25 Days till Xmas

It’s December 1st. Again.

Already.

Sheesh, it’s been quite the year. Aside from the snow this morning, it doesn’t really feel like Christmas.

When I was a kid, there would be crazy snow all November, everyone has Christmas lights up, Christmas sales and events were everywhere, and the general Christmas spirit made everything feel right.

Funny enough, I was out of the country last year, and despite no snow, Christmas was amazing there. However, it wasn’t as multicultural as it is here in Toronto.

Now it’s about selling stuff. Not even buying stuff like a few years back. It’s completely about the sale.

Bleh.

Why is it so hard to find anyone that knows shit about something?

Maybe a month and a half ago I ordered a new car stereo, it was one of those double sized ones that have a touch screen, GPS, and all that.  I figured since I spend a lot of time driving it’ll be a nice upgrade.

I had this stereo sitting there dying to be put in, however since my car isn’t your typical every day car, I wanted to make sure I can find an installer that has some experience with install on this car, and can provide me with the perfect install.

Anyhow, I wake up this Saturday, and take it to this place that does installs. the guy assures me they have worked on this car before, and it should be no problem, he will even do it himself. When I go to bring my car around, there is this young guy that tells me he is going to install it, and instead of bringing inside, he’s going to do it outside in the back of the building.

This kid pulls out my radio, cuts up my console, cuts out my screw points, and THEN looks at the stereo, which at this point doesn’t fit. He tells me, “this isn’t going to fit sorry”.  He get’s his boss, his boys says he will get it to fit.  His boss looks it it, and then goes outside. The kid says to me, it’s not going to fit, jams everything back in the console and goes inside leaving me with my cut out console pieces, and a bunch of mess.  I said to myself, why did I take my car to Hi Tec Audio Video in Brampton and let them butcher my console?

The problem is that now-a-days, no one knows shit about anything. People get jobs that they are not qualified for and have no experience in. The kid at the stereo shop said he has done over 10 cars like mine.  Well then why didn’t you know it was a shallow bay in the console, and check the stereo size before you cut everything up?  Then you tell my my stereo was longer, then we measured it against a Kenwood, and it was the same size.

You go to Best Buy, and the people in the computer department don’t know shit about computers, the TV people know shit all about TV’s, and you trust these people for advice?

I took my car into two shops recently, the first guy didn’t know shit, because when I asked him for quotes on doing work, he expected that I would be stupid enough to leave my car there for the whole day, and he would tell me at the end of his 10 hour day how much it was.  Are you serious?  The other guy just got out of college, and his other mechanic was probably his brother from high school. I thought I was back in my grade 12 shop class.

It has come to the point where I don’t trust anyone working on my car or motorcycle unless they are old guys (40+) with years of experience in the field, and years of experience on my model.  I will find write ups and reviews on the internet before I go to Best Buy and have some kid tell me about shit he doesn’t know that he read off the box.

Don’t get me started on customer service either. Half of these people do the jobs for the money, and don’t care about going a quality job, or making you happy.  I recently paid  2 hours worth of cash for doing something to my car which took them 20 minutes. Because they had no clue, and quoted me wrong.  Instead of charging me the right price for the amount of work that was done, they knocked of $20, and said it’s a standard rate. They should have knocked off the other $40, and even just charged me for the hour at the most.  Mind you I had another $1000 worth of work to be done, and they aren’t going to get it.  It’s too bad that making a quick $70 off of me was a better idea for them than keeping it fair, and making $1000 later on.

There are just too many idiots that think that they went to school for a few years they know everything about everything, which they know shit all about jack shit.

Jon and Nadya Plus 14 plus another 8 on Weekends

Octomom Is Hot For Jon Gosselin – [myfoxphilly.com]

PHILADELPHIA – Octomom Nadya Suleman says Jon Gosselin is hot and she has a crush on the reality TV dad.

Suleman spoke with Radar Online about the 32-year-old former “Jon & Kate” star, and she also had some life advice for Kate Gosselin.

“I wish everyone would leave her alone. I’m sure she trusts herself and trusts that she’s strong enough to handle it.”

But her best comments were about Jon Gosselin.

“I kind of have a crush on Jon Gosselin,” Suleman said. “I think he’s hot!”

Suleman has 14 children, including her octuplets. Jon Gosselin has eight children, including his sextuplets.

Make babies and profit!

