the Idiots Have Taken Over

Whether you believe it or not, the Idiots Have Taken Over

Here We Go Again

I don’t know if I would say I’m getting political again but I’m pissed again at society. There is a reason I don’t watch the evening news because it always represents the bad and focuses in on the shit. Tonight in Vancouver some man was attacked for no apparent reason and beaten over the head with a mallet, if not for the heroics of a woman he would probably be dead. No one knew the reasoning for the attack but there is a strong possibility there was no reason.

Years back when I was living in Edmonton my cousins hubby was enjoying his time down on Whyte Avenue after partaking in an epic concert at Rexall place. It was towards the end of the night when he was standing outside of Winks when he was beaten in the back with a baseball bat. Eventually the police got involved and much to there surprise they had told them that it was the 8th record of it happening that night. Turns out it was apparently some sort of initiation.

Some sort of initiation? An initiation that involves beating innocent people, male and female, for no apparent reason? Why? I’m the biggest idiot when it comes to toilet humor (this website showcases that strongly) but how in the world can someone find that “funny”? I’ve done some ridiculous things in my life that I regret and probably will the rest of my life but something like that is beyond idiocy and it worries me quite frequently to what we are walking into in the future. It’s becoming more and more frequent in today’s society that people are pulling shit like this because it’s supposed to be funny when in truth the only funny thing about is how much of an idiot they are for thinking so.

Sadly that was only one of MANY stories I could talk about. The same thing happened in an LRT station where a man was beaten nearly to death for no reason. Another man was pushed onto the tracks just missing a train as it arrived.

Something so small, yet much bigger

We've been Idiots for many years

Yet here we are shaking our heads at things like murder, assault, robbery, etc. and when we look to our apparent leaders in charge they are committing the same atrocities…and for what, religion? Oil? More Money? Are things getting any better? Probably not.

Now I’m not one to weigh in one the “War on Terrorism” because I don’t ever try to pretend I know what’s going on. I dont agree with one side or the other. Both sides have killed each other, innocents, and committed mass genocide throughout the process. And still it spreads through it’s countries people that anyone associated with the opposition is evil! I read this earlier today:

I was a 24 year old medical student in the US before deciding I wanted to see a bit of the world before I got old. I went to a youth hostel in New Delhi during summer break while waiting for a friend from law school in the the US to meet me there., In four days the owners of the guest house, who were clearly dealing heroine, decided that they did not trust me, did not like Americans, and drugged the coke I was drinking (the skin under my fingernails turned purple/blue and I got really sleepy) then they surrounded me and dropped me off their balcony which is about 2o feet (more than 6 meters) from the ground. I woke up in the Apollo hospital with a spinal cord injury and a serious skull fracture. I was airlifted back to the US to receive further surgery and I can, by Grace of God, walk now but my life will never be the same.

The question remains, as a Canadian or American would you feel nervous with a Muslim flying on a plane with you? It’s the way the world is now. No one can trust each other and we certainly don’t respect one another.

The Future

I’m often asked (jokingly) if I will ever settle down, get married, and have kids to which I more often respond “nope”. Maybe I will slip up or change my mind but to this day I don’t think it will happen. Perhaps I’m over exaggerating but when one sees what is happening in the world with the pollution, war, and disrespect for another why would you want to put one of your kids through something so shitty that’s about to happen. Society is so messed up now and it won’t get any better in the near future, money runs the Government, the people in charge get richer, so why would the people in power change to begin with?

NOFX

Never Trust A Hippy

It’s funny because a lot of the other things people find weird about me is my ever growing collection of punk rock (if that’s what its called, there’s to many names of punk rock, who cares) music I collect and listen to. One band in particular is NOFX who I’ve listened to I think since Philly introduced them to me on my way back to Calgary one summer. It’s something about this type of genre of music that I relate to and perhaps why I spend a lot of time listening to it. More so maybe it’s the reason for this epic rant.

