30 day writing challenge #14 Life in 7 years

I will be 42 in 7 years. HOLY crap on a cracker! (I can say that then cause I will be old!) Well not that old but when you going the 40’s crowd you are starting in my mind to get older (finger in the bum test) and in the early part of your middle age. I mean in my mind I am in the twilight of my younger years. But were will I be in 7 years??? Cue dream sequence music….. (Ya I am going to do what I wish cause it is more fun

In a super dream, I would be like Stephen King or Kurt Sutter. Writing tons of shit that lotsa people would watch and see. But lets not get greedy, let just say I would like to make a VERY comfy living writing. Like the kind of living were I have a nice house, a nice new truck, maybe a trailer, boat and the money to take a trip somewhere every year. See what I mean comfy not crazy.

The reality of it is I will likely still be at the same job. Hopefully making more $$$. I would also like to have move up somewhat. Like an outside sales job would be the goal. That life maybe doesn’t give me everything I want but it is enough to be happy and have some good things in life.


Seven years from now in a home life huh…. You want the honest truth in my teenage years and even mid twenties I figured by 42 I would have at least 1 child heading into its teen years. Clearly as kids aren’t even a thought right now, that wont be happening. Or at least if they do exist they will be damn young. 

Anyways it is really hard to say were I will be in 7 years. I mean 7 years ago I didn't know I would be sitting here. And as I said I am not sure were as a younger man I thought I would be at 42 so I guess we just wait and see. I just really hope Trump doesn't get elected so there is still a world in 7 years.

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
