Funny

I seen this video a couple of weeks ago. I call it the "Dance Of The Unstarting ______ ". Fill in the blank with whatever you want, ie lawnmower, chainsaw or whatever has a pull start. I think it captures the essence of at least me and a few people I know caught in the same situation. They should show this to kids as a antidrug campaign.

The Saskatoon Rift

Today I watched the news. This is not unusual in itself, but I wanted to see the news article about the Saskatoon Rift as I think it should be called. The news article was not to thrilling as I thought it would be as the commercials made it to be, but I could care less! Anyways, it discuss a problem that I have known about for years. For those of of you that don't know, there is a illness in Saskatoon to an extent. I will define it for you. There is a river that divides Saskatoon, just about in the middle. One side is on the east side and one side is on the west. It's connected by a million bridges. Anyways, usually there is a definite not liking of each side by the other side. Myself, growing up in Saskatoon, generally I considered East side people to major snots who spoil their kids and are really arrogant rich bastards. Usually east siders seemed to have the mentality to think that the west side was basically no mans land. There was basically roving street gangs running around along with poverty everywhere for the eye to behold. There is a lot of people that I like the come from the "other" side. But living about 99.99% of my life in Saskatoon's west side, I can honestly say that I have had my share of east siders looking down on me. Needless to say I haven't helped to much by not liking the other side to much and being snotty too. But the mentality is there on both sides. I think there is a difference between both sides. Generally, the east side is a lot newer, neighborhoods, schools and has a lot of development. Also it has higher property values, keeping some of the riffraff out The west side has a lot of of poverty grouped into a few neighborhoods, more crime, older things such as schools, buildings and drugs. People tend to see what they want to see when they look to the other side of the river. I am no different. But I have to commend the city counsel for trying to deal with the issue head on, especially with the river development project.

Superman's Dead

Well, it might have a few day's delay, but I'll post it anyway's. I'm really saddened by the loss of a great person. The man was named Christopher Reeve. To me, he is the one that I will alway's think of when it comes to never giving up. This man fell off his horse in May of 1995, but he never stopped going. He opened up his own facility to teach people how to function when they were disabled. He also never stopped believing that he was going to be able to walk again. If this had ever happened to me, I am not sure if would be able to keep on going like Christopher did.

Anyway's, Chrisopher Reeve, I'm going to misss you

Daylight Savings Time

Lately, I've been hearing lot's of talk again about Daylight Saving Time. In spring, time usually goes ahead an hour while in the fall, it goes back. Here in Saskatchewan, it stays the same year round. Interestingly enough, I found out a couple days ago, it was done till the sixties and was decided to stay on the same time year round. Anyways, there always seems to be a group of people that want to change it over again to Daylight Saving Time. Today it's the Auto Dealers Association. To me, it's pointless though. I think it works well. I think that there would be gotta be more incentive to do it besides making it possible to sell a few cars because there's daylight.

coolness

Holy man, I discovered the coolest website about a month ago.........and I still use it often. It's called www.urbandictionary.com and I think it's great. It has definitions for these word I hear people saying like "fo' shizzle my nizzle" and it has the definitions that people submitted. If you look hard enough, you could my voice on some of the definitions because there's a link to people saying the word. There's lot's of my voice and yes, I was really bored that night I did it and I wasnted to play with the mike I had picked up. I think it is really cool because I would hear this terminology that people would say, and in the context, it would not really make sense, but usually I understood what they were saying or were trying to say.
