This will mentally disturb you for LIFE!

Back, yes I know...

I suck at keeping a blog updated. Well I hope you all enjoy the new layout. It's a little brighter! There are a few topics I will touch on today which include Olympics, Toronto explosion and the Russian/Georgia war.

First off, the Olympics kicked off with a wonderful opening ceremony on 08.08.08 (a number considered lucky by the Chinese. Oh and I wouldn't touch the Tibet situation with a ten foot pole. I can see China put their heart and soul into hosting these games. I am glad to see China get a chance to show how beautiful their country really is. At the moment China is in the lead with 8 medals, six of which are gold. The USA has 6 medals, 2... OK I JUST GOT AN UPDATE! USA is in the lead with 11 medals, 3 gold. China has 8 medals, 6 gold. Korea has 5 medals, 3 gold. Wow, congrats to everyone! Oh and Canada is in 64th place with a grand total of zero medals. (I'm sure that will change.)

WELCOME TO BEIJING!

An explosion rocked Toronto at 4AM this morning (Aug. 10th). A propane factory went up in flames and typically the propane exploded. If you watch the videos on YouTube, it almost looks like a bomb was dropped. The two big questions now are: Why did this happen and WHY THE #@$% WAS A PROPANE FACTORY IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD?! I hear the one firefighter lost his life, and an employee from the factory is missing. I would like to see the government actually take a look into this, instead of sitting on their lazy asses like normal.

I heard that Russia and Georgia are at war. All I really have to say on this issue is that Russia needs to respect Georgia's borders. Stop the war, talk like Georgia offered, and lets settle this already. How many people need to die?

Agree or disagree with any of my thoughts above? I want to hear from you! LEAVE A COMMENT!

I AM GUILTY BECAUSE I AM A CRACKER!

I want to know how many white people are sorry for what "THEY" did back many years ago when the black people were used as slaves. How about the residential schools "WE" (YOU and ME personally built BEFORE we were born) made those natives go to.

I feel 105% guilty because of somebody else's actions!!!!! Why? I have WHITE SKIN!

I am at fault when those white cops in the US constantly shoot black people because they believed they had guns. I should have flown there, and stopped them because I am white.

*END OF SARCASM*

I agree what "has" happened was horrible, but just because I am white, doesn't mean I feel the actions of others were justified. I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE, I AM NOT AT FAULT, AND I WILL NOT HANG MYSELF BECAUSE OF IT.

Sorry I really needed to vent that.

Eight hours on my feet!!! SORE!

Yeah so I had my first 8 hour shift in produce this morning/afternoon, and it SUCKED! I thought 6 hours was rough, and hell I was right, because 8 hours was fucking HELL! My legs are worse than my feet... because they had to bare my weight for that amount of time. Well I told my manager I will do the 6 hour Thursday shift, and the 8 hour Saturday shift, and the 8 hour Sunday shift, and the 4 hour Monday shift, but I won't be doing any more 8 hour shifts. I might do them once in a while as long as I am paid full time wage on those hours.

What made today worse is my co-worker asked me to hold his hairy balls today (Kiwi fruit that was deformed and looked like a pair of nuts). Also this red onion was on the floor by this guys foot, so I said "Excuse me, I just have to grab this." and he said "Grab whatever you want little boy". Now I wanted to just dismiss that as a joke (his tone sounded like a joke) or I misheard him. Any which way I got the hell outta there!

Also I am going to pick up my PSP on THURSDAY!! Yay much for meh! I am sooooo jumpy about it I just have to buy some accessories for it tomorrow, just to cure my craving for PSP OMG PSP OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG PEA ES PEA! (Sorry for the insane burst) Beh Beh!

Review Friday!

I thought I would start something new. I noticed some other people that blog do reviews on products or services they use, so I thought why shouldn't I give it a try. Every Friday, I will post on my blog, a review of a product I just bought or a service I just used. I hope you enjoy!

Product/Service Name: 5 Gum
Price: $1.50
Purchased from: Save-On-Foods
Packaging rating: 8/10
Actual product rating: 8/10

I really enjoy this gum. After seeing the commercials on TV, I was in the store and I saw it on the shelf and thought I would try it. I am glad I did. I will try and walk you though. After buying 5 Gum, I ripped off the plastic wrap which had the UPC and ingredients. I was left with a pretty neat looking box, and I mean that in two ways. One, it had a handy tab to hold the flap closed when not in use, and second, it was a cool little black box. Look at the photos below:


Inside each piece is wrapped in a blue foil wrapper.

There are 15 sticks of gum. The taste is incredible but the only thing is, it lacks strength (not "spicy" enough). That is more personal preference I guess. It comes in 3 flavors, of which I have tried just the one "Cobalt". The flavor does last longer than most all other gums, which I am sure a lot of people like in gum. One other flaw I should point out is that it is a little bit much for packaging (Foil wrapped gum held in 3 bundles with paper, inside a box, and inside plastic wrap), which I care about because its a lot of waste. Other than that I highly recommend you at least try 5 Gum!

OMGWTFBBQ!?!?!?!? Another blog post...

My apologies for that brief bit of insanity, but it was necessary because I am making another blog post! I KNOW! AMAZING! I just thought I would fill you in on my life up to this point.

First up, I got a job at Save-On-Foods! Yeah so now I can save and get that all important Sony PSP I want sooooo bad. I want it mainly because my friend showed me it when it was first introduced, and I was amazed. Maybe it won't be as exciting anymore because times have changed and things become old, but I will find that out after I spend my $170. If anybody of you have a PSP, let me know what you think of it, what games I should get, and also if the movies are good quality or sh*tty graphics.