(se: I would definitely tune in to watch “Jon and Nadya plus 22“. It’s like one of those crazy Mormon families, except for Nadya being bat shit crazy, and Jon being an attention whore. Imagine the crazy antics that you’ll get to see.  Also picture the look on Kate’s face when Jon goes to pick up his kids for a custody visit in a school bus.

In reality we’re all waiting for Jon, Kate, and Nadya to have their kids taken away and them all locked up in some mental ward for being retarded unfit parents.  Using your kids as a gateway to fuel your own fantasies of being a celebrity are weak. I’m looking at you too Billy Ray Cyrus..)

Balloon Boy a hoax. We all knew it and were waiting for this!

DiManno: Balloon boy bursts dad’s bubble [thestar.com]

Famous. Infamous. The distinction doesn’t matter any more. The Heenes got what they lusted for: Worldwide TV face-time, a pathetic affirmation of their otherwise insignificant existence, star billing in manufactured melodrama. Mission accomplished. All it took was an aluminum foil balloon that resembled a humongous hangover ice-bag, a conspiracy of pretense forced on their children and the complicity of a credulous media contaminated by infotainment pressures. And cops too, they were in on the sham, albeit and allegedly somewhat belatedly, mounting what they now claim was a tit-for-tat sting in order to elicit the truth.

Hope you get a good raping in jail fuck face!

(se: Ok.  Everyone with a half a brain knew this was a hoax.  When normal people get their dose of Reality TV stardom they could never get back to their normal dull lives.  Now this was a stupid hoax anyways, and these people are definitely nut cases.  The best part is that your son screwed it up for you.  It’s probably God’s way of punishing you for naming him Falcon.  Only hippies and Native Indians name their kids after animals.  You know what I would like to see?  I’d like to see the family have to pay back every cent that was spent by the authorities on this, and jail time for the parents.  Like 10 years jail time.  That will teach them  a valuable lesson! Bastards)

Keanu, you are NOT the father. Crazy Bitch, no instant lottery for you.

Test shows Keanu isn’t the father, lawyer says

A Toronto lawyer representing Keanu Reeves says a paternity test has proved the actor never sired a child with Karen Sala, the Barrie woman who is seeking millions in spousal and child support.

Another crazy bitch trying to win the baby daddy lottery.

Unlike the alleged fathers who test negative on The Maury Povich Show, Reeves didn’t show relief at the results, said his lawyer. “He was confident the tests would prove he was not the father. He never had any doubt,” said Lorne Wolfson.

Sala alleged she had a sexual relationship with Reeves before, during and after her marriage. In May, she told the Star she believed the actor may have fathered one or more of her four children, who are now in their 20s. She said Reeves used to buy them Christmas gifts when they were younger.

She was seeking $3 million a month in spousal support, retroactive to November 2006, as well as $150,000 a month in child support, going back to June 1988.

(se: Wooooow!  Did you see this bitch?  Bitch looks crazy, and hella ugly as well.  You know that Keanu never ever touched this bitch.  What a wack job.  You know that Keanu has much better taste then that.  Even while drunk and looking for a one night stand, AND if he every got that desperate I’m sure he would have wrapped his dick and her face in garbage bags.  It’s funny how so many women always try to take the easy way out by suing unknown men for child support.  It’s sad.  Especially when you spend all your time talking about equal rights and shit, but soon as you can rip some cash, or a house away from your ex, or baby daddy, you’re all for it.  Sitting on your ass scamming is no way to go through life bitch.  It always surprises me that more women don’t get OJ’d.)

The Gold for Cash Scam

Feeling rich? Gold is over $1000 an ounce. So, if you hold on to your gold you could have some extra assets to hold on to, that is, if you don’t fall into the scam of selling your gold for cash.

It's so simple, that you won't care you're being ripped off!

I think every second commercial on TV is some company wanting to buy your gold for the “highest amount”. Are you going to get the current price of gold? No. How about $1000 an ounce? No. Try a small percentage. There is no profit in being honest and fair with you.

Maybe you will get a quarter or at the most half of what your gold is worth. Why? Well, with the economy going the way it is, these predators are hoping that you inherited some gold, or have gold you got as a gift, and gold that you don’t wear, mixed with being naive about the whole concept, and ignorant as to what your gold is really worth.

I guess if you’re being sucked into something like this, it’s probably because you need some extra money to fund your drug habit, and selling your mothers earrings seem like a great idea, because even though they are worth $500, you only need $20 to get high, and $40 seems like an awesome deal.

It’s a win/lose situation.  They win, you lose.

GTAM: The fall of an Internet forum

Hi.  Welcome to the Internet.

