Danish Beer Commercial--too true

Danish beer commercial

been gone for a while---jack off video

i haven't made many entries lately because i was in abernethy for most of last week and dial up internet sucks. heres what i was doing. i spent the first part of last week in abernethy at my parents house. on wednesday i went to saskatoon to visit some friends and my grandma caught a ride with me. thursday tyler and went to dinos lounge(see previous post). on friday night tyson, tyler, lindsay, lindsays friend shannon and myself went to the pat(it sucked), so then we went to the scuz(it sucked too), we then went to dinos again(it also sucked), after that we went back to my house and listened to lindsay and tyson argue about dope. saturday morning i picked up my grandma at her friends house and we went back to abernethy. saturday night i went and saw cory, matty, and cole at cory's farm where the balcarres grad party was taking place. ive basically been sleeping since sunday morning except for the drive back to coronach sunday afternoon and while i was working today.
i got my dish hooked up tonight after work so now i can cancel my cable. i must have looked pretty stupid while hooking up my dish though, to avoid having to run in and out of the house to see the signal strength i hookep up my dish receiver and a tv outside. they're back inside now and my dish is working perfectly.
i think ill cut my lawn tomorrow, it hasn't been cut in probably over a month and is nearly two feet high, and im sure my neighbours are getting pissy at me.

in closing here is good short video i found on you tube. it seems familiar somehow, i either saw it when it aired on tv or online since. if anyone knows this newscaster let me know her name, i think she might be worth getting to know.

buffalo cab last night

last night tyler and i and one of his buddies went to dinos lounge above the venice house on central avenue. tyler went with the intention of only having a couple drinks so he could drive home but we ended up staying until last call and had to catch a buffalo cab home.

Saskatoon until Saturday

tomorrow im heading to saskatoon to check up on my house and visit with some friends i haven't seen in a while. i have a job interview up there on thursday as well so it kind of worked out good. on friday some friends and i are going to be doing some boozing, so if anyone know of any good events going on leave a comment or drop me a line.

In Abernethy until Wednesday then to Saskatoon

i drove up to abernethy on friday night but had to make a pit stop in regina. on my way back to coronach from regina earlier in the day, i realized i had left the keys to all the bus depots along my route on the coffee table at my cousins house. i had to call the people that ran the agencies so they could let me in to deliver their freight. i had to go back to regina to get those keys and take them to the bus depot for the guy that would be taking my place this week.
on saturday night i hung around abernethy and had a few beers with my dad and tank.
today i went to the seniors home in balcarres to visit my grandma, then came home and cut my parents lawn. with my dad still spraying and my mom never having been taught how to operate the riding lawn mower their yard has been somewhat neglected this year. it took me a couple hours because they do have a huge yard but when it was done it looked one hundred and ten percent better. tomorrow i have to take a bunch of empty propane tanks to fort qu'appelle to get filled, hopefully by the time i get home dads new tractor he bought from maple farm equipment in yorkton will be delivered and i can cut the grass at the farm yards.
on wednesday i will be going to saskatoon to stay at my house in the city for a few days. my grandma will be catching a ride with me so she can visit some friend or relative or something of hers. thursday i have a job interview for an agriculture related company in saskatoon, and friday there is supposed to be a pub crawl that lindsay, tyson, tyler, and i will probably be going on.
my posts will probably be less frequent this week because abernethy only has shitty dial up internet.

U.S. house of representatives rejects Net Neutrality

the american house of representatives has rejected internet neutrality. ive heard about net neutrality in the past but never really understood what it meant until i read this article at stage left. without net neutrality the owners of web sites will be able to pay for their sites to be accessed faster than those that don't pay. this is only an american law so far but im curious if it will affect the way people access american internet sites from outside the U.S. if anyone knows, let me know.

