Three People Peeves

PetPeeve_crybabyI have three major people pet peeves. This might be why I am not dating you, not working with you anymore or run away screaming scared for my life upon spotting you… If we do hang out, then you have passed the below and can rest easy that this blog is not speaking to you.

Smithereens

Smithers_PeakWhere is Smithers, British Columbia? It’s two blocks and one mountain range south of Sarah Palin’s house. Pop 5509. Town dining comprises of the Japanese, the Chinese, the Italian, the burger place or the pizza joint. On Friday nights after a bender of karaoke at the Hudson Bay Lodge, the strip joint closes at 11pm and all the loggers, snowboarders and retirees amalgamate in the over-flowing toilet melting pot of the only dance bar. A night of cheap whiskey hits a frenzied pitch when the blown-out speakers rumbles out “Thunderstruck” and a brawl erupts – usually amongst family members. This is where wildlife also shop in the grocery store parking lot. This is where if you hear a shotgun blast – you just run and keep going. This is where the Zeller’s gal told the sport’s store owner what you bought yesterday. This is where an extension on a trailer is admired as practical architecture. This is where I was for three months. Welcome to nowhere.

Ripped Jeans

SpiderRippedI love it when poverty is in fashion. Blue collar chic. When the rich teens race their SUV’s down to the promenade to pay 600$ for denim that imitates the East side bus fare clan hand-me-downs.

Take These Broken Wings

optional easy listening while you read:

Get the Flash Player to see the wordTube Media Player.

Making movies is similar to being in the military. We both go by a 24hr clock. We both eat talk, move and sleep when someone says we can. We use walkie talkie codes. “Copy” to say yes. “21-hundred” to delicately announce a potty break. Each finite job is departmentalized. There is a pecking order. Nothing is more militant than the Camera department whose trainees are hazed practically daily.

Secret Nod

I have taken up running. And I am confused.

Someone tell me why other runners nod when you go by? Is this a runners secret bat signal? Does it mean we all meet later at the pub for poutine and Bud lime? ‘Cause that’s what I’m hoping. Or is it a weird twitch? I don’t want to suffer all this cardio just to develop a freaky twitch.beached-sneakers-01
