Christmas

Hey guys, Christmas is right around the corner again and it's easy to see why so many people go bankrupt during the holiday season, with all the mall Santa's asking the children what they want for christmas, every store looking like Christmas Town from a child's cartoon, and parents running around trying to buy presents for their children, not just from themselves, but from the fat man too. Now don't get me wrong, I love Christmas, it's a time when families get together and make an effort to get along. It doesn't always go as planned though, sometimes all the effort in the world can't make a family get along, Like mine. My family is always getting in each others' faces and arguing over the stupidest things (like who gets which stocking), but once we start unwrapping the presents from under the tree, everyone gets along and everyone smiles (even my sister!). Christmas is a great time for shows like Americas Funniest Home Videos because almost every family could make an entire blooper-reel of holiday mishaps. Anyways, this is Tom Lucifer telling all you readers to have a very merry Christmas, and behave yourselves this year, okay? Happy Holidays.

Music Suggestions

So, I was sitting on a bus this morning because my bike's in the shop (broken fuel line or something), anyways, I could hear everyone else's music from their headphones and such, and I got to say that not a lot of people in Calgary listen to music that doesn't suck. So I thought, "what can I do to bring musical joy into the lives of my fellow Calgarians?" and then it hit me; "I'll make a list of songs I enjoy and recommend them to people on my blogsite!" So that is what I am doing now. So here it is folks, your Musical Wishlist of Joy (long name, I know. But it's worth it.):

Twitter

First there was FaceBook, then Twitter came along and people loved it. Now Twitter has taken the world by storm, people everywhere tweeting about this, that, and EVRYTHING in between (and I mean everything). Even famous celebrities tweet about their stupid lives. So I decided to try it: @Tom_K_Lucifer

I won't say it's great, but it's easier than FaceBook. Anyways, I'm Tom Lucifer saying: "If you visit my Twitter page, you'll learn my middle name. Or you can spend endless hours guessing, but it's easier just to go to my Twitter page." Peace Out.

P.s.: It's almost Christmas!

October

Well, this past weekend was Thanksgiving weekend in Canada, which is basically just another excuse for people to get drunk and act like a bunch of idiots. No, seriously though, Thanksgiving is a time for families to come together, have a good meal together, and reflect on what they're thankfull for. October is pretty much just Thanksgiving and Halloween, nobody even notices the rest of the month. Personally, Halloween is my favorite holiday of the year because it's the one time people can express what is on the inside through what they wear on the outside. Most other days, sure you can wear whatever you want, but it's not the same. On Halloween, no matter what you look like, people will accept you.

Been A While

Hey, people. How's it going? Good. So, you may have noticed that I've been away for a little while, or you may not have noticed, but if you did... I'm back. Anyways, now that that's out of the way... Let's talk about something: How many of you are actually getting a full night's sleep? I'm conducting a survey to find out why people don't receive a full night's sleep each night, so if you know or have an idea as to why your not sleeping at night, I'd love to hear about it. I myself have trouble sleeping sometimes, actually most nights, and one the reasons I don't get a good night's sleep is because I can't sleep where it's not peaceful, so as long as I'm in the city, I have to have music playing in the background to create a seemingly peaceful environment in whatever room I'm sleeping in. If any of my readers find this technique helpful, feel free to use it, I am always happy to help.

German Screamo???

Okay, so here's the scoop: A lot of people listen to this music called "screamo," it's basicly a bunch of bands making music by screaming, rather than singing. Now, I listen to a lot of music, including rock, metal, punk, and screamo. So I know good music when I hear it. I know bad music when I hear it too, like Justin Bieber. Last thursday, my sister comes up to me, hands me a disc and basically says: "here, listen to this, you might like it." So, I figure why not, I mean it can't be worse than Justin Bieber. So I pop it into my radio and, at first I thought I was listening to somebody retching and burping to a pretty nice beat. After about three songs, I realized that it wasn't retching or burping, but somebody singing screamo. In German! I was quite suprised, and yet, it sounded really good. Personally, if you like good heavy metal music, you should go onto youtube, and search: We Butter The Bread With Butter. Great band, the videos posted by user WBTBWB888 are especially high quality. So, this is Tom Lucifer, saying: "If you like good music, listen to W.B.T.B.W.B."

