Just another boring afternoon

Hello!


Well my oldest girl didn't get it right, she had the whole day of school today and on and not only half a day like she thought and my youngest has a whole day tomorrow. They will get Monday off but they thought they were going to get six days off, not happening girls...


Ah shoooot... I had forgotten that I had told you people that my blog was going to be at my domain name now, so I hadn't even set up the website yet. At this point I will be working on it during the first days of September and later on I will make the announcement on my blog, sorry about that.


While I have been working on my genealogy tree and those guys at the Later Day Saints do an awesome job at genealogy stuff except that certain areas are only for churchgoing members. If you're not a Mormon you cannot access the search options that could help people advance their family tree, apparently this issue is going to be resolved in a couple of months their tech support told me that they had over 740 million documents plus pictures to digitalize and save on their servers. They told me to call back in a couple months and see where they were at, I can't wait to access all those documents...


To take care people!

The call that probably will change my life

Hello!

Good day to you folks!

I have eaten my breakfast, I had my bath and now I am ready...

Oh yeah, I also had my dose of vitamin D by bathing in the sun near my patio door for 15 minutes. I'm a firm believer that you can get your vitamin D from the sun, apparently this is the vitamin that we folks with MS lack and therefore I like to spend 15 minutes absorbing whatever sunrays are out there.

Today was no different, I was bathing/napping in the sun when suddenly I was awoken by the telephone ring... WTF? Who dares disturb my slumber? Even Olivia was getting in the act of bathing in the sun and sleeping... So I picked up the phone and it's the guy who's going to be doing the plans so that I will be able to step outside on my own. He apologized for not having get back to me before but he was on vacation, he then told me that he was going to work on the plans and mail them to me so that I could show them to the landlords and I could get the green light; I'm pretty sure that if all goes well I should be able to go out of my own by next summer.

There's a lot of movement going on regarding the elevator being maintained, this morning the jackhammering started at 7:30 AM, now it has gone silent but there is a big truck that pulled up to the emergency exit and basically the workers are using it for the elevator maintenance purposes.


And that's the kind of day it's been so far: breakfast/bath/vitamin D/call from architect/blog.


Take care folks!

Alone at last

Hello!

Well it's official tomorrow I will be all alone in the house, everybody but me is going to be either working or going to school, so it will be Olivia and me at the house all alone.

This coming weekend will be a long one since we're celebrating labor day in North America, so the girls will be off on Monday and they will return full time to school on Tuesday. So no excuses about me no blogging, speech recognition will be at it's best.

Take care!

The shock of a lifetime

Hello!


The jackhammering has stopped and the only noise in my room is the A/C.

So I was studying a picture of my grandmother and grandfather getting married and I was wrong, is not dated 1-9-1927 but March 1927. Well my grandmother got married while being pregnant with my oldest aunt, a shotgun wedding! Wow, kudos to my grandfather who kept his word and married her. Sadly he passed away 16 years later at the tender age of 38 years, high blood pressure killed him and I inherited that disease, yeah they detected that on me when I was 13 years old.

So the CMR just called me and gave me an appointment date so that I can go and have my leg measure for the brace they are going to put on me, I tell you I'm looking more like Ironman every day....!!!!!!!.....

Hold the the breaks folks! While posting I was still doing maths in my head and my grandfather was only 22 when he got married, my grandmother was 27 and was going to be 28 in December!! She robbed the cradle!!! Holy frijoles, I never saw it that way! Then you have my great-grandfather who has an affair with someone that sells meat in the market and he has a kid with that person, this kid is the grandmother of my cousin who is very close to me now... It doesn't freaking stop there! My uncle, my mother's brother, gets married with the daughter of my great-grandfather and this lady!!! I think it's called inbreeding, I was doing calculations in my genealogy program and my uncle married his half cousin. I'm all fucked up here, I got a grandmother who robbed the cradle, a grandfather that died young, are great-grandfather who slept around, an uncle who married his half cousin and I'm not sure but I think my brothers are gay! Thank God for adoption people... Now I gotta find my real folks!


Take care, I hope your dreams are not ruined like mine...

The past talks to me

Hello!


Well the jackhammering still going on, but it seems that speech recognition still working okay.


I forgot to mention on my morning post that my girls are starting school! Yeah, my small one went to school today for half a day she is going to bring her stuff back and talk to her teachers as well as her friends. And tomorrow, tomorrow everybody goes back to school, my oldest one included!

OMG people! I was working on my genealogy tree this morning when I noticed that in the picture of my grandmother's wedding, she put a dedication to her brother (because the picture was meant for her brother) and on that note she writes a date: 1-9-1927. I know, so what about it right? Well doing the math of the births of my uncles and aunts it would appear that my oldest aunt was born out of wedlock! Holy shit! My grandmother defied the morals of those days and seeked carnal pleasures before getting married! Jesus Christ, this explains a lot! You see, years ago my mother was given the wedding band from my grandmother. Apparently my oldest aunt didn't want it because she was born out of wedlock, but there was never any proof, until now! Then again I could be wrong and that is the date on which my grandmother wrote the note and she was basically married in April 1926 like my mother says. Genealogy sucks people! Well at least I know I have a picture of my grandmother and my grandfather dated 1-9-1927, whether they took the picture on that date or she wrote the note on that they I'll never know and the people who could clarify things are no longer there or they are pretty old and I have no contact with them...


Well back to digging!

Take care folks...

The elevator from hell

Hello!


