I'm hoping (against all odds) to get a new posting running one of the above shovels at the mine. There appears to be the opportunity for movement to go through the roof this coming year, but I need a change stat. I'm becoming increasingly fed up with having to throw my mind's switch into neutral every time I board my truck. I keep reminding myself that it's only for four days, and that it affords a fine lifestlye. That said, change is a good thing - and I'd be happy changing jobs every two years in this industry. Word around the campfire is that we're hiring 80-100 employees within a year to keep up with the aging workforce who are set to retire. Good thing, because another year or two on a truck whould really have me wondering how some guys have managed to do the same thing for 20+ yrs!?!? Which brings me to the question: are the majority of us working to maintain a lifestlye, or are we working to challenge ourselves?

Couple of pimps...wow - there's just no shortage of sweet pics of these guys. My god, would you just look at that scene!

Only Jr could pull this one off; wondering though if this was before or after the latest concussion? Perhaps it infuriated someone enough to throw the afore mentioned hit! You may have to past this into your browser, I'm having a bastard of a time gettin a link up! Be sure to however, as this is hilarious.

Cute Stewie site!

Check this out y'all

005 & 006 undercover at a recent wedding. The two MI6 operatives try gallantly to uncover the mystery of a rogue Sicilian assassin working as a bartender. Alas, they drank too much and forgot the assignment.

Good morning, apparently Mr. Morgan would like this blog updated everyday, I'll try my best to cooperate. He also has an annoying habit of signing of on his comments with grand comments regarding his flavor of the week, the Calgary Flames. Though I'd enclose this picture of a young Canuck's fan who already knows how to treat those Albertan bastards and bitches!

I had something I had really wanted to put on here this morning, but sleep deprivation is hitting me hard, looking at my bed I feel only the urge to rest; not to share my innermost thoughts. So, damn you all I'm going to embrace sweet slumber.

Tommorrow's the day when globally people will run in the name of Terry Fox, a BC boy, a man in a boys body doing what so few could dream. Take a minute and think of what it must have been like...we owe him that much.

HAAHAA

Apparently so did portly Keith Tkachuk, anyone out there ever hear of a player being SUPSENDED for showing up to camp fat? Thinking there must be more to this story, maybe he was like the fella JFu and I saw the other day, sucking on a crack pipe in a foyer! Perhaps, like seemingly all our youth - he was on the meth. Or maybe, just maybe - he showed up looking like Dom Delouise. However you cut it, a story to be followed for sure.

'Swedish Accent" Must find salted kippers, damn you Daniel - find me da salted fish.

Predict a lot of points for these fishless and rather freaky looking Lads.

This should be the Nuck's FOURTH jersey! Aqualinni (Sp?) could make another million...logger style red plaid on the shoulders and trim...mmm - sweet!

BTW - check out http://www.danecook.com/ This guy is fucking hilarious!

New NHL video explaining what the league plans to do in order to improve the game. The music reminds me of a chase scene for Raiders of the Lost Arc or something. Good vid for the Yanks, but the tunes are worse than background music during a golf tourney. Check it out:

Gotta love this one...see the Presedential response wasn't slow at all, he and Senior where surveying the damage first hand.

My sister and I need an answer - does anyone actually know what the work 'Blog' stands for? It's history and the like?

Boy am I getting excited...find out how 'staying the course' is gonna treat us. JFu and I will be watching the opening game (#99's debut as a coach) on Bob's sweet ass new plasma TV!!!

Before anyone comments...I know the pic doesn't fit the film/book in the below blog post; however - I like the sniper rifle...off to bed, cheers ya'll.

Howdy kiddos, Started reading a pulp title today that the Doc recommended to me ages ago. The Bourne Identity (thus far - 150 pgs) paints a much crueler and more tormented
character than we see on the screen. Which gets me to my point; the Jason Bourne character rocks, he's filling the Bond lull we all currently suffer. As I understand it, there are three titles to this series, could a clever screenwriter come up with other scripts to keep this franchise going? Car chases haven't been this good since Bullit and Ronin, and the fight scenes are in a category of cruely frightening realism I've never seen. Can't wait to finish the book and review the film again. Certainly won't be time wasted.

More retail woes...bought a air purifier a while back when the Doc was visiting. Though it was a sweet deal; however - I've learned that buying a 'floor model' blows big time. Loved the subtle lights on this unit, and it's relaxing hum. Wanting to take care of this machine, I thought I'd check on the three month Heppa filter. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't all clogged with Bailey fur. And what do I find? No Fucking Filter! Off to Future Shop, no filters for sale - just return it for another unit they say. Go home, bring said piece of shit back; low and behold - nothing else in stock. They're willing to 'keep me happy' by selling me this years model (uh, exactly the same as last years (the on I had) model for 'just $60 more. Took my cash and got the hell out of there before contemplating calling in the lads from the Revolution to unleash some fury on that joint. Or maybe it was my fault for buying the fucking demo???

Love this image of the Canucks upcoming 2nd line, between Spliffs and Rastafarian rumblings, these lads are gonna kick some serious ass in this so-called 'new league'

This is a test of my pic posting ability, thanks for the link JFu, that site made me pee my pants damn near!

Funny thing happened today at the video store. Old news, but rented an original and clever film that came out of Hollywood. What a refreshing treat 'Crash' was. A beautifully intertwined story that made you think about how we see and are seen by our neighbors. Don't walk - run to rent this film. Moviemaking at a level that LaLaLand rarely releases. Don Cheadle is a bonafide star, and (love this name) Paul Haggis wrote one hell of a script.

Well, never thought they could fuck me again, but the HBC managed to do it yet. As many of you know I worked for the Bay back in the day when I was working two jobs to make ends meet. Well, gotta tell ya I avoid the place like the plague now. Regardless, shopping with JFu today we wandered into hell where I found a pair of pants to my liking. Stood in line for too long, watching a couple of foolish Steelworkers fuck the dog. All of a sudden I'm being becconed to another till. I'm truly entranced watching the salesperson go through the same routine I did (on the same equipment) so many years ago. Amazed at everthing, the same receipt bags, same clear plastic boxes beside the till, same shitty add on crap at the till that all the kids love, same offer of a Bay card application; I take my pants (In the same typ of bag) and scurry out trying to explain to my companion my flashback. Getting home later that afternoon, I'm ready for another look at my sweet 40% off purchase. And what do you know? The fucking dye tag is still attatched. Thus, another trip to the land of the incompetent. Think I'll have a stiff drink before returning this time.

Alrighty then, here we go - sorry folks, had forgotten the ever helpful Mr. Fulton had created this wee blog for me, even though I've been surfing by it in my bookmarked section for months. A dissapointing start for Mr. Weir at the Open today as he's six strokes behind the leaders, looks as though he mad up some room in the afternoon however. Another showdown echoing lst years Open would rock. Gotta get ready for work,

Dunc
