My Home Sweet Home

So, I live in Edmonton. City of Cha...hahahaha...ok, I almost got through that without laughing. Let me start over;

I live in Edmonton. It's a city in Northern Alberta with a general population of around a million people, and for the most part, Edmonton is pretty cool. Well it used to be.

I should state, this blog is simply my opinion. I don't need anybody with a hard-on for Edmonton blasting me for insulting their baby. I'm simply stating my opinions of this city. A lot of my opinions on this blog are politically motivated. I like to be informed. I like to know what's going on around me. I pay attention to the city I live in. I'm not so much interested in worldwide politics, but hometown politics is something I'm all for.

So, again, like I've said, I live in Edmonton and for the most part, it's a pretty cool place to live. It's got weather that's been more tolerable than normal for the last decade or so, which has made it easy to enjoy the climate here. We have an NHL hockey team, which is like "sports crack" for Canadian sports fans. Even though they really fucking suck the last six seasons we still believe. 

So, why all the negativity you ask? Well its all around us. In 2011, I think the city took a turn in the wrong direction. For all of the things that were done right; such as expansions on the LRT and making that a huge priority, they did a billion things wrong.

Over the course of the blog, I will probably vent over a variety of topics as they become hot issues again, such as the new Downtown Arena, education, bylaws and any other stupid piece of legislation city council decides to throw our way. So that's why I kind of did a little chuckle during my initial introduction.

So if you like rage, keep tuning in. Like I said, this blog is therapy ;)
