Ok One reason I have taken my time to come up with some new news/blogs is because I've been letting what I want to rant about just kind of build up. Well guess what!! I'm at overload on ranting material now hahah. So lets get to it..

    What Grinds my gears

  • Facebook
  • School and cell phones
  • service

Facebook

Ok OK I know you'll all probably call my a hypcrite because I do have facebook, and yes it is good for some things, as it is a "Social Networking site", well here's my beef with it: What the heck to people feel the need to get so worked up and start conflict/drama over what happens on facebook. For example someone writes on wall post and someone else doesn't take too kindly too it, like an ex walling an ex, then the current getting jealous like WTF!!! sheez. Just you wait there's more not only that do you remember the days of when people used to tell good friends about things more personally about personal issues, well thanks to facebook I dont need to talk to any of you dorks any more I can just logon to facebook and monitor your facebook profile and watch your status changes to see what's going on in you life, fuck screw the phone calls eh!! What's really funny is, say you break up with a person, then advertise your break up on Facebook all of a sudden you get like 20 wall posts from people you have not talked to in months maybe even years, with them all saying "oh are you ok, we should go for drinks some time" uuumm ok Sir. Random we dont talk much.(then again people do this because they are looking for some type of sympathy and attention... LAME IMHO) Another one is your relationship status putting up a fake one haha those are honestly classic had two friends do that and the number of wall posts they got, so memorable... just shows how sad facecreepers are!!
Just to continue on with my facebook rant it's still on topic with the stuff from earlier; why the hell do I want to find stuff like "your engaged" or "your pregnant" from a stupid website!!!! Like come on if your my friend why not tell me in person for crying out loud is it that hard to pick up the phone and speed dial my number!! (This has not happened to me but it seems to become an ever growing trend... What is society coming too.. Or maybe I'm just old fashioned and think internet socializing is lame <== and this is coming from a geek)

School and Cell phones

I decided to put these two together because they sort of overlap. First of all let me do my rant about school.... Ok so I'm sitting in Astronomy and sheez some of the things you over hear, wow its pathetic first of all Astronomy 101 is not a group session where you and your friends can talk about your life problems so STFU. Seriously leave what happens outside of school til after class and quit trying to get sympathy. Next is still pertaining to Astronomy and cell phones; if your not going to pay attention leave the fricken class!! I can hear every god damn button click you make with your annoying text messaging.
Ok about cell phones, we all have one pretty much, so I might sound hyppcritcal here but anyways, ok do you not find it rude to be playing around with your cell or even taking a call when you are having a conversation with a person, be it a cashier, a friend or whoever. Like seriously its got to be the most rude thing you could do, show some god damn respect for the person you are face too face with. Its not only taking a call, but texting as well, I hate talking to someone who all of a sudden decides that ooOOOO my vibrating or beeping phone is more important than what you got to say or saying. Its like being cut off in mid sentence. So for all you people out there that are addicted to you phones GET A LIFE!!!!

service

No I'm not going to rant about cell service, cause we all know if you aren't on sasktel your service sucks here.! Anyways I'm going to talk about customer service. Here's my beef I took my car down to Mazda, and for some stupid reason it takes 2 days to just get simple paper work figured out... ok sure the car is not from here but my warranty states that it is valid in North America! So why should it take that long to say yes ok we will fix you car under warranty because we(the dealership) gets paid for it anyways. So what it all boils down to is that it takes 4 days to remove and replace a tensioner pulley!! seriously a 20 minute job.

END RANT

I'd better get some feedback this week!!!

Oct 9/08

Hi again people, hmm what can I say today... Well first off its hockey season again!! The Habs(my fav team) are definitely expected to do well this year, and I would hope so too considering the team is build around players buying into Gainey's and Carbs system. Anyways enough of this stuff just watch the NHL!

Hmm not much to really talk about since yesterday and today are pretty much just going to be all focused on school. I did get a bit of a surprise yesterday, but nothing too crazy. UUh guess I'll report in and say that Tony and I are starting to go to the gym, so yesterday and today we've gone. I think the goal is to strengthen and bulk up for hockey, cause well were not the biggest guys out there...BUt we definitely aren't fat lard asses(so suck on that)

Ok those people that aren't in sask or just dont leave their houses, the weather here has been shitty!! winds strong enough to rip the roof off houses!! its cold wind too :(. Dont forget the fact that it hasn't been sunny, with the exception of today. Anyways what a week for weather, its been so gloomy and depressing(glad I'm none not affected by the weather).

Oh just figured I'd mention that its Thanksgiving this weekend so its a long weekend YAY!!(still doesn't mean much though lol) I'll be hanging out around town, and with family. So you will know where to find me haha

Anyways if I come up with anything else to write about I'll post it up!

P.S in reply to Matt's comment. I'm probably going to sell the 42", most likely the rents.

