Kanye West is an ignorant, arrogant, jackass !!

Does this guy have any idea what it's like to me a man? To show other people respect? To understand that their opinion isn't anymore important than anybody else's opinion .... NO, I guess he doesn't!

In case you hadn't heard "Mr West" decided that after Taylor Swift won a MTV music Award, and was standing on stage giving her acceptance speech, that was the best time to run up on stage, take the mike out of Taylor's hand and make a comment about how "Beyonce has one of the best video's ever"! ......

WHAT, you moron?? let me get this straight, you decide in your infinite wisdom that it's OK to ruin the show, shock and scare a 19 year old girl, and put the spotlight back on you when it was HER moment in the sun. You really need a good beat down, and maybe a few of your peers need to tell you how it is .... he certainly need a good "shunning" IMO!

So the next couple of days he's all apologetic, he's so sorry, he's still grieving for his Mother/Father/pet hamster he lost when he was 7. Whatever the reason, apologizing after the fact MEANS NOTHING! He should have used his brains, but that's the problem he doesn't have any. His head can't hold a brain AND his EGO!

Just in case you're wondering, this is at least the fourth time he made his opinions know even when people don't care about what he has to say. Once after Hurricane Katrina .... "George Bush doesn't care about black people, he also has another one when he lost a European MTV award, he jumped on stage to complain that he should have won because the video "cost a million dollars" . There are more, but that's all I remember.

I guess it's true, Kayne West is a "gay fish"!

P.s. that's a South Park reference, I don't expect you to know it:)

Yonge/Dundas Square .....What a disaster!

I'm really sure how to start this post, whether I do a completely incoherent rant, try to come up with a simple parable about how we are ruining "gods" planet:), or simply try to explain my thoughts in a concise somewhat fluent posting.

Well, I'm not good at any of those things:) so here goes!

What the _uc_ did the City of Toronto do to the area of Yonge and Dundas?? and what will God do about it?? Let me explain point by point .............Crap!

Has anybody ever been to a garage sale, maybe a pawn shop, have you ever gone through an old box you have stored when you found that "thing" you'd be looking for and couldn't find? That's what the old Yonge/Dundas part of Toronto was to me, I'd walk into some nondescript mess of a store and find that interesting "widget" I didn't know I needed.

Case in point would be Princess Auto, I started going to Princess Auto maybe 12-13 years ago, I'd drive to their location just South of the Dixie Auto Mall(near the airport), and walk through this mess of a store finding items that I didn't need, wanted but could never get in Canada, or simply couldn't afford.

Well, those were the days, now they've cleaned the stores up and made them all pretty, but they don't have a heart ....... just like Dundas Square!

Sure, I understand the need to clean up that area of the City, it's a major tourist spot, and had been a little run down, but you could have cleaned it up without losing the flavour.

What did they do wrong?? So they built this huge, massive concrete pad on the South/East corner without any ... well anything! would it have been tough to add a few trees?? they would have survived and quite probably flourished, but now we need to go to the park to see a tree. Why don't wee round up everything that would be considered "nature" a put them all in parks/zoos/displays?? "OK kids, this is what a Chipmunk looks like, we rounded them all up, killed most of them and kept a few here so we can all remember "the good ole days" when we had untouched areas of the world.

I can understand a meeting place in that area, and it WILL bring a good number of events to a busy area of the city, increased foot traffic should help the City, but that my next point ... There isn't one part of that corner North/East/South/West that isn't LOADED with huge billboards, MASSIVE video displays, and anything that shouts out "BUY, BUY, BUY"! There is nothing at this point of the City that says "come visit out beautiful City!", it's more like "look, we're trying to copy New York, that bastion of gross excess"!

Maybe I'm getting old, but I used to LOVE that area of the City, now I don't know why I'd ever go down there again!

P.s. They also ruined the side of the Eaton's Centre by putting more HUGE advertisements up ... The "old" Eaton's centre has been turned into nothing but a gaudy billboard when you drive North up Yonge!
