New Year, Random Thoughts

November and December are my busiest months by far. I assume December is for a lot of people with Xmas parties, real Xmas, shopping for Xmas. I get all that plus I travel for work for 4 weeks roughly plus have to see all my local customers. I am not complaining, I love my job and these trips are pretty good. Most guys aren't super into work, mostly talk about the holidays and have a nice meal as a thanks for the business! Plus my family lives 500KMS away so at some point make that drive and spend a couple days at home. Again not complaining it is all good but ya it does take it out of a guy! So I got that all done and came home and slept solid for 9 hours. Doesn't sound like a lot but my Fitbit told me 87% sleep score, usually hit a 75 and usually get lucky if it is 7 hours of sleep. So I guess I was tired, New Years next week but I am not doing anything crazy for that!!! I guess what I am saying is between all that I kind of fell behind on what I wanted to write. I did a blog ...

Edmonton, Murder and issues

Breaking my own rules real quick, this will be a real quick blog. Something happened last Friday and last weekend and it bugged me and it points out so many issues that I just gotta rant! I will touch on a few things "News Media" and journalism, social media, a little politics, Edmonton, gun control, the justice system and racism. Not really edited so sorry if it isn't the easiest read. Start with YEG wave, anyone else know who that is? I'll pretend you don't. They claim to be #1 in Alberta Culture and Entertainment pages. I personally found them because they have had news up on Edmonton way before the mainstream does. A quick scroll shows maybe it isn't culture they are into but crime and politics. I have seen them called racist online, that of course isn't true, let me explain. A view of their page and you can tell they are right leaning for sure. However nothing they post has been untrue. Also they rarely post anything of their thoughts just actual vide...

Novembers Random Thoughts

 So these random thought posts will not be edited. They might be hard to read, just a heads up and it might drive down views. Not that I get all that many.... Just saying. While I have been working on other writings and actually enjoying it. In general staying off social media, some days though when I just don't feel like writing I pop a random thought down. So no moving forward most of these random posts won't be well thought out, just random ideas about the world and my life. I don't want to spend more than an hour on them.  One of the better mottos is life, see below..... Trump won the election, I cannot say I am surprised. Kamala had no appeal to the common person. I hate to say it but she appealed to the rich celebs and to people in fear of another Trump presidency. That is never going to win. On the flip side how did a felon with no actual value win? The only thing I will say is the same thing I have said for the last 2 elections. Really?? These are the two best in a ...

The Rings of Power

I said I wouldn't do any more random posts for a bit, but I have to do this one! Call it for my mental health. I have been doing my own writing again, which has been enjoyable. Then, I go online and see people whining and whining about the Rings of Power. I have an easy fix; if you hate it that much, don't watch! It is easily one of the top things on TV or streaming or whatever we call sitting at home mindlessly watching a screen these days. This show is making me hate nerds! "Oh, that's not how Tolkien had it written in his writings!" I have yet to read them all, AND it probably isn't. The events covered in this series are all compacted. That what goes on happens over hundreds or thousands of years, and they are writing it all together; if you try and make a TV series that covers thousands of years, you are going to run into all kinds of other problems, so yes, they took a short cut to try and make an epic into a shorter series (The opposite of making the Hob...

Random September Thoughts

 The Olympics started. I remember when it was a big deal, grandpa recording it, like all of it on a massive VHS set. I still pay a bit of attention to the winter games but summer. Not so much. I am just going to go into the opening ceremonies for a second. I am not even religious, but man mocking Christians is the thing to do these days?? Look back over the last 20 years of opening ceremonies and you have some awesome shows. This was a shit show. Drag queens enacting The Last Supper. Then online I see clowns saying "Oh its not the last supper, its the feast of Dionysus and it is about the Greeks starting the games" No its not. Put those two paintings side by side with the ceremony and it is clearly the Last Supper. I can guarantee you wouldn't see them mocking Islam in an Islamic nation putting on the games. It has become a fucking joke. I did read someone try and say it was representing French art and culture. I could almost believe that, except it was painted by and Ita...

Deadpool & MCU stuff

  The MCU hasn't been the same since Endgame. It has had a few decent TV shows, and let's be honest, Guardians 3 was terrific. Spidey and Doc Strange were alright, and also, a ton of crap has come out. Moving forward is looking iffy, even with a fantastic movie out and hopefully one on the way. Here are my mini highlights, and of course, there are spoilers, so be warned. So, let's talk about RDJ coming back to the MCU. It reeks of desperation. The most popular actor of the first 10 years has to come back to revamp the entire franchise. Have things really gotten that bad?? Is Cap coming back if Brave New World bombs? I will give it a shot; RDJ is a great actor. I know he can pull the roll-off, but there had better be one hell of a well-written plot to get there. I am making an assumption he is a clone? A variant? If they say he looks strikingly close to Tony and wears a suit of armor, I might lose it. Let's assume Dr. Doom will be a big bad and not wasted as a one-shot. ...
