A Message From Bruce Allen

Bruce Allen is a prominent broadcaster. He recently made some remarks that caused a considerable uprising among average citizens. Some people fully agreed with him, proud that someone would finally take a stand and say it how it is. Others thought he should be fired immediately. The following is an email I received about the comments.

 'Nobody can go back and start a new beginnning,
 but anyone can start today and make a new ending.'
-Unknown
  Our National Anthem - at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic's 
 Please read and forward to as many people you can think of – thank you 

 WE ARE CANADIANS 
 Bruce Allen is on the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Committee and new Canadians (specifically Hindi's/Indian’s) want him fired for his recent comments outlined below: 

 I am sorry, but after hearing they want to sing the National Anthem in Hindi - enough is enough.

 Nowhere or at no other time in our Nation’s history, did they sing it in Italian, Japanese, Polish, Irish (Celtic), German, Portuguese, Greek, or any other language because of immigration.
 It was written in English, adapted into French, and should be sung word for word the way it was written.
The news broadcasts even gave the Hindi version translation which was not even close to our
National Anthem. 

 I am not sorry if this offends anyone, this is MY COUNTRY - IF IT IS YOUR COUNTRY, SPEAK UP -- please pass this along . 
 I am not against immigration -- just come through like everyone else. Get a sponsor; have a
 place to lay your head; have a job; pay your taxes, live by the rules AND LEARN THE LANGUAGE
 as all other immigrants have in the past -- and LONG LIVE CANADA!' 
It's time we all get behind Bruce Allen, and scrap this Political Correctness crap. His comments were anything but racist, but there are far too many overly sensitive 'New Canadians' that are trying to change everything we hold dear. 

 ARE WE PART OF THE PROBLEM ??? Think about this: If you don't want to forward this for fear
 of offending someone, will we still be the Country of Choice and still be CANADA if we continue

 to make the changes forced on us by the people from other countries who have come to live in
 CANADA because it is the Country of Choice?????? 
 Think about it!
 
 IMMIGRANTS, NOT CANADIAN'S, MUST ADAPT.
 
 It is Time for CANADA to speak up. If you agree ? Pass this along; if you don't agree ? Delete it and reap the ill wind because of your complacency!

Text and Messenger Language

So Omg like I totally may have already blogged about this. But wtf is with ppl txtng with all of this random crap language and stupid emoticon kind of stuff like :P. Really ppl, really? Omg it is fn hard to have a conversation like that. An example of txts A sent me tonight. U watching. Ok, I'll give you that, I am guilty of the 'u' and 'r' txts. She continues with O Lord and :-S. To be followed (note the to be instead of 2 b), 'Seriously? Wat tha fck! El stupido.' and 'Lol! tarded + reatarded! This show's rediculas. Last was :$we'll c... Ok and she has previously sent me messages like ttfn. Which I (in my loving the english language not text speak) had absolutely no idea what it meant until I met her later. Learn how to use proper english, say your words properly (it is here not hur goddammit!) and damn well learn proper grammar!

Fashion or Professionalism 

I am currently enrolled in a crazy amount of school right now. One of the things that all instructors and guest speakers have emphasized is professionalism. Now we all know that sometimes fashion and professionalism do not go together and many times they can't compliment each other brilliantly. 

One of the classes I have to take is Interpersonal Skills (in the business department). Our group had met the instructor last Friday during orientation. She was wearing the same thing (therefore it will be a hobby of mine to notice if she wears the same outfit every Friday). It was a pink blouse (that looked way too big or just not properly tailored in the bodice and tight tight sleeves). She tucked this into high waisted trousers in a grey pinstripe (that didn't match) but it wasn't evenly tucked and the buttons were coming open flashing views of a wrinkled, flabby 60 year old stomach. She polished this off with shoes (on pant leg over the shoe, one pretty much tucked into the shoe) that were chunkier than Doc Martens with a full round toe in a burgundy shade. No smooth leather, some sort of embroidery thingamajig. It was brilliant. Hair was messy and blond, half in her face and frizzy frizzy. Over all a 'professional' look for our business class. 

Multi-Media

Web 2.0. A phrase I heard from Brian Adler yesterday. Brian Adler is a radio graduate who has made a huge name for himself through the internet and his production companies. 

Web 2.0 is not going to go away. It is the new internet revolution of podcasts, blogs, networking and so much more. So while I am attending school for radio, all of these things will be very beneficial. I would love to podcast. Do I know how? Not a clue. Unfortunately not many of our classes focus on the web. Will I find a way? Hells yeah I will.  