Ahenekew vs. KKK/Canada vs. U.S.A.

in canada a man by the name of david ahenekew is charged with promoting hatred because he answered questions from a star phoenix reporter about what he personally thought about the jewish people. today in the united states about 30 people from the ku klux klan and other white supremacist groups gathered at antietam national battlefield to listen to speeches attacking blacks, migrants and other minority groups. some were dressed in white robes, others in military style clothing, and others wore swastika arm bands.

there is something dreadfully wrong on both sides of the border. i don't share ahenekew's position one bit, but as far as i know he never encouraged anyone to harm a jewish person (please correct me if im wrong), and he was charged with promoting hatred for simply answering a question truthfully.
the ku klux klan is known to act violently against blacks, jews, and homosexuals yet they are allowed to hold meeting, in national parks no less.

i don't know the law of either the U.S. or Canada well enough but to me it seems that the U.S. has taken a very laid back attitude towards these white supremacists while Canada has drastically over reacted to the opinion of one elderly old man.

Hector Got Hitched !!!

the secret society known as the bilderberg group is in ottawa this weekend

the bilderberg group is having its annual meeting in Ottawa this year from june 8th until june 11th. the bilderberg group was originally organized in 1954 as a meeting of political and business leader from north america and europe to promote better understanding of the two cultures. the events of the meetings are always kept secret and conspiracy theorists have maintained this is a secret society. although there is apparently no membership many influential people have attended the meetings more than once. some people that have attended the meetings in the past include current prime minister stephen harper(while leader of the opposition), former prime ministers jean chretien, and pierre trudeau, british prime minister tony blair,and american defense secretary donald rumsfeld. the list of guests this year include david rockefeller, henry kissinger, holland's queen beatrix, and new york governor george pataki.
according to canadian writer daniel estulin, the bilderberg group is a powerful group business leaders and politicians who have the ultimate goal "to create a one world government where you don't have individual nations, you have one region, one religion, one constitution, one church, one currency and one country." according to estulin we can see the beginnings of this with the north american free trade agreement(NAFTA), and the european union. other conspiracy theorists insist that the bilderberg group is also responsible for getting bill clinton elected as president after he agreed to sign onto NAFTA.
topics for this years meeting include high oil prices and how to deal with iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad.

rentalsman rules in favour of brian keith solberg

i was listening to the radio on wednesday and heard about housing dilemma brian keith solberg was facing. for those that don't know, brian keith solberg is a convicted child molester who after being released settled into a condo in regina. the police issued public safety alerts with his picture, and his offending behavior. mr. solbergs land lord wanted to evict mr. solberg after receiving several complaints from concerned neighbours. the land lord then gave mr. solberg the proper eviction notice but mr. solberg challenged the eviction with the rentalsman. the rentalsman ruled in mr. solbergs favour and said he could not be evicted unless the land lords reasons for eviction were more paramount than mr. solbergs reasons for wanting to stay.
this story bothers me not only because we are putting the comforts of a child molester with a high risk to reoffend above the concerns of law abiding citizens, but because the owner of the home said child molester is renting doesn't have the right to say who lives in his home. people who own homes and rent them to others should have the right to dictate who resides on their property for whatever reason they see fit as long as they give proper notice. as a home owner that rents my home to others, i want to know that i can kick someone out because they smell, or they have acquired a drug problem, or the don't drink the same beer or smoke the same cigarettes as me. i would never do these things because i am farely picky about who lives in my house in the first place. but if i did rent my house to someone and found out later that they were once a child molester, or murderer i know that this would make my neighbours uncomfortable and i would want to kick him or her out of my house(with the proper notification of course).
i once enforced kicking someone out of a rental property my parents owned. the tenant had neglected to pay rent for about two months, my dad confronted him and said he understood if he could not pay the entire amount at once, but would like to at least see an effort and would like part of the rent by monday(this conversation took place on friday)or he would be kicked out. he never had any money on monday so i bought some pad locks and locked him out of the house. i drove by a while later and saw he had broken into the house to remove his belongings. needless to say i didn't give the appropriate notice and was informed of that by the RCMP. in the end we took this former tenant of ours to court, he lied in court saying we charged a damage deposit when we didn't. in the end we were informed we didn't give him proper notice but he still owed us the rent he neglected to pay us and our legal fees, we were told we could garnish his wages and seize his truck to sell and collect the money owed to us(as long as we did it legally). my dad was one of the most laid back land lords i have ever met and this guy tried to take advantage of that. he broke every rule we had layed out including no roomates without rent going up, and no smoking inside. the previous guy living in that house was always late on rent but he at least made the effort and paid what he could even if it was only $20, and after he moved out he still made the effort to pay my dad without having to be hassled. land owners who rent their property to others need more rights instead of dead beats and child molesters dictating the rules. in the case of my parents rental property everything did work out in our favour(don't mess with legal machine at my dads disposal, just kidding)although we still haven't seen the money owed to us for rent and legal fees. from time to time i hear a rumour about where the guy renting our house is living or what he is doing but i don't think it is worth the effort to try to get blood from that stone.

