Politics Shmalitics my POV right or wrong they are mine

I dont often say much about politics,because quite frankly I dont really give a shit whose our fearless leader of Canada is! why? because they are all assholes thats why, they lie, they cheat, they steal and generally give us (the general masses) a bone here and there to appease us while secretly rewriting the laws. Such is life, welcome to Canada where we become a little more Americanized each passing day.

One of the perks of being Canadian was a quazi freedom of speech, you could say what ever you liked as long as it didnt incite a riot or provoke or promote Hate, the Neo Nazis and extreme right wing loons had a rough go up here in Canada,that is until our fearless leader removed section 13 from our law books.... yippie effen yahoo!! now the younger generations see this as a good thing, why? because dammit Canada should have free speech just like in the good ol US of A !! they forgot that section 13 stopped those crazy west burrow bastards at the border just a few short years ago, they probably never even heard what happened to the KKK in Alberta back in the 1990s, they most likely never felt the sting of hateful words... the price of free speech is going to be steep in Canada, all those hate groups that were stopped from entering Canada now have free reign ... but I lament, no one paid heed to the cost of hate speech way back in the early 1930s over in Germany either...well yeah look how that turned out, Not saying that will happen in Canada, no the jews and muslims and tamil tigers etc are all safe.... for now, the Gay community is going to catch hell now for sure, they will be the first target I guarantee it, after all now you can legally organize a mob and crash pride parades calling them anything you desire.....you are now immune from prosecution, and you can bet your ass almost every right wing blowhard insane preacher with a couple hundred equally insane followers are gonna have a field day here in Canada

Why does this irk me enough to write a blog post? because I am one of those "old farts" that fought for equality for ALL going way back to the late 1970s when I was just a confused kid who didnt know my ass from a hole in the ground, thats why! Ive been gay bashed, not just verbally but physically, hell I have a criminal record (multiple assaults) from the early to mid 1980s for getting into rumbles and brawls over my right to be ME! Im getting too old for this hate shit! I was looking towards the newer generations to keep a vigilant eye on our hard won rights and freedoms , but they dropped the ball...a royal FUBAR, so much for the next generation being the enlightened bunch, they will hug a tree, preach against spanking and discipline, but fallow the masses like good little sheep and actually cheer the new version of free speech....the American version, whats that bible story when the jews strung Jesus up on the cross?? oh yes....forgive them father for they know not what they do.... yeah well I aint God and I aint so forgiving, the new generation have let our fearless leader abolish the law that prevented hate speech...they trampled on my right to live in PEACE free of verbal abuse and the shit storm that is coming! you give those freakin right wingers an inch and they will take a mile and condemn 1 group at a time.

enough of that shit, lets move on shall we?

How about that Nelson Mandela , a great man really, though I am not of African decent, I have followed this man for decades and truly believed in his cause, it does sadden me to know that he is not long for this world.I really dont know what to say except his family is doing a piss poor job at maintaining his legacy! someone needs to wake the hell up and set things right before Nelsons legacy is over shadowed by all the family infighting! this too saddens me.

on the topic of the USA, all I have to say is that I am pro Obama, and think that good ol boy GWB should be well forgotten and soon...as the Great Bugs Bunny would say....What a maroon!! hey if its any consolation we have had (and sometimes still have) our share of maroons as our fearless leader(s) up here in Canada, anyway, I am NOT anti American, I do love our southern neighbors, I simply do not want to become one either! ( Hear that Harper... We are CANADIAN,not AMERICAN and wish to stay that way) I do however love that American cooking!! OMG yall can cook!! I have in my life had the pleasure of travelling 38 states, I can honestly say that I was made to feel welcomed in every single one, some of my greatest memories was chatting about our funny money and how colorful it is and swapping smokes ( yall smoke some serious shit down there,honestly I cant handle American cigarettes), Im not too partial about your beer though, honestly how can you drink that shit? it tastes like recycled monkey piss and is weaker than hell, your strongest beer is considered a light beer here, if you want to taste real beer come to Canada ! however your hard liquors can stone a horse! yall tricked me good with something called Ever Clear! I drank 3 or 4 shots of this magic potion in Vegas, tasted like gasoline and holy flying batfarts did it ever burn ! (both ways, going in and coming out)dont think Ive ever pissed liquid fire before or since!btw I woke up 3 days later in Utah with no clue how I got there, still dont know to this day, and that was 20+ years ago.