Oct 8/08

Alrighty people I'm back in action. I'm back in more ways than one!!! First of all I did some work on this site, which none of you will notice, and I finally got my comments section up and running! (sawweettness, I can find out whether or not people are actually digging my shitz, or just hating.). So now that its there please use it. Or else it makes no sense for me to be putting updates up.

Alright so on to some real news, hmmm the school thang hasn't changed still doing that...uuugghhh ummmm... wow there's not much lol. Alrighty since my life is boring right now I'll tell yah about what happened on the weekend. Weekend starts off like usual doing homework on a friday night(yippy!!), then saturday I started my second job working at Toyota cleaning(note not detailing) cars. Well work only goes for a few hours so I finish at 1PM, so I then proceeded to splurge and buy a Panasonic 42" 1080p plasma television... You must be thinking that I'm crazy haha cause if you know me then you'll know that I just got a 32" Panasonic LCD just last year hahah. Yes I like my tech toys :P. Ok anyways so my night proceeded with me playing some high caliber E2 hockey for the Rebels!! Wow let me tell yah I was skating figure 8s around most of those guys hahah, if only I had one or two more players around to help lol. So next of course is going upstairs for a nice refreshing brewskie at the good ol Thirsty Penguin.(always good times at the Penguin), well I couldnt hang out there all night so I said my hi's and byes to the peeps, from the Rebels and from the Uof R Cougars.... Your probably thinking my night is over by this time eh?>? Well guess again, I stopped by the Drink to chill with the CJW, and of course I meet up with more people I know, haha its always a good time there cause well I just know people :P. Well no need to divulge the rest of the details of the night now :P. Lets just say I had tons of fun. Well sunday now ugh, beer is a killer! I got my drink on pretty good hahah, well hockey game at 2:45 with the WolfPack now! wheeeeeeeeeww more hockey lol. (Yes I am hardcore when it comes to hockey, just keeping tuning in to see what the next weekend will consist of haha) Ok anyways what a tight game it was we ended up losing 5-4 in OT so we managed 1 point of the deal but I Win would have still been better. I can see promising things for this team if we can manage to keep some consistancy with our roster.

Well folks I'm not sure what else I can add to this... Wait I know what I can add! *Start RANT* Golddigging should be consisdered a distraction while driving and people should be ticketed for it. I was on my way to school the other day and I couldn't help but stare at the guy behind me just digging away, and I mean digging he was in there for a good 3 minutes!! Like seriously the whole time he was behind me he was digging away. *End RANT* I was grossed out, yet I couldn't stop laughing haha. Anyways kids keep having fun and keep coming back for more story time ;)

No more coug stories for a while, I'm gonna hide out and avoid the places where they find me....Ok my last lil status update on a coug story. My first impression with the 33 year old was pretty much nothing you'd expect from me, lets just say I didn't have chapped lips :P

 

Oct 6/08

Well oddly enough I actually got harrassed to update my webpage. So I must apologize for the no updates. But here are my list of reasons: first my laptop is broken, so I can do much on that, then my PC decided to really crap the bed. Well the good news is I fixed the PC but the laptop is toast, but have no fear I am getting that replaced as well haha!!! Ok I figured since its been a while I'd break today's news in sections:

Personal - Ok well as of late I have just not been myself, and well the light finally clicked the other day, and I figured out what my problem has been. I lost my focus and started becoming someone I was not! Apparently I fell victim to some of my weaknesses. So anyways its been handled(unfortunately not in a good way) but that doesn't matter because you know what people I'm back, and I'm more focused and driven than ever before. so I guess I have one person to thank(name will not be mentioned!). In other news along with the personal stuff I guess I'm a hot item for the cougs, first a 33 year old now a 36, and ooOoO wait for it!! 42!!!! HAHAHA I don't look anywhere near 20 but yet I'm "cute" well thanks ladies for the compliments but do you have any daughters :)

Sports- Lets get into sports. The tune-up season ended and quickly after that WolfPack hockey started back up again. We got quite a few new aquisitions and I must say some pretty good talent we picked up. We still gotta work on somethings but we should hopefully just keep getting better with time. Also If you want to keep up to date on the stats check out the WolfPack Hockey link on the side bar, and hey come out to a game or two! On to some scores: first game we lost 9-2, next game we lost 8-4, and finally our 3rd lost was a lot closer at 5-4 in OT. So as it stands the Wolfpack are 0-2-0-1. with me tied in the stats with 4 points. With the way I've been playing I should be able to muster up a goal or a point per game. In other related hockey news I played hockey with the Rebels who are enjoying the basement in E2, I've played one game with them but I am their impact player, with my speed and puck handling ability. I only managed 1 goal, but generated about 20 chances lol, now if only more of those chances turned to goals haha.

Umm not sure about any other news to report, aside from loving life, and people loving me ;) things seem like they just keep getting better because I can step forward and leave the past where it should be.

I got some more but I'll do my weekend summary mid week :P so stay tuned!