Good morning North America/good afternoon Europe/good evening Asia!


Well I have gotten my bath and breakfasts is done so now I have time to blog.

I thought I wasn't going to be able to blog or that I would be blogging from my iPod because they are doing maintenance on the elevator, the elevator just happened to be right beside my freaking room! They were jackhammering at 8:30 in the morning for crying out loud, I thought this was going to impede speech recognition but it has stopped for a bit... Fuck off... It just started again!


Five minutes after...


Okay I guess they have done jackhammering for right now. So what else is new with my life? Well that fight I was an ear witness to? seem to have faded away, I'm pretty sure the guy must have admitted defeat and presto, all is back to normal until next fight. So my occupational therapist and I have been looking for the guy who's going to be doing the plans for my place, it appears that this is what I'm missing before I get the go-ahead or not from the landlords after that I will have to find somebody to do the work on my place and I would then be able to go out on my own! So I'll keep you posted on that one... Hammering?! Really?! They are going to be doing hammering now? Fuck... I'll post you later people!


Take care folks!

I heard that

Hello!

Here's a thing about MS patients you may not know about, we suffer from wax build up in the ears and we have to get our ears flush with a solution to eliminate the wax. I just had this done to one of my ears because it was really blocked, my luck has it I ran out of the solution so I improvised! I told my wife to mix half alcohol and half water and to pour it inside my ear...I had mixed result! It clear the wax off fairly quick but it burned the living daylights out of me!! Mind you, I have never heard as good as I do right now, so tomorrow she will do the other ear, we might want to change the ratio of alcohol and water....

Take care!

Makeup sex at the neighbors

Hello!

False alert people! It wasn't the fighting neighbors that were screaming, it was another couple that have nothing to do with my building. But I wonder what's going to happen with them....I wonder if they are going to have makeup sex tonight...that would be something because my wife would be traumatized since her bedroom is just below theirs...happy birthday sweetheart!

Take care folks!

Los Endos

Hello!

Coming to you live from the great outdoor under a not so perfect sky and a fall breeze hitting my bones. I went to buy the essentials for a person to survive: eggs, bread, milk...plus waffles and mini chocolatines for my coffee tonight.

Nothing to report from my supermarket run and when I came back I decided to stay out here to enjoy the weather. I was contemplating the sky when I suddenly heard shoutting coming out of my neighbor's pick up and a person walking.....OMG it was his GF!! they were shouting and yelling and he was telling her that if she wasn't happy she could move away and she called hima half man.....no she didn't call me, she called him that! I didn't know where to hide my face!!! Man the things I miss when being cooped inside!!! Oh! More yelling....gotto go and see if I can hear something beneficial for my blog...

And to think that months ago they were holdings hands and acting yucky in public...

Take care

It's not me, it's Irene

Hello!


How are you people?


No I am not late, nor did I woke up late, nor was I having a bath!

No no no no! I woke up early, I had my bath early due to people canceling because they have no electricity and I was ready to post by 8:45 AM. So I'm dictating to my computer even though I cannot post this note, why? Because I have no Internet! Fucking Irene really did a number on my ISP server, I didn't lose electricity like my mother or brother that had no electricity for a good 10 hours, but I didn't have Internet this morning and the people who provide me the service say that it will not be up until one o'clock this afternoon. So if you're reading this it's because the Internet is back up but I wrote this note at 10:00 AM this morning, after having breakfast, after having my bath, after watching family Guy, after many things that happen... Having no Internet sucks people!


Today is a special day, my better half, the mother of my daughters, my wife, turns 38! No, not really. She still a child and she's finally turning 34, but don't say I told you this! I know, I rob the cradle or maybe she took advantage of me... Any hoot, happy birthday baby...


Take care folks!

The f$&$*blog

Hello!

Well I woke up late and this what you get, 1:45AM and eyes wide open watching an episode of what could happen to us and how there's nothing that we can do....I love astronomy!!!

Just finished watching MTV video awards, einn not much to say except I'm freaking old and little Wayne's song I could hear it because it was beeped, image that?! At 1:46 AM and it's still being censored! I understand when it aired live but on a repeat at this time when I am sure that a lot of kids are asleep?!? Thank God that I can still swear on my blog....shiiit...

Take care folks!

Irene that biatch

Hello!

Yes well, we've been suffering the side effects of Irene here...loosing power and getting it back, heavy rains, fire, brimstone and summer cleaning for the girls...I am just sitting down watching the rain fall. This is the reason I haven't blog today and I'm doing it from my iPod because the computer goes on and off.....stupid Irene

Take care folks!

Chuck the ballroom dancer

Hello!


Good day folks!

Well I wanted to go out for a stroll but the weather's getting a bit crappy and believe it or not is too hot for me out there. I know that they have issue weather alerts for tomorrow for my region about intensive rain and strong winds, this has to do with the hurricane Irene hitting North Carolina and now moving on to New York City which is only about 600 km from here. So it has been a very boring Saturday, come to think of it I haven't had a good weekend where I wake up early in a while.

Not much to tell you today except that I saw a movie about ballroom dancing and it reminded me when I took a couple of courses to learn how to do this. Now don't laugh, they started me of with the waltz and for my brothers wedding I thought I was ready so when I had the chance I grabbed the bride and wanted to show off my skills, well if somebody would have had a video camera back then they would've probably won $10,000 dollars at AFC. The bride and I started to dance and then Boom... The bride is on the floor and I'm laughing my head off! Well it didn't last long because I slipped on her dress and fell to the floor myself! That was my short career as a ballroom dancer...


