Christmas is coming!!!

Ya Christmas time is coming. The time where family's and friends get together to spend the day being happy and warm exchanging gifts in a brightly lit warm room laughing and sharing some heck of a good time. I just don't like Christmas because of that but also because of seeing the Christmas hype. Everyone is running around shopping. Christmas malls are jam packed and there are traffic jams on the street. You hear a change in the music with Christmas bells ringing all around you and Christmas music playing on the radio. It is one part of the year that I really like because it just makes you feel really good about yourself that you have the chance to give to friends and share some good times with everyone. Who could forget the Christmas dinner with the nice oh so beautiful turkey as well. Oh Christmas time is a time when I like to eat as much as I can. I am all right with the snow but it is also nice to sit around a nice fire and not have to worry about the cold. I hope that everyone has a very merry Christmas this year.

Winter is here!!!!!!!!

Winter has now struck us with the blanket of the white stuff. In the last couple of days there has been snow falling on the prairies in Canada. I would like to share some common sense tips on how to be a better winter driver. First a good thing to do is to slow down after a snowfall because there is guaranteed to be some fresh ice under all that snow. Leave more time for yourself to get to your job, because of the icy conditions you will have to travel more slowly and if you find yourself almost late for your job you may be trying to speed increasing your chances of an accident. Remember why try to save a minute when that minute you saved could be your last. Plus you will use up extra time arranging to have your vehicle towed and making arrangements to get repairs. Invest in some winter tires, why not if you do a lot of winter driving. It could save your life.

Lots of cars crashing into buildings lately.

I think that it is really to bad that there have been a lot of vehicles ending up in buildings lately. Like I mean it is a very seldom thing but with me watching the news every night it seems that I have been seeing reports of a vehicle in a building at least every 2-3 weeks. Now those are the reported cases. Most of the cases are all over North America and not all of them make it to the national news. So I would say that there is at least a vehicle a day that crashes into a building in Canada, whether it be minor or sever damage costing thousands of dollars in damage. My advice to driver's would be to really focus on what you are doing especially when you are driving in a neighborhood of houses and businesses. Slow down and make sure you practice using the brake and gas pedals right so you do not have to worry about your self panicking if you loose control.

Rhianna speaks out for first time.

Hip Hop singer Rhianna has spoken to the media for the first time since she was beaten by her ex boyfriend Chris Brown. Rhianna said she was extremely deeply in love with brown and thought she was doing really well with him and did not see it coming. She said in a video on You Tube that she felt really stupid and almost selfish to have really gotten that deeply in love with him. Rhianna had to show up in court and testify against Brown. She says that she hopes it never happens again to herself or any girl in a relationship. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQSeYNhWAak

Pan Am Games coming to Toronto. 2015

I watched the news yesterday and found out that Toronto won the right to host the 2015 Pan American Games. It is a nice thing for them because I remember back in 2003 when they bid to host the 2008 summer Olympics but instead Beijing got them instead. The games will cost Toronto 1.4 Billion to host plus they have to pay another 1 Billion to build the athletes villiage. Some people think the money could be spent much better like such as trying to get people back on track after this financial crisis. I think in the end it will pay off because the attention will once again be on Canada after the 2010 winter Olympics. The athletes village will then become apartment complexs and the tourists will give money to the Toronto economy. I cannot wait for this event to happen.

I like my job!!

I like my new job working as a DSW. That stands for direct service worker. What I do is I work for family services. All I do is talk to my client make his supper for him and watch tv. I also clean his house but it is extremely easy. It is way better than working at Burger King because it is not a real hot kitchen and you are not working extremely hard and you get paid way more than at Burger King. Any one who is looking for a fun new challenge should apply to a job like this at their local provincial building. It's extremely fun!!!

3 holes in one

Could you imagine getting a hole in one?? Now imagine 3 holes in one on 5 rounds. Yes you heard right. Adam Sams on a golf course in Nova Scotia got 3 aces. The chances of this happening are almost 1 to 3 Billion. Holy smokes, I don't think I will be able to get one in my life time. Watch out Tiger Woods looks like you have a tough competitor.

I Quit My Job at Burger King.

