Operation Go Home

Finally. The big day , or a big day.

Aug 30th. I'm allowed a light breakfast , and then clear fluids for the rest of the day
until midnight, because after midnight I have to fast , and then they operate on me
tommorow.

Heck with it. Don't eat anything , drink lots of water and apple juice. Check my pills,
the anti-biotics have run out. Phone the doctor, forget it ! I'm going in tomorow, he'll
worry about it then I can live for one day without anti biotics.

Drink my laxitive solution (which tasts terrible despite the lemon symbol on the front)
go to the bathroom a lot, go to bed early.

My freind shows up around 8pm , we go cruising. I'm allowed clear fluids right ? Jello
counts according to all the nurses. So we hit a grociery store in our travels and I
buy up some jello.

Go home. Man, that jello tastes good. Too good. Normaly I hate jello. Start hunting
all over the lable. IN really tiny print it says "Jello pudding" . PUdding. It isn't jello
at all.

AHHHH... I just blew my diet ! I'm gonna get in trouble !

Aug 31
I drink half a glass of water, get dressed, my sister escorts me down to the
hospital . Smoke a cigarette (she does , I'm a non smoker) and we go in. They have
to "prepare me" , which seems to involve stripping me naked , making me put on a
hospital gown , and a cruel and vicious nurse sticking an unusually painful IV in
my arm. I mean really , normally I only whimper when they do it, but I had to actually
yell on this one. I guess I drew one of the incompetant ones.

11am , I'm lying in bed. Looking at the clock. Surgury is at 1am. Sister comes in. we
chat for a bit. Then the nurse comes in , wants me to put on some special stockings
that help prevent blood clots after surgery (among other things). We make jokes about
me staring in the rocky horror picture show, getting a felt marker and drawing
fish netting on the stalkings. It kills a few hours. She goes out for lunch, I catch some
zz's in a fairly uncomfortable hospital bed.

2pm rolls around. The previous patient is taking longer than expected. But thats ok.
3pm Me and my sister chat computers and look at the clock a lot.
4pm Doctor shows up . Surgury is cancelled, we'll reschedule in a couple of weeks,
call in the morning.
AHHHHHH.... I've been starving for 2 days now and thats all you can tell me ???

Get dressed. Go home. PIG OUT !
Phone work. Guess I'm going in tommorow after all.
remind me to get a doctors note for this.

I don't feel so bad about the jello chocolate pudding any more. In fact, the moment I got home, it was the first thing I finished off.

Bye Bye TV

And I thought I was the only one who hated TV.

If you're a young Canadian between the ages of 18 and 34, you likely don't spend a lot of time in front of a television set. You're much more likely to be online, downloading music and movies, and playing games. You want choice. You want control.

In short, you're already scaring the pants off television producers and advertisers everywhere.

The internet is now the medium of choice for young Canadians. A recent Ipsos-Reid poll shows that Canadians aged 18 to 34 spend an average of 14.7 hours a week online and 11.7 hours listening to radio – a strong second-place finish for a medium once thought to be on the decline due to the internet's growing influence.

Television comes up third with 11.6 hours of average weekly viewing.


This is very interesting , as I sit here on my computer, listening to my mp3 player loaded up with downloaded music, bored because my favorite online game , World of Warcraft , is down right now and won't let me log in. (they always have problems... too many players I think. )

There is a TV in the living room, and because my internet is through the cable tv lines, I get some basic TV on it that I'm not paying for. But it's crap, and I wouldn't pay for it anyways. And , as you probably guessed by now, I'd rather be blogging and surfing the internet than watching the Boob Toob as I like to call it.

Behind me lies a selection of over 100 DVD's , favorite movies I've picked up over time , one here one there. I throw one into my computer every now and then and watch it when I'm really bored. The video place across the street offers trade in's, they'll buy you're old DVD's , but I don't do that. I want my collection to get larger , not smaller. I don't plan on dumping any of them. About once every two weeks I pick up another dvd to add to the collection. Maybe once a week in summer / fall when a spate of good ones come out.

My favorite TV show to quote (not to actually watch , I don't even know if it even runs anymore) is called This Hour Has 22 Minutes, the title being a comment on the fact that if you pull out a stop watch and time the TV for an hour, only 22 minutes of actual show will be there, and 38 minutes of commercials. Something that rings in my head every time I get dragged over to a friends place and they turn on the boob tube and a commercial pop's up.

There was a show called Highlander once, I rented a tape on it. Sucker ,it wasn't the movie, it was two tv episodes back to back. TV episodes. With the comercials removed. Ran 45 minutes for both episodes (according to the cover). Now if that doesn't turn you off TV (assuming you were searching for the TV version and not the original movie) nothing will.

Bye Bye Television.
I won't miss you.

CT Head Scan - Help Wanted

They're going to operate on me again in two days. Today I went in for a CT scan (Cat scan , whatever ). I should mention they're going to operate on my belly , and that they told me I would be drinking some kind of horrible stuff so I was to show up at 9:45am even though the scan wasn't until 11am.

Walk in , give my name. "So , how bad is it going to taste ? "
"Is what going to taste ? " asked the nurse.
"They said I'm supposed to drink this ugly stuff, thats why you want me in here early."
"Oh no. It's a head scan. You don't drink anything. "
?
"You're going to take pictures of my head ?"
"Yes. "
"But they're going to operate on my belly ? "
She looked at me.
I pull up my shirt and show her this ugly bandage on my belly with a tube running from it and everything. "I dont' think the doctor is going to be impressed with a few shots of my head when it comes time for him to cut open my belly. I think he wants shots of my belly , personally. "
Sighes, picks up the phone.

The new ... whatever it is , constrast liquid they make you drink so they can x ray you ? Tastes like water. But you wind up going the bathroom every twenty minutes for the rest of the day. Yah win some you lose some.