Like any good punk rock band they have there ridiculous songs (see Liza & Louise – a great song about lesbianism) but they also have a strong voice when it comes to such big things like war and politics, as all great punk rock bands did (example, the Ramones). One song in particular, and the one I’ve named this nonsense about is Idiots Are Taking Over.

Why? Well when I listen to the song and read/watch the news it puts everything into perspective about how the idiots are actually taking over. As our society continues to evolve and invent amazing new technologies we still feel the urge to not share our knowledge with others. Would it be so hard to work together to achieve something as great as colonizing the Moon or another planet like Mars? Why is it important for the U.S, Russia, and China to all have separate space programs when if they all worked as one they would probably reach their goal faster?

Would it be so hard to respect one another?

I dont know.

What I do know is there are to many idiots making idiot decisions.

The Idiots Are Taking Over

it’s not the right time to be sober
now the idiots have taken over
spreading like a social cancer, is there an answer?

the idiots are takin over [x8]

Winter Olympics, more like Spring Olympics!

I love sports. Sports, sports, sports. Come the culmination of the Winter Olympics in Vancouver my mood will be somber, albeit not as somber as not being there right now, but something about this winter Olympics seems to be lacking. Perhaps it’s to early to say that, perhaps it’s because mens ice hockey hasn’t started, but I think the real reason something doesn’t feel right about this Winter Olympics is because “IT’S NOT WINTER”.

Already being noted as the warmest city ever to host the Olympics it didn’t help and doesn’t continue to help that Vancouver is having record temperatures over the course of this Winter Olympics. I hate the cold like anyone else but being able to attend events potentially in shorts and/or a T-shirt isn’t right. They should have held the opening ceremonies inside the Beaverlodge Arena instead, it’s always miserably cold and snowy here.

To Much Pressure?

Unless you’ve been living under a rock the last 24 hours you’ve heard Canada has finally won it’s first gold medal and more importantly it’s first gold medal ever on home soil. Montreal native Alexandre Bilodeau captured gold last night in the men’s moguls helping the entire nation breathe a collective sigh of relief. Over the course of past three year’s all us Canadians have had the reoccurring media voice telling us this could be Canada’s year to win it all. My response to that is to tell them to “shut the hell up”.

Alexandre Bilodeau captures Canada's first gold medal

Let the athletes do their thing, in my personal opinion they don’t need the extra pressure added onto them if they fail to deliver. Why? Because then you have dicks like me complaining about not winning enough medals and seeing power house countries who spend ridiculously into their athletes always walking away with medals. Regardless the Olympics isn’t always about winning, it’s about inspiration. In some cases it’s about both, like our gold medal winner Mr. Bilodeau.

Dale Begg Smith

In other cases it’s about douchebagery, like Mr Begg Smith who couldn’t even care to look interested in reaching the podium for silver. There is a reason people are booing you Smith, your spyware makes sweet innocent people such as myself have to clean computers and you just won a silver medal and apparently could give two f$&%’s. Personally I hope in your endevours in Vancouver you catch gonorrhea.

Your Favorite Moment

It’s still early but for all you lucky people attending the Olympics I’d like to hear you’re favorite moment so far of this winter Olympics. I know all of us eat breath and sleep hockey and a men and womens gold like the Salt Lake Olympics will arguably be the biggest moment for a lot of us but some of the greatest moments will be the ones that no one is expecting.

Till next time kiddos

(PS, Luke/Zimms smarten up!)

It’s one thing to lie to impress broads, I couldn’t count on both hands how many stories I’ve heard of people I know pretending to be something of a little more substance, hell this past weekend I was apparently hanging out with the leading money winner on the Nationwide Tour and the owner of Tropicana (which I later found out was supposed to be Encana). I won’t even get into this past Canada Day in Fort McMurray when I was Matt Walker for the night only to be called out by the largest girl in the bar about the lack of shape I was in. Ouch, but funny none the less.

