Moar random junk

Time to post this, I realize I started it a month or easily two months ago. A lot has happened over that time, so some of this is dated. It is easier to make quick entries like this right now so sadly for the next little bit I doubt I will be working on any travel blogs. The next two entries will be a two parter and MAYBE by the time they are up my life will be calmed down and I can get back to travel.....

It is time for the X-Men to save the MCU. Ratings are down, we have super hero hangover even F4 didn't do amazing. Its time for the Phoenix Saga. They have tried with two terrible movies and it ended both X-Men runs. Time to do 20 movies like the Infinity Saga with Phoenix in the background until the final showdown with her as well, the villain. I want to see the original 5 in the first movie and yes Magneto as the villain. A few solo offshoot movies and Giant Sized X-Men is your first crossover. You can cover so many classic stories and please do Mutant Massacre, the whole MCU can be in Inferno. Have Rogue steal Cpt Marvels powers. I want a good Hellfire club and to actually see Sinister. Make Age of Apocalypses a two parter like Infinity War and Endgame.  I dunno have the Dark Phoenix half way through. Bring her back for the last couple movies for whoever the real big bad is, Apocalypse? I think Jean is your RDJ and ties this all together. So you need an amazing Jean and I don't think we really have had that yet. I am not getting to into it cause I have a couple times at least but more and more I think X-Men are all that can save the MCU now.

Do you think Andrew Tate is gay? I do, he loves dancing around mostly naked with other dudes. His anti women attitude I think just stems from repressed homosexual feelings.

I got nothing really for movies. I can't remember if I wrote about Thunderbolts or not. It was decent, made me care a bit about B listers but any of the previous Avenger movies are way better. Superman was also decent, people called it woke I dunno I wouldn't say that but sure as shit Man of Steel was better. You can tell this was a James Gunn movie, felt like GotG for sure. Haven't seen Fantastic Four yet but it is on Disney Plus now, meaning I will see it soon I hope. Other than that I can't even think of a movie I have wanted to see in a long time. 

Kirill Kaprizov is not a $17M / year guy. I am not sure wtf they were thinking. Then the other day I exploded. Someone told me McJesus took $25m a year. They were mistaken. I did think what a prick! Until I heard the truth. Now I think damn what a guy, not fucking his team over. He did put a timer on it though. 2 years boys.....

Need to be very clear about this, changing names does not change history. Changing the Grandin name is St Albert does not change history. Truth is it is mostly sad, white, middle class people pushing for this. It doesn't somehow make you a better person. Your not helping the world or making it a better place. In fact we have way bigger current issues, but slow clap..... Bravo

Tulsa king has hit the usual Taylor Sheridan syndrome. Paramount acts like this guy is some amazing writer. He isn't, he has some great ideas writes a great first season or two then it loses its way. TK is a prime example of that. Season 1, a comedy drama at best. 2 more of the same but trying to take itself more serious. 3 it is trying to be Breaking Bad or Sopranos and it never will measure up. I mean at this writing season is really just getting started but meh. Peace Maker was decent... Started meh, had some great episodes and ended on a boring 1 hour music video. I really enjoy the show but it does have ups and downs. Again I like it but I hope they don't think he will be an RDJ to the DCU. The newest season of Witcher is dogshit. Well not dog shit but it sure aint great. I have 2 episodes left as of this writing maybe it gets better. 1) That's not Regis, great actor but not Regis sorry. 2) Vesemir dying was awful. All they did was a shitty take of Witcher 3 battle of Kaer Morhen. The crazy thing is Geralt isn't the issue. Everyone was worried but he isn't terrible. Bonhart leaves a lot to be desired. I guess they nail what he should look like but damn, not impressive. Looks more like a 7/11 junkie than a man who can kill Witchers. Started Talamasca and I gotta say they did really good on this one. Most of AMCs Immortal Universe has been awesome. Also Welcome to Derry is out, haven't started that yet either but cannot wait to!!

True Detective Season 1 is prime television. Possibly one of the best seasons of any TV ever. Matt and Woody absolutely nail it. The plot is a great mix of crime and human drama, truly great TV. I am sad as the series goes on it gets worse. They almost left it open for those two to have another season. Part of me wants that and part says no. Leave it as a masterpiece. Prime Video made me SO mad. I recently rewatched seasons 1 - 5 of Justified. Then right when I went to rewatch the final season they changed the subscription and I cant! WTF. I mean ya I have seen it but damn!

Pete "sloppy seconds" Davidson comment on Walton Goggins and Pedro Pascal recently. Honestly it wasn't really an insult to Goggins as some felt it was. It is true fans turned on Pedro because we saw him in EVERYTHING. MCU, DCEU, Star Wars, TLOU. Goggins on the other hand yes is in a lot and great in a lot but not the main mainstream. Not to the same extent Pedro is, I don't think it was meant as a shot but I also think sloppy seconds is clueless, I don't see people turning on Goggins any time soon.

