How to stop Ticket Master and all of their bullshit.

It’s sad to say with ticket prices going crazy if you want to see them live. Sadly there is only one option. STOP GOING. I’m completely serious, when fee upon fee upon a service charge just gets too much. DON’T GO The thing most people don’t understand is why there are so many touring bands these days. Because no one buys album, you rent to own music anymore. Thank goodness for my…

Where the FUCK all the parents?

Hi welcome, yes it’s me again beating the drum. But now I actually have a reason. I, me, Bob has a young daughter. She’s doing well thank you very much BUT as dysfunctional and destroyed as we are if ANYONE touched my baby girl in a bad way…They for legal reasons would never be a happy MAN again. Trump and his allies, according to credible sources and court documents. Did not mistreat…

give Trump a break

First all you may see the am Canadian. yes it fun to watch him scip and jump around politics. Like skip over cracks break you’re mother’s back. But for some reason I’m thinking as you walk with your famous racist father. Black kick right in the Back. This all Canadian fantasy So you bomb out of, grade school, Middle school, High school. Early Draft Point. nothing remarkable at best. I could…

Tick tock, Tick tock

Well it seems like the American Democrats pulled them selves out of the slime last night. Remember I’m only an observer I have no dog in this race. But I appreciate the hell out of a campaign run on policy and not hateful rhetoric. The clock is ticking are Americans watching. I highly doubt it. Donald Trump himself said he wanted stupid, lazy People to vote for him. Is America ready to…

So is this really what humanity has become?

When I look at the world today I remember growing up in the 80s. Frankie Goes to Hollywood on my car speakers. Two Tribes go to war. We are at the peak again but it’s snuck up on us all. This time it’s cloaked in friendship and butter covered in cash. The 80s were a real cold war fought over territory. Two empires going at it for a final time. Someting real, tangible. Not this time well not yet…

For fuck sakes it's Trump

I see all the influencers and glittering people going on about how sales are going down in Las Vegas. Saying it’s the heat. Nope it’s your president, stopping and arresting people at the border. Searching cell phones to see if they have any memes that may not like him It’s all about arrested people on the streets with no reason or rational It’s about people’s freedom to speak truth to power…

Why AI could actually be good for humanity.

Hello folks. So why could AI be good for humanity? Well what is artificial intelligence, it’s just that it’s not real as humans would define it. Wires and stuff computing things. For us, we have benefitted greatly from computers. To free us from cumbersome mathematics, plot trajectory in space. Things we can still do by hand, ya know a pencil and paper. Artificial intelligence is in its…

Perfect Timing

As you all know I am a proud Canadian. Much like many of you are proud American’s We have no beef there, I grew up on the border of the Excited States of America. But the G7 conversation is happening in Canada this week. Let’s take a simple look at this picture. Well, there are government produced, actions going on to incite people to riot. This is very clear. Canada is inviting a…

God save the King?

I am very Canadian, I am not an turncoat. I have always been a willing subject of Her Royal Magesty our Queen and now her son King Charles. I feel lucky like a part of our commonwealth that Americans could only dream about. For one thing media always gets wrong Canada does not border the Atlantic ocean and Pacific ocean. We also own great parts of the Arctic ocean. I was actually happy to…

Why I keep writing.

Well friends and neighbors I have a little something to report. I have found that my memory is slipping a bit. Oh do not fear I remember Bugs Bunny, Star Wars and Pink Floyd with nauseating clarity. But I’ve noticed the little things slip my mind. Short term diaphoretic loss is the title I believe. Remember I was a Psychological major in university. But I’ve found if I can write I do…

My mother

My mom Its never easy to write about you because I don’t know about the girl who gave birth to me. I have never shared our pain of separation. Yet I love you gave me a better life. I learned to swim, I learned to run. I understand you wanted a better life for me. And I found it. I swam I’m cold lakes, I loved music. I remembered you every day. The only thing I wanted and have always praise…

A message to my daughter

This is super hard to write because I’m sure you have heard many stories about me. Yes your mom and I were struggling to keep our relationship together. It was very hard for me, and I tried. Believe me I really tried. For years your mom wanted a very expensive porcelain figurine. I’m sure she still has it. One Christmas I brought her a card saying I had purchased it. I had a payment plan. We…

Does Andor Season two deliver?

In my opinion yes, so far. It’s not a happy feel good about the hero’s show. We all have seen Rogue One, well I hope anyways. Season two starts out with how efficient and calculating the empire actually is. Big characters die. Maybe it’s not Star Wars without lightsaber fights. But this is a curb stomping example of what can happen in a totalitarian regime. For me as an adult who actually did…

What the actual fuck Don

As a citizen of the world. Don pull your head out of your ass. Because you have no idea in your Adderall addled mind about trade. Attacks against trading countries is not like an evening a Mara Lago. You are dealing with the big boys now. With big response. We are not banana Republics for you to PRETEND to push around. Wanna take off those velvet gloves and go toe to toe. Sure we have been…

What persona would you like today?

Hello friends. I know I have been few and far between. But today, I want to talk masks. Persona if you will Every human is capable of inhabiting many forms, faces, or deceptions. It’s not something we learn or are taught it’s what we are born with. Follow me for a bit, as infants we learn to cry when hungry or soiled. We smile and laugh when held. Even at this most basic stage, we start…

What drives Bob Batshit crazy?

We all struggle with problems at home that would be routine in our work place. The one that vexes me now as work. Something we all deal with every day. So you would think I’m a master of it. Sadly no. That Bugaboo is air. Simple, flighty and bloody seriously hard to master. Please let me explain, at work I build high quality aircraft parts. Doing so I deal with air pressure every day. On…

Why hasn't Russia attacked Ukraine with nukes?

In my very humble opinion, and please let me be blunt. Russia is fucked. Win lose or draw when population of the west and I include Russia in that. The birth rate is falling behind the death rate. This is not new science, it’s math. Which I was horrible at. But one thing I am good at, attention big investment. Is figuring out trends. I saw the near collapse of North American industry…
