Tuesday drama

Hello!

Lots of white stuff coming down on us...Aghh...and I have to go to an appointment on Friday...I hope they cleared it by then....

I finished the paper work for the China trip...now it's just a waiting game and the 3 vaccines she needs....She's going to have one heck of a trip my kid....

Gota run...stay thirsty my friends...

A bit of history doesn't hurt

Hello!

Good Tuesday people…

I know, please forgive me!  You see, my daughter’s trip to China required me today to fill up some paperwork for her visa, and then I was stranded in bed until now.  So as you can see my day hasn’t been exactly a bed of roses. First of all before I go any further, I’d like to wish my sister in law a happy birthday, she’s turning a gazillion years today…  Happy birthday you old geezer!

Now on with my post, yesterday I bought this new product from Otrivin that apparently it’s good for your nose blockage…  Sea water and Aloe…  Now I bought this not knowing that it was a pressurized mist that was “injected” into your nose.  I’d don’t know if is the sea water or the pressurize air that unblocks your nose but I don’t like it; it feels awkward and I don’t think I’ll buy again.

Not affiliated to Hitler

Also two days ago I was seeing a show called “Apocalypse”.  It was about the second world war and I was not really into it because I know most of the stuff…  But then I heard the name Hugo Boss…  I rewind the program (I can do that, I have a PVR); and shit!  What do I hear?!  Apparently he designed the uniforms for the “brown shirts”…  Who are they you say?!  Well they were part of Hitler’s army (at the beginning), but this is not why his name (Hugo Boss) caught my attention, no, he also designed the uniforms for the SS!  You know those guys who weren’t very nice people?!  Yeah!  Hugo Boss did their uniforms…  I was surprise, I mean I know lots of big names (Porsche, Ford) interacted with Hitler, but I didn’t know that someone from the fashion industry was also guilty of associating with him…  Needless to say that all those people have passed away and now you know why I boycott products that have such names…  I don’t drive a Porsche, I don’t drive a Ford and for crying out loud, I never liked the brand Hugo Boss; I like Perry Ellis....

They care people!


PS Boss has 2 "S"s...coincidence or what!?!

Baby it's cold outside...

Hello!

I’m back…

You know how I bitch because I’m always inside my place, not going out?  Well, next time I’m bitching remind me that I am an A_whole for doing so or just tell me that it’s probably cold outside!  I just came back from my Medicare thing I told you about and while waiting for the bus I had an epiphany: it’s fucking cold outside!  Every time I have to wait for the bus, I have to be ready outside; while they are allow to be late half an hour.  So today my bus was supposed to pick me up at 1:55 PM, what time do you think they came?  2:25 PM!  I was frozen stiff!  And when I came back my bus was half an hour late again!  I was really a really cold people, so no more bitching about staying inside all the time.  I love my computer, I love my life, you guys can work all you want  out there in the cold, the heat, the whatever…  I’ve been there, I’ve done that!

Take your folks!

PS now I have to tackle the emails the school from my daughter sent me regarding the China trip…  Let me put it this way, my daughter was supposed to have shots today and where is she?!  At the mall!  So the guy in charge of the China trip will be sending me a whole bunch of emails he had sent to my old e-mail address…  It sucks people…  sucks

The post that never was

Hello!

Good day folks…

I was gonna start off with a archeological post today with pictures of my remaining figurines,  stuff about what I was told about when I purchased them and how it didn’t pan out for me….

I asked my daughter to take pictures of my figurines so I could blog about them…Boy what’s it ever hard for me to convince her to take those freaking picture! Why now?! Such a hazzle! She’ll take the pictures tomorrow before she goes out shopping! At the end I convinced her to take the pictures. Great! I will have high definition photos to show my readers and I will tell them how I came into possession of these works of art and how a reader/collector will offer 1.2 million dollars and I will say no I want 1,5 eventually settling at 1.35 million dollars….let me catch my breath…He will then send me an electronic cash transfer and I will make him come to Montreal to pick up his/her new toys and everybody will be happy!! Well here beside the text is what appears to be a dagger…trust me…but I don’t think I’ll get a penny out of this….while my daughter is out shopping her head off for a new dress…

It’s going to be a long wait until I get proper pictures so sit tight…

Sunday living large

Hello!

Good day to you mortals…

It’s cleaning day in my household, we’re receiving guest today and the house “has” to be clean. It’s always like this, it doesn’t matter if you’re the queen of Spain or a hobo, the house is going to get clean because somebody is coming….and it’s always my fault that we’re having guests, if it was for her she would be “OK” just being a vegetable rotting  away…..

Tomorrow I will go to the CLSC for my picture validation; I will take the opportunity to go seeing that my daughters have no school…Friday it’s the CMR appointment and then another weekend and I have nothing planned so I’m OK….

Take care people!

Sigh

The sun comes up, I chink about you. The coffee cup, I think about you. I want you so, It's like I'm losing my mind.


"The sun comes up,
I chink about you.
The coffee cup,
I think about you.
I want you so,
It's like I'm losing my mind...."

I look good...

Hello!

Happy go lucky

Just got back from taking a picture for my medicare card, now I have to go to the CLSC and have my pictures validated;,after this I need to mail them to the offices of the government....And to do it all over again in 4 years. BTW, I am not very photogenic....I look like a moron.. told my girls that I look like this cause I'm smiling, they didn't buy it..


Take care!

PS look at the mystery of my eyes, like saying who is this handsome guy

The figurines

Hello!