Next on my agenda of things to discuss would be the music that should be playing right now (If you haven't already muted it). It's Edmonton's newest radio station, Capital FM. They play everything oldies, and as everyone assumes, it's meant as a replacement to Cool880 which is going to switch to all news format. I liked Cool880 but never gave much of my loyalty to it. That's why I thought I would become loyal to the newest addition Capital FM. One thing I was uber-impressed by was the "jingle" I heard just 10 or so minutes ago. It was something like "Capital FM, Sherwood Park's radio station.". I know Capital FM is based from Edmonton, as are all the stations I get, yet I have never heard any other stations refer to Sherwood Park as one of there listeners. It's nice to know that at least one station realizes they serve communities surrounding Edmonton as well!

In closing I wish to apologize to the other members of CPTDB.ca for my abrupt departure from the board. As I stated before I "boiled over" and needed a break, and I will be coming back as soon as I can. Please realize this had nothing to do with anybody from the board, rather from my school, job, and family life colliding all at once. I am hoping I can be back... well maybe even today! Hope to talk to you all soon!

Ageism / Adultism / Zellers

I will now never shop at the Zellers store in Sherwood Park. I was in the electronics department looking at speakers, which I picked up and took to the scanner (Nothing in that store has a price tag.). After choosing to buy the speakers, I went back to electronics to look at a phone cable extension. When I was in the isle looking for where they kept it, this lady (maybe 60) walks around the corner (Nobody else was in the electronics except the guy at the till she ignored to talk to me.), and says "Can I help you?" in a very rude sounding tone. I then said "Yes, could you please tell me where the phone cables are?" (Yes, my parents did teach me manners.). She then said "They're over here!" once again in her rude tone. I thanked her and began my search. When I was finished I wanted to check the price of the cable since the speakers were on sale. When I started to walk toward the closest scanner (otherside of store), she quickly walked behind me and then shouted, "Where do you think your taking that?!?!?". (Note that only items behind the glass need to be bought at the electronic counter. Also she abandoned the other customer again.) I quickly replied that I was just heading to my mom (Who was by the scanner). She then said "Oh, fine then." and wandered back to the counter. That was the end of it since when I went to put back the cable I had my mom come with me.

I am sickened by the lack of respect. It wasn't so much that she asked me what I was doing (I had nothing to hide), but the tone and rude conduct she presented. I realize teens do shoplift, but adults do it just as much. I'll be damned if I let people get away with this. In a bit I am phoning Zellers to talk to the management, as well I will let my friends know to avoid shopping there. Also look in the Sunday paper for a letter about ageism.

Now you tell me... Am I wrong? Will I look like a fool?

Blogging more / Long weekend / Broken headphones

Hello, hello! I am back after what seemed like a long break. I hope to start blogging a little more often. I guess that is all I have to say about that for now.

How was your long weekend? Post a comment and tell me about it. Mine was long, plus I had an extra day because I slept in today... well yesterday. Easter was fun, lots of food and chocolate. Hmm, thats about it... I guess I need to start doing more stuff to make my blogs more interesting.

Oh, my headphones are broken, so I need to find out how to replace them. They are Sony's which I bought back in January. The sound only comes out one side. I tried looking for a way to replace them on Sony's website, but I can't seem to find out what to do. I hope Zellers will replace them or whatever but yeah... any ideas, please comment and tell me! Thanks!

Canadian in Mexican Jail

First off, before reading my post, read this news story.

-------------------------------------------------------

This woman named Brenda Martin had been locked up in a Mexican jail two years ago when she was charged with money laundering and conspiracy. Her boss, who was the mastermind behind this whole thing even swore under oath that she had no part in this crime. Why is she still in jail??? Because she is on foreign soil and they can do anything they please with her. Who should be stopping this bullshit? Stephen Harpers government, but they are avoiding the issue. Why? Because they are low life fucks who could careless about the people of this country. Look who the Canadian people elected into government. Wait, come to think of it, the majority of Canadians didn't want Stephen Harper as PM, but since their votes are divided among the other parties, our system puts the party with the largest number of votes into lead seat. Fuck that!

Now back to my point... fuck Stephen Harper! Fuck the Conservatives. If you take a look at their website, conservative.ca, you might just notice that 90% of it is attacks on the other parties. Time after time, we have been shown that attack ads or "mudslinging" gets a country NO WHERE! Where are the fucking plans, the progress, the information on how to contact them to offer input. NOT THERE! Thats why I say fuck Stephen Harper and the Conservatives.

OK, seriously back to my point. This woman has been abused, gang raped and threatened, yet our government sits in the corner sucking their thumbs. Where do our rights play into this? Well, alot of her rights have been violated. Read up on them here!

A former PM came to the jail to see her, but is only sending a letter to the Mexican government to tell them to consider letting her go. Mexican Government... "Hmm, a letter from Paul Martin telling us to let Brenda go... HA!" Pieces of shit!

What we need to do is cut off all trade with Mexico and then send troops there to blow the fucking place up and rescue Brenda. Come on we have to do something!

Can you tell I'm pissed? I am, because if I was to leave this country for whatever reason, I would like to know that the government has my back, which the Canadian Goverment bigots clearly don't. Pathetic!

GOOD LUCK ENDEAVOR!
