Okay El Nino, you’re just screwing with me now!

I probably shouldn't write a blog at 3:00 a.m. This is what happens when I'm tired and grumpy:


Every year that I can remember having an El Nino weather effect, it was warm here in Canada. So what's the deal with this bitter cold fall/winter so far? Freezing my buttocks off is not how I envisioned this season. I expected at least a few days with warm, mind comfortable short sleeve weather.



And what do you have to say: Mr. Al-Gorebal Warming. What’s up with this lasting cold spell? I don’t mind choking on gas fumes if you can promise me a warm cozy winter. I believe in climate change, but it should be working in our favour. It’s supposed to be warmer now, isn’t it? I’m beginning to hallucinate that I’m stranded on a desert island in the middle of the St. Lawrence River, but in reality, I’m completely surrounded by huge banks of snow. How long do you expect us to hold out? And yes, I’m referring to all of us forgotten Canadians who have to suffer year after year, pretending to love the great outdoors in the winter, when really we hate it. Hate it I tell you! Can’t stand it much longer! I want answers! I want the truth! I can’t handle the truth!

Happy Two Thousand Ten or Tripple T or even better "T3"

Welcome to the future. We have arrived in a new year and decade. Have you thought whether the next ten years can be worse than the last ten? It's probably likely considering the poor state of the economy, and the negative ectoplasm that has existed ever since 2001. Maybe another Ghostbusters movie might bring us out of the doldrums and help turn things around.

I sure hope we can get rid of all the political ill will that exists, but somehow I also know that's impossible. Maybe someday people will wake up and realize that government can't solve social issues. They can make rules and pass laws and spend our money, and give us something to argue and complain about, but they can't really make life better for the average person. I suppose I wouldn't be saying that, if I had a good paying, cushy government job, would I? Probably not. But since I don't, I'm going to stick to my original comment that the government is full of mostly inept bumbling boobs. I said mostly bumbling boobs, as the law of averages states that there must be at least one intelligent being who knows how to run a country. However, I can't afford to chance making a wager on it.
