Superman Returned, and it was good

Found this out today... going to matinees of movies you want to see on opening day is a good idea.

Not only do you get to see a movie you really want to see on opening day... but you get to see it without the huge crowd with little kids running around screaming and talking (most times) so yeah thats a great idea

Can't take a simple order!

About a week ago i attended a Godsmack concert (freakin' awesome by the way) and I noticed something... even if you tell someone "DON'T MOVE I WILL BE RIGHT BACK!!!" (the caps are cuz you have to yell over the music) when you return to that spot, they are nowhere to be found.
This doesn't always just apply to Godsmack concerts, but to exhibitions, bars, clubs, anywhere there is a mass amount of people in one area.
You usually end up spending the next hour trying to find your friend(s) simply because they are your ride and you know they won't hesitate to leave without you:
Friend number 1:"Where is Matt?"
Drunk Friend number 2: "He got a ride with someone else, lets go!!!"

yeah, thats all i got to say about that...

Shopping for clothes alone, my third worst nightmare

Ok, i will be the first to admit i have 0% fashion sense, and it must show, let me explain...

A little while ago i had this idea i would buy some jeans, a totally normal easy thing right? WRONG! I was in the midtown plaza and i seen a bootlegger so i was like "I bet they have jeans." Now, I don't THINK i had a lost, puzzled look on my face, but as soon as I walked in i got attacked by two girls going "Hey can I help you? What are you looking for? Do you need help?" and I am not the kind of guy who responds well to being blindsided, and I truly didn't think i needed help so i said "No i am just looking around.."
So I start looking at some jean racks and one thing i noticed (now i am going to start sounding like an old person) is that they all have holes and tears in them, which i realize is the fashion, and thats fine but you know, doesn't make any sense to a small town guy like me, and when i finally found some without holes in them, i check the price tag... and now the price wasn't bad i mean assuming i have 200 dollars to blow on a pair of jeans (I don't by the way) so i said to heck with this place ( and by this time I had been asked by another two or three girls if i needed help)
I repeated this exact same act at about 2 or 3 differnt clothing stores before i just said screw this and went home..
I hate shopping for clothes to begin with, but i really hate shopping for clothes alone, I always buy something that makes me look like a goon, or someone (if I am lucky) who is about 3 years behind the fashion trend...
And you might be saying "just ask the girls for help!" yeah right! you can't ask these smokin' hot blondes for help, I don't want to look like even more of a loser... bah, i hate clothes shopping, there has to be a better way

Simpson's... greatest show ever

Just a few of my favorite simpsons quotes (just a few!)

Homer- Rock stars ... is there anything they don't know?

Homer- I don't apologize. I am sorry Lisa, that's the way I am.

Homer-Heh Heh Heh! Lisa! Vampires are make believe, just like elves and gremlins and eskimos!

Homer- Hey, I asked for ketchup! I'm eatin' salad here!

Homer-I won't sleep in the same bed with a woman who thinks I'm lazy! I'm going right downstairs, unfold the couch, unroll the sleeping ba- uh, goodnidght.

Chief Wiggum- Face it Simpson your not getting out here, your going to the chair.
Homer-Ahh!
Chief Wiggum- the interrogation chair!
Homer- oh whew!
Chief Wiggum- Plug it in boys!

Wal-Mart parking lot a.ka. Satan's Nostril's

If you have ever driven across a Wal-Mart parking lot (especially preston crossing in saskatoon) this blog doesn't need much explanation, but for those of you who have not, let me enlighten you.
First of all, as soon as you enter the parking lots, all bets are off, there will be people walking, driving, biking, wheelchairing, etc in literally every direction at all possible cross walks, its the biggest gong show you will ever see.
The worst are the elderly who have literally no peripheral vision, and give you the gas-break treatment for like 10 minutes because they believe they are trying to be nice and let you go, but there are like 5 cars behind them and 6 people waiting to cross, and of course as soon as you decide to just go, thats when they decide to almost T-bone you...
There are also the jerk-faces on cell phones who feel cutting you off is their perogative and will give you the "WTF! face" when you blast your horn at them. (these people are usually the rich snobs who, instead of getting hugs from their parents got ponies. What these people are doing at Wal-Mart is beyond me..)
Then you have to love the parents who have like 10 little kids with them and practice absolutly no control whatsoever. So needless to say the children run out in front of every car they see, how there aren't little white memorial cross's all over the parking lot i don't know...
I like to call this last group the "treat stop signs as yeild signs if your lucky" people, the title sort of speaks for itself. I am not even sure why they have stop signs in these parking lots, I have had to many close calls with people who don't understand the "vehicle on the right goes first" princepal.
Sometimes you think your smart and say "I am just gonna park at the back of the lot and walk, hahaha that will show them!" sure that may work at first, but then when it comes time to leave it takes probably 5-10 minutes waiting for somebody with enough common courtesy to let you back out, most people are so frusterated with all of the above people that they just don't care anymore.
So let's recap, people going in every direction, elderly folks gas/breaking with lines of people behind them, BMW's cutting you off at every turn, visually challenged running stop signs and little kids running out in front of you, and i am sure i am forgetting several others...
Summing it all up... I hate going to Wal-Mart.

Speed limits

For my first post i would like to comment on speed limits... generally they are posted for a reason... especially if it is for construction... as in "Maximum 40km/h over a half constructed over pass.... usually means you shouldn't go much faster then 40km/h... and you also shouldn't tailgate somebody who is doing 55km/h... just a thought...
