The Ripperz!!!   Great local talent...if you like the rockabilly.... Lyrics... C'mon, baby, let's go out walking, I got a new pair of shoes, a new way of talking, don't you go falling in love with me tonight. C'mon, baby, let's go out driving. I got a new set of wheels, I'm doing more than surviving. Love is a danger, don't you go falling tonight. I know you, I know you can't help yourself. I know you can't help yourself at all. You're gonna fall, you're gonna fall aren't you? C'mon, baby, let's go out dancing. I can't find my feet, baby, but I'll take my chances. You're gonna fall in love with me tonight....

 I think it's time to finally decide to take action and see if I can ever really call myself some kind of writer... Anyone feel like pestering me till I get it done? - Questions And Doubts, By Ryan

This could be how it goes.... So I went on an online dating site recently... yeah... one of THOSE assholes....and I'm reading all these profiles and they all say the same fuckin thing "I want a nice guy who is stable and funny and loooooves to laugh"   They all seem to say this, and you know, Im not some ultra hunk, and Im totally cool with that, cuz really, who needs THAT stigma.... or as I like to call it, the Fabio-ism.   Anyway, These profiles all say the same things right?  I love to laugh, I love music, I love summer and patios and getting my hair did or some other shit....but they also say "I'm tired of the bar scene, so I thought I'd try this out" ... That...is HORSESHIT!   It's the exact.same.thing!!   See, these girls all SAY they want a nice and stable guy, but these are the same classy dames who end up gettin shagged in the backseat by Fabio and his ugly younger brother who cant get laid without him...   So I'm on t...

A friend of mine recommended Mumford and Sons, and so far so good!  It brings me back to my time living in Cape Breton where everything is about as celtic/Irish/Scottish as you can find in Canada...  Nevermind back then it was all about Ashley MacIsaac and Sarah Mclaughlan.... not that there's anything wroooong with that, but really...back in '94 there were bigger fish to fry, like Counting Crows, and Kurt Cobain's suicide, and Disarm by Smashing Pumpkins... and Loser by Beck, which still stands as one of the catchiest yet hated song in my vast musical knowledge...any song that simply strings together random words into a song is a terrible idea for someone who sees songs as stories to be told and unfolded like a gift at Christmas.   No..throw in some random verbs and nouns and  just go ahead and make it stupidly catchy... damn you for being so easy to remember.   Rant Off.   The Cape.  I do b'lieve I will try and make a trip out there to visit ...

...you may ask... Or if you want to be shitty, maybe you aren't asking... shit heads.   You know  I'm going to tell you, and moreover...I have a visual aid! I take no credit whatsoever for the Youtube video, although I wish I could because it's straight up genius.  Yes... Genius.    I will post my Facebook chat that is underneath this shared video on my wall, for you, the unenlightened, few who did not already read it there or simply do not subscribe to this social networking 'fad'. Hah.  That would be about 7 people. In North America.   Ok anyway, on with the production! Ok, now take a moment to collect yourself from that hilarity. Here are the comments/responses.... MT - The mother fucker eats COBRAS!!! Gets bit, passes out, wakes up and EATS MORE FUCKING COBRAS!! 5 hours ago   RM - the Honey Badger is my new favorite animal lol 2 hours ago MT - Why wasn't there a GI Joe code named "Honey Badger"? EATS COBRAS!! 2 hours ago Me - Hon...

I can think of no better way to recover from a hangover, than to do your taxes.   It's one of those days

I truly, deeply, and sincerely thank the Big Guy for having the wisdom to inject some guy with the notion to invent a Codpiece/jock/cup.   Teaching some new guys the absolute basics of kicking in martial arts...and using a dummy (Myself) for them to kick. I had all my fighting gear, figured it would be good for them to hit something solid... probably should have thought that one out a bit more.  I guess it is starting to show that I have been away from the sport for awhile.   Most people naturally aren't very flexible when they start any sport, never mind Tae Kwon Do, which relies heavily on leg flexibility and it's all about the kicks.   Usually folks will drop their knee and swing their leg low, connecting with a shin, thigh, or...heaven forbid, the holy land.   I took seven groin kicks last night, and I tell you, my cup got used! Even with it, you still feel it all...and it's not terribly pleasant. It IS terribly uncomfortable.   Anyway, we got th...

Some people have the rare blessing of having many close and reliable friends.  Some people have none of that, and on the contrary, their friends can be their worst enemies...   I like to think that I fell somewhere in the middle of the two extremes. I was lucky enough to be given my best friend in the world when I was Four years old.  We have been and stayed friends ever since those early years, and across so many miles and life events that could and would have shattered less meaningful friendships.  I truly have been blessed with a very few close and reliable people that I know will tell it like it is, even if that means calling me an ass or that Im simply in the wrong.  A true and real friend doesn't simply commiserate with you over a break up or decision, but will tell you, with love, that you botched something...if you did.  I trust implicitly my friends' wisdom and insight as they have proven so many times in the past, that they know me well enough an...

Winnipeg Jets Meter!!! Ok, now since the Jets left Winnipeg back in 94, there has always been a deep and quiet sense of hope that maybe...juuuust maybe, the Jets may return..and on building the MTS Centre, which has done amazingly well with bookings for bands, shows, and basically keeping the revenue stream alive (Hell, I won a Gold and Silver Medal in that very place), the addition of a massive, popular, and well known franchise like the Phoenix Coyotes, formerly the Winnipeg Jets, possibly making us their home again..well all the moving parts seem to be meshing well.  Slowly... but well.  The Arena upgrade was a big one, as well as the Salary Cap across teh NHL in general, and I think Winnipeggers just needed to lose something to know that we really wanted it back.   Keep a weather eye open for the Jets-O-Meter! I think it may spike way up there in a few weeks time.  Now listen, since the Jets left, I have gone to a few Moose games, and its a good time, fun...
