There used to be this extremely stupid motto or slogan on every Government of Brit"SHIT" Columbia's website, letter or sign reading The Best (which actually is the worst) Place on Earth! With fucking stupid thing like that they attract people from around the world to that raining shithole and empty their pocket. The slogan was disappeared after that fucking drunk pig, Gordon Campbell stepped down

I was surfing the channels the other day and while I was jumping from this to that I realized that several different channel were broadcasting this annual State of Bullshit of Obama! And it truly was state of bullshit as soon as he started. I wanted to see what he was saying but when after a few sentences he came to ... Today United Stated is stronger and more respected around the word ... I said

I have to admit that it was a quite a risky drive today, much dangerous than any time although I only drove 4 blocks to get F. F. from the train. I sat at the wheel and pushed the clutch to start the engine. I turned the key and the it started but when I released the clutch, it did not response as quick as usual. It return to the default position very slowly and unwillingly! I guess it had

We decided to check the rink by the river out, the one in Eau Clair Market, last night but I think it was a crazy idea! It was almost -19 C and there was barely anybody on the streets especially because it was Sun. night as well. Everybody was getting ready for tomorrow's work. So we were there and we saw this sign saying Rink Closed with a handwritten note says Dangerous Conditions! I did not

We spent almost 2 hours in Sportcheck, Canadian Tire and SportMart for a pair of skates and a helmet. I spent close to $110 on these two. Almost $70 for the skates and around $40 for the damn helmet. It was not easy to select the skates because it's not easy to try them on! A good pair of skate can not be purchased less than $100 I assume but for a beginner like me I guess that is more than

We just checked out Earls for a dinner a few night ago. The restaurant looked nice but like many other there was no table cloth and the surface had numerous scratches. Something that I hate the most. Not tidy and nice. We did not have to wait for a long time to be seated although the restaurant was quite crowded. You could see the outer layer(!) of the kitchen from the booth that we were sited.

We finally saw Tin Tin in 3D this week. I had planned for this for months! It was a little late because we had a few failed attempts. I had forgotten the story completely. I just knew it was about a ship called Unicorn. I had read the story probably more than 50 times but that was more than 25 years ago. I had a good collection of Tin Tin books but then I lost them one by one through years when I

I finally started learning a kind of sport that I had never tried or never had the opportunity to try before I came to Canada. I started learning Ice Skating today. I wanted to buy a pair of skates but decided to rent for the first session just to see how I feel. The first class, for me as someone who has never been on the ice was good. I learned the basics and managed not to fall until the last

There was this interesting documentary on History the other night about the small Colombian submarines that the drug dealers use to smuggle Cocaine to the US. I don't know what part of their claim was based on fact but it was said that although these small submarines worth up to $1,000,000 but the profit they make is too much that they get disposed of after delivering their load.

There's nothing special goin' these days. I decided to tell one story about the time I did Law Enforcement in a municipal level. We were on our regular patrol that night and I don't recall when it was but could be between 10:00 and 10:30 when we received a call from the dispatch asking us to check on this address to assist the officers with a dog issue. We were not too far from the place. As soon

Christmas this year was no close to a real Christmas everybody wanted: A brown Christmas. I went for my running of 21 min. today and felt no chill, almost 5 C or so. Yesterday was the same and the say before that just a little windy. We went to Nosehill Park and hiked for about 01:30 and just wind bothered a little on the top. As of shopping, I bought nothing. I didn't need anything. But I assume

We had the company's Christmas Party last night in a nice hotel. It was a good one. We arrived there at about 06:15 shortly after it had been started and that was because I had called a cab for 06:00. I did not expect the cap to be on time because I had called several times but it was prompt. We started with drinks and talked to a few colleagues. And fortunately did not have to sit at the dinner

It was just last Sun. when I read that an unmanned American airplane, the kind that is used for reconnaissance had been landed by Iranian forces almost with no damage inside Iranian borders! That sounded very interesting. Americans, now humiliated to the utmost degree, have gone silence ever since. Denial, mostly has been their only expression so far. The next step would probably be saying that

This story of Peace Bridge was brought to attention in our weekly educational discussion meeting, I believe it was almost 2 months ago or so. I was aware of the delays but did not know the reason. One of the colleagues mentioned the problems with the welds, the welds which have been performed in Spain! Can you believe that!? We have so many manufacturers in Canada and so many more in the

These pictures you see here, these three and I'm hoping they are big and clear enough, show a great coordination that I indirectly witnessed in a manufacturing facility. Three cranes and one overhead crane worked together in such a smooth and nice way and transferred a heavy and lengthy unit to an eighteen-wheeler. I really enjoyed watching that. No accident, no waste of time. Just a perfect job.

