Women and life

I get quizzed every so often about women and my dealings with them. I am honest most of the time. Every so often though, people go on asking questions and don't quite stop. So here's my explanation.

One: I don't bat for the other team.
Two: I don't get women as in I haven't a clue what the hell makes them tick. I mean, I know the biochemical pathways that make them tick, but I don't know what really makes them tick.
Three: I suspect women don't get me.
Four: I would rather spend time on things I understood or on things that were a worthwhile academic pursuit.
Five: Its way past my bed time and I am writing a rant really tired.

Why the rant? I was asked what the deal was with me and this girl I was seen with. My answer was a simple one (and the honest one by the way): she's a friend. Of course, in this Universe of weirdness, that answer doesn't seem to cut it.

I don't understand these creatures. I mean, they make no sense. They willingly fly off the handle on things that look normal. At other times, they don't react at all. Then they pull the crying bullshit. That should be considered off-side. They function on whims that I cannot fathom. They constantly beat on themselves yet they expect you to bolster their morale. You do that and they jump on the patronization band-wagon. They pay what they think are compliments in the most unflattering manner. If I did that, they would accuse me of being boorish. They are messy. Yet men are blamed for it.

Screw them all. I am going to live life to the fullest and whatever comes my way will have to deal with me as I am. I love my life and my prominence in it. No one takes that away from me. I no longer stroke their egos. They can all go to hell. Someday, I will win.

Summers are getting hotter in Vancouver

This shouldn't be a shock to anyone, but summers are getting a lot hotter here than it has been since I started living here. It used to be that in summer, it would be in low to mid 20s and reliably sunny between mid June to about mid August. Perhaps the sunshine stayed till September. Somewhere along the way, there would be rain as well. But that was 2+ decades ago.  In the past few years, there has been many days where wildfire smoke dominated the skies and air. Rain is rarity now in the summer. And it has started to get hot. It is not unusual for days when the highs are over 30C.  This is starting to cause homes to get very hot. Most apartment buildings in Vancouver are covered in glass. While it makes for great views, it also turns apartments into little ovens. My apartment faces West and it regularly goes over 30C by the end of the day. And it barely cools down overnight. The outside is a lot cooler in the evenings. A few years ago, we had something called a heat dome - ba...

A few thoughts on the current state of Canada and US relationships

 It is easy to demonize the current US president for a myriad of reasons. Some have called him by the alleged tint of his skin (orange), some have called him a threat to democracy and used words like dictator, fascist etc. I am not going to delve into all that. He is, as far as I am concerned, the legitimate leader of a large country, duly elected by a majority of their voting population. What those people where thinking while voting for him in a majority, I question. But that is not the point of this post.  I live in Canada. I am a citizen of the country. I get to vote for an MP in my riding federally. The party who elects the most MPs is usually invited to form government by the head of state or (now) his representative. Our democratic norms are pretty simple and straightforward. There are plenty of things to criticize our electoral system for and the governments that come as a result. Anyway, all of this to say, we in Canada do not get to vote for a foreign leader. But we d...

Happy Birthday Canada

I have celebrated more than 20 Canada Days in Canada. While this nation is far from perfect and we have so much further to go, there is hope. We are a nation, at 153, looking at the future with a mixed record: we have immense prosperity, peace, safety and a relatively good standard of living for most . We are welcoming to immigrants, refugees and guarantee people with a wide range of rights. We are a leader in respecting people's human rights and punch above our weight internationally. We are also a country that is in the midst of a reckoning right now. We have systemic racism, we are at war with the environment - we are actively digging things out of the ground to sell to the rest of the world. Climate change is ravaging our country - we have floods, fires and drought.  Our past and present deeds towards indigenous people is shameful. We have a long way to go yet, but there is hope. In the midst of a pandemic, with social upheaval to correct past wrongs, or at least make amen...
