Recent happenings, odds and ends

Let’s just say I performed at a great concert to start things off, then once it ended, all of the footage got stolen along with the camcorder. Big time letdown, and it sucked to lose some other footage I was supposed to upload the week prior. Replacement unit was acquired the next week, same make, different model.

I now have two lovely little kittens, which will grow up to be some nice kitties. The last time I had cats was over 18 years ago. Time for a change! I got plenty of video footage from the digital camera and camcorder to share once put together. They are adorable!

Besides that, I acquired another great device, a BlackBerry Passport. Handy, large enough and satisfying. Don’t need an android device due to the fact of having an xperia m4. S S have the best of both worlds. Efficiency, security and of course, play time. He he he.

In other not so odd news, my oldest, most used bike pumps recently stopped working a few days ago, so I did what I could to perform maintenance on it (you can practically take apart most of it), but it was no use, the air stopper flap or piece was torn, or worn out. But I have a spare pump thankfully, and the best part: The parts are interchangeable. Meaning I can replace anything worn out. Hose, Latch, gauge and valve!

Last but not least, if I intend to venture outside of Canada, that passport of mine needs renewal, otherwise I will be going through a ton of paperwork to apply for a new one. Don’t need that!

That’s about all I need to write about. It doesn’t really require a video blog, as some things just cannot be described in Video form. Cheers, thanks for giving this a read! My kitties say meow!

Conscience Coalition, another scientology front group

Just thought I would make a short, quick, brief post about this front group that tony ortaga of the underground bunker wrote about earlier today. The last thing the public needs, is to be deceived by yet another front group, however, this one is against vaccinations (which honestly, prevent the spread of infectious and contagious diseases).

Feel free to share this.

If you ever got pressured (or hounded) into applying for yet another job you’re not cut out for..

You meet with your siblings, (or other family members) and everything goes great until you find out that one of them has scheduled an interview or something without your express or prior consent, at a workplace which is completely out of your way. What the hell?

They tell you all about the work, how it’s done and what you’ll be doing there, however they already know (after you told them numerous times!) that you have a part/full time job.

They get angry and seemingly aggressive when explaining you already have a job (or two), and claim ‘well, you cannot afford anything, your rent/mortgage is behind, your bills are way over your head, you can’t budget and you are about to go bankrupt’, when their situation does not match yours at all. 

Funny thing is, I know how to budget, save up. Bills aren’t way over my head. They’re paid each month, on time. Rent is always paid (certainly isn’t $1500/month!),  Basic living expenses are managed accordingly, entertainment is allocated based on available funds.

I don’t drive a vehicle, I bike. Therefore don’t need to pay $500 + $800 for a car loan/lease payment per month, or $150-$200 for a tank of gas every few days, (your expenses, bills, etc. may be different). They just don’t get the fact that nobody’s situation is the exact same as theirs. They don’t respect anyone’s wishes.

If you encounter the same methods they used on me, just go to the job interview (as they purposely scheduled it, unless your work schedules you to work that day, don’t bother going to that interview), explain to the hiring manager, boss or management that you already work full time elsewhere and somebody was hounding you to apply. Thank them, walk out. Tell them you’ll just wait until the phone call comes, and let it go as that.

It’s the exact method i’ll be using, and I won’t by applying. I certainly do not wish to quit my job, only to no even last a week in an extremely fast-paced environment which has numerous slip hazards. I’m just not cut out for it. I tried it, got let go. Nearly injured myself skating across a greasy floor despite having the proper footware.

Unless I am in dire need for work, am in debt over my head and have a fucking horribly out of control budget, sorry, I will not apply for more work. I need time for myself to relax, exercise and get away from the chaos faced every day.

Thanks for reading.

Malicious false flagging strikes again to censor my rights and freedom of expression…

Yes, it costed me the 17th youtube channel, and I am not happy at all. This happened from august 29th to the 31st. I never violated the community guidelines OR the terms of use. I did not deserve any of that at all.
I thought this crap was over and done with, that the ‘dwellers moved on and got jobs or married to a wonderful wife and had kids of their own. I guess I was wrong, or one or more had an ugly divorse? Beats me

For now, instead of being able to meet those damn requirements to re-establish YouTube partnership, I have to start over again. Who knows how long that will take… Thing is, I am quite fucking disappointed in whoever did this shit.

I had a goal of using the “nickles” earned from the partnership to get a budget 4K camcorder, with 1080p or 720p high-speed recording function. Guess that is out the window! My goal was to be able to record in 2160p without using enhanced upscaling (which, to be honest, sucks garbage juice!).

I shall start over (since yesterday) and build it up again, in between work and life’s duties, to achieve that goal. Thanks for reading, and if you fell victim to the same shit, I feel for you. We aren’t alone.

Regarding how unsafe the roads are due to the plague of distracted/impaired motorists and lack of bicycle infrastructure

Yes, it’s been a good length of time since the last post I wrote… This time it is about the sheer number of impaired, distracted motorists. When I mean impaired, that includes intoxication by means of prescription medications (drowsiness), recreational use of drugs or narcotics, alcohol AND mobile devices (tablets, smartphones, smartwatches, etc.).

Those distract our attention, lead to a big number of accidents, collisions, serious/severe injuries, deaths/fatalities and disasters. Statistics do NOT lie. Vulnerable road users are common victims of these atrosities, which shouldn’t be happening at all. Where the fuck has vision zero gone to? What is happening and/or being done about these road deaths and violent happenings? Nothing it seems.

