Umm how does this work

Just a quick post, and try to follow me on this one...

There's this company called Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment (MLSE) who are better known as the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Raptors, or as the bully in the sandbox. They have managed to steal 70 million dollars from Ontario tax payers and have been applauded for it

Now let me mention the fact that MLSE is owned by the teachers fucking pension fund. Which means anything for a buck, because teachers work soooooo hard 9/12 months. Anyways my hatred of teachers, specifically teachers who complain about their jobs will be reserved for another blog.

Ok so here's what they did. and I will reflect the cash flow of this to explain how they robbed me

May 11 2006 - MLSE announces that Toronto will get a soccer team (Toronto FC.. or just FC). Fucking idiots in Toronto celebrate the fact that we now have a shit team in what is a fucking awful league, like the 10th best professional soccer league, behind the Polish elite league, the Turkish premier league. Like the MLS is terrible terrible soccer but hey we are Toronto we pretend to be European and you can't be European without a fucking soccer team, even if the team is filled with scrubs who couldn't be backups in Europe.

MLSE starts skeeming... They wanted the stadium, and keep their cash... They thought of a plan... and they thought of it fast...










2006-2007 - The soccer stadium is constructed. And get this. MLSE, with all their millions billions of dollars bitches and whines to get the Province to build them a fucking stadium. So politics and politics later the $72m stadium is built and here is how the cash flow works

MLSE - 8m
MLSE - 10m sponsorship. But they will make that back PLUS in 5 years EASY...
Feds - 27m
Ontario - 8m
Toronto - 10m
Feds - Land 9m

So I subsidized a bullion dollar company, and they put in 8m. I'm not including buying sponsorship because they will make that back.

So because of the fact that the government funded the stadium, to make the idiots in Toronto feel like we didn't just give 60m to rich people, the government mandated that the stadium be "public" so they can have kids tournaments all year round and shit. So they put in artificial field turf, as regular grass wares out too quickly

2009 - So here's where MLSE really just robbed us of our money. So MLSE (through FC) complains that artificial turf is bad mmkay and bullshit bullshit bullshit they don't want field turf they want grass.

This means that, because grass wares out too easily, they will be the ONLY PEOPLE to use the stadium that we built for them.

So what they suggest is that they will build a small field for the public (most it will cost is 3-5m) so kids and shit can play tournaments, but they won't build a second 70m field.

and of course, because elected officials are fucking stupid they say "Sure no problem boss"

and of course because Torontians are fucking retarded they say "deeerrrrrr gooo Toronto FC, take our money take it take it take it!!"

So to recap on how MLSE stole my money... they had us build a stadium for them, then kick us out, build us a cheaper stadium and live in their expensive stadium. So we could have spend 5m and built a cheap stadium for ourselves and be in the same fucking position

MLSE will pay about $15m and get a 70m stadium, right in front of us, claiming to benefit us, and we believe them...

Fuck we're stupid... so unbelievably stupid...

Wow I'm already bored of this

One Love...

What you rappin about little boy

Soooo tired. I honestly don't know why. You know when you have a dream that wakes you up in the middle of the night and fucks with you. Then you go back to sleep and wake up in the morning, remember that you were fucked with, but don't remember why?

That's my dream

I had a dream like 4 nights ago... My ex gf told me she loved me. Wow, doesn't take a shrink to figure out that interpretation

Anyways, I'm a pretend music guy. I have about 1,400 songs of different genres, mostly full albums and were talking 90's and later.

Top 5 albums I have

5. Tribe called quest: Midnight Marauders - This was one of the first progressive hip-hop groups I had ever heard. Hypnotic beats, cut and insightful lyrics, the album has possibly the greatest flow of any hip-hop album ever. Every song just flows beautifully into the next. Each song either relays a message, or tells a story. You can close your eyes, listen to the album and relax your ass away

4. Gorillaz: Demon Days - "I saw that day... Lost my mind... Lord I find... Maybe in time, you'll waaaaaant to be mine" Yes I know that makes no sense, but I LOVE this album. That album got me through 2 months of working 8:30am - 2am, and feeling like absolute shit. Whole album is one giant drug trip. Every song is ultimately about drugs, pain, which in and of itself is their idea of the root of drug addiction. There are also tons of subtle hints of the Iraq war, which they did BEFORE anybody else protested the war in song.

