Well I'm Running Down The Road Trying To Loosen My Load.

Don't worry I haven't forgotten that this blog exists I have just been very busy doing other things like cleaning my house finding a birthday present for my mother and submitting posts for SYP's Blog AKA the blog that has gotten more hits in one week than I have in 3 months. I suggest you check it out since I'm just one of many people with the privilege of contributing to it. Seriously if you haven't already read all the posts over there go now read them comment on them tell your friends about them then come back here I'll wait... Take your time no hurry... O.K. come back here now.

I recently made an interesting little discovery that I think is kind of significant. When you were in High school you were always told that all the stupid little problems you deal with on a day to day basis would disappear. You wouldn't have to worry about grades or who to take the dance next Friday or other trivial things like that. Unfortunately whoever told you such things was either misinformed or decide to lie to you just a bit. You see these problems don't disappear in fact they grow and evolve into things that aren't trivial. You go into University and grades matter even more and then you get a job and grades change into Job performance and now you no longer get a mark after every test. You may think your an A+ employee when in reality your one task away from unemployment. Finding a date for the dance more or less stays the same eventually becoming who should you marry. If you thought that after leaving high school you wouldn't have to worry about what clothes you wore and things of nature you were wrong again. The way you dress can decide whether or not  you get a job or promotion and then if you get to keep it or not. Plus once your done high school you get the joy of paying rent and buying your own food and creating a budget so that you don't have to resort to selling your kidneys on the black market in order to buy a bagel. I could go but I think you get the point.

Of course some things get much better once your out of high school. You no longer have a curfew your legal drinking age and can vote. You can more or less do as you wish without getting grounded and you have a greater choice in the people you associate with and you can also ditch some of the people you used to know who quite frankly you only tolerated because you had to spend 3 hours sitting beside them every single day. If your at a job or don't think your getting paid enough you can quit or get a raise. (Try telling a teacher or professor that if they don't bump you up to a B+ your dropping the class let me know how that turns out for you)

But back to the main point the problems you face now won't go away however if your smart you will deal with them now so they aren't as big of an issue down the road. Remember if you don't learn from your mistakes your bound to repeat them and I doubt you want to do that. Unless of course their awesome mistakes that make great stories like the time you woke up and didn't know what city your in. If you make those kind of mistakes don't bother learning.

Also it's Spring suck it snowmen!

Where Am I Going? Wouldn't You Love To Know.

I like Mondays. Most people don't but for me Monday is my Saturday, this is due to the fact that I work evenings and weekends. Most people don't like it but the way my shifts work out I can still do things after work on Friday and Saturday and sleep it off Sunday afternoons then I have two days where I can more or less do what I want. I can go home to P.A. like I did yesterday or I can stick around Yorkton and do... well I could do nothing but that's not the point. There is only one thing that I don't like about my schedule. Note that I say schedule and not Job because I love my Job. Anyways the problem with my schedule is that from time to time good things happen on Saturdays and they happen far far away from Yorkton. Such as The SYP March Mini happening this weekend. If you wish to ask how I feel about my schedule don't, I have answered that question so many times that soon I am going to start making up answers such as "I don't like working on weekends but if I drink enough I forget I'm at work". Or maybe "I don't even show up I just voice track it a few weeks in advance".

I still love coming back home to P.A. the girl who was living in my bedroom has left so I have my nice water bed back and as earlier stated whenever I come home the liquor cabinet opens up. Sometimes if I am lucky there will be some new and exotic thing that Dad recently found. Yesterday it was a Black and Tan. For those of you who have never had the good fortune to have a Black and Tan or knowing what it is. Simply put it is Ireland's greatest export. To make a Black and Tan you require Guinness and Harp (Irish Ale) you can theoretically use any ale such as Keiths but Irish Ale ads to the legitimacy. You fill a pint glass half full with Harp and then very delicately and slowly poor the Guinness on top of the Ale. If done correctly you should have some nice tan ale sitting in the bottom of your glass and some dark Guinness sitting on top. I have decided it is now my goal to make the perfect Black and Tan. It will take time and practice but if you mess it up you just stir it and now it's an almost as good half and half. So should you come to Yorkton be prepared to be offered the greatest beer beverage there is.

Damn The Torpedoes

So my plans to be productive actually worked! I was in work later than I wanted but I got prep done and my show sounded way better! I was able to have more cohesive breaks and some of them were kind of funny. My last break of the day inspired me to create a new game called What Does it Take To Make People Call In. The way this game works is to make people call in because of what I say and not for contests. The goal is not to be offensive, all that would do is get me fired and nobody wants that (I hope). Today I made sure I had a coworker come on with me so that I didn't accidentally become offensive. I will call this coworker Yellow for no reason other than I like the way it sounds. Today the game turned out well I had two people call in. One said I was a complete idiot for saying that people should text and drive to fight peer pressure, The other caller hung up before I could talk to them I am thinking they would have said something similar.

Why are the Kardashians famous? This question is boggling and angering. They have no talent or known skills except being famous. At least Paris Hilton pretended to sing and act and there was only one of her. I am beginning to think the Kardashians are multiplying like some strange mutant that splits into two indecipherable copies every year. Apparently they were on a talk show and claimed they were hard working and their talents were marketing. They are not hard working they party all night. They have no skills in marketing they have skills in dating B-list celebrities recording their sexual antics having one of their cronies release the recordings when they inevitably break up. Then they play the victim and lap up the sympathy and media attention while recording another tape for when everyone gets sick of their last exploit and moves onto real news. If anyone out there can explain peoples fascination with these harpies and can figure out why people watch TV shows centered around their shallow and petty antics please let me know!

Also Bill Gates is on the Daily Show right now. More people should focus on him and his charitable efforts instead of people that are famous for being famous and the world will be a better place!