Take care people!

Almost a perfect evening

Hello!

Well it was a super duper night for me! Good food, sip of the old Patron bottle before they prescribe me another round of antibiotics and a great movie to finish the evening with a bang....

Now the only thing better than Independence Day (movie) is Independence Day HD. Oh yeah! This is the x to the power of 10 that I have seen the movie and I love it! It is my favorite movie of all time, I never get tire of watching the human race kick ass. Although today I started to pick the movie apart bit by bit. I have never done this before and I found myself surprise by my action, maybe I am getting tired of it or perhaps I been watching to many science documentaries that make me be more realistic about Hollywood endings. All I know is that if ET comes and tries to kick our ass I will not go quietly into the night, I'm going to bitch about something or other..,

Take care folks!

Catheter and politics

Hello!


Good something folks!

Yes I am late because I told you I was going to get my catheter changed today, guess what? It didn't happen! Apparently I was missing something or other that I am supposed to have, this is something that comes every three months. I told the nurse that I had a shit load of irrigation material but I hadn't received any catheter changing package. She told me she was going to take it up with the person in charge of ordering my stuff, she wasn't really happy. She's also going to order another urine culture because she believes I still have an infection because the urine is not clean and there is a heavy odor, these are usually signs of an infection. So in a nutshell I'm having her come back in the afternoon or perhaps the other nurse that usually picks up the slack from visiting nurses in the morning.

Other than that, my life is pretty boring people, oh no wait! I forgot, I think I will be going into politics a bit more. Yeah, there's this old colleague of mine who's really into the new Democratic Party of Canada and I think he had something to do with the election that just happened, and now the NDP is in power in Brossard and he send me an invitation to go and mingle at the offices of the representative of Brossard; apparently he's a very young guy and who knows maybe next election I will help him get reelected.


Power to the people!

U235

Hello!

It seems my oldest one is growing at the speed of light. With every day that passes she gets smarter and sarcastic like her dad. She was showing me part of her books and this year they will be studying the periodic table. What's that you say? Well if I would know this, I wouldn't feel so depressed! I told her the truth when she asked me if I knew this, I told her that in high school I was too cool to waste my time on useless crap...no I told her the truth about her dad not being a good kid when growing up but that she should stay away from U235 because it was bad!

The old man still got it!

In bed already

Hello!


Well I'm in bed already, I was feeling tired and wanted to blog but not sitting down...

Hey tomorrow the nurse is coming over to change my catheter and do a follow up of my health in general. I haven't seen her in months so it might be a while till I start my blog tomorrow. I also told her I was getting operated to get a permanent catheter, maybe she can provide me with the pros and cons of this intervention.

Well wishing you all a good nigh/morning, got to prepare myself to watch the Jersey Shore with my girls...boy I'm such a hip dad!

Take care!

Tell me about your mother

Hello!


As promised here's the scoop regarding my bath guy and his latest regarding his life.

I feel bad, no no I have feelings too you know?! I feel bad for the guy, here I go making fun of his life and about him not being able to take a break off from his girlfriend. Today what he told me made me realize that this is a human being people, who aches and suffers like everybody else. He was really quiet today so I had to make the first move and I did. I asked him how was his week so far, he told me that he has seen better days. We kept on talking and yesterday apparently he went to Québec city, "oh well that's a nice place to visit" I said. He fell silent, almost shame to share with me what he was about to. He told me he didn't go to Québec city for pleasure but rather that he went to see a psychiatrist... WTF?! Why go so far for a psychiatrist I asked him. He then told me that when he was young he had some problems that he had to address with this guy and he has been taking psychiatric medicine since then. OMG! And I'm letting this guy give me a bath?! No offense you depressive persons out there, but what reassurance do I have that he is not gonna go boinker on me and tried to kill me?! Apparently he suffers from anxiety factor and this girlfriend issue has pushed him over the edge a bit, so he had to go to Québec city, which is a lovely city but three hours away from here, to see a psychiatrist who would reassure him that life goes on...

Shit... and I thought I had problems...

Take care folks, hopefully he will not go postal on me!

PS I know, I'll probably get the depressive Society of America or something after my butt but what can I do, I'm a very sensitive person...

My new found hero

Hello!


Good beginning of afternoon people!


I know, but I woke up late and just finished having my bath.

So I was debating inside my head what makes the difference between a man and a Superman. It all has to do with the electrician that came here yesterday to fix my place. Remember that a couple of months ago electromagnetic guru, little J.'s father, came over and replaced the electrical switches so I could control them with my RT 64? Well he did a decent job, a safe job, first he had the electricity turned off and then he began to work, but the guy who came yesterday was the complete opposite of the electromagnetic guru. First of all he looked like that type of person that didn't give a fuck if he lived or died while doing the work. Obviously I was freaking impressed when the guy started to work on the electrical outlet while the electricity was still running! Yeah! He took out the outlet and then started examining it and poof! Sparks came flying! So I told a guy if he wanted us to shut down the electricity... Sure he said with a "who gives a fuck" attitude. Wow! This is the type of guy I want to be when I get really old, somebody that doesn't give a hoot whether is green, purple, black, indigo for all I care! This guy, this guy left me impressed, no safe stuff for him like electromagnetic guru man, he didn't give a hoot that electricity could kill him, I'm pretty sure he has done nasty stuff in his lifetime and really doesn't care anymore, because he's been there... he's done that. I want to be like that...


