======================================



Possible Opponent For February 21

Richard has found me a guy to fight on February 21. 
His name is Phil. Sorry, I don't know his last name, yet.
His background in boxing is the same as mine. He boxed back in the 80s and 90s, stopped,, and is now coming back.
The only problem is that he was an Open Division boxer, back then, but now he is in the Master's Division, so it should not matter.
He is also slightly lighter, but I have no problem losing a bit. 
I have two weeks.


Does the Master's Division Give Event Organizers An Excuse To Age Discriminate?

I was speaking with a freind who worked with me at Bell, and he was asking if I had made it to the Pan Am Games.
I mentioned that I didn't, since there is no Master's Division in The Pan Am Games, just as there is none in the Brampton Cup.
He then made an interetsing statement, 'That is age discrimination'.
You know, I had never thought of it before, but it is.
The idea of a Master's Division is shorter rounds, a minute and a half, instead of three minutes. 
However, there is a good point. To not offer the Master's Division when there are people willing to participate is a form of discrimination. It is a violation of the Human Rights Act.
You want to see how fast people bitch if they did not offer the Female Division?
Why is this not being looked into by Boxing Ontario? They should be enforcing that.

In the United States, I think near Chicago, there is a boxing tournament in August specifically for Master's.
I am going to mention that to Richard. I'd love to be in that.


Frustrated At Freddy's

Okay, so ever since I read the short story 'Five Nights At Freddy's', I have have been playing the game.
I have to tell you, this is one of the most frustrating games I have ever played.
I have been stuck on Night Two for nine times.
That game has now officially started pissing me off.


From Bathurst To Jane In Just Two Hours!

Here it is. More ranting!

Okay, so the TTC has stooped to an all new low. Yesterday, coming home from work, took two hours! 
Yes, that's two hours from Bathurst and St. Clair to Jane and St. Clair. That is a 15-minute drive, maximum.
It did not help that the Bathurst bus was over 40 minutes late. There was supposed to be a bus at 6:42, and the next at 6:57. Neither of those showed up. Then the next at 7:09, didn't get there until 7:14.
That is two no-shows, and one late.
You know what that reminds me of? Mississauga Transit.

Oh no! The TTC is getting as bad as Mississauga, and that really scares me.

Anyway, once I boarded the bus, it was so crowded, my face was literally plastered agaist the front door.

Thene, here is the kicker, the driver -yes, driver- started to complain. 
Sidenote: Does the driver really have any right to complain at this point?
Anyway, he went on to complain about the scheduling, and TTC management doesn't know what they are doing....yadda, yadda....
Excuse me, but it has nothing to do with management.
When I see bus drivers farting around at the terminals, yapping on the phone, yapping to each other, spending 20 minutes in the washroom, doing things I don't want to know...
The only fault with TTC management is that they are letting it happen.

I am going to start video recording it, and putting it on the internet, so everyone can see how bad it is.

I think there needs to be a massive lay-off at the Toronto Transit Commission.

Do you people see why this annoys me, and why I complain?
20 minues for that trip? I can walk that in less time!

...and the TTC wants to increase the fare.
Why? So we can wait even longer for a bus?

TTC Idiots.
They are in the running for the 2015 Dunce Award. 
Good job.