As the Internet has grown, it’s gone from geeks talking about computers, to everyone and their mothers talking about everything and anything.  Including their mothers.  A very popular use of the Internet has been forums. If you like paintball, there is a forum for that. If you are pregnant, fat or have cancer, there are forums for that too. Everything has a forum.  Car forums are one of the most popular it seems, and yes so are the ones for motorcycles.

What you wish you were doing.

Now if you are in the GTA, or pretty much Ontario, and you have a motorcycle, you’ll probably end up checking out GTAmotorcycle.  A forum which seems to link up a lot of the Canadian motorcycle scene. The membership pretty much revolves around sportsbikes. (If you know anything about Canada, you know that Toronto is a poseur city, so riding a sportsbike makes you instantly cool.) You would think this would be a great forum but it’s not.  Useful? No. Helpful? No. Interesting? No.  I could make a whole blog about the things it’s not actually. Is it because it’s small? No. It actually has a lot of members, however if you look at the userlist, many of these users have not logged in since 2008, 2007, and beyond. I would think that currently, there are only about 100 or so active members. Out of these active members, most of them are pretty useless when it comes to the motorcycle community. Here you will find your share of poseurs that buy sportsbikes and sit in front of high traffic areas all day (like coffee shops, bars, nightclubs, etc), women riders (trying to prove themselves), squids (riders without gear, cause it’s hard to look cool with gear on), and noobs (newbie riders that don’t know anything).

Bro! All these chicks must be checking us out.

I am sure this forum was decent at some point in time, but lately what has been happening is that the above people have been joining in droves and have made the forum stupid by talking about, and asking stupid things.  Most of the more knowledgeable and senior riders/users have been having a great time talking shit, and enjoying a laid back tit for tat type of thread structure until recently.

The admins of this forum, Paul Rogers and Cutekill, with their drove of brainwashed mods, have been regulating this forum in such a way that terms like “Nazi” have come back in style.  It’s not that easy on this forum to not be banned for gain an infraction, which leads to a ban.  On other forums you can get away with having a different opinion, calling someone a name, or even disagreeing about something, but not on GTAM.  Since April 2009, personally I have racked up over 50 infractions and over 5 bans.  The last one being a permanent ban.  Do I care?  Not really, but you know sometimes you just want to rag on a noob or something, so you have to find another uncensored forum like SlickKids.com.

Anyhow, the problem is with forums like GTAM is that, everyone has a common interest, it’s 90% guys, and guys like to talk shit.  Specially when it comes to a manly hobby like motorcycles.  One of the problems is that having a girl admin, and a few girls on the forum, they get offended by things that are man things.  In real life as a guy, you can fart in front of your guy friends, but if you were to fart in front of a girl, she would get offended.  This is like GTAM.  You can joke around with your guy friends on the forum, but some girls will get offended and complain, and the girls mods and admin will swiftly step in to give you an infraction or ban.  Paul, where did your balls go?

Hey ladies. I make this bike sexy. Of course I am from Mississauga..

Good question.  Paul has no balls.  Forums that get big will usually quickly sell out on their members.  The people that made the forum so big now no longer matter, because even if they leave, more people will join. So what do you when you get big? Sell advertising, and make sure the advertisers see you as a happy family friendly forums where boys, girls, moms, and dads, can join and ask stupid questions about motorcycles.  Many of these people sign up, ask a stupid question, and then never log on again.  Between the girls complaining, and Paul trying to sell ads, GTAM has become less of a motorcycle enthusiast forum, and more of an interactive FAQ for retards and families.  Not to mention the girls removing all balls from this forum.

Lately GTAM has been a source of controversy as well.  There has been bannings of many popular controversial members, such as D, ressurection, myself, and many many others. As well as infractions handed out left right and center.  If you don’t agree with how the forum is being run, you are to to leave, as it is not open for discussion. Just today another forum member LINK66 was asking for his account to be deleted after he was banned for joking about hitting his favorite mod. LOL is no longer for laughing my friend. Also it seems like a few of the mods have had it with how the site is being run.  Another recent controversy has been a member named R1Timmy.  R1Timmy fell off his bike during a vacation in the US, and was reported to be critically injured. The GTAM community scam artist wanna be even co-oridinator Suzuki_Girl (who supposedly hasn’t been able to co-ordinate anything worth shit) set up a fundraiser with the admins of GTAM for R1Timmy because he was injured so badly, and wrecked his bike, and had hospital bills to pay, and etc sad story.  It ends up that this guy turns up at the fundraiser practically uninjured, his story and injuries were 90% made up, he pocketed the money from the fundraiser, Suzuki_Girl probably pocketed some cash, GTAM got some publicity.  At the end of the day, everyone was pissed off that out of all the bikers that have gone down seriously, or have died during this season had no fundraisers.  Imagine giving your hard earned cash to someone who you thought was laying in a hospital bed all messed up, and meanwhile he’s doing great and attending his own fundraiser walking around?  To make matters worse, R1Timmy won’t respond to the allegations of this being a scam, Suzuki_Girl is lying and backtracking about her involvement (also deleting her own threads and messages), and the admins of GTAM are banning users that ask questions, and deleting posts and threads from people that are wondering about how valid this fundraiser was. Generally the admins spend a lot of time deleting peoples posts and threads if they don’t agree with them, but this came to new lows.

