Apparently I Am A Spiritualist

You fit in with: Spiritualism Your ideals are mostly spiritual, but in an individualistic way. While spirituality is very important in your life, organized religion itself may not be for you. It is best for you to seek these things on your own terms. 40% spiritual. 40% reason-oriented.

I took this test and I am a Taoist. Then I took it again and now I am a Spiritualist. Take from it what you will. But it seems a lot of people are Taoists. Go figure!

The Haunted House At The Arts Center

On Thursday, which was yesterday when I was at work, the Arts Center, I got to see some of the haunted house. I have never seen the haunted house at the Arts Center before. It was starting to shape up. But today on Friday, I went to the Arts Center first before going to City Hall. It was looking great. They had it more decorated and what not. The painting/drawing studio was looking awesome. It is a very well done job. I give them props for pulling it off.

Now if you want to go see it is open the rest of the weekend and Monday. I don't know when it opens though. But what I do know is the admission is $2.00 and it is worth it. So if you have younger siblings or have young children that would like to go then definently check it out. It's worth it for all time and effort they put into setting up. But then after they take it all down, I get the displeasure of cleaning up that mess. From what I am told, it is a major mess. Ah well, at least I get paid to do it.

Anyways, I hope everyone has a safe and happy Halloween.

New Music Video Is Up

This weeks music video is One Week by Barenaked Ladies. I think it's a cool song. Plus I have never seen the video for it. So I thought it would be cool to post the video for it. Barenaked Ladies were pegged to be on hit wonders. But they actually made it with their quirky style of songs. They have a lot of really good songs like Old Apartment; It's All Been Done; Another Postcard; Pinch Me; Alternative Girlfriend; Get In Line; Jane; If I Had A Million Dollars; Too Little, Too Late; Shoebox; and many others. So check them out. A great Canadian band who has made it outside of Canada but has choosen to stick more close to home.

Some New Links

I have posted some new links on the sidebar under Sweet Links. They are:

Bored.com

It is a site where you can find a list of interesting sites on the web. There are various categories in which you browse. It's a pretty cool site. I haven't been there in sometime myself. But it's a cool site nonetheless.

Snopes.com- Urban Legends Reference Site

Now this is a site you must check out. It is totally cool. This site has urban legends on it. Some of them might be true, false, real, fake, hoaxs, and whatnot. They have many different sections you can browse under or you can search for something if you want to be more specific. There are some pretty cool finds on Snopes.com. It has put to rest some urban legends about various items. So check that one out.

GoogleFight.com

Here is a site that was posted while I was surfing a message board. It is GoogleFigt.com. Just click this blog's title or click here. You can make your own fight by putting a name or whatnot in the two boxes above the button Make A Fight. I created a few fights. They are:

So check them out and even create your own.

Wrestler Persona Quiz

I have taken this quiz before and I was matched up with Brock Lesnar. So I decided to try it again and my persona is Chris Benoit who is a techincal mastermind of a wrestler. Chris Benoit is of course Canadian. He was born in Montreal and grew up in Edmonton. He trained in the Hart Family Dungeon in Calgary. He has amassed great success all over the world. If anyone wants to see any matches that involve him then tell because I have a few DVD's with matches that have Chris Benoit in it. He is that great of a techincal wrestler.

My wrestler persona is...




I take my job as a wrestler very seriously! I eat, breath, and sleep the wrestling business!


What wrestler persona are YOU?

A Bump On My Head

I was on the computer and I touch my cranium and I felt a bump. A bump you ask??? Yes a bump. The strange thing is I don't know how it happened... anyways, it hurts when I touch it. Then why touch it you ask??? I am not entirely sure why. Maybe it's because I am baffled as to why a bump is on my head. Good thing it's not a concussion. I have never had a concussion before so I don't know what one is like. But anyways, it's baffling as to why a bump is one my head. I guess I will never know why a bump is on my head.

Don't Hire The Phil

For those are active in the internet wrestling community, you will know who this is. He has a show called The Phill Uncensored. It's a very boring, crappy video show. This dude thinks he is cool because he insulted a girl who he doesn't know over the internet on another show called Deep Impact. So if you are an owner of pro wrestling site, for the sake of the IWC (internet wrestling community), please don't hire The Phil. He is a class A jackass and he doesn't care who he has to go through to make himself look good and other people look bad.

We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming. Have a nice day!

