The Briar Patch

Promise for the last time I am going to rant about men's league ball hockey. Well at least for this season, or for awhile. I hate sandbaggers. It should be a rule if a person is good enough to compete in say div 4, they should not be allowed to play in 9. Now yes this would screw me a bit. My friend Cook wouldn't be allowed to sub, which I would miss but overall I think it would make the league better. Yes it might be bitterness BUT when a team is stacked it is lame. And I get wanting to pad points, but what kind of person wants to drop like that?? I prefer a challenge! Ya I wish I had more points but I wouldn't want to win games like I do on a video game.... It is August long.... Usually this is a HOT one but so far this AM looking grey out. (I am sure I won't finish this today and will be able to comment on the actual weather) I am supposed to go on a urban pedal tour. (The weather turned out fine, a bit windy later but a great day for a pedal tour! I also highly re...

Just a quick unedited rant today as I make my breakfast and get ready to head to Jasper. Skiing tomorrow, I am not the best at it but I aint terrible. I can handle the blue runs and some easy blacks. It started last week, went with the inlaws to a family ski thing here in Edmonton. They brought their niece and it was super fun. SO the next day they went to get their skis waxed and some how the father in law bought me skis and the fiance bought me boots. Oh and the decided we are going to Jasper. I am good with that been a few years since I was at Marmot. Forecast is a cold ass day. Hope not but either way should be a good day. NOW the real thing is the difference in this trip. I used to go with friends and it was more a party than skiing. This time however it is the opposite. I doubt I will be too hungover to make it to the hill! Plus we are bringing our dog, we doesn't travel well. My truck will get at least one vomit in it. I just hope he don't howl all day in the hotel. Can...

So another year has come to an end. I am 35 now. Which doesn't mean much except the start of a beer belly from a year of not as much activity as I should have had. Not a shit ton changed in my life. Still work the same job at the same place. Live in the same house and drive the same old truck. Still didn't publish ANYTHING! My thoughts on Channillo changed. I mean I might move my blog that no one reads over there. If people wanna pay a monthly fee and read it well I am okay with that. And if it fails I can always come back to this free site. I did finally get Netflix this December! Fritzin Fritz that is the shit! I also joined the modern world and got an X Box ! This was a great idea. First big shout out to Tell Tale Games. Love Wolf Among Us, Game of Thrones and the New Batman awesome! The Xbox 1 also boosts new NHL games which a slick. And I finally got a game in the Mafia Series. Like the story more than the new Grand Theft but GTA is still king of crime games. We had a coup...

SO I think I have made it super clear how much I hate reality T.V. So I sat back and wondered what the fuck it must be like to be on some of those shows. So below is my take on a few of them or what it must be like.... I assume Jim Bob Duggar must get up and wait for his wife to make him some breakfast as they are old fashioned and I cant imagine he knows his way around a kitchen that's "women's work" Likely prays his son isn't ya know "diddling" anyone and makes sure his wife doesn't get a hair style from the last twenty years.... Then Josh Duggar I am assuming comes out of one of his sisters rooms. Gives his fingers a quick sniff (Too far?) and heads to the nearest laptop to find another mistress. Also is anyone else super creeped out how much his wife looks like his sisters??? But then since hopefully they are off the air forever nothing else happens! NO camera crews no nothing just a bunch of freaks sitting around being freaky! Now you gott...

One day when people look back and want to know what 2015 was like. This here will be my take on it! It may or may not be "correct" but here is a small part of my understanding of the last year. Some Random Events - Greece went broke, how a whole country does that I dunno. Ireland made same sex marriage legal! Good job you drunken bastards! The US supreme court followed that up to. Baltimore had riots when yet another person died in police custody. Yes these incidents should be looked into. Police are not above the law. But if you are looting you're part of the problem. After another tragic shooting, the south was forced to take down confederate flags. Really?! Cause that will eliminate bigotry. Alberta is reactionary - Straight up my beloved province is reactionary. Lets be honest, the PC Alberta government was at worst a fat bloated over self indulgent beast. At best it was a government letting Alberta be Alberta. They needed to go and that ass Jim Prentice made sure...

Old Korn rocks, listening to their first album as I write. So whats new in my life? Well thanks for asking. I turned 34. without much for bells and whistles. I find as I get older my birthday means less. I mean when your a kid its great. Presents, parties, cakes. From like 18 to 31, it was all about the party. Be it in a bar, a strip club or even at the lake birthdays meant hangovers. Now a nice dinner out and a quiet fire is enough. I have been back from Disney for a month and I miss the hell outta it. That was a fackin fun trip! So as I get rich I will be back there. My insano neighbour asked for 24 hours notice before I have backyard fires. I am tempted to have 1 every night now. My mind is working on 3 stories. Well 2 stories and a comic. The first issue of the comic is almost done just needs typed and maybe I could for once try to submit something. Conner McDavid is all that Edmonton is about. Seriously, just stop. I hope to hell the kid pans out but stop putting the dreams of a...

I blame survivor. Remember the first one, when people actually watched it? When it was a sensation and people had Finale parties? Good times, but then it carried on and on and on. Then came the clones. Damn you big brother.... Whats worse is these show were made to bring out the worst in people. The best way to win is to lie and betray. Even this is livable until every damn thing in the world became a reality show. When did a good story line vanish so we could watch other people whine about their lives?? And when did the learning channel become a line up of "reality" soap operas....... Fuck the Kardashians. Straight up WTF? Why do people watch and why do people care? Bruce Jenner looks like he really wants to be a woman. Maybe the tabloids are right about him. Rob is pathetic. "I go to bed early, rise early and worry about my socks." That is exactly what my puppy does to. The three sister have 0 talent. 0, except maybe sucking dick dunno... Without the make up and...

I wont lie, I am lazy. I am whiny and I have a lot of first world problems! Well not all these are first world problems some of them are just my personal pet peeves, here is a small list of them! First is one I stole from a friend who pointed it out, the phrase I'm starving. NO, no your not. You might be hungry, maybe peckish, famished but I really doubt you are starving. Here is a first world problem... I need to lose weight. Well maybe but half the world or more has the problem of not enough to eat!!! My car starter is crappy. Yes Ford put in a shitty car starter, sometimes I even half to go outside to make it work. But I have a freakin car starter, hell I have a truck and don't have to ride the bus or walk.... Tim Hortons, your getting on my nerves. Seriously English is a second language in most of your outlets. And whatever it is annoying but I can live with it. However stop trying to upsell me at 630! I have eaten and I am on my way to work. I don't wanna try any...