The GTAMotorcycle Forum Logo. Look familiar?

With this much drama, does it really seem that this is what the motorcycle community needs or wants?  There is lots of talk about the forum going downhill, people leaving, and advertisers wondering if it is a good idea to get involved with such a train wreck.

For now, an irc chat channel on DALnet unfortunately named #GTAM has been a popular places for members fleeing the communist GTAM forum.  This includes all your banned favorites, and people that believe in free internet speech. Perhaps when the GTAM is done being a piece of shit #GTAM will be the new hotspot for the GTA’s motorcycle enthusiasts.

The United Way

So every year around this time the United way shows up at my place of business to ask for donations. While I believe in donations I don’t believe in giant companies like The United Way that pay their senior employees and executives large salaries and bonuses.

Yesterday I had 4 separate women speaking from the United Way about how we need to donate and life is hard for people in Mississauga. Now I was thinking about this and it didn’t really take me long to understand that even myself cant afford to live in Mississauga. A Townhouse in Mississauga goes for over $400,000. So why are there over 150,000 people in Mississauga that are starving and have a hard time paying there bills?  How about money management? If you were to move to Brampton (can’t believe I’m saying this), you could get the same place for $250,000. I mean shit if I cant afford to live in Mississauga, why is the United way talking to me about donating money to people living in a bigger and more expensive and bigger house than me? They had the nerve to tell me that a lot of these people were immigrants. OH? So this immigrant comes into our great country and buys a $400,000 – $600,000 home then goes to the United Way and asks for hand outs?

Fuck the United Way. I just want a beer!

You know I wasn’t always living like this, I didn’t own a home or a new car or anything like that. It took me a long time to get where I am, and I’m still not where I want to be, I’m not even half way. I used to live in a shelter and go to the food bank and had to suck it up and go to survive. Have you ever been to a food bank? I have, and 50% of the people walking in and out of there with food are driving off in brand new Mercedes Benz’ or BMW’s. I remember being in a line for soup cans and a lady on her cell phone and a mink coat bumped into me while she was talking on her cell and just kept picking stuff up and walked out with it all. When I got outside she had a Mercedes SUV, loaded with free food.

See you want to believe that people in this world wouldn’t do that type of thing. I got new for you, the world is a bitch.

The amount of people living off my tax money in Ontario is a joke. How many people live in Brampton who are immigrants and own brand new houses and brand new BMW’s are on welfare? Lots of them and they own their own businesses and they fraud the government, and anything else they can get there hands on. You expect that I’m supposed to donate my hard working money for these people? HAHAHA! Look, after watching the United Way talk about donations and then walk out with their Coach and Prada bags, their $300 shoes and $200 scarfs, and get into there BMW’s and SUV’s, I thought, yeah they deserve to make money, but really why are they making Millions to speak about donating? Sure they can afford to donate and they make sure in the end they get that receipt to not get taxed.

The world sucks, when I was living on my own in Toronto and trying to make it to the next day I did a lot of bad things to make my money. But funny enough, if I didn’t I wouldn’t be where I am today. You never make enough paying taxes to the Government working at a lousy $12 an hour job. However doing what you can and putting money away gets you far. You try to do everything the right way and you don’t get anywhere. If you scam, fraud and deal and you’ll get far in life. Yeah, you take that chance, but really think about your other choice. Working for the rest of your life at a dead end job making peanuts and never getting out of debt. Never owning that special car you want. Never purchasing new clothes when you want. Never seeing a Leaf game, or any sporting events cause its just too much. Stealing from the rich and giving to the poor is the Robin hood way, and you’re the poor.

