This is too much

I am looking at my sisters blog and I notice she's missing a few details from her story about my mom. Let me get it right.
My dad is here in Saskatoon visiting me.Yay, steak one night, chicken wings, chicken kung pow the next. Beer all the while. Oilers hockey. You know, stuff guys do with their dad.
We have a ball, he fills my fridge, and off he goes. I now have enough pickles and perogies for anyone who wants to visit.
Dad gets home only to find out my lovely grandmother is not well and she's in surgery for the third time since September when she had her knee replaced.
So, I have to back up a bit, but you know my grandma is not doing too great, she's 83 and getting old. While my dad is here, mom goes out for a couple drinks with her friends and locks herself out of the house.
Because dad is gone she padlocks every door in the house and leaves her keys behind. So she has to squirm in through the laundry room window.
Now this is where my sister missed out on a couple of things.
My dad used to brew beer and long since has abandoned this terrible hobby, but he still has some remenants kicking around. Some of these include a large pail full of bottle caps. So of course that's in the way as she blindly shuffles through the window. Now all over the floor.
And the other part she misses is that all the doors were padlocked, but what is the basement window open for?
I guess I would do the same, after all, it is St. Albert. There are no robbers in St. Albert.

What is it with celebrities?

I am thinking about the latest celeb to make the news because of a racist rant. Kramer from Seinfeld is apparently being heckled by some guys in the crowd and he starts dropping the n-bomb. Are you kidding me? Michael Richards, famous really for only one show, but he seems like a funny guy. Why would he do this? Maybe he was upset that people were making fun of him and heckling him, but come on. The guy has loads of money and made it as a comedian.
You'd think he'd have thicker skin than that.
But it really is a statement on our whole society. If it's black vs white in the USA, it's certainly White vs Aboriginals in Western Canada and what a sad state of affairs it all is. Why would someone say this stuff that takes us all a giant step back. What a comment on the times when people like Ray Nagin in New Orleans showing the world that America is facing major problems that just bubble under the surface. Mel Gibson getting drunk and making a lengthy anti-Semitic rant.
Here closer to home, the general manager of the Swift Current mall says the whole town is a bunch of Rednecks because there is only 0.2 percent of the population that's not white.
Does this discussion really have to take place in 2006? I would like to say no, but it is obviously an issue. If only I could help solve this. Maybe there's a way, but it is part of our lives and there is no avoiding it. It's just too bad some people have to be so backwards.

Ahhhh this is bad. It's been ten days

Well,
I am doing this to try and keep up with my writing and get into the habit, but it appears to have slipped out of my mind shortly there.
I had company, and I totally change everything when my sweetie is here. I don't do any of the boring stuff I usually do in the evenings. Instead I go out to movies, eat at restaurants, and visit new pubs. It's sure a lot of fun to have company. To have someone to share the evenings with. I sure have trouble sitting here and thinking about the fact that I don't have a lot to do. I really should get things on a roll and see if I can make it all better.
The world is still spinning, the sun goes up and down, the wind howls in Saskatchewan, and everything suddenly goes back to normal. But normal is so boring. I have more ups and downs in this job than I can imagine.
Time to quit doing this online. I need to go read for a while and get to that place Don Juan goes in the Mexican desert. With the lizards and the crows........... You know? Relax, read a book, and turn in at 8 or 9 PM. Oh wow, as soon as she leaves, everything is just so foggy, and I am so uninspired.
I just need to go sit and think.

This is unbelievable!!!

I don't know where to start this, because I just want to get this down as quickly as possible. But I've realized just how big a part of my life this silly computer has become.
Although you might not know it from the relatively infrequent entries to this blog, but I am drinking rum and watching the Rider's game yesterday afternoon, when tragedy strikes.
That's what people in Saskatchewan do. And something comes up, a guy makes couple of huge hits, and a fumble recovery and I decide to look him up. Maurice LLoyd. Well, I end up spilling some rum and coke right on the f#$%ing computer. The right side of the keyboard is a little sticky, as well as the spacebar.
And it is literally driving me insane. How can I fix this? Arghhhh, I don't want to break the keys but I'd like to throw the thing out the window.
But there are a million postings online and I am hoping the geeks will come through for me. It's just infuriating.
TOM out.
