Just so that you know- those free weekly (seeminly indy and hip) magazines like Vue and See regularly slam the Government, Big Industry and all things (that they label as) anti- environment, yet every week they mail out their papers to any and all organizations with a mail room even though no one has subscribed to the paper....I throw out 2 faily substantial papers each week- and I am but one office that receives said papers....
waste of paper

Basing your vote on that of P.Diddy will take you one step closer to fulfilling your dreams of great fame and success
Let's jump right into things shall we?
The American election sounds fun doesn't it? Yes everyone likes those Democrats, everyone else likes the Republicans. I don't really care who or how you like which party, what I do care about is why anyone cares about which celebrities are supporting what party.
That these people even get air time for their "Palin is not the type of person I want running our country" speech, is beyond my understanding. Why does anyone care what an actor/actress/dancer/singer/famewhore thinks? It is not like P Diddy went to University....Lindsay Lohan didn't study politics during her time in rehab- so why does anyone ask them? What does their opinion mean? Why is their endorsment of a candidate any more meaningful than that of a single working mother of 2? Why does anyone broadcast their support? Why does anyone encourage them to speak up and thus imply that we care? Listening to them sound off about Obama (it's always in support of Obama because Hollywood is the land of enlightenment) is equivalent to listening to some backwoods shit-flinging hillbilly who can't pronounce the word "responsibility"- as in- they are uninformed, uneducated, unispired, unFIT to be reaching out to the public on such a topic.
The media will often seek out average voters on the street and ask them "what do you think of Bidden" or "how will you be voting this election", which is fine, and therefore, ask a celebrity while you are at it since they too vote- but like I care to hear Entertainment Tonight regularly probe celebrities on the topic. I am just as interested in what Sue Davis of Montana has to say as I am in what Eva Longoria has to say- in fact, Sue from Montana likely isn't going to be as obvious in her decision as the star studded are....everyone knows that everyone in Hollywood has to support the Democrats so that everyone sees how enlightend and openminded they are. Not everyone knows what Sue from Montana will say.
For the Democrats to even affiliate or acknowledge the celebrity endorsement is stupid (not that they are, but they could be). Acknowledge the endorsement of the acedemic, or the famed business mogal, or the successful farmer, or the teacher's aid......don't go on praising the endorsment of a body that has done little in the betterment of the American society. LAME
Next- why in God's name does Edmonton still have trains regularly rolling through the city and subsequently delaying traffic on major roads for seemingly ever? Like, in the middle of freaking rush hour- I's stuck at a railroad crossing for 1/2 hour while some shitty train lumbers on- stops-rolls forward-stops- then backs up- then lumbers along again. This city is insane.

Breakfast of Champions, not Fatties
From Perez Hilton's site:
"The announcement that Olympic champ Michael Phelps will be whoring Kellogg's Frosted Flakes instead of the traditional athlete's choice of Wheaties has left many perplexed and angered.
Frosted Flakes has three times the amount of sugar as Wheaties and 1/3rd the fiber.
Phelps is now being criticized by health experts who are worried about the message he'll be sending to children across America.
Nutritionist Rebecca Solomon of New York's Mount Sinai Medical Center says, "I would not consider Frosted Flakes the food of an Olympian. I would rather see him promoting Fiber One. I would rather see him promoting oatmeal. I would even rather see him promoting Cheerios.""
Well guess what people? Phelps IS an Olympian and happens to eat Frosted Flakes hence: breakfast of an olympian.
Maybe people, instead of teaching children just to eat properly, teach them that with proper exercise comes the opportunity to eat foods such as Frosted Flakes. Sure if you have a kid that plays video games all day, then cutting out foods like Frosted Flakes is necessary, but if you have a kid that actually DOES stuff like normal children once did...then you can on occasion afford to treat them to a sugary delightful breakie- no?
OR how about THIS concept- that parents, not children, buy the groceries. Hence, as a parent, you find yourself offended by the image of an Olympian on a box of sugary cereal- don't buy the sugary cereal. As an adult you should be able to overcome the allure of a horse-faced, medal clad Swimmer and make the proper food choice for your likely over-weight child (slimfast or wheaties, whatever). If your fat kid says to you while in the cereal isle "I want Frosted Flakes because my hero is on that box" you can follow up with "no- you are going to have plain Cheerios". Fatty will respond something like "but he's an Olympian and if he's on the box then it must be good for me" and then responsible parent says "yes but the key here is that he is an Olympian and runs and swims and lifts weights everyday for 5 hours whereas you are fat and play video games all day and sneak chips and chocolate from your friend's kitchen so until you start doing the same- you will eat plain Cheerios"......result: fat kid starts exercising and gets Frosted Flakes or fat kid eats plain Cheerios and then eats half a pie at Grandma's place while he/she plays final fantasy 4.

