I just remembered one of my favorite Jimmy Kimmel moments, he had a guest on and was asking him questions about the guest's upcoming movie and out of the blue asked, "Do you think god is mad at Michael Jackson?"
It has been forever since I have had a drink of alcohol. Only about 8 days short of being a month. I think mainly this is due to a busy schedule and not having a Thursday, Saturday or Sunday for a recovery day off in that time frame. I also have not had an urge to drink. I will be trying to stay away from drinking for a full month, for no particular reason, like a calm before the storm.
I would like to see a hurricane or tropical storm named BUKKAKE!
"BUKKAKE! is going to be a messy storm, it is going to slam into the coast and drench it."

Battle Axe!
Last night featured supper at the OH, I don't know if I enjoyed the food more, or hearing the people behind us tell about how disgusting their neighbors house is with toys and kids stuff everywhere and how the mother is a stay at home and implied she should have the house clean, and about a wedding they attended that she was embarrassed to be part of.

Art Attack
The other night around 1:30am Kelly and I paused on the family channel for a moment as Art Attack was on. This one was some special late night action as he made a rhino out of the rhino's own piles of shit that were collected in a shovel and wheelbarrow from the rhino's living area in the zoo. Later on in the episode he was blowing paint around on a table using a straw, however it looked like he was using his nose to do so and snorting up lines of coke, he then threw down the straw and said something like, "man that gives me an art attack!" I can only imagine the drugs he takes to think up the shit on that show.
Tuesday saw a trip to Moncton with Kelly, after the regular mall visit and going to see my old apartment we went and obtained her friend Stephanie and went to Ponderosa for supper. There we had the same waiter who a few years ago gave us our meal and asked us, "would you like some ah... cool whip with that?" when he meant to say mayo. This time he had a hard time tracking us down when bringing us our food. He went to at least 4 other tables in the place asking them if they were us, being the asshole I ‘am I didn't raise my hand saying it was mine, until we were the last table that he came to and asked the question, "did you order something here?"
Earlier in the day in Moncton, a guy appeared out of no where behind the car as I was backing out of a parking spot, he looked to be staggering and drunk, approached my window and didn't say anything. I took a few seconds to read what was in his hand, it was an item he was selling and he was deaf and appeared to be a bit not all there as well. I think this was the first time in a long time I given to charity, and although Kelly feels it may have been a scam and he wasn't really deaf, he definitely had something wrong with him and the 48 second shocker like handshake he gave me was worth the $5

Lightspeed University
It has been too long of a time span to recap all that has occurred since my last writing. I believe it all started with a taxi driver telling the joke, "What did one casket say to the other? Is that you coffin?" It also included a lot of work, Kelly staying over for a week (she only fell out of bed once), a few alcohol outings, a mr. noodle flavor powder explosion/fire on the stove, the Getaway being beat, and that is about all I can recall at the moment.
Recently I read a suggestion about what to do with the high amount of vacant buildings here on the west side of the city. The former courthouse, its parking lots, the river inn, legion, and jubilee center and some other additions would make the perfect location for a university.
A university would be an excellent way to not only rescue this city from its pending journey to the bottom of the river, but would also take it to the next level of being what this place should and can be. With the proper vision and building of such a facility here, it could work. Sure there are valid points such as, who wants to stay here to go to university, who wants to move here to go to university, who would teach, what would it offer? To those valid points, I say it would have to be unique. It would need something to set it apart from other schools. It would have to offer something special, find a good niche and a solid image to start with and build upon. Also don't forget, it would have the Blackhorse and OH to help it gain interest.
My vision for the city would be seeing an actual legit university established here on the west side of the city in the above mentioned locations, doing away with traffic around the square. Revamp it with proper shops, restaurants and pubs, and sidewalk patios like every other city has done. Get rid of the former federal wharf; turn it into an extension of Ritchie wharf, complete with massive indoor/outdoor skate/go-kart/climbing, mini golf, etc facilities for people to have something to do.
Turn the former flett property into a McDonalds or something even better. Do the same with the property across the street by Dixie lee. As for the east side of the city, take some of the downtown warehouse space and invest in finding a solid business to come to town, other then a call center or gym. Something that will not only offer employment for people here, but bring people in from out of town who will spend.
