I guess some Homeless people deserve it…

While in Toronto’s Union Station this morning, I noticed a homeless guy going through the coin slots on all the payphones.

Sure, everyone has seen this happen in the past, but recently?  Really?

Everyone has a cell phone now, even your 90 year old grandmother has an iPhone, and your 2 year old packs a Blackberry.

No wonder this guy is homeless.  Seeing that only homeless people and pedophiles use payphones, I can’t imagine that anyone would find substantial money in the coin slot.

This guy doesn’t win for being smart, and this is probably why he is homeless.

Photography: Not a real job.

Funny enough, I’ve noticed in that in the last few years, that I now know about 1000 photographers.  I think every second person that I’ve met in my life is now a photographer.

When I was younger I used to be an avid photographer.  I used to buy the books, subscribe to the magazines, and spend all my money on film and camera stuff.

It was fun to take pictures, but it was a hobby.  It was something to do.

Welcome to 2009.  Where everyone hates their jobs, can afford to buy a 500$ camera.

Here are the steps to becoming a professional photgrapher:

1. Hate your job.
2. Have enough money for a decent camera.
3. Have a printer at home to print your own business cards.
4. Have someone that can pay your rent (parents).
5. Add ‘Photography’ to your name (ie. John Smith Photography).
6. Spend your weekends taking pictures of stuff.
7. Carry a camera around with you always.  Every shot is an award winning shot.
8. Use craigslist to find models to take pictures of.
9. Become friends with a Starbucks barista, hoping to get your picture on the wall.
10. Have a dream.

I really like #10.  Because you really need a dream to succeed.  out of those 1000 photographers I know, maybe…2, and thats just pushing it..2 people out of those 1000 probably make a very uncomfortable living from being a photographer.

I have a few hobbies that I was I could quit working so that I can do them full time.  These would be:

1. Play video games.
2. Ride my motorcycle.
3. Eat.
4. Sleep.
5. Hang out.

You know. Honestly I will not make money from doing any of that.  I might as well become a photographer.  I wonder if I was to add these hobbies to my name and make my own business cards, would it work out?

• Shaun Empire Riding
• Shaun Empire Eating
• Shaun Empire Sleep Technology
• Shaun Empire Professional Hanging

Who knows.. Probably not.

Maybe I will just pick up a Camera, quit my job, and see where it takes me.

Red Cobalt 200 kmh + 410 hwy + Rain + Fog = ?

The Truth..

While I was on my way home last night after taking my son to the Doctor to get his flu shot, I got onto the 410 highway headed North towards Brampton. Pouring rain and in thick fog I was cruising in my Jeep doing approximately 110 km. I looked in the rear view mirror and I could see lights .. lights moving fast …now its night like 8:00 at night its dark. There is very thick fog everywhere and its poring rain.

Within seconds this Red Chevy Cobalt flew by me doing well over 200 km. WTF ?  I’m watching as this idiot realizes the other cars in the fast lane are going much much slower obviously. I see him jam on the brakes and swerve into another lane then back into the fast lane. This car was going so fast that when it passed me, my Jeep actually swayed from the wind that this car was pushing. Watching this Cobalt narrowly miss a couple cars then almost spin out of control into the guard rail, I began to think. When was the last time I seen a car pas me that fast? Never! Then I thought why is it that when it rains and snows and when we get crazy ass weather you always see some stupid fuck flying with his car? I don’t get it. I asked a couple people and one of the responses to me was from a girl. She said that she drives faster in the rain then on dry pavement because she doesn’t want to be on the road. She wants to get to where she is going as quick as possible. Hmmmm? This is the dumbest shit I have ever heard in my fucking life. Really? You drive faster in bad weather because you don’t want to be driving in the bad weather? Look I’m going to explain something to the idiot’s driving on our roads that unfortunately driver exams don’t teach you.

When the road is wet or snowy or icy, your tires don’t stick as good to the road and usually that results in an accident. Dry pavement is good…your tires should stick as long as they have tread on them. Do you hear what I’m saying? Fuck .. I swear sometimes I feel like the smartest mother fucker on the face of the earth .. I’m Albert Fucking Einstein because I know this and the majority of you dumb fucks on the road don’t.

Playing out your headlights

I replaced my headlights a few weeks ago. I bought ultra white bulbs and made sure they weren’t tinted blue.

Why?

Well c’mon. Who really has blue lights? HIDs have a bluish tint, but HID lights don’t come stock on Honda Civics, 15 year old minivans, and 1980 VW rabbits.

Seeing that blue lights are being played out like 8 bit Nintendo, I think by the Summer, they will either be banned, or the fad will be dead.

Although..we could see some Ed Hardy blue lights soon that could double kill the fad…

We’ll see. Time will tell…

Lady on the train

You might as well be this mess..

To the lady on the train putting on your makeup:

That’s what your house is for you stupid bitch. No one wants to see your old ass do your make up.

You look like a bag of shit with make up on anyways, so you’re wasting your time.

I want to throw feces at you like monkies do.

Speed racer

This is going to be you.

So, I’m on the way to the train station this morning and see my neighbor going up he street, at some point I passed her and changed lanes.

After that she was riding my ass and trying to race me to the train station and in the parking lot. Are you a fucking retard.

Women in SUVs have to be up there with the worse. Sorry chicky, it’s not a sports car. I would piss myself laughing when you tip that bag of shit Chevy Trailblazer over and it goes up in flames.

Maybe you need something more your size, like a sandwich maker biatch.

P/T Cruiser is a Rednecks Ferarri

It's like a gay Plymouth Prowler..