Almost Like a "likes/dislikes" Questionnaire
I have only but a few comments I wish to make this afternoon....
1. Holmes on Holmes has effectively resulted in my inability to live in a home without Mike Holmes' stamp of approval....thanks HGTV.
2. In reference to the recent beheading upon a Greyhound bus in Winnipeg- why must the media refer to the accused as "a recent immigrant"? Li has been in Canada for 5 years, surely enough time to have acclimatized enough to learn that beheading is not something we here in Canada promote, surely enough time to realize that Canadians do not generally behave in such a manner as that demonstrated last week by Li. No, after 5 years, the man can only be refered to as a Canadian- let's not put the blame on the the fact that he was at one point a resident of China as it is of no bearing in this situation. Regardless of my feelings towards Canada's immigration system, continuously referring to Li as a "recent Chinese immigrant" only breeds negative feelings towards those Canadians who were once residents of another country. Let's face it- that this man was of Chinese decent originally born in China is senseless. The fact of the matter is- this Li fellow is a sick individual who should be prevented from coming into contact with anyone in any society at all times. Our Canadian system failed him and ourselves when the psychiatric program he recently entered before the incident released him back into the public after 4 days
(Google "Pierre Trudeau"). Now Canada's only concern should be to keep this man away from all others at all costs.
3. Edmonton seems to have designated the title "historic" to a number of buildings throughout the city- Canada is only 130-some years old, Alberta is only 100? Maybe? I'm sorry but that is not historic and these buildings are gross and falling apart...I could see if they were of great architect or of great quality, but they are not...I prefer to see pretty buildings, energy efficient buildings (no not to save the polar bears but rather to save me some taxes), and build them well so in like, 400 years they are still standing pretty and still serving a purpose.
4. Stop chewing gum- outside of the sorbital content that makes you shit to lose weight, there is no reason for it...I can't believe how disgusting some people look when they have gum in their mouth- chomping away like a sloppy fool (girl being interviewed on Shaw Cable- that means YOU). I admit I do it *smack smack*, and I hate that I do. I guess if you can promise me to chew quietly with your mouth closed then it's ok-so long as you ALSO promise me that it will not end up on the ground or under some chair/table.
5. A group of assholes travel to China to protest for a Free Tibet- Buddy Steve Anderson gets sent home to Canada after his stupid stunt. At the airport upon his arrival he rolls out a giant banner "Free Tibet" and waves a Tibetian flag then says to the news reporters something along the lines of "I think it really highlights what the Chinese authorities are willing to do to silence people," and "everyone has a right to freedoms of speech and religion"...actually Steve Anderson- they do not...in Communist China the authorities appear to have the right to silence anyone who goes against the Government's status quo....that is why living in Canada is such a treat- we are allowed to speak out mind, worship out Gods and fight for our beliefs. Steve Anderson seems to be under the impression that this right extends across borders to other countries when in fact he is wrong- It is China's perrogative to govern as it will....Steve should maybe focus on some of the atrocities that happen here in his own country rather than impose his beliefs on others abroad. Meanwhile douche bag Mike Hudema- a professional protestor regardless of cause is suprised when his room is ransacked by Chinese authorities. They had been planning to speak out within the next couple of days, but at that point- had done "nothing illegal". Oh there poor victems of Chinese aggression and abuse of power! They were all tucked in asleep in their beds and then for no reason are invaded and sent home!??! Goodness! The horrors! The truth of the matter is that you morons are dissenters in a country that does not tolerate it (Again- hail Canada where we breed a culture that takes our freedoms and rights for granted so much so that we lose sight of just how it is in other countries). Mike Hudema should stick to climbing rafters on the behalf of GreenPeace in his own country that actually tolerates his stupidity- he should be greatful this is new China and that he is not in some Chinese prison or that he still has all 10 fingers.
*Not to say what is happening in Tibet is acceptable, but it is what it is and Tibetians and the Chinese along with the support of the UN (or at least not idealistic frantic wingding groups like "Students for a Free Tibet") need to work it out- there is no room for a handful of white guys from another continent waving flags and embarassing themselves).- oh the controversy
Done

It's Been a Long While.....
I have so much to rant about today...I have been so busy lately that I have been forced to hold in all in...that sucks!
First up are my thoughts on the Supreme Court's ruling that the use of random sniffing dog searches in schools is a breach of privacy...this is bullshit...a school locker is not private property, in fact, it's public since taxpayer's money has paid for them to even be there in the first place...a school is not necessarily private as most are PUBLIC schools...one does not go out in public to seek privacy! If some shit head kid is bringing drugs onto public property, a shared space used by thousands of others, then the police and the school should have every and all rights to at the very least walk a dog around every now and then so that they can catch the little creep. Who is more important afterall? 1 shitty kid or 500 serious about learning-will likely contribute greatly to society if given the chance-children who have otherwise followed the rules (and the law) and go to school so that they can better themselves and others around them?
