It's pathetic how overactive my imagination can get.

Just when you thought your life sucked, you talk to someone who's had it fifty times worst...

Who's then followed by ten people who have it fifty times better.

Cocksuckers.

Risk everything, or gain nothing.

I'm looking for a wife so my mom doesn't have to do my laundry anymore...

Something hilarious happened at work today, and I was going to put it in my blog but I totally forgot what it was.


It was hilarious though, trust me.

Unattainable Dream

You'd think someone could invent a fucking common stapler that doesn't jam up. We put a freakin' man on the moon for fuck's sake.

Thanks...

For a great effort...

For great entertainment...


For a great season.

GO HABS GO!

No Surprise

Sometimes you just can't help but laugh.

I mean, at life in general.

The more "serious" it is, the funnier it is. I'm not talking about the serious shit like murders and war and all that crazy stuff that we are informed of everyday but rarely subjected to. Nah, I'm talking about drama. More specifically, Other People's Drama.

Actually, scratch that, my drama is pretty funny as well.

I think we thrive on drama, maybe need it when our lives are going too well. See, that's the problem with us: we work towards more all the time, so while it's good that we have goals and motivation to carry on, it also means we'll never be happy with what we have. It's like we create our own little roller coasters to provide us with some thrills. I'm not saying there's nothing ever serious in drama, but the majority of the time everyone knows it's just some bullshit that's going to blow over, so it's hard to take any drama seriously.


Maybe I'm just desensitized by TV and video games.

Rules of Life, Part II

Trust I Seek And I Find In You

I had a funny conversation with a girl at work today about relationships and trust.

Basically last night she got home from work and was talking to her boyfriend about something that happened during the day. She accidentally called him by my name instead of his. It's an honest mistake, I mean, we see each other for eight hours a day and the event she was talking about involved something I did. He got jealous and they had a bit of an argument (nothing major but still an argument).

I voiced that it was kind of silly to get into a fight over that and she agreed. So I asked her how she would feel if the roles were reversed; if he had called her by another woman's name.

She immediately admitted she would have been upset as well. I said, "Don't you trust him?" and she went on answering, "Of course I trust him, it's the women around him I don't trust."

This made me laugh; it's obvious that women don't trust men. After all, if your partner was to cheat, it would very much be his or her fault, not the other person involved. The "other" has no loyalty to you at all.

Alright, so we know women don't trust men. Why? Jealousy I'm sure. I understand jealousy; it happens to anyone, whether you have the healthiest relationship in the world. But jealousy and mistrust is something much more personal and has more to do with self confidence and one's self than trusting the other person. It's the fear that someone will replace you and you'll find yourself alone... But yet we take it out on the other person.


The real question isn't do you trust your partner but rather do you feel confident enough in yourself to see that you're the one they want to be with?

You Know I Don't Want The Attention

It's funny how things that used to bother you so much at one time simply don't any longer. Either I'm immune to it due to being subjected to it constantly all the time, or I've simply stopped caring enough to give a shit. I'm just sick of "drama". I'm sick of it at home, at work, online... I don't know, I just don't want to deal with it right now, wether its geared towards me or people just going on about their own drama.

I'm going through a rebirth of such I suppose in my life, with my finances finally taking a turn towards stability and some old ties being severed. The whole process was made a lot easier thanks to the people involved, but it is still something that weights heavily on the mind. I suppose it's a chapter of my life that is closing, but strangely I can't say that I have that noticeable of a "weight" lifted off my shoulders. Maybe it just hasn't sunked in yet, or maybe I'm not letting it sink it. Who knows, and honestly who cares. You often can somewhat guide emotions, but you can't really control them.

It all has to come out sometime.

Flashback

So I browse GameSpot once in a while to check out the new games and read some reviews. I came across an interesting article that just defines how I feel about the NES and my childhood playing it. It was kind of freaky as most of the quirks they talk about I actually did, and their impressions of games, etc just mirrors how I feel.

Anyways, check it out HERE, and make sure you watch the video. It's hilarious if you ever owned a Nintendo.

I Love BloodRayne

Alright so in 2003 this PC game comes out for the GameCube called BloodRayne (later it came out for the PC as well).

The game's about this half vampire, half human super hot chick that bounces around cutting up zombies and Nazis with lots of blood, gore and witty one liners. It's not a game you have to think, it's not even a perticularly hard game... It's just plain ol' bad ass fun. You're slicing up bad guys with those awesome swords, you're a hot chick that's also a vampire, you're shooting zombies in the head and fighting these huge weird ass monsters. Really, after a tough day at work, there's nothing better.

