I want to decorate again.

I'm not happy with the way things look around here. I wanted something cool. Something that says Canada, but all I could find was frigging polar bears. I think I go through this every once in a while. I want the blog to represent me. It's my thoughts after all, but I don't want it to look like that the I'm some emoteen, or some anime fanboy (actually I am anime fanboy, but I try to hide that fact from normal people).

I know it's the posts on the blog that are more important that the look of the blog itself, but would you take me seriously if I had a Hannah Montana look here? I wouldn't. I think the big problem is that I want this space to be me, but at the same time, I want to be normal. Well, guess what...I'M NOT NORMAL. Normal is my dad, and I don't want to be my dad.

It's almost like that I'm still searching for my identity. It's strange in a way. I want a my blog to look like I fit in, but at the same time, I want to be unique. Needless to say, I'll never be happy with my template.

Odds are this represents me. I don't know if I'll ever be happy with how I look. I'm a fat guy, we're talking tubby here. We're talking "beeping sound comes from my ass when I walk backwards" kind of tubby. Well to be honest, I can sit in one seat on a plane, so perhaps I'm not that bad.

Bottom line it's all about self esteem and how we're suppose to "fit in". It reminds me of the dad who made the comment "aren't those posters too expensive" to his son at the Con last year when he was really saying "why are you wasting your money on that crap". I kept wanting to say "just because you don't fucking get it, doesn't give you the right to look down on the rest of us". I really wanted to smack that guy. Hell he shouldn't have been to the Con in the first place.

So needless to say, expect another change here soon. Maybe even by the time you read this...like anyone is coming around on a regular basis anymore. I did blogfade after all, with a whopping 21 post for all of 2009. I'm ashamed of that fact, so i strive to do better.

So wish my luck, and perhaps with the new template, I will get back into the blogging mode, but then again, 2 post in 2 days isn't so bad.

The couch can wait.

I was planning to blog before now....but...dammit there is goes again. I was going to write something. I had no idea what the write about and then BOOM. The idea, or lack of idea is going.

Now I'm not saying that I haven't had blogging ideas. In fact I've had many, but to actually sit down and start writing, that has become easier than it sounds. I need a new couch at home, and I should buy one, but I'm too cheap to do it. Heck, I have the cash to do it today...but that money is for my trip to London in August. What's more important, a new couch or going to London for a week? If you said a new couch then your WRONG.

Now I can see my mom and dad saying "you really should spend the money on a new couch, you old couch has had it, and it would be more practical for you to get the couch instead of spending the money on a silly trip". Ok they wouldn't be that bad, but they would get the couch instead of going to London. I, on the other hand want to see the world. I want to experience life, and the world around it. This from someone who spends almost every night on that same friggin couch playing videogames, so yes I do see the irony.

I've put so much planning for my trip, and I've been asking Vics where the best area is for me to stay. She did offer me her home, but I can't impose, and I fear her bloke running around showing off his ass and screaming "BABOON." I couldn't make that up if I tried, but I have made up some crazy stuff.

Right now, I've already picked a hotel, and unless there's a seat sale when I book, I've picked my flight. it will be a long day, and I hope I'll be able to get some sleep on the plane for the 14 hours of flying time. I've picked the cheapest flight possible. Well second cheapest, I'm avoiding the US on this trip (no offense), but I do have a stopover in ICELAND.

I'm going to Iceland!!! Now it could be argued that since I'm not actually leaving the airport, just transferring to another plane that I'm not actually going to Iceland. Well to the people who would make that argument, I ask this "Have you ever been to Iceland? No?" THEN SCREW YOU. I'm going to be in Iceland. It counts PPPPHHHTTTT.

I'm hoping that I'll be able to mail postcard from the airport because how cool would it be for my friends to get a postcard from Iceland? I'm looking forward to London as well. After all, it's one of the world's greatest cities (isn't it?), but there's some appeal to Iceland.

I don't have too many other details on the London trip. I just hope I have better luck in being able to blog about London, than I did in Chicago. I blogged at the airport. That was it. The Calgary airport. Wish me luck with that.

Pat Robertson is the most despicable person EVER

I think we all know about the horrible events which have happened in Haiti. The whole country has been decimated by a 7.0 Earthquake. Relief is being sent from all over the world. From the United States to China, which is on the other side of the planet. We all look at these events and want to do something to help. At least I'd like to think so. Well except for a selfish few who are more interested in pursuing their own agenda.

As everyone else with a heart would look at a way to help the people of Haiti, Pat Robertson talks how this disaster is God punishing innocent people for something that supposedly happened in the 19th century. He talks about the people of Haiti making a pack with the devil over 100 years ago. Now even if this was true, which I doubt, because my God is a loving God who loved us so much that he would send his only son down to earth to free us from our sins, and yes I'm Catholic. God would not punish the decadents of people who have allegedly made a pact with the devil.