3. Lupe Fiasco: The Cool - Fuck I really want to put The Game's album in this slot, because I got them at the same time. But ultimately this album is just too fucking good. The flow is incredible, the beats are great, the lyrics are well done positive but political and hopelessly truthful. Its so difficult to explain you just have to listen to the album

2. Nas: Illmatic - In my opinion the greatest rap album ever produced, and nobody knows about it. It's Nas' coming out party in the 90s. A very very short album only about 10 songs, the longest being under 5 mins. There's no real message in the album, its just a collection of stories that flow together. But the stories are so well done, and paint such a detailed picture, you can close your eyes and picture what he's talking about.

1. Kanye West: Late Registration - I was tempted to pick his Graduation album but that's probably because I've listened to it more lately. Late registration just goes through so many emotions seamlessly. It goes from immaturity and almost an effortlessness and ease about life, to tragedy of diamonds from sierra Leone, to saying thank you to his mother. Just so well done so many messages so many different thinking points to interpret and ponder. Ok I admit he does kinda steal from 80's beats and daft punk but his message makes up for his thievery

Honorable mention

A perfect Circle: Thirteenth Step - Whole album is about 12 steps of rehab + rock bottom

The Game: The documentary - Dudes cocky but he backs it up. Like Dre in his hayday..

Eminem: The Slim Shady LP - Fucking hilarious!! Ok ok he talks about gays, rape and vicodin but its just so fucking funny

Daft Punk: ALive - Try to listen to this album without dancing... Try it...

Outkast- Fuck I forgot about Outkast that should havebeen in the top 5.. Ok superhonerable mention to Outkast... everybody LISTEN TO ATLIENS!!!

Words of wisdom from Nas try to rise up above
Keep an eye out for Jake shorty what
One Love...

Weekend Update (2)

Wow, I am absolutely exhausted...What a crazy weekend. I don't want my blogs to be all about what I do on weekends, but its the only time I can talk about something interesting. I mean any blogs not updating my life are just rants really...

Friday

Friday was a horribly boring day at work. I should have just skipped the day and hung out at home. After work, I ended up at Boston Pizza to meet with friends for beer, and to watch game 7 of the Stanley Cup finals. Detroit vs Pittsburgh. The wings lost and I got absolutely ripped on by my friends. Fucking sore winners can't you just shut up and let it go? We also talked about going to a College football game, maybe Ohio State vs USC (turns out that tickets costs $350 each, FUCK!).

Anyways we go out to a patio bar for the night after. I start getting wasted and get into the confident/ borderline cocky stage that (I used to call him Damien... Yes its borderline schizophrenic fuck off). I end up meeting this girl named Michelle and her friend, Cindy or some shit. We end up getting into a really good conversation. And in total Damien fashion she says she has a bf, but slips me her number anyways! I also talked to her friend and I don't think I was acting needy but she tells me about how good looking I am, and I'm great to talk to and how I'm going be great and find a great girl and be chill in my life

So after that craziness I get a ride home... and I'm wasted... I try to use the number code to open my garage. It doesn't work and I get furiously mad and start punching it and trying to rip it out of its place. Well all that anger and motion made me very very sick... and I couldn't get in the house... so there I was 2:30 am puking on my lawn in darkness, laying there for like 15 minutes, too sick to move.. God I'm awesome... my dad has to let me in laughing his ass off at me... Awesome Friday

Saturday

Hung over as hell, slept through most of the day. I ended up sleeping off most of the day feeling like ass. When I felt better I went for a jog, and felt sick again. I ended up sobering up for dinner, and I went out for Indian food with the family on Saturday. Chilled hung over (saw Nids but whatever)

Sunday

Forced to get up for church.. NOT in a good mood, then my mom just did it... After church we saw one my moms stupid church friends and we had one of the worst conversations ever

Mom: You know Daniel, my friends daughter is very pretty, I think she would compliment you very well, you should meet her

Me: Are trying to set me up on a date?

Mom: Maybe...

Me: Does she like clean and mop and stuff?

Mom: ummm Probably why?

