Angie’s Confessions at Timothy Lock’s G-Spot Transcript [Part 1] (2006)

(originally transcribed by me in 2006 and posted on an old LJ community. These are the same transcriptions from that time and I can no longer verify how accurate it may be Wayback link to the episode summary, mp3 link does not work; if anyone still has these audio files/knows how to access them, let me know.)

Timothy: On the phone with me right now from sunny Tucson, Arizona is the fabulous Angie Bowie. Angie how are you today?

Angie:I’m fine Timothy how are you? Hi everyone who’s listening.

Timothy: Do you know what, I am melting. London is in the middle of a heat wave right now.

Angie: Well I am very, very sympathetic. We’re in the middle of Monsoon Madness two thousand and six it’s 105, 108.

Timothy: Oh my God

Angie: Tucson is usually ten degrees cooler than Phoenix, so for it to be this hot you can imagine in Phoenix they’re seeing 114, 118 temperatures. Now what is the temperature in London

Timothy: It’s um, Celsius it’s about 35 today, which I think is the high eighties

Angie: Yeah well for London with all that concrete that’s high

Timothy: D’ you know what, they, they had a wonderful picture in this newspaper the other day. You know the whole quote of you ‘oh you can fry an egg on the sidewalk?’

Angie: Uh-huh

Timothy: Well they actually fried an egg on the top of a black cab

Angie: Oh yeah I saw that picture!

Timothy: Isn’t that great?

Angie: Yes and that demonstrates that it is darned hot.

Timothy: Oh definitely

Angie: Yeah. I’m listening to your accent. Tell me where you’re from.

Timothy: I’m from Toronto originally.

Angie: Ahh! And where are you living now?

Timothy: I am living in London, and I’ve lived here for the past nine years.

Angie: I thought so when I was listening! You know my mother was Canadian, and my father grew up Canada, in British Columbia. I’m sure you wouldn’t know that, but I did and so I was listening to your voice. How nice! And so you’ve lived in London what, nine or ten years now?

Timothy: Nine years now yeah

Angie: Oh, and are you enjoying it? Of course, or you wouldn’t be here.

Timothy: Angie, I love it. It’s my favorite city on the planet. I’ve lived in New York, Calgary, Toronto, Orlando and London I love, I will never move.

Angie: Good! Good for you. Well I couldn’t agree with you more. Of course it’s a little-when I went there on those last two trips, you know it was so bizarre because of the CCTV.

Timothy: Oh I know

Angie: And I, you know one of the taxi drivers was so cute, I said to him, I said ‘and I guess you can’t go down there, he said ‘no,’ he said ‘the ticket would be in two weeks in my mail box’

Timothy: [laughs]

Angie: And we both started laughing, he said ‘yeah, you can’t even get in trouble if you want to now’

Timothy: Do you know what, here in London one of the big television shows is Big Brother. I don’t know if it’s big in the States at all?

Angie: I’m not sure, but I think when I was in England I saw it advertised and I didn’t get to what it, I was-that’s when I was on call for Patrick.

Timothy: Patrick Lily sends his love by the way

Angie: Oh good! And please give him a big, big hug for me

Timothy: I definitely will. And the thing about Big Brother is I say it’s being famous for being on CCTV.

Angie: Yeah.

Timothy: And I thought you know if that’s the case, you know, then I should be famous for urinating behind every dumpster in London when I’m drunk.

Angie: [laughs]

Timothy: Now when I was thinking about talking with Angie Bowie, I thought you know, you’re someone I can’t really label under one banner. And the obvious thing would be to, you know, focus on your opinions of your ex husband David Bowie, but that’s been done to death Angie. You’ve also detailed it in your best selling autobiography Backstage Passes: Life On The Wild Side with David Bowie. I’m not going to draw you into a discussion about David Bowie because that’s unfair and you’re my guest and I want you to feel welcome.

