So I head down to the MTCC and Rogers Centre to check out the auto show this year. My buddy got a free pass so we split the cost of one ticket. Well it wasn't much different than the other auto shows I have seen previously. There was a really cool display of some very old Lamborghinis which was very cool to look at. They even had the off road Lamborghini that, in my opinion, was the inspiration for the Hummer. I am always disappointed by the lack of booth girls. There never seems to be enough of them.
So yeah not enough booth girls not enough concept cars and too much of the same old same old...
I did see one interesting thing though. In the Audi display they were letting people sit in the R8 which runs about 170,000.00, I found this interesting as most companies lock up their cars as soon as they breach the 60,000 mark. Sure there are a few that don't but they don't let you touch the expensive cars like the R8. One thing that struck me though was the number of people that would have gone through that car. The bending that would occur to get in and out of it added to the bad food that the Auto show sells I am sure there were quite a few human made wind storms in that little car. I wonder if they have to get the detail shop to clean that stink of ass out of the car after the end of the show...

the great white north...
Well I haven't updated in quite a while... and for good reason too. Some one kicked the extension cord out that was powering my igloo (hence my laptop as well) and I couldn't plug it back in because it hasn't stopped fucking snowing for the past two weeks. Seriously it has been a wicked month for snow fall and my back is feeling every bit of it. There has been two snow days for my wife (she's a teacher) and zero for me. It so sucks working for yourself...
Anyway what pisses me off this week...
Oh I know, I was dropping my oldest off at school and he wanted me to walk him in which I do from time to time when he asks. I normally drop him off in the kiss and ride lane then boogie off to work. So anyway I have to park on the street and since it has been snowing so heavily the last few days the roads are a bit narrower than usual. Well this little bastard shoots past my car and while trying to squeeze between the next parked car and on coming traffic knocks the parked cars driver side mirror off. He doesn't stop and I know he knew he did it because as soon as it happened he took off like some one lit his nutsack on fire. Unfortunately I didn't get his license plate, I certainly would have notified the owner of the car about that. I just hate people like that, they go wreck other peoples stuff then fuck off and don't take responsibility for it. Same thing happened to me not too long ago, luckily I had a good neighbour let me know what happened so I got it looked after.
Another thing that pisses me off is getting sick... I have avoided having any type of cold for just about all of winter until Saturday just past. BAM like a ton of bricks fuck me... It wasn't just me either it was my wife too so we had both kids and both of us being sick all weekend and it was a long weekend to boot, Ontario now has Family Day woo hoo another holiday that small businesses have to pay for... I mean I like holidays and all that but as a business owner I think days like that suck because basically the government is forcing you to either pay your employees a premium to work that day or you have to pay them for nothing. It just pisses me off.
So yeah that's me for today, I'm not pissed off or anything just need to get the stupid shit out of my head...
Cheers

Wanna see the dark side of my moon?
OK I was out with the fam damily over the weekend. My kids do gymnastics and what have you, and we needed to pick up a few things here and there so we zip into a department store and I find these little gems.
See stuff like this just makes me laugh. I mean what woman can't help but swoon at the sight of these bad boys. Not only do they look ridiculous but check out where the trouser snake's doorway is? Well when I looked at the people that were wandering about in that store it did not surprise me one bit that something like those boxers were alive and kicking in there. When we drove in to our parking spot it was being invaded by a woman and what can only be described as Andrew Dice Clay's retarded brother. I mean it was winter and this tool was wearing a thin leather jacket and a wife beater with some goofy assed shades. Just utterly ponderous as to what would make someone dress like that and think, "yeah this is good, yeah I look good." Then on the way out I caught another fellow who looked like a reject from "That 70's Show" This poor fellow was cruising about in his high top basketball shoes, a mullet that would make Bruce Dickenson proud amongst other fashion faux pas.
So anyway on to my Sunday... Sunday was a lazy day for us as a family. The wife cooked a great breakfast and we all kind of just did our own thing. The boys played I surfed the internet and wife watched TV. Noon rolled around and a sumptuous feast of newfie tube steak was had (I opted for normal buns and the rest had crescent rolls wrapped around the little nitrate sticks. After that I opted to pretend to read while I took a nap on the couch. Then once the youngest had awoke from his nap (the oldest and youngest nap in our house) we took off to the sled hills of Brampton to have some winter fun. We trodded out to the sled hills to meet some friends and began the repetitious act of sliding down the hills and walking up them again. Funny thing though... it's amazing how high a 2.5 year old can shoot up in the air when you hid a bump at the bottom of the hill. My littlest guy must have been ejected from the sleds at least three or four times. The tough little bugger still would head down the hill time after time. although he did want to avoid going down for a little bit after one particularly spectacular crash. I forgot my camera, I am kicking myself for it as some of these spills would have been great to capture in either video or in a still... next time. I am sure there will be a next time as the snow looks like it could be staying until next weekend.
