Yeeeeeehaaaaaw people!!!!
Today is for sure a short one. I am up waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too early in an attempt to be somewhat productive in one of the only days I haven't woken up hungover this Stampede. I figure if I hit the gym and sweat some of the devils drink out of me I might feel well enough to get reacquainted with some of my regulars at the bar; Jose, Jack, Johnny, Jim and of course lets not forget that tricky Russian bastard Mr.Smirnoff.
You see I'm not a heavy drinker (at least that's what I keep telling myself), so I don't feel too bad to let loose once a year for ten days while my city smells like horse shit and cow piss. I can't walk a block without getting hay stuck to my boots. So far I have managed to get drunk; sleep it off, get drunk again, sleep it off, get drunk again....well I'm sure you can all see where this is going. Last night was my first night of falling asleep and NOT passing out drunk since the shit show has started.
I just wanted to make sure that none of my readers missed me too much and that none of my friends who haven't talked to me in a couple of days, don't think I've died in a dumpster. I am having a blast this year and I hope the rain lets up for the rest of the week so I can continue to at least sweat out the booze while I consume it. I haven't made it to the grounds yet but I do believe tomorrow will be the special day; I intend to eat deep fried Oreo cookies and deep friend Mac n' Cheese.....I may also take a secret (very large) Tupperware container with me so I can store some of those mini doughnuts in my freezer for the rest of the summer. I can't wait to hit the zipper and puke all over the poor lil kid next to me.
I hope you are all having a very wonderful and safe Stampede. Make sure that you aren't drinking and driving and make sure that you also apply this to horse back riding as well.
Happy yaawhoo's and yeehaaw's,
-Sheriff Digiddy

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 Eleven At the Office
Hello all you sun worshipers!
Today is Lilac Festival in my home city. It's a great little festival that showcases all the small business and artistic talents of the inner cities fine folks; it brings people in from all over the city, to frolic the usually busy 4th street and the subculture along the way down 17th Ave. I love the 'hippy' undertone of the whole festival and the way it attracts people from all walks of life.
Today is also a special day at my work. As a guy who's family and heart have been touched by Cancer; I have to take this opportunity to tell you all about the happenings at the Yardhouse on 17th Ave today, we are throwing a bit of a party. This party isn't the normal Lilac Festival type of shindig; rather this party is for a very solid cause, The Ride to Conquer Cancer. My manager and friend, Sean Parker, has put together a spectacular affair today; all in the name of his mother Penny Parker and her battle with breast cancer. He has mustard up some live music, some great people, some loyal staff members and a whole lot of interested minds.
In an industry that is money hungry and somewhat devout of heart; Parker has managed to convince the owners to donate all the food and beverage sales on the day to the cause, he has also without a word, convinced staff to donate their time and wages to the cause as well. I myself am taking it a step further; I will be donating ALL of my tips on the day to the cause, I will also enlist the help of all my friends and followers to come on down and have something to eat and drink...remember that EVERYTHING is being donated!
I promise you all a good time and I also appreciate any of you who do take the time out to swing by and say hi. The band starts around 2PM and the festivities will be going on all day and all night. If you or anyone you know has been touched by cancer in any way; this is your chance to help find a cure, please don't hesitate to come on in and have a good time.
Pouring all day for free so come see me!

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,

Day Four At the Office
Hello fellow drink slingers.
Today I am excited because I am going for more work on my tattoo (arm sleeve). I can't wait for the finished product! For those of you who don't actually know me, I love tattoo's! I have a whole bunch of them and I am for sure going to get more. I am currently getting my entire left arm and chest plate done by Dan Cameron@Deadly Tattoo's (check them out)!! I will post some pics of the work I get done today later on my fb account; pretty sure that most of my friends there have already seen some of what I'm getting done, for those who haven't, feel free to check it out.
I will be back later on with some exciting news about life and friends of mine that have waaaaaaaay too much fun living it.
First drinks on me,

Day TWO At the Office
Day two of the blog.
Let me say this; I saw Star Trek last night and it was absolutely incredible! I took my girlfriend and she was balling in the first ten minutes. I managed to choke back my tears but I couldn't hide the chubb in my pants when stuff started to explode in outer space! I mean I know that it's highly unrealistic that fire could even ignite in space because of the lack of atmosphere; however I do feel that without stuff blowing up throughout the entire movie, it would have been a tad bit boring. In all; the action scenes were tight and the plot was mediocre at best, I felt that the producers could have shaved off at least a good half hour of crap that just wasn't worth being in the movie. Other than some of the lame scenes and some of the down time, I did like the movie quite a bit and his substantially raised the bar for the rest of this years blockbusters.
Now, back to business. Today is my day off from the local pub I work at; I have a full day of stuff I need to accomplish and I am usually rather disciplined when it comes to completing chores on my day off. I have gotten used to the realization that there is really no such thing as a 'day off''; rather there are only 'catch up' days, days where everything we do we have actually planned out days in advance with the full anticipation that we will not get another day to accomplish these things that we have to do on our day off.
SO as the world turns and the earth spins, I will split for now and get crackin at my list. I will post the re-cap of my 'day off' when it is complete.
Happy drinking:)