Yes it is true a couple of weeks ago I quit my job at burger king because I was sick of eating free fast food. Well it wasn't exactly free but the good thing about working in the kitchen there was sometime's when the supervisor was not looking I would sneak some snack bites. HhHaah don't tell anyone!!! Anyways I had had enough of that place because I was only getting nine dollars an hour and there was no benefits except for 50% off foods which I hardly used anyways. A guy there was really anoying to and I hate working with people like that. I have absolutely no regrets about quittting there. I am going to use my Burger King experience as a learning curve for future jobs. To the future, Here I Come!!!!

Nice weather.

The weather has been really nice where I live and in all of canada. I have a feeling that this year will be a really nice autumn and a really mild winter which is good because I really hate the cold harsh winter's. Yes it was really rainy in the summer time but mother nature was saving the best for last and she is showing that right now with at least a week and a half of no rain. I went out to the lake with my friends and we had a blast. I went swimming and It felt really refreshing. The days are getting shorter but at least the weather is really nice. If it is cold my friends and I will go to Tim Horton's for a nice cup of coffee.

Kijiji is awsome!!!

Ok if you have not heard of kijiji I suggest you try it out. First of all Kijiji is a free classifieds add page in Canada and the US. It allows you to put your stuff on there for free from anything to cars, electronics and garage sales. It is like a money save in ways because if you want to sell your item you do not have to pay a cent unless you want more traffic in return for a small fee anywhere from 2 dollars to 20 dollars which could get you on the front page and get you way more traffic selling your item much faster. It also saves money in that if you spend some time on there you could find some really good deals on cars and electronics. The rule is spend some time on kijiji and you will spend alot less on money. I hope you enjoy!!!!

New Blogs

Stephen here!!!! Ok so I have not posted any blogs for a long time so I am going to start getting back into it. In the last week alot has gone on from inside the white house to Taylor swift getting dissed at the vma awards. I like to watch the news and I like to type on the computer as a way to pass the time. I think it burns off some calories for myself and it is pretty relaxing and awsome. I am trying to find another job because I do not get many hours with the one I am doing right now and I need more money to pay for my pilot's license.

My thoughts about traffic light camera's at intersections.

I like traffic light camera's at stop lights. If you don't know what they are they are those funny looking boxes with the big lenses that stand 10 feet off the ground at the intersections where traffic lights are. If a driver goes through a red light or is going over the posted speed limit while going through the intersection than the camera will take a picture of the car's license plate and the fine will be mailed to the owner of the car. They are a good thing because it will keep the driver's feet more light on the accelerator and they will not try to beat the yellow light. When it comes to money driver's do not want to loose money from their pocket book so they will take the extra time to play it safe. This also makes our streets more safe so there will be less car accidents.

What I have not liked recently is that they are trying to get rid of the camera's in the city of Winnipeg because they are saying that it violates peoples privacy. They are filing a 200 million class action lawsuit against the city. I think that is not right and it is a horrible thing to do because if they take away the traffic light camera's than that just means that more people will start speeding again and trying to beat that red light camera at the intersections. If there is no diciplinary action for people's wrong's anymore than that means that people will be driving more dangerously because they know that they have no money to loose now. It's not like the fines were not put to good use. They went to the city and that was used for programs and activities and stuff run around the city. I will be quite angry if the people against the camera's win because it is just not right to break the laws in this case. expecially if it could mean taking someone's life just because people did not slow down for the red light intersection.

Yesterday was my birthday.

Yay it's that time of year again. My birthday!!! This year it was my champagne birthday. I turned 22 on the 22nd of July. I am treated like a king every year for my birthday. I always have a big cake, usually an ice cream cake and my parents are around me and wishing me all the best. My parents took me out for supper yesterday and that was really good. I had a ram burger and fries which was just delicious. Then the waitress gave me a free piece of cake because it was my birthday. I had a sip of champagne but I did not have much because I am not a drinker. I would have written this yesterday but I was way too busy celebrating with my family.