Another Music Video

This weeks video is Sea Of No Cares by Great Big Sea. I was thinking about which song I should pick and I seen HotCodez.com had some Great Big Sea so I checked out which songs they have and they had a few I knew and so I decided to pick Sea Of No Cares. It is a great song by them. Other great songs by Great Big Sea are Everything Shines, Consequence Free, It's The End Of The World As We Know (I Feel Fine) (originally done by R.E.M.), and many others. So check them out. I should tell you that their music is more Celtic/Celtic Rock based.

Girl Killed After Meeting Someone She Met Over The Internet

I was on a message board and I came across a thread that was about a girl who was killed after she met a guy over the internet on MySpace.com. For those of you who don't know what MySpace is, it is bascially like MSN Space. It's where you can post blog entries, pictures, and other stuff. You can create your profile page to as you want it. Here is what was posted on that thread:

"Taylor Behl, a student from Virginia, has been found murdered. Her body turned up yesterday in a shallow grave and was confirmed to be that of Taylor Behl. The prime suspect, Ben Fawley claims to be an amateur photographer and is being held by authorities. She has a MySpace page and to see the comments from people while she was missing right up to finding the body is pretty sad and intense. Keep in mind that there are over 30 million people on this network so the odds are pretty good that you'll interact with some psychos and possibly some predators along the way(male or female). Just be careful and use common sense especially if you are female. I know 1st hand the amount of e-mails that women get every single day, half from guys posing as amateur photographers.

"The romantic relationship between Taylor and Ben started online on Myspace.
Check out her My Space profile, which is still up and all the comments her friends have been leaving her from the day she disappeared up until today."

http://www.myspace.com/doowop
Here is the news story:
http://www.crimelibrary.com/criminal_mind/forensics/taylor_behl/3.html

My thoughts:

Well, after looking at this young woman's MySpace profile, it's clear that she will be dearly missed. I mean she may have been niave in some respects. But that doesn't mean she should not know better. She was 18 after all. You are an adult at 18. Sure it's messed up what happened, but she probably only knew what she saw of this person who killed her on his MySpace account. I am not saying that I am better then her or anything. I don't think that she should be so trusting of everyone. Not everybody is as nice as you make them out to be. They could be all assuming and nice at first. Then they will show their true colors down the road. I am not saying that we should be a hermits and shut ourselves away from the world. It's just that we should learn about someone before just going to meet them because they could act totally different from behind a computer screen.

On the issue of MySpace, I feel that MySpace is overrated. It's like some think "MySpace is teh shit." But it's not. It's just another way for people to try and be popular amongst people they will never meet in their lifetime because they know that they are not popular amongst people in their town or whatever. Plus they also feel that the more comments that are posted on their blog, the more highly regarded they are. But seriously, it's like not people are going to remember you two months from now. If I had a MySpace account, I would rather have five comments on a blog post from people I know rather then 100 from people I didn't know.

It's sick what's out there nowadays. That's why I don't even have a MySpace account and I never intend to either. It's just another fade that people use to make themselves look trendy. But I don't buy into it. If people want to comment on my thoughts and what not then they can do so on my BlogSpot.com blog. You might say it was cool once upon a time to have a BlogSpot.com blog, but I actually update an a regular basis.

But on the note of this young woman, of course I feel it's messed up. But there is nothing most people can do. You feel powerless against this kind of thing happening. But if you can stop people you from making the same mistake then do so. You don't want to be kicking yourself later on when you know you could have done something. I bet if this young woman's friends could have done something then they would have. But sadly we can't turn back the hands of time. If we could then the world since the begining of time would have been perfect.

So Called Fortunes In Fortune Cookies

Have you ever cracked open a fortune cookie and read a whacky so called fortune? Well today, I was looking in the fridge for something to eat for supper. I then discovered some leftover Chinese food. Then later as in a few minutes ago (refer to the time of this post), I decided to crack open both fortune cookies and read these so called fortunes. Well, it I always keep an open mind (I try to for the most part), but these fortunes a dull, boring, and not so deep. It's like they took some average jackass and paid him to write the first thing that came to his mind. Let me explain before you complain about this.

I know it's only a fortune cookie but these so called fortunes could be much deeper. It's like they are not trying to philosophical at all. It's like duh, state the obvious. We would never have figured that if it wasn't printed on a fortune. Here is what both fortunes said:

"Friendship is the key to happiness."

