Flashback (18): Undercover Cops

Disclaimer: This post contains adult content. If, by any means, you are offended by such subjects, please avoid it: 
There’s a strip club in Downtown Calgary called The French Maid. We used to go there at times. It was close to home at the time and the admission was cheap (only $4 as far as I remember) and ... well we liked it.
I went there a few times with Keiv. P., once only the crazy guy, Ray, The Microbe (and that was the time he wanted to challenge me in Table Tennis!), once or a little more than a time with the Afghans and once or two times by myself.
The street, in the Downtown, like any other city, was a center for street prostitutes. Once we were there and I don’t remember if we were going in or coming out and there were two women sitting in a SUV, an old one not too far from the club. I don’t remember how because it’s been 6 years now, but somehow we, me and Keiv. P. approached them and they offered company. I guess they priced themselves $100 and then the one who was behind the wheel gave a mobile number and we left. Keiv. P. said that they were undercover police officers and I didn't believe it at the time but nowadays and after years of living in here I think that might be true.
Ray, The Microbe once encouraged me to call them to see if they are available and that was probably a little over a year after that time and I dialed the number and there was no answer, I guess. I’m still not sure if Keiv. P. was right or not but there were lots of stories in the news about CPS trying to wipe out prostitution from certain neighbourhoods in Calgary including Forest Lawn. So Keiv. P. could have been right.

Buy American

There was a bunch of stupid assholes in Canada as well as everywhere else (not talking about the US) who were supporting Obama without knowing nothing about his plans for the fucked up economy and everything!
Now he’s taken over the office and his words are coming out. He, as mentioned in his campaign is trying to represent a good view of America to the World. Ordering to close the Guantanamo Bay Prison was the first step. Then he presented his stimulus package for the economy. And here’s where the assholes who pack their fucking suitcases and went all the way to Washington to see the stupid inauguration she receive their beg SCREW YOU from him and his administration!
He clearly states the Buy American policy in the package. That thing affects the already suffering manufacturing sector of Canada a lot. NAFTA states that trade is free in North America and project s and companies are free to buy from any manufacturer in this part of the world for their needs but the packages stresses that the infrastructure projects in the US must buy American products if they want to receive anything from that some billion dollar money!
So now where are the fucking asshole stupid shitheads who were posing in front of the fucking camera of CBC and showing their big support?! Funny thing is Obama told Mansbridge in a CBC interview that Canada shouldn’t be to concerned about Buy American policy. What the fuck is that supposed to mean?

Flashback (17): The Rear Window

Perhaps you’ve seen Rear Window, an Alfred Hitchcock horror, like all of his. The story I’m goin’ to tell you now is not a horror, it’s just a regular one, the one that tell how I teased and fooled A. J.
I lived in an old house in Brackendale, B. C. for a little more than a year. The main door could be locked from inside without a key. So when you were goin’ out you only had to turn the knob and that would be it. Once I locked the door from inside and got out, checked my pockets and damn! Forgot the keys inside!
The closest place to get the key was an hour and half drive away! And there was no sense to drive all the way and back to get the key because obviously that would drive A. J. crazy! So I decided to check the windows and doors. None of them would be broken into unless I used a metal bar, a sledgehammer or something like that and make a big noise. That was not a good idea because then I had to fix the damn thing and didn’t know how much that would cost or what would be the neighbour’s reaction and A. J.’s.
The easiest way was a rear window which opened to a small bedroom. It had thin glasses. So I slightly nudged the glass and broke it! Then made my way in easily and got the key. I, then, covered the window easily with a nylon sheet. That wasn’t bothering me because I slept in the other room with a heater.
Then A. J. showed up one night and noticed that. I, obviously, pretended nothing had happened to the minute he saw it and when he asked me what had happened I simply said that I had noticed that the night that I came back from his place! He got upset and asked for tuck tape and more nylon sheets and covered the window and slept in the room at night. He, at times, wouldn’t sleep very well and there were several times that he told me that he woke up at about 02:00 AM and couldn’t go back to sleep as result of stress and too much problems in his mind. Imagine how his sleep would be after the fake nylon cover was put on!
Then another day the same damn thing happened! I, again, left the keys inside and this time I had to cut the nylon sheet using a knife! That drove him mad and had to cover it again! He complained a lot and said that he did not know who had problem with him and why they did that to him! But that was the last time because I moved out shortly after that. Here, at this place, this never happens. I have a lock that should be locked from outside. But the problem here is at times I leave the building and I ask myself: Did I lock the door?!!

Chinese Massage

Recession has affected everything and most notably entertainment industry of any kind. People obviously rethink these days when are spending their dollars.
I myself used to go to massage places to relax but has been a very long time that haven’t been to one. That’s shit. So I was checking the ads because I really need to get a good massage and noticed something about a masseur who always advertises in different papers, a Chinese lady. Actually most of the massage parlours are Asians or better to say most of the cheap ones. Filipinos, Thais and Chinese and of course other one who claims that are from such backgrounds. This is funny because when there’s fame in something and you offer the same quality, people don’t believe you and still go to the same one for their need. For example Honda and Toyota have built up a good reputation in auto industry while GM, Ford and Chrysler have almost the same quality but it’s very hard for them to compete because the Japanese have gain the trust.
I personally have an experience in that matter: There is a Thai restaurant in 17th Ave., Calgary which I used to go there often for a dinner. They serve good food. I went there with P. M. a few times as well. One woman in there once told us that none of them were actually Thai! They were all Vietnamese! But I don’t know why they were doing that because Vietnamese food has a good reputation, if not more, as well.
Anyway as you see at the bottom, the Chinese lady first offers her service for $60 and up and then in a few months the base price is reduced to $40 and now he’s hired people and it’s her and the team who offers the service, with a lower price of $35. I’ll write about the service and its quality as soon as I go there.
(Photo: Three ads of the Chinese lady in three different newspapers, from left to right prices are going down. We'll see the quality of services in a few weeks)

Good Quality, Bad Quantity


It's been a long time that I haven't written anything in here. It's not because there was nothing to think and write about. It was because all this stress I'm under from different side, especially from F. F. and the damn stupid job I have at the moment.So time is flying by and I still haven't settled down and still looking for a job that I can cover all my needs. This stupid recession that bunch of motherfucker Americans started it, seem not goin' to be finished soon. Just listen to the new lie the motherfuckers just made up: The recession will end and everything will go back to normal in early 2010, if not in late 2009!And that was just 3 weeks ago that they said everything will go back to fucking normal Capitalists way! So motherfucker animals! Which one is false and which one true?!You cocksuckers in Government probably don't - not probably for sure - care because you animal fuckers all receive over $200,000 salaries!So back to my monthly Cooper Test practises, I just had the chance to do that it four times but the results all are categorized as Good. The quality is good but the quantity is not. I'm trying to improve both in March.
