The most awesome Tiger Woods Re-enactment

Gotta hand it to the Chinese.  They make life super awesome.  I love how Tiger gets beat up and chased with the golf club.  CNN learns to learn from these guys..

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.

It’s Not Cool to Follow The Trends

The "used to be" must have lease car to pose in.

So I have noticed allot of people tend to follow the leader when it comes to style. But I think a lot of people don’t realize that a couple of people started that trend and they have moved on while you are now copying their old style.

I don’t know if anyone has noticed recently but Audi Sales have jumped through the roof lately. These same vehicle’s back in the 90’s wouldn’t sell, you had the rare people with them but they were never that popular. They were still ranked up there with BMW, Mercedes, Saab, Lexus, Cadillac, but BMW and Mercedes were the cool cars to own in the late 90’s into the year 2000.

Recently BMW and Mercedes sales have dropped, and the lemming yuppy flock are all running to the Audi dealerships to trade in there BMW’s and Mercedes for overpriced Volkswagons. Why is this? Could it be due to the fact that just like every trend eventually the trend goes out and a new one comes in?

The new must have lease car to pose in.

Back in the 80’s Lincoln and Cadillac ruled the luxury car market. The early 90’s Saab and BMW and Jaguar really set a trend till people realized that you couldn’t keep a Saab or Jag on the road without it breaking down. People then shifted to Mercedes and BMW lucky for them they changed the style enough to make the cars look new again. Audi recently came out with all new style cars with LED headlights and the Audi super car the R8. I saw a couple of suits driving these right away, then it took off like wild fire. Now when I speak with people, right away when you ask them what car they would buy if they had the money?  It’s Audi! What happened to BMW? Or Mercedes?

Nope.

A lot of the top luxury vehicles mentioned by people are Audi, Lexus, Acura… Then BMW, Mercedes, and what about Saab? I’m waiting for the day when Saab will be the trend. Or Cadillac,  and that may actually happen now that GM has began to change some of the designs and market the Cadillac.

Sure, It's a great car.. But will it make me look like I am rich?

I don’t know why people just cant be themselves. Get something no one else has start your own trend. Remember when Hummer was cool? Now its just not! People kinda look down on owners of Hummers because they are useless wastes of space. Its a glorified overpriced Chevy Tahoe.

Start your own trend.

Instead of flocking to Starbucks, go to Dunkin’ Donuts or something. Or don’t even care, get what you want because it tastes good or looks good or because it fits your income.

Bentley won't even lease you a car as a 25 year old, recent immigrant, retail sales clerk at the mall. However you can still have a $800 a month for 6 years, 0% down BMW..

My parking lot at work is now full of white Audi’s. People are even buying up the old Audi’s from the 90’s that no one liked. But now people say wow how did he get an Audi?

My Gawd man.

Kids are beginning to fall off the Honda Civic bandwagon.

Now the cool thing is drifting!

So you now see kids buying old Nissan’s and Toyota’s. The next generation will change the whole market, and as far as I can see companies, like Kia, and Hyundai taking the sales away from Honda because kids are following a trend to rear wheel drive cars.

Weird ain’t it?

I say be yourself, don’t go out and buy a Civic because everyone else has one. Purchase it because you really want one. If you really want a Jeep purchase a Jeep.

I’m LeeRoy …………………..B-Yourself !

Survey shows homeless people don’t live as long as people with homes,food,doctors,not living outside

Life expectancy shorter for homeless, study says – [ctv.ca]

TORONTO — Canadians living in homeless shelters and rooming houses have a much shorter life expectancy than the general population – and poverty is not the only factor contributing to their premature deaths, researchers conclude.

In a 10-year study, researchers found the chance of surviving to age 75 among the homeless or inadequately housed is 32 per cent for men and 60 per cent for women, compared to 51 per cent and 72 per cent respectively for the lowest income group in Canada’s population.

To put that in perspective, the probability that a 25-year-old man living today in marginal housing would make it to age 75 is equal to the life expectancy of the average young male in 1921 – long before the advent of antibiotics and other life-saving treatments.

