Hello my fellow drinkers.
I would like to start by thanking mother nature for the great weather we've been having in this fine city; nothing beats sweaty balls and stale air, but seriously I am enjoying the hotness of it all.
In this city; hot weather means mini skirts and tube tops, which means for us guys, it's going from six to twelve on the regular. I love how the skanks come out to play and the creeps come out to stare and slur all over them; makes me feel as though I live in a city full of douche bags and whores, which for the most part is true.
Ladies!!!!!!! There's a lot to be said about class. If you wish to impress a guy try going out and buying a cute little sun dress and work on your tan; then maybe instead of wearing next to nothing and attracting all the moron's this fine city has to offer, you might actually snag you a real man.
Don't get me wrong; I love skanks and I love boobs and I love mini skirts, I just don't think that you ladies love guys like me who would love to see you for a night and kick you in the morning, never to be heard from again.
Final thought? How bout I leave that one to you.

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 Sixteen At the Office
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,

Day Fifteen At the Office
Howdy howdy fuckers,
No bullshit, jumping right in. Let's get started...
This past week has been one for the memory books; we lost a formal Angel and a pop icon, we also lost a successful infomercial guy. Aside from the passing of Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and Billy Hays; I myself went through a very memorable week as well. Without going into a whole lot of detail about what happened to me, I can assure you all that I am a total idiot! I am however only human and as a human, I'm bound to make mistakes. All I can say is that I am sorry to those I have hurt and I have learned from my mistakes; if we hang in there we can make it through anything, life can only get easier. To all those who are mourning the deaths in this recent week and anyone who has been affected by the death of loved one; my heart goes out to you, memories are made for a reason (cherish them all).
Now to get down to it. This week is the start of the 'Greatest Outdoor Show on Earth' and I can hardly wait! I know a lot of people that were born and raised in this wonderful city tend to get sick of the whole thing; a lot of other people however, don't. I myself love the Stampede. What more could you ask for? Mini Donuts, pizza on a stick, endless rides, beer gardens, beautiful people scantly clad, cowboy hats, the smell of horse and cow shit, rodeo's, fireworks nightly (which I can see perfectly from my balcony), over priced everything, more drunk girls than a frat party and not to mention the best pub crawls of the year.
The Calgary Stampede and Exhibition is an amazing treat; if you have never had the opportunity to enjoy it, I highly recommend you get your ass down there this year. I know I only have one day off to enjoy the Stampede, but I also know that I will enjoy the shit out of that day off! My girlfriend and I have a tradition of stuffing our faces (thank God for the gym) full of foods that you don't normally get to eat (pizza on a stick) and then doing our best to withstand the urge to yack while spinning at a G-force of unreasonable pull. The rides are great and the people are fun; there is constant live entertainment and beer gardens, need I say more?
This twelve day party is intense and definitely not for the faint of heart. Most people I know in the industry have planned vacations pretty much the day after the Stampede ends; it's rough but fun, it's the stuff unforgettable memories are made of. We all work our asses off and we all party our asses off as well; I know I will be a hurtin' unit for at least a solid week after, this is why I am leaving for a week to recover with my gf in beautiful British Columbia. When I get back I will have plenty to write about so stay tuned.
So to recap; Stampede starts this week and the shit show begins, make sure you all check it out! I mean if people travel from all over the world to come see this event, what makes you so special to pass it up when it's in your very own city.
Yeehaww Cowgarians!

