There's no good segway here...

...so i don't mean to laugh but I have to...the guy who created the Segway's died from riding his Segway off a cliff. Oh my, comedians are going to have a field day with this one! Seriously, he died by using his own product...I'm sorry but I can't help but chuckle. I wonder what he was thinking on the way down..."Oh crap, this isn't gonna look good in the paper tomorrow!"

Evolution of Music...

...so on Friday I was driving and listening to the good time oldies and it got me thinking about names in music. By that I mean, songs that name a person. It's kinda funny to think about how names have evolved over time...

Back in the day there were songs about Mary-Lou, Susie Q and Peggy Sue....then we went to Brandy (she's the fine girl :P), Cecilia, Sarah, Rosanna and who can forget me and Julio.....then we moved out of the first names and went to Piano Man, Rocket Man, there was once a Tambourine Man, but he was a little older.....and now we're singing about Baby, Shawty or Shorty, Miss Independent and Alejandro.

What next?

We've also sang about many places....San Fransisco, California, New York, Africa, Cocomo....can you think of more?

Forget?...

...so I'm wondering if we forgot about the ridiculous gas prices? It seems like we've just grown accustomed to how high they are these days and don't even bother discussing them when they increase anymore. This morning I paid 107.1...kinda crazy eh? It cost me around $65 to fill my buggy and I find that a tad high. I know people are starting to buy Hybrid Vehicles so that they don't have to deal with high gas prices, but they're quite pricey themselves! Not only that, they don't have very much truck space as there's a huge battery that needs to be there in order for the car to run. It's not always as economical, space wise, and once you pay the premium for the car, I'm not sure you save that much. I wonder what the break even point is? hum.... We used to buy Diesel vehicles cause Diesel was much cheaper than gas. You also paid more for those vehicles. Now that's not even a good idea cause at times Diesel is more expensive! Kinda crazy, eh? I think a good "green" vehicle would be a wind/solar powered car....it should run real nicely in this neck of the woods!

Dealdliest Catch....

...so I told you we went to see three guys from the hit show "The Deadliest Catch" this week. It was a speaking thing and they were supposed to chat about fishing and their experiences. There were two hosts for the night, a man and a woman who work for a local radio station. They were also taking questions from the audience. I gotta say, I wasn't overly impressed. It was alright and they did have some funny moments but overall I wouldn't go running back to see them. They are just fisherman....nothing fancier than that....and they have the same stories like the many fisherman from around here. They also didn't realize that the Bay of Fundy has the biggest tides in the world....hummm.....I found that odd.

I guess what started the bad taste in my mouth was at the beginning of the show. A man stands up and clearly has a disability. His speech was a little slow and he had obvious physical disabilities. He had one of the Captain's books and said he had read it twice and wanted them to sign it. One of the Captain's then responds back to him mimicking his speech. I didn't find that funny at all....this guy paid money for the book and money to go see these men....and this money pays for their lifestyles....there was no need to mock him....it was RUDE. I assume they were a little looser with their lips due to the fact they were all drunk when they got on stage. Seriously?? You couldn't have waited till after?? We paid $117 to go see three drunk Captain's who also felt the need to ask the female host on stage to show them her "tits". Common! That was rude too. I'm not easily offended and can take lots of sexual and vulgar comments, but I just felt they were so drunk that they took it a little too far. That same lady went and got a question from the audience, of course she was female, and as soon as she stood up the Captain's were asking her to show them her tits too. Geesh guys....could you please come back to reality, we're not on Jerry Springer! Woman are more than that.

One lady stood up and mentioned that there were 4 fisherman missing off of Digby and they sounded generally interested for a minute and were nice....but then back to vulgar and drunk men talk. I don't know....I did laugh but they just weren't anything special.

I ended up meeting one of them later on in the evening at a bar. I was introduced and we shook hands, but then me and a friend just left. I didn't want him to think we felt like he was a celeb. He really isn't. He's a fisherman just like many around here. The difference is that I think most men from here wouldn't have acted that way - most are gentlemen.

Me!...

...so a colleague of mine sent me my horoscope. I'm not usually into that kind of stuff but this one was pretty darn good. Tell me what you think!

Ridiculous...

...so on the front page of the Chronicle Herald today is an article about a guy who just got 16 years for attempting to murder a man involved in the drug and crime gangs in Halifax. These guys have been in the news for years and it's getting to be very dangerous. I didn't realize how dangerous and serious these people were until I read the details of this case in this article: http://thechronicleherald.ca/Front/1200930.html

I'm glad the police are on to the associates and are wire taping them, but it's still very scary to think that people in our neck of the woods think and could plot something so horrible. I realize the guy he was shooting at is just as violent and dangerous, but someone innocent is going to get hurt because of these feuds. That scares me....and to think this took place outside a daycare....very scary....
