30 day writing challenge Day 12 (2 phrases)

Two words or phrases that make me laugh. Huh, I don’t really know two phrases that do that. I mean 90 percent of the shit old people say makes me laugh. First off I mean they have all these funny phrases like “That will be the frosty Friday.” Well we live in Alberta so I am guessing 40 out of the 52 Fridays we get are frosty. Or they have 0 Politically Correct concerns. Guess what my great grandmothers cat was named, we was totally black…. I mean if they ain't saying it to be intentionally mean and you take it as just the way they are some shit from older peoples mouths is pretty damn funny. But I cant go on about that cause there would be too many phrases.

So one that does make me laugh is “Do you want something to cry about” Ever hear it?? Ever been asked it? Usually to a crying child. That’s like saying hey you got a broken toes can I step on it for ya?? It doesn’t really matter what reason real or not if a kid is screaming and crying they already think they have a reason so why offer another? I personally would like to hear some kid reply some day with “No you dumb bastard I am already crying.”

Also completely unrelated but I HATE the current butchering of the English language. People (Kids) *cough cough* are losing the ability to talk. Saying shit like LOL, OMG and AF drive me mental. If you are gonna LOL just frickin laugh. If you say it I don’t think you actually mean it. I admit I am bad, my mother constantly says stop texting OIC but I do it cause I am lazy. Not because I am from a generation that refuses to talk properly!! Also FTW means Fuck The World not For The Win!!


A new one that makes me laugh is First World Problems. It doesn’t really make me laugh so much as I use it all the time. Mostly cause its true. We often forget how lucky we are over here. Some places don’t have clean water to drink and we shit in a chair filled with water in our own homes. It is kind of a grounding statement. So what if your double tall skinny latte ain't foamy enough. We all, myself included forget how great we have it here in the Great White North!

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...