Take care folks!


PS I'll have to tell you about the conversation I had with my bath guy today and how he has hit rock bottom with his life.

Let there be light

Hello!

Well I had 2 "electricians", the landlord and a kid come over to fix my electrical problem at around 7:45pm....they all came to the conclusion that problem came from the electric outlet where my bed is connected, and guess what?? They were freaking right, because once they changed it the electricity came back on!

Now the landlord wanted to pin this on me but the guy he brought over told him that it wasn't my bed, that probably the previous tenant overcharged that outlet so he left me alone. Now for all you electrical geeks out there, apparently the lower floor only has 1 circuit so if an outlet goes boinker I will lose power like I did today...I wish I understood this shit, believe it or not, I get nuclear fusion better than this...

At least I got my lights and the TV!

Electricity, bah! who needs it

Hello!


Well 6pm and I'm still in the dark eating McDs and listening to the girls fight...don't they have electricity up there?! well they decided it was going to be a family day today (???!!!) why? I could be sitting here typing my blog under the moonlight or with a candle. Oh and btw, I am typing the text, I was too lazy to start VR, so sue me! I still have a lot to catch up but hopefully it's a beginning....well hands are tired, I will intervene on the fight now and tell them the story when I almost ran away....


See you folks!

Electrical voodoo shit

Hello!

Well... The guy the landlord sent realized that we need an electrician. No shit Sherlock!! He thought I was a first grade moron and the first thing he asked me was "where was my breaker box?". It was in vain that I told him that I had already gone through it and it wasn't that. No, he decided to check for himself, he turned off all the power in my place, while my daughter was in the bathroom and got shit scareless because the lights went off, and that wasn't it. Then he disconnected everything in the house because he claims that sometimes having too many things connected will cause this problem, I told him to unplug whatever he wanted. Guess what? It didn't work! So at the end the guy just said that he was going to call the electrician so he could look at it, well it's 11:30 AM and no one has come here yet! I really really love my life... Hey, at least I have something to write to you about.


Take care folks!


PS man there are some bad drivers out there, I went to the superstore with my oldest daughter and I saw this Chinese lady ram into an Arab lady and just smiled at her afterwards... Thank God she was only driving a food cart!well... Back to waiting...sigh!

PS PS seriously?!! I live in what country?!! just as I was to post this the landlord and the guy who takes care of the building came in and did some voodoo electrical shit, it work? No, I still got no electricity but the solutions they gave were laughable. And now I don't know if the electric guy coming today or tomorrow, and by the way he is not an electrician, she works as a maintenance guy in a hospital "but he knows everything about electricity"... I really have to get my life together

A chance of rain with no electricity

Hello!


Good morning to you!


You wouldn't guess it in 1 million years what's going on at my household.

Believe it or not I am writing to you from the only workable electrical outlet! My lights don't work, my electrical outlets don't work and therefore I have no TV, no A/C, my bed doesn't work, no lights, I'm basically fuck! I called the landlord, I think I woke her up, and told her about it she said she's going to send somebody to look at it. I don't need somebody to look at it, I need somebody to fix it! Where is electromagnetic guru when you need him? Oh, I tell you where he is... In the middle of freaking nowhere! What good is he living up all the way in the boondocks with little J and his trusted sidekick Little C?! I would need him here now! Unfortunately it's not going to happen, so I'll have to wait for the electric guy, I hope he's an electrician, to come and fix this thing.


Oh well, what can you do?!


Take care folks!

Battle of the sexes

Hello!


Good day to you all.


Why couldn't girls come with a book of instructions?

Yes yes yes, I had a tangle with my daughter and wife this morning. As mentioned on my previous post that little pipsqueak is going back to school today and her mother and I prepared everything, or so we thought. First of all at seven sharp my mother called asking if my wife had seen something or other, she was answered with a negative response, but thank God for her call as as it woke up everybody and  my bath lady was going to be here at eight o'clock so kudos mom! Then as I was about to have my breakfast, my oldest daughter, the one going back to school, comes down in a nice pair of shorts. Strange but nice. So I only asked one question: "are you going to school with the shorts?"

She mumbled something and then went on back upstairs. No sooner had she gone up them my wife came to the side of the bed and started chastising me that thanks to my remarks my daughter was going to change the outfit. What?! Don't be silly! Said and done people, said and done. My daughter put on this skinny jeans with the excuse that it was going to be cold out there. So I asked her why she had changed, that she looked pretty in the other outfit. Her mother started growling on how I didn't get women and the best thing that I could have done was to be quiet and not say anything about her clothing. WTF?! I just asked a question, it was the stupid moody teenager that went postal on me!

Why can you girls be like us guys? Just an "on" and "off" switch will turn on the light, no you girls have to be complicated and we guys must push the right buttons, at the right time, in the right sequence to try and turn on the light. Seriously?! Maybe I should have been born gay or something, or are gay people the same?? And get this, these are only the first two, I still have another fruitcake coming my way! So I'm really really out numbered here, there's my wife, two kids and a freaking dog; all of them are women and I have to learn how to use the switches...


Take care folks!

Bed time for Bonzo

Hello!

Yup! Ready in bed to go and sleep, dream with angel I hope I will.