DUH!!! Geez, state the freakin' obvious. Someone might have thought that friendship was the key to depression if they didn't clarify that. The other fortune said:

"The person who never trusts themselves never trusts anyone."

Thanks for again stating the obvious. Unless you are a simpleton, then I am sure you would most likely know that.

I know it's just a fortune but they could say stuff that is deeper then the usual stuff like the afformentioned fortunes. Maybe I am reading a little too much into it but at least they could try.

Which Rocker Are You Quiz

Well, someone posted this on a message board a few months back and I decided to give a try. I thought who I ended up as was pretty cool. I took it again just to see if it was right. Yup, I ended up as the same person. Then I decided to look for it and try it again. It turns out I ended up as the same person. I then tried it again just to make sure. Sure enough, I was still the same person. So here you go, the person I am most like...

You Are Gwen Stefani!

What you waiting for? You can do anything with a little encouragement from your pals. You’re a fashion maven who morphs from glamorpuss to tomboy chic, but you still make time to be a rock star. Hollaback!

· Not Gwen Stefani? Take the quiz again!
· Send to your friends and see which stars are in your posse.

Crystal Meth Poem

Here is a poem I picked up at work. They are giving them out so I took one. Besides they were free.

Crystal Meth Poem
Author: Unknown

I destroy homes, I tear families apart,
I take your children, and that's just the start.
I'm more valued than diamonds, more precious than gold,
The sorrow I bring is a sight to behold.

If you need me remember, I'm easily found
I live all around you, in school, and in town.
I live with the rich, I live with the poor
I live just down the street and maybe next door.

I'm made in a lab, but not like you think,
I can even be made under your kitchen sink.
In your child's closet and even out in the woods,
If this scares you to death then it certainly should.

I have many names, but there is one you know best,
I am sure you've heard of me: My name is "CRYSTAL METH."
My power is awesome, try me, you'll see
But if you do, you may never break free.

Just try me once and I might let you go,
But if you try me twice, then I am your soul.
When I posses you, you'll, and you'll lie,
You'll do what you have to do, just to get high.

You'll lie to your mother, you'll steal from your dad,
When you see their tears, you must feel sad.
Just forget your morals and how you were raised,
I'll be your conscience, I'll teach you my ways.

I take kids from their parents, I take parents from their kids
I take people from God, I separate friends
I'll take everything from you, your looks, and your pride,
I'll be with you always, right by your side.

You'll give up everything,
Your family, your home,
Your money, your friends
Then you'll be alone

I'll take and I'll take till you have no more to give,
When I finish with you you'll be lucky to live.
If you try me be warned "This Is Not A Game"
If I'm given the chance, I'll drive you insane

I'll savage your body, I'll control your mind
I'll own you completely, your soul will be mine.
The nightmares I'll give you while you are laying in bed
My voice you will hear from inside your head

The sweats, the shakes, and the visions you'll see
But I want you to know, these are your gifts from me.
But then it's too late, you'll know in your heart,
That you are now mine and we shall never part.

You'll regret that you tried me (they always do)
But you came to me, NOT I to you,
You knew this would happen, many times you were told,
But you challenged my power you chose to be bold

You should have said "NO" and then walked away
If you could live that day over, now what would you say???
I'll even help take you to your grave

Now that you've met me, what will you do?
Will you try me or not, it's up to you
I can show you more misery then words can tell,
Come hold my hand, let me take you to HELL!

A Couple Of Quizzes

While on a blog that I frequently visit, I saw there that they had links to a couple of quizzes. So I thought I would share them with you.

The first one is which Peanuts character are you most like. I am the following Peanuts character.


You are Franklin!

I don't really remember this character. But you can take the quiz by clicking here.

Now the next quiz I did was the "Cute Animal Quiz." The end results was:

You Are A: Bear Cub!

Bears are strong and independent creatures who roam in the forest in search of food. Bears are usually gentle, but anger one and be prepared for their full fury! You're big, you're tough, you won't back down from a fight -- classic attributes of a bear. Intelligent and resourceful, though lazy at times, you are a fascinating creature of the wild.

You were almost a: Kitten or a Turtle
You are least like a: Chipmunk or a MouseWhat Cute Animal Are You?

So if you want to take this quiz then click here.

Go ahead, take the two quizzes and tell me which Peanuts character and "cute animal" you are.

