Proudfoot says goodbye

proudfoot is about to shuffle off this mortal coil and the flllowing was printed in the Gazette yesterday:
By Tony Proudfoot for Postmedia News
“The time has come,” the Walrus said, “to talk of many things.” — Lewis Carroll, Through the Looking Glass
MONTREAL — The last time I wrote for the Montreal Gazette in April 2010, I was anticipating that I might not make it to another Christmas. Here it is, early December, same year, and my circumstances are certainly clearer. As the Walrus says, “The time has come” literally and figuratively, and I would like to “talk of many things.”
Why has ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) come into my life? What can I do with my body as it slowly deteriorates? When will my time actually be, given that ALS is a definitive death sentence? These are all thoughts that come to mind. Focusing on my next breath requires all of my energy. I am starved of air and oxygen and need to rely on a ventilator just to feel stable, just to live. I am now on my ventilator up to 22 hours per day, often going off one, to walk slowly to another room to attach myself to another.
At the beginning, without any answers and none forthcoming, I chose to take the high road and be as positive as I could possibly be and live the life I had left to the fullest. I also worked hard to raise awareness of ALS and support research into its cause and elimination.

John and Terry at the Roger's Cup
By terrentino Gaverino
I am trying out my new pinnacle video editing software so forgive the amateurish use of conflicting tab styles ..
I find this a hoot because it pretty well sums up mine and John's relationship ... since I sobered up in 1998.
I am less obtuse and more focused and able to approach John's daunting side chatter with a remote and ironic smile.
The reference to Officer Moby is from alice and the restaurant.
The Chris Rock reference is denuded by John's obsequious interjections.
The song is by Fred Eaglesmith.
The pink shirt is what Roger was wearing back in the August tennis tourney.
Frank Sinatra .. said I just opened my mouth and there it was .. the note that is ...
The Beck's Beer in the closing credits is of course non-alcoholic and because it is made by Germans is apparently very good ... but expensive. To the guy who constantly monitors my you tube site and accuses me of non PC .. those are both positive comments as in : nice cars .. beautiful ski lifts .. good products ... you pay for quality.
Now .. this is the germany post Poland ... that other stuf?
Obviously like Adolf!!! Crazy as fucking batshit.
hey Germany ... get over it ... and my PC Guy .. get an effin life ... here's the skinny .. I posted a rant against Racist Italian soccer fans who were beiong so hard on a black player from Ivory Coast Eto'o that the ref had to suspend the game .. I said that I would be boycotting spaghetti and my PC friend wrote that I was a racist .. apparently because I was boycotting an Italian product .. His name was Bennie da'' nose Tortelli ... he never said a word about the Milan fans ... because obviously it's the Italians ingrained rite to be silly while attending sporting events ... but hey, take spaghetti in vain and Da nose explodes ...

Okay now I know what I want for Christmas.
Watche this really sick flying video game that apparently was made for budding young drone pilots.
It starts with dogfights in a hangar ...
and ends with 16-year-old pilotless drones in iraq.
Strap it in and feel the rush ... yáll.

The roof is falling ... the roof is falling
 Image by william couch via Flickr |
| Piss on this .. we need a dome! |
Okay so who builds a roof out of Teflon and why can't Minneapolis find a way to clear snow off of it even during seminal weather events?
I just came back from the Grey Cup in Edmonton.
Hand and Toe warmers de rigueur.
I watched a farce play out in Chicago yesterday.
When are the NFL and CFL going to realize that football was never meant to be played in the dead of winter.
It spoils the game.
It denudes an otherwise stunning ballet of its essential attributes.
Players hate it.
Coaches hate it.
Fans hate it.
And bull shit to dem dat say oh well, IT ADDS TO THE CACHET.
BULL SHIT!
We, the fans, mostly watch at home.
So we are snuggled from the freezing temps and the ridiculous sightlines.
But we get treated to the end result.
Unabashedly boring football.
If I was payin' 250 large to watch a catastrophe on snow I'd bloody well be asking for my money back.
We are playing the next two Grey Cups in BC and Toronna.
Domed sites.
The last two were played under gray skies on the frostbitten cusps of the prairies.
Bull shit!
We need this all to change.
Super Bowls in january are okay as long as they're played indoors.
But the playoffs are played on frozen tundras in Green Bay, Chicago, New York and New England.
It's piss poor football.
It's football redux.
Fumbles and interceptions and dropped passes.
It is not football guaranteed to provide the best matchup for the seminal Super Bowl event.
So I call crap.
Begin in the spring and end it on Thanksgiving.
College Football .. go figure it out.
They don't play off so who gives a shit.
Let em have at it in Hawaii on Christmas Day for all I give a shit.
Will I watch Oregon and Auburn?
Of course.
I'm addicted.
Thus the rant.
Next year I will be sitting in shirtsleeves in BC Place watching the Grey Cup play out in the pleasant confines of a temperate 22 degrees Celsius.
Three days before that I will be skiing my ass off in Whistler.
Lovely.
This year I had a bag of winter clothes, jackets, mitts, boots, gloves and mittens.
Air Canada charged me $35 for the extra bag.
I was frozen cloddish by the second half.
Let's get it together.
Play football in the sunshine.
Warm weather days.
Watch that flowing ballet break its pastiche across that lovely panorama of verdant green.
Pardon the Eruption.
But shit it's cold up north.