American politics is fun to watch, your candidates good or bad have flare and style and pizzazz unlike our dry snooze fest politics, watching Canadian politics is akin to watching paint dry,I dont know its just that you Americans seem to do everything louder and with more enthusiasm than the rest of the world, especially Canada, dont take that wrong, its a compliment,dont even get me started on your accents, dang how can there be so many different accents in 1 country, each state has its own accent and in some cases language ( I was messed up in Cajun country), couldnt understand a dang thing was that english french? wow its like trying to talk to an intoxicated Newfoundlander, just fallow the tone of voice and not politely now and then!

I cant get a passport (because Im to damn lazy to get a pardon) and I dont much care for all the border guard bull shit (on either side of the border)so I wont be able to take my family to the USA and show them some truly awe inspiring sights such as Hoover Dam, Old Faithful, the red/purple mountains in Arizona, the Washington Monument, or Mount RushMore, damn that last one is a true marvel of human ingenuity !

anyway its late, Im tired, Ill bitch about my own country (Canada) another day, this whole free speech shit really has my undies in a knot and I needed to vent


Gnight

The simple side of life

Happy Independence Day to everyone in the USA !! God Bless you,may you once again become a world leader and champion of all that is Right and Just.

Canada Day was July 1st, being that we live out in the countryside I purchased and fired off fireworks, of course they werent as good as the professional fireworks in the cities, but hey, they were pretty and there were no major mishaps,fires or unwanted mayhem.

Today was a day of getting back to basics,remembering where we were and where we are now, today was a day to get back to the simple country living that we have come to enjoy for the past 6 odd years or so.
Keep in mind that my Wife is a city gal, born and raised in Calgary Alberta,she has lived in the big city for 32 years of her life,try to picture the culture shock and general shock of leaving a big noisy fast paced city of 1.2 million people and moving to the outskirts of a small village with less than 500 people,where the only noise is cows mooing or coyotes howling! there is a small bar here, always dead except for friday nights when all the rowdy young farm boys come to town to drink gamble and swap stories about who has the biggest baddest truck in these here parts, the village also has a gas station which doubles as the local liquor store,convenience store,and greyhound bus stop ( though the bus rarely stops here), there is also a post office( mail arrives around 10:30am and gets sorted sometime before 4pm (closing time), there is an Anglican church,a hockey rink with a small curling rink attached, and a school that goes from kinder-garden to grade 8 (the kids have to bus it to the city to attend high school) and thats about it.

My wife misses the city life,she misses the transit system,she misses the large crowds and multiple shopping stores and malls,and after 6 years out here in the country she is still blind to all the beauty and freedom and safety that comes with living out here, I know if I ever hit the lottery or sold our property she would demand to move back to the stinking crime ridden big city.

I am hurt, wounded,and now uncertain of my future,our sons future, I am saddened by the fact that we live in an almost paradise and my wife is blind to it and doesnt want to be here at all, yes the winters here in Saskatchewan are brutal, minus 40 degrees and over 6 feet of snow are the normal here in winter, and they are long winters too, 6 months straight, last winter it was 7 months straight! even I get fed up with the winters, but I always stop and think we usually get 6 months of hot summer too so it balances out.

Overall it is like a personal utopia here that Ive spent 6 years building for my wife and son, you wont see deer or moose in your yard in the middle of the city, you dont hear the coyotes sing their lonesome songs,nor hear the bull frogs and crickets, you cant tame down a raccoon in the city and have your morning coffee out on the deck wearing nothing but a tee shirt and boxers without a neighbor bitching, in the city you can only have as many hobbies/toys as your garage or parking space will allow, here in the country we have all kinds of toys, a camper, 3 vehicles, a pair of off road bikes a snowmobile etc, good luck using half that crap in the city never mind trying to park it all, here you can walk for miles and breathe fresh flower scented air, the folks are friendly and actually stop and talk to you, try leaving your car, garage and house unlocked over night or while your out in the city, cant do it or youd be robbed blind, here you can and we often do as do most others in the village.

