The Briar Patch

So I started this one a month or more ago. Couldn't seem to fill it and then one day it all came tumbling out. There ended up being more Abpoli and Cdnpoli than I had planned. So I mean skip it if you don't want. Sure there is the normal comics, movies, games and such as well. I guess just a heads up, it is a real mixed bag and you may want to skip parts.... Or I guess if you are reading for the poli skip the gaming and TV lol. So I gotta hand it to Justin Trudeau, he actually trolled the right wing rather well. He wore a pink hoodie and took his son to Barbie. Also tagging it team Barbie. Of course some rightwing heads exploded, he's gay! No taking your son to see a movie and and wearing pink doesn't make you gay. Although it really comes off as trying to be a "cool single dad" since him and Sophies split. Anyways most Conservatives just hoped it was a spoof, it isn't of course and again the leader of Canada becomes an international laughing stock. My tho...

I am going to start out with how winning Edmonton is! Them Elks sure are doing good! Still no wins so far this season. Overall they are 7 - 33 since changing their name. I don't believe the universe works like this but it sure does seem go woke go broke.... They had more wins in their final season as the Esk than they have the entire time they have been the Elks. Also watching vids from K-days this year. What the hell Edmonton? While I have been writing a few entries to try and make this city and well the world in general a better place, then I watch videos from K days and think fuck it, its a damn cesspool just let it sink. Look out for number one and let idiots ruin everything for everyone. Like literally we can't even have a carnival without numerous fights and bear fucking spray. God damn we are embarrassing. Then I try and put it all aside and remember I have been to Kdays with friends when we were much younger and a fight broke out. Maybe these people that look like ass c...

 I love people who are against credit scores and overdraft fees. Thats sarcasm and I say this as someone who has had a shit credit score for many years. Yes credit scores are annoying, they have kept me from phones and credit cards. They made me angry but I do understand them. The banks are not going to give money to someone who isn't going to pay it back. Companies aren't going to issue credit if you can't pay it. A lesson I learned. Right here I have to say thanks to Capital One and Bell for taking a chance. Oh and BMO as well. The system does need an overhaul though. If a person shows legit payments that should count for something. If you have been working hard and it shows, companies IMO should try and work with the person. I know micro loans worked very well in Bangladesh and could work here as well. A small loan paid back would show the person is trying and might be worth taking a risk on. Also to the people mad about credit scores, keep in mind loans before were base...

Wokeness is a disease. I have 0 problem stating the truth. The fact is the meaning if you google is alert to injustice, especially racism. Now that in itself is GOOD! I would HOPE most of us can agree on that. It has just went way past that. It has become self righteous virtue signaling. That basically the world should now be a free for all and if we don't accept everything everyone says or feels we are bad! The irony is the woke people won't wokely accept the people who don't agree with them. I thought that was the whole thing or the basis of it, acceptance. Plainly not everything is racist or homophobic. Not everyone who disagrees with you is a Nazi. First off wokeness can only exist because we live in the free world. The very fact that freedom lets it exist to assault other peoples freedoms is ironic. Also this might not be a popular thing to say but people don't have to accept others. People should be allowed to believe what they want. NOW saying that doesn't me...

 3, I currently have 3 blogs half done NOT counting this one. So I aim to finish them, just been a lot going on with my head full of ideas and none flow together great. So this is a mixed bag... Lets time travel, to the late 80s, early 90s. I am a hockey nut. I love hockey cards, collect them all. Love spending hours outside playing hockey in front of the house winter or summer. My fav team should have been the Oilers in Northern Alberta right? Wrong I went by my hockey cards and liked Detroit. They had these 2 young superstars Lidstrom and Fedorov. Plus some guy named Stevie was the captain. For a few years I was big into hockey, then about high school I stopped really caring. They were just jocks, lame. Of course this was the time the Wings were unbeatable and it would have been way better to be a loud and proud fan....I moved to Edmonton and was surrounded by Oiler fans and still didn't care. Until I started in a fantasy league. I went with my favs, many from the mid 90s on the ...
