Dog Is Better Than God!

I went to North Vancouver to renew the van’s insurance which will be expired in June the 23rd and a dumb ass told me that I should have all the records from Alberta and then be there in a week day to go to an ICBC office to fill out the forms and get it all done. So I called A. J. and told him the story and then he invited me over to his home in Coquitlam. But when I was heading west, taking Highway No. 1, I missed my exit, crossed Fraser River and went all the way to Surrey! Fortunately I didn’t go too far, made a U-turn and went there.
I was gonna spend a few hours in the cities but spent most of my time in their house and Futureshop in the neighbourhood, playing hockey on a PlayStation 3!
Then we went back home and watched TV, A. J.’s Mom who has been recently arrived for a visit confused God with dog! And I said actually dog is better than God! Because as Cyrus wrote me once and I truly believe in that, God didn’t create us, we created God. But what can we do? So many people are fooled themselves with bullshits like God, religion, Lord, heaven and hell and that’s not easy to make them understand. I’d rather leave them or ignore then as long as they are not in my company. Like what Frank said once in Everybody Loves Raymond: Screw them! Who needs friends like that?! And I add: And people like that too!

Winner: the Ducks

It was obvious that Anaheim wins this season’s Stanley Cup from the beginning of the series in CA. Regardless the fact that they won both the home games not very easy, 3-2 and 1-0. But they were started the season very strongly and then in game 4 in Ottawa they beat the Senators 3-2 while Pronger had been already suspended from the game. It showed that the Ducks are not so dependent on one guy. Anyhow I wanted to watch game 5 but just after a few minutes when the Senators accepted the first goal left the room and went to the mower! When I got back, the Ducks were celebrating a 6-2 victory and the Stanley Cup! So again a Canadian team didn’t win the Cup after the last time which was 14 years ago. Last year Edmonton was the finalist and the year before there was the lock out and in 2004 Calgary lost the chance. Let’s wait for the next season, the one that I’m goin’ to watch a game for the first time in an arena.

Don't Mess With Me!

I decided to go and have a look at the house that we’re building at the other side of the town in the afternoon. I went there and obviously nobody was working. Those bastards don’t work their regular time! I didn’t expect to see them. So I went up the first floor and collected a few bottles and cans which had been dispersed all over and then got up the second floor that have been sheeted recently. I started looking around as it’s beautiful and then I think that I heard a rock or something falling down the house! I paid not much attention at the beginning and it kept coming. I got down and saw that all the five cans and bottles which I had put on the table are on the floor! Someone was a good shooter! I climbed down the ladder and started looking around. There’s actually no one in the neighbours who would such a stupid thing! The house in the back is belongs to an old couple. The lady went to the municipality at the start of the project and complained which led us to build a retaining wall but everything has been cool ever since. I most of the time talk to the man who’s a retired CN employee and he let me in his yard and I took photos of his beautiful flowers and I will. The house at the right side is occupied by tenants and we have no problems with them. So I really had no idea who he or she would be.
Then I called 411 and got RCMP number of the town and called them. They sent someone after about 10 min. That was one of the most beautiful girls whom I had ever seen in my life but a redneck like most of the Caucasian people. She, although, walked around and asked me questions and showed her presence and then Mike showed up. He apparently had received a call from the guy who lives across the street. I could easily say that the way the woman officer treated Mike was completely different from me. She was very friendly and shock hand with him. She could have been hungry for a cock and Mike could be a good choice!
Anyhow we all left after a few more min. of conversation and today Brian, the guy who called Mike said that it could have been bottles out! And I was thinking: That could be right in a way. No one could be so accurate. And could be wrong too: How in the hell all the bottles and cans got hit?

The Second Attempt: Failed!

I took the same trial that I did last Mon. And I hoped that I go all the way and come back home. I felt a little better at the beginning when I started at 11:30 and after a few hundred meters I saw another cyclist ahead of me. I hoped I catch up with him or her and say: You need a boost?! I was trying to focus on my paces while heard people are talking. I turned back on the bike and saw a bunch I bikers getting close. They easily caught up with me and left! I then reached them when we all reached a flat area but then when we get to a downhill then just let it go and got disappeared! I decided to go steady and slow. Well ... not slow, just a normal speed. Then I saw a couple and I stopped frequently for photos. When I once stopped on a bridge, I asked them if they knew how far we were from the town. The man took out a map and showed me where we were. We were half way through!
They then left and stayed a little longer for a few shots and after that I never saw them again. I was sure that they are not so fast to be able to get so far. They probably took another trail. I went and went and it was getting really hot and I was tired. I took my sweater off and had the bars I had with me but after asking a couple who were driving an ATV I decided to go back! The road was getting narrower and it was all slope up and I was not sure if that took me back to the town, so I just rode all the way back. I got home at about 03:25! I will hit that road but next time with extra food, water, map and lighter cover.

Back to Ottawa with great big hope

I tried to sit on the damn chair and watch the entire game yesterday because I cancelled my cycling trip but was only able to watch the first period entirely. Then I took a break to water the trees and flowers and watched the last minutes of the third. Regardless of the controversial score Ottawa beat the Ducks 5-3 and will face them again this Mon. What happened is there was a shot from distance which then was deflected and Alfredsson, the Swedish player of the Senators pushed it in just by having it hit on his foot, something that almost happened last year. Ryan Smith had a score which the puck hit part of his chest and went in. The Oilers didn't even make it to the Playoffs this year.

Hu”Sane” or Hu”Insane”!?

I was in the shower today and for unknown reason something hit me: Is Hu”sane” was really sane or in the contrary he was actually Hu”insane”? Hussein, which has different spellings in English, as Shia Muslims believe sacrificed his whole family for the sake of Islam. He refused to obey the one who reigned at the time, claiming that because he was the prophet’s grandchild, the sovereign should be his! The ruler beat the shit out of the whole family and followers but surprisingly one of his three sons survived! Shia says he wasn’t killed because he was sick at the time! Why he was not killed by such brutal army, as a result of an illness while they took the whole family, that’s the question which has never been answered and proves how stupid and ridiculous the entire story and the other stories that Islam has made up so far, are. Considering this is a true story, it stands by the fact that he was actually Hu”Insane” not Hu”Sane” because who commits a family suicide because of thirst for power? Only an insane person. Islam is an idea or path, no matter good or bad (which I pick the second choice), it remains in the minds and hearts of the believers and not such an act is needed, unless it's fake.