Me: Because I'll need her to mop up the blood after I shoot myself in the face because my mother sets me up on a date with her church groups friends daughter! Like are you serious? Am I so pathetic to you that YOU need to set me up on blind dates?!?! Like really?!?! I don't need your help, I honestly honestly don't trust me on this

Mom: But she would be good for you...

Me: Because she can mop up blood?

Mom: Fiiine forget it

Anyways that was awkward... and yes I made 2 suicide references to my mom, but that's just my attitude and my humor...

I ended up going to Wonderland for the day with 2 friends. We helped this lady boost her car, which was hilarious.

We rode tons of rides (top gun, indiana jones, behemoth, some italian job shit, minebuster) went to the water park (oh my god the bikinis! Fuck time to jog EVERYDAY and get into damn shape), checked out girls, ate funnel cakes, and bounced...


Anyways, weekend full of inner thoughts, varying emotions and a shit load of fun...

But I still can't believe my mother tried to do that... I'm going to rip on her for a looong time for that one

One Love - Time to find a new one...

What to say...what to say

I honestly have no clue what to talk about already, and its been like 2 posts in. Oh well, hmm maybe I'll talk about what I wanna do in my future. Because I have no clue what I actually want to do. I guess I should just lay out my dreams and the issues with them

- Work in Automotive industry This dream was one of my first when I decided I wanted to be an accountant. This dream was pretty damn naive. I thought I would just be an accountant/ controller operations guru because I "know' about accounting and I "know" so much about cars. My thought was I would do the accounting, as well as decision making in accounting policy and financial reporting (*SNORE*). I would also make decisions on which cars to produce, and parts costing accounting and negotiation

Why it won't work There's no job in which you do journal entries, then make decisions on what parts to buy and how to cost cars. Its just not a position that exists. Also, as the world knows the automotive industry is absolute shit right now, and in North America they are not hiring new people, and nobody is sure they ever will again. I would peg this at 5%

-Move to NYC work in Manhattan This was a stupid fucking dream I had with someone where I was working, and she was in med school or some dumb shit and we would be together. Fuck, you thought the first dream was naive, this one was straight out of a Disney movie

Why it won't work Hmmm let me count the ways. 1) Her and I don't speak anymore 2) She was never going to school in NYC 3) I can't get a transfer to NYC 4) Love is a Disney movie, it doesn't exist its a huge load of bullshit. Just find someone who doesn't make you want to jump off a skyscraper every day and stick to her (no thats not emo its just love gets replaced by complaicency after 30 years of telling the same boring ass stories over and over again). But on the optimist side my NYC dream was always about me, and never about her. I found a position at my company in NYC and am looking into it. I would still put it at a 15% chance of happening

Work in Aviation industry This dream came out of my family as I had 2 uncles who worked as mechanics for various airlines, and I thought it would be fitting to be a corporate accountant at a big airline, a sort of moving up for my family. Also, as you can tell I'm just a big kid with tonka trucks and planes, trains and automobiles always fascinate me. I thought I could also do cost projection analysis on fuel, travelling, leases all that jazz

Why it won't work Just because I had 2 relatives who fixed planes doesn't mean I should make it my career. Also the aviation industry is almost always down and doesn't usually look to hire people very often. lastly, I would probably have to work in Canada and Air Canada means I have to know french, Westjet is out in Alberta and I would shoot myself if I worked for Porter Airlines. Thats at a 2% chance

Stay in Toronto work anywhere This was the last thing I thought I would be doing because I had such grand plans. But if all else fails; and all else is failing, this is my option

Why it won't work I'm a nomad. I don't want to spend the rest of my life in Toronto at the age of 23. but its probably a 50% chance I will. *tear*

Move somewhere.. ANYWHERE cool and work there This is probably what's going to happen. I will get offered something somewhere for a year or 2, I'll go do that then come home and either do 1 more or live in Toronto forever. thats at a solid 35%

My weekend... Chillin

I still got a few post topics in queue; just some things I want to get off my chest. but for now I will just update my weekend. I still haven't decided if this is permanent yet. I might easily just forget to update for another 7 months

Anyways...

Wed/Thurs

So I get back to the boardroom I'm working at, any my team member and good friend tells me she's being fired tomorrow. Wow what a way to end a week. I felt so bad for her and I feel its not her fault, but business is a cruel world and you are going to have casualties. That's just insensitive... I haven't talked to her since but I really felt for her

Friday

My manager was supossed to come and review my work but it didn't work out that way. Since I lost my only team member on this job I'm sitting in the big boardroom alone. What a way to end a week...