It was a long time that I wanted to try this Wave Coffee until we gave it a try on Sun. eventually: A complete waste of time and money and a total discomfort.This new coffee house that they have tried to make it something like Starbucks, Good Earth or Second Cup was a combination of low quality design and everything else that you would not want in a coffee shop that you usually go to to have a

There was this big Print Shop on 8th St., I guess, that I had been to for my photocopy reasons a few time back to 2003 and 2004. I remember they had this sign out of the store saying that you could have your personalized calendar with your own photos. The sign would emerge of course early Dec. That store is not there any more. The business is gone or have been moved somewhere else, I'm assuming

Since everyone tries to combine some disgusting crap to sell it to the poor people and make money, I have decided to stay away from outside food and I do unless it is absolutely necessary to eat outside. One of the foods that you can find different types of it in the market is Chips. The best chips to my knowledge and experience is Lays. The rest I stay away, especially Pringles. They make

I decided to go for my regular jogging despite the fact that I had not have enough sleep last night, not more than 4.5 hours, at the most and also It was chilly. -17 C which was felt -29 C with windchill. So I went to a Sportcheck to buy a pair of gloves. I thought that would be the only thing I needed. I have to mention though that MEC is closer to me and I went there first but their parking was

I wanted to pick up F. F. from work last night so I got the vehicle, parked on the street around 20:05 when it was almost -15 C or a little less. Turned the ignition on, boom! The first try and the engine was running! No block heater, no heated underground parking or shit like that!Gave a couple of minutes while cleaning the windows from the light snow and drove it. No problem at all. Thanks

I just came back from jugging. It was cold, almost -7 C and I had to wear a pair of gloves and a tuque. The gloves didn't help much and my finger were frozen on my way back. I did a 20 minutes jogging, a 10 min. to east and the second 10 min., without a delay, back to west. The return was harder because I had to run against the cold wind. generally I was OK. There was a little bit of flurries as

We watched the new Clint Eastwood's movie, him as director, not actor, called Edgar, about the first director of the FBI. It was a bit tiring, especially for F. F. who doesn't know much about the States history. I had a little knowledge and could digest most of the movie. Eastwood's movies are usually good but at times I think he could do a bit better.

We decided to eat out last night so we went to a Indian restaurant in Downtown which was known to us from a classmate: Royal Indian. It was a disappointing experience. The food was not good compare to the little Indian restaurant we had eaten in previously and it was not hot.

Calgary received the first winter snow last Fri. It was just a few millimeters but made enough troubles from many. It was almost -8 C when we were leaving home around 09:35 AM and went up to almost 2 C when I was jogging in Glenmore. Surprisingly there were not many runners and joggers yesterday.

F. F. wanted to do a little shopping so I dropped her at Chinook Centre and drove to Glenmore Park. By the time I got there it was almost 07:30 PM and dark. I parked and got into the path. There were a few people there all with their light on the foreheads. I have one but had not put it on.

I bought my first TV a 20" Sony Trinitron from a&b Sound in Downtown in 2003. I don't know much about detail; how I chose that or why but I remember that it was 2 or three instalments. Considering that TV was around $450, it wouldn't make a big deal every month. Then I was offered a Citi Mastercard right after that and that was my first Credit Card outside my banking regulars.

It's passed mid Oct. and still no snow, not even a heavy rain fall. Temperature is most of the time double-digit and not serious problems when walking. Well I don't have to walk a lot. If I'm going to work it's not more than 10 min. at the most. Everywhere else I drive. That's what makes life a bit dangerous: Lack of activity.

I don't know how this started but I remember that Obama said something a few weeks ago about taxing the very rich people in the States and that woke people. First they started in Wall Street and then almost everywhere: London, Rome, Vancouver, even Calgary.

Fortunately it was not very busy as lazy losers spend their times in bars and cafes usually and posers stay in indoor sport facilities! It was cold and windy though.

It was in the news last week that the King of Saudi Arabia had decided to give freedom and rights to women. In the country that a family runs everything and even they name it after they family name, this could mean a lot to people.While women in Saudi Arabia do not qualify to apply for a Driver's Licence, now giving them the right to vote in election seems a big step ahead.Ottawa Citizen's

For years I knew that there was a Farmers' Market in Calgary but never actually have been to. Farmers' Markets are common in Canadian cities. Even White Rock, the tiny town close to the US border, in B. C., has one. So last week I was driving around in SE part of the city and I realized that there was a parking lot full of vehicles. I asked myself what they were there for? Obviously no company

The French Parliament banned wearing Neqab (picture) in public place a few months ago. I think it should have also been passed by their senate. They passed it eventually, I guess. France has biggest Muslim population in the European Union. Most of them are from northern African countries, a few former French colony countries like Algeria. Also Morocco. Germany comes after that with mostly Turks.

