I'm STILL a self confessing, self professing know-it-all, or so I think!

RunKeeper

Downloaded this app last week, and this was a trial walk (not run) … a brisk walk. Great app, very useful and helpful. Here’s my results minus the route GPSed … wouldn’t want any fellow bloggers banging down my door.

back in the day, no one gave a flying fuck

Was a time when I’d say shit loud ‘n proud … back in the day when nobody cared or noticed. And by back in the day, am referring to the late 70’s to the mid 80’s … spewing “that’s retarded” or “that’s gay” was commonplace … flowing freely from my mouth like the River Jordan, AND I never thought twice ’bout saying it … NOW, in this-twisted-2013-weird-world-am-warily-politically-correct-of-these-words, these phrases out in public. First, I survey with my eyes making sure no one’s within earshot before speaking, like I’m breaking the law if caught. Is only a figure of speech folks so simmer down! No harm intended, not meant as an attack … personally, or towards ANY group … NEVER thought one day I’d be sitting dissecting the fuck outta it either?! Much ado about nothing!

Jesus Christ, why don’t you come save my life now?

Choices always were a problem for you
What you need is someone strong to guide you
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
What you need is someone strong to guide you
like me, like me, like me, like me

If you want to get your soul to heaven
Trust in me now you don’t judge or question
You are broken now but faith can heal you
Just do everything I tell you to do

Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
What you need is someone strong to guide you
Deaf and blind and dumb and born to follow
Let me lay my holy hand upon you

My Gods will becomes me
When he speaks he speaks through me
He has needs like I do
We both want to rape you

Godzilla, no shit!!

Driving the other night on the 401, a grey Nissan GT-R flew by … he was three lanes over, and when he gunned it, I said, “there goes Godzilla” … we kept jockeying back and forth, separated by those lanes, but I always had him in my sights. Ten minutes later, and many kilometres too, he came up beside me in the adjacent lane, and I couldn’t fucking believe it … it ACTUALLY was Godzilla … the plate read GODZILLA … it was then I lost him, or so I thought, but further down the highway, I caught up, and came up behind. Now, I know this picture is blurry, and the glare of the flash hitting the windscreen filtering it even more doesn’t help (sidenote: as I clicked, the flash delay, I mean realizing it was going to flash, freaked me and my hand wavered, it was almost like I wanted to put my phone down, not wanting to be seen snapping a pic, lol), but THAT’S Godzilla, no shit!!

burning the midnight oil!

… after midnight, we’re gonna let it all hang down … they call me the midnight rambler … all I know is I just got home, it’s well past midnight, it’s been a LONG day … I’m tired as fuck, yet here I blog. Snapped this tonight, edited it on a few apps, think I have half a dozen versions … but something about photoshopping making me look like shit appeals to me. I think it’s my new favourite pic!!

Chimay Blue

Ordinarily you won’t find me driving 70 km … leaving the GTA for nuthin’ … ‘less it’s for some sweet stuff! Chimay Blue Cap qualifies. Been checking my LCBO app for days, and to my delight realized they were bringing it back, restocking it … seems to be either seasonal, or a one-off thingie. In any case, for three days straight kept showing zero inventory … till Thursday when 209 bottles became available (rubbing hands together) for the WHOLE province of Ontario … in ONLY two stores no less … one all the hell up in Orillia, ‘sup with that, lol?! A day later, the inventory shrank in half (almost) … only 128 bottles remained. Which brings us to today, Saturday … and me to Pickering … and from what remained on the shelves, just in the nick of time. An hour drive (each way)? Pshaw, ain’t nuthin’ … this boy’s a smilinghappycamper! 😀

Come to papa. My haul y’all …

Grilled Rainbow Trout!!

Greek style, my version at least. Bought four gorgeous fillets and laid them skin side down on heavy duty aluminum foil, seasoned them with sea salt, pepper, oregano, thinly sliced sweet onion, a bit of more seasoning, and finished by squeezing the juice from a lemon over top of it all. Using an equally sized piece of foil, I then covered it and folded the edges of both pieces together (making it airtight) and essentially created a pouch, which I threw on the hot grill. Now, while it’s more poaching, ’cause of being steamed in the pouch, I did manoever it over the hot coals to crisp the skin, as well as subtly infusing charcoal flavour … cooking it perfectly, if I do pat myself on the back saying so myself. Served with Boston lettuce, tomatoes, olives, and feta salad (and with pita bread and tzatziki – sorry, no pic), and drizzled with Acropolis (y’all must know the drill by now, lol), and you got yourself one helluva great Greek meal!
