Xmas 2018


I wasn’t going to do a Xmas blog. I think I have every year and they are always pretty similar, but driving to work today I figured screw it lets do another. Then it was actually busy at work, which pisses me off when it cuts into my writing time! Like WTF people just cause I am here doesn’t mean I am ready to work. Basically I am saying I wasn’t gonna do a blog, changed my mind to do it and now am annoyed people WANT ME TO DO THE JOB I AM PAID FOR! Instead of blogging.

Need some airing of the grievances first. People have literally started bitching about carols. Seriously fuck off. That’s your biggest problem in the world, you got a pretty good life!! Also still bitter about the Happy Holidays bullshit or holiday concerts at schools rather than Merry Christmas and Christmas Concerts. See it doesn’t hurt you if I say Merry Christmas, you can feel free to say happy holidays or whatever you want. Just don’t be a bitch The whole point of the season is peace on earth and good will to men. (That’s right I said men, don’t give me feminist tears either) So what really does it matter what you say??

Been a crazy year for me both grandmas passed away. I got married. Caps won the cup…. Work was good, actually wrote a lot. I look back and think even with a ton of sadness I have a lot to be grateful for. I have heard a few times this year Xmas has become way to commercial. That it is all about presents and shit like that. I dunno to me it is always friends, family, a few days off to relax and visit. I am on call so that kinda sucks. I hope it gets cold, real cold and I get a few calls!

My grandma popped in my head the other day. We used to always bug her about the decorations she hung from her roof. I can't even describe them, like stars but not really. What I wouldn't give to see them hung again. Also the Christmas Cactus I got from her bloomed, wife just pointed it out. I am terrible at looking after plants.......

Citadel theater made me a bit mad if you want the truth. They put out a thing saying last year of a Christmas Carol. Which we have gone a few times and I enjoyed so I made sure to buy tickets for final season and get money for the food bank. Then they announce no, that’s not quite true. It will be back next year but a new version. Talk about making fake panic. Also how do you make a new version?? How much can you honestly change on a story that’s a hundred years old. Argh!

 I don't have all that much to say. I should be working on a million other blogs or real writing, so I guess I will keep this one short an simple. I guess I should just say I am grateful that I am happy healthy and have a decent life. I hope the 10 people that read this have a great holiday season. And I hope that people will take all this positive attitude, charity and good will to all and spread it through out next year. Instead of people just being good for a few days then back to assholes!

 Anyways Merry Christmas!

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
