To start this off, I am going to mention that this
particular blog was created for a GNED class at Mount Royal University, and yes
it is a spin off from the adult cartoon Family Guy. Following
this, the aim for this this blog is to rant about a mixture of stupid, silly,
frustrating and very irritating things that happens around the city of Calgary
and 'grind the gears' of pretty much every citizen of this beautiful city.
With that said a parental warning of sorts will
have to be given before any rants can really begin, mainly because of the adult
humor, the types of images being posted, as well as the topics maybe considered
untasteful to those that are either too young to understand or were simply born
without a sense of humor. So if you happen to be one of those members of the
internet that happens to stumble upon this blog and find its contents offensive
you then should click the “back” button in your browser and go back to doing what
you normally do on the internet, you have been warned!
With the parental warning all cleared up, and
everyone knows what to expect from the content found on this blog, do you know
what really grinds my gears? All
the small parking spaces that can be found throughout Calgary! It is
understandable that the Calgary Parking Authority and various other businesses,
that make money from people parking, want to fit as many cars in as possible in
their lots to make an extra dime and so they make the spaces only big enough to fit a medium
sized sedan. But this is ridiculous, seeing the amount of people in this city
that drive trucks and SUV’s, myself being one of them, is huge! We would all love to be able to find a
parking space that we could not only fit your vehicles into but
also be able to get out of that parking stall after without having to conduct a
40 point turn (which for some drivers in this city is harder than brain
surgery).
Now, some members of society might respond to that
by simply stating that it is our fault for driving such a large, gas guzzling
vehicle in the first place and that we should switch to something small and
hippy such as a Honda Prius. But have those people ever seen how hard it would
be to get a quad, a deer, as well four fully grown man into one of those tiny
matchboxes, it simply would not work! Stay classy Calgary.