My thoughts on the Chris Brown appology

A couple of days ago on Youtube and on his website, Chris brown said he was deeply sorry for assaulting his ex girl friend Rhianna. Chris Brown and Rhianna are no longer dating and do you blame her for dumping Chris?? When I saw the pictures of Rhianna's face after the assault she looked like a total wreck. How dare he do this to a sweet princess like her I thought. Chris and Rhianna were dating for about a year or so and seemed to be quite happy together traveling to different countries around the world. I saw one of them where Rhianna was in a pink bikini being carried by brown in a pool in mexico. Man is he a lucky guy I thought to have such a pretty and very good singer as his chick. I thought Chris Brown had some pretty good songs out but I would say that the assault has totally wrecked his career. He has lost some of his endorsement deals from sponsor's and other fan's are outraged just like I am. Even if everyone forgave him I would say he has at least lost 30% of his fan base from the incident. I just want to know what chris was thinking when he was beating up Rhianna. Did it give you pleasure chris?? Did you have a conscience that was telling you this was wrong to do?? Or was this a thrill of a lifetime? Now Chris said that his family has had a history of family violence and that Chris had grown up with some violence around his house. Chris that's water under the bridge. If you were a real man you would forget all of that and treat this very lucky girl that you had like a princess. The way a girl like Rhianna should be treated. Now you could pay for it with your sentence.

Rhianna and her high school friend are back together again. Now I think that is the path to go for Rhianna because I am sure that this guy will treat her better than Chris will because the guy was a normal high school guy and was probably good friends with Rhianna. I hope she has a good relationship with this guy.

Here's a cool way to try and rob a gas station.

Ok I know it's wrong to steal from a gas station or any kind of convenience store but here's just a thought about it for fun. Robberies at gas stations are quite heard of these days especially with the recession. You may want to think about it a few times before thinking you are going to beat the law because there is a good chance that you are going to get caught. Ok here is how it works. You or a good friend apply at the target store to work. Get the night shift and say that you want to work alone. Work there for a few days to make it look like you really like the job and that you want to stay awhile. Now tell your friend the night, the time of night and your plan on how you are going to do it. The employee friend is working alone a dark night around 11:30 pm. The robber walks in (who is really the friend of the employee of the store) holds up a gun, and demands cash. The employee pretends to not know the person and gets really scared. Then he reaches into the till a few moments later and gives the theif friend most of the cash in the till. Then the thief flee's and the employee pretends to be really scared. The employee calls the business owner and says that the store has been robbed and that he was so scared that he does not think he could ever take an experience like that ever again and says he must quit. If the plot goes through then you and your theif friend would have made some quick easy cash.

If you are thinking of doing this than I would suggest that you stop right away because you have a good chance of getting caught. Just keep this as a thought.

Slow down on the streets.

It is summer time and every one is going out. Whether they go out the the bar or to the beach it seems they want to jack up their fun level by speeding. Speeding is not cool. You are putting your self and other's at risk. Say you hit an innocent motorist and damaged their car and possibly hurt the occupant. How would you feel. You could almost compare that to sitting someone down in a chair and hitting them with a ball bat because that is almost like what you are doing.

Is it just me or has there been an awful lot of car's crashing through house walls lately. On local news yesterday there was a car that was speeding down a residential street lost control and crashed through the walls of a house causing 80,000 in damage. The occupants of the house were very scared and the driver of the vehicle and his girlfriend fled the scene. They were eventually caught and charged accordingly. In the last few months I have heard of at least 3 vehicles going through houses in Winnipeg alone. Some one is going to get majorly hurt or killed if people keep speeding for no reason. So please slow down. Not only will it save on fuel but it will keep you out of trouble with the law.

How to save water in your bath room.

Everyone likes hot long shower's right. It feels like a message on your back and the hot water feels good and is good for the body. However with the rise of energy and water going up I will tell you how you can save some energy and water in your bath room. When you first step into the shower wash your hair right away to get the shampoo washed down the drain. Next put the plug in the drain to fill up the tub while you are having your shower. It feels good on your feet and it will help your wallet out to. When you are all done your shower keep the hot water in the tub. You paid for that water and the energy to heat that water so keep it there. The hot water will heat up the other rooms and the bathroom so energy wont go to waste. After several hours the water will be cool again but still don't drain it. Use it for flushing your toilet for free. Most toilet's take 2-3 gallons just to do a single flush. Here's what to do to get free flush's. Lift the toilet seat lid and take a small pail and fill it with water from the bathtub. Next dump that water slowly into the toilet bowl so that the poo in the bowl does not splash around to much. Pour gently for the next 3 small pail fulls and any after that pour really fast, it will clean the sides of the toilet and make it really clean. How this works is every time the toilet bowl gets to full of water the water from before will flush into the sewer. Sorta acts like a vaccumme. That is how to save money around your bathroom.