Conservative Budget Passes Unanimously thanks to a Procedural Error in Parliament.

the conservatives first budget passed on tuesday with unanimous consent in the house of commons. the budget passed because of what is known as a 'voice vote', in which those opposed to a law shout out nay and those in favour shout yay. apparently the liberals and the NDP didn't realize what was going on and didn't vote.

Heather Mills McCartney Exposed

Sir Paul McCartney's ex wife Heather Mills has recently had her past come back and bite her in the ass. better known to Canadians as the pain in the ass that goes on Larry King Live to condemn the annual seal hunt which is a major source of revenue for the Newfoundland economy. Heather Mills recent breakup with former beatle Paul McCartney who is worth over a billion dollars has fueled speculation that she will be getting a huge alimony payment. now there is even more negative press towards her because of the release of explicit sexual photos taken for a german erotica book published in 1988. i could give a shit about someones porn past but in this case i hope it ruins her because i don't like her.
the sun has posted some of the nude pics of heather mills here.

UN soldiers leave ex RCMP officer dying in a pool of his own blood in Haiti

two retired RCMP officers were driving near the slum Cite Soleil on the outskirts of Port-au-Prince when they came under attack. Mark Bourque was shot while driving with his friend Pierre Perreault. Perreault saw a nearby UN troop carrier which he thought would be their best chance for help and it very well should have been. instead of offering help the UN soldiers looked at them blankly from their troop carrier and even took pictures of the dying Bourque until Perreault shook his finger at them and they put the camera away. Perreault yelled at them for help in english, french, haitian creole, and even spanish but they still refused to get out of the troop carrier and help. Pierre Ratelle, who Bourque and Perreault were on their way to meet before being gunned down called Perreault on his cell phone while all this was going on. Ratelle informed his superior officer of what was going on, who in turn informed the UN's joint operations center. Bourque and Perreault arrived at an argentinian run hospital which was only five minutes from the scene of the shooting almost an hour after Bourque was shot, he was declared dead at 1108 am, 68 minutes after the 1000 am shooting. David Wimhurst, spokesman for the UN's mission in Haiti defended the soldiers response to the incident saying "They're not supposed to leave their station." wasn't the UN established to maintain peace and civility and to make sure that a conflict like WWII never took place again. how the hell are they ever going to be able to do that if they can't even offer CPR, first aid, or at least suppression fire to allow the injured to escape. its no wonder the americans don't take the UN seriously, and neither should Canadians any more. not that it has any basis for this incident but the UN soldiers were Jordanian in case anyone was wondering.

The Big Love and The Sopranos

i watched the season finales of both the sopranos and the big love tonight. the season finale of the big love was how a season finale should be, a cliff hanger. spoiler ahead. barb was outed as a polygamist at the utah mother of the year competition and disqualified. bills sister in law wanda poisoned romans son alby with anti freeze, and he almost died. it is also revealed that wanda poisoned bills dad, and not his mother.
the sopranos on the other hand ended poorly in my opinion. contrary to popular belief tonight was not the series finale. the show has been picked up for another eight episodes in 2007. although there is never a bad episode of the sopranos, tonights installment was by far not the best. what it did lack in excitement it made up for it with the addition of super hot Dania Ramirez, who plays AJ's girlfriend. you might recognize Dania from x men 3 where she played callisto. im not going to reveal much because nothing very significant happened other than AJ seems to have a distaste for his fathers lifestyle, and christopher has fallen off the wagon again. i will make a couple predictions though for next season. im not sure how it will come about but i think there is a definate possibility that tony will leave the mob either for the witness protection program or try to make it on his own. if he enters the program him and carmela live happily ever after selling patio furniture, if he tries it on his own he gets whacked by either silvio or christopher.

