New Year's

Hi,
I don't mean to be a New Year's scrooge, but... well, yes I do. Why do people wish you a Happy New Year? Why not New Month? I used to celebrate New Months.

I've asked why the significance of New Year's to people who actually give a crap about it. They give me this whole talk about "new beginnings." So 2006 was that bad? At the end of 2005 someone wished you a Happy New Year, but I guess 2006 was a crappy year, so they have to wish you a Happy 2007 too. What about when 2007 is almost over?

You know the U2 song, "New Year's Day?" "Nothing changes on New Year's Day?" I couldn't agree more...

Merry Christmas!

Hi,
Did you actually think I was going to complain this week? It's Christmas!

Well, ok, maybe one little complaint... how about this "Happy Holidays" crap. Like, we're in a christian country, right? The main "holiday" here is Christmas. So instead of all these people "not wanting to offend anyone", why don't we just be more specific in wishing a happy holiday, and say "Merry Christmas" to each other?

the City

Hi,
Today, I'd just like to thank each and every one of you who voted for our wishy-washy, can't-make-a-decision mayor. Our city council is like a freakin' circus!

the weather

Hey,
I forgot to update on Friday. And, since I have nothing to complain about today, I'll complain about what every Canadian has the right to complain about. Honestly though, the weather here isn't that bad. Except freezing rain, that sucks. But the worst part about the weather is the morons who say, 'Hot enough for ya?' Or (if it's cold), 'Cold enough for ya?'

The next time someone asks me one of these dumb-ass questions, I'm going to punch them in the face, and when they're lying on the flooor, I'll ask them if that bruise is 'Purple enough for ya?' (not only do I complain, I have a lot of rage)

Our Mayor

Hi,
Until yesterday, I was thinking of what to write today. Then, I heard about what our bonehead mayor-elect did, and gave himself a raise BEFORE he took office, before he did anything. That's almost like, going to a job interview, then the employer calls you a few days later and tells you that you got the job, and your salary will be $xxxxx per year. And, you're like, "No, I want $xxxxx + $32000".

This guy's a High-Tech guy. All these high-tech guys think about is money. I always thought that. That's why I didn't vote for him. He's a money-hungry dickweed. Some of these guys aren't, but most are. Ask a high-tech guy which he'd prefer: a loving family with a few kids, making an honest salary, or a family who can't stand you, eternally single, fat and ugly, but making $200 000 per year. I'll bet they go for the latter.
