I have come to a conclusion about day time TV, it sucks! Since I have been off work I have channel surfed in the day time too see if there is anything on and it has been in vain. Then again the night time schedule is not the best either mind you but at least there is something on discovery that I can watch. For example most of the morning is being taken up by talk shows all copying off each other, and let’s face it Jerry Springer is just the same old shit different pile.

One show I cannot understand is the Trading Spaces that comes on TLC what is up with that show I wonder? If somebody decorated my rooms like they do I would be screaming bloody murder. Here is my synopsis on the whole deal. They are artsy fartsy types that are insecure with their homosexuality so they feel the need to paint and decorate room in the gaudiest colours known to man. Then the owners put on a brave face and pretend too like it while the cameras are rolling, and if they do like it they must be as pretentious as the Trading Spaces team.

Anyway that is my little rant for today, except I notice that a lot of people who have blogs have given up on updating them at all very curious the novelty must have worn off I guess. Anyway got too go talk to you all later have a good one everybody.

Nothing new going on in my world, I am off all this week and find myself bored. The apartment is very clean and seeing how it is a nice day again today I will go for another walk. Other than that my life is drab and boring, I expect it will soon be filled with unemployment and stress how ever. Well at least the weather is starting to warm up so I can actually go outside during the day time which is nice considering it felt like it was fall weather last week.

Is it me or is there an awful lot of reality shows appearing this season? I think they are going to kill the sitcom. While some of the shows are good most suck and are just cloning themselves for a grab and the rating brass ring, which is lame in my mind but hey what do I know? I cannot stand American Idol for example but obviously a lot of people like it. I did watch the first shows of two new series, The Casino, and the Next Action Star or hero or something like that.

The Casino I think is mildly interesting because the two guys who have just bought the casino have no earthy idea about owning one in the first place. But I think they will make a go of it but it should prove to be entertaining all the same. Like the high roller they showed that picked up a girl down on the gambling floor and bought her to his suite only too find it was a guy, very funny indeed. Anyway I got too go and finish doing some house work so I can go for a stroll have a good one everybody talk to you all later.

Well today is Friday in the grand scheme of things, not that it really matters in my world. I had to attend training yesterday so now I am off until the 21st which is going to be very boring let me tell you. Before I started working at my present job I was Mr. Mom and now it seems I might have to slip back into the role. The problem being that it only takes a good solid hour to clean our apartment then there is really no other house work to do. There is only so much surfing the internet you can do as well, I like to read though so maybe I will start re-reading some of my books I guess. Now that the weather is finally starting to warm up I can go for walks down around the park to get rid of some of this winter fat I have.

I was looking at the Wired News web site as I am apt to do while drinking my morning coffee and I spotted this head line

Dogs Understand Human Language


Well no shit anybody who has a dog can tell you that. Although I must admit border collies are damn smart indeed. I used to have a one and they are definitely more intelligent that some human beings I have met. Although it is amazing as smart as they are, they still fall for the fake throw every time.

I am just betting in the not too distant future a re-location will be in order. Why do I bet this? Because if things don’t work out at the present company I work for the chances of me getting a job around here are not too good at all. I figure we may have to move too Alberta again maybe at least there I work there. Anyway I go too go and find something to do, talk to you all later have a good one everybody!

Well I am seriously pondering the thought of giving up on playing pc games and sticking to consoles only. Every time I buy a new Pc Gamer magazine and I see the minimal system requirements to play a new game I just wince. Is there a need to go out and buy a gig of ram to play a game, or is there a need to go out and drop $500 for a new video card to play all the latest and greatest games? Fuck that I am sick of it, besides it is not like they are just giving the games away they cost a fortune to begin with anyway.

Now let’s have a look and the Xbox or Play station 2, you drop $200 give or take for each system and there you go now you just have to buy some games. Yes they are expensive games as well but you could possibly down load play station games use a slide card to play burnt games on your machine for the price of buying a spindle of blank DVDs for example. While pc games are usually more open ended and tighter controls I think I am going to give up on them all the same. I mean seriously I am not living the lifestyles of the rich and famous that I can afford all new computer equipment. Anyway I got too go talk to you all later have a good one everybody.

Well I am trying out a new program here while I am writing this. In was listed in maximum pc magazine in a head to head comparison with Micro$oft office, it is a free program called open office. You can check it out at the link below.

Open Office


The program was developed by Sun Microsystems, mind you it does not have all the bells and whistles as office does but hey it is free right? That is mighty appealing when considering that office professional is around $500 or so.

Besides that everything is well in my world except I have to do some training at work which is a bit pointless in my mind but you have to play the game it seems. I just wondered who the hell pick seven o’clock in the morning as the start time. Man it sucks getting up at o’dark thirty and stumbling into work and trying to stay awake and look slightly interested in the person babbling mindlessly in the front of the class room. Other than that all is well anyway got too go talk to you all later have a good one everybody!

Points to ponder: anybody else out there think that Conan O’Brian is an annoying motherfucker with a fat head?

Points to ponder: The old guy from the six flags commercials is just plain fucking creepy!