But at least when something like this occurs its either a running joke because its completely ridiculous or the one running it has at least the faintest knowledge about who he’s pretending to be. Saturday night some skinny meatball approached a couple of us claiming he stopped a couple of his friends from beating some of us up and then proceded to ask if we we’re hockey players. “Yup” we all said and he replied with a “cool, me too.”

In typical hockey talk fashion we ask, “Yeah, where do you play?”

Buddy responds, “I’m playing double Junior A in Red Deer”.

Ok, we’re all drunk I can understand screwing up the first time so we had to ask him again and he again responds “double Junior A”.

“There’s no such thing as Double Junior A buddy” we say, to which he responds “Oh I meant Junior A in Red Deer”.

Now anyone who plays or has played in the AJHL or even follows it remotely would know there isn’t a god damn team that exists in Red Deer. Stretching the truth happens, trying to impress girls happens, but clean up your act a little, you dont need to lie to a bunch of drunk guys claiming to be a hockey player. At the very least do some research or know something about what you’re pretending to be or at least be like me and not be able to speak English by the end of the night.

At least I wasn’t drunk enough to see the cops harass the Oilers Glencross about jaywalking, honestly isnt there people being stabbed on Whyte Ave, that seems a touch more important then having 4 cop cars arresting people for jaywalking.

Walks

My fights, I mean Matt’s latest fiasco’s against the Blue Jackets have been uploaded. Also I uploaded the magic we witnessed across the street a couple weeks back, being homeless, getting drunk at 10am, and smashing your head on the pavement makes for some great entertainment.

But hey, it’s summer time this shit is supposed to be expected.

Which is why I have no sympathy for people pulling off these antics in winter.  Especially you Mr. cyclist.  People like me may call you dumb for bringing your bike out in February but you ride a harley and are unstoppable!   You ride around all day revving your engine trying to impress broads when in reality you’re just setting yourself up to look stupid, did I mention that it was still February?

Apparently you dont like wearing a helmet because it seems you have taken a few to many spills and knocks to the head, how else would that explain cruising around on your bike at night?  Surely you must know that while in February it can be above zero during the days it still freezes at night.  With all the melting snow on the streets throughout the day you would think that would make things a little troublesome for a Harley come night time don’t you?

Which is why I have no sympathy (and sometimes laugh) for people like you who crash there bikes in the midst of Winter, you deserve to break a limb because:

a:) You’re an idiot
b:) You’re an idiot
c:) You’re an idiot
d:) All of the Above

Still, at least you’re not a cyclist in -40 degree weather biking around the city or hogging the roads.  Those people have a whole other bag of issues to deal with…

Before you get ahead of yourself stop right there, this isn’t a story about being creepy over hearing two people whale away on each other in the bedroom, what joy would that bring to anyone?  We’ve all been in a closet show or at least seen or overheard our friends and/or relatives (heaven forbid) lusting so writing a story about listening to two young adults banging seems pointless.

Instead I’ll tell you the story about two young adults involved in a domestic disturbance.

Right around 3 a.m that morning my GF (at the time) and I had the privilege of waking up to the people above in the midst of an argument.  This wasn’t any old relationship scrap either because the two of them both have serious RAGE issues as both made it clear they think each other are assholes and proved there point by stomping on the floor and slamming doors.  The jist of that argument from what I overheard (yes, I could hear them quite well) was the broad went out looking for a party crowd (David Lee Murphy I thaaaank you) and came home shattered drunk which apparently set the BF off the wall.  Seems a little hasty so maybe there is more to the story, after all when couples go to the bar separately in the city (Grande Prairie doesn’t count, it’s no better for gossip then the Lodge) you know full well that greasing, flirting, grinding, dancing, and maybe a blow job in the parking lot are all part the nights festivities.

