Enough is enough already !!!

Well it's been a hell of a long time since i did a blog,so here it is !

As well we all know Monday's are VC day for the Wii and like most of you i find what has come out on the VC right here at Gamespot.What really gets me is i find myself reading peoples post and comments about what games have come out and i really tired of seeing the majority of them being about how this weeks games suck,nothing good,i thought __________ was suppose to come out this week ect....I here to tell you all enough is enough already,Nintendo has thousands of potential games that can come out on VC,so give it up .You really think that all the best games are going to come out within the first few months or even years? of course not !!Just sit back and relax,check out a game that you have never heard of cause you never know you might find your self liking it !

Rememberance Day

ONLY 3 REMAIN.
3 OLD SOLDIERS.
OUR LAST LIVING CONNECTIONS TO THE GREAT WAR.
3 CANADIAN VETERANS OF WORLD WAR 1 ARE STILL ALIVE. BUT REALISTICALLY NOT FOR MUCH LONGER.
THEY ARE ALL WELL OVER A HUNDRED YEARS OLD.
THEY FOUGHT IN THE WAR TO END ALL WARS.
A WAR THAT CHANGED CANADA FOREVER. HISTORIANS TELL US OUR COUNTRY WAS BORN AT A PLACE CALLED VIMY RIDGE.
61 THOUSAND CANADIANS DIED IN THAT WAR. AN ALMOST UNTHINKABLE NUMBER. OUR COUNTRY WAS YOUNG AND SMALL.
YET WE EARNED OUR STRIPES , RESPECT AND OUR MEMBERSHIP IN THE WORLD COMMUNITY.
IT WAS AN IMPORTANT TIME FOR CANADA.
AND WE SHOULD HONOUR THE SACRIFICE MADE BY SO MANY.
THE DOMINION INSTITUTE IS PETITIONING THE HARPER GOVERNMENT TO COMMIT TO A FULL STATE FUNERAL FOR THE LAST OF WORLD WAR ONE VETS.
STATE FUNERALS ARE NORMALLY RESERVED FOR GOVERNORS GENERAL AND PRIME MINISTERS. BUT THIS WOULD BE A FITTING WAY TO HONOUR AN ENTIRE GENERATION.
YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT THIS AT DOMINION.CA
ON THIS REMEMBRANCE DAY 2006, WE SHOULD ALSO PLEDGE TO THE KEEP OUR HISTORY ALIVE.
TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR CHILDREN TO NEVER TAKE OUR WHAT WE HAVE FOR GRANTED. OUR WAY OF LIVING, OUR FREEDOM WAS PAID FOR IN BLOOD IN FAR OFF PLACES WITH NAMES SUCH DIEPPE, PASSCHENDAELE.
SO MANY DIED ...SO MUCH SACRIFICE FOR OUR FREEDOM TODAY.
KING GEORGE VI SAID THIS AT THE DEDICATION OF THE NATIONAL WAR MEMORIAL IN OTTAWA IN 1939 "WITHOUT FREEDOM THERE CAN BE NO ENSURING PEACE, AND WITHOUT PEACE, NO ENDURING FREEDOM" THOSE WORDS STILL HOLD TRUE.
IN FLANDERS FIELDS, THE POPPIES BLOW.
BETWEEN THE CROSSES, ROW ON ROW.
THAT MARK OUR PLACE; AND IN THE SKY
THE LARKS, STILL BRAVELY SINGING, FLY
SCARCE HEARD AMID THE GUNS BELOW
IT IS DISTURBING THAT OVER HALF OF YOUNG CANADIANS ARE UNAWARE OF LIEUTENANT- COLONEL JOHN MCCREA AND HIS TIMELESS MASTERPIECE.
WE MUST DO BETTER TO EDUCATE OUR CHILDREN AND SO THAT WE WILL ALWAYS HONOUR THOSE WHO WENT BEFORE US.

Always Remember !

Highway To Hell !

As many off you may know by now there was a structurel failure of an highway overpass in the city of Laval which is north of Montreal just over a week ago in which 5 people lost their lives and half a dozen or so injured when a 12mx20m section fell onto the highway below.

This part of the highway was built 36 years ago and was supose to last a total of 70 years.It's also not the first time that an overpass has colapsed in Laval,six years ago another overpass killing one person.

Now what really get me about the whole thing is why was there not more done to prevent this disasster.Because there were warning signs before the colapse.An hour an a half before the colapse a 911 call was made by someone informing that there were peices of concret falling from the overpass.Police answered the call and a road crew from transport Quebec removed the concret.Half an hour before the colapse "Inspectors" where sent to inspect the overpass and said that everthing was fine,Oops !

A second overpass on the same sretch of highway was closed as a procaution due to the fact that it constructed at the same time as the other one and was made from the same materials and has since been torn down.

Now drivers around Montreal and surrounding ares are keeping an eye as they drive under overpasses cause you never know if your entering the highway to hell!

Do the Mario !

[video=KiM7kDr85b0OvjA] To this day this song still cracks me up! I don't know why is it the lyrics or is it Capt.Lou A.K.A Mario dancing ? I'm not sure but it damn funny to me!

XBOX commercial

[video=IyMxn2D85bsIug] To this day this ad still makes me laugh. It's to bad for some odd reason it was banned in the UK and i'm not really sure why it was.I don't really see anything wrong with the ad.Do you ?

A hell of a time in Montreal !

The city of Montreal is full of action on a normal day with lots of stuff to do,but this week it has just been CRAZY ! Everyone has just has been going nuts in this city lately.Here's what i'm talking about.This past Wednesday and Thursday Madonna was in town (her only canadian dates) and the people have just been going nuts over the hole situation and for go reason people are saying it was a great show.Next up for the week-end ( actually the festivities started earlier in the week) it's the F-1 Grandprix  which has brought people from all around the world to catch the race, meet the drivers and to see their favorite cars like Ferrari,BMW,Honda ect.. and to visit the city.Also this week-end it's fete national which is a provincial holiday celebrating the french society here in Quebec.In the up coming weeks Montreal will be hosting its world renowned Jazz and comedy festivals.All in all it's a hell of a time in Montreal with people every were enjoying the hospitality and weather here in Montreal !

Addicted to Pawn Shops and E-bay !

In the last month or so i found my self being addicted to local pawn shops and E-bay in search for mostly older games on any of my consoles! The truth being that i'll buy what ever games i find doesn't matter.In the last month i have picked up about another 120 games for my NES,SNES,N64,PS,PS2 and Dreamcast.I just can't stop cause today i picked up 20 more games at a pawn shop for my PS2 and i just finished placing a order on E-bay for another 30 games!I'm i crazy for doing this and spending a butt load of money or is it cause i love playing my games ? You tell me!

I can't believe they made these games!

I'm trying to understand why a power house like EA Sports would have to make games that don't have that big of a game market to begin with. I know that some of you will not agree with me on some but games like NCAA college Basketball or football.Yeah i know that it's big in the states but only when it's bowl time for football and it's March Madness for basketball.What about Arena Football does anyone actually go to these games or watch it on T.V.? Then there is Rugby a game that is intended mostly for the european market.I almost forgot then there is Cricket.Come on do any of you play these games? I mean what's next The Highland Games on PS3 !
