The New iPhone 5

The new iPhone 5 has now been announced and will come out shortly for sale. I for one am not impressed! Apple has taken over 1 year get on the new 4G LTE network, a feature that Samsung has had for over 1 year! There is not much difference between the 4S and the 5, they look similar. What have they changed really! When you think about it is not much! So it’s a little faster, brighter, taller, so what! That sounds like an upgrade to me now a new phone entirely! I was very disappointed, I expected more, much more! I see no reason why to upgrade to this new phone, plus now I have to go out and by a new case and other accessories because my current one won’t fit the new iPhone, Yay!! Thanks Apple! I will not be upgrading to the new iPhone 5 if and when I do upgrade I think I will upgrade to a Samsung.

Wild Wings - has no coffee!!!

So I'm with my cousin at the Wild Wings at MaCowan and Finch and I have just gotten the biggest shock of my life!! Wild Wings does not, NOT, serve coffee. Are you kidding me, coffee is the number 1 hot drink of choice in Canada! Coffee is a multi Billion dollar market, there are over 100 million cups of coffee served daily. I have been a coffee drinker my whole life and in my Spanish tradition I like a cup of coffee after a meal especially dinner. But at Wild Wings I cannot have this because they do not sell coffee here! They don't care how important coffee is to some cultures and people. I am completely and totally disgusted at the lack of caring by this supposed establishment in their lack of hot beverages on the menu. Even the most ghetto cheap ass place in the dumpiest earea of Toronto has a coffee make and serves a passable cup of joe to their patrons. These clueless American chains don't care or know what our Canadian tastes are, this is the second time I came to a Wild Wings and this is the second time these soulless people hugely disappoint me. This is the only American chain that does not serve coffee! In a Canada where the vast population drink coffee as a number 1 choice of hot beverage. I want to say that is will be the last time I am going to be sorely disappointed by these people but I have a feeling that it won't. For now I want to end this by saying I hate the fact that there are foreign establishments like this Wild Wings in my country not serving the food I love, drink, and expect. They have violated my chooses as a consumers, my rights as a Canadian, and most of all my dignity as a human being!!

I recently had the opportunity to visit the West Edmonton Mall. For those of you that may not know this, the West Edmonton Mall is considered among the largest malls in the world. With over 200 store, shops, and attractions like an indoor wave pool and theme park. The mall boasts the largest parking lot in the world with room for 20,000 vehicles. I was there on a Saturday and it took me almost 25 minutes to find a parking space, I wanted to get a locker to put my personal item into it but I could not get one as all the lockers in the whole mall were being used. Getting around the hallways was exiting as they were packed with shopper, on looker and visitors like me. I must, however, express my disappointment when I actually saw the sheer size of the mall. I was expecting something on a more grandiose scale instead what I got was a larger version of every other mall I had been too. I am sure that when you count by square footage the mall is huge, but the actual shopping part of the mall is in my opinion rather ordinary. All in all I was quite happy to have visited and will very likely visit again. I simple expected more than what I got.

Movember

Movember is a charity event that takes place in November to raise awareness and funds for prostate cancer and research for other types of men’s cancer.

It is a worthwhile cause, were you sign up the Movember website to become a MoBro then you grow a moustache for the whole month. Hopefully your friends and family will sponsor you and your moustache to help support the cause plus you just may look snazzy with a moustache or like a 70s porn star. In either case the whole event is to bring awareness to prostate cancer and the different cancer that can afflict men, as it is so like men to be shy, quite, or reserve when dealing with their health.

I am going to grow a moustache the whole month to help the charity event.

Remembering 9/11

Today is the 10th year annaveristy of the tragic events that unfolded dring the early morning hours of September 11th 2001.

I remember like it was yesterday when and where I was when I hear the new. Just a day earlier on September 10th I was flying from Toronto to Los Angeles, the morning of the 11th I was driving down Mexico for a visit with some family when I hear over that the boarder was closed, which was very odd. Then over the radio I heard the news, at first I thought it was a joke, until I came home and watched the news for my slef and saw the events unfolding before my very eyes.

There were many innocent lives lost that day, in a cawordly attck by a group of maniacs whom I know are burring in hell! There are no words that can describe the barbarism that these people committed that day! All I can pray for are the families that must live with this tragedy, my heart breaks for them. No legal system on earth can bring them justice for what has happened!

Today we remember the victims, and the fallen heroes! We will never forget that scarifie and their bravery. May their memorie live on.

Canada Day!

It’s that time of year again when in Canada we have a big party to celebrate the birth of our Nation.
This year Canada turns 144 years young, Happy Birthday Canada!

I am proud to call this beautiful land home, for all my life I have lived here; I have traveled my great country from coast to coast and I have come to one conclusion my home is beautiful.
In Canada we have 6 different time zones, 10 Provinces, 3 Territories, and 2 controlled Territories. Canada is the second largest land mass in the world, bordering 3 Oceans and 2 continents.

In our young 144 year history we have been built a Nation of proud people with a rich history of culture a diverse racial background all blended together to form the tapestry of our Great Land. We Canadians are as diverse as the Land we walk on but together we have built a strong, prosperous, wealthy, ingenious, brave, and caring Nation.

I plan to celebrate the birth on my country in none other than in the Capital City of Canada – Ottawa. It’s a whole day long celebration with performances from Canada’s top artist, speeches from all levels of Government, and even a Royal Visits from members of Canada’s Royal Family.
Imagine a party that takes place in the whole city, where the roads become walkways and one million people come to party!

This July 1, 2011 will be another Happy Canada Day as my fellow Canadians and I celebrate the birth of our Great Nation!

Happy 144th Birthday Canada!

I’m Back!

It has been a while since my last blog, I know. I have been out of the social networking seen for a little while but I am back.

That is it for now but I am going to keep my post regular.