Scrapping goes hand in hand with dating/marriage, but these two take it to a whole new level I’ve never seen before.  After spending an hour or so arguing the guy finally gave the girl the boot and kicked her out of the condo. The voyeur in me took over shortly after as I watched this broad, with suitcase in hand, stumble down the back steps and pause for a moment before heading to the guys truck and laying the boots to it for a good 5 minutes (which also set the trucks alarm off for 5 minutes).  Buddy finally came outside and yelled a bit more and told her to fuck off which she did but not before face planting into the pavement trying to pick up her car keys, did I mention she was shattered?

Needless to say probably not the brightest move to hop in a car when you can barely walk but she did anyway.  After trying to back out 5 times and nearly hitting the vehicle behind her 5 times she managed to get out of the parking lot only to drive out the ally and do laps (about 6 or so) around the traffic circle out front.  That was promptly followed by a phone call from that same guy telling her to come back…which she of course did.  I don’t need to tell you the adventure it was watching her trying to parallel park.

After an hour plus things were calm with the quiet sound of her crying.  I figured sleep was finally in order…NOPE, shortly after getting back together and mending hearts they broke up again moments later and enraged in another epic shouting battle which was followed up by the broad getting in her car again and disappearing.

For the longest time I never seen or heard the two together until I noticed recently that the car was back which led me to believe that either the two of them we’re back together or I was just to dumb to notice they hadn’t split in the first place.  Lucky for Curt and I we have had the privledge of hearing the odd argument here and there but nothing as serious as that.

That was until today when in the middle of the afternoon I was pleased to hear an eruption of shouting and slamming which helped nudge two pictures off my wall.   I couldn’t hear what it was about this time with all the outside traffic but I am pleased to let you all know you can experience two minutes of the 2 hours I had to endure today by watching the video, had I been on the ball a little more I would recorded more (even though it’s the same shiat over and over).

Which leads me to my big question, why are some people so dumb in the fact they cant realize just how bad they are with someone? The sad reality is there are literally millions of people who are miserable but wont do anything about it.  Well Dr. Walker has some advice, grow some damn balls, breakup, and go out on the town and find the next victim. Are people that pathetic they need to be with someone 24/7?

If you answered “yes” to that then I declare my douche bag for the week.

2. Having to wait in line for an extra 10 minutes to buy a Red Bull because of some douche-bag buying chocolate, and delaying your all-night gaming session.

Why Nerds Love Valentines

1. Everyone in a relationship is out on the town resulting in faster internet connections
2. You can watch porn in peace without being interrupted by your roommate and his girlfriend
3. You can eavesdrop on your roommate making sweet Valentine’s Day love to his girlfriend later in the night
4. If you have a girlfriend, you become “King of the Nerds” for a night
5. You look forward to a Valentine’s day themed logo on the Google homepage

This protest is only a small part of the bigger war. The war to end scientology started by Anonymous a few weeks ago with a short video released to the internet. Immediately following the release, many scientology related websites began to unexplainably go down. Official word from the cult of Xenu was, as expected, pretty damn gay.

It was so gay, in fact, that it made no mention of Anon. It seemed they were not taking this threat seriously. Either that or they thought if they just kept quiet it would all blow over soon enough. This was the same method used by New Orleans right before Katrina came around, and we know what happened there.

In the past few weeks, Anonymous has been giving scientology hell. It has been nothing short of an epic beginning. Some have been quick to question the legalities of the tactics used by the group and even laid down charges of terrorism. Because yeah, prank calling and DDoS attacks are definitely on par with 9-11 and 7-7… some people are just fucking idiots.

Personally, I support their campaign… no big surprise there. I have long and well been known to hate Tom Cruise and his evil minions of Spacemen. “But zero, isn’t it going a bit too far encouraging folks to randomly cut wires underneath cars…?” When you are dealing with people who have been known to boil a person alive, such has been documented about the church of scientology, then no. Fuck no. Let them all drive off cliffs…

These people should be shown no quarter whatsoever. The cutting wires thing is lame though… termites are where it is really at. Nice, hungry termites. The kind that can’t be traced back to anyone and will eat an entire building quietly and quickly within just a few weeks. That’s the way I would go anyways… if I wasn’t such a damn law abiding citizen.

