The Briar Patch

 I have to start this with my take on the world. Call me selfish, an asshole, whatever you want but I think masks are a joke! I think this pandemic is a gong show. Imagine a virus so deadly you need to be tested just to see if you have it. So deadly there is over a 99% recovery rate. You actually have a better chance of recovering from it than a condom does to stop a baby. As of this writing 3026 people in Alberta have covid. We have a population of 4,371,000 That means there is currently 0.00069% of the population infect. HOW with any common sense can you be frightened by this? Now that I have said that I will put the other part. IF you are elderly, immunosuppressed or something I understand your worries. Not even being cruel but yes maybe you should stay isolated. I get it sucks, I am going mental with our "isolation" this year and I don't have it too bad. However for your own health I would say it is probably best to stay safe. If tomorrow someone came out and said the...

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...

 This one is a short unedited rant. Covid and all the other crazy shit going on in the world these people are showing their truest most annoying selves. Basically this is a rant about everyone lower, (younger, younger may be a better word) than Gen X. But let me start with Gen X and the boomers. You did this to yourselves. I am not sure why you decided that everyone was a special snowflake and that everything will be fair and the world will bend to make people happy. It won't. SO WHY DID YOU DO IT???  This all stems from a "feminist" financial advisors tweet. Claiming the current economic system isn't held up by hard work but by... Unpaid women of labour at home, White supremacy, Patriarchy, generational wealth, environmental destruction and on and on.... Whining, the same person constantly complaining the "Boomers" had it so easy, it sets my teeth on edge. Unpaid labour of women at home actually hurts the economy. If these women were out making  money they ...

 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...

 Social media is the worst..... There I said it. Ya that sounds hypocritical I know it but it is true. I decided that while I want to mostly do Pop Culture blogs this one is gonna mix politics and pop. I am gonna break down Social Media for ya. Or at least the platforms I am on. I don't even mean the danger in social media, like why 12 year olds don't really need to be on it! I literally just mean the platforms and my thoughts.  This whole thing is inspired by me having another Twitter ban. Charlie Kirk is literally a king of Trumptards. I can admit when a trumptard has a point I don't think I have ever had to do that for this clown. He called Michelle Obama a national disgrace. I simply asked how he could say that but support someone who wants to bang his own daughter and whose wife was a gold digger. Wake up the next morning and I am in twitter jail. This is I dunno, time 8 and 6 are likely for comments on good ole Charlie. Now I think it was trumptards that invented the ...

So we re-watched Infinity War and Endgame again. Then started on X men First Class. This opening isn't anything I haven't said before. I don't know how the MCU will make Phase 4 work. Tony and Steve were the heart of it all. Robert and Chris made these characters amazing and I am so not sure where they will go from their. Phase 4 I am sure will be a transition phase to be honest. They seem to be throwing a lot of "B" grade and down material at the wall to see what sticks. Some might, some I am sure won't. I am honestly excited for Dr. Strange and the Multiverse of Madness. I never thought I would say I was excited for a Doc Strange movie. However all my hopes lie in the fact hopefully this can open good plot lines for Phase 4 OR it will simply be a phase to introduce the rights Disney acquired to round out the MCU. That's right, the Xmen and FF. Iron man and Cap are gone. Thor has 1 decent movie. The guardians are good but not a heart and soul. Cap Marvel ...

This entry isn't really pop culture, so sorry while I have turned over a new leaf I promise. There are still things I want / need to say. Also this one is oh 13 years behind. I started listening to a  new podcast. Canadian True Crime. (So maybe this was inspired by pop culture I guess) Anyways I had listened to one on the Black Donnelly murders, 140 years ago if you know about them. If not they are actually fairly interesting and you should look them up. I am back travelling and had enough drive time to listen to the 4 parter on Robert Pickton. The fact is I would have thought I knew about this but I really didn't pay attention to it until, well today. So 13 years behind. I am going to try and not be offensive but I do have some things to say about this crazy true crime saga that may not be the most popular to hear. I do want it to be noted this is totally based off the info from the podcast. If I am missing something, I pre apologize. In fact I do think I will try and buy a bo...