Angie: Oh you’re very sweet Timothy, I appreciate it, and it’s not because of anything bizarre. It’s not like, you know, a publicist say, saying ‘oh and she won’t talk about that’, it’s not that. I haven’t seen him for twenty five or thirty years. So talking about him, talking about him in the context of the seventies-

Timothy: Yeah

Angie: -as my artist, the artist I was promoting and the person I was managing, no problem. But you know, they, people have recently been asking me-they, they sprung an interview in the Evening Standard on me.

Timothy: Yeah.

Angie: Very huge interview. And the gal was very sweet. Unfortunately when I first heard her name, I-I had to do a double take because I wanted to make sure that I addressed her correctly during the interview.

Timothy: What was her name?

Angie: Emine. And it’s a strange name, you know what I mean

Timothy: Yeah.

Angie: So I was already, you know, and the next question she asked me was ‘ what do you think of David Bowie?’ And I said [stammers a bit] ‘He’s a jackass!’ What do you mean what do I think of David Bowie? You know, I haven’t seen him for twenty seven, thirty years, why would I have an opinion on him?

Timothy: Yeah, exactly.

Angie:So um, then of course that became the most quoted thing, you know, coming to the States newspapers. And that’s okay, I don’t mind a bit ‘cause it’s exactly how I feel but it’s boring! I don’t wanna promote him anymore, I’m not being paid for it. I just don’t have time for this now

Timothy:It’s like someone asking me ‘what did you feel like when you went to see Star Wars in the cinema?’ I’ll be like ‘I was seven years old, I have no idea’

Angie:Yeah really and why should I promote them now?

Timothy:Yeah exactly

Angie: They’re part of the culture, you know, ask someone who wrote it, go talk to, you know Lucas

Timothy: Yeah, ask someone who’s actually getting royalties from it

Angie: Yes, exactly. Well that’s the whole thing Timothy: And I know it’s hard to start a discussion with you at one point, but let’s start in America in the 1960’s when you were attending Connecticut College for Women.

Angie: Well I, yeah, uh. I took my A levels when I was fifteen.

Timothy: Mm-hm

Angie: And I wanted to take a year off and my father wouldn’t hear of it. So I couldn’t go to college in England, they wouldn’t let me go, they said ‘sure, come back when you’re eighteen’. But my father said ‘oh well in that case you can go to college in the United States’. So I’m, you know, filled out application forms and I was accepted at Connecticut College for Women. I hated it. It was the most horrible place. I didn’t want to be there. I didn’t understand the girls, I didn’t understand the way they taught. They had these huge classes. I’d never been in a huge class in my life, the biggest I’d ever been in was thirty-two people. I’d never taken a class in an auditorium. And I had performed at the [unintelligible], Expo in 1964 and done the play [unintelligible], for five days, I had done a lot of sophisticated things. But what I had not done was be treated like a, um, a unit to be educated.

Timothy: Right

Angie: And uh, I was appalled. So I fell in love with this girl, and um, because I had done a deal with my father that I wouldn’t get pregnant or embarrass him or sleep with men. Leaving myself the out, I kept thinking to myself ‘well that way I can always sleep with girls, I won’t get pregnant, right?’

Timothy: Well there ya go.

Angie: Well ya gotta make due with what ya got, right? So that was fine, but then I got asked to leave. She got put in the infirmary, I went to visit her there, they tried to sedate me so I leapt out the window and escaped and went and packed my stuff and said ‘ya know what, before you ask me to leave, I’m leaving.’

Timothy: Yeah

Angie: And I went back to my parents from Cyprus, the [unintelligible], who were in New Haven, and from then I got my ticket back to Cyprus.

Timothy: Now Angie, did you consider yourself a lesbian at that time?

Angie: No

Timothy: What did you consider yourself?

Angie: A bisexual

Timothy: Now your autobiography, as one reviewer puts it, and I quote, details your ‘drug-fueled and openly bisexual lifestyle’ together David Bowie and many other well known rockers. Now if you look back at the experiences you’ve had and, you know, speaking of the drugs, the substances you’ve tried, do you think drugs should be legalized?

