The Briar Patch

 Too much on the go! I dunno why, well I do I just started doing too much and not doing what I should. I have said to myself for like 3 months now FOCUS! My list has been Blog, Write, Read, Hockey, Comics, Family Tree, Work trips, Try and do yard stuff and garden. Oh plus keep up on TV and such! I know it is a first world problem but man I barely seem to have time to try and finish the things I want to do. So I set my mind on a plan. A real plan. I am going to come up with 5 or 6 blogs over the next week. The release them a week or two apart and that SHOULD fill my need to blog. Plus that should cover like 2 / 3 months of blogging. I have a submission guide for a comic company and I want to get a couple submissions off in that time! Once those are done I am going to work solely on editing a a story and finishing another. All my writing in a row.... Then Family tree I think is simply a lunch time project. I can do it at work and right now it seems almost as done as I can get it. I m...

Welp we got to see JT’s true face. No the blackface isn’t his true face but the white, rich, arrogant, privileged face is. I really don’t care he did it, once, twice or three times. What I take issue with is hypocrisy. He can’t blame being young. He was educated and actually teaching at that point. Then he went on to blame his privilege. REALLY?! I am not sure, BUT I think Bill Gates who has a bit more is well aware that would be the wrong thing to do. So that is another terrible excuse. JT isn’t some Social Justice Warrior that they want to paint him to be. He has fired women who don’t back down to him. He has blocked ethics investigations. He mocked native Americans with his “Thanks for your donation”. And sure it might just be bitter ole me BUT I still swear forgetting Alberta in a Canada address was an on purpose slap in the Wests face. Face it people he is a rich white boy, the exact thing people claim all conservatives are. He was grabbed because of his name and propped up to g...

AS A NOTE THIS WAS STARTED A FEW DAYS BEFORE THE ALBERTA PROVINCIAL ELECTION My timeline on twitter seemed a bit less crazy the last few days and I wondered why. It didn't take to long though to put my finger on I hadn't seen anything from Canada's White Pride darling Faith Goldy. So I looked her up and finally I was blocked. I give her an A+. It took her a lot longer than thin skin Ezzie and the rest of rebel media to join the I blocked Tavis club. James Woods is a member, if you wanna be in that crowd. I took a bit of pride in the fact I can apparently offend asshats with common sense. Yes I have said a few nasty things but I never, start that way. So I scrolled through my timeline and started to think what the hell? They aren't the only insane ones, the fact is half the damn world has gone mad. The more I read, the more I thought, hey those nutters occasionally make a point. I mean don't misquote that, even a broken clock is right twice a day but some of the po...

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...

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...

Let's go Federal. I am gonna start with memes that hurt people's feelings. Grow up. You see these signs, memes, shirts whatever calling for Trudeau to be hung or whatever and people getting all misty eyed about it. Ya I woudn't post them but I sure aint about to get all pissy about them. Where was the outrage for Harper when liberal supporters painted his as Hitler? I mean they were memes just the same and he was being portrayed as one of histories greatest monsters. Responsible for genocide. Social justice and all we shouldn't be attacking him like that. I have no problem posting shit about Trudeau even if it offends. I just gotta get that off my chest. Let's start with the liberal party of Canada. I can't even.... No for real I can't. I personally have seen no value in their time in power. They are the social justice party. Don't get me wrong or misquote that social justice is a good thing. All MEN (ya I said it men, meaning people in general because...
