A unusual story

So anyway's, I was doing some wandering around on the fine web when I came across this story. So, I just wonder how she came into this situation. Sometimes, I really don't want to know

Things are going my way

Boy, upgrading to to Windows Media Player 11 is finally paying off more and more. I can finally hook er up to Last Fm now. Wow. I have tunes that play in either Itunes or Window Media Player. Now I can put in for both. Now nobody will think I have disapeared anymore

Warning, Self Rant

Woo. my previous video ended up with someones video collection of the city
Cool

I am still going

Hello everybody. Long time no see right. Anyway's, I am still going. I just haven't been able to blog lately. Wow, they even have upgraded these things. Anyway's, I have been busy doing a practicum through school, with Christmas, a bday and just real life. Anyway's, we just had a storm pass through the province. I got pictures of the aftermath.

Still Loving It

As mentioned before, I still love that song by the Benassi Brothers, Feel Alive. Man I just can't get enough...Never gets tired

Life and Videos

Hey everybody. How goes it? Sorry I haven't been blogging for a while. Just been too busy and all the time, not much to say. I go on practicum next week, that will keep out of trouble for about a month.
So anyways, lately I have been checking out Youtube. I really think this is a great website. I am sure it has it's detractors, but that's goes with everything that people do. I find it really is interesting to see people and what they do in other parts of the country. I figured I would try out the video in a blog too For some strange reason, I can't for the life of me get this video out of my mind. There is no reason I can figure out why I alway's think about it. It's got two things I enjoy though, motorcycles and cars.Here it is

Totally Funny

I was watching Youtube and thought this was hilarious.

Updated

So....Okay...What's going down Man

So, anyway's, I have a question for everyone. What is the deal with Inktomisearch.com. Man I got about 20 hits from them on my meter. What's the deal?
I emphasis ?. I don't mind, but what the heck, why so many hits etc. I know it is a spider etc. I got that concept. Maybe it's just me. I don't update that often. Man, I have been in a whiny mood lately

It Only A Matter Of Time

Well, I finally decide to do something about it. I really wanted to find out if the United States had a equivalent of Cdn Money Tracker. Well, it's been in the back of my mind to check it out when I have a few minutes to investigate. Well I found it at www.wheresgeorge.com . Good Old George, where is he nowadays. Well, I am suitably impressed, though their recommendations sucks, they should go to www.cdn-money.com a.k.a. the better half. I get a kick to see what happens to money that gets through my meat hooks. Bye for now

Well, I sorta figured it out!

So anyway's, I decided to try out that Last Fm to see what it's like etc...just because I could. I finally found a spot to put it, at the bottom of the page. I figured I could use it to let people know what I'm listening too and just to see what I am listening too (it's not I like I couldn't tell with the numbers for the itunes play count) But I wanted to try to use it for the windows media player. Which I can't figure out to get it to pick up too. I find that I use both a fair amount. Both have some of the same features that I enjoy, Itunes is a lot going for it because it is less of a hassle sometimes to use. My cataloge is in one sheet on itunes, whereas in my music, I have to sort through the different catergories I put music into,(self induced I must admit) But the pain in the keister factor comes into play when I think I should put in most of the music into Itunes, except of course the bought music,(puretracks of course)
But enough of my ramblings now

Shave And A Hair Cut..... Two Bits

Well, I finally found out that the music notes I would hear ocasionally actually has a name. Wow, I must lead a sheltered life or something, I never knew that, it actually has some history too

Cool Stuff

Boy this is interesting reading. I like reading about norhern communities. Giving the stories of company towns etc is just another perspective. See it here. I find it so interesting to see how people live and what they do. Actually, I feel the internet is a wonderful resource to find out information and communicate with people that I would never know about. Three cheers for the net!!

Pathetic

Man, I can't believe this. People are actually sticking up for the guy. Which leads me to a serious question, which ones are the monsters. Man, that is stupid. I just wonder why people do this, His guilty verdict has been proven beyond a reasonable doubt several miles back, along with his pyschoness(is this a real word, who cares). Why bother, get rid of him

Princess Diana

I am not sure why, but I was thinking of Princess Diana today. Then I came to the realization that she died roughly this time of year. Sure enough, August 31 1997 was the date of that fatal car crash that was caused by the worlds appetite for celeberty news. I will alway's remember that day. I was at my parents cabin for the weekend. Now, there was no t.v., just a radio. So anyway's I alway's remember the time I heard of her death on the radio news. I was sitting at the dining room table doing some work when I heard of it. I guess I could make the analgy between JFK and Princess Diana for the feelings I got next. I felt a profound sense of loss. This was a great person that went beyond the call of duty for charity and also for the her contributions to the A.I.D.S and the cure as well as getting rid of Landmines. I still feel that the Royal Family put together can only match what she did for the people and the image of the Royal Family. The Royal Family still do incredible amount of work, but Diana was the type of people that was truly a good person and it showed and she did a lot for the World. It is so awful that she had to go that way. And the madness hasn't stop

I am still missing her.

