Olympics

February 24th, 2010

I’ve never watched so much sports.  I’m loving the Olympics right now.  So intense!  Hopefully the men’s hockey team will make it to the Gold medal game to win it all!  The women’s team is playing for Gold tomorrow!  Another good game to watch!

Why Are People Stupid On Facebook?

February 1st, 2010

That’s the question.  Why are people so stupid when it comes to Facebook?  Do we really care what you’ve planned out for your entire day?  The answer is no.

People still feel the need to update their facebook statuses with the following:

off to the gym early today, back home and then off to hip hop tonight, maybe some house cleaning too, if i have the energy

or

Tues is gonna be crazy busy, going to dentist @ 11am, doing grocery shopping @ walmart, yigs, m&m, foodland,food basics & nofrills, hope to god that my lovely cousin Jen that is coming with me wont mind going everywhere, then coming home getting the girls then going to MY MAMA’s for a turkey supper mmm cant wait, then …home get the kids in a bath & bed…then maybe some relax time with the hubby :-)

Nobody fucken cares!  That’s the truth.

Or then you get the ones like this….

home alone again tonight, working in the morning then going to sit the dogs again after work!!!

So now you are telling everyone on facebook that you will be home all alone tonight.  So if I wanted to kill you now would be a good time.

The best are the ones that tell you that you are gone away from home.

Getting excited for Mexico… leave tomorrow, and off to Mexico Sunday… I’ll try to bring back some heat!!!

They should just add… So on Sunday would be an excellent time to come break into my house and steal all of my stuff….

Oh and who got started with all of the copy and paste this shit to your status stuff?

if you believe your Daughter(s) is amongst God’s greatest blessings on the face of this earth, copy and paste this as your status and give her a hug! I ♥ MY DAUGHTER!!!! My angel.

Nobody really cares.  Of course you like your kids.  You don’t have to keep posting crap on your facebook to prove it.

Do I feel better ranting about this?  I think so.  I really needed to get this out.  If you are one of the people that post stupid updates on your facebook please stop.  It’s annoying.  Nobody cares what you are doing.  Furthermore they don’t want to know your entire life update by update.  Instead of spending all of your time on facebook updating your status why now get out there and do something productive.  If you are at work, work.  If you are at home, spend time with your family.  And if you are really really bored don’t update your facebook status with stupid updates.

Oh and don’t even get me started with all of the stupid Facebook Apps like Farmville…

On a day like today

January 14th, 2010

I would rather be somewhere hot.

I’ve had a cold for 2 months minus 3 days.  It doesn’t seem to be getting any better either.  The last few days I’ve been wheezing a lot even when I am breathing normally.

I think I need a hot beach to cure my cold.  Too bad April is not coming fast enough.

USA Dominating Hockey

January 6th, 2010

Team Ontario vs. Team USA

It started off yesterday for the USA with a gold medal for the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge in Timmins, Ontario.  USA beat out Ontario 2-1 in a game that left Ontario scoreless 1.18 seconds left in the third period.  Team Ontario didn’t play a physical game and couldn’t get very many shots on net.

Tonight USA has captured another gold medal in the World Juniors in Saskatoon Saskatchewan.  I must admit that tonights game was much better to watch then the U17 game.  After the second period the score was tied at 3.  Team USA came out strong in the 3rd and lead Team Canada 5-3 but with less than 3 minutes left in the game Team Canada tied the game at 5.  Unfortunately for us we lost when Derek Stepan scored the winning goal for Team USA 4 minutes and 31 seconds into overtime.

Am I Missing Something?

November 3rd, 2009

In Canada we have less than 35 million people.  Our government ordered 50.4 million doses for the H1N1 flue vaccine.  What are the extra 15 million flu shots for?

While we would aim to vaccinate 100 per cent of the population, from observing seasonal flu shot campaigns, we know that even in provinces with free universal access vaccination programs, usually less than 50 per cent of the population will choose to be immunized.
Ordering 50.4 million doses of pandemic vaccine amounts to ordering 50 per cent more than we would expect to use for a normal seasonal vaccination campaign.

The Government of Canada is confident that 50.4 million vaccine doses will be sufficient to meet the needs of every Canadian likely to need and want protection.

The only thing that I can come up with is that one person might need two shots in order to be vaccinated.  I haven’t been able to confirm that anywhere as of yet.  Perhaps someone out there knows the answer to this question.  Even if you needed two shots that would still mean that the government estimated that 25 million Canadians would line up for the H1N1 flu shot.  That would mean that almost 75% of all Canadians would get vaccinated.

Either someone is really bad in math or they have stocks in GlaxoSmithKline and is making lots of money.

Happy Halloween

October 31st, 2009

It’s that time of year again.  Kids from all over the world get dressed up and run door to door to get candies.  I can just imagine how hyper they must be when it comes time to go to bed.  At least this year it falls on a Saturday.  I remember when we were kids.  We would go trick or treating until late at night.  We would be the last ones out and come home with loads of candies.  Nowadays parents are very protective of their children and most of them only go to relatives and people they know.  I guess lots changes over the years.

Hello Truck Goodbye Civic

September 8th, 2009

It’s official, I bought a new truck.  Well technically it’s not new but it’s new to me.  I bought my dad’s truck.  It’s a 98 Chev Silverado with only 114,000 kms on it.  He never drove it during the winter so it’s in perfect shape.  Not one spec of rust on it.  It should last me for a little while.

This also means that my 96 Civic (a.k.a. “my baby”) needs to go.  I put it for sale last night and I think I might have found it a new home.  I hate to let it go but I don’t want to be paying insurance on 3 cars.  I just put in a bunch of money in repairs lately which kind of sucks but I’m glad to know that someone else will enjoy it.

Everything should be finalized by the end of the week.

I want a truck!

July 29th, 2009

2009 GMC SierraEver since I got rid of my truck in December of last year I’ve regretted it.  I miss being able to throw something as simple as a can of gas in the box and going to fill it up.  Now with only having a car I need to be careful that none of the gas spills in the trunk or in the back seat.

I thought that having a small trailer would be fine but my old 96 Civic just doesn’t do it on trips outside of town.  After all it is a 96 and it has over 232k on it.  I was thinking of putting a trailer hitch on my 08 Civic but I’ve decided against it.

So now, I have been looking around for a good price on a used truck but the truth is they are all expensive.  I mean most of the time you can get something new for pretty close to the same as a used one.  The nice part of buying new is that you get a warranty.  I want something with a warranty.  I don’t want to be forking out tons of money in repairs.

I was checking out the GMC Sierra pictured above.  They have it on special at a dealer a few hours away from here for $26,998.  That would be perfect for me.   Crew cab,  4.8L, Air, Cruise, Tilt, 4×4, i’m happy with that.  I don’t need something overly fancy because I would only use it around town and to put my bike and sled in when I go to the camp.

I need to think about this some more.  It’s too bad I am still paying for my 08 Civic because I would run out to buy this truck right away.
