Breakfast at Tim Hortons
A Canadian man was having coffee and croissants with butter and jam in a Tim Horton's cafe, when an American man, chewing gum, sat down next to him. The Canadian man ignored the American, who, nevertheless started up a conversation. The American snapped his gum and said, "You Canadian folk eat the whole bread?"
"Of course." the Canadian replied
The American blew a huge bubble. "We don't. In the States, we only eat what's inside. The crusts we collect in a big container, recycle them, transform them into croissants and sell them to Canada."
The American had a smirk on his face. The Canadian listened in silence.
The American persisted. "Do ya eat jelly with the bread?"
Sighing, the Canadian replied, "Of course."
Cracking his gum between his teeth, the American said, "We don't. In the States, we eat fresh fruit for breakfast, then we
put all the peels, seeds and leftovers in containers, recycle them, transform them into jam and sell it to Canada."
The Canadian then asked, "Do you have sex in the States?"
The American smiled and said, "Why of course we do."
The Canadian leaned closer to him and asked, "And what do you do with the condoms once you've used them?"
"We throw them away, of course," said the American.
Now it was the Canadian's turn to smile. "We don't. In Canada, we put them in a container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing gum, and sell them to the United States."

A quote from a friend over at jk.com...

You know the world is going crazy when...

The best rapper is a white guy,
The best golfer is a black guy,
and the Germans don't want to go to war.

Two elderly gentlemen from a retirement center
were sitting on a bench
under a tree when one turns to the other and
says, "Sam, I'm 83 years old now and I'm just full of aches and pains.
I know you're about my age. How do you feel?"
Sam says, "Well, I feel just like a new-born baby."
"Really!? Like a baby!?"
"Yep. No hair, no teeth, and I think I just wet myself."

"The Most Functional Word (Rated R)"


Well it's Shit ........ That's right, Shit!
Shit may just be the most functional word in the English language.

Consider this;
You can be shit faced,
Shit out of luck,
Or have shit for brains.

With a little effort, you can get your shit together,find a place for your shit
Or decide to shit or get off the pot.

You can smoke shit,
Buy shit, sell shit,
Lose shit, find shit,
Forget shit,
And tell others to eat shit and die.

Some people know their shit,
while others can't tell the difference between shit and shine.

There are lucky shits
Dumb shits,
Crazy shits,
and sweet shits.

There is bull shit,
Horse shit,
and chicken shit
you can throw shit,
Sling shit,
catch shit,
shoot shit,
or duck when shit hits the fan.

You can give a shit,
or serve shit,

You can be happier than a pig in shit,
or You can find yourself in deep shit.

Some days are cold as shit,
some days are hot as shit, and some days are just plan shitty.

Some music sounds like shit,
things can look like shit, and there are times when you feel like shit.

You can have too much shit,
not enough shit,
the right shit,
the wrong shit,
or a lot of weird shit.

You can carry shit,
have a mountain of shit,
or find yourself up shit's creek
without a paddle.

Sometimes every thing you touch
turns to shit.
And others times you fall in a
bucket of shit and come out
smelling like a rose.

When you stop to consider all the facts,
it's the basic building block of creation.

And remember, once you know your shit,
you don't need to know anything else!

Pass this shit along, if you give a shit

So here I am going out of my mind...I hate my job...no I don't hate it but lately I just do not want to deal with people!! It's like when I'm working all the stupid people come out of the wood-work...I've been told off by so many customers I can't help but be reminded of Bruce Willis in "The Kid" when he asks his secretary, "If I get called a jerk five times in one day does that make me one?" I was told off by a sixteen year old today. Last week it was the husband of a customer who wasn't happy with her service...

Enough about that...

My grandmother has been staying with us...very stressful to say the least...she's going home on the weekend...I love her but OMG!! I can only handle so much belching at the dinner table! And she's so deaf that I have a headache from screaming at her....and she tells me I'm wasting my life on "that thing" meaning my beloved computer...I use "that thing" primarily for my writing and photography but it also has it's entertainment value--there's no denying that--but it's my business what I do with my free time!!

I am getting tired of winter...please God--bring spring!!!

Canadian singer Sarah Harmer...love her voice and simple yet meaningful lyrics....

basement apt.


well you live out where the street ends
in a basement apartment with one of your friends
and the tap drips all night
water torture in the sink
the furnace is burning
but it's still cold i think


and i can smell the bleach that they use in the hall
but it can't clean the dirt off of me
it's seeping under the door
in across the floor
it's starting to hurt
everytime i breathe
everytime i try to leave
everytime i breathe


now the toaster sticks
and the empties are piled
i haven't been up the stairs in a while now
gotta wash the sheets on my bed
gotta watch those things that go unsaid
god i wish we'd leave it at this


everytime i breathe
everytime i try to leave
everytime i breathe


and every evening, you open the door
you come down
there's nothing like watching tv all night underground
and no one is watching me slide
below street level
barely alive


now we live out
where the street ends
in a basement apt. just like our friends
we always said that we were different
but you know now that we weren't
'cause there's holes in all the bottles and my lungs hurt
everytime i breathe
everytime i try to leave
everytime i breathe

How many emails do I need? Apparently about nine or ten...

How many do I use regularly? One...

But some sites give you an email address whether you want one or not...to have anything to do with Yahoo you must have an email account with them...personally I prefer good old Hotmail...

Woke up at eight this morning realizing that the power had gone out sometime through the night...have to open store at 11 so I still had at least an hour to sleep...reset my alarm and went back to dream land...

Woke up again and looked at my clock...power had gone out again...found my watch...OH GREAT!! It's 10 o'clock...jumped out of bed and went upstairs to make coffee...

My grandmother is staying with us after a 7 week stay in hospital...I was explaining to her about the whole internal clock thing and about the power being off and two minutes later she starts telling me how she couldn't get the stove to work and she tried all four burners and nothing! Sanility is a wonderful thing...

So it is now about 10:15 and I'm wolfing down toast and inhaling my "Super Tim" mug full of coffee...have about fifteen minutes to get ready and of course I'm making the internet a priority this morning...

Well time to check my emails...

Another wasted day gone in a blink...went to work, came home, ate supper and went to visit my friend and former sister-in-law who just happens to be eight months pregnant with my ex room-mate's baby...Dan the misunderstood man...gets a bad rep but I give him points for sticking around...

I'm feeling very thin after the visit...never mind that we weigh the same and she is eight months prego...but I'm about four inches taller than her so that's my excuse...ha ha...

Found out tonight that the mother of former Monkey Michael Nesmith was the inventor of Liquid Paper...more useless information to clog my brain...and now yours...

If anyone knows me well enough they know I want to be a writer...or a photographer...or a singer...OK...so there are endless possibilities for me...well I doubt I'll ever be a singer because honestly I don't believe I have the talent...but writing is my thing anyway. And again come all the choices...which area do I focus on? Do I continue on that long journey of song-writing; should I continue with my short stories? Or should I make the decision to be a Hollywood script writer and work like mad to hit that April 17th deadline for the Acclaim TV Screenwriting competition? I finally received my copy of "Will & Grace; Will On Ice" from Script City ($40 later)...was going to enter the script I've been writing into the ABC/Disney fellowship program but as a Canadian citizen I'm not eligible...sucks I know but I did make a smart move recently...I applied for the Green Card Lottery...so you just never know...I may be a Yank within a year after-all...but if that doesn't happen I'll find myself on a plane back to Edmonton this time next year...that would be awesome considering how much I miss everyone there.

OK...so I'm boring myself writing this and I'm guessing that if anyone has bothered to read this they are thinking, "So what?" So I'll stop for now and update later...
