Jersey season is over
News for all of you out there sporting Canucks jerseys: Hockey season is over, so pack up the tiresome jersey until next season or, hopefully, forever. There is nothing more embarrassing than seeing a grown man wearing a hockey jersey with the name of his favourite player written across the back. Grow up and get a life you bunch of douches. Seems to me also, that the majority of people I saw in the riots, were ones wearing the jerseys. And one other thing I cant stand, which I call the Jersey Strut: You idiots look ridiculous when you put on your jerseys and do the John Wayne walk, with the false sense of security that feeds your severely deflated self confidence.

Try riding a bike
My name is Jennifer and I am a cyclist. I ride my bike everywhere and all I ever hear is people complaining about bike lanes. You know, seriously, there are bigger things in this world to worry about rather than me riding my bike. People complain about me riding my bike on the sidewalk and people complain that I ride on the road, so where do you suggest we ride our bikes? Maybe you people should just try it. Get on a bike and just ride it. You feel so much more free. You pass traffic and it doesnt cost you anything. Find something else bigger and better to complain about. Get over it. Im going to stay on my bike whether you like it or not.

Hands on the wheel
To the driver of the black BMW who nearly ran over that cyclist early this morning: if you werent talking on your cellphone you could have used your signal light which would give people a clue that you were going to turn a corner. If you had hit that person, technically the law would probably call it manslaughter. But you would know in your heart that if you considered that phone call so important that you had to answer it while you were busy driving over somebodys daughter or son that what you are doing is murder. Its not manslaughter. So put away your stupid cellphone because no phone call is worth a human life. When you are driving a car, youre driving a potential bomb, a weapon, something that can kill another human being and be the cause of untold tragedy. So smarten up and drive your car with both hands on the wheel.

Smoke signals
Monday afternoon outside Safeway on Davie: Supposedly homeless young couple with the obligatory sympathy inducing dog and cardboard sign in front of them telling the world how hungry they are. I fell for itand gave them a toonie. I then see the male part of the couple two minutes later in Safeway buying a pack of smokes at close to 10 bucks a pop. Confronted couple later and was called every name in the book. Have you guys no shame? Im disgusted.

None of your business
This is for the person who was complaining about people using their computers at Starbucks: Mind your own business. If I want to sit at Starbucks, sip coffee and work on my computer, thats my business not yours. Go away.

Sisters act
This rave is for the Franciscan Sisters of Atonement for all the work theyve been doing on the Downtown Eastside. They go unappreciated and they do a great deal of work in the community for the marginalized people. Being marginalized myself, I feel that people have to stand up and help the Franciscan Sisters. Donate whatever you can. Give from your heart.

Plant thieves
I live in a seniors complex in the West End and every year I spend hundreds of dollars of my own money replacing plants that thieves dig out of my garden around the buildings. I cant believe there are so many bad people living in this area. Luckily karma is my best friend.

Playoff beards
Being a gay man living in Vancouver, I have to say I loved all the playoff beards and mustaches. They were so hot.
