I thought i should go on record on my thoughts on the Toronto Maple leafs this year as the pre season opens tomorrow.
I really like the way the new coach (Ron Wilson) is talking. I hope to see a departure in the poor defensive play that has been part of the Leafs culture for as long as i have been alive.
Talking about goalie workloads he mentioned that in San Jose last year the team gave up 23 shots on net per game and then noted that the Toronto goalie faced significantly more.
this is the kind of logic i like to hear rather than the old "we are going to be tough to play against with our aggressive work ethic"... and of course to motivate that work ethic we have signed many players to lucrative long term deals with no trade clauses.
said one leafs fan to the other "you never know"
and the reply was "yea you know... it the Leafs"
might this be the end of the classic "leaf collapse" (where they play good for a period and a half and then give up 4 goals in 3 minutes and never recover)

speaking of shameless promotion
were we speaking of that?
oh right we don't speak.. i write and you shake your head at the stunning lack of grammar understanding i display.
This recording kicks some serious ass. i always view it as a disaster as the making of it punctured the first hole in the Roadbed armor. During the mixing of that album very strange things happened one being the saga that became "deep fried" and "deep fried reprise" which essentially ruined that song for me forever and left me with a bad lump somewhere.
Anyhoo, one of my favourtie local parents and i started talking music at the park while the kids played today until an upper body injury took out one of the kids. in the end i ended up sliding him a few Roadbed CD's... and then i got all paraniod so i took a listen.
Knockout hits is a fantastic CD, humorous, original, real and rocking.
My wife just came down and asked me what i was laughing at and it happened to be "territorial lynx" and the words to "Willingdon Junction".
I skipped Deep fried... hearing OK sung the wrong way still kills me.
Knockout Hits
actually fuck it... just listened to "Chimp on the ropes" and all the rage came back.
all copies of this CD should be destroyed... wow. no lyrics on the first chorus... i remember that one now... i think i am remembering the reasons i can't listen to this record. i end up in a series of why questions.

the economy
My main point in the song Mr Greenie is the whole idea about this nonsense we keep hearing about how the economy is so important.
If there was no more economy, would food not still grow on the earth? Would there be no air or water (of course poisoned by the byproducts of "the economy"). it's so weird people vote for people on the words "strong economy" and "low taxes"... how one could fall for that bull shit i don't quite know. Apparently if the economy is good we can work 80 hours a week and be just able to afford all of the new consumer products we need to keep our selves "in style" and "happy". One of my main goals in life is to go and live off the land and the grid.
Explain to me now how a government who is apparently all about a free market system, allows hype machines to make people believe bad loans are good loans all the while fleecing the average citizen, home deed owner and consumer. Then when the shit hits the fan as many smart people have been saying for years then the government covers the money that has now apparently disappeared with taxpayer money. So the government is not going to regulate it they are just going to cover the loss.
wouldn't the free market dictate that if that company made a bunch of dumb moves then they should pay the price. What is the price? Can the economy fail? Can you prop up a flawed giant... wont it fall sooner or later if it is really fucked.
Me, i don't really know much about economics. i know i don't like debt so i avoid it at all costs... i work hard and i do without, and as i do without i miss nothing of any significance. i know people who lost a lot on money on Nortel and some who lost on Bri-ex... i have long been predicting the end of this insane real estate climb. and i have feared for people who have no fear... the ones who don't care what it costs because it's the life they want. Does anybody really know what they want?
you think i would be a commune kind of guy with all of this talk, but a commune would never work for me because there would always be a few lazy jackasses who have no shortage of words to explain and re-explain their own predicaments that it would drive me to have an immediate and massive stroke.
I just shake my head that this economy, which is the root of the problem destroying the live ability of the planet (pollution, loss of bio-diversity, global warming...), is so important that after it fleeces the fools who drive it those people pay again to keep it going... and that's all cool.
we define insanity

I'll take this country back to the stone ages... back when a rock was a rock.