Strike the last part of that final sentence. I end this with a few tips Anonymous has put out for those of us planning on attending the protests. See you there…

RIAA Website Wiped Clean by “Hackers”
Written by Ernesto on January 20, 2008

———————————-

Let’s just all agree that these douce bags had it coming.

Walks
www.hotstickybun.com

The story takes place in the summer of 2006 in the city of Edmonton where it seems the often rabid Oiler fans were found to have broken into Christopher Pronger’s home and set fire to his cherished rental furniture.

Weeks after losing there bid for a sixth Stanley Cup Oiler fans were stabbed once more in the mid section upon hearing news that Pronger wanted out of Edmonton.  At first wild speculation spread through the internet as blowhard Al Strachan broke the story that Prongers time in Edmonton was all but done and the former Hart trophy winner wanted a clean start in a new city.  “Ridiculous” many said, but as we found out Strachan was bang on and days later it was all over the media and quite apparent that our supposed franchise player was a soon to be memory.

It definitely was a shock to most Oil fans but really who cares, this crap happens all the time.  I’ll repeat one of the most frequently used phrases regarding this situation, “forget about it and move on”.  I, like most, would say the majority of us have but yet here it seems the media outside of Edmonton continue to make a story out of this situation.

We get it, Chris Pronger didn’t want to be an Oiler anymore but give it a rest already, that was over a year ago and people are still talking about it because it seems every other week some baboon in the media brings it up again. How come we aren’t talking about how Oli Jokinen wants out of Florida? It is a similar situation with absolutely no press. Funny how people in the media tell Oiler fans to “let it go” and they’re the ones ALWAYS bringing it up reporting on it.

Cue Chris Pronger on Jim Rome the other day.  Over a year after the turmoil Rome’s brilliant investigating brought up the whole urban legend that people broke into Prongers house and burnt his rental furniture, even going as far to say that his baby crib was torched.  Did Pronger set the record straight? Of course not, instead he went on believing the rumours he heard which begs the question, where exactly did this ridiculous rumour get started?

Cue St. Louis Blues commentator Andy Strickland who broke the story that a radio station in Edmonton bought Prongers rental furniture and had a bonfire raising money for charity.  “A radio station in Edmonton recently purchased the furniture Chris Pronger had rented from the company that rented Pronger the furniture,” Strickland wrote. “The radio station then set the furniture on fire while Oilers fans looked on and cheered. I guess that’s the respect you get when you take the team to the seventh game of the Stanley Cup Finals.”

Funny how no local media or radio stations confirmed the story.  Turns out that it was nothing more then a moment on air where a disc jockey was making a joke.  I guess when you’re a sports writer investigating isn’t part of your job description, heaven forbid you go to the source of the story…either Pronger himself or the actual Rental Company.  Ken King, the former VP of that rental company has been on record as saying “It never happened, we got it back in immaculate condition.”

Thus the Urband Legend is born.  Will Strickland,Jim Rome, TSN, Sportsnet, or any who have reported on this story set the record straight?  Probably not, after all the truth never seems to make a good story these days.  Sadly it’s this irresponsible journalism that continues to cloud Edmonton in such a negative light and every other day there seems to be some shot at the city or its hockey team.  How come no one talks about players signing here because they love it or when they do get here they want to stay?  Oh right, I already said…it doesn’t make a good story.

The reality of it all is that players ask for trades all the god damn time but it seems North American media wants to hop on the bandwagon of “bash Edmonton” with no factual proof.  Yes it is cold, yes there is a lot of travel, and yes some players cant handle the fishbowl lifestyle but this continuous dogging of the city from people who base there reports on rumours and not facts need to go back to school.

Despite there hatred for the Oilers and all the negative press on the city all one has to do is look at guys like Garon, Reasoner, Moreau, and even the late Ryan Smyth for proof on how much players actually appreciate not only the team but the city of Edmonton as well.

Oh right, it doesn’t make a good story.
