Introductions

Hi,

Welcome to my blog. I am an earlyish 30s male, almost mid 30s were is the line on that when does early become mid, oh and I am in Edmonton. That's Alberta, Canada. I grew up in northern Alberta. Even though I often hear redneck or hillbilly said about that. I really don't mind. I like were I grew up. I think it stops me from jumping on stupid trends like metrosexuality or aging hipsterness. On the flip side of that I am not some gun toting, bible thumping dude with testicles hanging from my truck hitch. Yes I do drive a truck and vote PC. PS its a ford so suck it chevs!

I always wanted to be a writer, at least since grade 6. Yes I am pretty sure I wanted to be a cop and or ninja (turtle) like everyone my age did. Anyways I remember my grade 6 teacher reading the Hobbit to the class and e being like BOOM. That's what I wanna do, write. I can honestly say there was always book around me growing up. Grandma always had true crime books that I read so maybe that is were my fascination with that subject came from. Anyways at 19 knowing everything there is to know I move to Edmonton to go to GMCC. I was accepted into Journalism, was in the top three taking the entrance exam. My biggest regret is dropping out. Not once but twice. In immaturity I said it wasn't the kind of writing I wanted to do. Hind sight says you dumb shit that woulda been a life writing!!! Opposite side of that is even though I am a lifetime away from making a living writing, I love the life I have lived and the friends I made. None of which I would have done had I not sucked at life back then!

Some random facts about me.. Ummm... I like all kinds of music. Country, metal, rock, rap anything but pop. However pop gets stuck in my head way too often. I love hockey. I love reading and writing. Enjoy talking politics, sometimes just to piss people off. Other than hockey and skiing winter could just fuck off, but as much as I hate it I doubt I will ever move for this snowy cold province. Unless I get rich.... First world problems and stupid people piss me off. So yeah that's kinda the basis for my blog. Which really is just supposed to be a few minutes everyday before I work on a novel or a comic. So far that has been a fail but this is the year, my goal is to get something published!

So ya that's it. Some random shit kinda explaining a bit about me and why I blog and maybe what I will blog about. I am sure I will say more but now I am actually off to do some writing!

Edmonton / Highway of Tears

This was going to be a small paragraph in a bigger random blog but it grew really fast and the fact is I thought it was rather interesting so it will be post of its own. I decided to add some of these womens names. I once heard a pod about Jack the Rippers victims, that humanized them. I think thats what should be done, why glorify freak shows and forget about the people who suffered because of them. Also I added a bit more as I was just going to, just quickly mention Edmonton but I think it is bigger than that. Also still cannot find a legit decent looking charity to donate to for MMIWG.... Msg me if you know one! IS there a serial killer in Edmonton? Or was there one active? On another long drive home I came across podcasts on EPS, which led to pods on what they called the Edmonton - Leduc murders. Which if you have been around Edmonton for awhile I know you have heard of. I just was unaware of the amount and length of time this had been going on. First thing though not all these mur

Alberta Politics Pre 2019 election

Ahh that lovely time every few years when we see the worst in all people is upon us! That's right elections are coming! The brutal truth is both federally and provincially we are going to see shit get nasty. From both sides, let's not pretend anyone is innocent. This is all I am going to say on politics for awhile, at least until elections OR if something crazy happens. I really need to concentrate on actual writing. Not twitter bickering with people. So here is it my thoughts on the current federal and provincial politics. (Breaking this into 2 parts. This one is going to be just media and Alberta) First let's start with the sideliners. The media and the peanut gallery. Rebel Media OR Chicken little media. Whichever you want to call them is fine by me. It has been years now I was blocked for using common sense or not drinking the Kool-aid by Ezzie and the Rebel account. I can say I never dropped into name calling or anything like that with either, but I guess not believi

Part 3 Addiction

So, I have stated first, we need the correct systems in place, and second, we need healthy citizens for a better society. One of the root problems in society, though, is addiction. A mental health problem that can lead to so much more. Family violence, crime, homelessness, job loss, and on and on. There is no cure for addiction. There is management, and there are many things we can do much better to help addicts and society. So, let's tackle this one next.  I like drinking! I like the taste of a good whiskey or red wine. Or the supposed "no taste" of good vodka. I like that little boost of confidence that tells me, hell ya, you can dance! Or the fact that, yes, after a long day, it does take an edge off. I have a ton of great memories of times when booze was around... The flip side of that is I'm not too fond of hangovers. I hate not knowing what happened the night before; I guess there is a term for this now: hangxiety. Some of my worst memories and things I hate abo