Now I'm not the most religious person out there. I don't pray much, but I do try to do some things to help mankind. I currently make donations from both jobs for different charities, and I can see myself making a donation to the Red Cross for the Haiti Relief effort, but I'm not going to go on and comments online, or on television about how the people of Haiti deserved the disaster that has fallen on them, and it's not like life was good there beforehand.

What really engages me is how Pat Robertson can claim to be a man of God and yet spit out this venom towards innocent people who have nothing. How can he claim to be a man of God? Quite simply, I think he can't. I feel that he's a fake. A fraud. He is not a man of God. All he cares about is himself and his selfish agenda, and one day, and it will happen soon, he will have to answer to God for what he has said.

SHAME ON YOU PAT ROBERTSON. YOU'RE SUPPOSE TO SHOW COMPASSION TO OTHERS IN NEED LIKE THE SON OF GOD.

I'm reasonably confident that Jesus would not approve of his remarks.

Now to be fair I've heard (but cannot confirm, that his charity is donating aid and money to the people of Haiti (I can't find a quote, but I've heard it on TV news coverage), but I'm sure that someone else doing, but a least the money people donate to him is going to a good cause.

I want to end with this. We are now in the 21st Century, and there is no longer a need for the hateful speech that people like Pat Robertson, and Osama Bin Ladin (yes I'm putting them in the same group). Your hate disguised as religious rhetoric has no place in this world. Go away somewhere and shut the fuck up.

I can't t take this nutjob anymore.

It took a former beauty contest winner nut job to finally get me to blog about something. No I don't mean Sarah Palin, but I;m sure that's coming soon. I'm still pissed at her over her Letterman attacks.I mean that Carrie Prejean phony. I can't take her anymore.

Did anyone see her little girl temper tantrum on Larry King?

Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News, World News, and News about the Economy

Seriously !!!! GROW UP YOU SPOILED ROTTEN HYPOCRITE BITCH.

First she's all conservative, right wing, and then she's making sex videos on her cellphone. She basically thinks that the rules don't apply to her. WELL THEY DO !!!

If you're going to appear on TV shows like Larry King, they're going to ask whatever questions they want. If you don't want to talk about something, just say do yo not want to talk about it, don't remove your microphone and pout like a 5 year old, who isn't allowed to have a cookie.

One more thing. She's not hot. I don't know why she even became Miss California. She looks like every other bimbo on every other friggin fashion magazine cover out there. She's nothing special. She looks like a mannequin. I want to see what she's doing in 5 years. Nothing important, I bet.

Also, who does she think she's kidding by claiming to have written a book? I'm surprised that she knows what a book is?

I could go on about her, but I don't see the point. Far better people than I, rip her a good one in the video. I do hope one thing. God please do not allow this thing to breed. She's part of the Peeing in the Genepool problem.

It's just a statue, dumb ass.

Why is it that religious groups tend to piss me off? Whenever they open their mouths, they just prove how narrow minded they are. Well, I guess that’s why they piss me off. They’re a bunch of hypocrites.

I read today that Concerned Christians Canada has sent a letter to the Calgary Zoo because they are offended by an elephant statute by the … (wait for it) Elephant exhibit. These people are really pathetic. What really bothered me the most was their anger of the display of a “foreign god”. A FOREIGN GOD!!! What a bunch of racist bastards. I wonder how the Hindu Society of Calgary would feel about their God being referred to as a foreigner.

They claim that the statue is a representation of a the Hindu God Ganesh, even though the zoo officials made sure that there were no religious symbolism on the statue, and because they feel that it should be taken down. BULLSHIT. What gives these wackos the right to decide that can or cannot be seen by the general population of this City. They claim that they’re offended by the statue, and that’s all it is, a statue, not an idol. Well I’m offended by their closed minded thinking. HOW ABOUT THAT, so so-called Christians.

When I hear a group saying crap like that, I feel there are no better than the KKK, or Muslim fundamentalists. They should also change the name of their organization as well, because NO NORAML CANADIAN THINKS LIKE THAT. As Canadians, we appreciate our multiculturalism. It’s what makes us a better place to live. It makes us the envy of many people from around the world. If not, then why are they coming here?

The good part of this story is that the Calgary Zoo is standing up to these narrow-minded people. We need to stand up against these people, or else they will eventually think that they have the right to control every part of our lives. Isn’t that what the Taliban was doing in Afghanistan?

This isn’t the first time I’ve heard this kind of crap from these people either. A few years ago, a pastor went and wrote a letter “declaring war against the homosexual machine”. A complaint was filed with the Alberta Human Rights commission, and the man was then charged with a hate crime. This is the mentality of the people who wrote this letter to the zoo.

These people do not deserve the slightest bit or respect from me, or any sane person in Canada. I refuse to give these crackpots the time of day. Get an education.