I asked my daughter to give me my figurines I had purchased eons ago when I use to like playing “archaeologist” in Teotihuacan.  I purchased these from a “friend” and he swore to me that they were the real thing.  Last year when that nice French girl came over and tried to help my breathing, I told her about my trips to Mexico and how I had purchased some “original” stuff.  I also told her about having stored these things away and I had no clue where they were anymore.  Well as mention on my blog last Sunday was dehoarding weekend and I found them!  Now I know where they are and they will not be misplaced again…  I have to get them appraise by somebody maybe I’m sitting on a gold mine and I don’t know about it, then again…  Damn Mexicans…

Have a good weekend people!

Lean eating my buttocks

Hello!

What I did doze off for a bit, had my lunch and now I’m blowing…

I mentioned that I had a meeting next Friday with the CMR, I sure hope they have my back rest ready because the one I currently have is a pain in the ass, sorry the back.  Funny, the old Dragon software if you didn’t say anything it would start typing “him him him…” and this software recognition program will somehow recognize dead air as “Wu Wu Wu…”.  I hope I will get enough money for my birthday so I can buy that Dragon software…

Oh yes!  As of next week we start the Aquarius season, my sister in law, my nephew, my brother, my other sister in law and me we all have birthdays starting next week…  Does it put a damper on the wallet…

I mentioned my munch because my wife has been buying these “Lean cuisine” meals for me.  They don’t taste bad, but it’s not the big men TV dinners I used to have when I was a kid, is more for like the refined man that I have become…  I guess!  Boy do I miss those TV dinners…  It’s been only 30 minutes ago that I had my spaghetti/parmesan veal/chicken and I’m already hungry…  After this I am going to raid the kitchen and see what I can find…

Take care folks!

Friday in dumpsville

Hello!

Good day folks…

I just finished troubleshooting my printer; my oldest daughter was trying to print a work for today, which was given to her a while back, but you know kids these days…  Nevertheless I spent about an hour without any success.  Well I did what super technicians like me do to solve the problem, uninstall and reinstall the printer.  Works!  I haven’t print her work yet because it demands color and I don’t want to waste whatever little color I have left…

Just got a call from the CMR, I have to go there next Friday so they can adjust my chair again…  It’s an endless game, they modified the chair as much as they can so that I may be more comfortable, bless their heart.

Yes we have crappy weather today, snow, rain, freezing rain, meteor showers, the end of the world type of weather…  I feel like napping, I think I will put some pathetic show and doze off.

Take care of yourselves people!

The dream

I saw you in a dream. Had I known it was a dream I would have never awoken, I miss you.

Sigh...

The dog, the nurse and me

Hello!

Good day all…

Look, it’s not you and it’s not me…  I am late because of the CLSC!  Hear my story, you’ll get a kick about shit that happens to me even if I have no life.

First of all my bath guy that last year lost his girlfriend because she left him and was looking for love in all the wrong places, now has girl problems; according to him.  Apparently there’s a 32 year old girl who seems to be interested in him…  Let’s not look at the age difference, he’s 55 and she’s young enough to be his daughter!  Somehow it’s kinda hard to believe mainly because to us guys a pretty lady says hello and we think that they are madly in love with us; trust me, I’ve been there! I'm still trying to forget her...  Now the girl problem resides because somebody on the Internet so his file in the dating site he visits and, I guess the girl is blind, the lady got in contact with him and they are going out this weekend.  So kudos lonely guy, you are now a super stud like me…

Now this is not the reason why I’m late.  The reason why I’m late is because the nurse was late…  But it doesn’t end there, no not by a long shot!  The nurse walks into my place and asks me if I knew of anybody who could help her get her car unstuck from the ice patch she was in.  Obviously I tell her no; furthermore I cannot even see who it is because she had ordered that I stay in bed so that she may check me out…  You know, the front, the back…  But obviously there’s more, she walks out the patio door and she left it open!  What do you think happened?!  Olivia went out the door and was wandering around the parking lot…  Now you had crazy nurse running around trying to catch my dog while trying to get help so she could get her car unstuck and I'm going nuts on my bed without the capacity to help anybody. And this is the reason why I’m late today…

Boy I hope you’re having a better day…

What happens when I sleep

Hello!

I often wonder when I’m sleeping and my better half apparently goes to bed also, what is she doing?!  Is she really asleep like she cleans?  Can I really trust her?  Well, I hired a private detective just to reassure myself that she really is faithful to me, to the family.  Well I got the report today and I was a surprise.  This is what she does when I’m asleep, at 12:30 AM…  Talk about your weirdos, it was nice while it lasted but I think I’m supposed to be more important…

I’m speechless people…

Bottled dreams

Hello!

Good day to you all…

It’s one of those days people, I feel tired, I feel weak, I feel lousy.  Usually I dictate with spirits high in the clouds, I’m almost certain that people outside my place think I’m nuts, but today I’m quiet, a bit distant from the world and to be honest?  I just want to be in bed!  I don’t know what triggered this chapter in my life, maybe it was my oldest daughter who broke several bottles of beer; thus destroying my supply for next week’s Super Bowl. We'll see how the day keeps on going, perhaps my bipolar brain will go from dark to light…

I bet you didn't see that…  I had to interrupt my post because my bath people were here.  Yeah, two of them, the usual girl and my original bath guy who stopped working because of back injuries.  He’s coming back slowly but surely, the insurance people want him to return to work…  And just like that, I’m feeling better…  I told you, bipolar brain…

Take care folks…

An informative afternoon

Hello!

It was a genealogy afternoon again (after the freaking food got here at 12:33PM), finding information, digging here and there...and I made some nice discoveries that assert my mother's stories about her mother, my grandmother. My grandmother was the director of a college called Primero de Julio (first of July) and she was  a very respected director in 1957 as well as a very liked member of her city; her sister and brother also. I also discovered there is European blood in the family but not in my branch....there's just criminals, priests ....But at least I got a confirmation that my mother was right about her mother...My cousin in the other hand found out that he is related to a famous Salvadorean poet, I'm still looking for the connection between Einstein and me...