Angie: Well unfortunately we have to back up a little. Your question is premature.

Timothy: Right, okay.

Angie: I didn’t do any drugs until I was twenty six years old, so, so no. It wasn’t ‘drug fueled’. I didn’t drink and I didn’t smoke.

Timothy: Right.

Angie: And people don’t understand if you start your public life at nineteen.

Timothy: Yes

Angie: That’s eight years of being on the ball, so all this crap about ‘drug-fueled’, you know, that’s in the minds of a wannabe wisher they had been there.

Timothy: Yeah

Angie: Drugs were a, uh, became a part of David’s life three or four years before I had anything to do with it and when I had something to with it, it’s all written in Backstage Passes, I’m not gonna bore myself or you.

Timothy: Yeah

Angie: But…do I think they should be legalized? Yes, I think marijuana should be legalized, I mean as everybody in any civilized country knows. Um, alcohol, I don’t believe in uh, prohibition, but I think every health class in the world ought to explain the effects of alcohol and how stupid it is, and how easy it is to get date raped if you’re already high on alcohol.

Timothy: Yeah

Angie: I think children in, in middle school and high school, like they taught in England-do you know in America if you talk to a kid-probably Canada’s a little better, okay, so I’m not lumping Canada in there-when my daughter was at middle school, I had to sit down, she and three of her friends, they came to me and they said, ‘Mom what is it?’ My daughter had brought these kids in, and she said ‘Mom, I told everybody that if anyone would give us sex education, you would’. And I said absolutely. And I gave them a lecture, I explained to them about all kinds of venereal diseases, every type that there were. Because in England, when we were at college, that information was available.

Timothy: Yeah

Angie: You know, and everyone knew. You went and found out before you slept with somebody. And um, when I finished the lecture, I said ‘well don’t they teach you that? Don’t you have a health class or something?’ I didn’t know. But she was at a private, you know, middle school. Not a-a kind of a state run one, and I guess they just didn’t feel that it was appropriate, I guess they didn’t know whether the parents would, you know, approve of them teaching them that kind of health class, but I think it’s really tragic in the countries where it’s not taught. I’m not pointing fingers at anyone because I’m sure in Europe that is not the case so much but here in America, this is a parochial-ism about matters to do with sexuality that I find very frightening and worrisome.

Timothy: Which is?

Angie: That they’re not taught!

Timothy: Yeah.

Angie: It’s not that they don’t know. I mean really they, get a lot, everyone here, the youngsters here, seem to get most of their information from the television, which is-that’s not a bad thing, I’m not knocking this, I’m just saying I don’t understand. I mean, wouldn’t it be better to give people the facts in a classroom environment and then let them fill it in with what you read in magazines and what you see on television and on the Internet?

Timothy: Yeah

Angie; I just-I worry about things like that. It’s like history. They don’t teach history here properly now. You talk to them about World War II, they actually, you know, my generation-my father was a World War II hero from the Philippines. He wasn’t there to fight in the-he was there as a mining engineer. When the war broke out, when Pearl Harbor started, he was caught in North Lazon. They took to the mountains, he and the men that worked for him, they joined the resistance movement. Because he was ROTC, that meant he had to be commissioned and became an officer. For three years, they fought from the mountains. World War II is a live thing to me.

Timothy: Yeah.

Angie: It’s a part of my father’s life. Now, if we’re not gonna have, ya know, kids who have a relative who can explain it to them, then at least let’s teach it in school so, you know, everyone knows who was on which side, what the-the reasons they went to war were, I mean something. Children don’t know that anymore and that’s not good.

Timothy: Well Angie lets go to back to the topic of sexuality. As a mother yourself, what do you think the most important thing is that parents should teach their children about sexuality?