American Idol final 2

American Idol is now down to the final 2 contestants. Adam Lambert and Kris Allen are the final 2 contestants. No I do not know who is going to win but based on what I have seen over the years on both the American and Canadian show's, the underdog seems to win. That saying I think that Kris Allen will win it because Adam Lambert is the better one and will probably be more famous and popular than Kris so America wants to give kris the chance to be more well known. It's just like the same situation of last year on American Idol. David Archuleta was the more popular singer even though David Cook won the title. David Archuleta has a bigger fan base and more cd sales. Archuleta even has more subscriber's on YouTube than David Cook has even though Cook joined before Archuleta. So that is why David Cook got the title last year. Just so he would not be left out in a way and so he would be remembered.

Yes I think that Kris Allen will win it this year. Not saying that Adam Lambert is not good. I like adam and I would say that he is a better singer than Kris Allen but to keep Kris in the popular ranks I think America will vote him the big title.

Blog Tv is a cool site.

Ok so I discovered blog tv about a month ago and got an account. I didn't use it for a while because I had forgotten my password. I found it again so I am back in business. I went on it yesterday and joined a room where you can chat to the broadcaster and the other users watching the live show. All the broadcaster's are really cool because they mention your name and they ask you what is up and all that so it really makes you feel special in a way. It is sort of like msn but only you get to see the person you are talking to and this person could be anywhere in the world where blogtv is used. The broadcaster could even give you operator's priviledge where you get to ask questions to other user's and write on the very top of the page like a title. It is just so much fun to use. As soon as I get a web cam I will start broadcasting and making my own live show's!!

Kon Artist's pray on senior's

There are some pretty dirty people in this world with really dirty idea's who take advantage of the seniors. Worst of all they pretend to be the seniors grandchild in desperate need who is not and is someone else.

This is how they do it. These thieves who live in Canada call these seniors down in the states and tell them it's their grandson mike calling etc. They say hey how are you? I need your help badly I have been in a car accident in Montreal Canada and have no where to go!! Can you send me some money!! The Grandpa asks how much and the thief says $3400 to cover the cost of damages!! The Grandpa then asks why don't you tell your parents about this instead of coming to me and the thief says I don't want to tell them right now, I want to tell them in person. Can I come to you in help right now Grandpa so you can help me out first. So the Grandpa sent the money to the fake grandson through a money telegram. The next day around the same time the thief calls again saying he needs even more money because the other party of the car accident was going to sue him!! The thief asks for the same amount of money but the grandfather says he can only send $2500 so he does so.

In the next few days the poor grandfather found out he was scammed and calls authorities and Canadian police. Though he lost his money he was not going to give up trying to help other's from becoming a target of the same sick game. He phoned the newspaper's the banks and went on radio to make as many people and seniors aware of it as possible and that turned out to be a good thing!

A Grandma was in the same situation with the thief pretending her grandson was in Canada in a terrible accident. She asked what are you doing there?? Aren't you in the states!! The thief said he was in Canada looking for work. When the lady went to the bank to try and give the fake grandson the money. The bank teller who had been informed of the previous accident told her about the possibility of a scam and stopped her just in time.

My thoughts on this is first I am wondering how did the thieves know the names of these grandparents grandchildren?? I have to wonder if the thieves had to have known the grandchildren!! Secondly I am wondering how these guys faked the voices of the grandchildren!! To help narrow down the possible suspects I think police should find out who the grandchildren were hanging out with!!

If you are ever not sure or it sounds to good to be true than don't do it and call the better business guys!! Better safe than sorry!!

100 days of Obama!!

Hey could you believe that Obama has already been in office for 100 days now!! Where have the days gone?? It just seemed like yesterday that he was getting sworn in at the presidential inaugaration. I like Obama because well He is a good family guy himself and cares for the people of his country and is trying to make a big impact!!!! He is trying so hard to help everyone out in these difficult times right now!!

Hey don't look now everyone is already partying on the street. Well the media anyways trying to make a cool story on the big day!! Did you watch the daily show last night??? I thought it was hilarious how Sam Bee was on the streets of New York while her co worker's were in outa control planes, the north pole and the middle east.

The media were giving different grades of how they would rate Oboma. Most gave a b+ or b-. Even Bo the first dog is happy after snacking on a rich doggy bone!!!!!

Hey What does Obama call his dog's meal of dog food beef and a big drink of water?? A Com-Bo!! hahah.