Here in the country you can sit out and watch the stars and actually see them, all of them, cant do that in the city,the bright lights blind the stars,thunder storms are awesome out here in the country,scary and invigorating at the same time, most of the storms are lost in the cities, hard to watch the lightening show when theres a hundred story skyscraper blocking your view.

here our kid is free to roam where ever he pleases,everyone knows him and if he gets into mischief ,we know about it before he gets home and can deal with it, cant let your kid have that kind of freedom in the city, no shootings stabbings robbery in the country, all that and more in the city.

Im hurt because we have worked hard to get ourselves out here so our son could be free and so we could get away from the crime found in the cities, I dont wish to give what we have up just to have multiple shopping options, we can drive to the city for a day of shopping without having to actually live there.

I am pretty sure I would whither up and eventually die of a broken heart if I had to move back to a city, our son feels the same, yet my wife doesnt seem to care, she wants the city and is not happy here at all, I am caught between a rock and a hard place, and hope that her and I can resolve this, the negativity is killing me.


guess thats all for now

FootBall Fans…are you curious what the differences are between American NFL and Canadian CFL are…


Okay there ARE some BIG Diferrences between American Football and Canadian FootBall Differents size fields, Different rules and so much more ( Credit goes to ) ….

Canadian
110 yd long,
plus two 20 yd end zones.
Width is 65 yards. American
100 yd long,
plus two 10 yd end zones.
Width is 53.5 yards.
Canadian:

American:

12 players on the field during a play.
11 players on the field during a play.
Three downs to make 10 yards.
Four downs to make 10 yards.
6 points for a touchdown, 1 for a kicked convert, 2 for a passed or rushed convert, 3 for a field goal, 2 for a safety touch, 1 for a rouge.A rouge (also called a single) is awarded to a kicking or punting team (Team A) if an opposing player (Team B):
(i) catches or recovers a punt or a missed field goal in his own end zone but is prevented by Team A from returning the ball back out onto the field of play, or

(ii) elects to drop to one knee while still in the end zone before having returned the ball to the field of play, or

(iii) elects to run with the ball from the end zone out of bounds rather than enter the field of play.

Thus, kicking and punting plays into an opponent’s end zone are considered to be of much higher strategic value than in American football. The ball remains live until one of the above events is concluded, as well as if the Team B player successfully returns the ball out of his end zone onto the field of play.

6 points for a touchdown, 1 for a kicked convert, 2 for a run or pass convert, 3 for a field goal, 2 for a safety touch.
On a field goal attempt, the defending team may return a missed field goal to the kicking team’s end zone for a Touchdown.On a convert attempt after a touchdown, the defending team may return a missed kick convert to the kicking team’s end zone for 1 point, or if the convert was a rush or pass play may return a fumble or interception for 2 points.


A kicked ball is ruled dead (play is stopped) in the circumstances of a missed field goal or convert.
Punt or kick coverage teams must give a 5 yard empty zone around the opposing receiver until he has received the ball. This is called the No Yards rule.Kick or punt receivers must field all kicks and punts, with no exceptions.
An unhandled ball from a place kick or punt may be legally recovered by the kicker. In such a case, the kicker is exempt from the No Yardsrule. Thus, a player from Team A may punt or kick the ball 40 yards, chase the ball upfield, then recover an untouched ball for a Team A first down. Such instances are rare since the player would have to elude plenty of blocking to reach the ball. When it does happen, this play is highly exciting.

The ball is live under almost all circumstances during a legal play within bounds at any time during the game except for incomplete forward passes.



A kicked ball is ruled dead (play is stopped) if a punt or kickoff receiver:(i) allows the ball to roll to a complete stop, or
(ii) allows the opposing team to touch the ball before he does, or

(iii) elects to call a fair catch to avoid being hit (ending play). Canadians find the fair catch rule to be embarassing.