For homeless or poorly housed females, their chance of surviving to 75 is the same as women in the general population of Canada in 1956.

Beer... Weed... Money for beer and weed?

(se: Always surprises me that people are always doing studies on the obvious things.  Did you expect that homeless people were living longer?  The streets make them invincible? Noting that people in 3rd countries are usually homeless and don’t live long, wouldn’t that give you an indication of what is happening here to homeless people?  How here’s one for you.  Factor in drugs and alcohol.  Does that have anything to do with it as well?  Why are we doing a study on homeless people anyways? We pay taxes, homeless people get shelters, but don’t want to be in them because they don’t allow drug and alcohol use.. I wonder how long people that conduct stupid survey’s live? Hrmm…)

The GTA sucks Toronto/Peel

Ontario sucks! But at least it's not as cold as Manitoba..

I unfortunately was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. While I was growing up I loved living here. The houses were nice with lots of land, the people were friendly and everyone on the street would get together for BBQ’s. Halloween would come and the entire area would have lights on,  pumpkins carved, and we would walk for hours getting candy from nice people. Taxes weren’t too bad, houses were fairly cheap. Living was fairly cheap, and my mother stayed home to be a mother.

Now I’m older and I have my own family. I live in the same area I grew up, and my wife works while my son stays with my mother in law. Reason? Day care is like $900+ a month. My house is a detached 1 garage, 1 car driveway with 2 feet of grass between my house and the house next to me. My house costs $50,000 more then what my parents owned and my entire house could fit into our old family room. Property taxes cost me $250 a month to live in an area so heavily populated that it takes me 45 minutes to drive to work in the morning when I actually only live 15 minutes from my office.

The PST + GST taxes are stupid as hell. Everything I buy here costs me as much as it would be to buy 2 of the same items across the border in Buffalo. Gas costs more because I live in a rural area. My auto insurance premiums are crazy! When you have never had an accident and have been driving for 15 years and you still are paying $250 a month on 1 vehicle then add another $175 on another vehicle and house insurance $25. That’s $450 a month just on insurance because I live within the GTA.

My neighbors don’t talk to anyone on the street. In fact all my neighbors don’t seem to speak much English so even if they are nice people I wouldn’t know. My monthly salary is taxed soooo much that I cant understand how I always seem to owe the government at the end of every year? I think about over $10,000 in taxes a year and think, what am I paying for? Because I own a house I cant claim taxes at the end of the year. But if I rent I can ..???  WTF ?  Now that I’m married I pay even more in taxes. I purchased two new vehicles, and I could purchase the same vehicles in the USA for $10,000 cheaper even though these vehicles are actually built in the city I actually live in.

Great, Let's get the fuck outta here!

I have learned that you can’t get ahead in the GTA and Peel. If you want to get ahead you need to have your own company, or scam everything you can to get ahead. I want to give my son things that I had when I was growing up. I want him to live a life of freedom and fun and be able to do what ever he wants. If he wants to play sports I want to be able to pay for his right to play those sports. But really does that make any sense? Kids should be allowed to play what ever they want without having to worry about if mom and dad cant afford it. I feel that I make pretty good money, and my wife make fairly good money too. However the taxing to death and crazy charges that we have to deal with living in a city and province that has nothing good to offer is unbelievable. I know back in the 70’s and 80’s cars were cheaper, houses were cheaper, everything was cheaper. I used to be able to buy a bag of chips for 75 cents, a bottle of pop for 75 cents and it was almost a litre. Now its a $1.75 for a 500 ml bottle of pop, and $1.25 for a bag of small chips. They are making it very hard for people to live. I have been looking into moving to another part of Ontario, where the property taxes are really low and the houses are dirt cheap and the land is huge, and everyone on the street knows your name and says hi to you as you leave in the morning to go to work. I have realized that’s the life I want for my son. I want him to ride his bike and play with other kids on the street and be able to enjoy life as much as he can. Living here at the moment sucks! I am tired of paying to live in an area like this and when I move out another person will move in that cant speak any English and will have 15 people living in a 3 bedroom house. Half of them will live off welfare and still work for under the table money. The rest will have legit jobs owning there own business scamming the government and driving around in $100,000 cars.

