The Briar Patch

Its Lake Ontario and the Gulf of Mexico, always has been always will be you stupid orange Pedo fuck!  Are you pumped for Doomsday?? I am, sort of. I already said the trailers keep showing Doom stopping Stormbreaker with 2 fingers and that looks fucking cheesy. Marvel keeps writing the whole "Infinity Saga" as kind of worthless. Thanos was so big and bad with the gauntlet but then Loki sees Infinity Stones as paper weights in the TVA and Doom stops an attack with 2 fingers that the Gauntlet couldn't? "Hell answers to me" Somethings look super cheesy BUT a lot of it looks really good. Of course most trailers look really good. Honestly lets be glad this "Multiverse Saga" is over. Since Endgame the MCU really hasn't been great. Guardians 3 was amazing, Spiderman recently blew up the box office but in general the movies and series they have put out have been meh, at best. Maybe they had a plan with Kang but it imploded. Maybe people do have a super hero...

 Old as balls, thats what I am.... Well not yet only 45 recently but man looking back on the mid 80s until now, wow things have changed. Not the point though, I had a "birthday party" recently at the Canadian Brew House by my house. It became clear I no longer "party". First we were there by 5PM and out by 745. In younger years, usually couldnt actually afford to go out like that so it was a back yard BBQ that started around 6. It would be noisy and last half the night, hell most years the sun would be up by the time I laid down. Now the loudest thing is my friends kids running around. No one gets out of hand. My friends are amazing and assholes at the same time. Most other Bdays we just have a nice meal, same with mine but they still buy me shots for some reason when they dont with others. Maybe not having children makes them think I can still handle it. I actually did a decent job, only cause it ended early! A bunch of shots, plus wine and vodka doesnt sit in the ...

Hockey players can be either douches or great guys. Let me tell you about some douches. We recently played a team all say 17 - 21 and they literally all looked like someone you would cast as the rich bully in a teen drama. They literally all would have been perfectly cast, except not like a muscled bully just a rich kid. They constantly chirped which is part of hockey but then back shit up when you shit talk, don't just scurry away, like rats. What really got me was they singled out a single player to try and pick on. Someone with some issues. If you have to "punch down" your a loser, you should be embarrassed. I am 5 foot fuck all and I take pride in battling guys way bigger than me. Hell I lose a lot but I cause them issues. Everyone on my team even says that, punching down I couldn't imagine. Plus they had 2 "coaches" on the bench. Guys my age, probably a couple dads I assume. Flat out WTF! Your in a rec league of ball hockey in the lowest or almost lowes...

So the States are liberating Iran. The fact is, its not a bad thing. Not a lot of good ever comes from there. The regime of the last 40 some years is actually awful. Lets not kid ourselves about it though, the only reason this is happening is the Epstein files. Chump doesn't give a shit about freedom or helping these people. He wants the world to move on, what better way than trying to be a hero. Also that is going to lock a lot of votes in for his party. Him saying servicemen may die it happens in war is terrible. It does look like Lord Farquad in Shrek. Trumps have never served once, in fact they have dodged the draft. Don't see Barron running out to fight. Remember a couple years back when chump said Obama would create a war with Iran to improve his poll numbers... Ya good times. Or when he said he wouldn't create new wars.... Keep in mind this wasn't him being a good human. This has dragged on! I wrote that the first day the war started. Now its been dragging on and...

I can still taste the bitter defeat from yesterday. When a very under preforming USA defeat Canada in the gold medal mens hockey game. No sports is never about who deserves it, in this case its about who gets the most goals and the states did but they did not deserve it!! 4 nations USA was scary, they played well. Olympics except for maybe 3 minutes in the first period they did not look like a pro team. They looked like beer leaguers against an NHL squad. However in a single game Hellebuyck should have won tournament MVP. 41 saves and .976 save %. Any other day and Canada wins that 4 or  5-1 for sure. Stopping breakaways by McDavid and Cellebrini. That save on Devon Toews is iconic and his stick stopping that will go down as an all time great hockey pic. Also Mackinnon forgetting his is one of the worlds elite players and shooting on an open net like I do is going to haunt him for a long time!! Not going to blame them but the reffing was awful. I guess counting too many men is hard...

I lied, it is clear I wont have a chance to get back to a travel blog this year 2025. Hell it might be 2026 before this is even up! So ending on some more random thoughts. Mostly unedited and well for real last one like this I am doing for a month. At least. New goal for 2026 travel blog out every 2 weeks until last trip is done. Want it to be done before I go to Spain this year!! Oh I am posting this January 2nd. A big chunk right in the middle is Stranger Things with some massive spoilers if you haven't watched final season be warned.  Hockey ended shitty. We finished 3rd in our div. For once it felt like the right div, winning as much as losing. We got a wild card round Bye, then quarter final single game elimination we played a team with only 2 wins. One we handled easily BUT no one showed up. Not figuratively, really. We had a tiny bench and they beat us. The legit season we could have made a good playoff run we lost. I can't say much, I didn't play I was working. I mi...

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 c...
