I need to use my "guy"!

No photos this time as I am computer challenged. At the start of the week my computer went down and I had someone "new" fix it for me. What a mifuckinstake that was!!!!!!
I have a guy in the city who cleans my box of all the porny type of problems that I might have and he has done other work for me always and I mean he always comes through for me.
About two years ago I brought him my GF's box er computer and he could have soaked me because it was shutting down and I figured it was an overheating problem, which it was, but he shorted out the mother board when he took out the cooling fan. He could have said "hey man your fan was bad and it screwed your mother board" but no he fessed up and charged me for the fan and at a cut rate to boot.
I decided this time to try a "local yocal" and I have had nothing but problems since. I am sure the guy can install windows or something simple,,,,WAIT this was super simple, I couldn't get on the net and otherwise the computer worked fine. When he got it to his "shop" aka his basement, he said that windows wouldn't boot up! Funny it was working fine for me but I would get a message that explorer couldn't be accessed. I am pissed and have another computer besides this one that needs to be refurbished. Guess where I am taking it! Right, back to my guy.
Why do I do this, I find someone who does good honest work and then for the sake of 40 mins of travel I use some lame ass local dud (no I spelt it right). This has happened with my vehicles, my guitar, now my puter. I am finished with trying to support lame asses who can't make it in the big shitty. From now on, even if means waiting or travel, I need to use my "guy".

    That post was a flame as I was pissed off. I am sure the fellow who did the computer was fine and I am sure he could do as good as anyone else.
    OK I am trying to trade off my bad karma but it was wrong to flame out on the guy. I should tell him I am not happy and see what comes of it.

On the road in India

Oh I have been watching nothing on the news lately. Not watching cable means I tend to become news deficient meaning that I don't cruise The Huffington Post as much as I used to because even my time on the internet has been parred down. But Today I caught the evening news and saw a report on the reaction to Prime minister Harper and his entourage having armoured vehicles shipped to India to use while in that country. How were they shipped? By C17 Transport. The cost is said to be $37,000 an hour to run one of these babies. I think it's probably cheaper to ship the three vehicles by sea but would take a much longer time and the crew and maintenance etc for the C17 would still be a cost but at least the PM wouldn't be using the resources of the Canadian public coffers. It is appalling to watch opposition parties run to the scrum and try to devour a frivolous point all of them squawking like Fort Mac Ravens over a Big Mac package lying on the roadside. Sure there is

Every Good Boy Deserves Fudge

So I have safely arived in Ft Mac with few mishaps except navigating Edmonton which didn't go well because of the amount of road construction enroute. Beside that and a crappy burger for lunch things went smooth on the drive and I pulled into the parking lot right on time. Still a few things are not in place the major one being my financing. It seems that I owe the Government a chunk of cash and they are going to extract it from my student loan. This fact I missed when debating the viability of this venture. I had concluded that I would have to get a P/T job but my loan was going to take care of my school expenses. I have a shortfall of exactly $2129.58! YIKES! To add to the mix we have my Daughter doing her vows on the 18th of this month, I wonder if it can be afforded. I planned on getting new tires after I was sure of my money situation and at this time it looks as though I won't be there or won't be here. If I can't pay all of my rent then I will have to pack it in

This was posted a while back and on my stats page it is always the most read.  This is becoming an exercise in learning what my stats counter is counting. Anyway I haven't read this post in some time and found it OK. Again an apology to those who have read it. I do want to see if the stat counter increases the page views of this post. Cheers Gord I feel very bad. I have not been posting and it weighs heavy in my heart. This is not because I am in the throes of LOVE or because I have a high profile job that takes up all of my time. No, this is the result of CABLE TV The hundreds of channels that I have at my disposal has become a millstone around my neck This brings me to a topic which I have tried to put down in print before but have found it too large a topic for this blogger. It is really two things which are related. One is the constant confusion in choice. By our western standards "choice" is at the top of our list of things that
