The Apprentice

Apprentice ended last night, Randall 'won'. Once he learned he had won he walked over to his opponent.... and metaphorically kicked her in the face and then spit on her. I always knew there was something not right with that Randall. I have to give him props for being such a good actor, he sure had everyone fooled with his nice guy act. What kind of a business person would not go for the win-win scenario!?!? A poor one IMHO. For those who may not have been watching The Apprentice. During the final face-off both finalists made some mistakes and both did some things well, they were neck and neck, Donald wanted to hire them both, he hired Randall first and then asked his opinion, letting him make the choice to hire Rebecca or not. I'd like to think that most people would have hired her, Randall instead shows his low character and tells Trump that he should be the only apprentice. Unbelievable. If I were Trump I would have reversed my decision on the spot, fired Randall and hired Rebecca. Randall, I hope you get fired.

Narnia

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe.
This movie was great. Highly recommended. Hoping there will be more.

Mexico

So I heard a horrible story today. This was in the paper this morning. Apparently a man from Edmonton went down to Mexico for his daughters wedding. He was scuba diving when he had a heart attack. The family waved down a taxi to get him to the hospital (I guess there is no 911 equivalent). The taxi driver, on seeing the man was in trouble, proceeded to extort the family, demanding 2000 Canadian dollars to drive the man to the hospital. They didn't have that much money, he agreed to take them the few blocks to the nearest fire station for only 200 Canadian dollars. With nothing else to do they agreed. When they arrived at the fire station the firemen there refused to perform any CPR or life saving measures claiming they don't assist tourists. Finally they got the firemen to take them to the nearest clinic, not an actual hospital. When they arrived the locals waiting there were apparently quite upset that this tourist was going to go in ahead of them, despite the fact that he was DYING. The man did not survive, he died at the clinic. When the doctor came out to tell the family apparently the locals who were waiting cheered at the news of the mans death. CHEERED! They were happy I guess because it shortened their wait for the doctor. CHEERED A MAN'S DEATH! I know it sounds like one of those internet stories that go around and isn't true it's so unconceivable that people would do that, but it was in the paper. I am disgusted, saddened, outraged. How do you deal with people who have that kind of callous unconcern for their fellow man? What kind of social and cultural circumstance foment that kind of outlook on life? Some days I think God should have finished the job with the flood. Obviously we aren't getting the message.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Happy Birthday Stephanie!

Winter

Winter. My mortal enemy. Oh how I hate winter. It is cold, dark, and dreary. You have to bundle up just to go to the corner store, your glasses fog up, my car never heats up until you get where you are going. My car also ices up on the inside... the inside! At the same time though winter can be beautiful but only when you are looking at it from inside a nice warm house. In the end though all I have to say to winter is, "Who invited you to the party?".

For my family: Here is what you can get me for Christmas.

Beth and Keith I guess this really only applies to you guys seeing as how the other three people who will be buying me gifts already know.

The Tick

"Destiny dressed you this morning my friend and now fear is trying to pull off your pants. If you give up, if you give in then your going to end up naked with fear just standing there laughing at your dangling unmentionables." - The Tick.

Why did The Tick not last? Why? It was so great. I blame you. Yes, you know who you are, you, the one who didn't watch, it's all your fault. Shame on you.