Star Trek Technology Close To Reality.

while some technologies such as cell phones and talking computers which were first envisioned on star trek have become a reality, i doubt many people would ever think that cloaking devices or anti-matter powered engines for space ships would. those far fetched sci-fi technologies might be closer than you think.

UK Dirty Bomb ?

police in the UK have arrested two brothers in connection to an alleged plot to detonate a chemical weapon. the two suspects are 23 year old mohammed abdul kahar who is recovering in hospital after being shot during the arrest and his brother 20 year old abul koyair who is in police custody as well. both men are from bangladesh. the police had reliable intelligence that the device could cause casualties in the double or triple digits. police were also seen scouring the surrounding neighbourhoods for the chemical device while wearing chemical and bio protective suits, so far they have not been succesful in finding any such device.

David Karwacki's Brother

David Karwacki's brother just made a campaign stop at the ramshackle hut that i rent. while i keep the interior of my house as nice as possible considering the circumstances, the exterior is another story. i don't have a lawn mower here so my front lawn is nearly a foot high and peppered with dandelions, in the back yard there is a large pile of twigs, branches, and broken glass left there from the previous tenant and a bunch of blackbirds managed to tear open a garbage bag that i had set out on the back step and forgotten overnight. when i discovered what the birds had done on my back step i put the garbage bag in the dumpster in the alley. this is more than likely not the worst yard that Mr. Karwacki has step foot in considering he pandering for votes for his brother. i do kind of feel embarassed though because i have an exceptionally nice yard in saskatoon. i feel that it should have been the land lords responsibility to clean the branches and glass in the backyard before i moved in, so i am hesitant to do it myself, and besides i don't have a truck to haul the crap to the dump. i paid a kid to mowe the lawn once already this year, and it seems to me that it wasn't all that long ago. so i might as well make it worth the $15 the kid charges me to cut the grass this time, especially since it only takes about ten minutes to mowe my little yard.

Canadian Terror Attack Foiled

i have seen this mentioned on several other blogs already this morning but i still feel i should mention it.
the integrated national security enforcement team or INSET which is composed of elements of the RCMP, CSIS, canada border services agency, citizenship and immigration canada, and provincial and municipal police services have arrested twelve men and five people under the age of eighteen. the suspects that were arrested posed a real and serious threat and had plotted terrorist attacks against unspecified targets in southern ontario. three tonnes of ammonium nitrate which is used in making explosives was also recovered by police. the explosion that destroyed the federal building in oklahoma city used only one tonne of ammonium nitrate, so the damage caused by a bomb made by these terrorists could have been significantly worse. although autorities refuse to speculate what the targets for an attack might have been, they will say that the toronto transit authority was not on the list. a CSIS building, the parliament buildings, as well as other highly populated public facilities were likely targets. the suspects are being processed in a brampton court, where security is very tight. police officers armed with M16 assault rifles, MP5 submachine guns, and bomb sniffing dogs manned three command checkpoints and spectators were recquired to remove their shoes.
i wonder what all those people out there that scoffed at the idea of canadian home grown terrorists think now? on ctv news net a few minutes ago they said that all those suspects arrested last night were canadian citizens or residents. although these people may say they were targeting canada because of our involvement in the liberation of afghanistan from the taliban, or because of our friendship with the united states, the truth of the matter is they targeted canada because they don't like our way of life, our free way of life, the canadian way of life.