I don't think dogs realize how good they make the world just by existing. Tail wagging when they see you. Laying down to cuddle, simply letting you pet them helps the world feel like a better place. 

My dog has no manners! If an Amazon driver is dropping something off at someone's house at 5am and we are out for a morning pee he makes sure everyone in the neighborhood knows there is a stranger in the 'hood! On the flip side almost no one has ever snuck up on me. Although its creepy AF when they bark into the dark and I can't see anything....

The Absolute titles in DC are awesome, sad they will be going away at some point. Not sure why we have another Batman title, how many times are we going to relaunch that? I think Age of Revelation is going to be awesome. I would love to buy all the titles but I can't. Everything I have read of it so far has been great! I have bought a couple titles from Ignition Press, I believe they are a fairly new company. I am calling it now they are big in 2026!  

Women are the worst! The dirtiest and roughest!! I mean in hockey BTW. I call it mens league but it is BHE we are in and some teams have a few women. 90% of the time they are the dirtiest players! I had one chick whacking me with her stick most of the game when we were nowhere near the play. Eventually I asked wtf! She stopped but later tried to run over a guy over 6ft I am guessing pushing 200LBS and she might be 5'4 120LBS. When she couldn't she crashed down and he got a penalty. Had she have been a guy the ref wouldn't have said boo. 

As for hockey this season sucked so far. We started in a lower div than normal & half way through got dropped another div. That drop didn't make sense considering we were .500 and beat the top team, also a team below us stayed in the div? Then in the lower div we have been doing not great. All I wanted was 6 points to get my 100 and I only have 2. I should easily have 8 goals but for some reason I have zero finish. Screwed up break aways, missed one timers, hitting the cross bar..... Maybe I suck at hockey. 

I have no new music or pods. I am an old man I guess, music sucks these days and I haven't had a chance to get into any new pods. I will say the endless Behind the Bastards on Himmler is worth a listen! 

trump talking about handouts is awesome. Remember when he busted a casino? How do you even manage that??? But his daddy bailed him out. This dude only exists because of handouts. Pretty sure he has dementia and thinks his presidency is a reality show.

Ran my first 5K. Didn't do to bad IMO at least just under 37 minutes. Maybe I can improve a bit next year. It is a different kind of running than ball hockey. You REALLY need to pace yourself! The thing that came out of it though is Sashbear foundation! It was the "sponsor" I guess you could say, I looked into them and I do believe they are a great mental health charity but not just charity a resource people should look into as I don't think there is really nearly enough of those resources out there. 

Jimmy Kimmel was let go and honestly I don't care. It all ties back to Charlie Kirk which is getting way out of hand. He was not a good person and people trying to get his birthday as a holiday now, have something wrong in their brains. I did read it is also George Floyds birthday so that would be a neat holiday for everyone. Anyways is this an attack of free speech, I wouldn't go that far but it isn't a harmless either. Its a slippery slop. On the other hand Kimmel got his start having women bounce on trampolines. Kimmel wasn't some free speech warrior he was a half funny comedian that got canned. Also just stop Rob Schiender. You have ridden Adam Sandler coat tails for so long it is embarrassing. 

Many years ago I lived in kind of a dive of an apartment. I vaguely recall a body being found set ablaze in a dumpster behind it. Sad truth I forgot about it or never heard more on it. Then I found a podcast on it. The fact is I almost thought I had dreamed it up and it never happened but it did. It was actually solved pretty quickly afterwards and I am relieved but it was just kind of random to find a podcast on it.

Today I really miss big Chad. When you were stressed he would have a drink or 20 with you... also he was a great guy to support a person dealing with stressful people

I was going to do a whole entry on Charlie Kirk when he died but no, I changed my mind. I will keep it simple. He was a dick. He wasn't some super intelligent debate master, in fact South Park nailed him. At no point however does that mean he should be murdered. People celebrating it, well thats super fucked as well. To celebrate a murder because you don't agree with what someone said, you fail as a human. Also there are going to be dark memes and jokes, well that I guess we can live with, when you live a life like he did there will be tasteless jokes. There is a very fine line between celebrating death and being tasteless. 

"releasing the Epstein Files causes Autism" trump probably.

The world is against us. This isn't tinfoil hat and I know my life isn't worse because billionaires exist. Just look at house prices, look at healthcare and education. Everything seems stacked against people these days. Look at the massive inflation.... The scary thing is we are being groomed into accepting it. Massive multi family structures going up and people being told you don't need a home, with a yard. You should be happy to live like this! Just appreciate that you can be in debt until your 80, oh and then you can die

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...