Take care folks..

Meals on wheels is MIA

Hello!


Judging by the number of hits my last post had most of you don't succumb to alarming posts foretelling the end of the world . I was surprised also to see humanity around when they pulled me from under the bed..

This aside...I AM HUNGRY!!! My meals on wheels haven't arrive yet and it's 12:09PM!!! At this time I'm getting ready to see TV or listen to music...I'm surviving because there was an open bag of Doritos  with my name on it but that will not do! If worst case scenario comes, I will have to call my brother's wife to buy me something to eat...dam meals on wheels!!

Take care folks!

PS it's 12:26PM and meals on freaking wheels is not here!!!

It's the end of the world

Hello!

Good something to you....

As I write these lines a doomsday feeling looms in the background. Most of you are active or doing things with out even worried on what is coming our way, but since I have, or rather had, time on my hands I will share this factoid with you...even if it's the last thing you read...

On Sunday there was a solar flare that emitted a gust of solar radiation towards us. At 9:18AM we will get hit by this wave of doom that will disrupt communications, bring planes down, cause earthquakes, create tsunamis and promote massive bowel movements all over the globe....it was nice knowing you

Take care...

PS if that doesn't get me a Pulitzer, I don't know what will.....btw I'm kidding about the doomsday scenario...

Wobbling through life

Hello!




There's nothing that a nap can't cure..except perhaps MS.... :(


This afternoon I ate lunch, watch some TV and the went on to do my exercises I do, when I remember. It was depressing folks; The 2.5 pound weights I use to lift with a certain easiness have now become a tad heavy for me.Bummer! I was sad...You see, in my head I was getting better day by day. I was just in a slump, waiting for this to be over; who was I kidding. I still don't share the believes of the doctors, of the illness, that tell me that although not a mortal disability, my body will shut down slowly but surely. So I was sad and sadness can lead to naps...and then I woke up, tried the stupid weights and guess what?!? Yeah, they're still heavy! Bummer (again)! 




Maybe I'll nap some more...

Tackling my afternoon

Hello!

Yesterday night it was “new recipe” night and we had chicken wraps à la Tex-Mex style; Tex-Mex was an invention of my wife.  We got the recipe for the chicken wraps at General Mills whose page I like on Facebook, the Tex-Mex flavor was added thanks to Velveeta cheese and Tostitos salsa, what a combination people!  It was an awesome night; I mean after doing all that de-hoarding I deserve some sort of reward.  It was a good night; a good time…

And then today came with its genealogy winds and its problems with Dragon naturally speaking.

A couple of years ago ex colleague of mine that used to work at Nuance got me a copy of this speech recognition software.  A much better utility for speech recognition than the one that comes with Windows, Vista or Windows 7.  Well my old computer died and I had to buy a new one, I kept my dragon DVDs but to no avail, when I tried to install them today…pupu caca!  The version I had been given before was version 9 and Windows 7 requires a different version, I believe version 11.  So I’ll have to tough it up and use the one that comes with Windows 7…  It ain’t so bad, I mean it recognizes better than the speech recognition system that came with Vista…

On with the show people…  Have a great afternoon or beginning of evening or middle of the morning!  OK, have a good evening for some of you…  Or night…  ah fuck it….  I’ll go and eat my lunch…

One day I`ll understand

Hello!

Good day....

Today I woke up in a genealogical kinda mood....Yeah, I've been tackling stuff since bed! Old pics my cousin put, bless his grandfather for having documented everything in photos, on FB and he has gotten response on them....Remember the pic of my grandmother and 2 boys that I thought was my brother and me just to be  corrected because it was my cousins according to their sister but my mother said F you all that`s you guys but my oldest brother said no way Jose too ugly that`s our cousins and now cousins in our country are debating the picture whether it is us or it is one of my other brothers...fuck the picture below!!

 At this point nobody has challenge the fact that the old lady is my grandmother, but this is the fun part about genealogy/archaeology you get into historical debates on how your ancestors were better than the Joneses and how that is the tomb of Cleopatra and not Miss Magdalena AND how your mother isn`t really your mother....still working on that theory, just a matter of time....

I love women, I love cigars, I love genealogy....

Sunday in the clouds

Hello!

Good Sunday people....

I never liked Sundays...always made me sad knowing that tomorrow is the week all over again. Mind you, I don't have much to do now except breath and blog...breath and blog...

Not much happening today, we woke up late and to a hot and hum...sorry I was hopping it was summer, no we woke up at a fantastic -22c...got to love Canada!  And let it be known that I am bitching at the weather because winter in general is not disable friendly. It's not like my wheelchair is a 4x4 that drives perfectly in all terrains...no, sometimes I cannot even go on the grass because it is uneven....don't get me started on going to the beach...I am certain I would get stuck on the sand....

But don't mind me, this is just the illness talking. I'm sure that Tuesday when I go out all will be well!

Take care folks....have a great week!

Hoarding my way out

Hello!

I don't know what got into my wife but she surprisingly sent me a couple of boxes of old stuff I had to go through and see what was good and what wasn't....You know that show "Hoarding: Buried alive"? Well I always make fun of those cry babies and how they can't get rid of old stuff, garbage stuff...guess what?? It was my turn to face the music and I understood the situation, I know what had to be done....So I did and I am proud of myself! Every single box she sent was scrutinized, categorized and sent back to be stored again.....the same way it came!! People, I couldn't let go of most of the items!! Hockey cards, projects of my kids when they were babies, music books, comic books.....I now realize that I'm a hoarder!! Every single object had a value to me, be it sentimental or "monetary".  I couldn't let go!! Now I have 2 more boxes to go through when she comes back from walking the dog, I promise to be more efficient in letting go of things I don't really see but it's reassuring ton know they are there...when I remember them...