Got to watch hurricane Katrina coverage. Just one reporter repeating the same thing over and over. Down to catagory 4 storm, The Big Easy (New Orleans) about to get wiped. Foggy pictures of rain. Boring. Why did those people build a city 6 feet below sea level anyways ? I privately think New Orleans might not be there tommorow. We'll see.

Brother Love Hussein

Story

A letter from Saddam Hussein


"My soul and my existence is to be sacrificed for our precious Palestine and our beloved, patient and suffering Iraq," the letter said.


Tell me again about the 100 000 muslims you had executed because they were Shiite's and you were Sunni ? In effect, wrong kind of muslim kill them all...


"Life is meaningless without the considerations of faith, love and inherited history in our nation," the letter said.


Tell me again about how you invaded your neibours for oil because the kick back they were giving you wasn't big enough ? Desert Storm , Kuwaite , remember that ?


In addressing his correspondent, Saddam said: "My brother, love your people, love Palestine, love your nation, long live Palestine."


Unless they're the wrong kind of muslim. Or some other religion. Then kill them all.

Jordan rockets miss US Navy ship

Story

Three missiles have been fired from the Jordanian port of Aqaba, missing a US Navy ship but hitting Israel.

Two rockets missed the USS Ashland, an American naval ship docked in the port. A Jordanian soldier died when one of the two missiles hit the dockside.

The third missile landed near Eilat airport in neighbouring Israel, causing no injuries.

An internet statement, purportedly from a group which says it has links to al-Qaeda, said it was to blame.


I have to wonder. How did that internet statement read ?

Dear Infidel Dogs.
We the undersigned Terrorists did willingly and with premediatation fire off some rockkets at you. WE have to tell you about this on the internet because they kind of missed and didn't actually hit anything but our own people whom we are protecting, but you should be afraid of us anyways.

Get out , or we'll shoot more of our rockets at you. Maybe they might even hit you this time , instead of our own people.

Sincerely ,

Incompetant Terrorists Incoporated.

Softwood Lumber $ting

Story


Washington says its dispute with Ottawa over imports of Canadian softwood can only be settled by negotiation.

U.S. Ambassador David Wilkins said that, despite a North American Free Trade Agreement ruling this month that U.S. duties of 21 percent on imported Canadian softwood were illegal, his government would keep imposing the duties, worth about $100 million per month, the CBC reported Thursday.


Lemme see.

You negotiated to create NAFTA for a solid year , to solve this particular dispute (pardon me , I'm a canadian , I've been hearing about about the softwood lumber thing since I was a little kid and I'm over 40 now, so this has been going on for several decades)

You finally set up a council to solve it, it issues a decision...

I don't like the decision .. I'm not abiding by it.

*sigh*

Kiss Nafta goodbye. You just killed it.

You also killed any reputation America might have had of keeping it's promises. Why would anyone bother to negotiate with you over anything when in the end , if you don't like it , you just tear it all up and throw it away ?

Americans !

Who is Dave Homenuck ?
Dave Homenuck was the original webmaster who felt it was his civic duty to jeapordize the personal security of Karla Homolka upon her release in
2005. His vulgar website the Karla Homolka death pool, encouraged users to place bets on the date of her demise (but encouraged patrons not to kill her themselves as that would be cheating) and posted the email addresses of those who contacted him to protest the existance of such a website.

Upon learning of this site the Canadian Coalition Against The Death Penalty purchased the URL to prevent
Mr. Homenuck and others like him from continuing to endorse the murder of Karla Homolka upon her release.

actually, I kind of agree with this. Mob Rule has always been a bad thing, even in these cases. Some smuck posting a Lets Kill So and So site doesn't sit well with me , no matter what her crimes. Lets the cops deal with it.

Radical Muslim Cleric to Return to Britain

Ottawa Boy

Story


LONDON - A fundamentalist Muslim cleric facing possible treason charges said Tuesday that he left Britain over the weekend and was in Lebanon but planned to return within weeks unless the government says he is unwelcome.


You're facing treason charges. I think you can take it as gospel that you're unwelcome.


He told British Broadcasting Corp. radio he had left Britain on Saturday to avoid being used by the government to pressure British Muslims with new measures. Bakri, who has lived in Britain for 20 years, said he traveled to Lebanon and was staying with his mother.


Sheesh ! Just because a few people got killed by bombs and you praised them ! And now the british bobbies want you to say blowing people up is a bad thing and you don't want to play ball ? Shocking !


But he insisted he would not inform British police if he knew Muslims were planning an attack.

"Islam forbids me to report any Muslim ... to the British police," Bakri said. "My job (is) to stop him, to hold him with my Muslim brothers even if it costs me my life."


we know. Because all non muslims are second class citizens and your job is to make their life hard until they convert.

Or they decide to make your life hard and boot you out or throw you in prison for being a pain. One way or the other ...

20-year mission in Afghanistan

Ottawa Boy

News Article

"Every time you kill an angry young man overseas, you're creating 15 more who will come after you," he said.

We have to worry about ticking them off ? What about them ticking us off ? That rule applys to the 3000 americans who died in the world trade center you know. And judging by the number of terrorists that keep getting deported here in canada because they have ties, or they were taking photo's of Parliment hill for their friends in Afghanistan to plan an operation or something , we're a target too !

All of this blather about don't tick off the terrorists, but they're already doing what they can to hit us, You can't tick them off any more than they already are.

Kick them in the balls, and when they fall kick them a few more times until they're out of it. What is this soft pedal stuff ? They're killing innocent civilians. Kill them all.

That could be me hopping on a bus and getting caught by some suicide bomber next, and at that point my sympathy for their cause is zero.