A New School Year Approaches

Tomorrow I go back to school. Blah. No money, no time and no sleep. One of the classes that I am supposed to take this semester I took last winter through correspondence. The Associate Dean was the instructor. He did not submit my mark. When I emailed him in June, he said he would get to it in August after his holiday. When I checked on Friday it was still incomplete. Now between this class and another I took in the winter, I would have Monday afternoon's completely free (yay!). So in my panic (of which I've already had several and the semester hasn't even started yet) I emailed him frantically. Yesterday he finally responded giving me my mark and telling me he would sign the forms to opt me out of his class. 

The school allows students to purchase parking for the semester online. So today I decided to make a little bit of this semester slightly easier. Except it took several failed attempts (with no little reminder that it does not accept AMEX, just a transaction failed note) to figure out that I couldn't use Amex. Already off to a good start for the semester. 

Online Fitness
A's mom (we'll call her SI) runs a fitness website. After attending a fundraiser, I decided it was time to check out the website. What I didn't know is that her and a few of her employees regularily post a blog about all of the interesting and fun fitness adventures. Feel free to check out the blog, or get some fitness tips here.

Camping With Daddy.... Good Times or Tragedy?
So this week I have to take to precious days off work to go camping with Daddy. They are precious days because I will not have a job in about three weeks therefore no money. Earlier this summer Daddy bought a camper (ok it's basically just a shell, him and Bro built everything on the inside). He is all excited to go. Me, him and Dog. Shit. Daddy and I are very much alike. Which means when together (especially if just the two of us) things either go amazingly well or blow up on us. No one really ever knows how it will turn out. Of course I'm already predicting the worse. Say hi to copious amounts of liquor, T. It should be a very interesting two days. I'm a little scared.

Continuing the Blah and Bitchy Trend
Ok, so I'm not quite as bitchy as I have been. Thank God for that. Yesterday, just before heading out for lunch with C, I had a whole load of shit dumped on me. So of course my semi-unbitchy mood was ruined.
First call head office (in T.O) to check something for a customer. After spending countless (while also starving due to skipping dinner the night before) minutes on hold listening to an overly cheerful woman tell me "your call is very important to us". Thanks for the effing slap in the face, now pick up the phone! My usual guy doesn't answer, some other d-bag does. So I endure this, find out what I need to know, and go to call my customer back. This particular customer happened to be located in one of those on-the-cusp (re long distance or not?) suburbs. After dialing four times (and many phone slams and curses) I finally get through. Only to be put on hold again. The DB (C and I decided that DB will now stand for Diva Bitch) who doesn't know how to take a proper message takes my message promising that my customer will call back. At this point I am late for lunch with C, and still starving.
I quickly take lunch orders, grab my giant bag (easier to bring everyone's lunch back in) and head out. My cell beeps a new text in. It is from CC (who is notorious for not answering, not responding to texts and then wonders why she hasn't seen people). She sends "So any perticular (sic) reason I have not heard from you in over a week." Omg, so not in the mood to deal with her DBness right now. Also very bitchy so I figured I would call her after lunch when I could hopefully discuss this text calmly. First thought (as always when I get this type of text from her) is it works both ways sweetie, you can pick up the phone just as easily as I can. Then I did a quick run down of my week in my head. Realized that the last time I spoke to CC (granted it was through texting) was Monday, and prior to that (although I was still texting her) I was not in the bloody country. Called her multiple times throughout the day. She didn't answer which only succeeded in pissing me off more. She finally texts me about how crazy work was and yadda yadda. C'est La Vie. Time to go call her. Wish me luck!

So Blah and Bitchy
I am feeling so blah and bitchy (if you didn't figure that out from the title). I went camping with C and R last weekend. The people behind us seemed to love 5:30 am, every morning. So I have not slept later than 6:30 since I don't even know. I set my alarm for work Monday morning and was so tired that I didn't turn it on. Oops.
Since it has been cold and raining here, I figured that after work today I had three options. My requirement was to be a no human contact night. Hard to do when you live with three other people and bro's gf who is at the house quite a bit. Blissfully no one was home when I got here. Since we don't have a pool or a hot tub (and no human contact was a requirement) I scratched my first two options. The third was a plain straight up bath. Upstairs I go. I run the bath, throw some peppermint oil and lavender bubble bath in, and go put on my Duffy cd and grab a book. All good things. I climb into the bath and immediately feel immensely relieved and relaxed. That feeling lasted five minutes when I realized that the tub was really not filling up too well. Turns out that the drain doesn't actually plug. So there went that idea.
Every couple of months I have an exceptionally bitchy time. Normally I keep my snide comments to myself (or post them) and turn on my iPod to keep myself from speaking. Today I succeeded in doing one of the most bitchy things to A that I have ever done. Without speaking. She has a habit (while at work) of putting people on hold (after one ring) when I am about to answer the phone. So she does close to the same thing today and instead of me calmly waiting for her to put the phone down, I reach up and grab it right off of her hear and start talking to the customer. If looks could kill, I'm certain A would have fried me on the spot.
Highlights of the day were the long flirting texts with N and J. N's was the best. I now have him picturing me in some interesting outfits. Which he will of course pick out since he his spending his long weekend Sunday taking A, Chi, and I (all dressed in our little skirts) to Dennys (classy like) for breakfast and then shopping. Poor N, he'll be ready to kill us by the end of the day. If only the bitchiness would die before then.

