30 day writing challenge #15 3 pet peeves

This one isn't as easy as I thought it would be. It seems I have a lot of things that piss me off!! I mean stupid people make me angry. Birds chirping before 6 am make me angry. Going for a poop and nothing happening makes me angry. Hangovers really make me angry at myself, my body (for being a sissy) and vodka for being so damn tasty. But I guess I can whittle it down to 3 points to bitch about today.

First off, anyone who is extreme about something, without knowing fuck all. I don't even mean like extremists like ISIS. (I really hate those guys) or Scientologists. I mean average everyday people who are extreme. Looking at some people like PETA or Greenpeace. And on the other side guys like Ezra Levant. First off if you hate oil and that industry so much, then honestly quit using products made from oil. I don't think you will, but you will sit in tight jeans with a man bun or a comb over on your laptop at Starbucks on twitter ranting about it. I am not saying we should be as plugged into oil as we are. And yes for sure we should be looking into a greener future but people we do have to live in the now. Also a few years ago we were in Victoria going for a nice horse drawn carriage ride when some clown shoes protesters yelled at the driver he was a horrible man. Just shut the fuck up. I yelled back at them for attempting to ruin our nice ride. These old horses actually have a decent life. The driver explained how they were taken care of. Did these protesters know any of that? Had they ever even been to a farm? The other side of that is guys like Ezra. At first I liked him, I wont lie or back track. When the government changed here in Alberta, he seemed for a bit like a good watch dog. Now I almost hate to ear anything he has to say. I think if the NDP some how cured cancer he would still bitch about it. I just cant handle people who cant see except for what they think is right.

The next problem is chewy McGummerson. Well that is what we started calling Mike Babcock. Ever watch that guy chew gum on the bench during a Wings, Leafs or Team Canada game? It actually makes my jaw hurt! How can someone chew gum so fucking fiercely. Like did it hurt him and he has to bite back? It ain't just him I hate when people chomp on gum.  Shit treat it like nicorette and go bite bite stop for a minute. Enjoy they flavour. Gawd just thinking about it makes me angry!!!

Another broad one is cheap people! No I don't believe that people should throw around money to impress people. I mean it is funny when 5 guys fight over who is gonna pay the bill, to impress someone (Maybe a lady) and then they are broke for a bit. Like that is just karma saying good job dummy. But even worse is cheap fucks. I am talking about the guy who is happy when rounds are bought but then buy themselves a beer rather than the round. The people who tip less than 10%. Don't eat out if you cant tip properly. Or go to McDonalds. (On the flip side not every place should have a tip jar) The people breaking out a tip calculator or breaking bills down to a penny. Plain and simple in my mind is if you are going out bring a few extra bucks tipping is the way of life and no one likes the cheap guy...

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
