Last Small Rant

 Said I wasn't blogging any new things, just finishing off what I had started. That was a lie but this will be quick and I get lunch breaks! Was using them to study but I have done relatively well so far and am stuck. Done as much as I can until early next week, so might as well write this.  It's over, well it was over the day Sniffy Joe won the election. I already ranted while I dislike Prez Cheeto as a person his policies would be beneficial to my province, country and job. So ya part of me wanted him to win but Joe did. I won't rant about how I think he won't even last 2 years but I will say NO ALBERTAN or Canadian for that matter who gives half a shit about our economic health should be celebrating. Killing Keystone is killing thousands of jobs and even more in profits. We are going to struggle to get out of the hole Covid and Trudeau put us in and this isn't like kicking someone when they are down it is like that graphic scene in American History X. I can argue...

Environment, Protests and more

Fort Mac, is not in my sales territory. Let me start with that, the fact is I actually would gain very little from Teck going. Well no more than the rest of our entire province and country. However I feel the need to write this open letter to all the fuckheads who protested. To the government with its thumb up its ass and waiting to approve it. GIVE YOUR FUCKING HEADS A SHAKE! So much to say, so little time..... First have you lived in an oil town? Whether you want to believe it or not trickle down economics works. (Not as good as they would like but it does) These guys making big bucks buy homes, cars, toys. This employs realtors, sales people, mechanics and so on. These people all spend money, so you need gas bars, groceries stores, shopping centres. You need bars and restaurants and these all need employees as well! I know this has nothing to do with the environmental issues with Teck but it is a happy truth. It would bring grow with it. I had read over 7000 employees to develop i...

Just more random ideas on my life!

I was bothered by an article I read on huffington post the other day. Not having kids sing the anthem in school. To me this is going too far, with social justice or whatever you want to call in now. I had to sing it in the morning, didn't hurt me. I get taking the lords prayer out. We had to say that, "back in the day" Now there are so many people of different religions that maybe it has become inappropriate, I can give you that. HOWEVER why take away the anthem? Are we not all Canadian? People talk about lacking Canadian identity and we want to take away our national song? They claimed it is hyper nationalist. And? We should take pride in our nation. NO it doesn't say everything is good and nothing bad. Why would you write a song trying to instill national pride with the bad in it? I mean I guess you can call me backwards, redneck, whatever you want but IMO the national anthem should be said. Millions or even billions of people would like to come here. To have the li...

Rant Circa 2010 Part 4

Second last old rant.... Circa 2010. No editing done.... Parts of it don't make much sense to me either lol...... I am saddened by the death of common courtesy. He was mostly a good friend, he never asked for much yet often he made a shitty day just slightly better. That one small act, known simply as common courtesy brought a small token of happiness to millions and I believe he has been killed. Last weekend we went back to my home town, driving through the parking lot of the mall a fellow waved to me... (See fellow pleasant way to say some dude I dunno, maybe the changing of common words has helped speeding the death), anyhow. My girlfriend asks who was that? I dunno just a friendly person, has a wave become that foreign of a concept? Door holding, is that gone also? I have noticed people are either really happy or confused when you hold the door for them, I find that sad. My dad would slap us upside the head is we didn’t hold the door for people. I personally blame the guidos...

Dear Jenna.... Or just a rant

I am gonna start this with a bit of random praise! The Witcher series is amazing! The books which started the whole thing are so well written. If you are into fantasy I would go buy them right now. Start with the short stories and then move on to the actual series. Fantasy mixed with morality, very well done. Then came the games, Witcher 3 is probably my favorite game of all time. Crazy good. Replacing maybe Mafia 3 which has fack all for replayablity. Is that a word??? Or GTA 4. Just a heads up to telltale games the new Batman is also not that great. I mean it ain't terrible but I expected more. My brother also bought me NHL 2018. This game pisses me off. I am the top point getter in the league but still sent to the AHL. Like really?? Did I want to buy a game so I could play in the minors?? WTF, but yes that is a first world problem. I was actually going to call this entry dear Jenna. See even if your not "into" porn I am willing to bet you have either heard the name J...

FUCK JANE FONDA

I think that I am pretty open minded for a Good Old Northern Alberta Boy( Or have gotten much better in the last decade). 90 percent of the time I am willing to at least try another to see anothers prospective. I did try and give the NDP a chance, I dislike them now based on the last two years. I didn't go all Trump tarded, for me most things need dealt with in the middle ground. Too far either way never seems to work..... But here we are, some dim witted work out video making mother fucker goes and gets my hillbilly side up. Here is a person born into money, who never had to work a day in her life. Unlike the 1000's of people who go to camps to work long days to support a family. Maybe if she hadn't been born with a silver spoon, she might not be so damn mouthy. Next she is made of PLASTIC! Is she aware of what is used to make plastic and in essence to make her??!! Like this makes me insane, these Hollywood "stars" (Lets be honest this old bitch ain't be re...

Open letter to none Oil based Canada

Hello Canada, Picture me in a nice house coat sitting in front of my laptop sipping a warm coffee writing to all of you. I would rather not have to write this but the thing is I am tired of hearing how our province, Alberta is the devil. Also I am pretty tired of hearing my province divided. So in my house coat even though I am only 34 I will kindly explain whats wrong with all this like a grand father to children. Or Yoda as he is pretty f'ing wise. So lets start with the broken province, my home Alberta. Lets be honest 44 years in power was an amazing feat. AND you cant say that was all on good times because many who live here remember when times weren't great (The 80s. It wasn't just bad music, movies and blow. The economy did suck!) SO for argument sake lets say the PC were doing something right. You don't stay in democratic government for 44 years by doing wrong. I am way to lazy to look it up but in a REAL democracy I think that might be a record! Now lets als...