Later folks!

Saturday's folies

Hello!

Happy weekend folks....

You know all these days have been ferociously cold but sunny; and today? Freaking cold but no sun! Looks like a real winter gloomy day. So what's on the agenda? well, home bound sounds good, I still have to take a picture for my medicare card and I'll have to rush it because it expires next month! I think tomorrow or even perhaps today I will go to the supermarket to purchase ingredients for my  weekend wrap project...it's an idea I got from a recipe I saw on General Mills; Chicken wraps with avocados, salad, red onions and blue cheese dressing...or...my choice...Ranch baby...


Take care folks!

PS...Olivia is about to chew on some beef's penis...TRUE! the dog store where we purchase our stuff for her has this as a dog chew item....it's from Brazil so it must be Brazilian beef...so much for the wraps!

Miz the package

Hello!

Well, they are here! My wife and daughters were exited...I cannot lie, I was too! The boots are cool, I'm still pissed with Canada Post, I think they are morons and crooks but the boots reached their destination and that's what counts..My daughters and wife tried the boots and a feeling of jealousy filled my soul cause I wanted to try the boots but was not able too...I'm a size 12 and the boots are a size 10.....bummer, I guess I'll have to fantasize myself with the boots.....

Take care folks!

PS I love the box!!

Canada post fiasco

Hello!

I AM FUMING MAD!!!!!

Another satisfied customer....NOT!

You all know that I am home bound 24/7, a fly farts in my house and I know about it...So I was expecting the boots today and I log into Canada post to find out about it.....it said that I refused the parcel and it was being sent back to sender....!!!!!!!...I am HERE!!!! I called Canada post they tell me there's nothing they can do, I refused it. (!!!!!!!) What fucking planet are you from that you are not hearing me!!!! I'm in a wheelchair and nofucking body has rang my bell!!! The lady told me that I could try and stop the sending back if I go to my local office and tell them my story...off rushes my wife to the post office!

When she got there the officer...scratch that...the dumb sales clerk didn't know what was up or down, he was clueless! I spent 10 minutes on the phone with him and he told me he was a simple stamp salesman, he didn't know what happened with US  mail if it was refused.....I WAS HERE ALL THE FREAKING TIME!!!! Canada post never came to my house!!!! I asked the name of his supervisor and guess whar??? Stupid boots appeared out of nowhere...the tracking number that didn't work before was somehow working now!!! I honestly think they wanted to keep the boots....apparently Miz Mooz boots  are a hot item....

What did I learn from this?? I'm paying extra money next time for a courrier...Canada Post? No Thanks, it's not for me...ever!!!

Good weekend folks!

PS... The girl who was talking with me at the beginning was clueless....na...just just forget about it...It was a horrible experience that will never happen again!

Cornucopia of Katy Perry

Hello!

Good morning /afternoon/whatever/wherever you are…

So what’s with the title?  Let me explain this…

You know how people try to retain a dream when they wake up?  Well this morning I was trying to erase the dream I had.  Ms. Perry was part of my dreams but she didn’t participate in them, instead for some awkward reason her song “The one that got away” was playing incessantly in the background.  I know what you’re going to say: “you let her go way”.  Nope!  I have never let her go away, I just blocked…!!!....  And why the F are we talking about her, let’s concentrate on the dream!!!

OK, so the background music was from Katy Perry and I had gotten divorced from my wife…  And I was in freaking China!  Wait!  Hear me out here…  I was an archaeologist that was working on a dig, it was an ancient church that my team had discovered and we were examining it.  OK, so “the one that got away” was playing on background, I was digging an old church in China and out of the blue comes Deng Xiaoping!  (I swear this was weird)…  So Deng was visiting the village where I had found the church and he said hello to me in plain English, I answered back and then he began to talk bad about me in Chinese.  Mother Fer…  I could understand everything!....  And all I could say was cornucopia!  Cornucopia this, cornucopia that, cornucopia cornucopia cornucopia!!  And all of this while freaking Katy Perry kept on playing on the background!  I woke up and the freaking song kept on going in my head, not to mention images of Deng Xiaoping and the word cornucopia…..  WTF!  The only difference is that last night instead of having something sweet with coffee, I had a toasted bread with a slice of ham and coffee…  I swear it was one of those nights…brrrr….  Here’s hoping I have a better one tonight!

Take care folks!

PS...For those who are unfamiliar with the word  cornucopia, it means abundance. ...maybe I should play the lottery....

On a Thursday afternoon...

Hello!

Well Canadian customs agency has released the parcel that I was waiting for, it is now in the hands of Canada Post.  I believe the package should get here either today, tomorrow or next week…  Who the hell knows!  All I know is that my wife will be taller by the end of next week…  As a practical joke I’m going to hide the package when it comes and don’t give it to my wife until she comes back from Mexico…  Ooops!  The cat is out of the bag, my wife will be traveling to Acapulco to meet her new baby nephew…  She will only be gone for about five days, coming back to her house duties.

What have I been up to?  Well, after having my bath and eating my meals on wheels, I have done a bit of genealogy stuff…  You know, divorces here and there…  Stories of the family that I have written down and analyzing dates and stuff, boring to most of you but to me it is…  Awesome!

I think that’s the last you will hear from me today as I am probably going to take a nap before the kids come home…

Take care folks!

The grandfather story

Hello!