I had a McDonald's breakfast coupon as well as a few others for other meals. So I went to a local one and got two Sausage McMuffin with Egg. I had a bad feeling, like being in an oven or a furnace all day long! Different people's body is different.

Just a while ago there was a discussion over the name or title to be used before the Canadian Navy. It was being said the the term Royal should be put because after all Canadians feel very close to the Royal Family. They have shown it in the past few years that the members travelled to Canada. It was being talked over and over without mentioning that how big really the main problems of the Navy

We watched Apollo 18 tonight and I must say it was an extraordinary movie. I had expected a science-fiction because the little I read about it but not something like that. It was a horror-science-fiction, I would say and a different experience; something different from all the movies I've seen so far.

For weeks it was being announced the all the TV receivers which use an antenna instead of a cable would not be able to be useful after 31-Aug. We had our cable cancelled and we were using an indoor antenna, receiving a few channels including Global, CTV, CBC, City TV and CBC French. Now they are all, as it was promised, gone and only the French channel is left! The one which is useless anyway! So

I've gotta say that I'm really surprised by the way the Government, politicians, especially the foes, I'd like to call them, and ordinary people treated Jack Layton after his sudden death this week. A state funeral which leaders from all the parties and present and past politicians and people all take part. I didn't no much of him but I know that his efforts moved his party from the third place

I previously wrote about my feeling in life and that was actually a long time ago. This time I decided to feel practically what Orwell realized in his time period he was a low-life labourer in Paris and London. I had talked to Hodani and he arranged a telephone call with his boss for the same position as himself: a dishwasher. I eventually got the opportunity(!) to show myself. It, in fact, was

I at times need to check an address before I go and the first choice and the handy of one is Google Maps. But it usually does not suggest the most convenient and closest way. So it's good to look at Google Maps but you, as the driver are the only one who finds the best way. I wanted to go to 4th St., NE yesterday and the way Google Maps showed me would have taken at least 10 to 15 min. longer if

Coffee, as I've written about it several time is the most favorite drink in Canada but that's not because people like to drink it more often, it's because it gives them a very mild relaxation that they can only get through alcohol when drank a little. And because they can't drink alcohol that much then coffee would be a good choice. This was just a preface to tell you a short story about we,

I mentioned not a long time ago that multiculturalism does not work. This time I have a good witness: This Norwegian guy.

There is barely a week that we do not see a police vehicle in our neighborhood. It's one specific building that looks like has problems. F.

As Canada is close to Caribbean and all those countries have tropical weather and have nothing much to expoert and make revenue but cheap fruits and vegetables and also because people like to try everything available no matter how much it cost them, you can find almost every kind of fruit, vegetable and food here.

Calgary has probably the ugliest weather amongst all the major cities in Northern America, if not the entire world! Some people don't even consider it a major city.

Once the Pickton's trail was going on I was trying to follow and when the verdict came out and he was convicted as a second degree murderer I wondered what that means.

Oil has been always an issue to North Americans. Not that it is not to anyone else anywhere else. The reason is they are so dependents on their vehicles and like to drive big gasoline-eaters.

In fact anything less than $1200 a month is not a place to live in. So we look around

I eventually bought insurance for my vehicle yesterday after 2 weeks of arguing with different insurance companies. You'd be amazed if I told you with whom I ended up: ICBC! My insurance for 6 month is $981 which is way better than many quotes that I had but I had to pay a big ticket I had received: $598!It's much better because I won't have the hassle of the damn Out of Province Inspection,

I've written about coffee several time but I believe that most of the stuff we drink here in North America is not pure coffee! They blend different things including chemicals and essences and sell as coffee starting $1.5 at least. Coffee companies, though compete to sell more of this coffee-like stuff on daily basis and as I said there are lots of them. At the same time there are others who

There's this fantastic Radio Show that I listen to at times when I'm driving. Unfortunately I don't know the name of the guy but will find out soon. They always discuss the current issues of the country. Today's was immigration and multiculturalism. The guy was warning against the imminent danger that the country might face from immigrants and refugees,mainly because they can't adopt themselves

It had been a very long time that I was looking for these Kurosawa movies until I found them last week for a reasonable price. Actually I had found them, as I wrote before, in HMV but this used video store, Bird Dog has a Out of Business Sale so I found 4 movies in a pack, all from Kurosawa and one German that I heard about in 2008 or 09. I'll wrote about the German one because I haven,t watched

I tried to have my file either transferred or activated shortly after I moved to Calgary. Regina did not do much. An officer from Pacific Division worked on it and eventually deferred me for one year! I don't know what would be the point of re-applying especially because I have to write the damn exam again!The reason for deferral was my financial struggle with the company behind Future Shop Card.