New Music Video

I have a new video up. It is a good one. It is Bohemian Rhapsody by Queen. It is the original. Not the Wayne's World version. Although I could have put it up. But maybe I will another time. Queen is an awesome band. R.I.P. Freddy Mercury. For those of you that don't know much about, I suggest that you listen to Killer Queen, Another One Bites The Dust, Somebody To Love, We Will Rock You, We Are The Champions, Crazy Little Thing Called Love (yes they covered it), You're My Best Friend, Under Pressure, I Want To Break Free, and many others. But for this week enjoy my song selection.

Happy Thanksgiving From Your Friendly Neigbourhood Mother Canucker

Well, for us Canadians this weekend is a long weekend. It is our Thanksgiving. It's the one of the few times of the year where we can truly reflect back on what we are truly thankful for. I think that society as a whole doesn't do this enough. We don't reflect on what we are thankful for. We just go on with our day to day activities and don't really reflect. But when a holiday like Thanksgiving or Christmas comes upon us then we stop and reflect almost like we are forced too. We should not have feel like it's a pain to reflect once in awhile. I am sure counting our blessing once in awhile wouldn't be such a bad thing. It's just that there are times when I am sure you feel like you don't have many blessings or much to be thankful for. Just think that there are people who are worse off then you or I are. But we usually end up dwellings on the negatives rather then the positives. But I digress, that if you take the time to think about it, you will come up with a few things to be thankful for.

Here is my list of things that I am thankful for.

Some Items I Am Thankful For:

• There is no snow on the ground just yet.
• I have a house and home to come home to.
• For the love of a family (even though there are fights sometimes).
• My natural ability to sing (when I sing karaoke people tell me I am good).
• My ability to play drums as well as I can (I am still getting better though).
• My sideburns (people who I don't know think that they are cool).
• My neice, nephew, and new niece or nephew on the way (don't know which yet).
• Just having my job.
• My awesome ability to wail (Mark Jensen, Steve Reid, and a few others know what I am talking about).

What I am doing is going to my mom's boyfriend's house for supper on Sunday, which would be today of course. But yesterday (Saturday) my mom phoned out to the farm and made it official that I was going to Ron's house for supper because he wanted it there which is cool with me. My mom wanted Thanksgiving supper at the apartment. My mom then asked me if I liked cream or kernel corn. I said both. So I guess I will get whatever she decides. Of course I had to ask about dessert. I mean come on, it's Thanksgiving. What's Thanksgiving without dessert? My mom said she is making one apple pie. She asked if I like apple pie and I said yes, apple pie is fine with me. I hope there is whipped cream or something along those lines. I totally forgot to ask her about it. But if there isn't then oh well. I have be at Ron's in the afternoon sometime. My neice and the middle sibling, which is my sister will also be there.

For the rest of you, I hope you have a safe holiday. Eat, drink, and be marry. But do it all in moderation though. Drinking wine on a full stomach of turkey will make a person drowsy. It's common sense. Or at least Seinfeld will teach you that. I am refering to that episode where Jerry Seinfeld is dating that chick who collects all those toys and Jerry wants to play with them. Some of you will know what I am talking about.

Happy Thanksgiving!

Feeling Like Crap & Online Spam

Yesterday which was Monday, I woke up with a cold. I know if you eat right... blah, blah, blah, you will not get a cold. But a lot of people eat right and still get ill. Anyways, it didn't help that I was a bit tired. Well the fact that I stayed up past midnight didn't help anything either. But I had to work a bingo which was a drag. There was one point during the bingo in which is just felt like immobile in a sense of body just shutting down. It's something I never experience before. EVER!!! At least I think I never experienced that. I guess not wearing the proper clothing in this coldish weather helps people catch a cold. If you can believe it or not, I am still wearing shorts and sandles. You might call me foolish or strange for doing so. But hey, I always go as long as I can in shorts. Call me crazy but that is how I am.
=======================================================
Lately, I have seen spam on a few blogs that I read. Why do people spam? Does it make them feel any better about themselves. Or are they just out to WHORE (sorry for such an ugly word) a product, service, or their own blog. It's like people are desperate for hits to a site, blog, and what not. It's not like their lives will become anymore enriched when they spam. If some people got paid to spam then they would of course be millionaires. Someone would be insane to pay someone to spam online. But of course, someone would have cruel intentions if they paid someone to spam.

Even on some message boards that I go on, I see spam on a regular basis. I think, why do people spam? It's not like you are going to accomplish anything by it. It's like they have no shame in spamming. They spam without thinking twice. I mean does a person have that much time on their hands that they feel the need to spam? It just makes you wonder.