My oldest is off to school tomorrow, she will go and register, pay her books, get her locker and meet up with her possy. My youngest starts school until next week and I will have the house to myself, oh yea, Olivia will be my silent partner I hope. Tomorrow I will get my bath around 8:00AM living me the rest of the day free. I hope I don't wake up in the middle of the night like I've been doing, maybe this is why I was stiff all day long :(

Hope you have a good one!

Monday down the drain

Hello!


The technician finally came to change the charger for the machine that lifts me, but he wasn't satisfied so he changed the whole freaking motor! Now I have a new device instead of the other one that wasn't working properly according to him. Now when he called to inform me that he was coming here I was in bed getting my bath from the replacement bather... it was a woman that I could have swore that it was the first time she gives a bath to somebody. I had to tell her everything, what I like, to scrub harder or not, how do I like my beard shaved, a whole bunch of questions she was asking; at the end I told her that she was the boss and she could do with me as she please. I told her that if there was anything wrong I was going to tell her... she was quiet after that, well not so quiet she told me the latest news and how beautiful my feet were...


So that they turned out to be a so-so day, not much action, very crappy weather and as I said in my French blog, I woke up at 3:45 AM, again, but I had no inspiration so I could write a French or a Spanish post. Oh yeah, I'm still a bit stiff, I guess I'll have to wait till tomorrow hopefully it will be better...


Take care people!

Monday's problems

Hello!


Well my insurance issue was solved before I even got to called them, my pay was there this morning.


Onced that was solved, on its own, they put me on the chair just to find out that the machine that lifts me is not working properly! I'd don't know if it's the machine itself or the charger, you see when you connect the charger it doesn't seem to be doing its job, meaning it doesn't charge. So I placed a 911 call to my occupational therapist to let her know that my thingamajig wasn't working properly. She did what she had to do, she placed a call to the repair center who will hopefully send me some one to check this out before the end of the day. Keeping my fingers crossed here...


I'm still a bit stiff as mentioned on my post this morning but I have hopes that I will get better as the day progresses...


Take care folks!

iPod post

Hello!

Good day to you all!

Woke up this morning feeling a bit stiff, like if I had been been run over by a tank or something. Mind you the weather seems to be humid out there so maybe that has something to do with it, MS+Humidity= Pain in the ass even if my neurologist doesn't agree 100%, he needs scientific data to backup the claim otherwise it's just "some people report" lingo. I think I'm like an old beat up car that takes a couple of tries before it starts.

Nothing much happening today except that I need to call the LD insurance company because I didn't get paid yet! Usually by this day I already gotten my pay, got to make sure that whatever it is gets corrected....

See you later from my PC!

Balloon festival

Hello!

I noticed I didn't talk a lot about the balloon festival at St. Jean, I went on the web to seek more information about it and found out that it has really become a pretty big thing. Apparently there's some big names that come on over and sing: pit bull, Kesha, Flo Rida and other names. Even little J. got in the act, his dad won some tickets to go and grab dinner and backstage passes to meet pit bull and really close seats... Obviously his folks were late so there was no dinner nor a meet and greet with pit bull... once-in-a-lifetime chance and the parents fucked it up. At least they took some pictures but I will be there to remind him that his life could have changed if it wasn't for his parents... But they're cool, the folks gave the tickets for today's activities for my girls.

Okay folks, that's it for me. Apparently tomorrow is going to be a lady coming over to give me my bath at two o'clock in the afternoon, I will blog in the morning.

is that?... Nah, it cannot be! It is... it is! It's little J, oh and in the background I think it's pit bull!

Little J and some guy...

Take care folks!

A perfect lazy Sunday

Hello!


Good late afternoon to you folks!

Sorry for being extremely late but it was a movie day today... Followed by doing F all... it was a Sunday what do you want?!

So my girls are off today to the hot air balloon festival that happens in a nearby city called St. Jean sur le  Richelieu. I went to this festival when I was little boy and the festival had just started, now apparently it's much much bigger and there's a lot of traffic... A lot of fun!

So they have started to clean the room where my nana used to reside, apparently there was a lot of things she kept that made no sense... a.k.a. empty boxes and a whole bunch of crap... She was a real hoarder. Also, apparently there was a box with my name on it and when they opened it the box contained a lot of pictures from me and mementos I had brought her back from my trips. Spooky stuff my friends... I wonder what's gonna happen with that room?

Today I also worked on my French blog, I posted a little note about an inspiration I had yesterday night, okay early this freaking morning! Like a clock I woke up at 3:45AM and my iPod was fully charged for some strange reason, so then inspiration hit me right in the face and I grabbed my iPod and started writing in French, this afternoon after seeing a couple of movies I edited the text and posted it on my blog...


That has been my lazy hazy Sunday... Hope you all had a good one too!

No hablo Spanish

Hello!


Yes! Every Saturday must be one of those special Saturdays, the type of Saturday to you thank God for not having an accent in English and being able to speak French and Spanish. This type of Saturday is known as:


"Ejcuse me, do you speak Spanish?"

All you people out there that don't have a Spanish name don't have to suffer through this every Saturday. All you Johns or Marys or Mohammeds out there don't have to fear that dreaded call that comes in around 10 o'clock from a long distance number that you know is a Spanish place somewhere in the US. I get these because my name is Spanish, Chuck...er... sorry Carlos. So every Saturday it never fails, a 305 area code number or some really pathetic number that I have no clue where the fuck it's from (878?) calls. The first thing the person at the other end of the line does is: "Ejcuse me do you speak Spanish?"

