Social media bull crap

I really need to get away from Social Media groups. Today I posted this on my own Facebook wall and boy did I get a lot of negative comments. 

Also today I went to my local walking track. A little over 3 km into my walk the track staff told me I had to leave. I asked why because it was only 4pm and the track was open until 7:30pm. Apparently someone called in sick and they had no one to stay past 4. Then I posted this picture on my towns local Facebook group with an explanation so others wouldn’t show up after me and find locked doors. And AGAIN did I ever get blasted on that FB group. 

I really wasn’t trying to be a dick, I just wanted to make everyone aware so no one would waste their time coming down to a closed walking track. Some lady even went on a rant about me not being a trophy or something.... I’m assuming she must have been high since weed is now legal in Canada. 

Anyway once again I’ve posted something that people twist into something they can be offended by. Lesson learned from today: I need to read more books and use social media less. To many toxic people out there for my liking. 

Geek Wars

A new ‘Batman’ TV series please!

The Boys

I've been watching 'The Boys' on Amazon Prime's streaming service. I have never read the comics before so I had very little knowledge going in but I am LOVING this show. I will definitely be talking about this show more once I'm done watching season one. Karl Urban is one of my favourite pop culture actors and I am so glad to see him on this show. He's such a perfect fit for the material.

Beer league should be fun...not insulting

Last night I was almost involved in a fists flying all out baseball (slow-pitch) fight. In regards to what happened last night bottom line is words were exchanged and both sides share in the guilt. 

However the fact is that nothing would have happened had (he who shall not be named) not started with the insults and yelling; he is the one that created the situation. He was pitching and simply asked to raise his pitches as they were not hitting the 6 feet in height mark. Some of them called ‘no pitch’ by those umpiring (because we umpire our own games) didn’t even hit the mat and he still freaked out and insulted us over it, and that’s where the ugliness started. 

This is supposed to be a beer ‘fun’ league but no one deserves to be insulted. After last night lessons have been learned and for myself I can say he is now on my radar. Next time he acts up (and we were told by some of his own team he does this from time to time, apparently when he plays hockey he acts like this too) I will ask his team to rein him in. 

But I cannot help but feel that if he continues with the insults and directs them at certain people, whether it be our team or another team, there will be an unfortunate outcome as almost happened last night. 

I play ball for fun, not to be insulted or see those I care about insulted. 

Let’s just have fun...and follow the rules...

THE GREAT MARVEL DEBATE

I am often asked which Marvel movies I like, or how I rank them and so on. Now I've compiled a list and here it is:

In a few weeks we will be recording an episode of the 'Pop Culture Pub Podcast' where we will be tackling this topic. Stay Tuned!