Just going over a few of the more obvious things
I realise you are all in your homes thinking the same thing...
as they say in the years to come there will be wars over water, because water will be the most precious commodity on earth. they also talk about how northern locations will have a more temperate climate with this "Global warming" thing.
A place like northern Alberta could be very well suited for this "NEW GLOBAL ECONOMY" what with it's vast networks of freshwater lakes... unless of course all of those lakes became toxic holding tanks that need air cannons going off all the time just so that ducks don't land in them as they will face sure death if they were to land in that unsolvable environmental fiasco. If that happened one might hear some fool say "if only we had known" and "who would have ever predicted", and perhaps, "did we save any of that tar sands money or is it all gone".
It would cause a lot of financial hardship if they were to shut down the operations, but what is the future price? I guess the answer is who cares, we need new stuff now and people will be out of office drawing golden government pensions when that shit hits the fan.
Apparently the price of oil is down yet the price of gas is up... i just paid $1.47 a liter... I'm not complaining i think it is still way to cheap when you think about the actual cost.

wasn't i on some "how to" kick
It's always hard with these blogs reading backwards... if you know what i mean.
last time i believe i had my little head up my big ass and i was whining about having trouble booking shows in other Canadian cities. Just do it you chump.
I guess i got all of my stuff into the publicist so i all i have to do is pay him and people will know about this CD. And that is the real goal here... nothing, for me, is more frustrating than trying in vain to get your music heard. it's true that i am a horrible salesman, and i take that as a matter of pride. if you ask me a question i will do my best to give you the answer that is best for you. I just think that that is how people should be.
Let face it humans are insane. The only thing that matters is "money" and "the economy" and north americans are about to suffer through the spending of hundreds of millions of dollars to convince people to make last minute knee jerk reactions and vote for some fool. Imagine if all of that money could be put into some renewable energy project and all the candidates just had a web page with there philosophy and people could read and understand and make a consciences decision. i also believe that anybody who believes in the theory of "intelligent design" should be striped of their right to vote as they have proven that they are unable to think for themselves.
as humans we have to think like the beehive
Do bee's shit in their hive? Does one bee come in and give a dance to tell the hive the location of a prime field of sunflowers are and then another bee does a better dance and tells the bee's to fly in the other direction to en empty field with a few wilted lilies... but the field happens to be owned by a buddy of the fine dancing bee.
the bee's would sting the shit out of the liar bee don't you think.
Bee's don't have garbage day.
If we are to survive on this planet... and i doubt it, i think we will need to take lessons from organisms that live within their environments. the word freedom comes up but i think the freedom we need is free time... which apparently we have less and less of... so perhaps the economy is not the main dog that it is cracked up to be. i guess there are a few generations of humans out there who have been heavily programmed to spend and want.
you ever had a kid who started to walk and then had people tell you "now you have got problems". you should be allowed to sock people in the jaw for that kind of fool talk. One jackass parent told me the other day that now that their kid is mobile they can't control her. Have we all lost out fucking minds? Is the goal to raise capable competent thinking active and adventurous humans that have a sense of belief in themselves. god help them for the shithole disaster industrial wasteland of a planet that they will inherit. might not even bee any bees left by then

It's has been a bit of a rough period and i hold myself completely responsible for losing focus lately. I need a new list. Most of the stuff is done that was on the master list, but what i need is my own list to do things i can do to help make things appear, as sim might say "Bigger that they really are".
I have been trying to book a tour, with some success but now it has become a series of emails that may go somewhere but most likely will go nowhere. I think the real trick here is to hire somebody to book a tour for the band 21 Tandem Repeats because the work falls into the kind of fuckery that leaves me uninspired and to prone to being on the computer following silly political coverage which then remindes me how WAY OFF BASE the human way of life is with respect to maintaining a supply of clean life essentials.
I guess what i could do is to write some news stories on the 21 tandem Repeats, and canada Lynx Records websites. I should probably just stick to the raw facts or should i, just fore once, make up some elaborate story that has little relavance to to truth as it is defined in the Oxford dictionary?
Way's not to create a "stir"
1) get naked at the supper show
2) jump under peoples tables and force a puppet show on them
3) mentioning human sewage
Things to do for Robertson.
Feed and take care of twins and family
should write and not be on internet.
Exercise
work on vocals
