I am here for Friends

About Me


"I was feeling like a stranger in a strange land..." ~ Robbie Robertson
I used to have a life, therefore I have never had a MySpace page. Today I will admit that I no longer have one (a life, that is), and use this momentous day to begin a blog. (insert shudder here)This blog will mostly consist of rants about this hideous city of Calgary and the way it compares with the good 'ol USA. Don't leave me comments telling me, "if you don't like it, leave." I am aware and you should be aware that I am "stuck" here and will be staying, like it or not. Feel free to be my friend; the only requirement is that you not be TOO cheerful and/or peppy.Welcome!

Calgarians Love To Live In The Past... and it's pathetic!

For those of you who don't know, the people of Calgary STILL think that they're the shit because they had the olympics here in 1988.  It constantly comes up in conversations and news stories, whether ...

Quick Question

Just wondering... If your spouse/significant other/roommate woke you up at 4am moaning, "I'm going to Emergency," would you or would you not go with them?  If it factors in, assume it was a weeke...