Weekend is almost hear people, hang in there…

I think that I must take drastic measures within the following year, month, week, day…  Nay!  Within the following seconds!  Do I really look that old?!  I don’t think so either but apparently I’m a decrepit old man!  Now I have told you stories about other tenants in the building asking my wife about her dad and what the F was wrong with me.  My wife has told them time and time again that I am her husband and not her dad.  We can live with that, but what I cannot live with is the fact that I am actually recognized as the grandfather of my daughters!!  Here’s the story as told to me by my oldest daughter…

I plan to look like him

Yesterday my daughter told us that her science teacher called her over to speak with her.  He told her that he had seen her at the supermarket with the guy in a wheelchair; I don’t mind being called the guy in a wheelchair people, I kinda I like it.  But the story doesn’t end there, having an inquisitive mind, after all he is a science teacher, he asked her what was my story.  The guy’s question was actually “how old was her grandfather?”...!!!...  Really?!  I look that old?!  But here’s the kicker, the guy is actually 48 years old and I am 43!  What gives science dude?!  I personally think I look OK for my age, the only drawback is that I am in a wheelchair; other than that I’m OK.  It’s true I have a white beard and about 70% of my hair has fallen off but to be branded as a grandfather is totally ridiculous!  Ludicrous!  Preposterous!  So yesterday night I asked my wife to trim the beard and the mustache and this weekend I will make it a point to go and buy some “Just for men” products so that I can look my age…  I am shocked people, completely out of words…

Take care folks!

Day is done

Hello!

Well it was a productive genealogic afternoon…  Got a couple of dates of my great-grand aunt and did some digging left and right.  On Friday I’m supposed to call back my contact in my country to see if she found something regarding my grandmother…  Crossing my fingers here people!

Got a bit of an altercation with my oldest daughter yesterday, her school is having a snow activity day and we suggested to her that she goes and learns how to ski.  Well her friends are not doing that, so miss “I follow the crowd” wanted to do what her friends wanted.  We told her that it would be cool if she learned how to ski better so she can teach her kids how to do this sport in the future and they don’t end up being couch potatoes…  I think we won…

Well that’s it for me, take care folks!

Das boots

Hello!

So this weekend might be a busy one for me.  You see, there is a company that’s coming over to Brossard to purchase old hockey cards as well as miscellaneous items.  Guess who has old hockey cards?  Me!  Yep, I got some old hockey cards and some comic books (800+) that maybe I would like to go over and see what they give me for it.  I got a couple of rookie cards and some other one’s that are mighty interesting.  Now I did promise them to my little girl but I don’t know if she remembers this so I’m gambling here…

The other thing is, and I hope they get here soon, I’m expecting a mail delivery from the State’s.  I purchased some fancy mamcy boots for my wife.  According to the tracking number they have arrived in Canada but are being inspected by customs Canada to make sure they’re kosher.  They arrived here on Sunday people, they have been stuck in a custom’s closet all this time so I finally called Canada Post which told me that custom was just trying to make sure that the parcel was in accordance to Canada’ laws…  It’s A freaking pair of boots!  I bought them in New York and had been shipped over to Canada, New York is a stone’s throw away!  Why is it taking so long?!  Well the post officer told me that the boots were probably going to be released by Friday and then they were going to be delivered to me by next week.  Sucks to be my wife people!  She has her heart set on them, why?  Who the F knows!  She’s all thrilled that she’s going to be a couple of inches taller than what she’s now, she’s freaking 5 feet 11!  She’s finally going to reach the 6 foot mark…  Still short, I’m 6 foot 2, in a wheelchair granted but still 6 foot 2!

They care homies!


PS... My mother claims that the kids in the picture are my brother and I, my cousin and brother claim that is my cousins A.K.A the pupes...I'm just sure that is our grandmother...then again, it sure looks like my grand aunt....

Bloodline mistakes

Hello!

Good hump day people…

They say that the memory is the first thing to go as you grow old, boy is it true…  I started this but I may have to stop because of my bath…  They’re it is, I have to stop!  See you next paragraph in about 20 minutes…

Where was I?  Yes, the memory!  Do you remember yesterday I briefly mentioned a picture of my grandmother and two kids whom I was 100% sure that it was my older brother and I.  Well one of my readers, who also happens to be my cousin, called me and told me that those were her brothers.  Really I asked.  She was 100% sure herself that it was her brothers, I told her that my mother was going to look at the picture and tell me who these kids were and I was going to let her know.  I also told her that I was investigating her bloodline because recent data and that I discovered points to her not being double concentrated as we thought she was.  Let me elaborate on that…

My great-grandfather left my great-grandmother so that he could start another family, the universe likes to play jokes on people and her bloodline was not safe from this.  In time my great-grandfather had a daughter with this other lady who is the grandmother of my cousin; my cousin’s mom (my great's grand daughter) got married with my uncle who is also related to her grandmother…  Look it’s really complicated, but we always thought that she was double crazy because her great-grandfather is the grandfather of my uncle and the dad of his aunt…  This is nuts, the more I think about it the more I don’t get it!  But I do know that my great-grandfather had another daughter with this lady and one day after, he croaked! So was this his kid? and what about the grand mother of my cousin? DNA you say? Nope, it's not going to work, she's related no matter what!

 Once I get to the bottom of this I will let her know if she is 200% Aviles or only 100%…

Take care people!

Surviving Tuesday

Hello!

Good something people…

Don’t worry, I’m still here…  Just that some days the universe likes to play jokes on me.  One of them was today, I am use of getting my bath Tuesday and Wednesday anywhere between 8:30 AM and 10:30 AM.  Well, it didn’t happen!  The lady that gives me my bath showed  up until 12:20 PM.  She explained to me that she was late because she was working with the guy that used to give me my bath eons ago and he was sidelined because of back injuries…  Now he’s coming back slowly and she’s the one evaluating his return…  But that’s not all I’m going to post about today, there’s also meals on wheels!