Four 15-minute quarters, with a large rest period at half time and lesser rest periods between quarters.
Four 15-minute quarters with a large rest period at half time and lesser rest periods between quarters.
The official time clock runs continuously unless stopped when a time out is called by a team, or the referee stops play to allow opposing teams to align properly after a play.
The official time clock runs continuously unless stopped when a time out is called by a team, or the referee stops play to allow opposing teams to align properly after a play.
There is a mandatory play stoppage with 3 minutes remaining in each half.
There is a mandatory stoppage of play with 2 minutes remaining in thefinal quarter.
After the three minute warning, the play clock is run only from the snap of the ball to when the referee declares that play dead. Thus, the closing minutes of a CFL game can seem like an eternity, with miraculous comebacks by trailing teams.
With a constantly running game clock, a team that is behind by a significant margin may not realistically expect to win even though half a quarter may still remain.
An offence has 20 seconds from the referee’s signal to begin a play.
An offence has 45 seconds from the referee’s signal to begin a play.
Defensive linemen must line up 1 yard opposite the line of scrimmage prior to a play.
Defensive linemen may line up immediately opposite the line of scrimmage.
Prior to the snap of the ball:(i) all offensive backfielders and receivers, except the quarterback, are allowed unlimited motion provided that they remain more than one yard behind the line of scrimmage.
(ii) offensive linemen must not move.

Prior to the snap of the ball, no member of the offence may move, with the exception of one eligible receiver, who may move only in parallel with the line of scrimmage.
Canadian football has an offensive player called a Slotback, who is a larger-sized eligible receiver somewhat like an American tight end but who does not necessarily line up with the offensive linemen as the American does. Some offensive schemes may use several slotbacks at once.
No equivalent player position exists.
Kickoffs occur from the kicking team’s own 35 yard line.
Kickoffs occur from the kicking team’s own 30 yard line.
39 full time positions on every team made up of 19 Canadian players, 17 non-Canadians, plus 3 quarterbacks.
45 full time positions on every team.
Goalposts are Tee-shaped and are located over the goal line.
Goalposts are Tee-shaped and are placed on the end zone’s farthest boundary line from the field of play, 10 yards behind the goal line.
A Look At The Players

Canadian:

American:

Linebackers and defensive linemen require greater footspeed, faster lateral movement, better catching ability due to larger field and prevalent passing style of Canadian offences.
Linemen and linebackers are less mobile, are larger in size due to smaller field and prevalent running style of American offences.
Quarterbacks use dropback, shotgun, and option styles, and must also be able to scramble and improvise. Receivers and defensive backs are same size as in American football.
Due to much smaller field, quarterbacks do not need to be as mobile. They rely on dropback and shotgunstyles, with some use of the option.
Smaller roster means most players must play on special teams, thus requiring more skills and greater stamina due to greater game time per player.
Large roster means special teams have their own set of specialist players.
20 second interval between plays, combined with special teams duties, means players must have greater stamina, endurance.
45 second interval between plays means all players have longer recovery time, so lesser need for stamina, endurance.
Players originally from Canada have lesser technical training in their developmental years than Americans, but turn out to be exemplary performers when coached at the professional level. Canadian players usually progress from CJFL (Junior) or more likely CIAU (University) football to the CFL. Canadian universities do not offer monetary athletic scholarships of the type common in the United States. Academic athletes in Canada must achieve passing grades in typical undergraduate courses. Some Canadian youngsters opt to attend American colleges for the better training and the monetary scholarships offered.Canada is a nation of almost 30 million people.
American players in the CFL almost always opt to play in Canada because the quality of their talent may be equal to that of an NFL player but their physical size was deemed to be not large or heavy enough for the American football style. Canadian teams purposely recruit speedy and talented American players who have been cut from NFL teams for being undersized. The CFL offers these players an opportunity to continue their playing careers.

With a population of about 260 million, and with an enormous amateur and college football system of leagues and coaching, American teams have their choice of the cream of their best trained and most talented players. There are about 1,200 players under contract in the NFL. Some Canadians play in the NFL if they are of sufficient size.
Standard salaries of CFL players range from about $30,000 per year for rookies to about $250,000 for starting quarterbacks.
Salaries can reach into the millions of dollars per year for top NFL players.
Of Course being a Canadian , I am Biased and truly believe our CFL is much better and much more entertaining than the NFL , oh just one more little tidbit of information, in the final 2 minutes or seconds of the game … Canadians do NOT take a knee and wait for the clock to run out … we play to the very end win or lose, doesn’t matter if our teams are losing by 2 or 102 , we continue to give it our all until the bitter end. …. just thought I’d throw that out there for ya’s .