I noticed that when the P/T Cruiser came out, originally people thought it was a cool looking car. It was purchased up by older 50+ men who wanted to relive their younger years, and for a new car, it was relatively cheap. $16,000 brand new and $23,000 for a turbo version with chrome wheels.

After about 3 years the P/T cruiser became gay to own. All the previous owners traded them in and no one wanted them. The value of the car used with low kms is as low as $5000.00 on a used car lot. You can also find a P/T Cruiser even cheaper with high kms as cheap as $2000.00.

Holy fucking loser mobile retard!

Years after the car stopped production the rednecks that used to look at the car and think it was the most amazing vehicle ever built could now afford one. So now when you see these ugly as fuck cheap cars driving down the streets,  99.9% of the owners are rednecks, Hicks, and crackers driving these things. This car to them is a Ferarri, they have no sense of value or what they are actually purchasing.

The P/T Cruiser is a Dodge Neon with a different body. That’s all it is, everything is exactly the same. Basically if you can think of a Dodge Neon without a body on it so picture the frame on wheels and engine and seats and everything then just put a P/T body on it and bingo you got yourself a giant piece of shit.

A redneck in a convertible PT Cruiser

If you ever ask a Redneck about there P/T Cruiser they will tell you how valuable their car is. Today I witnessed this happen. A guy walked by a Rednecks P/T Cruiser and took a picture. He was also a Redneck ..lol.. go figure. When the girl that owned the P/T Cruiser approached the man he said that he thought it was a nice car and took a picture. Hah haaaaaaa.. we asked her later, and she said look I have a nice car and people want to take pictures. Now if you can imagine a 2001 P/T Cruiser in Gold .. with 14 inch wheels and hub caps on it .. no tint .. base model .. pink sticker on the side of it.. I can see why anyone would take a picture of that piece of shit.

This is not the first time I have come across a stupid Redneck cracker with a P/T Cruiser that thought it was something special. These people actually seem to think these cars are fast ..ha ha ha … These are the same fucked up people that still think owning a T-Shirt that says Tommy on it is a expensive brand Like Hilfiger. In case you don’t know .. Tommy is not Hilfiger. Even Hilfiger isn’t expensive and Hilfiger clothes were cool back in the 90’s, its almost 2010!

Only you can be this redneck, this gay, and this stupid...

These are also the same people that wear bear hats that say I am Canadian or Bud… or Nascar. You know who I am talking about, Rednecks. Funny thing is this girl who owns this car came from the fucking forest. She grew up in the sticks in but fuck nowhere, with mother, father and a beer in their hand since date of her birth. A weekend with her parents is searching for other peoples garbage for cool shit that people throw out and think wow these people are soo stupid to throw this lamp out, do you know how much this will be worth? These people have no sense of time, have no thought process and generally are the most uneducated people on the face of the earth.

Maybe even gayer..

So if you’re one of these people please understand something, you’re retarded and people laugh at you and your gay ass car. No one thinks your cool unless they are your friends who probably are Redneck hill billies too. Yeah you stupid fuckin WHITE CRACKER HONKEY REDNECK FUCK!  You’re retarded go drink a beer and attempt to do your own oil changes on your fucking loser mobile. Straight up gay .. thats it.. GAY.

I’m LeeRoy ………..and if you own one your a Redneck Cracker Ass Retard.

Does Killing Someone Ever Cross Your Mind ?

This type of fag is the one that everyone hates.

Today I was driving on my way to the mall, and some asshole’s car broke down in one of the lanes. So there is only one other lane with no one around so I put the nose of my Jeep into that lane. While I’m waiting a young kid with a Nissan pulls up into the lane that my nose is in and tries to cut in between the nose of my car and the guardrail. Well I drove right in as soon as traffic began to move coming inches from driving over the front end of his shit ass car. So he began to hold down his horn like the little bitch he is. First off the fact that he even had that nerve is unbelievable. Don’t fuck with someone then honk like its the other guys fault.

Lee will kill your whole family with his car.

As soon as we began moving this bitch kid gunned it in front of me at the lights almost taking off my front bumper. So I was just about to hop the curb and block in his car however my wife began screaming NONONO! Always have to have someone telling you not to do something that you really should do. Anyway so light turns green and I begin following him into the mall parking lot. He then slows almost to a stop.. so I slow down to get out but he kept moving so I figured, no problem gun it into on coming traffic and go around him almost driving right over his fuck car like a speed bump. We turn the corner and he guns it past me again ..haha.. so anyway I follow him and I stop in front of the mall to let out my wife, he parks but what he doesn’t notice is I see him and I see where he now has parked.

Equal rights. He'll punch the shit out of your girlfriend too!

Now this is where killing a mother fucker actually crossed my mind. I see him and his girl friend get out of there car and begin walking into the mall. He doesn’t see me, but I see him, and I’m seriously thinking.. I’m gonna run this mother fucker over.. Then I thought, nahh.. instead I’m going to go to his car and push it with my jeep into the middle of the fuckin parking lot. Well.. eventually I just threw an entire large cup of coffee all over the windshield and hood of his car.

This kid is very lucky because I really thought about killing this person. Like not just beating him actually killing him and his girlfriend.. like no longer breathing shit.. both dead chalk outlined and all. I really don’t know what to say at this point about stupid people and the thought process that goes through there fucking mind. Do you know who you are fucking with? I don’t think you do!

I take medication to calm me down mother fucker .. don’t catch me on a day when I forgot to take it. Anyway, hope people get to understand if you were in the fuckin wrong just admit it and everything is fine. But you wanna be a douche? Go ahead and just hope someone aint behind the wheel that will kill a mother fucker.

I’m LeeRoy and your lucky to be alive today.

Redneck Conspiracy

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.