LIFE

"Life, is it the beggining or the end?" Someone asked me this question yesterday, and i had no idea how to answer that... I've just never thought of it like that before, I mean, if a random person on the street walked up to you, and asked if life was the beggining or the end, what would you say? Readers, please comment with your answer, thank you.

Best Camping Trip Ever

Okay, alright, this weekend i went camping out in Kananaskis. It was cold, it was raining, and i wasn't complaining. I spent most of the time with a group of really awesome people, we had some good food, good accommodations, and overall, some good times. When we first arrived, we ditched our packs and shit, had some coffee, went for a hike, and had some fun in a random-ass river. Later that same evening, me and a bunch of the guys went outside for a game of soccer. Right after we get out there, it starts raining, but only a little bit. We didn't care went right on with the game, the rain got gradually worse and worse, until we had no choice but to wrap it up and go inside. We ate some good dinner, had a funny incident with tofu and chicken, played a game of charades, (during which we learned Tyler cannot do "Window"), and got a good night's sleep. Next morning, we were all up at 8:00, ready for breakfast and the day ahead. After we ate, we piled our shit together outside, and went for a hike in the woods. Then we checked out an old WWII P.O.W. camp, learned some history (Blech), had some lunch, got our shit on the bus, and started the long trip back to Calgary. Sound like fun? It was... Until the day after we get back, when i figure out i got a cold from playing soccer in the rain. This is Tom Lucifer saying: "That was one helluva trip, mate."

Guess what? It's Friday!

Now, before any of you readers say anything about that stupid Friday song, let me make my opinion of that song clear: I believe that Justin Beiber was worse than the H1N1 flu, and that this song is worse than Justin Beiber. Is that clear enough? No? Didn't think so, let me elaborate: If this Friday song gets any more popular, I predict that the mass suicide rates will skyrocket. Meaning, more and more people would commit suicide until there was nobody left to hear that dreadful song. Now, to those of you who ENJOY the Friday song, I do not intend to offend, I am only trying to save the people of this world from skyrocketing suicide rates. This is Tom Lucifer saying: "Thank you, and have an amazing Friday."

Easter

You all know that the Easter long weekend is just around the corner, and if your like me, you're excited to get the break off work, or school. In all reality, Easter was originally a Christian holiday. Today, however, it is mainly considered a break from work for most people, and for most small children, it is considered as the day when the Easter Bunny comes and leaves chocolate eggs for them to enjoy. Personally, I think that the image of a giant rabbit hopping around, crapping in my house, is repulsive at best. Now, I don't intend to offend, but if this article has in any way offended anybody, feel free to comment below. This is Tom Lucifer saying: "Hurray for Easter long weekend, the only no-exceptions friday/monday off work and/or school."

Women

The number of things women do wrong suprises me daily, so I thought to share a few with you people of the internet world.
Number one: Talking too much. I'm not even kidding, and y'all know it, women have this tendency to not shut up. Ever.
Number two: Always thinking men have feelings. We don't. And if we did, we wouldn't share them any-how.
Number three: Never buying just what they need, but everything else as well. They all do this, I'm not kidding, I've witnessed it on multiple occassions. You send them with a list, and they come back with like, sixty other things.
Number four: They wear clothes. Haha, I'm just kidding, everybody has a right to cover-up, and a right to show cleavage as they wish.
Number five: They don't make enough sandwiches. It's true, we all know it guys.
Number six: They don't seem to know when something is a man's job, and therefore should be done, by a man.
Number seven: I actually don't have a nuber seven, but I think six is enough...
Anyways, men have just as many (if not twice as many) short-comings, so believe me when I say that there is no offence meant, and hopefully none taken. Hope y'all have a good day, good night, and a good life as well.
I'm Tom Lucifer saying: "Farewell for now."

New Business???

Lately I've been thinking of opening my own therapeutical business, but I'm having troubles getting it off the ground. First: I don't have enough funding, and second: I don't know anybody that would seriously, and honestly, want to be my first client. With these problems floating around my self-employment, I have been avoiding actually considering that option and just reading up on Existential Psychology, something I would like to incorporate into any future therapy sessions, and what-not, that I shall lead, or perceive. I am also looking for advice on how to start a small business such as the above mentioned, as well, I am looking for people within the area of N.E. Calgary that would like to participate in the pilot-project of my business. All clientele are accepted without jurisdiction and/or restrictions. I will be accepting any applications from clientele via comments on this Blog. Thank you for all your care and support, until next time: I'm Tom Lucifer saying: "I need you to help me help you."