Good luck Peel when I move out I wont ever return. I don’t go to Toronto for anything, it’s useless and I refuse to give you my hard earned money.

I’m LeeRoy ……FUCK YOU TORONTO ..AND UP YOURS PEEL

Hulkamanic Depressive

Hulk Hogan – Hulk Hogan Floored By Marriage – [Contactmusic News]

Hulk Hogan thought about killing himself, even going as far as holding a loaded gun, when his marriage ended.

The legendary wrestler – real name Terry Bollea – got as far as picking up a gun to shoot himself when wife Linda Bollea filed for divorce after nearly 24 years together, following claims he had had an affair in 2007.

In his autobiography, ‘My Life Outside the Ring’, Hulk wrote: “There were times when I thought that a whole bottle of pills would go down easy.

“Then I noticed the gun in my hand. I was careless with it… I kept my finger pressed right to that trigger… and if I moved that finger an inch in the right direction I would have blown my brains out.”

Hulk’s depression descended further when his son Nick was indicted on reckless driving charges. He had been involved in an accident which left his friend and passenger, John Graziano, with a broken skull and in need of lifelong medical care.

Wow. Hulk's looking pretty old..

(se: Shiiiit.. I don’t think it was the divorce itself that messed up Hulk Hogan, I think it was the fact that his wife was a stupid bitch and she’s milking him for every penny she can get.  Especially the cars.  I think I covered this before and said that he should just OJ her.  It’s bad enough that she is taking his money, which isn’t hers, that she didn’t earn, and she is taking his house, but the cars?  You evil bitch!  I guess also having a douchebag son that’s a loser wannabe fast and furious racer, and a daughter that looks like a guy that can’t sing, but keeps trying (sure, I guess you get bonus points for trying..), man..it’s like a horrific suicide just waiting to happen.  Hulk should have just killed his entire family when he had the chance..)

Canadian retailers overcharge customers, gets surprised when Loonie goes up and everyone runs for the border

Loonie’s recent surge ignites concerns about cross-border shopping

OTTAWA — The loonie edged closer to parity Wednesday, stoking fears for Canadian retailers that their recent sales gains will soon be fleeing south of the border.

Bank of Montreal economist Douglas Porter says there is already anecdotal evidence that the cross-border shopping phenomenon, which had become a victim of the recession and the Canadian dollar’s tumble earlier this year, may be reviving.

“The chatter I’m hearing is there were big line-ups at the border to get back into Canada on Monday night,” he said.

(se: Duuhhh..  Canadian retailers rape the hell out of customers big time just to put more money in their pockets, and then when the Loonie gets to par with the American dollar everyone runs to the US to shop.  Doesn’t this ooze common sense?  I bought a car part recently from the US.  It is German made, not American keep in mind.  The parts place here wanted $300, peeking over at his computer, I saw that his cost was about $220.  I figured it was a little high and went online to an American site to find my part.  Same part, same manufacturer, $150.  This too was coming from an auto part store.  Notice the $150 difference?  I am sure this is not completely due to the exchange rate.  Bothe places got the part from Germany which used the Euro, plus you have shipping, and then you have a distributor here.  IS it worth $150 more? No.  I keep telling people here, the US does so great because they would sell 1000 of something and make $5 profit per item, whereas in Canada we would mark it up $50 and sell 10.  Meanwhile everyone is competing with you knocking off a dollar here and two dollars there.  It’s completely pathetic. I buy all my car parts, motorcycle parts, paintball parts, etc. in the US now.  Canadian businesses have shown that they don’t want some of my money, they want it all.  Especially the smaller stores, because you want to make sure that if you have to work you’re doing it to be able to buy a BMW and put cash in your pocket.  I can understand factoring the exchange rate, but doubling, and tripling the price of something is nothing more than greed. I understand jobs are on the line, but it’s greed that kills, and Canadians has a great way of killing their own jobs by being greedy.)

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.

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.
