Paths to Choose...

Hello again bloggeronies! Old Man Robb here... what is a happening? Well life is happening at the moment i must say, i've come down with a June cold since Thursday and well it was a weekend wash-out so to speak.. been stuck in the house, watching the Chicago- Philly Finals and taking meds, drinking Neo-Citrin, Ginger Ale, OJ and resting up, watching some old flicks like Smokey and The Bandit, computin, chatting to old friends and Ugh...IM BORED!!!

Well i do have a formal job interview coming up on Wednesday, first thing i needed was to get two letter of recommendations from two former supervisors or managers, one is done and the other is hopefully on the way, i had an interview on Tuesday so this will make it my third interview at this same place in the last three weeks...this place is like joining the CIA, FBI and Hogan's Heroes! Very tough its been, esp with things coming up that Old Man Robb wants to do... what do i want to do? Well in case you have not been keeping score lately...Old Man Robb did score an A on his course: Educ 4673- Teaching English as a Second Language and there are two courses left which are EDUC 4683: Linguistics for Teachers and EDUC 4863: Acquisition of Language...if Old Man Robb does these two courses and passes them, then he will have recieved TESOL Certification from Acadia U......

It all hinges on Wednesday's outcome...actually i do have a back-up plan so to speak, but let me just say i am more curious about Wednesday at 10:30...why? Well i can actually do something that is long overdue...i can be on my own...perhaps after one month and the decision has been made at that time, then i can have my own place...sure i've left the nest before...but i always came back...1998-2003 was spent at the Leaning Tower of Wolfville, but every weekend i was Working for The Weekend back at the Store Formerly Known as Andew's...spend 2003-04 at Mount A, but came back...2004-05 at Acadia but was back every weekend...the most i was away from home was seven months in Japan and nine months in S Korea... im not getting younger and i just feel that it is something that i HAVE to do....

What else is happening? Well i did make a couple of little trips before being laid up so to speak with this damn flu...me and Sir Justin took a road trip one day up to Harbourville which is past Berwick (BERK!) and lo and behold....Russia Road?!?!?!?! Rocket to Russia?!?!?! Well folks the Cold War is not over near Harbourville!!!!

Actually this is one in Harbourville im curious about...i mean does Jason live up that way or something? Or maybe the Axemen's mascot is now the size of the Unfriendly Giant or something like that...

Something i have been wondering aboot is what is with all the celebrity death's lately? Another one of the Golden Girls is gone..one left..Dennis Hopper passed away from that frickin cancer and Gary Coleman..Arnold from Different Strokes passing away..im just wondering if there is such a thing as a Different Strokes Curse...WTF Old Man Robb? All of the child stars of that series had terrible adult lives..Dana Plato OD'd after a turbulent life including drugs, alcohol...Todd Bridges was into dope and was arrested for attempted murder and Coleman had several brushes with the law himself....its really too bad as they were young people who had been exploited by greedy Hollyweird where you can be a child star or a star, but when you have outgrown your usefulness you are chucked out and forgotten and then you become cannon fodder for the paparazzi, gossup mags and other wormslime...

Last Saturday after my dear Habs were eliminated by the prick Pronger and the Flyers me and Blair decided to head down to the Capital and drown our sorrows...of course it had totally slipped my mind that "A Call For Submission" was playing (No cover either!) and it was fun...they were giving away free pitchers for the loudest scream (Neither i or Blair won... ) and well they were playing some good stuff like Billy Idol's "Rebel Yell" Kiss "Rock & Roll All Nite" and my fav of the evening was hearing Motorhead's "Ace of Spades" where i got to duet with the lead singer on the lines, "You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools, But that's the way I like it baby, I don't wanna live forever,.....And don't forget the joker!" Was a good night...Blair wrecked the bush in front of the house...but a good night nonetheless...i saw some tourdates for "A Call For Submission" and they should be checked out...

My other trip recently was my yearly trip to the South Shore, it was a beautiful day and had some unexpected suprises! My big one would be on the way down past Cookesville lo and behold the rumours were true and i saw the reserection of the famous Turkey Burger right in front of my eyes! Did a major u-turn and went back to check it out...had to see...talked to one of the new owners and she said that the TB will be re-opening soon, that they are putting the old booths back in and it should be up and running ASAP...which is good to hear...also favs like the FORK-LIFT Burger will also be part of the menu along with some new selections...the other re-opening that i was told about recently with a good review from a trusted source is here in Middleton where Eisner's is now known as the "Maritime Cookhouse"...will have to check it out...

Also visited a few landmarks like the Lunenburg Academy where my Dad went and the giant lawnchair which could probably seat a good 5-10 people just outside of Bridgewater... its too bad that the Academy is closed to the public, i heard it was closing as a school and personally i think instead of using it for office space it would make a nice museum, lots of history at the Academy even though some people say that Lunenburg does not need any more tourism stuff (Personally i think Middleton needs that...but that is another story) well its just my two cents that's all...

Oh yeah...UCW Wrestling is coming back to Canning on June 19th! Lots of guest stars again like Charlie Haas, Bushwacker Luke, RAVEN and Hacksaw Jim Duggan! That last card was pretty wild and it was fun to see the legends last time out like Honkytonk Man, Marty Jannetty, Highlanders and Bushwacker Luke...i would love to know what happened to Grand Prix??!?!?! They haven't done a tour since the summer of 2008 and i would hate to see that tradition come to a close... was hoping UCW was coming to the Berk Arena but Canning is good enough, was a hell of a crowd there last time as well! The dates for the UCW tour are:

June 17- Trenton, NS

June 18th- Springhill, NS

June 19th- Canning, NS

June 20th- Tignish, PEI

June 21st- Barrington Passage, NS

June 22nd- Bridgewater, NS

June 23rd- Halifax, NS

Well what do i think of the Finals? Well unless the Hawks get their ass in gear i think they can kiss it goodbye...im serious, they let the Flyers back in it and that is not good...Hacksaw Hartnell (He looks like Jim Duggan now) and Pricky Pronger (Cmon...don't ya wanna see him get his ass whopped? Just once?) are in gear and the Hawks are retreating like a pack of scalded dogs...personally i think it is time for the Hawks to fight fire with fire...why not get dirty? Wouldn't it be the ultimate insult to have the Hawks in Chi-Town play "God Bless America?!?!" The Flyers would flip and you know what? It would probably throw them off...either that or how's about this... a fight...do you remember those? No? Set the pace... it would be nice 5 minutes in...or to see someone...anyone...the waterboy...the penaut vendor...anyone level Chris Pronger...ugh he annoys me...

Well i've ranted enough for one afternoon folks..have a good one!