I was playing white against this French asshole whose ranking was much higher than mine and got his Knight at the beginning. I think he didn't like it because the difference was huge. Then he put the game in a kind of hold position for a long time and all we were doing was just moving around.It took probably more than 5 min. that I realized if I carry on like that I would be the one who loses the

I don't remember when the first time was I had Sushi but that could have been around 2003. I bought it from a supermarket and went home to discover it! I clearly remember that I thought at the time that the Delicatessen crew had messed up the food by forgetting some kind of green paste beside it by seeing Wasabi! Ginger did not seem very unusual to me. Then I ate the rolls and enjoyed. That was

I was playing black a few days ago and managed to prevail while I was way behind and was being pushed to the corner. That should have been a real frustration and embarrassment for the guy. There's always someone who loses and someone who wins but the loss is kind of hard while you have a Knight and Pawn more than your opponent! And it's not that I did something extraordinary. I just like it.

Things were getting better on daily basis at the new job. I was being assigned to new works and learning more and more. The guy, though, has been the same asshole! I really don't know what the hell his problem is! My guess is probably he thinks that I might take over. With the kind of a trust that the Project Manager shows about him I don't think he should fear that.Today he showed up at work

I have seen so many of the guys that used to see them at the first workplace in Canada. Most of them have quit and do different jobs now. I saw Randy at a C-Train Station. He was playing with his phone like many other people and gave me his number. I called him once but never received a call back. Then I saw Jerome in a supermarket and Rudy working for a furniture company. G. H. was the last one

Last Sat. was a special day for all the Calgarians, I guess. It started snowing in the morning, before I woke up, I was told and continued for almost 12 hours. It got slow and fast at time but never stopped during the period. Nevertheless I went to Talisman for my exercises. There was a service disruption to the all hilly routes, mine as well!So I had to walk for almost 3 stops after the work out

I finally found a place last week and wanted to get out of the shit-hole without saying anything to the asshole genies. So I went back and forth several times to take my stuff to the new place because I didn't want to pay for a cab or rent a car. So I had everything taken to the new apartment and it was a Sat. morning when I had a big sack, my laptop's case and a few more things. I had to wake up

I missed the White Pride rally last weekend. It could have been fun because the population of Caucasians taking part in the rally was huge: 16!The funny thing is this guys let everybody from every corner of the globe let in and they start bothering them? The fact is 16 is not the true number of the people who are fed up with the unsuccessful multiculturalism but I guess the majority of White

The Western countries' armories get full every often and they have to find a way to use them up and fill them up with the modern ones. It was Iraq's turn in 2003 to be the lab for the new American weapons' test including F-117 and many other items. Now it's the time for Libya to be tested against new French and American missiles and airplanes. Even Canada has sent F/A-18s. They probably will say

I was playing chess last night and lost my temper and started searing at the guy! This time as soon as this happened, I got kicked out of the game and Live Chess completely. Several attempts were made but failed. I had received warning before but never knew it could be serious like this. I thought I was out permanently but I checked today and I was fine! No need to create another account!

There has been years that I wanted to buy this movie to be able to watch it as many time as I wanted: Throne of Blood. An adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth. I even rented the movie once from a Rogers, the one in 17th Ave. which closed now.I always encountered prices like $50, $60 and over. This time I found it in the HMV store in downtown for some $25 and bought it.Now I have to say that I'm

Look at this C-Train station: Doesn't it look like a barn?...well it is Alberta. It must resemble something from the Province! This Province is all about beef, cowboys, farms, wheat and other grains. Oil also!The stupid thing about these stations is that you have to go up a set of stairs and walk on the overpass to get there! I don't know who the wise person designed that! In a city like Calgary

The other day it was -2o C something and really cold. Then a day after that some -17 C but much colder! It was unbelievable but the reason was the damn wind!Calgary is subject to strong winds because there's nothing around it. So when the wind is blowing in the winter it makes the weather felt much colder than it really it should be. I was walking on 5th Ave. SW yesterday when the telephone rang.

Calgary is cold again and even me who never complains about the weather was cursing the heavens and earth today! That's because I went out and the damn LRT was out of service for part of the line so I and of course everybody else had to wait for the damn shuttle bus and it was snowing with the regular wind of Calgary!So I took the train and went to Bridgeland Station and took the train for home

It's now -17 C and sunny but was really cold when we were out last night.I was walking to a Safeway to get something for my dinner and there was absolutely nobody on the streets as far as the eyes could see!

You probably have seen Seinfeld. That is my favorite sitcom. I can't tell which is the best because all of them are great but today something reminded me of George Costanza played by Jason Alexander.
