I heard the other day that this man was finally declared legally dead and that inspired me to start a rumor about Steve Fossett, the rich adventurer who disappeared during a solo flight in Nevada. I was going to post this note and say that I would deliberately start a rumor that Steve did not crash but had deliberately flown over and landed or was shot down over the restricted Area 51 and was made to “disappear”. I wanted to prove that even though I would precede this rumor by declaring it was a total fabrication on my part and that I had absolutely zero evidence of any kind, the rumor would quickly spread through the internet and become either “fact” or urban legend. But the idea already is out there apparently.

Growing up, my own family was very dysfunctional so as a child, I evolved away from and rebelled against the social norm. Today birthdays and other holidays (yes, even Christmas), are something to be dreaded, not celebrated. So I can’t imagine anyone paying attention to such things. I want you all to realize that my perspective and attitude towards holidays, birthdays, and such, is twisted and warped. Or is it? But it is not my fault. It is the fault of my circumstances and the so-called “family life” that I grew up with. The good news is that I understand what it is all about, even though I am not emotionally attached in a normal way to the concept. The other good news is that when I wish someone a happy birthday, you can be sure it comes from the heart and is really genuine. What I don’t like about … Continue reading →

Here is another article that really makes me mad: UN THINK WE ARE MORONS Here is a partial quote, demonstrating how the media treat us like empty-headed morons: Canadian science enthusiasts looking to get an early jump on next year’s holiday shopping might want to add something to their list: a telescope. The United Nations on Thursday named 2009 the International Year of Astronomy, to mark the 400th anniversary of Italian astronomer Galileo Galilei’s first observations using a telescope. The UN 62nd General Assembly made the proclamation Thursday morning in Paris, after the resolution was submitted by Italy, Galileo’s home country. The International Astronomical Union and UNESCO will jointly run the initiative with 99 nations, including Canada, participating. The United Nations seem to have absolutely no problem agreeing on things that are totally unimportant and insignificant. So they make up ridiculous public relations achievements that have absolutely no bearing on … Continue reading →

This is gong to be a rant. I need to blow off some steam so here goes… Quote from a news article from cbc.ca: “Democrats said when the fleet of gas-saving vehicles are eventually widely on the road, the fuel economy requirements will save motorists $700 US to $1,000 US a year in fuel costs.” This relates to the new energy bill where higher fuel efficiency standards come into effect. It would “…will boost mileage by 40 per cent from 25 miles per gallon to an average of 35 miles per gallon — around 6.7 litres per 100 kilometres.” What do I think? I approve of any efficiency increase and of course any environmental benefits to come from that, but I really hate when these politicians bullshit us by telling us it will save us money. It won’t save us money at all. First of all, they will simply charge … Continue reading →
