Edmonton Cracker Cats Changed their name to the Edmonton Capitals.
Their colors are traditional Oilers colors. White, Oiler Blue and Vintage Orange. The blue is closer to the navy they currently use on their jersey rather then the bright blue of Oilers jerseys past. I assume this would be the same thing they are supposedly doing with their new jerseys that they are coming out with next year. I predicted this would be what they would so since the Oilers bought the team. Sadly their team logo looks embarrassing. A weird super hero? Worse then the fucking cat. :P
I do like the background of the Edmonton Skyline. I would have liked the High level bridge to be put in it as well.
I actually would have liked the team to be named the Edmonton High Levels but that probably would not have been well received.
Hats are a E and C over top of each other, alot like Tampa Bays logo. Primary color seems to be the Oiler blue.
Looking forward to seeing if this helps the team at all. |

A big FUCK YOU goes out to the anti-racism protestors that made a peaceful white pride demonstration violent. Thank you for making us normal folk who are free of racial hate look like a bunch of fucking morons.
I don't really need to start this by saying that I for one am a supporter of anti-racism initiatives. But I am because apparently anyone who questions violence against nazis is racist...sooooooo let me just say that I have lots of friends and colleagues from every part of the planet. But don't think for a second that I am some left wing hippie hack job that believes that the only way to stop racism is through the prevention of free speech by those who hate.
Does this not sound absolutely fucking retarded? The same people who wave the free speech banner when they demonstrate for some yuppy thing like the environment or free trade have no problem what so ever when it comes to blocking the demonstrations of racist bigots? The same people who accuse the police of strong arm tactics to prevent their voices from being heard? Excuses me miss dreads, you may look like you came out of a homeless shelter with your sweat free clothing, but do you really thing you're better then the police and the racists when your group of 300 gangs up on a small contingent of 60 white people who are not reflective on the city of calgary as a whole?
Stop using violence to push your agenda lefties. The only way people are going to stop being racist is if a) they die or b) we use our education system to promote tolerance. Using any excuse to protest just to become an anarchist so you can throw the bricks you have in your help filled sack at the front window of McDonalds doesn't make you further your cause. In fact it makes the people of Calgary look at you with even more disdain.
Its not that Calgarians are not aware of the issues like the environment, animal rights, capitalism, globalization, the use of fossil fuels etc....its just when you dress like a fucking slob and parade around with signs and listen to shitty folk music, that we tune you out. Lefties, if you wanna change our perception of you, be PROFESSIONAL and educate us without the bullshit! |

A big FUCK YOU goes out to Pope Benedict XVI who spoke out in Africa against the use of condoms while trying to convert tribal Africans to Catholicism from "witchcraft."
Listen here and listen well. The statistics in Africa are overwhelming. People are dying left and right because of AIDS. No amount of religious babble is going to change this. Education and safe sex is what the people of Africa need to stop the AIDS pandemic. Abstinence? Sure thats a good way of preventing getting any STDS but at the same token, your dick is probably going to fall off due to lack of use and dust build up. Seriously though, abstinence is not something we should be spending any money educating people on (that message is for you obama) but instead we should be talking about the one product that saves lives. Thats right, condoms.
We don't know why condoms prevent STDS. We do know that they work like a fucking charm. They are cheap to manufacture and if you ever needed one you can get one pretty much anywhere and for free no less. And just because the pope can't get laid, it doesn't mean he has to bring you down with him.
Seriously, mr pope....the kids don't listen to you any more because they are too busy getting laid. You should advocate condom use despite the fact it goes against everything your religion represents. Why? Because you can actually help the people of Africa rather then be a public joke.
Final thing: CREATIONISM IS NOT A SCIENCE! Why the fuck are people in the states awarding degrees in the sciences for studying this? Creationism is about as scientific as Scientology ie. not at all scientific. You don't have to agree with the moral ideas behind evolution but the science that represents the theory is there right in your face. You can't deny what you can see with your own damn eyes. I don't see any proof that Jesus walked with Dinosaurs...other then that episode of 18 kids and counting....lulz.
Anyways....ciao kids. |