Faster, Better, Stronger

So anyway's, I finally decided to spring for faster internet service and Max service from Sasktel. boy, it makes quite the difference a few kbps (650 compared to roughly 1500) can make. Having more channels on tv makes a differnce too. I don't watch too mech though, but anything is better than having one fuzzy channel and another that you can pick up intermittently. Anyway's, I wish I could have did it myself, but the Sasktel people had to install some filters and hardwire etc. I got to help which was nice and to move things along a little quicker. I got a new unit for the alway's on connection. It looks so Star Trek. There are some pics on my flickr account (man I love digital cameras)

So anyway's, there alway's seem to be group of people that seem to depreciate the value of Saskatchewan's crown corporation situation. For those unfamilier with what I am talking about, I'll explain. Saskatchewan has several crown corporations. Saskenergy (natural gas) Saskpower (power) Sasktel (phone), Saskwater (water) and Saskatchewan Government Insurance, (auto and home insurance as well auto licensing and registration) Every once in a while, in the news, I hear some talk of some people that are stirring the pot and wanting these organizations privatized. There might be some justifications for this school of thought. I'll agree with the fact it provides some unfairness to private industry such as having the monopoly in the Saskatchewan market. The only one that has to compete is Sasktel, what with Shaw cable and net as well as private company's in the phone business
I feel that having these crown corporations is an asset to the province of Saskatchwan. Hey, they are working for us, financially and also with the various work that they do. I have alway's had great experiences with most of the corporations that I had to do. It's alway's super fast and professional. The people that work for them are really super great to deal with. The installer that did the installation was pleasant to deal with and even though he had a lot of problems, he gavce great explainations as to what was happening and to also how the system worked. Even though it was a day late in coming, he went out of his way to make sure I had everything working. But on the flipside though, I have heard horror stories about how long it takes things to get done. There are also people that probaly represent the .01% of the people who seem to have trouble with these groups. I don't understand this, just pay your bills on time, stop trying to milk the system erc
There is also the financial aspect of the deal too. The rates are competative as well as a lot cheaper that of other provinces. With Saskatchewan Government Insurance (Sgi), the rates are cheaper as compared to other areas such as Alberta (hey, I know a few people that moved out there)
Well, there you have it, my thoughts of the day, I am glad you made it this far.

Captain Tractor, The Last Saskatchewan Pirate

So anyway's, I was going through my old songs I have on my P.C. Man, I hadn't heard this song in a while. Man, this is a classic in my books, every one of my friends loved it, everybody in the bars loved it, judging by the people who'd get on the dance floor. Actually, one of my friends and people I know alway's said that the Saskatchewan people working in Alberta would alway's go crazy on the dancefloor in the bars in Alberta. I guess that is how they tell the Saskatchewan people in Alberta apart from everybody else.... That along with the fact we are probaly the only ones who drink Pilsner Beer. I just love the Saskatchewan references and it's so funny to me Here's to a good, funny song by Captain Tractor.

Peter Jenkins

Well, here is another post. I recently discovered that the author of a couple of my favorite books is still going. I really enjoyed reading two of his first books, A Journey Across America and The Walk West. Even though I am Canadian, I thought they gave a good picture of life in America. I first discovered Mr Jenkins when I read his article in the August 1979 issue of the National Geograhic. I then proceeded to sit down and read the books and enjoyed every minute of it. I think it is a must read

This is sooooo cool

As mentioned before, the folks are building a new house on their acreage. They decided to use building blocks for the walls as the cement forms. This is sooooo cool.... Its just like playing with Lego. Check it out here

Debbie Travis Part 3

My congratulations to Ryan Anderson, winner of the 250 g's on From The Ground Up. I know I was originally cheering for different people, but he is one of the people who need the oportunity to get ahead too. Let's here it for Ryan....

In case you are wondering.....

Yeah, I have been doing some riding lately. Here is a pic I found off the net of the bike. I wish I had an actual pic of the bike with me on it, but I don't know anybody that has a digital camera and I hate how scanned pics look. I ride on a 1983 Yamaha 650 Heritage Special. This is a picture of a 84 model, but it looks the same as the 83 model. I am sure I be told in no uncertain terms what the differences are between the two years are by enthusiates, but hey, they look the same to me. I am surprised there aren't more pictures around
on the net
