I ask myself sometimes why I bother with this thing. Does anyone but my girlfriend read it? If they do, they don't make any comments.

I usually think I have something interesting to share. Though I guess it depends on your point of view.

I've come to the conclusion that I am hopelessly addicted to video games. My age group, males between 20 and 30 have grown up with the birth of the video game and computer age. Does the fact that I enjoy virtual destruction, simulation, strategy, role playing, shooting, etc... make me a nerd/geek/wierdo?

I don't really care to be honest. Is it cooler to be into fishing? Golfing? Tatoos? There are tons of people who do all of the above.

We saw the birth of Nintendo, Sega, Playstation, hell... even Atari. Computers have become a huge part of everything now, so obviously someone knew what they were doing.

This is a whole lot of rambling with very little purpose. Were you paying attention?

Yellow Bird

No comments on my rant?

Its good to be proved right by corrupt politicians about how badly a change in leadership is needed. Whoever said "if we want world peace, kill all the lawyers" was wrong... should have been politicians. For some reason they can't seem to figure out that as an elected representative, they are supposed to represent their constituents, who may very well have voted for a party and not the person running for that party. So when you jump the fence, you not only betray the supposed convictions you had, you betray the people who got you elected in the first place.

Its called honor.

Look it up in the dictionary.

Cha cha cha

I'm posting here, for the first time in months. Do you care? Does anyone actually read this?

I guess its a good place to vent, I can say what I like and no one will read it.

I can share my view on politics... for example, all the morons who think that an election in Canada is not a good thing, should be booted from this country. We are the nation with the highest taxes in the G-8. In other words, of the 8 other countries considered to be world leaders in the economy, our taxes are the highest. Our military is the lowest funded, and our education standards are not as good as 50% of the other countries, so where is the money going? We pay billions in taxes and it disappears.
People like Bono (yeah the guy in U2) criticize our government for cutting back on foreign aide. My opinion is they didn't cut back enough. We spend hundreds of millions of dollars in health programs and economic aide for third world countries and it doesn't do shit for the people paying for it. "But we as Canadians have always had a international responsibility". Responsibility for what? Saving people from their own stupidity? I'm not saying don't help people who need help, but when it becomes a pattern and there is very little effort being made to help themselves, why should I feel responsible?
Our nation defined itself in the 1940's during WW2 as one of the most formidable and resilient nations on earth. A country of only 12 million at the time, we made huge contributions to establishing freedom in europe. Canada was considered tough then. Strong.
Now Canada is the country thats government rips off its citizens, couldn't defend itself if it had to, and won't stop letting in people who make no contribution to the country in anyway.

This is what the Liberal government has done over the past 13 years, and we don't need an election?

Liberate

Well once again I've done a poor job of maintaining my blog. It's been nearly 3 weeks now since my last entry, a disappointing one at that. Fact is no one is reading this so it really doesn't matter.

I can say things like "Government Sucks" "taxes can kiss my ass" or "bite me.... officer" and no one will read it.

I could be controversial, but would anyone care? Some questions that need to be asked.....

Why are asian women such shitty drivers? Ok asians in general?

Why do I have to get a f'n arabic translater to order a pizza?

Why can't I lick my own elbow?

How can some people possibly be as ignorant as they act?

What does it take to get some decent service at an auto mechanic's?

When does my girlfriend get home so I can stop posting inane idiocy?


Contemplate these questions they are the deep thoughts of today. Least mine anyway, which perhaps is prematurely displaying my brain capacity. Ah well....

Is there anybody out there....

I'm getting even worse at updating this thing. Seems like lately I don't have any thoughts to share. I'm back working constantly, and when I'm off work I'm too sore to really be motivated to do much else. Maybe in another week I'll have something to say.

Simulation

I've been doing a piss poor job of maintaining this blog, but life just doesn't slow down really, so usually I'm not inclined to spend 15-20 mins to type up my thoughts of the day. The more you've got going the harder it is to devote to everything else you'd like to be doing. Time management in my personal life has never been a strength. I can estimate out construction projects to very, very close, (when I don't forget the taxes), and I can run the job site efficiently enough to accomplish daily goals, yet I can't find appropriate time for friends, girlfriend, family, and alone time.

Between work, my loving girlfriend, and hockey, I haven't talked to my friends in several weeks, since well before Christmas actually.

Haven't watched 4 of the movies I got as gifts, and haven't even installed the one game.

Ah well.......

Take a Picture

Whew what a week. Got a boatload of work done on my reno project, and have definately taken some large steps forward in the house. it's going to look a whole lot nicer when I'm done, and will be far more functional as far as heating the house. Going from absolutely no insulation (yes I mean none) to 3 inches in the basement walls, first floor walls, and possibly second floor walls, and 8 inches in the attic is miles ahead of before.

Haven't seen my lovely girlfriend since Tuesday either so I'm missing her. I'm gonna make dinner tomorrow I think, and we'll figure out something fun to do. I just want to spend time with her.