I don't talk all to much about the chans any more because to me, the chans are becoming old meme. The propagation of newfags and moralfags has kinda ruined the entire experience of participating on the chans. Sometimes I check the lastest drama on ED or the occasional pron of /rs/ but otherwise, I generally stay off /b/ unless something bat shit insane is going on.
Here is an experience I had just yesterday of how newfags totally ruin /b/ .
Im at work yesterday and I notice that someone has been changing the wallpapers on the machines. A pretty common thing, people like changing the wall paper. Sadly though, the individual changing the backgrounds is changing them to pictures of memes like lolcats, fat kids eating Mcdonalds and demotivational posters. I figure I better do something about it before we end up getting shitting dick nipples or goatse on the machines.
So I just start doing a lap trying to see if I can find the individual who is propagating the failure. Sure enough I find him.
Its a fucking 13 year old white kid with blonde hair and a green properties minor hockey jacket. I look at the kid and see that he's googling "LOL hamster" and attempting to find a image that he felt was "quality" to throw up on the machine.
I watch the failure in progress for a few moments and then go up to him. "Cute Hamster." He looks at me with this arrogant look, like I was missing out on some incredible joke from some SEKRIT INTERNET KLUB. "yeah thanks," he says completely convinced that I was too dumb to understand.
"I have a little secret for you buddy." I lean down close to the kids height, and smiled gently as I was about to wipe that look of his cocky face.
"The Internet is serious business son. You need to go back to Gaia. Now."
The kids mouth just dropped and looked at me with the fear that an animal of prey would have as they were about to be killed and eaten for dinner. The kid then immediately turned and left the store as fast as his feet would carry him.
Fucking epic failure. I hope the kid never uses the internet again. /b/ has always failed but god damn things have just gotten so much worse since the chans have gone mainstream.... |

I find the situation concerning the Quebec couple who got lost after leaving kicking horse out of bonds resulting in the death of a mans wife to be really sad. But seriously, stop blaming the RCMP for your own stupidity. Don't go out of bounds. If you do, bring an avalanche survival kit. Bring more then two granola bars. Take responsibility for your own survival.
Blaming the victims is fun when the victims are not very smart. |

Its probably obvious by just looking at me so you really....don't have to tell me. I work too much. I know.
I'm working really hard towards something I really want. Its really discouraging that this recession stuff came along when it did. I think its part of the reason why I have to be patient and bite my tongue and wait it out.
I need to start watching my mouth a little more then I have been, I find its been getting me in far more trouble then I like.
I'm looking forward to baseball. With the weather the way it is lately, the itch to play slo-pitch is starting to creep up on me which I have been thankfully avoiding for most of the winter because it depresses me so much when I can't play. Looking forward to spring...not long now...
I really want to see that movie Coraline. Looks really good. Carisa made fun of me today for wanting to go to see it. She'd rather take me to see Bride Wars...yeaaaah I'll pass.
Hotels and con badges are booked/paid for Sakura-con this year...really really pumped. I cannot wait to see smile.dk. Thats basically my entire reason for going...other then trolling. I plan to purchase the "I put the 'e' in rap" t-shirt from T-shirt hell just for the occasion.
Otherwise....my life is just continually up and down. I would pretty much say that I am depressed but thankfully the amount of work I have been doing has pretty much ensured that I never really have time to think about it. And when I do have time I'm just so god damn tired that I don't feel like doing anything...or drinking, I sure like to drink now a days. Helps to let it all out sometimes...even if this gets me in trouble sometimes.
Anyways....I need to get out of here. See you around kids. |

