almost caught up

Posted on by admin

Man, I have been busting my ass to get caught up to where I need to be to ensure all the things I need and want to do in life get done, after a vacation that was pretty hectic, and didn’t leave a lot of time for anything, let alone extras.

I don’t regret it, but the work it takes to get caught up; I’m starting to think for whatever I can, I might need to intensify the workout, so to speak, before the vacation, instead of playing catch-up afterward. Some stuff will be unavoidable, but if the major stuff is complete, the stuff that can be done ahead of time?

Well, maybe then it’s not all bad, yeah?

All I have to say is thank goodness for Anthony Stolarz, because while they’ve looked good at times, particularly in that first game, they have not been the better team.

It doesn’t bode well for the second round, when they won’t be facing a perennial playoff choker in Linus Ullmark. Whether it’s Florida or Tampa, it doesn’t matter. Both their goalies can take the pressure. Ullmark clearly can’t.

Man, he looks creepy in his ads for Pierre Poilievre.

Also, sounds like he’s endorsing the Fuhrer, in addition to looking like a guy that I would never leave near my children, because he might try to eat them to absorb their youth.

Plus, what’s this shit about Poilievre and a plan?

Dude has no plan, just a bunch of slogans he repeats, over and over again. Literally, his entire plan is “I’m against it.”

That’s not a plan; that’s the working paradigm of an internet troll.

So, you know, it fits.

Don’t vote Poilievre. Man’s garbage.

easter monday

Posted on by admin

Jesus is hungover. Or rather, he’s been on a bender all night watching pornography and eating Cheetos, and now, he’s wondering if he can turn those powers of water into wine into returning his foreskin to its original colour.

But, hey, it’s a day off, right?

(For the record, I’m not Jesus, and Cheetos are terrible lube.)

he is risen!

Or maybe, he’s just figured out how to google Sydney Sweeney, and now he’s down a rabbit hole of AI-generated porn and short clips from Euphoria and The Voyeurs.

Anyway, I cooked two turkeys yesterday and a ham today, so I have not risen. I have fallen onto the couch to watch my beloved Maple Leafs destroy their hated rivals, the evil Sens. Any euphoria I have will come from that, and any voyeuring I do will be with my beautiful wife, who also has a spectacular bod.

Anyway, happy Easter, be nice to each other. I think that was Jesus’ whole deal, once you strip away the religious bullshit.

Too bad Christians haven’t quite figured that out.

jesus is dead

And so is Buddha, Mohammed, Krishna and Joseph Smith.

The myth of the resurrection of Jesus is hardly proof of his divinity or his status as the son of God. You know how many other people were raised from the dead in the Bible?

Sounds to me like they needed better coroners.

Better doctors, at least.

long weekend

Posted on by admin

I fully intend to follow this up with a post on Monday or Tuesday called Long Ass Weekend, but for now, know, going into Easter, that I was run ragged for weeks before our vacation, and as fun as travel is, it was also insanely busy, and then we got back and I have a thousand things to catch up on, so hosting Easter is kind of bullshit.

Fuck Jesus, and the bunny he rode in on.

Is it still hump day when you’re only working a four-day week? Or is just the second half?

Thoughts for a day.
