Year end post 2014

Hello…

Good day all, last Tuesday of 2014 people; make it count!

31/12/24

… I making it count by bundling properly and heading out to buy some groceries: bread, ham, milk, something sweet for coffee, the usual stuff. I got to bundle up real well since apparently it’s a freezer out there; freaking cold. I’m doing a two day approach to my blog today, which is really tomorrow when I will post this.

Today, I got a new night table which is not working properly; caused my bath lady to drop a bucket, yes bucket, of water on the floor. Thank God one of my kids was here to provide her with the essentials to dry up the water… walking dead time, sorry.


31/12/2014

Love all, specially you

So yeah, tuff luck on you guys yesterday. I mean, I played my Walking Dead game and then I find out that AMC is having a Walking Dead marathon! So I was seeing “The walking dead” all day long. I didn’t have much energy to blog. The only thing I did extra was that I had to register my oldest in the car insurance because she is now packing; a learner’s driving license. It is going to cost an additional 260 smackers; and this because she’s a girl, if she was a boy it would be $700+. Apparently boys are dumber when it comes to driving; I can certainly vouch for that.

Any hoot, I will take a moment to wish you all the best for 2015. May next year be filled with joy, health, money and inner peace. May whatever you believe in bless you with happiness, a model for a boyfriend/girlfriend and a kickass transportation device. 

And like me, try not to give a fuck too much….

Nice to see you

Helloo……..

Good day all…

So, (for the Christians and aficionados of the Holidays) Merry Christmas again! Hope that Santa brought you what you wanted. I got my share of goodies this year, I got $100CAD and a CK wallet and manurse…. Purse for a man… It’s a disable thing; I will take a picture of me wearing my manurse around my neck one day so you see how metrosexual I look. But the one that really hit it big this year was my oldest. Let me rephrase that, we hit it big because of the present she got: The Walking Dead game!!!

Let me put it this way, we cocooned ourselves this weekend and made her play, not one season but the two available seasons!! Ever since ****Spoiler alert to you Apple TV users**** Beth died and we have to wait until February 8^th (what a birthday present!!) we are dying here! I even went to the game’s site to find out if there is a new season coming out for the game. I like the game because it works on the decision you make; so if you want to be an asshole you will have one ending than if you wish to be nice. I LOVE THE GAME!! Plus we ha fried Oreo cookies for lunch, so no need to go outside. 

I’m just reporting myself to you to reassure you I’m still here, sooooo deal with it..

Take care folks..

RIP Jimmy

Hello…..

Arhg!!!!  

It was a basic marinating job people! The instructions called for a 20 minute prep time, 20 minutes! Heat the jam, the hoisin sauce, the soya sauce, blend until smooth and baste the freaking bird! It was supposed to be that simple, that’s it nothing more!! Instead it took 2 hours of “Yucking” and not wanting to take out the bag of giblets away because it wasn’t a “normal” thing to kill a turkey and prepare it for food….. I told the stupid kid that if she went to Africa, in the wild, lions tigers and all of that wild fauna wouldn’t hesitate to kill her and eat her; so preparing and eating Jimmy (because she gave it a name) was our way to get even for all of those death by wild life.

Merry Christmas people…

Celebration time....

Hellooo…

Happy days to you all….

Almendrado

So here’s the menu that we’re planning for tomorrow’s get together. First of all 2 of my brothers will be here with their families to spend time with my mother and join us for a feast afterwards. So the menu consist of Almendrado, turkey made in a plum sauce (maybe), a Tiramisu cake, colds cuts…pop, sangria and the piece of resistance: fried Oreo cookies…I do believe I have Alka-Seltzer just in case….

Yes we were crazy

It’s funny how time changes as you get older. There was a time when our parties were wild and eccentric, now itt's more of a dinner and a look at the watch wanting twelve to come by quickly so you can leave. I remember one of our Halloween parties were we created giant papier-mâché figures so it would had ambiance to the hangar, yes a hanger, where the party was being held. Next day we had to get up and destroy everything because the morning shift was coming in to work the following day… or the time for Christmas where friends from Mexico came over to celebrate Christmas with us. There was so much booze that night it’s not even funny. One of our friends even went out in the cold to dance and take off his shirt….. How the hell I’m still around to tell you about this era is a miracle…..

Any hoot, here is hopping for a great feast…

Tis the seson to be jolly....

Hellooooo…

Good day y’all, nice to see you!

So today is the last shopping weekend before that festive, consumer oriented day we call Christma$. Don’t get me wrong, I love buying stuff; anything. As I said it before, I got a problem with buying stuff; I still dream of the day I will win the lottery and go on an endless shopping spree where I will buy anything and everything. It is a medical condition, ‘our days everything is a "medical condition". I saw a Mexican report this week where they explain the euphoria some people get from purchasing stuff; and apparently the women have a bigger disposition to be shopping “whores”… don’t hate the playa, hate the game… So according to this Mexican report, I am pretty well in touch with my feminine side seeing that there isn't a day that I don’t brave the elements to go out and buy something. Today is especially hard for me seeing that there is some sun out there, it is apparently going to be the biggest shopping day of the year –bigger than black Friday and cyber Monday - but I can’t go out there because the roads are crappy! 