Second thought today (that plagues my mind every spring)...WTF is up with chicks and their premature desires to wear white as soon as the temperature goes about zero? Sure there are social "rules" about that kind of things (no white after labour day, never wear a white shoe with black bottoms, etc), but outside of the "rules" there is an element of common sense...it's f-ing sick outside girls....there is still snow on the ground in some places, the ground is sloppy and muddy and the streetsare still covered in sand and salt from the winter.....thus, why the hell would anyone want to put on a pair of tight white capris and prance around outside in them? If i had $10 for every time I have seen some girl with muddy track marks all up her back end, I would be able to afford a pair of black tight capri pants for every single one of the seasonal violators....fucking morons.
Third, and this is just a thought I had, it's not necessarily how I feel or not....but the Texan authorities hauled off with 400+ children from some Mormon compound after some proof that child abuse/marriage/sex with minors was going on...not all, but many, from families with complex family trees/organization whatever else. Oh what a horror now...absolutely child abuse is wrong....technically/legally speaking, so is polygamy, (and we all know the stories about this group of people and their ways of life) but the spotlight on these people now is that they are ALL wrong, ALL perverts, and ALL need to pay the legal price. Now if we would only be so serious about this sort of thing (child abuse) when it comes to groups of people we as a socity view as "normal"....now if we would only round up the teachers that prey on their students, the fathers that creep into their children's rooms at night, the mothers that allow their children to live with such preditors, the doctors, the lawyers, the welders, the gardeners, the religious guy that goes to church every Sunday then volunteers to organize an after school basketball program for 12 year old boys, the politician that flies to Thailand every March so that he can bang some poverty stricken 10 year old sex slave...ooooh I could go on....basically the people that live in our "normal society that are participating in the same gross acts as some of these Fundamentalist Mormons supposedly are. yes if we could only start to lable them (you know the creeps that walk amongst us everyday under the giese of a "normal person") all the same way we label the Fundamentalist Mormons....like "those teachers...did you notice how the way they dress and do their hair?" or, "have you noticed how those welders live? they all live in rental properties and drive big trucks..." fuck me get it together, perverts are perverts and we should take them all seriously and do our damnedest to lock em up; let's extend the service to children of "normal pervert (American) parents"...the Texan officials should be grateful that their pervert round-up was so easy, they were all on one location (seemingly)...but lets be honest, like any other community and other culture, there are perverts and creeps that take advantage of the vunerable; perhaps keep that in mind.
Four: go here, it's hilarious and I reference it all the time.. http://stuffwhitepeoplelike.wordpress.com/
Fifth up...the GLOBAL ONE HELICOPTER, EDMONTON'S OOONLY EYE IN THE SKY TO BREAKING NEWS!
Now pardon my ignorance, but the backed up traffic along the Whitemud before Quinsel Bridge does not strike me as particularly important, nor breaking as it happens every day at 5:00pm, so outside of that, what "news" is this helicopter "eye-ing" exactly? Once Globabl actually MADE "breaking news" after an abandoned old building caught fire and the helicopter had caught it on camera...no other broadcasts reported it...not because they had missed out and didn't have access to the amazing footage, but because there was no point on reporting it...it was a shitty old building, not used for anything, and the 3 car pile up involving an ingured senior citizen on hwy 2 was seemingly more important at the time. BUT because Global had a cool shit.....uh i mean SHOT of the fire from the chopper, it made headlines that evening.
So this is the BREAKING news! Backed up traffic during rush hour (by the way, it only comes in handy to know of an accident on the Yellowhead while i am ON the Yellowhead...that being said, I am not watching Global news on Channel 8 while I'm turning right from St. Albert Trail), and burning old sheds (FYI, my dad burns them all the time, just for fun...if you want a cool shot, just give him an hours notice and he'll be all over it...he loves burning shit). Meanwhile, inbetween BREAKING NEWS, the story of the night is GreenPeace does stupid stunt A to attract attention to Environmental abuse case #863 (most likely brought to you compliments of Government B)...the other story is how scientist X claims Global Warming crisis is furthered by bad gas of which should be brought to the attention of the already ailing Healthcare system so that patients with bad gas are cured thus slowing the pace of glacier melt. WHY do I rant so? Obviously because while Global is reporting this, they are also flying around some random stupid helicopter so that Edmontonians can witness what "Refinery Row" looks like at Rush Hour....fuck you all, do you have any idea how much fuel you are mindlessly wasting so that we can all see a minivan fire on the side of Calgary Trail? Maybe park the chopper for a couple days so I don't have to turn off my lights while I'm trying to roast an organic chicken. Noooo, it's allll up to us little people to save the environment, we can make the difference....buy hybrid cars, use energy efficient what-have-yous...boycott aerosol hairspray (bite me by the way)... and yes WE will make the difference so morons at Global can convey GreenPeace's messages via interviews and talk all day about their marvelous helicoptor (the only news station with one mind you.....why? because they are the best? Yeah sure, whatever). Nah, keep flying it because I'm sure eventually you will "Eye" something worth it for once and you can win some sort of news broadcasting award...meanwhile I will continue to be harassed by environmentalists for having a hate on for locally grown food and for refusing to use public transportation.