I've been listening to "indie electrionica" as iTunes likes to call it.
Basically its the kind of music I really like. A few years back I bought the Avalanches CD, and I've been looking into finding more stuff like it (though that was sampling) and I finally found some stuff. I bought the Crystal Castles CD when they played with NiN. Took me awhile to eventually start liking that CD but once I did I got hooked. Course when I talked about it with Kyle and he introduced me to Justice.
Now I am not a big music guy by any means but Justice...their CD called Cross changed my life. Seriously I don't think I'll ever be the same. Listening to the songs does not do it Justice (LOL). You kinda have to start listening to the start of the album and listen to it all the way through which i've done quite a few times now.
Sooo I am starting to branch out to find some other stuff that is similar.
Ended up downloading an EP by Kavinsky called 1986. Fuck its pretty epic as hell. Its similar to Crystal Castles but less Atari 2600 and more Knight Rider. It honestly makes me feel like i'm a bad ass dude in Miami driving around. It also reminds me of playing Chase HQ in the arcades which was one of the best Arcade games by Taito of all time. Its only 5 tracks but you are just totally enthralled by them the entire time.
Dad ended up telling me about Rory Hoy tonight and I ended up buying the album. It reminds me of the Avalanches more then Crystal Castles but its very very good. Just finished listening to the album, it reminds me a bit of a dream sequence in an Anime show. It also reminds me of hues of green and blue when I try to visualize the music. Really really like it.
Anyways........enough about that.
Life in general is kinda up and down right now. I feel like I've kinda lost my ability to feel. I sometimes think I am so desensitized to pretty much everything. Few things excite me lately, other then going to my favorite job. Even jerseys, a prior vice of mine have kinda not been something on my mind. I had a few discussions with some of my friends that didn't go all that well and I'm kinda upset about that still as well. That being said, I'd like to believe that things are going to get better as soon as spring arrives, my moods generally shift with the weather.
Speaking of which, this past week of glorious weather has made me long for spring that much more now that the temperature has dipped back down to around - 30. Yesterday I was not wearing a jacket, shoveling snow in outdoor seasonal at the Home Depot. Today I'm wearing multiple jackets and feeling like my hands are about to fall off even while wearing gloves. Its a really depressing throught to know that spring is at least 2 months away at minimum. Even on my birthday last year it was too cool to be wearing shorts.
Speaking of my birthday, I'm kinda sad that some of my friends are gonna be in Mexico. Oh well.
I'm wondering how I am gonna make my mark on history.
And with that, s my d mother fuckers. |

This is kinda a stupid rant and an ignorant one but whatever. I can have an opinion even if uninformed.
Why are we, the western nations, only in Iraq and Afghanistan? We need to be invading somewhere else!
I find it sad that the world still has a joyous dictator like Robert Mugabe in control of Zimbabwe. I think if anything, we should be invading that country and help them put the food back on the tables, get rid of their cholera epidemic and get the ruling ZANU-PF party out of power forever.
Shame on the African Union and South Africa for not putting the boots to this fucker. Africa may be still going through many more years of transition but if your continent wants to show that its independent and free then look after yourselves and your neighbors. Stop blaming everything on colonial rule. Yes, we colonialists are fucking bastards. But if you continually blame everything on colonialism and gays, then you are no better then that fucker mugabe. Seriously South Africa, blow the fuck out of that fuck...FUUUCK!
And while I don't quite understand the racial tensions that go on down there but seriously...blacks from Africa, if you don't want to starve you kinda have to work with the whites who know how to run a farm....just a suggestion, its up to you!
Happy new year bitches.

Just wanted to let you all know that the rumors of my death have been highly exaggerated.....
Done approximately half of my christmas shopping. Thats kinda nice. Boopers gift came in today and I am really really impressed with it...can't wait to give it to her.
I really really really like Left 4 Dead as a game but right now its just completely unplayable. I've been really trying to fix my issue with the game which is periodic game freezes with a sound loop. In a game like this, playing though this issue is not acceptable......This almost always occurs in high tension situations like when I am getting attacked by the Horde or like the last time, while a Hunter is on me. I have no way to react or see what the other players are doing...I just sit there and its like....10-15 seconds until it comes back...and thats if there isn't another sound loop right after...There are other players who also have this problem. I have tried updating my video card drivers, tried playing with the settings...the only thing that kinda worked was putting "mat_queue_mode 0" in the console....And even then its not perfect. Its really frustrating playing....
anyways...thats all for now. :) |

Won't you call my private number?
We can go away for the summer!
We can drive around with the top down
Stereo turned up loud with a fat sound
Cause I'm yours to keep if you want to
But I hear that you wanna ditch me
But you know I'm not such a bad seed.

Cause I'm yours to keep if you want to
Won't you come on down to the freak show?
He can sit along as my hair grows.