Bus Drivers

Have you ever had to stand outside in the cold waiting for the bus, and when it gets to your stop, it just drives right by? I have. Have you ever just missed your bus and had to chase it half-way down the street? I have. Have you ever thought to yourself: "I wish the goddamn bus would hurry up"? I have. These are just some of the events regarding bus drivers that motivated me to writing this blog. I am sick and tired of the goddamn buses always driving by without stopping, ignoring the people trying to catch up to the bus, and everything else they do to piss people like me off! Every morning people catch the bus to go to work, school, or wherever else they're trying to go. And every morning, dozens of people are left standing at bus stops swearing, stomping, and generally taking their frustration out on the people around them. This issue has been a problem for quite some time now, and the city keeps getting new buses, but not new DRIVERS, and it's the drivers that are the problem, not the riders or the buses, but the drivers. Personally, I could care less either way, but there are people in this world that need to catch their buses on time in order to get to work on time, and these people are being left behind at their bus stops while bus drivers drive on by, not paying attention to the people waiting to get on the damned bus. I'm not worried though, I mean, if I really wanted to, I could ride my Harley to school as well as work, but I have issues with people fuckin' with my bike, so I leave it at home. This is Tom Lucifer saying: "If your gonna take the bus, be prepared to wait."

2012

We hear all this news about how the worlds gonna end in 2012, but we heard the same bullshit story about the year 666, Y2K, and all the rest of the shit. No matter how y'all look at it, it's still just a bunch of conspiracy theorists spouting sentimental bullshit to scare the crap out of everyone else. Now, for those of you who DO believe the world will end on December 21 of 2012, I'm sorry for harshin' on your mellow, but I do believe it's a load of shit. We asked a few commoners what THEIR views on 2012 were, and here is what they had to say:
SPEAKER 1 said:

"i think that its a possibility... the world wont end... maybe ragnarok will happen, maybe the planets will align and the Gods will come down, or up in some cases, and destroy those who are not the way they should be... or the world will have lots of disasters and only a few people will survive and a new civilization will be born"

SPEAKER 2 said:

"it's stupid"

These are two very different opinions, and side-by-side, they both look pretty wierd. Now in my opinion, whether the worlds gonna end or whatever, we should all be partying, getting smashed, doin' "the wild thing", and overall just having a good ol' time. Who's with me?
This is Tom Lucifer saying: "Lets get drunk!"

Japan

We've all heard the news about japan:

"Japan was hit by one of the largest earthquakes ever recorded on March 11. The magnitude-9.0 quake spawned a deadly tsunami that slammed into the nation's east coast, leaving a huge swath of devastation in its wake. Thousands of people are dead and many more are still missing or injured."

But what exactly are people doing to help? The answer is not a whole lot. People watch the disaster unfold on T.V., but they don't actually DO anything about it! There is lots of things we COULD do, lots of things we think we SHOULD do, but do we actually DO any of those things? Most of the time, no.
Japan has often donated when other countries have experienced disasters, such as when hurricane Katrina impacted the United States. But now, in THEIR time of need, where's everyone else? At home watching the disaster on T.V. while Japan suffers. Here are a few examples of orginizations and charities that are trying to help Japanese survivors:

AMERICAN RED CROSS: Emergency Operation Centers are opened in the affected areas and staffed by the chapters. This disaster is on a scale larger than the Japanese Red Cross can typically manage. Donations to the American Red Cross can be allocated for the International Disaster Relief Fund, which then deploys to the region to help.
GLOBALGIVING: Established a fund to disburse donations to organizations providing relief and emergency services to victims of the earthquake and tsunami.
SAVE THE CHILDREN: Mobilizing to provide immediate humanitarian relief in the shape of emergency health care and provision of non-food items and shelter.
SALVATION ARMY: The Salvation Army has been in Japan since 1895 and is currently providing emergency assistance to those in need.
AMERICARES: Emergency team is on full alert, mobilizing resources and dispatching an emergency response manager to the region.
CONVOY OF HOPE: Disaster Response team established connection with in-country partners who have been impacted by the damage and are identifying the needs and areas where Convoy of Hope may be of the greatest assistance.
INTERNATIONAL MEDICAL CORPS: Putting together relief teams, as well as supplies, and are in contact with partners in Japan and other affected countries to assess needs and coordinate our activities.
SHELTER BOX: The first team is mobilizing to head to Japan and begin the response effort.

