The Briar Patch

 So these random thought posts will not be edited. They might be hard to read, just a heads up and it might drive down views. Not that I get all that many.... Just saying. While I have been working on other writings and actually enjoying it. In general staying off social media, some days though when I just don't feel like writing I pop a random thought down. So no moving forward most of these random posts won't be well thought out, just random ideas about the world and my life. I don't want to spend more than an hour on them.  One of the better mottos is life, see below..... Trump won the election, I cannot say I am surprised. Kamala had no appeal to the common person. I hate to say it but she appealed to the rich celebs and to people in fear of another Trump presidency. That is never going to win. On the flip side how did a felon with no actual value win? The only thing I will say is the same thing I have said for the last 2 elections. Really?? These are the two best in a ...

 The UCP is buying your vote! With your own money! (This is probably old news by the time I publish this) Just like any other political party. All over Abpoli threads, that all I am seeing. Umm FYI the NDP would do the same if they were in power. I didn't see this outrage when ya'll got your carbon tax rebates. That is literally the same thing, tax $ going back into your pockets. LIKE EVERY FUCKING REBATE IN HISTORY, YOU MORONS. So yes, Danni girl is trying to buy your vote, that's politics. I keep seeing people saying they will donate it to the NDP, good for you according to you it's your money so do what you want with it. Do I tell you when I buy toilet paper? Or some are donating to charities, I can get behind that. It just blows my mind the people offended by this are the same people that were happy to get a carbon rebate, same thing dumbasses. These same people were mocking people who bitched about the carbon tax but were happy to get a cheque from the feds. Now yo...

Rap is a funny kinda music. Or genre I guess I should say. You literally can make a name for yourself by shitting on, "dissing" someone else. Like you might hear of a disagreement between say Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson BUT  not writing songs that are attack songs. PS that was fictional idea I don't think there is a "beef" there. Anyways I just have to laugh about people trying to do that to make a name. Face it Eminem is the biggest star in rap, like him or not. SO you see people taking shots at him. Look at MGK earlier this year and now Nick Cannon. Seriously, weren't you on Nickelodeon and in that drum line movie. NO one respects you in rap, just quit while your ahead. That is just me being a Stan, but its true.... The point I wanted to make though is, it is dangerous. In the 90s Biggie and Pac died over shit like this. You don't see this in other genres. And I guess people don't learn, because it keeps happening. To me I don't think I am wi...

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...

Its all over, another Xmas has come and gone. Did you get what you want? Welp it doesn't matter cause really you could be out buying in on these amazing boxing day sales right now! As I gotten older and maybe wiser I started to realize that last sentences don't matter. I mean actually I knew that a long while back but let me get down to Xmas and what is really about..... Do you remember what you got last Christmas or the one before that?? Presents are for kids. I mean yes it is a big deal then. I remember just waiting to open my Santa present. But even as a kid something better was always coming. My cousins! We would go over or they would come over and it was soooo much fun. I think that was maybe when I started to there was more to Xmas. Then I moved away, it solidified it. Coming home it didn't freaking matter what was under that tree. It meant 2 things. Time off! So that was super awesome. But more than that it meant I got to see family. My parents, grandparents and ...

Lets start with we were in the fall of 2010. Living in TCMs uncles house. I was still hating my go nowhere job. TCM was looking for a clinic, but at least could still work for KTs dad in the office. The fact was it was a rut. Nothing was changing. Or maybe that is growing up? Just eat, sleep, work and that's about it. Little did I know things were really about to change. Lets fast forward to early December like Xmas party season. KTs house had come to a boil. CJ was a mess. When she showed up to the staff Xmas party she was a mess. KT decided it was time for her to move out. I picked up a drunk Amazing, KT and TCM at the end of their party. Fun side note it was at the hotel Mac. We saw the Blackhawks that night and might have taken a couple bottles of wine from the bar.... maybe. Anyways as CJ was passed out in the basement we discussed what to do. KT wouldn't just booted her Even though TCM and I though that was the right idea. Amazing didn't want to say anything. So by th...

It is Sunday, a great day for a rant. I don't have a single thing to ramble about today just some random stuff that has been piling up. As always I didn't win the lotto and have to go back to work Tuesday. On the job front I am still enjoying my job, would love to move to "outside" sales but who knows when that will happen.... Oh and still not a published writer. The more I sit back and think about it the more I like Neil Gaiman. The guy has done everything! Books, TV, movies, comics! That would be my dream! Need to get working for that though, shit I am almost 40. Let's talk hockey cause I like to. Parents took me to the Det V Oil game last Sunday. First time I have seen the Wings win live. We had great seats, and wow service right at the seat for drinks now??? Plus Rogers food is awesome. Now for Oil fans this year is shit! A friend was saying to repeat last year a lot of guys need to have career years again, like last year. I think this year is proof there is...

TCM and I got our first place on our own April 21 2006. A townhouse condo in Castledowns. This is 8 moves in 6 years if your keeping count. I know the exact day cause it was the first playoff game of the Red Wings (My team) and the Oilers. (In the big playoff drive) My helpers demanded we have TV up and running to watch. We actually got this move done quickly to watch it. I am putting it out there. Oilers shouldn't have made it out of that first round but Rolly was amazballs. Either way our landlord was Cornelius. Of course he didn't use that name BUT he could have been Will Farrell. Literally, like he even looked liked him and could have been Buddy the Elf. He was super nice. For example, I was a dumb ass and locked the keys in the house. He lived a few blocks away so I walked over to his place and he laughed and let us in. Not that letting us in was nice but he offered me breakfast or coffee and was not at all mad. Our neighbors were great too. A newfie couple. They watched...
