me to this day. Don’t believe me? Where do you think the name Tales from the Great White North came from? Back in the day Bob and Doug did a SCTV called….The Great White North. Coincidence.? I think NOT eh.

So as I said before, this is an animated series so the hosers will able to do some Loony Toons type stuff, like be crushed by kegs or beer, or be body checked by their French Canadian rivals Now I can’t confirm the existence of the French Canadian rivals right now, but they were in a animated short that came out with the DVD release of Strange Brew, the Bob and Doug movie (cue the singing angels eh).

The good news, Dave Thomas will be doing the voice of Doug. The bad news is that Rick Moranis will not be doing the voice of Bob. I guess he doesn’t need to do it, after Disney game him all that money for those Honey I Shrunk the Kids movies, but he is an executive producer, alone with Dave. The replacement for Bob’s voice will be….Dave Coulier. Yes, the voice of Bob will be done by Joey from Full House. I do know that Dave plays Hockey and plays on the Celebrity All-Star Hockey Squad, and is a big Red Wings fan, so he has some Canadian in him.

I’m very excited that my hosers are coming back, but I’m also sad, that the show will only be seen in Canada. Why hasn’t a US network tried to pick up this gem? Fox can put it on Sunday nights along with all the other animated shows they air, but alas, this show is only for us Canadian eh. Here’s a clip of the original show, and I’m looking forward to post clips of the animated series when it comes out eh. I can’t wait for the show to come on in 4 weeks. Just 4 more than a square beer eh. A square beer is 24, or a two four eh.

Being a closet pervert is perfectly normal.

So it’s been a month, since I last blogged, and all I can say is OH SHIT. I didn’t want to let it slide like this but…surfing for porn takes up so much time. Sometimes I wonder if the people who visit this blog really do think that I’m a sick pervert, and to them I say…Sorta.

Here’s the deal. Deep down, most of us (I’m not saying everyone so calm down), tend to think about such things on a regular basis, but never act on those thoughts. Who hasn’t thought of a specific person and though naughty thoughts about them? I’m sure we’ve all done it once in a while. We all have fantasies in one form or other, right? Mine just happen to feature women dressed like the female characters from the X-men.

I’ve read other people’s blogs, and they’ve discussed this side of themselves with ease. They don’t mind sharing some of their “experiences” ;I, on the other hand, (don’t go there), am really shy and private about such things. I’ve never been the type to proclaim to everyone…I DID THAT. Then again, I’ve never been big on the bar scene, and I’m actually extremely shy in real life. It’s to the point where I’m actually fearful of saying anything. I figure, if I don’t say anything, they might think I’m an idiot, but if I do, they will know for sure.

As I’ve mentioned in the past, I’m going to a meet up in Chicago in August. I’m going to meet people I’ve teamed with in a game for years. The nice thing about this, is that I don’t have to be anything but myself. These people have known me for years. They know a lot about me, I’ve shared some details about my life and I’ve even posted my picture on a webpage for our Super Group, so we know what each of us looks like. I’m feeling any fear, because I don’t have to win anyone over. Then again, most of the people I’m going to meet are male. There will be some women, but their married. I’ve not planning on “finding a mate” there.

I had a few people who have recommended that I should try one of those web-dating services, but it’s hard to work up to something like that when you work two jobs, seven days a week, and I don’t always like what I see starting back at me in the mirror. I’m going to go into the self-image thing now, but this is something I need to remedy one day. Perhaps in a few years after I no longer need the second job. Being in debt also affects my self-image, and I’ll be debt free in less than 3 years. Then perhaps, I’ll be more confident in myself and go get me some (insert 70’s porno music here).

Yadda Chicag Yadda Comic Con Yadda Whatever

I’m bored again. This isn’t a good thing because, well. I don’t like being bored. I’m still thinking about my vacation in August. What will I do, and what will I see in Chicago? It has come to the point where I’ve made a list of things that I might see, and what I should be careful of.

I’m hoping to see a parade, so I can grab a microphone and start singing Twist and Shout like Ferris Beuller did.

I’m going to be weary of anyone who looks like Carrie Fisher, because I know she’ll have a rocket launcher, and explosives on her. I saw that on the Blues Brothers. As well, I’ll have to watch out for the Illinois Nazis, and the 20 car pileups of Chicago Police Cruisers.

I also know that if I see a one armed man, go the other way.

I’m actually hoping to meet Oprah, because I figure there’s a good chance that she’ll give me a car.

I might the Chicago Superfan guys, and see one of them have another heart attack.

…..

I keep thinking about that trip, and I can’t wait. Time keeps dragging, but at least I have the Calgary Con to keep me happy. They just announced Sean Astin will be there. For non geeks, he played Sam in the Lord of the Ring movies, as well as Mikey, in The Goonies.

I’m really looking forward to the Calgary Con, as much as the Chicago trip. I feel like the local convention is the half way point between now and Chicago, and from what I’ve seen. Chicago won’t have much more than Calgary. They even announced the Soup Nazi guy from Seinfeld will be there.

I could go on, about how cool it will be to go to the Ando from Heroes panel, and how I love the costume contests, but I would just bore you all. That is the weekend I release my Geekness.

…..

It’s 4:30pm on a Friday afternoon and a lot of people have left for a weekend skiing, through the company. My old company would never do this, and I noticed that even the former CFO is joining them. This is a great place to work, and they do a lot of stuff like that, but I’m still to poor to join. Let me rephrase that, I’m too focused on getting out of debt to join. I don’t even go out for the weekly wings and beer night at a nearby pub. I just keep focusing on the debt.

One good thing has happened lately. I got a raise from the second job at Safeway, and it’s a rather substantial one at that. I’m getting an extra $100 a month now. That’s pretty good considering that I only work 12 hours a week at the second job.

I keep seeing May as when things will change moneywise. I’ll have 1 debt paid off, and I’ll start doing the Wednesday Wings thing. Someone has even marked it on their calendar, so they won’t forget. I’m actually looking forward to it.
