The Briar Patch

SPOILERS below just FYI for Witcher Netflix season 2 I said I wasn't doing this, in fact I have another blog almost good to go saying no more random blogs BUT I have to do this one. Its the Witcher! Its my jam! The books are awesome and I admit I sadly only played Wild Hunt I didn't do 1 or 2 but I do know the storylines.... So let me quickly jump into Netflix season 2.... First let me say I have heard more than once they have a seven season goal. I admit 7 / 8 seems to be the ideal length for shows. Look at Walking Dead and it dragging out and getting awful.... BUT I am asking for more than 7! Or at least more episodes / season if that is the plan. I pretty much watched the whole season in a Sunday afternoon evening. You could make 7 seasons just based on the Wild Hunt game let alone all the source material they are using for the show. (Hell Blood and Wine could be a few seasons & even Hearts of Stone is a season or 2) First off I want to say production value seems better....

So what's good? I am constantly asking myself that. There are a million options now a days. Cable, which is going downhill, Disney Plus, Netflix and Prime are all the things we have. I could go on about a million shows I have watched over the years BUT I think I am going to say it has to have aired in the last 3. I also figure I need to keep it down two 1 or 2 per service or this will go on all day.  I have to start with Game of Thrones. I am not about to go deep into it because for 7 seasons it was the best show on T.V. Yes it had some slow moments and some gross moments but it might have been the best thing on T.V. I will go as far as to say ever. Then we had the final season, with no source material. Could we just redo it? I am not complaining because I didn't like it, that it wasn't an ending I wanted. I mean how often did that show do something fans didn't want. I rant because it really was awful. Arya killed the Night King. Sure that was awesome, but that's it...

I said I was doing less blogging and it would be more pointed and not until 2020. This one is more pointed at least. Not just the scribbles in my head. It might not be 2020 when I am starting this, I am starting it Dec 24th..... Also I shouldn't have to say this but since it is a review SPOILERS ahead! However I am editing now January 3rd, so I imagine if you haven't seen it. You probably aren't about to. It is the of course on the Witcher. You should have known I would have to blog on that on, if you have followed any writing I have done. Years ago like 2015 / 2016 The Programmer was telling me PLAY THE WITCHER, it is up your alley you will love it! I ignored him, I shouldn't have, by the time I played the Witcher 3, the hype had died down, so maybe 2017 I first started it. I put over 180 hours in and loved every minute. There honestly isn't many games nearly as good. The game play is great. The graphics years later, are still good and the main thing the story is...

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...

So the weather has been shit this year, so far for the summer at least. I complained last year it was too hot. I will take that any day over the wet of this year. I mean my garden is doing okay but it is so wet I really don't wanna go stand in mud and weed. Even though that is what it really needs. I should be out there now since again they call for rain this afternoon, but it has been awhile since I wrote. It messes up the chance to get out and have a fire. Or fish, or golf or even let the dog play. And he needs it! This time inside is making him mental!! So I put one thought out into the air.... Please let the weather get better... Would interviews be cool here? To the 20 - 120 people who seem to read this would you like interviews?? I have a couple I would like to do and post here. I dunno, if you know my twitter or what email me or something and give me your thoughts.... Looking to expand my writing, funny story well maybe not funny but a story about that coming up. I might b...

I am old! I turned 37 a couple days ago. I celebrated by y going out for dinner with friends and their kids. Oh and I took out a library book and went to the farmers market. My 20th Birthday was a 4 day bender which had highlights like getting 20 some people kicked out of a bar on Whyte Ave. A female friend sleeping with a guitarist from a semi famous Canadian band at a rock concert and showing Twig and Berries to some random chicks on a balcony on Canada Day. I got a fit bit for my birthday which is a cool present but it to made me feel old. It is super neat how I can scan in what I eat and drink and it will count calories and junk for me but as I take my diabetic pill again I realize at 20 I would not have paid attention to that. My work has always given employees $25 o the Bday, it used to buy me a two-six. This year I bought fresh peas, carrots a starbucks coffee and a dog dish. I realized also I have now lived in the Edmonton area for 18 years, 18! WTF! Now I moved here in 2000 ...
