The Briar Patch

Finished Poli Sci with an over A, making it my highest current mark which makes me happy! That and getting an A- in Econ tells me at least I have a basic knowledge of some of the shit I rant and rave about here. I understand that doesn't mean I am right just that I at least understand the concept enough to talk about it. Starting human resources next. This one could be interesting, I have faith I will do it well but maybe not agree with everything in it. In my life I have always had the shut the fuck up and get it done attitude. In general that has made me a good employee. I am assuming now a lot of things have to be sugar coated, which is hard for me but we will see. Have to be honest I started this blog over a month ago and finished the ultra condensed spring session. Currently sitting at 90% but waiting on my final mark. It was kind of how I figured, the world does sugar coat things BUT I did learn a few things or at least was given another view that does make sense. So it was a...

I started me versus school round 2. I dunno if it was fair cause well I was doing the same stuff. Here is what was funny though. I handed in the same unedited essays to my new professor, the ones doctor whore face said were terrible and he disagreed. The grammar and shit was garbage but I had a very strong "voice". I didn't skip his class! Round 2 I was doing so much better! For now. 9/11 happened in here. I kinda glazed over it but this was about when it happened. My second crack at school. I remember I had worked late the night before, slept in because I didn't have any early classes and when I showed up it was strange. People were sitting around out front and everyone was sitting in the common areas of GMCC. So I asked someone, whats going on. All they could say was America was under attack. I didn't get it, when someone says that I thought the a military strike. I rushed to the nearest TV, both planes had hit but they were showing it over and over and trying...

The great adventure started June 28th 2000. Shwa, Ditch and I drove down to Edmonton  in my beat up car. We booked in a hotel in downtown and started our house hunt by visiting my cousin, Auntie Glos kid who lived here. We had circled a bunch of places in the classified and showed them to her. She scribbled them all out and said not in those areas. There was a reason they were cheap. She helped us find more and we spend the next day and a half looking and applying. We honestly got our heart set on one place. We nicknamed it Melrose Place, you 90s people will get it. Everyone was young and pretty and seemed to know each other. June 29th was my 19th birthday. So that night we went out to Whyte Ave! We had at least 10 applications out and we celebrated our asses off. Then reality crashed in. The 30th I got up and realized I was out of something. I don't even remember what, it was like pitstick or something so I got dressed left the hotel and started walking downtown. Then some lady ...

Well this is an open letter to my lil  brother. He is doing his first year of College now. In fact he moved here last week. (I started this a month ago, yes I am a slacker! Right there don't be like me!) But really this could be for any kid going out on there own for the first time. I did it and there was some BIG hiccups. But I think you might be a bit wiser than I was and I am hoping some advice from me makes your life better. Who knows.... I do know that one of my prized possessions is an envelope our mother mailed me a card in but covered it in advice. Buy some new plates, just saying as good an organization as Ducks Unlimited is they are not great plate builders! First n foremost we are all proud of you. I kinda utterly failed at the whole school thing so you better not! So here is my first words of wisdom. School comes first. Not parties, not the freedom to game in your underwear with your buddies all day, not even work for some minimum wage. It is all about school. Some ...

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 ...