We just got back from the United Way. Fantastic handouts. Saves money for car payments. A+++

This world has turned into the “fuck the next person to get ahead” land. While all these banks just got bailed out of bankruptcy and car companies got bailed out, the executives are still make millions a year. Does it make you think about caring whether you steal money from them fraudulently? Insurance companies are one of the worst, they are not regulated by anyone. They tell you that you must have insurance. They then tell you how much you are going to pay whether you like it or not. Soon as you’re in an accident, they won’t even give you what you paid for the car. They are a pure profit essential service, these people sit back and collect your money while you struggle. They don’t care, and why should I? I could go on and on about all of this shit that goes on and you would throw up in your mouth thinking about how these people have so much money and yet want more. Like millions a year just ain’t enough for them. Try to live off my wages for a month and they would hang themselves real quick.

I’m LeeRoy and I approve of what ever you want to do. Just don’t kill someone unless they deserve it.

Drake gets out his wheelchair, sells out, then sucks

I see that at this very moment Leeroy is writing an entry about Drake, so since I had a few things on my mind about him, I figured I’ll write my own and see where our opinions stand.

I don’t care at all for drake.  At first I thought it was Lupe Fiasco or something.  I didn’t even know he was from Toronto.  The sad part is that he got a little fame in music, ran off to the US to record with US rappers, and I can’t ever recall him mentionig Toronto in a song.  Like you are from here, aren’t you Drake?  Kardinal Offishal is from Toronto, and every song you hear from him, he represents Toronto.  Kardinal is also a much better rapper.  Unfortunately for us, a lot of hip-hop now is super mainstream, and super weak.  When you hear Drake rap, you would think it’s maybe a new Justin Timberlake track.  Anyways, it would be nice for you to rep up where you come from.

Out of the wheelchair, out of the closet?

However,  hey man, you did it.  Most Toronto rappers don’t sell out that quick and never really get beyond Toronto or Canada. I guess some times you need to sell out to get where you wanna be, and now you have all the suburban white kids loving you.  I can understand why Flow 93.5 plays your 3 songs back to back in between all the bullshit they normally play.  You fit there right between house music, and garbage R&B.  Pretty good for someone whose claim to fame is playing a handicap guy on a faggy Canadian TV show 20 years ago.

lil' wayne just wants the cock

Funny enough, out of all people Lil’ Wayne.  I am surprised he is still around, that dude came out and flopped, and now he’s getting some ghost written fame, and Drake is on his nuts.  Rumor was that he was a fudge packer.  Better watch your fudge!

Maybe you are living the American Canadian rap dream, but homie, I gotta give my props to the real hip-hop heads that represent where they came from.  It’s always easy to sell out and get what you want, but eventually your core people will have no respect for you.  Like this.

Dirty ass hookers want prostitution legalized

Prostitutes suffer with ’sinister’ law

The streets are not safe for prostitutes. Yet the streets are where Canada’s laws force them to work. While prostitution is legal in this country, nearly everything surrounding the activity is criminalized, particularly where the service can be provided: Not indoors, not in one’s home, and not under a roof shared with a spouse, partner or bodyguard, any of whom can be charged with living off the avails.

That Catch-22 is at the heart of a constitutional challenge which finally opened Tuesday before Ontario Superior Court Justice Susan Himel, and largely on the efforts of students from York University and Osgoode Hall Law School.

Few others, it would appear, care much about the lives – too often, deaths – of sex trade workers. As rewritten in the mid-’80s, Canada’s legislation is far more preoccupied with marginalizing prostitution, keeping the nuisance of solicitation off the streets, yet simultaneously denying its practitioners a secure environment that would discourage both predatory assaults and the visible street presence that many citizens find objectionable.

(se: What is this country coming to?  Have you ever drove around some of the scummy parts of Toronto at night?  You see all sorts of crap, especially tonnes of dirty ass hookers.  We are not talking about the girl next door turning tricks.  These are some old ass, busted up, drug/alcohol addicted nasty ass hookers.  I don’t even know how they make money.  However there must be some desperate guys.  I would be completely pissed off if I had hookers wandering around my neighborhood.  I can’t see why the Government would even consider legalizing any of the filth that goes with prostitution, or prostitution itself.  They should ban prostitution and attach a 10 year minimum sentence to it.  Let’s work on cleaning up the streets. While they are at it, they should ban panhandling.  The problem with this country is that they make it so easy to sway their morals. Hookers aren’t doing anything good for society, and should be forced to get real jobs instead of making our city, and society dirty. It’s easy to see no one cares when hookers get killed, just other hookers and the morons that support them.)