Now for the Burning questions…#1 what is your favourite league?, #2 who is your favorite team? #3 win or lose , do you stay loyal to your chosen team? #4 Does your team consider you (the fans) to be their 13th man? ( 12th for you American’s) … #5 Does your team include you (the fans) in their victories? , #6 does your team make you (the fans) feel like you are an important and integral part of the team? …. #7 if you answered NO to any question from #4 to #6 …. perhaps you SHOULD consider coming to the Green Side and Joining Rider Nation! … we will teach you how to properly cut and wear a watermelon on your head, we will also teach you how to properly wear a Pilsner beer bottle box on your head ( Can not be any other beer brand except Pilsner) , we will feed you the best tailgate BBQ on the planet and load you up with all the Pilsner beer you can drink , we will also ply you with green jello shots between beers , we will teach you multiple Rider Pride songs and of course the sacred Anthem, we will arm you with various noisemakers ( boom sticks vuvuzelas, trumpets, bugles and drums ), we will teach you the chant that strikes terror in any opposing team, we will teach you to out shout and cheer any stray opposing teams fans, and how to drown them out and deafen them when they attempt to gather en masse, we will teach you how to have Pride win or lose , and after 3 or 4 games you will find that you too bleed Green! Typical attire to be worn at any Rider game… anything GREEN (Rider Jersey preferred ) Green face paint ( get creative here and create any design or warrior look you like, we truly appreciate the extra effort) The Sacred Watermelon! make sure this is worn as a helmet on your head, ( You may add horns or any other item of your choice, with the exception of teletubby handles or antenna’s … TINKY WINKY is OUT!! ) if for some reason you can not locate a watermelon ( out of season, opposing teams home town/city has the grocery stores hide the watermelons *yes they actually do that* or refuse to sell you a watermelon because you are a Rider fan *they do that too* ) … you may substitute said watermelon for a Pilsner beer bottle box *Note*: Remove Beer before putting the box on your head! preferred method of beer removal.. 1 bottle at a time, drink it then take another… by the time you finish the 12th beer the idea of being seen in public wearing a beer box for a hat will be quite appealing! … One last thing… a Rider fan is never truly disrespectful to opposing team fans, No calling them foul names, no BOOing when their team nails a touchdown , a collective sigh or aww is acceptable, trash talk is reserved for the tailgate parties before the game , but must be friendly and jolly in nature, absolutely NO FIGHTING, take the High Road, You’re part of an Elite Club that everyone else envies, maintain the peace by offering up a burger , beer and green jello shot and a handshake.

Some strange things are happening since I quit smoking


Okay so I am a new ex smoker , I’m only 15 days into this and I did not go “cold turkey”( I’d have killed someone had I tried that route), I’m using Champix to quit and it is working really good, how ever there are some side effects that I have been experiencing.

Vivid strange dreams, such as being in a city somewhere in the USA chasing someone and jumping from train to train only to lose them in an old building. – I don’t know why I was chasing them but I was hell bent on catching them! and why a city in the USA?? I’m a country bumpkin from Canada!

The Screaming Shit Weasels (the runs) a not to fun side effect of Champix, those I think are gone since yesterday (Thank God!!) my poor arse couldn’t take much more of that abuse! everything I ate within the first 13 days turned instantly into Super High Octane Anal Rocket Fuel! ( mental note to self, lay off the chili peppers when dealing with shit weasels and get familiar with the song Ring of Fire)!!

I also walked around freezing and roasting to death for the first 12 days, very much like being in the throes of menopause, it wasn’t very pleasant and I now have a healthy respect for the ladies who suffer hot flashes and bouts of freezing on a regular basis, I barely survived 12 days, I can’t fathom experiencing that for years at a time.

Now after 15 days I am actually starting to feel a bit different, for starters I have more energy, in fact for the first time in forever I have had energy to spare, it feels good to not be so easily tired , I can do more with my time , how ever I do still have my mid afternoon snooze , though they are starting to be more of power naps than actual snoozes.

My sense of smell is a tad weird now, I can smell a lot better, but I also smell things that just can not be, such as tonight I came home from a walk around the village and to me my house smelled like a Brewery, I could smell beer ! there is no beer in my house.
I get phantom smells , but my sense of smell is getting sharper, I can smell smoke on other people, and quite frankly, it’s not very pleasant to me.

