Parking enforcement officers who think they need to tag EVERYTHING... including my olive green truck with the white/red "CANADA" license plate while parked in front of an armoury... I wonder if they ticket municipal government vehicles or Toronto police cars?.. I'd like to think the Federal Government is as worthy as the city..
I have no clue where I'm going to be living in 3 weeks today. I check kijiji, craigslist, viewit 20 times a day and everywhere I find that I can afford either gets taken before I get there or I never get a response. I realize that Toronto is an expensive place to live, but I'm looking everywhere from Etobicoke to Scarborough (although Scarborough would suck as I work in Etobicoke) but I keep coming up empty handed.
I am still waiting for OCAD to get back to me about what all transfer credits I get as well, and tuition is due in 10 days.
Oh joy. I could write a book on the reasons Toronto pisses me off and sucks.

Biggest piss off lately that sums up a lot is people, but one in particular, who are the do-as-I-say-not-as-I-do type. I guess some people are that self involved that they just don't get it. I have a friend that could be the poster child for this.
Edit: I originally had a story explaining things but I decided to chop it out. basically, sometimes some friendships cause piss you off and make you wonder if they are worth the hassle.
some bloody douchebag who is a friend of my friend, and is a schizophrenic who's off his meds, is pencil thin, can hardly speak english, has no job, and has a retarded afro is talking smack about me and thinks he is the hot shit. I feel like going to pay him a visit and depositing a large amount of energy into the back of his skull with a crowbar.
Ok, I told her it was not in your or the project's best interest to have sex with the first guy. She said she wouldn't and then that she did not. Drama happened, and as I found out it was because of this.
The second guy she said that she had no interest in. I believed her because he was a particularly ugly tweaker that she always expressed suspicion in. He "raped" her during consensual bdsm in which she had stated there would be no safety word. Drama happened, and as I found out it was because of this.
She was joking about rape to herself in the logbook not more than two days later.
She leaves the compound with the projects funds and her new guy within five days of being "raped". They are both very much in love she says. He has a girl that he's been with awhile in another state that she doesn't know about. This was all potentially jeopardizing the project and specific things I either directed warned her against or would assume that she'd have enough common sense not to do (eg, hook up with two known tweakers within two weeks) were done. She lied to me and to a degree played me for a fool. She's still trying to do so. What she doesn't know is that I have better eyes on her and understand her though processes.
What is a guy to do?

Best non photo post in decades. Would make a great poster, maybe like this: A Desiderata for angry people :)

Desiderata was parodied by National Lampoon, re-named as Deteriorata. Voiceover talent Norman Rose read the "poem" and then-little known Melissa Manchester was a background singer on the chorus section of the song. Christopher Guest wrote the music.
The highway was completely stopped 10+ miles from a completely clear junction. No wrecks. No larger amount of traffic. No reason it shouldn't have been smooth sailing other than people are fucking afraid of the sun.
Seriously people. It's been there millions upon millions of years. It's not like it's unexpected when it rises. There's no "What the fuck? Light? I'm scared." It's bullshit.
furthermore, THERE IS NOT a car made after 1990 that doesn't have a set of goddamn visors, use them you stupid pieces of shit!

never have that problem here... everyone has these funny things you put on your face and it dims light...
I get "sun delays" a lot on Hwy 401 since it's an east/west highway. In the morning, I get the sun in my eyes and again on my return commute in the evening. Do people not use their visors or own sunglasses???
