Why can't they just do their jobs?

I can't stand it.
Why are people so lazy?
Why can't they do their work properly?
Why is it that I'm the last one in the office,
when they have more work to do?

Go and drink your damn espresso.
Go and chat at the water cooler.
Go and surf the internet.
Go and talk for hours on end on the phone.

WTF is going on?

The Simpons
still has its moments...

Is it worth it?

I was able to purchase
U2 tickets for one of their
Toronto shows in September.

I almost panicked,
because the Ticketmaster
website was so busy;
but I was able to finally
get some mediocre tickets.

Originally there was only
two shows,
but half an hour into sales,
they announced two more shows.

They sold out pretty quick.

Movies

Be Cool
An enjoyable movie.
Didn't expect much,
but really enjoyed it.
The Rock and Andre 3000
were very funny.

The Village
Since I was able
to figure out what
was happening
during the first
ten minutes,
the rest of the movie
wasn't very
impressive.

Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow
An enjoyable action type
science fiction movie.

DB.

Ida know...

Here it is,
five days past
the Ides of March.

I was hoping
to be riding my bike
to work by now.

The weather
is still cold...
and snowing.

DB.

The Wild Boys!

Barbarella, what a crazy one she was.

What would people think if you were
sitting in your car in a parking lot,
honking the horn, and flashing the
lights on and off?

Would they think that you were stealing
the car?

DB.

Frigidity

Oh why does it have to get so cold again.

After a relatively warm day, where we even
had a short thunderstorm in the afternoon,
now it will go down to -14C tonight.

Walking home from the Streetcar
was a be-a-tch. It must have taken me
twice as long to walk that short distance,
because of all the ice on the sidewalk.

I nearly fell on my @$$ several times,
and under the railway bridge, where large
mounds of ice collect from the weep holes
in the retaining wall, there is a massive
hunk of ice, that requires some climbing.

I nearly slid onto the road, into oncoming
traffic on that one.

I shouldn't complain though, as I am in
my warm home, as countless homeless
people are freezing tonight.

It will spring...

Icy crystals fly;
the bitter wind is blowing.
Only twenty days.

DB.

...marching right along...

The end is coming,
winter is almost done.

It's actually past
pretty quickly.

I'm looking forward
to Spring...

These thoughts
come
as it is snowing
heavily
outside.

LOL...

DB.

Bye bye, so long...

It's odd
knowing that somone
will be fired,
when they don't
have a clue.

I had a feeling
it would happen
before too long,
and today was
the confirmation.

Now it's only
when...

Motorhead

Those two growths
on Lemmy's left cheek
seem to be growing larger
as he grows older.

And what exactly are they,
sebaceous cysts?

I'm guessing he
doesn't have them
removed,
because it is a sort
of trademark now.

Ace of Spades

What a vicious smell
this evening,
on the Queen Street
Streetcar.

The so called snowstorm
that the weather forecasters
have forecast today,
has made everything rather damp.

People seem to forget,
that when there is major snow,
the temperature is generally
close to zero Celsius.

On these days when there
is major snowfall,
people wear their heaviest
winter clothing,
and end up sweating under it all.

And to make matters worse,
the heaters on the Streetcar
were making it very warm,
and the ventilation seemed
not to work.

Things smelled
pretty raw.
Like wet dogs.
With wet down filled
coats.

DB.

Engorged

When I think of the word
Engorged,
the image that comes to mind,
is a bloated bed bug.

...and the image of this
makes me ill.

But this week,
I have been feeling
engorged myself.

Bloated with air,
not blood.

I can't wait for Spring,
when I will be riding
my bike to work,
once again.

It has been a very
lazy Winter
for me.

I am close
to going
back to
the next
hole in my
belt.

yuck yuck

The other day,
while on the TTC Queen Street
streetcar, there were two
effeminate looking,
gentlemen.

They sat down across from me,
at the back of the streetcar.

I was listening to my new
Zen Micro,
enjoying some good music.

These two men
proceeded to take out their camcorder,
which was an older model,
not as small as current models.

The older looking gentleman
opened the monitor on the side,
and started playing the tape,
which was of a comedy act that they had just seen
at a local comedy club.

Instead of keeping it to themselves,
the volume was loud enough
for most of the people in the back
half of the streetcar to hear.

I could hear it clearly,
even with my earbuds on.

They just had to laugh
and talk loudly in French,
making comments of the video.

Very annoying.

I pulled out my camera,
and wanted to take a picture,
but felt self conscious about it.

There was another guy watching me,
as I pretended to look at
pictures on my camera.

If there was more distance
between us,
I would have snapped it.

CBS are the bad ones?

Mr. Gibson,

How can you say, “Sorry we blew up your town, but we had to do it. You let Al-Zarqawi set up shop there.”?

You expect the civilians who live in Fallujah to keep Al-Zarqawi from setting up shop in their city? Are you serious?

Look at what it took the American Armed Forces to get him and his cronies out of there.

Would you say the same thing to an American city, if it were overrun by a Terrorist Group? I think not.

And then I just love the following comment you made, “These are people who just don't get it. These are people for whom reality is a distant moon orbiting their strange little world.”

I think you have it wrong here. Those poor terrorized civilians in Fallujah are living in reality. You are the one who’s reality is on a distant moon.

You have made many unbelievable comments in the past, but this one takes the cake.

p.s. No I do not hate Americans. I may disagree with some of your Governments policies, but I respect the American ‘people’, the same way I respect the Iraqi ‘people’, but not their former dictator. The only thing I don’t respect is idiotic comments like the one you’ve made. I’d love to see you try to defend your comment.

Zippo

This is futile!

What're you looking for?

Some roaches. I'm homeless man.

Ah, yes.

You know how many people smoke a spliff, before going to the movies?

Oh yeah, for sure. You can always smell it when you walk past here.

Got a light?

Sorry man, I don't smoke.

Don't be sorry. Make sure you stay like that.

Why don't you quit?

I'm homeless man.

Ah.

Oh look! I found another one!

DB

Obsession

Not CK.

I'm the Stranger...

Standing in the train,
with his Parka on his head,
staring at the door, staring at the wall.

I saw him again, and now I know it's a man.
Although this time it was on an hour later train,
but on the same car, second from the front.

I watched him, and he behaved the same as before.
When he heard somebody coming, he'd get all nervous,
and try his hardest to face away from where they were coming.

But he slipped up, and I could see his face for a split second.
It was a thin, long face,
maybe the same age as me.

I wondered if he saw that I was watching,
and if he knew that somebody had seen him.
Did he care?

He departed at the Exhibition again,
and I wondered how he buys his train tickets.
Does he go to the cashier, or buy them through the machine?

DB

Danger!

Storm, what storm?

Once again, the storm that was supposed to hit the GTA,
is less than what was expected.

Why do I let myself, over and over again,
get my hopes up, when I should know better?

It really does seem that the weather forecasters
have been wrong 99% of the time lately.

Should we accept this,
or should we be complaining?

I can't help but think that these completely wrong forecasts,
impact the economy in many ways.

I look out the window at the traffic on the Gardiner,
which is lighter than normal.

Have people stayed home again, as happens whenever there is a
Winter Storm Warning?

It seems that Toronto has a barrier around it,
a type of force field that keeps the Storms North and South of us.

Should I really believe that Monday will be 13C?
Last week they were calling for 13C THIS week, but I'm freezing my @$$ off!

LR has repeatedly told me I could be a meteorologist.
Sure, I could make uneducated 'guesses' too...