So today was also Tuesday and therefore I was expecting to get my meals on wheels.  In general they have really good food, but today something must have gone haywire because the food was uneatable.  Come to the rescue?  Ketchup and saltine crackers!  You know how kids like to put Ketchup on everything?  And how it is more Ketchup than food?  Well old Chuck here had the brilliant idea of drowning the food in Ketchup and eating saltines…  It works!  The uneatable food became tolerable once I spiced it up with the miracle sauce…  I just hope my stomach can take it…

Take care folks!

PS…  My cousin put a picture of my grandmother holding two kids, I am almost 100% sure that those kids are my older brother and I…

Circa a freaking long time ago

Weather alert

Hello!

Well…  The weather seems to be cooperating so far, but it’s not gonna last!  Environment Canada has issue a weather alert.  It seems we’re going to be getting about 20 cm of snow again, like if last 20 cm wasn’t enough.  Just when I thought it was going to be a good week for me to go out and snap a picture so that I may renew my medicare card, well it ain’t going to happen…  I am grounded!

You know?  This is one of those benefits that I wish Canada didn’t have.  I mean, it’s nice for Christmas, it adds  magical touch to the season, but I think that once we hit middle of January we should not have any more white stuff.  Seriously?!  Snow?!  Again!?  I don’t know people, that would mean 40 cm in the space of a eight days?!  I don’t like this; I don’t like this at all…

I have to get in touch with electromagnetic guru guy, I need to know what’s the web site where I can check my numbers and see if I’m sitting on a lottery ticket worth five million dollars.  I don’t think I would tell my wife about it, I would just stroll casually out of the house and into a new Mercedes adapted truck…Aaaah to dream!

Take care folks!

Monday laments....

Hello!

Well another freaking day when the temperature is hovering at around -20° C, that’s about -14F…  Freaking, freaking cold!  The snow removal machine is clearing up the parking lot and we were advised by the city to adhere to the parking laws so that snow removal could continue without a problem.  We received about 20 cm of snow, once again that’s about 10 inches…  It has been a very mild winter so far.

Now why in heaven’s name did I put a French Post yesterday night?  Well, it was close to 1:00 AM and I was going over to songs that mean something to me, in whatever language; this is one of my all favorite songs…  I learn the song back when I was in fourth grade I think, I haven’t forgotten it yet.  To be honest I think I was in love with somebody but that somebody was leaving school the following year.  The story of my life people, the story of my life…

I’ll catch you later, I have a bath to attend to…

A French song...

À la claire fontaine
M’en allant promener
J’ai trouvé l’eau si claire
Que je m’y suis baigné

Il y a longtemps que je t’aime,
Jamais je ne t’oublierai.
   
Sous les feuilles d’un chêne,
Je me suis fait sécher.
Sur la plus haute branche,
Le rossignol chantait.

Il y a longtemps que je t’aime,
Jamais je ne t’oublierai.

Chante, rossignol, chante,
Toi qui as le cœur gai.
Tu as le cœur à rire…
Moi je l’ai à pleurer.

Il y a longtemps que je t’aime,
Jamais je ne t’oublierai.
...
J'ai perdu mon amie
Sans l'avoir mérité.
Pour un bouquet de roses
Que je lui refusai…

Il y a longtemps que je t’aime,
Jamais je ne t’oublierai.

Je voudrais que la rose
Fût encore au rosier,
Et que ma douce amie
Fût encore à m'aimer.

Il y a longtemps que je t’aime,
Jamais je ne t’oublierai..

Baby it's cold outside...

Hello!

Happy weekend everybody…

It was a movie weekend and instant kimchi!  To movies I saw today are not very popular but it was enough to pass the morning.  One movie was a French one called “Des hommes et des Dieux” and the other one was called “Violet America”.  The first one was about a group of priests leaving somewhere in a monastery in the eastern countries and they get kidnapped in exchange for prisoners in France, the other film it’s about a corrupted/racist judicial system in the state of Texas…  Don’t mess with Texas you all!

Now I am enjoying my time here alone because my girls are out and the weather outside is just not very friendly…  I’m talking temperature wise, we are currently hovering at -16° C…  I wouldn’t go out there even if they paid me for it.

Well that’s it…  I’ll see you in another post!

Digging for truths

Hello!

Well, I’ve made contact with people that could provide me with the answers to the questions I have regarding my genealogy tree…  And I’m keeping my hopes up.  I gave this person that data for my grandmother and she told me that she would have an answer for me by next Friday.  I told her all the data and then some, including that she was (my grandmother) married with somebody from City Hall and that she worked at a college.  The lady was very nice, she provided me with her ear so I could tell her stories that my mother had told me about her(my grandmother).  She didn't promise anything but she sounded like somebody that understood what I was looking for, who I was looking for.  So at this point it’s awaiting game…  Funny, I am not used being called Don Carlos, it was a flashback talking to this person with a whole set of different costumes and mannerisms…

Well the week ended on a high note for me, have yourselves a great weekend people!

PS…  I know that is not black or white, but I would like to have some sort of proof that something exists…

Looking for a response

Hello!

Well well well…  I think I will make some big advancement on my genealogy tree in the following weeks.  I was given a phone number in my country where I can call and find out more about relatives that were born eons ago, hopefully that person can provide me with information that I so much desire.  Imagine that, I’ll be able to find out the dates of births of my great-grandparents, my great great-grandparents and perhaps get additional information about their whereabouts, who their parents were and god forbid, if we have any Spanish blood as told by our parents.