Day Fourteen At the Office
Howdy sloppy drunks!
Back in the office today and wanting to touch on some very real, very important issues. For starters I would like to go in depth on the whole hunger and poverty situation that one in every thirty six American's face; I would like to go as far as I can with this, ok maybe I just did. I mean seriously people! Wake up! Hunger? Poverty? Aren't these more third world sort of issues? When people fail at life or have some pretty nasty curve balls thrown in their direction; they tend to abandon all hope in the personal gratification part of their lives, they tend to simply give up. I understand hunger and poverty are very important/touchy subjects; why then do we allow our fellow brethren to go hungry, why do we sit back and do absolutely nothing while some people can't even eat?
Now I'm not talking about the crack heads and drunks that frequently roam the streets looking for free hand outs; rather I am referring to the good people, the honest people that have had some pretty bad luck. I am talking about people just like you and me. If this can happen to people like them, who's to say it can't happen to us? I know that we all think it could never be that bad for us; that no matter what we have people who love us and would never sit back and do nothing while we go hungry, well the same is true for the others. If you think for one second that those who have exhausted all options; those who have tried everything they could to get back on top, don't have loved ones that are there for them...yet still sit back and allow them to go hungry, you are sorely mistaken! It doesn't take much to slip to the bottom of life's cruel and often times climactic societal status pole, in fact in this day and age, it is rather easy to slip to the bottom and damn near impossible to climb back up.
We can all make donations and wear t-shirts and twitter about it; however, nothing will ever make things right. What we have here people...is a failure to communicate. Failure to help those who need it. Failure to acknowledge real issues. Failure to give a fuck about our fellow people. I myself can sit back and say that this blog will help make a difference; but the truth is, without actually going out and force feeding some hungry guy, I am not really doing much myself. The only simple answer is that we need to be more aware of what causes the hunger and poverty in the first place and the people who can actually make a difference (celebrities, politicians, wealthy people), should indeed do their best to fix it!
I know a lot of you might ask why I even give a shit about the state of affairs in the good ol' U.S. of A...the answer is simply that the past has proven to us all that it starts there and slowly trickles upward to our beautiful country that would never allow hungry people to suffer and die. You see; the United States are like a viral infection that spreads without warning and infects as many as it can without offering the hope of an anti-virus. If you think what I am saying is wrong; well you're entitled to your opinion, however if you do decide to disagree with me, you are one hundred percent playing into the self centered attitude and constant denial that most Americans exude so comfortably.
Without digging myself too much of a shallow grave; I will change directions here, I will now briefly talk about one American toy I can't live without. I recently downloaded the new 3.0 software upgrade for my iPhone; I will admit that this has made my life so much more enjoyable, I will also admit that I am a total nerd for getting this excited about a software upgrade. I love the fact that I can now turn my phone to landscape for text, I love the fact that I can now cut/copy/paste, I love all of the new features. I have only one bone to pick; why in the fuck didn't they upgrade the camera? I want to join the rest of the world that can already take video recordings with their normal cell phones! I mean seriously, I have a super cell phone that does everything and guess what, when you need to find out how many people just farted in a room...there's an app for that! Yet I still can't take video's with my iPhone! Major upset! (*touches fingers to head in a salute*). Maybe after they are done promoting the new 3G-s (which ironically enough does include video capabilities); we will get another software upgrade, and maybe, just maybe this software upgrade will allow us to use video on our iPhone's. I'm wishing for the best.
Until the next hangover,

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).

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!

Day Twelve At the Office
What is up my peoples!
Just a quick one today. Giving shouts out to all of those who found the time to make it out to the Yardhouse on 17th Ave this past Sunday. We threw a great event and had a great time; lots of good people came down, lots of good people donated as well.
On Sunday we had a benefit for the Ride to Conquer Cancer in honor of Penny Parker (Sean Parker's mom); it was a great event and a complete success! Unofficially we raised about 13k towards her Ride to Conquer Cancer and more importantly, we helped raise some awareness to a few hundred people. It's one thing to come down and support the cause and donate; but it's another thing to educate yourself or allow yourself to be educated, on the facts of Cancer and some of the organizations that do their part to help not only raise awareness, but also to help find a cure.
The band (Static in the Stars) was great! Explosive acoustic set that had everyone; inside and out, on their feet. The crowd was great and the staff were solid; we had a very good day and had fun serving all you loyal people, thank you so much for the support!
Take a minute to raise your glasses,
