Day Twenty Two At the Office

Good morning beautiful people.

I've been enjoying my time in the blogosphere; I've had plenty of people tell me how much they enjoy my blog, I've also had some haters who wouldn't know what a blog is without the help of Google. I'm now on the hunt for people looking to get sponsorship and or advertisement space on my page. I know I only have three followers on the actual blog site; however, I have a lot more loyal readers that aren't followers yet. I'm also looking for fellow bartenders that have a creative side and are good with words, that would be interested in blogging on a daily or weekly basis under my blog page.

If there are any bartenders looking to share some experiences they've had within the industry, let me know and we'll set you up and get you started. The stories have to be real and no names can be used. I don't care how vulgar or graphic you choose to be, as long as it's written well and gets people's attention.

As far as the advertisement space goes; I have at least three spots available and I work on a time line contract. I am also open to the idea of sponsoring individuals or teams if anyone is interested.

Please let me know if you would like to join the team and make shit happen!

Stay drunk,

Day Seventeen At the Office

I'm back!!

Sorry to all those who actually get a kick out of reading my blog. I took a small vacation which was much needed and for once in my life decided to 'unplug' myself for a week. I know it has been longer than a week since my last blog; but with the Stampede and then my vacation, I haven't really had a whole lot of time. So lets get to it.

I will be adding more blogs now that I have signed onto my blogspot through my iPhone, I will also be minimizing the length of my blogs. I have been reading other blogs on the blogspot website and there are some really really long ones and then there are some short ones; I find that I read the short ones more than the long ones, they keep me coming back for more.

I recently returned from a small vacation out to the coast of British Columbia; I had a blast and attended a wedding and did some drinking and had all my drinks poured for me, this makes me a happy camper. I took my dog with me for the ride and just to get him out of the city as well, I could tell he enjoyed his time out there but we are both happy to be home.

Summer seems to be passing by so quickly, in this city we all know that when summer ends its time to throw the snow tires back on. Although I'm not complaining about the amazing weather we have been blessed with, it seems as though we are actually having a summer. What I like about warm summer nights is that I find myself more energized and I sleep less and accomplish more; it's almost as though I'm superman and I am being charged by the sun's energy, makes me feel somewhat indestructible!

Summer also brings am whole whack load of series premiers and season premiers on the good ol' boob tube, makes for a great little Sunday evening. I am a huge Big Brother fan and I am currently wrapped up in the latest season. I would love for Big Brother to come to Canada and I could be on it and make an ass out of myself in real life, rather than just on the blogspot.

That's it for now kids, enjoy the great weather and make sure to stay hydrated...I find that beer is great for hydration.

Day Thirteen At the Office

Hello all my fellow bloggers and drinkers and humanoids.

I apologize for my brief hiatus from blogging; I have been extremely busy and a lot has been happening in my personal life, I had a recent death in the family and things have been pretty crazy.

I know that writing about a lot of the happenings in my life helps me to release the emotions I would normally bottle up; however lately it seems that I have been able to deal with these emotions in real time, rather than bottle them up or write about them. I know this takes away from the whole idea of following my blog to see what's going on in the world of Digiddy; but I think if we all try really really hard, we'll all get over it!

So as I said before; I have recently gone through a death in the family, it has been hard on the whole family. Losing a loved one is never easy and seeing all the hurt and pain that can fill one room is often hard to deal with. I know that every time I have to endure the news of another loved one passing away, it tends to help me open my eyes a little more. I can appreciate all the things I have in my life because I know that all of these things can be gone in a heart beat. Everything we know and love and everyone we care about or think that we can't live without, all of this can disappear in a single breath. It's important for us to understand these facts of life so that we can all appreciate what is in front of us and never take any second of it for granted.

Aside from the passing of my uncle (RIP); I have been working a butt load to pay the bills, which is another thing I want to talk about. Why is it that we have to pay bills? I mean I understand that we are paying for services rendered; but when you really look at it, I mean seriously bring things under a bright light and powerful microscope, we are all getting hosed!

Take for example the incredibly powerful strangle hold that the good people of Shaw Cable have on those of us who are forced (due to lack of other cable service providers in Alberta) to deal with them. I know a lot of you will instantly ask why I don't just switch to satellite; for this I have another very stupid answer, I'm not allowed. You see I live in a condo downtown and when I asked the condo board for approval to install a satellite, I was told no. I was very persistent in the matter and asked for the condo board to at least send out a bulletin with a consensus asking other owners if they would agree to overturn the boards ruling; I was also very generous and offered to pay for a dish to be installed on the roof of the building and would allow other residents to buy a receiver and tune in to my signal, I still got a no. This being said; I am forced to deal with peasant vision and crappy at best, Shaw service. So I did what anyone else would do, I went for the total bundle. Not only am I getting my cable for my TV provided to me; I am also getting my phone and internet services provided to me by the good people at Shaw Cable, I can't even begin to tell you how easy this has made life for me............................pfffffffffffffft!!!! YA FUCKIN RIGHT!!!!

Shaw Cable has fucked me over so many times and I have been dealing with them without flawed payments for over ten years now! These bastards have lied to me, cut me off for payments not received (kind of hard to make a payment when I don't receive a bill in the mail), been rude to me on the phone, put me on hold for a minimum of half an hour EVERY time I call and last but not least, they have sold me more than one refurbished cable box and claimed they were new, only to have them break down and then get told that there is nothing they can do about it.

Last week I absolutely lost my shit on the good people at Shaw Cable; I was spoken down to in person by a pole smoking goof, who must have mistaken me for someone who wouldn't reach over the counter and smack the shit out of his boy kissing face! After I stormed out of the great customer service office of Shaw Cable; I immediately placed a call to the head office and reamed out a perfect stranger and in some very kind words, I told him to cancel all of my Shaw services.
Had I of known this would be so easy I would have done it long ago; you see they are so threatened by losing out on the twenty five hundred dollars a year that I spend on their half ass service that they offered to replace my high definition dual tuner cable box with a brand new one and they also told me they would knock off the last two pay per view events I had ordered and not received, yet was still charged for. I was amazed at how easily this victory was obtained, especially since the battle has been raging since '02', seven years of calling in to have my bill adjusted and seven years of faulty cable boxes and seven years of rude customer service representatives...all of it put in the past and me standing on the top of the mountain doing the victory dance. The lesson I can take from this would have to be one of justice for those who are prepared to make the appropriate threats at the appropriate time.

I am again apologizing to all of you who actually keep up with my blog and enjoy my views and outspoken opinions on life in general and all of the shit in between. I will be in the office more often and I will be banging my fingers away at this keyboard until I have been heard and felt by those who most need to hear and feel me! Until that time, here I sit, iTunes blasting, dog farting, crack heads screaming, and me pouring the fluids of life.....booze baby!

Drinks in the air and some on the ground for the dead hommies, gone but not forgotten (RIP Uncle Chuck).

Day Seven At the Office

Good day fellow earthlings.
I know what you're going to say; working on a Sunday is sac religious, well I'm not one to worry about those types of things. Not to say I don't have my belief structure; I just merely don't believe in powerful idles other than the internet, I mean let's face it, at least I know the internet actually exists.

Anyway people; I am just popping in to lay down a good luck to the Lakers and to shout out the people who keep coming back for more, thanx to those of you who have messaged me on other social networking sites to tell me you've read and enjoyed my blog. It really does mean a lot to me to know that I'm not just banging away aimlessly on the keys of this here board attatched to my computer. I will be back tomorrow with some stories about my ridiculously good looking family and our whacky adventures (always fun) at a family bbq taking place later today. Stay tuned for more!

Next rounds on me,