My sense of Taste is really messed up too, Now I must state for the record I am a Meatasaurus (Carnivore) , I love MEAT and have meat with every meal, not always store bought either, I also hunt and fish, there is deer, elk, moose and various fresh water fish and fowl in my deep freeze, I make NO apologies for my love of meat nor for the fact that I hunt either, to each their own.
The point of this is, tonight I BBQ’ed up beef steaks for myself and my family, I cooked them to perfection, they were seasoned just right and were ohhh so tender and juicy, I swear I have never grilled so good in my life as I did tonight, it would have made Bobby Flay proud for sure…. just one teensy tiny problem…..

I took two bites and damn near upchucked! to me it was the foulest tasting hunk of meat I have ever eaten! I asked my wife and our son if it tasted “off” to them? NOPE they were eating it up like there was no tomorrow, so I tried again, nada I actually gagged.. WTF!!!?? I couldn’t eat my beloved steak!! I ate the fried Polenta and sweet potatoes , the green beans (my fav) and the purple carrots just fine, but no matter how hard I tried I just could not eat my steak!! our dog Memphis ate good tonight, he got a $15 steak supper!!

Eggs are another thing I can’t eat right now, to me they taste god aweful, and just 4 days ago I was enjoying a 6 egg omelette, Orange juice is out too (and I love orange juice) it’s too acidy and leaves a bad after taste.

I hope my taste buds settle down and smarten up because I’d rather die than give up eating meat and eggs !!

Anyway that’s it for tonight, remember folks, express your love often, never take tomorrow for granted,and be kind to others

‘Tis Thanksgiving here in Canada so here are some of my fav freebies


So today is Turkey day here in Canukistan (Canada) but we actually celebrated Thanksgiving on Sunday due to conflicting family obligations, my baby sister moved to the city , my Mother lives 4.5 hours away, some family were stopping in from Alberta , the long and the short of it is our Thanksgiving dinner was a success, 2 – 18 pound turkeys roasted to perfection fed everyone and left me in a Turkey coma for a couple hours after dinner.

So today I have just been relaxing and down loading music, I found a great FREE music download site called MP3Skull : it’s free and again worth checking out if you’re a music junkie like me.

To keep my pc/laptop running virus free I also turned to a free program , again why pay for it if you can get it for free? .. now there are many great antivirus programs such as Panda or Avast, but I prefer AVG , it’s very user friendly and requires no manual set up (though that is also an option) and is customizable, http://www.avg.com or http://www.avg.org , go for the 2015 free version (that way you don’t have to do a massive update in the new year) the free version provides full protection except for a firewall , most computers will be running their O/S firewall anyway.

If you have avg free and are still worried about trojans and spyware/malware you can also download Spybot , just remember running 2 antivirus programs can cause conflicts as they will often interfere with each other , but here is the free spybot link anyway http://www.spybot.com , but honestly if you’re using AVG (free or otherwise) you won’t need spybot or any other program.

So there you have it, some of my favorite links to my favorite freebies, I will post more as I find them and thoroughly check them out, I am NOT a computer guru so the programs and sites I use have to be idiot proof , if they pass the idiot proof test I’ll post them here.

Remember folks : express your love often,never take tomorrow for granted,and be kind to others.

"> http://www.mp3skull.com , I’d recommend playing the song before downloading to make sure it is the version you want, I also use itunes but I figure why pay when I can get it for free? They have a lot of old music (classic rock etc) as well as current music, well worth checking out.

I disabled my windows music player (sorry microsoft but your music player sucks), I have been a WinAmp user for well over a decade, WinAmp is totally customizable, has over 500 skins, and the visualizations (fractal art ) are amazing, but that aside for me the best thing about WinAmp is the Equalizer and sound quality , it is second to none (blows the itunes player off the planet too) http://www.winamp.com it’s free and again worth checking out if you’re a music junkie like me.

To keep my pc/laptop running virus free I also turned to a free program , again why pay for it if you can get it for free? .. now there are many great antivirus programs such as Panda or Avast, but I prefer AVG , it’s very user friendly and requires no manual set up (though that is also an option) and is customizable, http://www.avg.com or http://www.avg.org , go for the 2015 free version (that way you don’t have to do a massive update in the new year) the free version provides full protection except for a firewall , most computers will be running their O/S firewall anyway.