There are ways to filter out spam. But of course, it's not all fool proof. Some spam can slip through the radar which is understandable. Then we as a site, blog, or whatever type of administrator have to take the appropriate measures and precautions to ensure that the spam is removed. I know it might take an extra five minutes of your day to remove a bit of unwanted spam. But what's five minutes when you are removing some objectionable spam like porn and other offensive and non offensive spam. But people will always try to find ways around the spam blocking and filtering if they try which is the sad thing.

But I digress, we will always find spam online no matter where we look. It's just that some people will refuse to ignore it, while others do something about it.

My Car, Computer Keyboard, & More

I haven't made a blog post in over a week and I will explain why. So read on.

Today I went to church. Then after church I went to Bonanza for lunch. I don't know why I went there. Anyways, Bonanza is what it is. The food there is the usual. After I was finished lunch I went to start my car. I thought what the heck is going? It seemed odd that my car wouldn't start. It started fine after church. So I tried to start it again. But it wouldn't start. Then I phoned my mom's place. Of course there was no answer. I then decided to start my car again. It wouldn't start. I then phoned CAA. CAA of course was a last resort. I told them what they needed to know. As I waited for the tow truck to come I tried starting my car again. Once again NOTHING. It wouldn't start. The tow truck came and gave me a boost. Then I left.

I then went home to feed my two dogs, Buck (male) and Christy (female). That is one of the few things that I have to do. I went home because I didn't know if my car would start or not. But luckily it did. So then I went back into town. Good waste of gas I say. Anyways, I went back into town and went to The Source by Circuit City which used to be known as Radio Shack. I went there because I needed a keyboard and I didn't really want to go to Wal-Mart just to get a cheapy $10 one. So I was looking around and I found one for $20. That total came to $22.79. That was with tax and all that jazz. The keyboard is good enough for what I need it for. I had to get a new keyboard because earlier last week the home row of the keyboard stopped working. I was typing something and all of a sudden none of the home row showed up on the screen. So that is why there have not been a lot of blog updates.

Thankfully my car started. Then after that I went home and hooked up the new keyboard. Then I went on MSN and AIM messengers. I was then talking to Marky Mark Jensen on MSN. Mark then wanted to do an audio conversation with me. So I accepted and we started talking. But for some reason Mark was all choppy and what not. I told him that and he didn't know what the problem was. Then we seemed to get that figured out. Mark then wanted me to wail. So I did. We talked about a bunch of stuff like music and what not. Mark sent me a couple clips of the jam session we had. It was where Matt was playing drums, Mark was playing guitar, and of course me wailing. Good times! Good times! I didn't hear the rest of yet. But I will though. Mark then said we should update our blogs. I was going to anyways.

I then had to go with my dad to the field because I had to drive the truck back to the yard because my dad was bringing the combine in from the field. I then saw my sister coming up the highway and I knew that she would be stopping in at the farm on her way back to Saskatoon. Then I did some stuff around the house like I burned garbage, unloaded the dishwasher, and other exciting stuff. Well... not really but it has to be done.

After that I finished my column that I write for wrestling sites. Pro wrestling sites that is. I might post it here on my blog. That is if I get the urge to do so.

That was basically my day.
======================================================
Tomorrow I have to work a bingo yet again. It's an afternoon bingo. The only reason I am working it is because my dad is working and he can't be there. Otherwise he would most likely be there. It's not like I have much to do anyways besides get paid and get a light bulb for my car headlight. I guess that can wait till Tuesday of course. The bingo is for MacDowall and District Lions or MAD Lions for short. At least it gets me out of the house till it's time for me to go to work. That's what I will be doing for the afternoon tomorrow.
======================================================
A new video is up. It is called Just Take My Heart by Mr. Big. Mr. Big is a very good band. If you are into the 80's style of hair rock then you will like this band. Mr. Big made it big in Japan. But some people in North America consider Mr. Big a one hit wonder, which they are not. Mr. Big have other songs besides Just To Be With You. I don't get why people associate Just To Be With You when they think of Mr. Big. They do have other songs like Daddy Lover Brother Little Boy, Road Ruin, Green Tinted Sixties, Just Take My Heart, Wild World (originally done by Cat Stevens), etc., etc.. Anyways, Just Take My Heart is a good song. It is one their more baladish songs. I suggest you check out their other songs.
