seasons change

Tomorrow is the day all flames fans have been witing for since the tragic events of last year. the 2006/07 Season tickets go on sale. The addition of new members of the Calgary Flames as Alex Tanguay, Jeff Friesen and Andrei Zyuzin make their Flames debut. Also, goaltender Jamie McLennan returns to help run for the cup again this year. Sadlt I am unable to pertake in these but i will catch a few games this year, especially if they are against Edmonton, Colorado, or Anaheim. Got my jersey ready and i'll be pickin up a official one when the old bank account permits. probable a Iginla , Tanguay or Kiprusoff..who knows maybe I will get one with my name on it...who knows !!!!

What a wild ride

well well well..it was exactially 4 months ago today. April 16/ 2006 that I left the city of North Battleford and moved to the city of Calgary, Alberta. I can safely say that i absolutely love it here. ive done alot, seen alot and spent alot, well within reason of course. there are but 2 places here i have yet to goto. the top of Nosehill Park for the amazing view of the city and mountains, and the zoo. Im not much of a science buff but the zoo is something i want to see, well there is 1 creature there and thats the Grey Wolf. For those who know me, they know how much i loves wolves as some have seen what i have in the way of paintings and figurines. the zoo also has 2 things unique, first they have a live webcam on the osprey which is kind neat to watch if you have some free time, also a elephant named Kamala. recently one of her paintings sold for just under $1200 cdn ( 1,065.09 US or 835.78 Euros ) below are the links for the webcam and kamalas paintings. god i love this city !!!!

crazy weather and fun funfun

The last 24hrs have been full of such delights. NOT, heres the scoop. we had light rain, heavy rain, thunder, intense lightning and even golf size hail was reported in some parts of calgary. lightining started small fire on the roof of a home on Sienna Park Terrace N.W. after it was hit. The man living there was shocked while working at his computer when his home was struck.
In the southwest part of the city, the lightning punched a hole in the roof of a home in the on the 7500 block of Elkton Drive. In the northeast, lightning hit an open field at 11th Avenue and 84 Street. It also hit a tree in the vicinity of the Marlborough School. The storm also briefly knocked out electricity to Glamorgan, Glendale, Glenbrook and parts of Killarney. There was also flooding and hail in parts of the Lake Chaparral area you gotta love this crazy shit.

Tourism Plug

here it is august 2nd 2006 in the beautiful mountian city of Calgary and its a gorgeous day. to think it was 16yrs ago to day that Iraq invaded the country of kuwait kicking off Operations Desert Shield, Storm and Sabre. what people dont know is that Operation Desert Saber was the name ground war. mostly people talk about desert storm and shield. nice way to remember ones birthday. on a happier note i have something new to add to my dvd collection. "Pinky and The Brain Volume 1 " i am a huge fan and cant wait to watch it all, and with the week i have off from work due to a accident it should be fun. i took a palette jack to the chest while moving a bundle of cardboard, and ended up getting a brusied sternum with a hair like crack but its nothing major but i cant work due to the heavy loads that i deal with on a daily basis.

my belated bday present to my self is the new BLS cd "Shot to Hell" heres the 1st single link