Also my buddy e-mails me telling me he's going to a birthday party for a co-worker, and doesn't invite me. I don't really mind because its his company and his friends so I wouldn't expect an invite.. but something seems strange

Friday night I end up having a "date" with my friend Allee. She's super awesome and with her I can let my dork flag fly. We talk about games (she has the Sims and is addicted, for which I don't blame her) she lets me hate on Mac's (I hate macs sooo much, but thats another blog for another day) we talk about TV shows and hating on hippies and how people who work for the government are useless. It was a good night to rant and rave, I definitely enjoyed it. If only I had gotten drunk...


Saturday

Saturday morning was pretty dorky. I got up and printed out the answers to the exam I wrote 8 months ago. Yes the answers to that exam only came out like 2 days ago. I PASSED!! by the way. Anyways, I went to the website and got the answers, grabbed some McDonalds breakfast and went through the exam. Yes I'm a tool.. A HUGE tool.

After that My buddy called me up and we went golfing for most of the afternoon. Beautiful day to golf, I got to work on alot of my game and I feel I'm improving. My friend has a membership to a very exclusive country club and the pampering they do you to you just blows my mind. Such as:

- Leave your golf shoes (or whatever shoes you want) by your locker and they will clean them for you
- Give them your clubs after a round and they wash and scrape all the gunk off for you
- Open sauna, shower, and hygiene stuff for after the round because you've probably built up a HUGE sweat golfing
- Free drop off and pick up of your golf clubs, because walking in with your clubs from the parking lot is just unthinkable

Anyways after that we went to a friends house for a little party/ watching the hockey game, eating pizza with people. pretty social, and lots of fun. Ended up getting a lift back home

Sunday
- MSN
- Golf
- Fight night round 4

That is all

I'm rambling again, and this is getting long. Not sure what I will talk about next. performance reviews are Tuesday, we'll see if I still have a job by the next time I post

One Love...

So... like 7 months later

Ok so I totally forgot about this blog thing and I kinda went like 7 months without updating it. I got a tip (from someone who is fast emerging as a really good friend) that I should update my blog. She says its very therapeutic, but only time will tell

So whats happened to me?

Well, I went to Calgary in October and had an absolutely amazing time. Absolute time of my life while I was in the city. Unfortunately, I had issues back home. Someone I cared about decided to pull together a string of lies plus a whole load of bullshit and left me feeling just miserable for 2 months of my stay in Calgary. It sucks because when I just didn't think about her I was so happy; and I should have stopped thinking of her altogether and enjoyed my time there, but whatever lesson learned

What also really really didn't help was that they sent me to Fort McMurray. I swear as God is my witness that is the biggest fucking piece of shit of a town I have ever seen. I've never seen a more expensive landfill site with a bigger population of fucktards in my entire life. I will blog a whole post one day on how fort mac is the worst town in existence

Anyways my ex is there. and all those emotions came back, but with the realization that things had changed so much that whatever we felt for each other was meaningless, which hurt... ALOT...

Ok ok enough negativity...

Reasons why Calgary was awesome
- I learned to snowboard, and I got pretty good. Like black diamond good. I loved getting up at 8am on saturday with my best buddy. We were hung over driving out to the mountains, and boarding from 10-4 ripping around, cracking jokes, eating snow falling on our asses. End of day hop back in the car and drive home tired as hell, grab a couple beers, watch Scrubs and pass out...

- The women there are beautiful, fun loving and absolutely chill. Some nights at the bars dancing with some of the most beautiful women, just feeling lucky that a girl this gorgeous is dancing with me

- I made an absolute chill friend out there. Her name is Ginny and unfortunately I met her very late in my Calgary stay. She was absolute sunshine, just bubbling with smiles, and positivity. Any time I saw her I was just happy to be with her. I would wake up extra early to grab coffee with her before work because it would just make my day soo much better. I wish I could find a friend like that here, it would make my life

- Work was very interesting, required hard work but had great payoff

- City living is amazing

Ok ok this has gotten a little long for a first post... I will update on what I have been up to since Calgary next time

I guess

One Love