Congratulations Obama on 100 days in office!!!!

Electric is the future

I have an electric bike that I really enjoy riding. I bought it last year at Canadian Tire for $400 after taxes. I have been taking it where ever I need to go or just out for a bike ride. This bike has a motor which you could either ride just using the motor or you could pedal and use the motor at the same time. Charging the battery full only costs a few cents and you could go for over an hour of continuous usage before it needs recharging. I have become a bit of a celebrity in my small town lately because it is not everyday that someone see's an electric bike going down the street. Everyone knows it is a different bike because when the motor is running everyone could hear it. It is not a loud motor but it makes a noise just like any moving gear thingy would.

Now I did not buy this thing to be lazy and not pedal anymore. I bought it to have some fun on it while trying out something new that no one has ever seen before. I hope to promote kind of bike or any other electric transportation in the future because it is cheap to run and it is very healthy for our air and our planet. I hope that gasoline vehicles will be off the road in the future because the price of fuel is just too expensive and the internal combustion engine is very inefficient and it pollutes our air. Besides we all want to save a little bit of money and what better way than using electricity to do it. It is very powerful stuff. Some cars on electricity could go from 0 to 60mph in just a few seconds!! These cars are rare and expensive but once the supply is more out than it will come way down in price.

It's just like my bike!! When this type of bike first came out it cost $700, but now it has come down in price because more people are buying it. The only down side is If you run out battery dry of power than you have to pedal with no electric power which is extremely hard to do because you are pedaling against the chain attached to the electric motor which has a lot of friction so if you have a long way to go you could get pretty tired. Also the battery could only last around 150 charges. A replacement battery right now cost's $130. It will come down as more people buy it though.

I think everyone should buy one because they are so much fun zipping down the street on. When you have a newly charged batter at full throttle in a steady peddle you could reach 19 mph!! Hold on tight!! This thing rips!!! from stand still to full speed with peddling, less than 2 seconds. I swear this bike rips.

Take a break and buy one! I stongly recommend it!!!!!

I like Twitter!

Everyone should try twitter out!! I like it because you can keep in touch with friends. It is sort of like facebook status updates but only the updates are shared with the world instead of your close friends. You can find your friends and follow them and your friends follow you or you can find new internet friends and follow them. Twitter is also a good way to advertise. A bakery down in the states advertises when ever they have fresh bread they tweet it and then the customer's come for the fresh bread. Any other business could advertise too. Even stock quotes are now on twitter! Best of all it's free!!!

I Shake Baby on IPhone

Apple IPhone used to have a game from the apple store called I Shake Baby. It is where the user would shake the phone to stop a crying baby on the screen. The game got public outrage and so much critizism that apple was forced to remove it right away. The game was sick because it is like promoting shaken baby syndrome which is sick because baby's of any sort should not be shaken because their brains are so fragile that one shake could kill a baby or serious brain damage. My thoughts are that whoever thought of this was sick to the head and not thinking straight!!

Thoughts on American Idol top 7

I watched American Idol last night and as usual it was a pretty good show. Lil Rounds went first and sang her song and the judges commented that it wasn't the performance for her. Lil was crying after these comments and Simon Cowell noticed as he always does. He commented that this may have been her last performance. I have to agree with him. I am not sure who is going to make it to the top 3 but I have to say that I do not think Lil will make it. A big surprise to me has been Adam Lambert. After his performance of ring of fire several weeks ago I thought he was going to be out there and since then every week I feel that he keeps getting more comfortable and he is now like a pro. I think he might go all the way.

My Thoughts on Susan Boyle.

I've seen the hit video of Susan Boyle on YouTube. As of today April 21 2009 it has over 35 million hits on the most viewed video of her.

I like her. I think she is a great example of a success story just discovered. I am glad that she proved Simon Cowell, the other judges and the whole world wrong after her performance. Everyone was laughing at her before because of her appearance. You should not judge a book by it's cover.

During and after her song I dreamed a dream by the Les Miserables everyone was giving her a round of applause and was enjoying it. Everyone one was in tears and was laughing at themselves because she had indeed proven everybody wrong.

I think Susan Boyle is what the world needs. She is a big rags to riches story. I will definetly buy her first cd and I bet it will go multi platinum.

She will never be poor or unemployed again. She has said she has never been kissed before. Well I don't know kinda odd for a 48 year old never to have been kissed before.
