We like who we like and we hate who we hate, but we're oh so easily swayed.
is doing a lot of cool things, but Buzz is not one of them. Sorry Google, it's shitty, and you're way behind other time gobbling "Listen to what I'm thinking about right now" sites. Bam! That's ironic. This time Ryan, I know it's a sure thing. If you want to get rid of Buzz, there's a good site to take a look at. Only now did I realize that my title is not original at all, and in fact it was most likely plagiarized by my subconscious. Glad to not have Facebook anymore, and never tried to be a Twitterer, Tweeter, whatever they want to be called. For the record, I don't know anyone that Tweets, and I am very thankful. One can only assume that people that twitter are desperately seeking some form of connection to other people that is not being fulfilled in real life. I'm looking at you Joe.
Oh Olympics, you're hilarious. I watched the opening ceremonies today, which may come as a shock to most since the only people that really want to watch that are the 60,000 plus at the venue, but I was multitasking. As these countries walked in, I couldn't stop thinking about all the conflicts and wars going on all around the world. It just seemed like this Olympic spirit they were trying really hard to project wasn't having the desired effect on me that they would have hoped I guess. This facade of everyone in the world setting aside their differences and singing kumbaya (As O'Leary would say) was epitomized when they showed Harper. He cracks me up. For some reason he reminds me of a Ken Doll. We send him to other countries on diplomatic missions and they play around with him and laugh at him with his goofy hair. It's official, it's late and things are spiraling. Going to continue this tomorrow when I'm thinking clearly and have successfully watched the Google presentation on CBC. I want to know why workers of Google are leaving it to compete with it damnit!
Arsenal always cheat to beat us. Chelsea always cheat to beat us. Man United always cheat to beat us. We won't win a title until we can cheat to beat them. Soccer is a terrible sport when you really think about it. It's not about which teams are better, but rather how many breaks your team has gotten over the season. Too many deciding factors outside of the players control. This particular picture was taken during our 1-0 loss to Arsenal this weekend. Yes, the ball hits Fabredouches arm right on the 18 yard line. Penalty? No penalty? Still should have been a free kick at least. What's interesting is earlier in the game Liverpool players were warned that if their hands came above their waste they would get a yellow card. Did you know Prem refs make a crapload of money? 30,000 to 60,000 pounds a game. It's crazy considering how shitty they are. Can't wait for the first AI ref who doesn't give in to crowding and persuasion.
We start this massive text off with a bang, I'm learning something new! I've decided to finally just get on it and learn the standard. I never want to be one of those people in an emergency situation where a friend breaks their leg and they say "Here's my keys, we need to go to the hospital" and my response is "Awww. You know what, it's actually really funny, I was going to learn how to drive standard but didn't".
Anyways, my Dad is a different story, the normally calm, reserved guy turns into a rambling spastic creature. The most notable thing that happened was a block from my house,the dreaded hill with a car behind. Long story short, I stalled like 7 or 8 times in a row and the guy behind me didn't go by me, and my Dad turned into "Stuttering Stanley" as I called him which I believe is from some movie I like. Anyways, it was ridiculous, and when I go to the house I stalled in pulling into the garage as did my classic quit move. "Fuck it. I'm done. You park it" and got out and on my way noticed the car smoking haha. I was so giddy after my rage passed though and me and my Dad had a really good laugh as I made fun of him for turning into Stanley (And no, for the record my Dad does not stutter).
First day of handing out snow shoveling flyer went super great! I stayed up all night last night because I couldn't stop thinking about how nervous I was to be doing it. This experience of going to people's houses without a costume on made me fully aware that I'm fucked up in the head and at some point I'm going to need to address this stuff in some form. To sum up, I hit about 70 houses, and have no callbacks thus far which I'm kind of relieved about actually. I feel like I've dodged some kind of bullet, and I'm thinking "What the hell were you thinking?" about this whole situation.
My life is very similar to the Matrix. I interact with two people, all the time, and that's it. Those are the only people I talk to ever face to face. Then I venture out on excursions to stores and stuff, and that's when I'm in the Matrix. All these random people who I'll never talk to, most I won't interact with, and lot's I won't even notice. Bizarre. I really do feel like I'm in some pointless computer generated world that lack's realistic A.I. and A.E. Nothing I do or say matters, and consequently nothing anyone else does or says matters. I don't think I'm the only one living inside my own head, others are just better at pretending.