It was love at first sight.


2005 comes around and this time it's called BloodRayne 2. Same thing, better graphics but still the same sexy Rayne. Playboy actually showcases the video game character topless (first time that's happened, if you believe the hype). So far so good... What more can you ask?

So the unexpected happens, and news of a movie comes out. My loveable beautiful vicious BloodRayne would be played on screen by none other than Kristanna Loken, the hot blonde who played in T3. A bunch of other actors are set to have roles: Michelle Rodriguez from SWAT, Ben Kingsley, Michael Madsen... So far, so good... You couldn't really ask for better... Until I saw who was directing: Uwe Boll.

Shit.

So I got a chance to see the movie (even though it never saw a theatre in Canada as far as I know) and I have to say...

It's total crap. What a huge disapointment.

I have probably never seen a worst movie in my life, and Kristanna Loken is actually NAKED in this movie... Yeah I know... Uwe toiletBoll single handedly ruined the movie and a great franchise. Rayne isn't bad ass or witty, the effects are so-so, the story makes no sense... In fact, this site here explains everything that was wrong with the movie perfectly.


I am scarred for life. *sobs*

Thank You Team Canada

The Torino Winter Olympics are done and Canada walks way with 24 medals, a record for our country and a truly kick ass performance. Honestly, the Olympics wouldn't have been as awesome if not for CBC, which allowed me to check the medal count, get the scores and results on their web site and spend hours watching the winter games on TV.

Congratulations to all the athletes who represented Canada in Torino.

Those people who tell you not to take chances
They are all missing on what life is about
You only live once so take hold of the chance
Don't end up like others the same fucking dance

Rules of Life, Part I

There are two kinds of hot women in the world:


#1) The hot woman that knows she's good looking, expects everything to be given to her and uses it to be an unattainable bitch and be extremely condescending to you, but you take it because hey, she's hot right?

#2) The hot woman that pretends she doesn't know she's hot and keeps going on and on denying she's hot when you both know she really is, the whole process making you feel inadequate and dumb.



Please note: If you are hot and I know you, then you fall into rule #3 which is you're hot and you're cool. You're a rare breed and I chose not to talk about it up above with rule #1 and #2 because it's really not as interesting and doesn't fit the overall mood of the Rules of Life.

Gold

Alright, let's get one thing straight: You go to the Olympics to bring back the gold medal for your country.

So when I hear things like the Canadian Women's hockey team is running up the score, it pisses me off:

"I'm upset that Canada has been running up the score, especially against the host nation," United States defenceman Angela Ruggiero told Sports Illustrated's website.

"There was no need for that. They're trying to pad their stats ... Canada is running up the score for whatever reasons – personal, short-term."


That's pure and complete bullshit.


First of all, it would be a greater insult if every team didn't play to their maximum capacity. This is a new sport, and obviously Canada and the USA (I guess) have an advantage. Sure, they trashed Italy 16-0, but even the Italian coach said it had been a learning experience playing against Canada.


Hockey is Canada's sport.


You don't ask the fastest skater to slow down, or the best ice skaters to fall a few times so others can catch up, so how do people come off telling the hockey teams to take it easy? Honestly.


So that being said...

GO CANADA GO!

Cancelled!

I cancelled Valentine's Day. Single-handedly (and no, I don't mean I'm jerking off for V-Day 'cause my girlfriend left me).

I simply don't believe that commercialism should dictate what I do on a certain day (and no it doesn't mean I'll be boycotting Christmas because... Well, it's Christmas) and if it means sleeping on the couch, then so be it, I will sleep on the couch like a man!

Think about it, V-Day is the most retarded thing ever. You're pressured into doing something great for your partner, setting expectation so high that you're doomed to failure from the start. The sappy corny shit only works in movies, if you don't blow her out of the water (and top last year's "event") then it's dog house city for you my friend (and forget about getting laid). V-Day is a magnet for fights too, seems it always happens on that day.

Plus V-Day isn't fair for single people. It's like the whole world has to show you how much of a loser you are because you don't have someone, which is total bullshit.

Fuck Valentine's Day up its stupid ass.

Waiting in line. It's so fucking retarded, especially when you're caught behind some really stupid people. There's just no point.


More people should just stay home.