Farm Stories

i was just talking to my dad on msn tonight and apparently he got his tractor and drills stuck in the mud while seeding today. he operates a 4880 massey ferguson tractor with 320 horse power, pulling a 41 foot bourgault air drill, a 4350 bourgault air cart with a capacity of 350 bushels, and a liquid fertilizer cart being pulled behind that. he got stuck at 3p.m. this afternoon and didn't get out until 830p.m. this evening. in order to get out he had unhook the fertilizer cart from the air cart, and the air cart from the drills. he then had to enlist the aid of the r.m.'s grader and backhoe to pull the stuck equipment out of the muck because none of our other tractors would pull it out. unfortunately he never thought to get any pictures with his camera phone, probably because knew i would get a hold of them if he did and post them online.
also earlier this year dad seeded over a pile of flax straw that he had burned earlier thinking the fire had been extinguished. unfortunately there must have been some embers still burning and he got the grease that has accumulated around the pivoting part of the tractor on fire and nearly lit the whole tractor on fire. he also was at the wrong place at the wrong time twice this spring. once some residents from north of our land at archers lit a bush on our land on fire to drive deer out in order to shoot them. to stop the fire from spreading he attempted to put it out by using his tractor and drills. in the process he melted some of the hoses running from the air tank to the drills. another incident involved two men, one a cop, one a pastor(you would think they would know not to play with guns or fire). they found a flair gun and decided to shoot it into the air. they then went into the pastors farm house for dinner. unbenounced to them the flair ignited our neighbours field and spread to ours where my dad was seeding. again he used his tractor and drills to put out the fire, again melting hoses in the process.
i remember last fall while we were combining oats we got the front end of the combine extremely plugged up around four in the afternoon. the oats were very damp and it was nearly impossible to make any progress unplugging the combine. i thought maybe we should try to light the oats on fire but decided against suggesting my idea because it would probably be summarily rejected by my dad and uncle as stupid. around seven or eight that night they came up with the same idea on their own and lit the oats embedded in the combine on fire. sure enough it worked at getting the combine unplugged and the fire didn't spread. i can think of a few more incidents involving our farm and either getting stuck or things lighting on fire but i feel i have written enough, i will save those stories for another time.

weyburn big muddy by election

there is an upcoming by election in the riding of weyburn big muddy. i hate to miss out on a vote and was curious as to whether or not i would be eligible to vote in this by election? i have only lived in this constituency since march 4th of this year, is there any kind of time frame for which someone has to live in a constituency before they can vote there? anyone knowledgeable on this topic please leave a comment.

STC Youth Pass

STC has again made an excursion youth pass available to people ages 15 to 25 for a one time cost of $100. the pass will allow unlimited travel to all 190 communties that STC provides service to in june, july, and august. although the price has gone up, last year it was only $75, it is still well worth it when you consider that a single return bus fare between regina and saskatoon is $75. i would buy one myself if i didn't already get free unlimited travel with STC, and a 50% discount with Greyhound all year round(HA HA). anyways just thought id mention the pass because i remembered saskboy was wondering if STC would offer it again this year.

Canada gets mention on Aljazeera

canada got a mention on aljazeera today regarding our governments policies on giving refuge to conscientious objectors during the vietnam war and now during the iraq war. one paragraph reads as follows "the Canadian government's present acts of aggression in Afghanistan and Haiti has led tens of thousands of Canadians, including several hundred of former resisters from the Vietnam era, to petition their government to provide refuge for this new generation of conscientious objectors." while aljazeera does praise those canadian citizens protesting the wars, they do refer to our governments acts of aggression in afghanistan and haiti. canada is keeping the peace and restoring democracy in one nation that has never had a democratic election before(afghanistan), and another that has been plagued by corruption and military coups(haiti), i wouldn't call that aggression but i suppose that is where aljazeera and myself have different opinions(amongst other things). just goes to show that no matter how good our intentions are, canada will always be regarded as a western, zionist, colonial power imposing our beliefs on the middle east. we obviously aren't placed in the same ranks as the u.s. and the u.k. especially when it comes to iraq, but we are still on the radar screens of al quaeda, the taliban, and other terrorist organizations none the less.

i have three people interested in renting rooms in my house in saskatoon. gardy, who lives there now, will show the house tomorrow to a guy named bernard, to a girl named heather on the weekend, and another girl named jody wants to see it on the 18th when i am in stoon. hopefully at least one of these people will move in and work out. zrymiak is going over to the house tomorrow night to take pictures with his digital camera so i can put them online to give people a better idea of what the house is like if they are interested in renting. i think once people actually see my house more people will become interested because it is a very nice house, at least in my opinion.
