The Darkest Evil

Yesterday, I went down to the Bottle Depot in Crowfoot and cashed in all my soda bottles. Fortunately, I recieved just enough money to pay for a slurpee at the 7-Eleven in the Ranchlands. That is a rare treat for a couple of reasons. Mainly because I believe that purchasing soft drinks is much cheaper and I feel that I shouldn’t have too much of them due to the fact that it will become like other junk food items. I am not too big a fan of potato chips anymore and I am not a big fan of many items of junk food. However, I still LOVE fast food and I always have a craving for fries and Timbits. (more…)

If you read my post yesterday, you would know that I had a copy of Windows to return to London Drugs today. Well, guess what? They would not allow me to return it. Fuckers. It appears as if I have to beg Nicholi for a small pay advance (actually it would be a loan, seeing as I am getting the money soon, just not before it’s due) on my rent while I scramble to collect the rest of it. However, I know one thing is for certain, London Drugs has lost my business indefinitely.

I like to online shop. That’s because I hate waiting forever for a bus to come and take me to the LRT station so I can head on down to Chinook to purchase a DVD. I would much rather purchase one online but there is one factor that prohibits that. When I want something, I usually want it now and not in a few days. This is unfortunate because I am certain that Amazon.ca has a bit more credibility than London Drugs. And it is unfortunate that they have decided to violate their own guarantee, the guarantee on the packaging AND federal law.

However, I take solace in the fact that not all business are as bad with customer service as London Drugs or Subway are. MediaTemple, my current web host, gave me $40 in credits to my account for the outages in November. I am happy that at least THEY know how to act honourably.

I have to find a way to make $450 quickly so I can afford the rent this month. It is getting to be so costly. In fact, I am kind of afraid to ask Shush for a small extension on my rent so I can make the date. I am so tired of this shit. I guess the only way I am going to catch up is by becoming an agent for something like the Sunflower Network. Also, Nicholi is still having trouble registering the non-profit with registries so I can’t apply for my work permit yet. Plus, I don’t have the $150 fee for the work permit. I mean, I don’t see why people wouldn’t want to loan me the money for that. As soon as I get it and Nicholi gets the non-profit registered, I will be able to pay back the loan. After all, I would have a job. I need to get $75 together also to renew my bus pass for next month. Otherwise, I will probably be stuck in this house. Plus, I need the money for the pass before the 10th of next month.

I have this copy of Microsoft Windows that I have not installed on my computer but is opened. Tomorrow, I am going to try to return it at London Drugs tomorrow. I am tired of just skating by each month and plus, I have very little money to eat on so I am screwed on that end. What a shame too, considering I have been craving Taco Bell for the longest time. Plus, I want to get some of those Moo.com cards and I would like to get my phone line moved over here. I am also having my copy of Poser 7 returned so I can have $250 USD transferred into Canada. Plus, I am begging the owner of the Sunflower Network to allow me to work on that project as soon as possible. I will probably offer to redesign their website for them for free.

Okay, what the hell is the purpose of Boxing Day now? I just don’t get why we need to extend the holidays well past Christmas. Christmas is already hell because I either have to spend time with family or have to spend it with no one at all. I would like to have a girlfriend or a fiancée during the holidays or someone that just gives a damn. I know that the Boxing Day is comparable to Black Friday in the United States.

I’ve never liked the holidays. Christmas is where you receive gifts that give you some kind of indication what your family members and friends think and feel about you. Like, the time that I got a basketball for Christmas from my Aunt Heather and Uncle Johnny. What the fuck? A basketball?!? I am hardly the person that should receive something like that. Also my mother gave me a paintball gun last Christmas just because I used to go paintballing with friends from church. I know that I could not import a paintball gun at the time I entered Calgary and the CO2 tank into Canada. I entered when they had that ban against cremes, foams, fluids, aerosols and other gels. I know I would have to end up purchasing another one, once I land in this country. And possibly, I would probably have to get a rifle licence from the Canada Firearms Centre.

I hate the fact that stores close early on Christmas Eve and Boxing Day. I wanted to get a sandwich from Safeway and I would love to get one because I am so hungry. I don’t have the ability to get some food in this damn city. Even Co-op is closed!

Dusten may have been annoying as hell, but at least he isn’t as bad as Doug is. Just so you know, Doug is the person doing the construction work in the house and he may very well be living here once the construction is complete. Basically, he has a VERY short fuse. And unfortunately, it does not appear that Shush (my landlord) will be getting rid of him any time soon. This is a bummer because he is a real douche bag.

However, my other two roommates are really great. Huda barely says a word and keeps to himself, but what little I see of him - he is friendly. And Rob is a very nice and understanding guy. He even took my HP Pavilion laptop off my hands. How about that, talk about nice. The only problem I see is Doug and I am hoping and praying that he really does get evicted. (more…)