Of course I don't speak Spanish, not for you at least. I know from experience that these people want to sell me a long distance plan that's going to save me billions of dollars... They didn't understand, because trust me I have spoken with them before, that my family resides within spitting distance of my house. I know of no one that lives outside of Canada, I don't make freaking long-distance calls. These people keep on calling me asking if I speak Spanish and the response is always the same "fuck no!" One day I'm sure they're going to have a smart guy call and tell me that he speaks English, I will immediately change to French and if that doesn't work, I'll pull a couple of Chinese phrases...If that doesn't work I'll tell them that it's my partner that makes the decisions...wait no,,,,the gay people will start calling then...


Take care folks!

McDs with Gloria...

Hello!


Hope you guys are having a wonderful weekend!

Yes it's a bit late my post but we were having McD's breakfast this morning while watching a documentary about the life of Gloria Steinem. You don't know who she is?! Well she fought for women's rights during the late 60s, 70s, 80s... And I think she's still kicking ass. Some women respect her, other ones believe she should rot in hell for having destroyed the "American family". What's my opinion on the matter? Hey, anybody that goes against "the man" is okay by my book. I mean here's a lady that did something for society so that it could advance, what have I done? Do you think HBO is gonna make a documentary about my life one day? No, I'm going to fade away, obviously the kids had a lot of questions about the whole woman thing and being the father that I am I answer each and every one of them. So this is the reason why I'm late today, then after the documentary there was a concert by lady gaga, I didn't want to see this but I was out-bitched on this one and had to see part of it, thank God for short memory expansion...


This afternoon my kids are going to go and purchase their school supplies-Yay!- With my wife. One week to go folks, one week. I would say that in two weeks from now I will be blogging all alone again, just me and my dog...


Take care folks!

Prom night

Hello!


Well it seems it was a day of remembering the past.

Today while watching TV with my daughters they were passing a documentary regarding high school graduations and prom nights. My oldest daughter asked me if I had a prom might, I told her yes that I had a good prom night! I wasn't a popular kid nor was I part of the "in" crowd, I hang with everyone. I was more of a happy-go-lucky type of guy, I really didn't care and nobody really bother me. So at my prom I was friends with everybody, including the parking guy at the valet parking, oh yeah I went all the way. You see where a lot of my friends were renting limos that they had to return before certain hours or borrowing cars, I was driving a white Cadillac Deville that belonged to me, technically. The car belonged to my mother's boyfriend but he had made it aware to everybody he knew that once he would passed away I was the beneficiary to his will. Now don't you go look at me like that, the only good thing the guy had was his Cadillac. He was really into cars and treated his baby like there's no tomorrow. So for prom night I had a white Cadillac Deville, humongous boat with an electronic trunk; you didn't have to slam the trunk, you just pushed it down and it would automatically closed itself.

No, I didn't have a hot date nor was I named the prom King. Here in Canada, or at least at my high school, we didn't have that, were a socialist country-everybody is the "same". I did have a date, I went with my best friend at the time and we brought 2 Asian girls with us, mind you once we hit the hotel they went their own separate ways because I don't remember them being at my table. Another thing that I had on my side that night was that I had gotten cash left and right, I believe that I got as gifts, for that night alone, about $1200 dollars to spend as I wished... So whenever there was talk about having a champagne bottle brought over to our table, money was no object. So my prom night was one to remember... Specially since I didn't go to sleep until late next day because my mother had organized a trip to a national park that had a beautiful lake... Long Sault was the name of the park and we had crappy weather that day but I didn't care, I have had the best time of my life the previous night, one that I'll remember for ever...


Take care folks!

Her name was Vicki...

Hello!

I was going down memory lane today with my oldest daughter and I was telling her of all the adventures I have had, okay not all of them but the ones that deserved to be mentioned. Analyzing all of my "mishaps" I have come to the conclusion, once again, that I'm a sucker for voices that have something in them, I don't know what it is but all I need is either an accent, a lisp, something that makes that person's voice different. I'm really a sucker for these type of things. I went as back as I could remember, then inadvertently I remembered her. Ah yes, I believe her name was Vicki. This was a torrid love affair that never happened, laughable when I think about it now but did it ever put a dent on my male ego back then. You see folks, when I was but a child, 20 odd years old, my brothers and I used to order food at this restaurant quite often, Kent was its name, and one day kismet was to be part of the equation. I was placing the order, she was answering the phone... this is it folks, I found my better half!

With this idea on my head, one day my crew and I decided to pay a visit to the restaurant, you know just to make sure that she wasn't some sort of alien or something. What I saw pleased my eyes, that's it I was in total and undeniably in love. This is the girl that was going to be the mother of my children, has to be, otherwise why would the universe had me call that day and her answer the phone with that peculiar tone of voice, with that gigantic lisp. Well, I kept on ordering and she kept on taking the calls, this was real love folks... Then the day came when I was ready for it, I couldn't wait any longer, I had to go and see her, tell her how I felt. It didn't matter that it was a stormy day outside, this was just going to add to the story I was gonna tell my grandchildren one day. So off I went to see Vicki and tell her my feelings for her... when I got to the restaurant I ordered coffee and a piece of cheesecake, I didn't want to look like I was desperate. So once I finished my coffee, paid my bill and got ready to drive back to the house, I approached her and told her my feelings:

"Look, would you like to go and see a movie one day with me?"

Then the harshest words that ever came out of somebody's mouth hit me:

"Uhh, I got a boyfriend..."