Men: Can't Live With Em, Can't Live Without Em!
So myself and a couple of my sisters have recently had some men troubles. A probably (ok definitely) had more than Chi or I have. Mine is the classic example of guys not doing anything. I flat out say "I'm single, let's go out." during a conversation. We flirt constantly, he was going to ask for my number but I wasn't there. So I asked for his phone and put my number in it. This is all far more forward than I normally am (see Old Fashioned Quirks). He still has not called or done anything (besides saying that we should go out and several hours worth of flirting). It is at the point where even my boss said today "Fuck, just go jump him in the parking lot. I'm Goddamn sick of watching you two dance around each other." He asks if I have plans for tonight I say no and move closer. Nothing is happening! Grrrr. Driving me nuts! How much more obvious could I be? Any tips?
When I told Chi all of this earlier tonight, she asked when I began dating her boyfriend. This was the main reason for their "break" last week. He had a five day long business trip so she asked if he would call her. His words, "Well that's pretty expensive." And of course that took him about five minutes to get out. Ok, AH, let me give you some advice. When your gf asks if you are going to call her, "that's expensive." is pretty much the worst possible thing you could have said. Even a simple "no" would be slightly more advisable. My whole point with this is that he should know her well enough to know that his response would really hurt her. Chi is the girl who wants her bf to call her when he goes away, wants the romance. S and I decided that we would be like, yeah that's true, text me then. But that's us, we aren't really as, uh, (sorry Chi) clingy as Chi is. A but c'est la vie. They are together and apartment hunting yet again.
Now A and N. That was the biggest relationship issue this week. A and N have been together for nearly ten years (high school sweethearts) and have been living together for about four or five years. They had decided to get married this year. When N got a new car (and a couple other toys) and A had no ring or anything else she became doubtful of the relationship. On top of that she felt as though she had lost that connection with N. So she did a lot of stupid things (sorry A, I understand why you didn't tell me all of this to begin with). Like using a guy at work to make N jealous. She put two of their condoms in her purse when she was supposed to go out with dude from work. So Monday they talk, they both cry, she feels better, he is physically sick. Tuesday she tells him about her attempts of jealousy. He accepts this, tells her that he knew, that's why he didn't do anything about it. And then N dropped the bomb that he was going to buy her a ring and had even talked to his mom about it a couple days before. Wednesday N tells her that they are ok, but that there is one piece of the puzzle missing. Ah the condoms. So A freaks, drags them out of her purse and shows him that both are still there and that she would never consider cheating, she forgot, and didn't think he noticed.
So everything is back as it should be. If only W and I could get on track here.

Old Fashioned Quirks
I have a number of what most of my friends and family calls my old fashion quirks. My cell phone is a phone/address book. Therefore a carry a beautiful pale green leather notebook and a pen in my purse. I don't use any computer systems for an actual address book. I have one. I purchased it about two years ago. It is grey and full of beautiful black and white photos of Paris. I actually print off documents and have two major filing systems (and 3 large filing containers) throughout my office. I still love my VCR (who needs TIVO?). I still have (and have printed) photographs around my house (including several scrapbooks and go old fashioned photo albums). I still have my old 35mm SLR camera. I love film. I still have (and use regularly) my CD player (in the bedroom, living room, car and pretty much everywhere). On that note I love Cd's. I still make them (using iTunes), and buy the actual disc from stores such as HMV. I prefer reading the newspaper (shock actual paper) every morning compared to scanning news websites. I can't stand audio books. Come on people pick up a book and read it, chances are (if it's a good story) you will love it! Even when books become scanning a computer screen I will still have, own, and purchase books (even hardcover). What OFQ's do you have?

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to all. Thankfully, I am no longer sick and can enjoy the little bit of time I have with my father today. He has to work later this afternoon so we are having our little celebratory lunch in a little bit. My father has been one of the greatest joys and fustrations of my life (don't worry, he would say the very same about me). We are too much alike for our own goods. So essentially when we get along we get along amazingly. When we don't, well lets just say the neighbourhood knows and it's not pretty.

Another Epic Weekend... Country Club Brunch, Castle Fun Park, Sex and the City, and one Very Clean Kitchen!