Angie: I think the most important thing is to remind everyone that children and humans don’t mature until they’re eighteen or nineteen. So sex before eighteen or nineteen-I didn’t have sex with anyone until I was eighteen. My eighteenth birthday, chronicled in Backstage Passes, I had sex with my boyfriend, it was very exciting. Now, the reason for that is, is because a mammal does not mature, get it’s fu-and even then there’s another four or five years after eighteen up to twenty five and twenty six when people fill out and mature. Height, strength in the shoulders, spine all that. Now, if a girl gets pregnant, she has a new weight to bear. So having sex, which-and, and we’re talking historically now where you get pregnant, not, you know, protected sex, this is a new concept from the 20th century, one we learned about birth control and family planning. But you see what I’m saying here.

Timothy: Yeah.

Angie: The best idea would be to wait until your body was big enough to carry it. Now we’re not talking about nine year olds that run up and down the mountains and happen to get pregnant in, uh, strange out-of-the-way South American countries which are, you know, on the cover of the British newspapers all the time. Basically, I think the most important thing is that. Is if you can say ‘look, wait until you’re eighteen so that at least your body is skeletally, you know, in the right place for it’.

Timothy: Right.

Angie: Now the great thing about putting it in that kind of term is, is that it stops being a moral issue, it stops being a judgment issue. It kind of tidies it up along with health. You know, would you drink from a dirty cup in a dumpster?

Timothy: No, definitely not.

Angie: You see what I’m saying?

Timothy: Yeah.

Angie: Why would you have sex with someone that you don’t really know where they’ve been?

Timothy: Mmm

Angie: And it’s like some experiment, and you just wanna like fuck around? Ick!

Timothy: Yeah.

Angie: It’s a dirty cup in a dumpster! You don’t know where the hell it’s been.

Timothy: Yeah.

Angie: So I think by the age of eighteen, you start to think like that. At fourteen and fifteen and sixteen and seventeen, one tends to be less-but, but, it-less aware, but if you’re informed, you try for the purpose of being mature, you know, and grown up and being cool-to think about that stuff so that you don’t act like a jackass. And I’ve acted like a jackass many times in my life, so please don’t think I’m trying to make out I’m so clever, I don’t mean it like that. We learn through our mistakes. In answer to your question, I would say hold onto it just for a bit, you know what I mean.

Timothy: Yeah

Angie: The idea that people have sex so early kind of amazed me. It shocked me. I didn’t realize that people fourteen and fifteen and sixteen years old were having sex. I had no idea. I’m very naïve I suppose in a lot of ways.

Timothy: Now how did you approach the subject yourself, of discussing sexuality with your children? Angie: I, well I never did with my son because I didn’t see him after he was fourteen.

Timothy: Yes

Angie: It wasn’t an issue. With my daughter, she came to me, you know, and we were always very straight forward. I-I just, I have a European attitude about it, thank God, from growing up. God knows Cyprus was no help, but Switzerland and England were a help.

Timothy: Yeah.

Angie. And so um, from that experience, I guess, you know that how I spoke to her about it and then when she came back to me with her friends and asked me to inform them, I realized that I had gotten through to her.

Timothy: Now your daughter is-is Stashia, am I pronouncing that correctly?

Angie: Yeah, Stasha.

Timothy: Stasha, sorry, um-

Angie: No, no, that’s fine. And uh it’s her birthday, it was her birthday yesterday.

Timothy: Oh, well happy birthday yesterday Stasha. How old is she?

Angie: So, uh, oh twenty six.

Timothy: Oh wonderful.

Angie: She called me yesterday and she said ‘oh Mom, thank you for having me’. I thought ‘that’s a very nice thing to say’

Timothy: Oh, I’m sure you were beaming from ear to ear.

Angie: I was! I thought-there was a big grin for quite awhile.

Timothy: Now Angie, this is one thing I-I’ve always been curious about. Um, your son, who now goes by the name Joey, uh, his birth-

Angie: No he doesn’t, his name-he uses Duncan now.

Timothy: Oh he uses Duncan, sorry. But his birth name was Zowie, Zed [sic]-o-w-I-e-

Angie: His birth name-would you like to know this or-

Timothy: Oh yeah tell the story please.

