Ugliness appears when you get drunk.

Comments like I'm tired of men wanting to be women, wearing makeup and appearing edgy. It's sad that there's judgment and homophobia underneath your surface.

Won't say it outloud

I hate that I'm white. The colonialism history, lack if understanding racism or difficulties locally or internationally, on top of being generally ignorant

How long till I croak

My health hasn’t been too good lately and sometimes, I’m not sure if I’ll even make it past my 40s. If let’s say, I die of a heart attack peacefully in my sleep, then so be it. I honestly don’t like the idea of getting old and gray, because that’s when the body starts to turn wrinkly and ugly. And I don’t like the idea of laying in a hospital bed with tubes up my nose or something like that. If I’m destined to leave this planet, then I’d rather go peacefully in my sleep. So be it then. Nope, it’s not suicidal ideations or anything.

A Simple Life

I hit retirement age a couple of years ago. Found out I have a terminal illness and decided to change how I live. I moved somewhere very warm all year with beautiful beaches. Got rid of my car. Started walking a lot. Eat less. No Alcohol. Less TV and internet. No social media. Etc. I feel amazing! I wish I had done this sooner lol.

Trashing our beautiful city

I admit that I absolutely hate how certain groups are trashing our beautiful city with all their sticky posters . Why do you insist on making this beautiful city look like a third world country ?

Done

Not going to spend any more time complaining to Translink about my overcrowded bus route. Overcrowding is happening on a lot of buses throughout the lower mainland and nothing is getting done. Just all talk and no action. Even if you complain to a customer service agent and they pass it on there’s really nothing they can do. The agents have no control over what the higher-ups do. They basically just get paid to sit in a call centre, give directions and listen to your problems over the phone. I’m done.

Don't drive your car to "car free" day.

I remember running an errand to Main St on a "car free" day. The side roads were completely clogged and traffic was at a standstill on these residential side roads. It entirely defeats the purpose. Take bus, skytrain, walk, ride bikes etc. but at all costs DO NOT DRIVE TO CAR FREE DAY. Thanks!

Please Don’t Tell

There is an abandoned K2 red telephone booth just off of Commercial Drive that sparks my imagination every time I see it. There needs to be a speakeasy on the other side of that booth just like the famous PDT in New York. There’s no hot dog joint, but I’ll take it. If we put a spin on it and had a Shuswap bannock joint I would be in heaven.

"That's it, I quit this band" moment?

It happened during practice when I strummed my guitar and the drummer who looked like she could pass for a grandmother expected me to slow down. Been playing guitar for over 20 years and some tired old fogey tells me how I should play. I felt belittled. Didn't like that, it got way too boring for me. So I simply left. Can't stay in any band unless your heart's content.

Wondering about an employer's rights to know my SIN number in order to complete a background check

I have not been hired yet by this company but they are asking me to provide my SIN number in order for them to complete a background check on me. They want to check my employment history, educational background, complete a criminal record check and find out what my credit score is. What are your thoughts on a potential new employer requesting to know your SIN number before actually hiring you?

I SAW YOU

Lunch at Las Margaritas

May 28th lunch at Las Margaritas, we both sat at front window tables. I was there with my friend,...