At least that’s what my family tells me; I think they’re on to me and are making up stories…..

Any hoot, hope your day is full of fun….

On a Friday such as this...

Hello…

Glad to see you made it to the end of the week…… and what’s with the French?!

This week the stats from that country have gone through the roof for some reason or other…I like that! I have always loved France, makes me reminisce the past….sigh…

So, besides my lunacies are you ready for Christmas? I am! Mind you, “I am” is a correct statement since I am ready but my home, thus my wife isn’t. She still has to get the Christmas decorations going and even though my kids have their presents already, she wants to buy them some more. She claims that a Christmas tree without presents is a sad thing to see. Bullocks I say to that! They got their toys; they’re happy, let them be. Concentrate on the menu for that night, what are we going to eat; knowing her she will wing it and come up on top. Also, the most important thing, my present! What about me, what am I getting?! Always the last one on the list, brrrr, I swear I have to get another wife or a robot….

Any hoot, happy preparations Christian folks…..

PS You know why I love France? 

"...La Bohème, la Bohème, Ca voulait dire, on est heureux, La Bohème, la Bohème, Nous ne mangions, Qu'un jour sur deux..."

PS That's why I love France; that and stinky cheese. It's an acquired taste...

Somebody get him laid please...

Hello…

What the hell was wrong with that little bitch today?!

I’m talking about my bath guy here.

The guy came all depressed, gloomy fucking vibe, bitching about this and that; talking in a soft tone and when asked “what did you say?” he would just stay quiet or simply replied that he did not say anything. I swear I really want to call his boss so I can have someone new that is more positive and listens to what I say. This guy today had the cojones to tell me that when I think I’m helping him I am not; that it is all in my head. I told him that it was odd, that the other bath persons appreciated the fact that I could still turned my body so they could properly put my pants on.  AND THEN, he gets all mad because I tell him that I am seating all crocked on the chair, he did not want to lift me because, once again, it was all in my head and not the fact that I was seating crooked. Well fucking Merry Christmas to you too asshole…

What a mormon….(he probably is)

PS Obviously I smiled throughout the whole thing and did wish him a Merry Christmas to him and his kids, but inside I was telling him off like I usually do….

Girls Girls Girls...

Hello!

Greetings to you kind folks!

Well maybe it’s time for me to come clean about my mistresses to my other half. They started to call me on my home number now and I feel the heat. I admit, going rogue with them was a pleasure but it was a one shot deal that didn’t have to go farther than that moment. Now is all “This is Amy and I like to award you with a free trip to the Bahamas…” I know what she means by that: “Leave your wife and come with me somewhere nice…” Well Amy, as I said countless times to you “NO!” I will not leave my family for you or Esther! The Marriot bitch who wants me to go with her anywhere in the world where there’s a Marriot resort. As I mentioned to you both, I like it where I am and I am not going anywhere with you guys; so please let me be. You’re almost as annoying as my relatives from Mexico who kept calling for money….Miguel, Tomas, sorry you guys went to jail for my inability to send you money….

Any hoot, them girls better stop calling…

Take care folks

I will survive this life and the next...

Hellooo…

Good day all…

It is 1:45 PM and… I haven’t had lunch yet. I was on the carpet drying my wheels because I ventured outside. Bad move, very very bad move. I got stuck twice outside because it’s a mixture of snow and water (slush) and my freaking chair is not a car or tank or legs… So I was drying off philosophizing about how life doesn’t want me here. Really, I been on survivor mode since the womb of my lovely mother. Here’s the scoop….

My mother always claimed that while pregnant with me she was on a strict diet of champagne and “pancita”… tripe soup, yum… I hate that shit. Anyways, what mother in her right mind doesn't stop drinking alcohol while pregnant? Then, at the tender age of 8 days old, my silly brother decides to feed me a turtle egg! It was the sixties folks, nothing green happening in those days except pot. I survived that gastronomical adventure too only to be stranded in Mexico with my nana on an errand to a pharmacy; some dude on a bike found us. I came to Canada just to be diagnosed with MS, given a wheelchair that has broken so many times, it’s not even funny. I’ve got an appointment early next year already; I probably should get a customer of the year award or something. I have fallen, gotten stuck in the snow, gotten stuck in a tilting position.. You name it and it probably has happened to me. So, I do believe that the Universe in all its wisdom is telling me to “die bitch die!” but then again, it has its moments of lending a helping hand, I just got to look for it….

Any hoot….

Lots of luv people…

PS just as I finished typing I got a call from the Marriot hotels informing me that I just won a seven day stay at wherever they have hotels all I had to do was press the number 1… The Universe laughing at me yet again....

Must resists temptation

Hello!

