Edmonton / Highway of Tears

This was going to be a small paragraph in a bigger random blog but it grew really fast and the fact is I thought it was rather interesting so it will be post of its own. I decided to add some of these womens names. I once heard a pod about Jack the Rippers victims, that humanized them. I think thats what should be done, why glorify freak shows and forget about the people who suffered because of them. Also I added a bit more as I was just going to, just quickly mention Edmonton but I think it is bigger than that. Also still cannot find a legit decent looking charity to donate to for MMIWG.... Msg me if you know one! IS there a serial killer in Edmonton? Or was there one active? On another long drive home I came across podcasts on EPS, which led to pods on what they called the Edmonton - Leduc murders. Which if you have been around Edmonton for awhile I know you have heard of. I just was unaware of the amount and length of time this had been going on. First thing though not all these mur...

July Junk!

I am now in Managerial Skill Development. I finished HR with an 89.5% and it made me realize I have become a "keener" I was actually mad I got .5 less and was thinking why could I not have gotten one more test answer right to bump it to 90%. It is still an A but the roundness of that number sounds much better. If I am honest this newest course is not what I expected, it is very psychology driven. Or so far it has been. Looking internally at our strengths and weakness. Which I do understand is important for a manager just not what I expected. Also it is online BUT we are expected to do a group project. I am nervous about that for 2 reasons. 1) 20 years ago I legit was the guy you didn't want in your group and even though I am doing much better in school now I hope I am still not that guy. On top of that I hope that guy isn't in my group! 2) I don't like my work depending on others. It is the same in the real world at my job. Some things I am okay with BUT big thing...

Upcoming MCU

Let me be honest, phase 4 hasn't really been all that good. The D+ shows are entertaining but none have been mind blowing. Spiderman was good but in all reality it was a fan service show. We got to see old favs and the multiverse was slightly opened up. Dr Strange was good in fact it really sets the stage for "Multiverse Saga" a lot of other movies seem to be filler. Black Widow should have come out earlier. Shang Chi was cool but not amazing. Eternals was honestly kinda boring world building. Did other things come out, I can't remember. Thor I can't say I haven't seen it yet.... But overall nothing was amazing and ya phase 1 MCU wasn't crazy good but Ironman and Cpt America really set the tone and built a universe, none of these movies really do that. I stand by my thought the MCU shot it all in the Infinity Saga. I don't think they foresaw the popularity AND once it took off threw everything out there. Really they didn't need Cpt Marvel, could ha...

Pope & MMIWG

 Couple things to lay down here before I go into my short rant. I am not religious, in fact the quote below in my mind almost describes how I feel to a tee. HOWEVER saying that I do believe there is something, a higher power that created the world. Or at least started evolution... Be it the Catholic god, the Muslim god. Odin, Zeus, the Great Spirit. I really don't know. I am not getting into deeper beliefs on religion, gods, fate. Any of those things that could turn into a long tangent I am simply going to talk on the Pope being here. I just want it stated I am not Catholic. I am Metis, I have great uncles who did attend residential schools. I won't pretend I am close with them or even really know them. I have heard their stories through my grandfather though. I have some close friends who also had parents who attend these schools and yes for a part it has affected their lives, I will not deny that. First I want to state a fact, these schools were not a genocide. What the conqu...

Television

So this entry is pop culture! It is the television I have been watching recently. I hate the fact that certain times of the year there is so much on I can't watch it all and others nothing to watch but re-runs...  Mayans sadly has been garbage this season. I think it is because they are just throwing a bunch of stories out hoping something will stick and trying to make us care about some of the background characters. Creeper did nothing until this season and now of course he brings in an undercover fed. Gilly was just a big who looked tough until we found out more about his ranger past. These are cool to know but it feels like we should have known this before. On the flip side did Hank to Taza have a story at all? Hank meets Alvarez one night and you think that would have been something, nah. Does any body even really care about Galindo or Emily. Emily has just been bouncing city to city on the greyhound and Galindo has been hiding, both brought nothing to the show. These PIs find ...

Roe V Wade

I identify with right wing politics. I am not going to go into that but yes I vote conservative, if I was in the states I would vote GOP. However this shit is losing its way. The Christian right is gaining way too much power and thats not good. The actual founding fathers wanted a separation of Church and State. That is slipping away, then you get clown shoes who don't even try and hide it or claim that is what America is all about. No literally its not. Men wanted to build a free nation where religion was something you could have but it didn't rule the masses. The USA has strayed from that path and honestly I don't think I have ever been more angry with religion. Keep your fucking imaginary friend out of our lives, I don't ask the Easter bunny for advice on how you should live your life so stop pressing your shit on others. First the far right is starting to look just like the Taliban. Trumptards, you far right Christian retards, ya you look just like the Taliban, your...

June rants!

Finished Poli Sci with an over A, making it my highest current mark which makes me happy! That and getting an A- in Econ tells me at least I have a basic knowledge of some of the shit I rant and rave about here. I understand that doesn't mean I am right just that I at least understand the concept enough to talk about it. Starting human resources next. This one could be interesting, I have faith I will do it well but maybe not agree with everything in it. In my life I have always had the shut the fuck up and get it done attitude. In general that has made me a good employee. I am assuming now a lot of things have to be sugar coated, which is hard for me but we will see. Have to be honest I started this blog over a month ago and finished the ultra condensed spring session. Currently sitting at 90% but waiting on my final mark. It was kind of how I figured, the world does sugar coat things BUT I did learn a few things or at least was given another view that does make sense. So it was a...