It seems the freaking freezing rain is slowly but surely turning into snow.  So all in all we should have about 20 cm of white stuff that dropped on us since yesterday.  Canada, love it or leave it!

Take care folks!

People are falling everywhere..

Hello!

Sunny days to you people…  That is, if you like sunny days…

I was watching the rain fall down, the freaking freezing rain; I was seeing the people coming out of the building, treading slowly as not to fall and make a fool of themselves when suddenly it happened: somebody fell and it wasn’t pretty, I’d give the fall a 5.5.  She got up dust herself off, turned her head left, turned her head right and kept on going.

Yes, it was the first fall I see this year and I have seen better but seeing the winter that we’ve been having, it was an OK fall.  But why is it that every time someone falls the first thing we do after getting up and cleaning ourselves off, is to look out and see if anybody was watching?  Do they think that someone’s going to be watching them laughing at them?  That somebody is actually rooting for them to fall?  Well, there on to something!  I was deliberately looking outside and watching people go out the door, seeing them walk slowly and actually hoping for a miracle; a comical miracle!  Yes yes, I wanted someone to fall so I could chuckle a bit, obviously I had the phone in case I needed to call 911, but the fall this lady did was harmless.  Nevertheless it’s a passion of mine, I enjoy watching people fall since I was a kid, I remember the first time I saw somebody fall their ass off -at the beach-, I laughed so hard I gave my position away…  People learn from their mistakes, now I see somebody fall in the quiet of myself…  God I hate freezing rain…

Oh, I failed to mention that I don’t like the lady that fell anyway so it’s OK for me to laugh a little…

Take care folks!


PS...and I ask why the universe has it against me...

That white stuff looks like s#!

Hello!

WTF MAN!! Was that supposed to fall on us?! It’s a blanket of snow out there! And tomorrow? Freaking  freezing rain in the morning and another 5cm of white shit in the afternoon! Thank you very much mother freaking nature…..In all honestly I was expecting 15cm over 3 days but it appears that we’re getting dump on all in one shot!! Seriously?! What a cluster fuck as an American ex-colleague would say. Let see if they close schools tomorrow….Xmas is over, you can stop the snow now! Sometimes I think that I’m alone against the universe….

Take care compadres!

Visa

Hello!

Well China is getting to be closer and closer for my girl. The teacher in charge of this called me to let me know the next step on this one in a life time trip; the visas. Apparently I have to send her papers at the beginning of next moth so that the Chinese government can issue a 3 month visa for her group. Once this step is done it will be just a waiting period of a couple of weeks and she will be off!

Lucky dog…

School stories

Hello!

Good something people…

Well my doubts about school were proven this morning; it is full of bitter people who have nothing better to do than to bitch.  Here’s my ranting:

This morning my youngest one decided to walk to the bus stop on by herself and take the school bus.  I trust her completely, who I’d don’t trust is the bad people out there.  Nevertheless she took off. A tad later, my wife went out with the dog and thought that she was still going to see our daughter at the bus stop; she wasn’t there!  Well, being the mother that she is she started wondering if our daughter was OK.  She felt uneasy about the whole situation….  Nurse break…

OK…  Back to my school story…

Being a good husband that I am, I decided to call school and verify if my daughter was there.  Well the secretary that answer the phone was not happy.  She told me that she had over 600 students at her school and that if she had to look out for every single one of them her job would never finish.  I almost, almost, yelled at her but reason prevailed and I told her that the other kids were irrelevant to me and that if she wanted to confirm with the teacher it was fine with me, but if she didn’t and something actually happened to my girl she would be hearing from me and my lawyers…  I guess the key word here was lawyers because she told me to hold on a second while she page my kid's class.  Well what do you know, the kid can take the bus on her own…

And that was my morning, take care folks!


PS..  This is a school for special needs students, if a parent calls to make sure his/her kid is safe at school they shouldn't be answered by moronic secretaries...my two cents...

The medical visit

Hello!

Good something to you people…

Sorry about the delay I was at a meeting with some medical guy, I know yet another one.

It was an OK meeting but I think what really accentuated the day was that I ripped the main entrance; really!  The bus drop me off and I pushed the button to open the automatic door, stepped into the cubicle and when I’m about to cross the other door my wheelchair touched the side of the door and I ripped part of the door frame…  Major embarrassment!  There was a psychologist there that immediately said that the frame wasn’t even properly installed, that the constructor didn’t use any screws to put the frame together…  She was saying everything to make me feel good, bless her heart…  It didn’t work, I was dramatized during the whole medical session.  That was my meeting and now I’m sure I am known as the guy who cannot drive his wheelchair…

This morning I talked to my cousin and she’s looking for a software that is going to transfer recording data into written data.  I do believe that the place where I worked before has something that might help her win it, I just have to go to their web site now and find out what is the software that she needs.…  And my ass is killing me right now, maybe the cushion needs some air…

Take care folks!

It's was one of those weekends

Hello!

Good day folks, hope you are having a wonderful day…

Well the girls went back to school today and I don’t know if they were happy or not…  All I know is that we started to get them ready for today as of Saturday afternoon when the Christmas things started to come down.  My little daughter and wife started taking down the three followed by all the Christmas dolls around the house and finally the bells wrapped around the doorknob.  

Little R

The following day was the tamales Sunday where little J’s mom decided to have a baby.  Well, we had the tamales and she had her baby!  I think they want to call him little R, so little J is now a big brother and hopefully little R will survive all of little J’s tantrums.  Congratulations little J’s mom and electromagnetic dude, little R is the spitting image of little J.

