Fisherman's Blues


When a country offers another country around, oh, say, 26 billion dollars and promptly tells them it's 'decision time', doesn't something seem a little bit off? Why wouldn't a country accept that, is the question I asked myself. Click here to see what I'm talking about.

I'm at the grocery store today and I couldn't help but notice how much the magazine racks are prominently displayed with women wearing practically nothing on the mag covers. This lead me to believe that these magazines are making a mint. This then made me wonder about the people that are buying these men's magazines. Come on, just buy the damn smut mag, who are you all kidding? I then reached over and grabbed a Gossip paper and proceeded to read my horoscope. It told me I was going to have a bad day - so I went home angry.

Maybe it's because I've been a downtown dweller in three major cities of this province, but I find I get asked for directions quite a bit when I'm walking around town. One out of ten times I'll give the long but not wrong directions. It's quite funny seeing them nod to me and getting lost mentally after the third right turn - yes, it makes a circle around the block. No one has called me on that yet. My favourite thing to do when people asked me to take a picture of them (this happened often in our nation's capital) was to pretend to run away with the camera and then promptly turn around and take a picture of them chasing me.

Today was also crazy as I actually fell victim to slipping on a banana peel. I thought this only happened in the cartoons.

I caught some clips tonight of reality television and I want my fake television back.

Somewhere today in the world, someone will be selling their company product to people. The product I'm talking about is barf or vomit bags. Hey, it's a dirty job, but someone has to do it.