Oh the tragedy! The universe started laughing at me and has never stopped since then... The only girl I have ever asked out on a date has a freaking boyfriend! Seriously?! I think my life would have been different if she would have said yes, then again maybe this was my destiny... Maybe I needed to learn some sort of lesson that I really never got because I was too heartbroken to realize it...Dumb boyfriend..maybe she didn't like guys....


Take care folks!

Senility runs in my family

Hello!


Good day to you all!


As I said on previous posts, leave it to a woman to shake your head back into place when it comes to memories (speech recognition really sucks today).

A couple of posts ago I was reminiscent about the trip I had done to Mexico at the same time as Britney spear and the Pope. In my head this trip took place back in 1993 and I had even made a comment to my friend back then:

"it was going to be a cold day in hell before the Pope, Britney spear and Chuck Guzman would be together again in the same city at the same time."

 I mean, I even remember battling traffic to get to the airport because the Pope was leaving the same day, the same freaking hour, as I was. I remember all of this as clearly as yesterday!

Well, this morning they were talking about the new pope and I started to tell her the story about my trip back in 1993... Guess what? She knew about it! Not only that that trip didn't take place back in 1993 as I remembered but in the year 2002! I was surprised, I even asked her if she was there, she told me she was in the same car I was and that the smart Alec remark I had made about the Pope and Britney Spear wasn't told my friend but to my sister-in-law!! What the fuck?!! I could have swore that this happened eons ago before your time I said to her, she just smiled and told me I was getting old...


I will blame this on MS people, that's all I have to say!


Take care folks...

Visit from a nephew

Hello!

I forgot to mentioned that toda I had a visit from one of my nephew, he's rather quiet until we went outside. When we got out he started to ask all these questions on my beliefs and why my thinking had let me to them. Wow what a smart kid! He would also take in what I would tell him regarding the universe and it's oddities, he would really get into our conversation, the kid is a walking encyclopedia....

Take care!

I'm still breathing

Hello!

Yeah I know, sorry I haven't been posting this afternoon but I was outside for a bit. Believe it or not my youngest one went outside with me and while she was enjoying the fresh air been doing her voodoo stuff on her computer and I fell asleep! But this is not really the main reason, I think, I didn't post much today. I think the main reason is because... Hang on a sec... The freaking dog was eating my daughter's shoes, where was I? Yes, the main reason why I didn't post much today... Well it's just that the stats are still not working, I know I have gotten hits the number keeps on increasing but I do not know which of my post was the most favorite one today! So I decided on something that is going to be taking place come the end of August, I will activate my domain webpage and start blogging on it, I don't care if I have to start all over again, my statistics that is, but I cannot be relying on this website or another to have my blog up and running. I know, I'm too much of a prima donna am I? I don't know, maybe I like perfection too much, maybe I was in a real bitchy mood today, but I like people to know that as of September 1 my blog will be moving to my domain name http://www.guzman.ca you've been warned...



Take care folks!

Thursday's saga continues

Hello!


Good something to you!

Yes I'm late, but I did post something early in the morning because I knew I was going to be late, and I discovered something, the blogspot stats are not working properly. That or people are fed up with my blog because apparently no country has read that post even though I can see that different countries came and saw it. The post is about Earth finally doing something to hopefully destroy an incoming asteroid one-day. But I guess people are not interested in that type of shit... They are rather interested in gossip! Well here we go...

So my bath guy came today, my Thursday bath guy, who still recovering from his splitville with his girlfriend. He came into my place and he had a long face, so inquisitive minds want to know: how are you?

Dear Lord! Why did I ask this? He immediately went into a rampage, first he was down on himself because he didn't know if he was ever going to get used to the idea of being alone. I told him that it had only been a couple of months, tops, that I was pretty sure that sooner or later there would be a despera...er...lonely lady out there for him, that all he needed to do was to be patient. I know that my wife wanted to hook him up with her mother, but then she remembered that this guy is all about sex and a house slave, so my mother-in-law told my wife to "...vete a la chingada" which basically means "NO", kids are not in school yet people I have to be polite. After having SOB his heart out, he started to complain about his ex-wife and how she "spoils" his kids when they are with her. You know stuff like buying them brand-name clothes, taking them out to the movies, letting them stay up late, stuff that a parent does to keep their kids off the freaking computer and TV, stuff that doesn't work around this house because my oldest one is not normal...

When he left he apologized for being such as sourpuss and promised that next week he was going to be better... I told him not to worry, after all he gives me material to put on my blog, so be depressed if you want to, just tell me afterward so I can post it!


Take care folks!

Ending in a good note

Hello!

Well the day ended up on a high note, my occupational therapist called me back to let me know she was going to be faxing the prescription to the CMR for my leg brace, she also told me she was going to stay on top of the issue regarding the modifications to my place. Everything seems to be falling into place, again, let see how long it will last...

A misunderstood angel

Hello!


As promised I am writing a post regarding my nana, the person that took care of all of my brothers and me. But her work didn't end there, when the grandkids were born she also took care of them. Now her name never changed to grandmother or nana for that matter, it remained the same Julia. When my brothers and I were growing up she herself wasn't that old, you could say she grew up with us, you could say she was my mother's first child. Julia was "given" to my mother by the orphan school where Julia used to attend and my mother was her dance teacher. When my mother took Julia under her care she was 18 years old and when my older brother was born she was going to turn 20. Four years later yours truly was born and Julia didn't miss the call, neither would she miss it for the other 2 following boys. What I recall from her is that she was a great storyteller, she could scare the beJesus out of you with her stories of the Man without a head, of the man missing an ass, of the devil himself when we used to stay in my aunts spooky farm... She was my sister, my buddy, my mother, my caregiver when I was a child and later on in life when I needed a hand. To our sons and daughters she was an additional grandmother that would protect them and spoil them, she was there to defend them at whatever cost.