I think the only one that's really difficult is the football one seeing as the season isn't done and no one likes a quitter. Popmundo would be the second hardest because of the time and money I've put into it. Gmail would be hard just because of that "What in case?" factor, but we all know that never happens anyway right? Facebook... Yeah, cut. I'll probably deactivated as always and return eventually because that's what we do.
This is the funniest thing that's happened to me in a long time. I got to argue with some douche writer for Soccernet, and is the Liverpool correspondent apparently. I have no idea how this guy is the correspondent for Liverpool, let alone a writer on any website. It all started when I read this from his post (To those who are not familiar with Liverpool, this is a pointless post to be reading).
I think if anyone took the time to think about what my opinion on art would be, they would say "He's not into it. He thinks it sucks". That's not entirely true. I think that most of the art I'm exposed to sucks. I believe that there is stuff that blows my mind out there, like this photo, but it's just not all that common to have really crazy artists in Alberta. If you were truly wanting to be an artist, would you ever consider Alberta to be your place for inspiration? I highly doubt it.
So I drink to stay warm,
I have).Anyways, the weekend went smoothly, and things were fine with all the parties I had anticipated problems with, but then Monday came. I ended up stopping over at my Grandparents house with my cousins to drop off a pie, and the warm reception quickly turned to a bomb being set off in my heart. The fallout however stayed internal, I assume being caged by my mind's knowledge that anything other would just resultin really awkward family dynamics. My Grandpa basically decided to be extremely rude to me, and it's definitely the first time this kind of thing has ever happened to me, and I was totally offguard. At least my cousin Dan was there to witness it, so I could at least relish in the knowledge that it wasn't just me that thought it was uncalled for. He basically said (In my polite synopsis) that he didn't believe me that I was really looking for work. In the past, this wouldn't have bothered me much, because it would have been true. This modern me however, has been trying fucking hard to turn his life into something worth living. Long story short, I went home stunned and incredibly dejected. I didn't know what the fuck to do, and after several hours of painful thinking, sleep finally subjected me to it's will.
Not before making it a playlist endearingly titled "Fuck you" on my I-Pod. I can't let things go. I don't know how regular people do it. They say time heals everything, but I think there should be a time limit on that theory because it's years and years after and I still think a lot about it. 
First off, a question is posed, who is more deserving of a "Most Irritating" award. Jimmy Fallon or Amir and Streeter from Pranked. My vote is Amir and Streeter, it's actually impossible for me to listen to them speak during their little interlude's between clips on their show. I started muting their sections, but after a while you can't stand to even look at them. I really enjoyed their Youtube video's of pranking each other, but their attempt at TV is just awful. There's actually a prank on Amir on the net where they say Amir is really bad, and kick him out of these shots for some show, and he get's really upset. Well, he actually is just THEE WORST. Look up "Pranked" if you don't believe me and try to bare it. Jimmy Fallon is equally irritating to me, but at least hearing him speak doesn't cause the ears to want to detach from the head. With him, it's more likely that he'll cause the heart to feel bad for him, and my brain to think "My God. How is he still on TV". The good news about both situations is that I can just choose not to watch them! Yay!

Family coming to visit brings a great deal of anxiety. It's the reason I'm up at 4:26am writing this. I didn't over sleep yesterday, and got up around 9:00am. This is the only thing I can think of for why I'm up, because I'm certainly not entertained or enthralled in anything which is the usual culprit. Last night I had troubles going to sleep, because I couldn't help but getting raging mad in my body and mind thinking about how I was going to be raging mad in my body and mind this weekend. It's like I told my parents when I declined to go to my cousins wedding. I'm at an age where I should be able to say and do as I please, and let the consequences be my own and so forth. This has me worried about this weekend, because I may just go off on some people and make things really awkward. Though, in all likelyhood, I'll do what I always do, chicken out and head for the nearest coffee shop until they leave. What's worse than being around a lot of strangers to me? A bunch of family that want to talk to you, and about you. I can't think of anything more unbearable to me. Actually, starting a new job will be worse for stress. Whatever, we're done here.

Okay seriously, check this guys name out. He's in the Premiership for Hull City now. Count the characters, takes forever for me. Keep going over it, but my eyes wander to the green and black lines and I forget where I'm at.
