Something For The Weekend

Well the weekend is now over, but in a much more realistic way, it actually isn't! That's right, tomorrow we have Victoria's Day off. But since I have it off anyway, it doesn't help me much. Don't you hate having holidays when you have the day off anyway? And don't you hate when your birthday falls on a weekend, and your phone would have been free that day anyway? I do. (my cell provider offers free calls on my birthday, and free evenings and weekends).

I find it amusing to see people who work for the weekend. They put in the daily grind for five days, and then just completely blow their money on booze or maybe lounge out in front of the television, counting down the seconds they have until they get back into their tedium. I couldn't do that. Which isn't to say I don't respect people that do, it's just that I couldn't go through that for my whole life, slowing being killed from the inside until one day I wake up and I'm 47 and I'm only a step above middle management and I have a Honda Accord and maybe a dog but no tangible achievements to speak of. Digression aside, I much prefer it when people that take a chance on their dreams. Maybe I'm getting older, and if I had a chart that had two lines, one that denoted my cynicism and the other my optimism, they would both be rising upwards and to the right. It is a delicate battle of two contrasting sets of ideals, but I'm trying my best. Sooner or later that third line of realism catches up with you, and that's the worst line of them all. No, I'm not drunk right now, not even a little. But to the four people that actually read this blog, kudos goes to you. Not every one of them can be a winner.

Gary's Fantastic Blog Top 5 HATE List TV Edition

5. "Trailer Park Boys" - This season has just been garbage, and it's not even a whole season! Here's a tip, don't let 15 people write the damn show!

4. "CSI" - They said they would never end up together! And then you see them in the bedroom together, and she is wearing a nightgown! For shame.

3. "Simpsons" - Their season finale's used to be good. Remember "Who Shot Mr Burns?" Classic! Now it's just randomness!

2. "Lost" - I'll never watch you, you damn show! I am going to be the one to kill Locke - in season 4!

1. "Canada A.M." - Specifically your April 14th, 2006 show. You know who you had on as a musical guest. You know your crimes.