She deserves this break, she worked all her life for the benefits of others and she probably complained but not too loud. Wherever she is I pray that she is happy, that she's resting and that she still looks after us whenever she can... Julia you will be missed!


RIP Julia.....

After the stroll

Hello!

Well I just came back from a stroll and it really didn't change my state of mind that much. It is a very beautiful day out there nevertheless because of my illness I can only stay so much before I become mushy and I must them seek the refuge of a colder place where there's hopefully an A/C and no Sun. One thing I can say about the stroll is that you can definitely feel the changing of the season, it's nice and warm but when the wind hits you you can feel fall coming our way... I'm sure that when I stroll during fall I will feel winter...




I called the CMR and the receptionist took down my name and number and said that she was going to give the message and that hopefully she was going to call me back... I am definitely mad now... :-(

Yesterday night I wanted some Japanese peanuts that were left over from the visit of little J's mom, no sooner had I gotten a bag and tried to open it then the freaking bag exploded on me and leaving all the peanuts on the floor... I crushed them with my chair and my daughter had to do "cleaning on aisle five"... I hate this illness...


Take care all!

PS can you tell I'm in one of those moods?

And then there was life

Hello!


Good day folks, hope you're having a wonderful day.



Well I called the CLSC this morning and my occupational therapist is nowhere to be found. This creates a problem to all the things I wanted to do this morning, I wanted to solve the issue of my brace for my leg and I wanted to ask what had happened with the plan for the modifications to my place. So at this point I'll have to wait until she either comes back from vacation or she stops hiding from me. I still have one more issue that I could tackle, I can call the CMR and find out what the hell is the problem!

Hey, we were tallying up the costs of what the new school year was going to bring, I think we stopped at $2500 dollars...Then we just went to bed while I ponder which kidney I was going to sell to make ends meet... Kidding, but school is getting expensive, even if it's public school and apparently were not supposed to pay anything... Yeah, in what freaking world! Obviously, this is just the first big expense, after this there is Christmas! Ho ho ho! I swear I should become a Jehovah's Witness...

Take care folks!

PS I think I will go out for a stroll... You know, change my state of mind.

Issues past and pending

Hello!

Looking forward to Wednesday morning because I am going to clear up different issues that are pending with the CLSC and the CMR that seems to have forgotten me! What have I done to deceive this? Man are they going to hear from me, I have to get things moving again....please don't forget about me!

Tomorrow I will write a post regarding my nana to honor her and her life, I will include pictures of her when she was young and my brothers and I were kids...I will try to make justice to her...

Take care

Somebody's lying

Hello!

Boy am I pissed, I just got a call back from the CMR regarding the brace for my leg... They never got freaking prescription that apparently the CLSC said they had sent. Now somebody's lying and obviously I will never get to the bottom of this, but I have left messages to the CLSC to speak with my occupational therapist regarding this and the modifications of my place, so I expect a call back tomorrow and I expect her lame excuses on why she hasn't sent the prescription yet or how she sent it to somebody else.


Well less than two weeks before the girls go back to school! I think this weekend my wife is going to tackle a purchase of some sort regarding school. Let's just hope that this year they do better at school than last year... Stupid kids...


Take care folks!

Questions galore

Hello!


Well it's a love-hate relationship between my daughters and myself, when they are not here I miss them like crazy but when they are here I want to kill them. One of them is like a zombie just playing with her electronic toys up there and the other one takes over my computer to watch her teen shows. I remember when I was their age I used to respect the space of my mother or father, I don't think I have a space...

I had a meeting finally with the landlord regarding the work they want to do in the apartment, I don't know if she's agreeing or disagreeing. She just kept on smiling and nodding her head, was that an approval? I had to repeat myself about the work that they were planning to do and it was always the same reaction, nodding/smiling. I could have been telling her about the building being on fire and she would probably still have the same reaction. At the end the only thing she wanted was to see a plan of the work they want to do... I still don't know if I got the green light or not...


Take care people!


PS my leg is killing me... Are cookies and milk considered lunch?

Summer camp blues in pictures

 Hello!

How are we today people?


Yesterday I was talking with my daughters about their summer camp experience and one of them told me if I had seen the pictures that were uploaded every day to Facebook. What?! There's a Facebook page about this place? They told me that there were several pictures where they had been immortalized and uploaded to Facebook. So I sent an e-mail to the person who was in charge of this just to find out that she was still out of the office. But then my oldest daughter told me that there was a paper they had sent with them regarding the website, that my youngest daughter probably still had it. She did! Good old young daughter, if there's a paper to be kept I knew she would still have it! So without any further delays, here's a couple of pictures of my daughters at summer camp...


I'm putting the best pictures because a lot of them my daughters are in the background or their heads have been chopped off by the camera man...

The pain

Hello!

My leg is killing me tonight, I already took some extra strength shit but it hasn't kicked in yet. I will make it a point to call the CMR tomorrow to find out what's going on with the brace I'm supposed to get, at this point I really need something to keep my foot straight while on the wheelchair, at night I have a cushion that the CLSC has provided me with but it really doesn't help that much...I'm in pain...sigh