As for the motorists acting like they own every damn road on ontario or canada as a whole? No, that is not correct and totally wrong. The country and province, including every city and town, maintains and owns these roads. They are for all road users regardless of what method of transportation they choose to use, including that of myself, I choose to use a bike and have every right to use it.

Those that drive a vehicle weighing between 250 and 8,000 kilograms (kg), are licensed for a reason, and carrying a driver’s license is a priviledge, not a right. It can be taken away from them if they are criminally charged and caught, including accumulation of dermit points. Just remember that.

The greater toronto, durham, peel, york, niagara, hamilton, st catherines, burlington, guelph, cambridge, brampton, milton region/area also needs vastly interconnected bicycle infrastructure, be it bike lanes or cycle tracks. They can be on one or both sides of the road, and can be isolated with fencing or raised curbs (15 cm height, 1 meter gaps), and that definitely will cut down curb-side road maintenance in a big way.

That includes safer, people-friendly streets and protected intersections. Think of the world class cycling cities that made their streets safe for everybody regardless what mode of transportation they use. We can and have the will to do it, even the funding. Only problem is, the damn politicians. They need to get their heads out of their talepipes, step out of their vehicles and put their shoes on the pedals of a bike to see how badly these changes are needed.

Roads should be designed for all road users, not vehicles. It is just backwards if it’s done that way. It’s too inaccessible and dangerous.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and feel free to share it. Keep on riding, regardless who tells you not to. It’s your right, and they cannot do anything to change that.

Bike month 2018 and riding it up

Hello again, I haven’t written a damn thing for almost two years (or what feels like it), bike month is here, and finally took on and participated in two group rides, both critical mass! I didn’t get the ride on video (forgot the camcorder, shame!), however I did get some clips from my blackberry, so not all is lost. I didn’t think to take photos however, which would’ve been ten times better.

First of two group rides explored downtown toronto, the second ride went through the outer downtown core, along trails and ended at trillium bellwoods park. My back is tired and a bit sore, which I haven’t felt in a long time! It is the GOOD sore and tired, not the bad type. The first ride was mostly talks, however the second ride? Loads of music, colourful lights and of course, bikes!

Roads were closed for us, traffic blocked on-demand (with some resistance), it never felt better. My bike was complaining about the hills (it it’ll be in the shop by monday), and deliberately kicked the chain off a multitude of times. I didn’t give-in to it’s demands, and kept reseating the chain each time. Despite the minor inconvinience, there was stop-overs so everyone could regroup, take photos/record video and chill. I loved it.

Once I get my ride out of the shop, i’ll be sure to complete bike month, and should be in shame enough to take another ride to guelph, or cambridge, whichever I choose to go to, via lakeshore road and regional road 5 and 6.

All in all, happy bike day! Now get out and plant your ass on that bike at home and ride it! 😀

My response to Tide, or Procter and Gamble, ordering the REMOVAL of people’s videos eating pods

Yes, this is outright censorship. Since when has a corporation had the right to do something like this? It’s certainly NOT the first time this happened, and once something is published on the internet, it cannot be deleted. It shouldn’t be. No corporation should be able to do that, regardless how utterly stupid it is.

The video below (which has far more words than I can put here) is embedded from my channel on youtube, backups are on dailymotion AND viddler (below it under a heading). This is in case tide/proctor and gamble try to remove it using their draconian takedown demands.

Embedding from viddler seems to have become incompatible with wordpress, i’ll have to contact them and find out what’s going on. It’s been turned into a link until then.

Backups, obviously.

Scientology is only going to cause great harm to the community – Push them OUT of Guelph!

The cherch of scientology is already in the process of moving to guelph, fucking off out of toronto because of the deadness and deadbeat (lack of stats on thursdays @ 2pm SHARP), however we cannot let them take over the city or negatively impact/affect the community of people there. We don’t want a clearwater happening in a beautiful city in ontario!

So many people are vulnerable to this dangerous, misleading, misinforming, deceptive, lying and insidious cult; youth, senior citizens, anyone suffering from a mental illness/impairment (that is often invisible unless acting out), addictions to street drugs or narcotics such as opiates, or alcohol of any kind/strength.

The “free stress/capacity tests” are the bait and switch thing, and they are often meant to make people feel fucking horrible about themselves, such if somebody was suffering from depression or has emotional issues with a bad relationship’ this could drive them right to suicide! That is the LAST thing anyone needs to be told they are a terrible/horrible/bad person.

We need to also educate the people about scientology’s dozens of front groups! ABLE, Applied scholastics, Youth/united for human rights international, drug-free marshals/citizens for a drug-free world, CCHR (citizens commission on human rights), the way to happiness, narconon! The list goes on. These make zero mention of scientology at all!

All in all, the cult of scientology needs to be ejected from guelph, and proactive educating of the public would be the only way to ensure they stay out. These parasites will go to no end to try and recruit people. They want to rid your of critical thinking skills, job/employment, education, social skills, communication skills and anything you were taught in school! Nobody wants to be deprived of that. Nobody needs disconnection to break up their family and loved ones.

Sincerely, a very concerned citizen, who supports the city of guelph to get scientology OUT!