Ok, I am done for today....good day.

Charming (ungrateful) Jackasses
Let me first say this: Heath Ledger's death is NOT tragic...to everyone who is mourning his "tragic" death via facebook status...screw off. Heath's death is NOT tragic, he died as a result of indulgence and the inability to look after himself under the easiest of circumstances...that is NOT tragic. If you want to mourn, grieve or get emotional about death and reflect that in your facebook status, perhaps mour, grieve, or get emotional about the truly tragic deaths that occur everyday in the world such as the innocent father and store owner in Toronto who was shot and killed as a result of a missed gang-shooting target. Or perhaps mourn, grieve, or get emotional about the over 600 Kenyans, many of whom are children, who have died as a result of violence relating to the country's latest "democratic" election. Get over Hollywood, get over it NOW.
Now my real rant of the day is this:
118th Ave, aka, Alberta Avenue...one of Edmonton's shadiest neighbourhoods is undergoing a transformation. With government funding, the area is set to undergo mass improvements to the area as an effort to clean up the community. Until now the community has been home to drug houses, hookers, and violence. What great news this is! Wow, cleaning up a neighbourhood in th downtown area...good news for sure! Few are aware of the many unique food stores and cafes that call Alberta Avenue home...whatever. A spokesperson for the community has now made public that she does not want Alberta Avenue to become another Whyte Ave....
Holy shit bitch what the hell....you don't want Alberta Ave...known now for drugs, hookers and assorted crime, to become a vibrant, lively, famous, and beautiful community? Oh, let me clarify, she points out that Whyte Ave is awash in pubs and bars that cause (at times) an amount of chaos on the street when they let out late at night on the weekends....Fuck you lady, i would take a large group of drunk young people peeing on a street and the occasional group brawl over an eternity of hookers and blow any day. You've been living in a slum for how many years, and now that you have the opportunity to fix your community up a little, you're going to get picky and start demanding what you will and will not tolerate? You've put up with countless pawn shops, money marts, and crack houses for HOW many years but the idea of too many bars in the area concerns you? What the hell lady?!?!! Yeah Whyte Ave has a few problems in relation to the amount of bars on the street, but so does Granville in Vancouver and that doesn't stop people from frequenting the area every day...to spend money, shop, eat, drink, stroll along holding hands...Alberta Ave would be only so lucky to have the success that Whyte Ave has today. Currently, people drive past Alberta Ave briefly to get to Nait or something...and they lock their car doors while doing so...if you are fortunate enough to make such progress so that people may roll down their windows while in the area, I would say your neighbourhood make-over has been a success.
That is all....

The Day Joanne Had a Kid
So here I am just putting it out there, but I have noticed a number of "teachers" have a facebook profile, which is all coool and all, but I take issue with some of the pictures they have posted....
As per my rant, let's just say I have some sort of kid...for argument's sake....don't question the logistics of this....
I would personally rip the head off of ANYONE who posted a picture of my kid on Facebook without my knowledge of it....now consider this "anyone" to be a teacher of all people, and I'm going to get them fired. I send my kid to school to learn, socialize, make friends, and to grow...I do not send my kid to school so some supposed responsible teaching/care-taking type can snap pictures of him or her and post them all over a facebook page so that endless numbers of online "friends" can perv all over them.
Yeah, so my kid got glue all over its face....wow, give ME the damn picture if you must take one at all so that I can enjoy the moment I could not otherwise enjoy in the name of education. The only reason you post a picture of someone else's kid playing with dough is because a) you are a pervert b) you have some sort of friendship or family connection to its parents or c) you want to show off to everyone on Facebook how successful and cool you are to have such an important position in life (which you do, by all means be proud of what you do, I appreciate it). And as a sidenote to that, if you are NOT, in fact, a pervert, then chances are at least 1 of your 300+ "friends" online is and is at this very moment masterbating to YOUR picture of MY child....way to go you've just made a 7 year old a victim.
