The Briar Patch

I know what first world problems are, I can read them as I write these words. But FUCK you Covid 19. As of this writing the NHL is suspended. So winning that $600 or $700 that I was only a couple points out I would say is done. I bought tickets to the Chicago play here in the city. Well that is closed. Next week was supposed to be the Tool light show. World of science is closed. That's just my mini problems. My wifes' gym membership is on hold, which is awesome actually for them to do that! (As of this going live I think many gyms have now done that) I don't know they were supposed to, but I say kudos to the gym for doing that. (Even if I can't say which one) I have no confirmation yet BUT I am going to say both my Co-ed hockey and Mens league that I was supposed to be back in this year will be gone. There goes me getting back into shape. Currently I don't want to go for runs outside! All those are whiny issues, minor issues. The biggest fuck you from Covid is my Eu...

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...

Me spending $60 million.... They are drawing for $60 million tomorrow. I am sure this won't be posted by then BUT I am going to tell you how I would spend it. FIRST upgrade some things. New truck, I mean I love my lil Honda but probably a fully loaded F150. And a new car, a nice sports car. Likely a Mustang and of course the wife would need a new ride to! MAYBE just maybe a bike for the summer but we will see. So lets say $200,000 for those 4 things.... My wife wouldn't like it BUT I would want to upgrade the house. Like build my own, outside BUT close to the city. I am saying $1 mill right there. There is nothing wrong with our current house. It is nice and if I was to win say a single mill I wouldn't want to move but I am playing with money here.... So $1,200,000 gone now.. Then maybe upgrade wardrobe, and stuff inside house. I am going to go HIGH here and say $80,000 just to make it a round $2,000,000. Now before I get down to a new life, do some travel! First New York f...

So as of this moment Jan 9th 605 AM Trump hasn't started a war. But I gotta post my take from it anyways. Only Trump or his fucked up government would think they could assassinate a foreign government official. Especially one from Iran! Did they really think they would back down?? Some countries honestly might, our limp wristed leader maybe... Iran is not about to, they have to show strength to keep their dictatorship up. So they threaten to retaliate, go figure..... So what does the bone spur having draft dodger say, he will blow up cultural sites. THAT A FUCKING WAR CRIME! Everyone, even some of his supporters called him out and then he back pedaled. Like a champ. How is he always doing this and people still supporting him? Either way they attacked, like they promised they would. I guess two bases, though I heard three originally. No American casualties. Chump backed down, I guess it has blown over? Who knows by the time I post this what will have happened. Now I know Iran had to...

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...

Rap is a funny kinda music. Or genre I guess I should say. You literally can make a name for yourself by shitting on, "dissing" someone else. Like you might hear of a disagreement between say Garth Brooks and Alan Jackson BUT  not writing songs that are attack songs. PS that was fictional idea I don't think there is a "beef" there. Anyways I just have to laugh about people trying to do that to make a name. Face it Eminem is the biggest star in rap, like him or not. SO you see people taking shots at him. Look at MGK earlier this year and now Nick Cannon. Seriously, weren't you on Nickelodeon and in that drum line movie. NO one respects you in rap, just quit while your ahead. That is just me being a Stan, but its true.... The point I wanted to make though is, it is dangerous. In the 90s Biggie and Pac died over shit like this. You don't see this in other genres. And I guess people don't learn, because it keeps happening. To me I don't think I am wi...

I Yoga'd! I want a bumper sticker that says that. Okay it wasn't the first time. I had done "relaxation" yoga before. I enjoyed it, There wasn't much to it, ground poses and a lot of time to think This new one was kind of the same. Slightly more intense. Plus much warmer and not even so called hot yoga. Like the Butterfly pose. Wow it pointed out I have old man hips. It still had a lot of laying on the ground. Internalizing. But with other lower body poses. Ones that told me yes you need to stretch more. I am at a loss though, when they tell you to relax your mind what the goal is. Maybe my mind is too relaxed, with TV, books, video games, writing. I don't sit and worry too much until I need to. Laying there trying to think of nothing, literally crowded my mind with everything. So for the general relaxing part of it not so sure... BUT the actual workout of it ya, I give to yoga people kudos. There is work there, the few poses we did I could feel in my so calle...
