I saw a headline today online that brought to mind a blog that I meant to do months ago and did not because I was finding myself distracted by life in general. So I am going to write it here and now. Perez Hilton was in court for something according to this headline, for what I really do not know or care really. The point that I was thinking about from before was that during the Mrs America pagent he asked a loaded question to Mrs California about gay marrage. When Mrs C answered according to her religious belifes he went out on a pissy pants rant about how bad a person she is. Give me a break. First off, Parez Hilton is nothing more tehn a two bit blogger hack who just happened to get noticed and became one of those people who are famous for being famous. The fact that he is gay has no bearing on my opinion in this matter whatsoever. I do not care to be quiet honest. Your gay. Good for you. The question of gay marrage itself is pissing me off and tearfull interviews with ...

Alright so this might end up sounding like a commercial of sorts and maybe it is but it is something I believe in. The best new show on TV right now is called Glee and it airs on Fox on Wensdays. Why do I think this? Well let me explain myself. In recent years the TV landscape has been over run with reality TV. So much so that there have been fewer good quality shows being aired by any network. This trend towards reality TV is part of the reason that the world is being dumbed down. Instant wealth and fame can be yours if your willing to go on telivision and be an ass in front of the cameras. I think that the ultimate proof of this is the parents of the so called Balloon Boy who were trying to get their own reality show. In doing so they wasted valuable resources and time as rescue units and TV cameras chased the giant Jiffy Pop container. Being on the fire department here makes that hit a little closer to home. I know what it is like to be out on a wild goose chase. Very ...

So Sarah Palin wont go away. ~~sigh~~ Come on, you freaking LOST! Then on top of that you QUIT your regular job early. Does she really matter anymore? Anyways, the point of this particular blog is the recent cover of Newsweek that fetures Palin on the cover. Palin is wearing some short shorts a pair of sneakers and is looking ( oh boy) kinda hot. The headline next to the picture is " What to do about Sarah " or somethign similer. Whatever. The problem coming out of this is that this photo is being called sexist by her supporters and that Newsweek should be ashamed. Unbelieveably, I sort of agree. This particualr picture of Palin was originaly taken for a photo spread in Runners World. It is a good picture for that type of artical and is well done. However with the headline the magazine has given it is out of context and looks bad. Newsweek should do the honourable thing and apoligize and disclipin the person responsible. Will it happen? Seriously ...

My mom called me a few days ago and told me that the lady who was the libraryian when I was in elementary school was in the hospital. Mom suggested to me that I should go see her and have a chat with her because it would probably cheer her up a bit. Damn good idea I thought. So a couple of days went by and mom asked me again if I had gone to see her. Nope. Been kinda busy but I would make the time to go before my meeting that night. So that night I went in to see her and she was laying in her hospital bed somewhat frustrated by the fact that she was having a hard time getting around. This is a lady who was fairly active her whole life and she did not like being on her back. " What can I do? " she asked with a chuckle with her slight German accent that never really went away despite being in Canada for a very long time. She was actually very happy that she was able to get up and go to the bathroom on her own with a walker because it was the start of being able to ...

It is with great pleasure that I am here before you to congradulate the class of 2009 on behalf of the town of High Prairie, Mayor Rick Dumount and the rest of town council. When I was asked to make this speech I knew that I had to have this picture you see on screen here as part of it. Of course as I thought about it I realized that most of this class might not have any idea as to who Calvin and Hobbes are, so please bare with me a moment. The Calvin and Hobbes comic strip depicted the adventures of a six year old boy and his stuffed tiger Hobbes. Of course to Calvin, Hobbes was a living breathing tiger with whom he had many debates and adventures. To everyone else Hobbes was simply Calvin's stuffed tiger. No one else could see Hobbes as Calvin could, and as such missed out on a great deal. When the strip ended in 1995 the last thing Calvin says is " It's a magical world Hobbes ol' buddy.... Let's go exploring." With those words the two friends walked away through the ...
