Yesterday, I got a telephone call from a good friend of mine. For privacy’s sake, I am going to leave his name out of it. However, he called me because he got a call from the evil people at Alberta Bible College. They asked Gary to tell me to take down what I have written about Alberta Bible College. Much like other kinds of con artists, the directors at Alberta Bible College want to remove the proof that they are involved in fraudulent activity. They do not want the truth to be broadcasted that I was screwed and lied to at Alberta Bible College. They are afraid that what I have written will actively alert people of the corruption at Alberta Bible College. I will evaluate why this is a con and what I intend to do. (more…)

I’m not going to sugarcoat the truth or lie about things. The people who read my blog day in and day out know that I am not one to lie or falsify reality. But recently, Becca had made the decision to end our relationship as boyfriend and girlfriend. I wish her well in all that she does and I’m just happy that she treated me with the respect and dignity I deserve. She didn’t lie to me or deceive me like Miranda did. Or like Chelsea did. But I am not happy about the situation at all. In fact, I am quite unhappy because I had high hopes for this relationship. (more…)

When I was about to go take a shower today, I noticed that my stomach is a bit bigger than I’d like to see. This means that I am going to have to start eating better. But of course, there is also the poverty diet that I am currently going through. Therefore, I am going to try to cut down on drinking soft drinks and start drinking juices instead. I am going to try more healthy alternatives to the snacks I love and of course, I might save some money in the process. On top of that, when I am not talking with my girl online or assisting a client, I will run or do some sort of physical activity and I will do it more often. There are a bunch of reasons why but only one actually stands out: (more…)

I just got the notice that tomorrow, I will not have a place to live. This sucks immensely because I am going to have to see if I can crash with a friend and work my ass off doubletime to ensure that I get enough money to make the rent for another place here in Calgary. That is going to suck immensely but it does give me new opportunities to find a new place. Plus, there were things about this place that made me cringe. Mainly, the biggest things were the the landlord, how EVERYTHING broke quite easily/never worked in the first place, the rules, the interruptions in the operation of vital services (the two biggest being water and electricity) and of course the quality of roommates. I will address each of the issues below: (more…)

A friend of mine back in the states is a member of the Marines and unfortunately, his sister does not want to hear about how the United States military is corrupt. While I would normally stop talking about this and just shut up, Nate is a good friend of mine. I cannot see him serving in the US military because he’s just too good of a human being. The US military is so very corrupt and that is because it is currently run by a very corrupt administration. But with people like Nate’s sister unwilling to look at the problems in their public servants, just because it might put their family in a bad light, this creates a lot of problems. (more…)

I am working on a community of all my sites and I am working on the THL community and I wonder - should I review my community management practices? I mean, I want to make sure that the community respects the admins but I also want to make sure that the admins EARN respect through their actions and practices. I have decided to outline a couple of my core beliefs for a community to function and I hope to govern and live by them. Besides, I would not want to be like a certain admin. (more…)

I hate the idea that people make resolutions that they have no intention of keeping only when the earth’s odometre rolls over. It seems that it is enough to make people believe that they have a new lease on life. Personally, I believe the route of change should happen throughout the new year, especially when one realizes it is needed the most. However, I have reviewed what I want out of life and this is what I have come up with:
- Gain a bit more notoriety on the web/in my new home - I would like to be as big as Bryan Veloso, Mr. Fab or Shaun Inman. My weblog has been getting a bit more activity since I have been writing more often and using traffic services like BlogMad, but that is not enough. I need to do more to get my name out there. I would also like to be recognized in Calgary for my blog so I am also going to write replying to more local news.
- Finish up Blackthorne - Blackthorne (for the uninitiated) is a themeset that I have been working on for the past month. I am confident that I can get it done and coded before February 14th, especially since I cannot afford the bus pass for this month so my mobility is going to be dramatically hindered. Doesn’t mean that I can’t go to crowfoot and cash in my bottles to buy bus fare to get to the college to return some books. I should probably do that on Wednesday though, it will save time and money in the long run.
- Get into a serious relationship - I would like to get into a serious relationship. Need I say more?
- Fully convert to Buddhism - I would like to convert to Buddhism and seek a path of reason and truth. Right now, I could still be considered a Christian that just doesn’t go to church. I would like to be so much more than that and I would love to convert to Buddhism so I can clean my mind of my past practises and strive toward a brighter future.
- Get my work permit - Nicholi, if you are reading this, please submit your company to Alberta Registries. Now.
Those are my five new years resolutions. This is what is truly important to me right now and I would personally like to thank you for reading through my sappy drivel but hey, it was enough to spice up my life.

Okay, as of this week, Saddam Hussein was executed in Iraq by the gallows. I am not too happy about this, considering that it was televised and it was a murder. Not only did they violate Saddam Hussein’s rights as a human being but he should have been executed in private so that he could at least go with a bit of dignity. People on death row in the United States are usually alone or with those that they select to be in the viewing room when they are to be executed. Two wrongs do not make a right and murdering Saddam Hussein was not right, because all it does is increase the blood on our hands.
It is never right to take another human life. No matter how bad they were, it is not right to take away their life. And for people to be cheering at the death of another human being is just disgusting and wrong. Would you want people cheering at your funeral? If you were being executed with the death penalty, would you want all those who hated you, your exes and everyone that stand against you cheering on the executioners in the waiting room? How can people possibly cheer at this?

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.

Talking with Mr. Pringle today got me thinking about how well the school takes freedom of speech. The college is actually very hypocritical and I know at least one person that sees this as well. My blog is a mind dump, more or less. You can write about the things that are going on in your life and it helps you feel much better. When comments come, it makes you feel that you are not alone in the struggle that is life. It is a slice of my life that not everyone sees and they get to view the world that I live in a little differently.
I don’t blog about anything, or share opinions, that I wouldn’t feel happy talking about up on a stage in front of friends and strangers. This is why I am not anonymous nor do I wish to be. My name IS Kyle Korleski (no, that is not a pen name) and I live in Calgary, Alberta for the time being (if I were to move, it’d definitely be to Halifax or Vancouver). I have a loud, outspoken attitude that some people find to be very acidic. I’d love to be stopped and told how much my blog rocks/sucks. I love writing this blog because it gives me a chance and a forum in which to vent my anger, disgust and discontentment with the world, while at the same time celebrating the wonderful things that happen in my life. It is very nice to actually get comments on this blog, and no, the viagra spam comments do not count in this. (more…)
