f**k canada post

alright, well if you're offended by that title then you'll probably be offended by this entire post. it's possible you won't be reading my blog anymore if that's the case. i guess that's the risk i take.

i'm so f**king tired of CP's bulls**t. our postal carriers are CONSTANTLY making baseless complaints about the state of our walkway. they complain that it's not shoveled good enough. the other day, after having had snow on the weekend i shoveled the walk. sorry, i'm not getting out the bloody ice pick. the walk way was flat, and remaining snow was packed down, and there was no ice.

what does our carrier do??? he walks right up to the f**king house, up the f**king stairs, right up to the f**king mailbox, drops nothing in it, and then walks away. this happens for 2-3 days in a row. then, the other day, a supervisor drives by. he gets out of the truck, walks up to our house with a stack of mail, and tells us that the carrier has written "needs to shovel" on every piece of our mail and has refused to deliver. even though he has been walking RIGHT UP to the mail box, that's where he stops.

hey, carrier, you're an asshat. it's f**king winnipeg in winter. you are a postal delivery person. gets some damn boots and deliver the f**king mail.

PETA Pronouncement

this just in from PETA:

eating meat makes you "boring in bed".

i don't think i need to follow that up with anything.

the dolby drought

here's one for the "WTF WERE THEY THINKING???" list:

it seems as though dolby digital is no longer good enough for people producing blu-ray discs. wtf? first, i bought the incredible hulk and it contained it's english track in DTS alone. with only spanish and french in Dolby 5.1, those without a DTS decoder were forced to listen to the movie in (i'm gonna be sick) simulated surround.

now, after recently ordering firefly (thanks to a huge bonus i will be getting for working through the holidays), i notice that they also found dolby unacceptable. firefly is great...but wtf? dolby...not good enough???

listen jerks. the last time i checked, dolby has recently updated their standard to their "true HD" technology so that it would be worthy of the blu-ray format. so smarten the f*** up and stop leaving dolby out. i'm not buying a new amp. i'm not gonna do it!

stupid studios!

a new breed of spam

yeah, this isn't a rant. just hilarious as far as i'm concerned.

recently i received notifications that comments were made on my blogs. 1 comment on each of the 2 blogs, but on posts i didn't recall.

neither of the comments was particularly insightful and both were written by online personalities i've never heard of. one of them was, "well said". they were both on very old posts. then i clicked on the names of the commenters just to see if they had blogs and, if so, what they were like...

both of them were blogs advertising insurance companies. wtf??? previously, blog comment spam contained ads. full ads for this or that product or site. i suppose they are written in the hope that someone will click on the name and buy some insurance.

is this what passes for stealth nowadays?

damn you, winnipeg.

it's f*****g rain, not ice! you don't have to go 30 km below speed limit! jerks

american idle

what the hell?

the last couple of years i have been watching american idol. i honestly think it has been interesting the past couple of years. last year it was worth it, as blake lewis nearly took the trophy. he's a good beatboxer, and that impresses me.

the year before, yet again the better competitor took 2nd place, as taylor hicks beat out katherine mcphee. honestly, katherine was better.

this year has been ok so far. but last night pissed me off. those of you who watch know that it's 80s week. a bunch of people chose cliche, boring standards like tainted love and some of the other songs you see in the wedding singer. people, those songs are in a COMEDY because they are classic cheese.

but during 80s week, not one...NOT ONE person chose to sing a U2 song! WHAT?! not even the IRISH GIRL. come on carlie, even the aussie guy chose a song by an australian band in the last couple of weeks!

U2 was probably the greatest band in the 80s...during the entire decade. and not one person elects to sing a U2 song? granted, not all of them are attainable. i'm quite certain that "with or without you" or "running to stand still" or even "one tree hill".

you people are idiots.
