The Briar Patch

Cold enough for you? I cannot handle this phrase anymore! I know it is cold in Edmonton but can we stop with this?? Like really what do you want me to reply? No I wish it was colder. Like so cold we would just die when we went outside.  Fuck what do you think???!! It is cold enough! Don’t ask again. Like working hard or hardly working GAWD! Also when did we all forget how to drive? As soon as a single skiff of snow hits E-town it is like no one remembers we have been driving here for years in snow. In the last week I have had a few near misses, not my fault either! IN fact if I was a more aggressive driver I would have hit a couple people. So for once my granny driving has paid off. I love this on lazy weekends, being on call and the cold means I get some extra cash. HOWEVER it really suck when you have plans and they get interrupted by the after hours call. That is always when people call to, it’s never when you’re doing nothing but always when you’re out for a nice meal or somet...

SO I said I wasn't going to blog for a bit cause I was pouring all my time into finishing a manuscript. I lied. Not on purpose but I find it is easier to take a break just rant a bit and then get back at 'er. SO here is just some unedited fluff of the last few weeks. Everyone has heard about the Humboldt Broncos tragedy. I am not going to say much about it, what more can you?? I read it could be used as a Canadian fiction tragedy. All these young hockey players cut down before their lives even began. And yet it is fiction, it happened. It was terrible. Lets talk about the aftermath. First what are they doing with the $15 million raised??? I hope it is used for good things. I would think it will be but when you start talking about that much $$$ shady things always become involved. Rebel media and Ezra hit an all time new low. That is really saying something... Using it to sell rebel??? Come on, you want to know the truth that is the most un Canadian thing ever done, using dead...

So this is a fluff piece! The fact is I am starting 10 days off (Down to 8 now, started this 2 days ago!) and I really wanted to have a rough draft done for a kids story that a friend might do some drawings for. I hit the common stumbling block I often hit. I work on at least 3 stories in my head at a time. Then one over powers another and I want to focus on it. Well after thinking the kids story for weeks a different one has taken control. This week I NEED to focus on the kids story but cant, so hoping some fluff will put me in the right mind set to get back on that. So fluff time, then FOCUS! Firstly 10 days off! I have never had this much time off and not had something to do. Like last times we had weeks off we went to Disney. If only I could I would be on a plane there now! Before that we went to Victoria. Stay Cation it is, trying to find ways to not be bored. So I made a small list of shit to do. (Another update, list done.... 8 days to go) Some staining and painting around the...

Some random shit bugging me, well first I am sitting in a Tim’s blogging like some sort of hipster douche!! But oh well without the worldwide web I might not get distracted! But why is it Tim’s is against English speaking people. I really hate not knowing what people preparing my food and drink are saying. Specially when they laugh…. Going to see Beauty and the Beast tomorrow. Honestly it looks good. I think Disney sunk a lot of money but into a winner. Emma looks like she nailed it! I mean Disney might try making everything a live action reboot but this one looks good. To the people protesting a gay character just give you damn head a shake! I am thinking you may be closeted and worried seeing a gay Disney chartcer might make you come flying out of the closet.     The Oilers well they scored 14 goals in 2 games, that’s 7 a piece! Here is the thing Oiler fans. That is not the CUP!!!! I like the rebuild. It actually started. Not like the last decade or two.  Withi...