Another weekend of epic proportions! Saturday saw an extremely sick A, so I volunteered to go to work for her. When I showed up, A, our boss, and a picker were there. Since Saturday's are typically dead, I headed home. When Ma got home (we had previously planned to go to some farm markets) we decided to go grocery shopping (oh thank you! finally). After putting away the groceries some form of a bug must of hit me because I emptied, tossed and scrubbed the fridge, freezer, and all cupboards that contain any form of food.

After this (and of course the dinner that I made and cleaned up) I headed up to AS's for the Nine Inch Nails experience. CC, Miss M, and I made (and drank) several daiquiris, pasta, and chocolate cake. AS and D showed up followed by EZ, Chi, and Chi's bf, AH. Just the cooking and baking alone was an experience in a beautiful but useless (no utensils, mixing bowl, non stick spray etc... all kitchen essentials according to me) kitchen. After one exceptionally embarrassing call (my ex-bosses fiance looking for some hookah supplies... in my defence (yes I know it is not a good defence) people should all have different names!), we headed down to the steam room. After a little bit, AS piped in the Ghosts cd. Ok, ridiculously trippy... I seriously thought I was trapezing through a jungle. Throw in some steam and several people in a small room without being able to see... OMG! Hands just come at you, all you can hear is people tripping over the music and no one really knew where they were. So freaking intense!

Cue Sunday morning/ afternoon. Off to brunch at the country club. I wish I could go by this pic and say that S was playing the piano (she can actually play and did volunteer but all I really wanted was the pic). Brunch was amazing! But then I always love it. Crepes, bacon, french toast, waffles, and of course all the lunch objects. I really always stick to the breakfast foods because how often do we have breakfast foods out? And I love breakfast!

Apres brunch, Castle Fun Park! Go Karting, arcade games, mini golf, batting cages and so much more. And oh so many kids on a Sunday! And not in a good way. Hangover headache, pre bitchiness and loud, screaming children. Oh dear God! Why why why? Ok it wasn't too bad. But thank, thank, thankfully, I had to leave to pick up Ma! Ok a 45 minute drive to get Ma but I got to leave.

By 7:00, Ma, Aunt K and I are set with our seats to see Sex and the City. I haven't eaten since about 1:30 and I am dying (it's a 2.5 hour long movie people!). Great movie. Bad lines. Who would have thought a theatre would be so so busy on a Sunday night. It was. And I nearly punched two girls standing behind me in the uber slow concession line. Apparently theatres don't believe in opening actually food stands on Sundays. Loud, rude, obnoxious, and constantly moving which inevitably lead to stepping on me, shoves and the guy in front of me (whose back I was nearly on top of thanks to these two) about ready to kill them. It was a good night though.

I had to include this because when Chi passed me on the freeway she claims I look like a diva driving with my glasses on. Granted it was cloudy. But clouds are bright when you have a brutal headache that you believe may seem like the start of a migraine. Diva like? Yes or no?

Single? Keep Reading. In a Relationship? Keep Reading
Why is it that friend's who are in a relationship continually feel the need to set up their single friends? A, CC, and Chi constantly try to match make. A has even taken it to the point that she tries to set people up with Chi because she doesn't like Chi's bf. She is also trying to set up a guy that we work with. Thank God that means she had diverted her attention from me for the time being. I just don't get why people (particularly women) who are in relationships continually have to set up their single friends. My mom even tried to get Bro to set me up with one of his friend's brothers at dinner the other night. I have been through many set ups (as you can tell none had stellar results). People give up. And please, please stop giving me the excuse "well I just want you to be as happy as bf and I." Well I would be a hell of a lot happier if you all would just back the eff off. When I find someone I find someone, until then (unless I say otherwise) just assume that I (and all other singletons out there) are perfectly happy on our own.

Girl's Night Out

Saturday night, A, CC and I headed out for a girls night. After A met Ma and I at the restaurant we headed back to my place because I still needed to get ready. Because we had some time before CC got there, A and I headed downstairs for some (always good times) Rockband with Bro and his friends. Bro lost the mic somewhere

but that didn't deter us. PR and I were playing guitar and belting out songs. A was right beside be belting (kind of strange for her she's not big on the singing in front of people thing). When CC got there we headed down to Hennessey for some excellent martinis and tapas. Of course after the tapas I had to have my lemon tart (mmmm). By the time the third round came, AC (a guy A and I work with) and a couple of his friend's showed up. His one friend got in an argument with CC that Miranda is the cougar in Sex in the City when we all know Samantha is the cougar. Then he some how thought (and ran with this) that I write for a local newspaper. Love to but no. As much as I do love the paper he thought I wrote for, if I was going to write for a newspaper it would be a better paper. Because I drove, I switched to water part way through. So when I got home I headed back down to Bro and his friend's and continued to build on the buzz. Good night all in all.