So as you can see my weekend was a bit party hardy, eating tamales and participating in the breath in/breath out routine that was administered to electromagnetic’s wife.

That’s it for right now, take care people!

I'm too old for this

Seriously?! This freaking early?! I really hate school!

I got up to the alarm of my wife and now I am hearing the shower....why the beep do I have to be up?!? I did all this already!! This is the type of shit they don't tell you when you're a kid.....

I really don't like school days

Normality returns

Hello!

Well this is the week where most of us, most of you, go back to work.  My girls are going back to school tomorrow and my wife will be out of the city working, life goes back to normal.  This week I have nothing much plan except for a meeting I have to attend on Wednesday and after that my week is complete.  Sigh…  I miss being busy!

On my health front, I started to develop little red dots and my back due to the duration of time that I spent sitting down on the stupid chair.  Solution?  Well the CMR will be creating a special cushion for me made of air…  I’m getting modifications to the stupid chair left and right, now they put some new feet rests that can be moved so that I might be able to exercise my feet.  I think that once I finished blogging this I will ask my daughter to empty my drawers so that I may find my speech recognition CD.

Other than that I’m about to have lunch and contemplate my afternoon…

Take care folks!

Something funny happened while eating tamales

Hello!

Good Sunday afternoon….

Well like my FB status stated I am/was having a tamales’ Sunday and hot chocolate called champurrado with my family when out of the blue little J’s mom decides she’s going to have a baby!

-          “NO FREAKING WAY!?”

Way!! She’s due next week but nobody told the baby this cause he’s coming out today/tomorrow! Guess who’s taking care of little J?? That’s right my wife and in-law will be taking care of him’! Well I guess eating tamales is bad for you….

That’s my weekend folks….

PS.. And the doctor said that nothing was bound to happen this weekend....

Blood racism

Hello!

Hope you are all doing great...

So I went to the shopping mall yesterday, yes believe it or not it is a mild winter that it is worrying certain members of my family because it could be signs of the end of the world...I think that psycho-therapy would do them well....back to my story...I went to the mall and they had a blood collection....cool! I always wanted to give blood, you know help others that might need it?! Well like a guy who has his hope up when asking a girl if she wants to be his girlfriend, I was shut down by the blood folks!!! Yeah! These people told me that it was really swell of my part of wanting to give blood but since I had MS they wouldn't touch me with a 10" feet pole.

wow, I felt like everyone and their mother was looking down on me; like if I really was a downtrodden loser who wouldn't get the time of day from a priest. Even in need these people are selective!? Come on people MS is not contagious!? It is not hereditary! So why dizz me? I'm a good looking guy?! I got good hygiene...I'm the type of guy your mothers would want their daughters to go out with!? So why are you alienating me like the plague?!

After asking myself all these questions I promise myself that I will never seek out to help anybody out there. This was another resolution I had made for this year and I was once again shut down!

So much for being a better man....

The Aquarius zone

Hiya folks!

Another weekend closer to Summer! But first we have to go trough the Aquarius zone!! I blogged about this years ago in a post named "Can you spare a dime".

Let me explain what this season is all about in my family: It's basically is a time where 5 members of my family have thir birthdays, including myself, days apart. It is pretty draining on the wallet. First you got one of my sisters in law, followed by one nephew, then it's me, then one brother and we round the season with another sister in law....and you know what?? You got that stupid guy Valentine on the 14!!

So as you can see my wallet will be pretty busy in the following weeks and I will be a year older, hitting that mythical 30 I wad waiting for....

Have a great weekend

Visiting my future

Wow, I am poop! I went to the CMR and came back at 4PM. it all had to do with the crappy weather we had today. And let it be known that I am blogging from my iPod, I am dead...really dad!

I don't like going to the CMR, every time I go there it's like looking in the future and it's not pretty. Plus I am reminded of things I don't feel like blogging about...

Well I am here and I'm alive "...but barely breathing"

Thursday shopping

Hello e-world, how's life?

I got a CMR visit on Friday to modify my chair again, I am getting my feet rest modified so that I may touch the floor. At the current time my feet rest on a tablet and do not touch the floor; I told the people I wanted to start exercising my legs.

So what did I do on Thursday? Well I went out to do some grocery shopping as the weather permitted me to stroll to the supermarket. I also went through some images of FB and one of them got me thinking about life, but I will touch this subject mañana as I grow tired tonight....

Godspeed people, Godspeed.

Sleeping with the enemy

Hello folks!  

What a morning  today, it seemed that I owe money to everybody and their mother, they were calling and mailing me out of the blue; and I didn’t know why!!  First of all I got a letter from my new BFF, Videotron-TV, Internet, telephone, telling me that I owe them over $700 dollars!  WTF?!  It’s the first freaking bill I got from you guys, how could I owe you so much?!  Well apparently there was a bill that was sent previous to this one and I hadn’t paid it.  WTF x 2?!  On my daughter’s head that I never received it, so why are you harassing me?!……  Suddenly I feel a tap on my shoulders, apparently that bill had come to me but it was filed under “to be given” in my car, the one that I never drive, the one that only my wife has access to, the one where bills shouldn’t be left there!  Obviously I didn’t tell this to the guy, I’d made it sound like if it was their fault knowingly full well that the culprit was none other than my mother in law…  Well, this is how I see it…

Later on Bell called me to let me know that there was still an outstanding balance in my account and that they were going to disconnect the services if I didn’t pay. Fuck me!  Obviously they haven’t gotten the memo that I am no longer a customer of theirs and that they can disconnect my services whenever they want…

That has been my day so far, I hope your is even better than mine!


PS...I just got confirmation that the bill was in the car.....