So watching the Flames turn from potential contenders as they are every year into a mediocre team doesn't quite fill me with the same joy as it would have a few years ago. In fact it kind of pisses me off to be frank. The rivalries aren't quite so exciting when one team is just sucking ass. Oilers and Canucks games in Calgary were boring affairs with the Flames easily giving up leads. Not that I mind but I still like to see competitive games.
My red sox came back from the brink yesterday. I suppose tomorrow might be another matter but its good to know that they didn't give up.
Uugh anyways....im tired.
Just wanted to let you all know i'm still alive. |

Maybe in another life
I could find you there
Pulled away before your time
I can‘t deal it‘s so unfair
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven‘s so far away
And it feels
Yeah it feels like
The world has grown cold
Now that you‘ve gone away
Leaving flowers on your grave
Show that I still care
But black roses and Hail Mary‘s
Can‘t bring back what‘s taken from me
I reach to the sky
And call out your name
And if I could trade
I would
And it feels
And it feels like
Heaven‘s so far away
And it stings
Yeah it stings now
The world is so cold
Now that you‘ve gone away |

I resolve to resolve this.
With great reluctance but great hope, I picked up Samba de Amigo for Wii yesterday. For those who have known me for quite awhile, you all know and understand that I have a little bit of an obsession with this game. My love affair with this game came about from two things: First, at the time I had an undying love for games made by Sonic Team. Second was my year quest of trying to find a pair of Maracas to go with the game since I choked on buying them when I bought the game. Thanks Hansen!
Samba de Amigo is a music game. You use maracas. Hilarity and fun begin pretty much as soon as you pick it up. Great party game.
Sega as of late has been sucking ass. Their games lack the soul that they used to have. Even so I appreciated their efforts in trying to bring back their core fans, especially with the release of NiGHTS back a few months ago. But then again, I never finished playing the game because well.... I felt a little part of me die when NiGHTS started speaking in a Peter Pan style voice. And as lame as that sounds, its the only thing preventing me from enjoying that game.
So when I heard that Samba de Amigo was being released on Wii, I was skeptical but pumped. Wii by by far is the best system for this game. Its like it was made for it. However Sega has fucked me before!
Anyways....
Game begins with a intro scene.....I was slightly scared but the intro movie is basically nonsense, fun and maintains the sense of place the game came from. Amigo doesn't have a voice. :)
The game immediately gives you a calibration screen which you encounter one of the first problems. First is the maraca controller add ons. They are not made to stay on the controller, ditch them immediately. Secondly is the way the Wii recognizes the height of the remotes. High and low shakes are pretty similar, just hold them up or down. At regular height though, the wii wants you to hold it like you would a TV remote. The Dreamcast version has you hold the maracas like you would maracas...with the shaker part up. An annoyance to say the least, but you'll get used to it. Only other weird thing concerning the controls, to have both maracas pointed in the same way, one must be over top of the other. Took me some time to figure that out.
Game setup is expanded with easier to navigate menus. No longer to you move up and down with the left maraca and shake with the right to navigate screens. Its simple wii remote point and click menus. Fantastic to navigate for sure.
Career mode is where you will spend most of your time. Its basically arcade mode but passing songs to get the unlockables. From what i've played, the difficulty level goes up at a pretty reasonable rate. Easy and Normal are the only modes ready to play from the beginning of career mode. If you are playing arcade mode, Easy Normal and Hard are ready to play, Superhard and Random you have to unlock. This annoys me a little bit as I am a decent enough Amigo player to not piss around in these other difficulty levels so I can play Superhard mode.
Minigames are all there as well as a couple new ones. Love Love mode is also back and is pretty much the same thing however it gives you a lucky word and how many years you will be together with your partner. Playing this single player is possible however the computer always gets perfects and its hard to keep up.
Online play is now possible. There is also DLC. Haven't boughten any but it appears the packages are 500 points for 3 songs, in line with most other games.
Song wise, more of the playlist is devoted to latin music rather then the sega classics of the previous games. While this saddens me, most people playing the game for the first time wont miss the songs as most of the game doesn't provide any context as to where those songs are from.
I have noticed some cameos from other Sega titles, Sonic and Ulala in particular. Not sure if NiGHTS makes an appearance or not.
Anyways, I like the game. :) Thank you Sega for not fucking it up. |

If there is one thing that makes me sick, its reading all of these fucking entries about how god damn happy you are. Will you ever shut the fuck up? This place is all about bitching about how miserable you are and how you hate your life. Please return to your regular scheduled programming because seriously, hearing about how you are happy pisses me off. :P
Quite frankly i feel like i've lost all desire to socialize. I'm angry. My last attempt at subverting this feeling only made me feel way worse. I just want to be alone pretty much all the time.
I also have no desire to work. Who would have guessed that?
Anyways I am full of hate and i'm out of tears. Go fuck yourself. |
