Freaking stupidity in downtown Toronto today. With the G20 going on, there were the usual protesters that don't harm anyone but in come these black bloc guys who are there just to cause problems and chaos begins. From what I've read and others have told me, some or most of these guys aren't even from Toronto and they're just there to cause a ruckus; randomly destroying crap.

hmm...if i put a wrestling boot on my fist does that qualify?


Offering a handshake then striking them with a chairshot when their back is turned is also acceptable.

phpBB [video]

Are you fucking kidding me? Fucking sissy fucks. :shake:

As a dog owner myself, it's just fucking upsetting and sickening as fuck. The innocent dog wagging tails in the end almost made me punch the wall. If he was going to kill it, he should have done with better aim so it could have died quick in peace and painlessly.

Didn't even finish the video because I can't stand watching that dog to be shoot to death but from the youtube comments, it makes me angry and sad as a guy who loves dogs. The part where the dog who just sits there innocently makes me wanna cry.

I think they're messed up. See the ad they've been showing in their channel regarding the need for someone in their Financial Assistant position. Smells like money trouble. Lean was a cost cutting casualty even before he became part of the cost.

That's the thing. They even said the computer(s) that I (my team) would be using aren't even there yet.

And they seem to have a mass-termination going on. My student told me that there's another ad in need of a lot of new people. I had to re-stalk them again.

:eh: Can you at least go back to being a teacher at the college in the meantime? Nothing sounds like a sure deal in such a situation.

I dont know if it's really a "letting of steam" thing but I just thought in order to get over it I should try to integrate it in my daily routine and the NLSC is part of my daily routine.

My dad died a week ago suffering from cancer. Pretty much the worst thing that could happen, I honestly can't think of anything else worse. He had some pain in his stomach for a while and the doctors thought it was a gastritis after doing a gastroscopy. The pain got worse and worse but they told him to take more painkillers and get over it until the whole illness is over.

After the pain got unbearable my dad finally went to hospital where the doctors did a CT and discovered cancer. His stomach, liver and kidney were already completely diseased and there was nothing they could do for him. So after giving him the right dosis of painkillers we took him back home where my mum cared for him. He died five days later.

It's really a horrible thing and I don't know how to get over the emptiness right now. You think the moment when he dies or the funeral are the worst moments, but actually the biggest problem is the emptiness after the whole procedure.

Life can be fucked up at times, really.

Sorry to hear it man. Its not the same but i know the feeilng with my grandpa a few years back. He was sick for about 3 weeks, it got bad enough for him to go to a hospital. The docs said he was getting better then bam, 2 days later he couldnt breathe without a ventilator and his brain functioning was starting to go from lack of oxygen. He decided it was time, pulled the tube, and it was over.

I felt empty, I didn't know what to do. I looked to the bottle for awhile. Gave me some good times, but never quite fixed it. Ended up on academic probation because i was either drunk or sleeping.

After awhile though, memories helped, family helped, and i realized it didnt hurt as bad. Yes it still sucks and I think about him everyday (my school is less than a mile from where he's buried). All you can really do is try to live your life as best you can and keep him alive through stories/memories.

Can't really do anything but to offerall my sincere condolences to you and your family hova, that is horrible to hear.
I hope you get over it and stop suffering from it soon, I'm sure that'd be the only thing your father wanted you to do right now.

I'm really sorry to hear that, hova. I exactly know how you feel, as I have been through the same thing. I was pretty young back then when my dad passed away of kidney cancer. Initially, he was getting tired easily and one of his physician gave him pills to take, thinking it was just stress issues. Very next month, he found out he had a cancer, and as a family, we were devastated. Only if he found it out 3 or 4 month earlier, there could have been ways, but by that time, was too late. Tried a surgery as a last hope but of course, made it worse. He passed away 2 months after. It was the toughest time of my life and surely the worst thing that happened to me ever. I was 20 back then, but having family and friends definitely helped me overcome the grief eventually. I'm hoping you become stronger and be there for your family, especially for your mother as she's the one having the most trouble emotionally. Family is first and last thing you can turn to.

Sorry to hear about your loss hova :(

I'm not going to come out & try to say I understand it, because I don't. Losing a parent well before their time is just tragic in my eyes. My sincere thoughts go out to you, your mother and the rest of your family in this sad time. Cherish the fond memories, he will never be forgotten & live on in your memories & your life.

My condolences as well, I somewhat understand how you feel as my grandfather passed away last year, but father is much more important person in your life and thus much harder to let go.
