Mamma Mia
I am spending a lot of time in yellow this week. With my recent dismissal from Cision Canada I have had to look for other places of employment. So far I am still looking, but I do get to have 1 dollar breakfasts and Swedish meatballs thanks to my moonlighting at the great Swedish furniture seller type guy. Its super eh.
I went to see Horton Hears a Who with my Little Brother. Some funny stuff in that movie. That is all.
So I guess that's all I have to say, but what you gonna do. I am recovering from being on my feet all day. I don't envy people who have to do it full-time. I understand the importance of breaks now. Sitting at desk never seemed to really require a 15 minute interruption. Lets keep working people
What's the buzz. Tell me what's a happening.

Take This Job And Shove It
Hello Backpackers!!
I want all you all to read with caution as I share a tale of unemployment, partying and illness. This is the latest adventure in the Bearded Backpacker chronicles.
Well to start I am searching for a new job. I was unceremoniously removed from former position as a production assistant with Cision Canada. I enjoyed my time there, mostly because of the people, but the last year was starting to annoy me and my fellow inmates. Well as a result when a simple internet change came that would at most annoy me was instructed I had to complain. Unfortunately I chose the wrong person and he didn't care for my use of the phrase, 'useless measure.' C'est la vie.
So now I am on an extended vacation as I look for new opportunities. If anyone out there reads this and has a job offer, I'm listening.
I was a little disappointed by the decision, but I also knew it was time to move on. Wish me luck.
As for the Partying well I had a visit from the brother of a former flame this past weekend. The word debauchery took on new meaning for me this weekend. Untrue it was a good time. It included some dancing, drinking, gambling, ogling and unrequested touching. If I could only find that girl who grabbed my chest and her friend. If anyone knows a black girl named Miriam in Calgary who goes to the Mercury Lounge let me know.
Unfortunately I think all the partying eventually led to my current illness. I'm sick. I have a cold and its not great, but not horrible either. It was worth it.
Well the Easter long weekend is approaching and I am looking forward to finding some chocolate easter eggs. Remember it is also a time for remembering JC and his sacrifice. Maybe I'll watch some Jesus Christ Superstar this weekend.
What's the buzz tell me what's a happening.

Celebrate Good Times
Alberta has voted for change. It has elected the PC party for another 4 years with a massive majority. Ok actually only 20 % of the population voted for the PC's, but they still took 72 seats. Alberta only has 83. I actually live in one of the only ridings not won by the Tories. Scud Stud Arthur Kent was unable to unseat incumbent Dave Taylor of the Liberals. Preston Manning was on CBC this week saying the Liberals should actually change their name because their are equated with losing. The Alberta Liberal party has lost 23 straight elections. The dominance of the Tories pretty much keeps any body with any charisma from taking the party to higher levels.
So is this what its is like to live in a dictatorship? We love you Ed!!!
Anyway we'll see what happens over the next 4 years. The next election is to have new electoral boundaries and maybe that will change things because the rural areas will lose some of their seats to the more densely populated municipalities. Calgary loves the conservative lifestyle so who knows if things will change too much here, but you never know.
Anyway to quote or nearly quote Kent Brockman
'I've said it before and I'll say it again, Democracy simply doesn't work.'