If anybody has any more hesitations, imagine you sold everything you ever had, bought ocean-front property, and then it all got washed out to sea in a gigantic wave. Now ask yourself: Would you want help rebuilding your life?

Tiger Blood

Charlie Sheen says that he has tiger blood, that it is running through his body. Now I wasn't too sure what tiger blood really was, so i asked a professional: So what is tiger blood, exactly?

"It's just the blood that happens to run through a tiger's body. Oh, and it's also the name of a brand of anabolic steroids used to build muscle."

  Wow. So, Charlie Sheen is taking steroids??  Now I'm REALLY confused. Now, I'm not exactly an animal LOVER, but i do think that the tigers need some recognition. I mean, howw they must feel, being related to Charlie Sheen and all, whew. I know I couldn't handle it. Anyways, I asked the professionals how those poor tigers felt about all this: How do the tigers feel about all this?

"Not great, probably. At least the people who care about tigers don't seem very happy about the comparisons. When we first e-mailed Luke Hunter, he told us, "It's so bizarre and such a distraction it's really not worth the time to chat. Charlie Sheen can talk all he wants about having tiger blood, but the sad truth is illegal poaching around the world is putting this magnificent creature at serious risk of extinction in the wild. Comments like Sheen's do nothing to help save tigers." They also don't seem to be doing very well for Charlie Sheen. We think."

Okay, now I feel REALLY bad for those poor little tigers, don't you?  Anyways, until next time, I'm Tom Lucifer saying: "Leave the poor tigers alone Sheen, they're already related to you, don't you think that's bad enough?"

Over-religious

We've all met those people that go door to door, trying to sell their religion. Nobody likes these people, nobody listens to these people, nobody even wants to LOOK at these people. So why are they still here? Why do these people INSIST on coming to my door, asking if I've "seen the light", and knocking AGAIN after I slam the door in their stuck-up, catholic faces? It's ridiculous how damn stubborn these people are, it's plain lunacy, that's what it is. I mean, I'll tell these people I'm a Satanist, and they STILL come knocking on my door, asking if I've "seen the light"! It's getting retarded, like, give it up already, I don't give a hell-forsaken SHIT about your "god"! That's all for now folks, until next time: I'm Tom Lucifer, saying "Leave me the fuck alone with your stupid religious crap."

Charlie Sheen: Bi-Winning???

So everyone's heard about Charlie Sheen saying how he's not bi-polar, he's bi-winning, but is he REALLY winning ANYTHING right now? I asked around, and general consensus is that the only thing he's winning is the title of "complete psycho". Anyways, I'm not trying to bash Charlie or what-not, personally I like the show he formerly acted on: Two And A Half Men. It is actually rumored that a woman Charlie slept with gave HIM the nickname: Two and a half men. I'm sure y'all can guess why that is... Ha-ha-ha. Until next time, I'm Tom Lucifer, saying "calm down Charlie Sheen, there're enough crazy people out there already."

Weather

Anybody ever been to Calgary? Big city, lots of people, shitty weather, walmart, etc. When i say "shitty weather", I don't just mean rainy or snowy, I mean weather so nice you're too hot in your underwear one minute, and next thing you know, it's minus 30 and SNOWING! Now I don't mean to offend, but seriously, who puts up with this shit??? Not me, that's for sure. I'd much rather be somewhere permanently warm, like Hawaii, or Cuba, maybe even Mexico, anywhere but here. Alright, I think I've said enough, so see y'all next time, Peace Out.

school: worst idea of all time

I'm in school. And, as I'm sure many of you reading this know, school is boring. It is mind-numbing, brainwashing, and over-all, not preparing us for REAL LIFE. In school we learn about all this random crap that we are never going to need anywhere except IN SCHOOL. I mean, if we were going to be in a classroom learning shit all our lives, yeah, this stuff would be useful to know. But in the REAL world, people go to school for about 12-19 years, and most people live a lot longer than 12-19 years! Now i know y'all might think that I'm just ranting randomly, but I'm serious! Think about it, do you really NEED any of the stuff you learn in school? Not really.
