Every night around supper time I get the same call: "Hello, we are calling about your credit card. Although there is not a problem with the interest rate you are currently paying..." When I press the 1 button to talk to the call centre flunky I get cut off....I am getting sick of this harrassment. I am putting my name on the do not call list....so you fockers better not call me no more! And if I do manage to actually talk to one of you....get ready for an earfull.

WTF Guy

I'm getting tired of my friend using my computer for his gay/and trans-porn...and asking me and my boyfriend what gay friendly spots to hit in your trip to montreal (where you say to your girlfriend its a business trip) You are always bugging us to come out to the local gay clubs with us....this isn't what bothers me. You won't come out and want to lie to yourself that's fine, but don't lie to your girlfriend who loves you to know end. You know she's going to think somethings wrong because you don't have sex with her and you are obviously so flaming its unreal. How doesn't she know? Do yourself and her a favor and come out and break it off with her. Not only do you lie to yourself you lie to everyone, especially this girl who is falling in love with you. She's going to find out from someone else's lips and it's going to really hurt her more than you telling her. I'm getting so tired of your Drama!

A very tired but at least self respecting gay man!

What is with the elevators at the QEII? I was trapped on one for 20 minutes at the New Halifax infirmary. I was told by the security that the technician was notified and that they have no idea when he would get there. After 3 more calls about 5 minutes apart he could offer me no other information. We were getting the feeling that we could be there for hours. Yeah so big deal I was stuck on the elevator there are worse things that could happen for sure. I had mentioned it to a nurse the next day and she told me she was stuck on the 11th floor on the Victoria building for 30 minutes and the phone inside didn’t work. Finally after 30 minutes the big guy who was on there with her pried the door open with his hands. The thing is it is well known fact known by many of us who work at the hospital that the elevators for the entire hospital are complete crap. If you have been there surely you have experienced a burnt out floor light button. Keep pressing that button thinking you haven’t pushed it hard enough…nope, just burnt out. Not sure if they get replaced and keep burning out or if they just don’t give a shit and can’t be bothered replacing them. Either way it looks like neglect to me. Did I mention how filthy they look? The Infirmary that is, the VG site is clean for some reason. It is just a hospital after all. No important people to impress I guess. I don’t think this would be acceptable if it were say a Hotel elevator.

So I'm seeing all these anti Dion adds, I thought I'd try one...

Stephen Harper wants to allow 16 clean lakes to be turned into toxic waste dumps..

Stephen Harper wants to give as many of Canada's natural resources as he can...

Stephen Harper doesn't care if you're Canadian, you'll still be extradited/ held indefinitely without trial...

Most of all he believes that a few minor tax breaks are enough to keep people from question what he's actually doing... What's scarier is it's working..

I went to the Elton John concert on Friday night... it was phenomenal! Sir Elton is a classic and is still in VERY fine form. His voice, scrumptious... his piano playing, brilliant!

As we were thoroughly enjoying the show, my sister nudges me to show me what her 'neighbour' is doing... busily berry-picking and what's worse, she never applauded, let alone stand with the rest of us for the countless ovations! I really have to wonder why you bothered to attend the concert... you could have donated or sold your ticket to the MANY who are devoted fans and would have enjoyed the show! I'm just grateful that the majority of the audience were there to ENJOY and show their appreciation to Sir Elton for his wonderful talents! Next time, leave your crack-berry at home... or better yet, STAY HOME yourself!

Sick of Crack-Berry Rudeness

Ms. May graced our presence in Halifax recently arriving in a 22 car special election train in order to greet 80 supporters. I hope she threw in a train food lunch for them and offered pillows and blankies... my color wheel looks a lot different apparently than hers. Her ticket appears to be not the only thing that was punched.

Anyone else think the 'Horton hears a Who' domestic violence joke in Family Guy tonight was disgusting, or is it just me?

I consder myself a fan of the show and can normally laugh at the questionable or cringeworthy stuff because its usually couched in actual jokes based on unprovable stereotypes (that in most cases are intended to take the piss out of the stereotype itself).

This one was just in bad taste. There is no humor in the issue 'joke' ineptly referenced.

What does anyone else think?

I was stoked when I found out that Hedley was headlining a free concert on the Grand Parade on Saturday night. I even went down there early and listened to some okay artists, in support of democracy, just so I could get a decent spot near the stage. However, as soon as Ill Scarlett left and the setup started for Jacob and his Crew, people started pushing forward, and tapping me to say "excuse me" to let them through. KUDOS to the lady beside me who had the nerve to say "where are you going? Because i've been standing here for 2 hours and I'm not about to let a tall person ahead of me so that I can't see". Oh, and to the girls beside me? If you can't sit your fat butt on the rail, DON'T keep trying. You fell into me at least a dozen times until the security guard told you to stop. And the blonde bitch in front of me? I saw your text messages.. if you hate Hedley so much, why didn't you go home so that I didn't have your tall blond head standing in front of me the whole time. Seriously, people.. it's a free concert, but if you aren't going to enjoy it let those of us who will enjoy it do so in peace.

p.s - if you lost your birth control pack, I turned it into the police. You still had 3 weeks left, I hope you get it replaced.

The Night I Will Remember

What I REALLY HATE is when retail workers put those stick-forever price tags directly on the product you are buying...

If you are really lucky and the product is fresh, it might be just a simple peel and toss, but that is the rare instance...

So when I buy a $285 Zildjian cymbal, it really fucking annoys me when I wind up with half-paper half-dried-glue artifacts on an otherwise flawless finish..?? What a shame that the craftsmanship is so minimized by the entire retail process.

Very Particular...

To select security guards working the big show a few weeks back:

I hope someone makes you feel as shitty someday as the several patrons you belittled that night.

Just because you're a HIRED security guard doesn't give you the right to be a fucking douchebag. Your job is not to do everything in your power to prevent people from seeing a show they spent $40 to see.

I hope someone meets you in the Creatine aisle of GNC and drop kicks you in the throat for your behaviour.

And when they do, I hope you can't remember the address of the house you lived at 2 years ago, and they don't let you back in the mall to get your jacket.