Good Saturday to you all…

So a crappy couple of days here, I haven’t ventured off since the snow began and I am dying here folks. When there is snow people like me, in a wheelchair, very rarely go out. I’m pretty sure that my tires would spin around in an icy patch, and I want to go out and buy something, anything! Christmas presents are no longer an issue since my nieces and nephews are all grown up so cash it is, my daughters got their presents 3 weeks ago so nothing really to buy, but I need to buy. The only present I need to buy is the one of my wife and I don’t know what I’ll get her…

Any hoot, happy weekend….

Olympus has fallen indeed...

Hello!

Good day to you all..

My diabetic nurse came today to change my wound dressings and talk about changing my night insulin for one that lasts 24 hours instead of 8, suddenly I heard a sound I haven’t heard in a while: “Beep Beep…Beep Beep…”…  “?? Is that a pager?!?” I asked all surprised. She confirmed it was and then started telling me why she had one; why all the nurses carried one now at the CLSC (local clinic). Wow, the new government is really cutting back on everything related to health now; they want to reach a balanced budget and are doing drastic cut backs on anything that they can. I told her that I thought that the pager technology was dead just like the dinosaurs, apparently it’s still pretty much alive; if you want to save some money. Apparently it costs $5 a month to rent one instead of the $30 for basic cell phone line. I told her it was good that the government was cutting back, it would benefit u all at the end…I guess…. She concurred but wasn’t too thrilled with the technology, mainly because she didn’t know how to use it properly; I had to give her some tips.

I feel like I just got a second wind with the appearance of such antiquated devices….

Take care folks…

PS It’s not only pagers, vinyl record players are being sold everywhere now AND, Christmas sweaters are making a comeback too…. I feel like the Studebaker is coming home soon…I'll be dam, it has!

Target acquired...

Hello!

Greetings all…

Well winter is well under way and with this comes the winterized outings that I sometimes takes; like today.

Nature's calling...

My wife came in with Olivia from the dog park saying “it’s beautiful”, I jumped on that baby and told her to suit me up so that I could go out there and enjoy the weather; she did. You know what folks, I have come to the conclusion that I am sick (DUH, I know but read on), I mean besides my MS I believe I suffer from compulsive buyer syndrome. There isn’t one day that I don’t go to the super market or my favorite place for now, Target. I just have to go out and buy shit, any shit any color. Today was no exception, I did enjoy the weather while rolling to Target, but once there I started to roll down isle by isle just seeing shit that I could potentially buy. I had to control myself not to spend on any gadget that I saw.

Nothing's stopping me...

A pan, a set of knives, a paper shredder…they were all calling my name: “Guy on the wheelchair, pick me, take me home…you know you want to…” I had to buys something or I was going to have a catatonic break down….argh! At the end I went for what I needed, medicine, deodorant and homeopathic medicine…I had to buy something that I would not fight with myself over it after on why I did it.

Any hoot, I went out and enjoyed the sun…..

Take care folks…

A Thursday like any other one

Hello…

I swear, I was going to blog my two cents regarding the Orion spacecraft launch (I’m a fanatic of space, the Universe and rockets…just to name a few of my hobbies) when suddenly my day started to take a turn for the hectic.

It started with the visit from a diabetic nurse; I got 2 of them, who wanted to chat on technics and a plan of action to bring down my sugar reading.. That lasted about an hour. By the time I was ready to finish my post, my bath guy came and took away another hour and a half. So by the time all was done I said “fuck it” let’s just look for the launch of that stupid rocket on YouTube… surprise surprise, it was scrubbed! But wait there’s more….

 By the time you read this, about another hour has gone by because of my meals on wheels and my going through some pictures from summer camp… this one was my favorite… Camp Fire… I hope I’ll be there next year again…

I had a moment...

Any hoot, I have to go and do something… anything…

Take care folks…

Absorbing Neutrinos

Hello….

Last month of the year people, make it count!

So yesterday I got one of “my’ final gifts for the holidays, my bible, “How I met your mother” DVD collection. All the seasons packed in what looks like a book; making it believe it’s the playbook from Barney Stintson… if you don’t know what it is, what’s wrong with you? It is so nicely pack that I’m not even going to open it.

Amazon is shipping cats
Awww, so cute...

After that pleasant surprise, I wondered off to the shopping mall in search of some Alka-Seltzer to keep during the season. We already had one victim and I blame myself for not being ready for such an event; “A home without Tylenol and Alka-Seltzer is not a home, it’s hell.” I always say. So now I am ready for whatever ailment might come my way. But I went to the shopping center for something else, I was looking for blood and I found it; Call of duty for Xbox 1! Wow, what graphics, what story line, what a game… the guy at Target didn’t think much of the game, but he looked like an arty type of person that wouldn’t kill a fly so this wasn’t his type of game he said… what a loser, when you’re in sales you basically own whatever the customer wants. I remember when I use to sell stuff, the customer would ask if the computer was fast and I would always answer with “I am happy with it…” leading them to believe that I had one…. That’s how you sell shit, not by giving your honest opinion…. Nerd!

Take care folks….

PS And what was it with those two tribal piercing on the ears…You looked like an Amazon native person…Dweeb....