Angie: His name is Duncan Zowie Hayward Jones.

Timothy: Ah.

Angie: That is his name.

Timothy: The myth is dispelled. Now do you find that a-a-that there are a lot of stories about you that are just so wrong?

Angie: Yes! Of course there are, that’s why I don’t pay any attention. I have no interest in any of it.

Timothy: Yeah.

Angie: That’s why I live here.

Timothy: Oh.

Angie: I wouldn’t live in a big city. Why?

Timothy: Yeah.

Angie: Aggravated by a bunch of scumbags who don’t know me?

Timothy: Yeah.

Angie: I did a-when I did the tour for Backstage Passes, I talked to redneck DJs in Texas

Timothy: Uh-huh.

Angie: They called me a whore on the air.

Timothy: Are you serious?

Angie: No, I told them, I said ‘guess what? I don’t have to do this. Fuck you’

Timothy: Yeah, of course.

Angie: Got off. Yeah, I have no interest in the bullshit and the lies, that’s-I, I’ve never been interested, I’ve never been-my area of expertise and my creativity

Timothy: Yeah.

Angie: Is writing, music, and art. I have an A level in History of Art, French, History and English. Those-that’s what I’m interested in. Also anthropology.

Timothy: And Angie, reading your writing, you-I can tell you love words.

Angie: I do

Timothy: And the way they go together, alliteration, asides that are in parentheses, it’s-it’s a joy to read.

Angie: Thank you

Timothy: Yeah

Angie: You’re so kind. I-I love it, and um, I think a lot of my being angry and behaving badly, was having that creativity interrupted by unhappiness.

Timothy: Yes.

Angie: So I-I wanted-because I had brought that up, and I didn’t wanna leave it hanging, I-I want you to know that when I say how we learn from experience.

Timothy: Mmm hmm

Angie: And I-I think you understand as a writer, I don’t really have to explain this to you, maybe I’m explaining it to your listeners. As writers, we can’t really write unless we’ve experienced. It doesn’t mean we have to go to the very depths of depravity or the very heights of ecstasy, but we have to at least have seen it or tasted it to describe it, and that experiential context for being a writer is I think what allows us to live vivid lives

Why Calgary Businesses Should Consider Front Load Dumpster Rentals for Efficient Waste Management

In Calgary, businesses are increasingly aware of the importance of effective waste management. Whether it’s a small cafe or a large retail store, managing waste responsibly is not only a matter of compliance but also a key aspect of maintaining a clean, organized business environment. Many businesses are turning to specialized waste management services that offer various solutions tailored to their needs. One of the most efficient options available for ongoing waste disposal is front load dumpster rental. These dumpsters offer flexibility, efficiency, and cost savings, making them an ideal choice for businesses in Calgary.

Understanding Front Load Dumpster Rentals

A front load dumpster is a type of waste container designed for long-term use, primarily at commercial sites. Unlike roll-off dumpsters, which are typically reserved for short-term projects like construction or renovation, front load dumpsters are emptied on a regular schedule, making them perfect for businesses with ongoing waste disposal needs.

Front load dumpsters are built for durability, with lids that keep trash secure and prevent any unpleasant odors from affecting the surrounding area. These dumpsters are also space-efficient, designed to fit conveniently into parking lots or other designated areas without occupying much space. For Calgary businesses, this means minimal disruption and a more organized waste disposal solution.

Advantages of Front Load Dumpsters for Commercial Properties

Space Efficiency: Front load dumpsters are compact and can be placed in small spaces, which is ideal for businesses with limited outdoor space. Unlike roll-off bins, which need more room and are often better suited for short-term projects, front load dumpsters are unobtrusive and provide an ideal long-term solution.

Cost-Effective Waste Collection: Opting for a front load dumpster can be more economical than other disposal methods, especially for businesses with consistent waste output. With scheduled pickups, companies only pay for the services they need without the need for on-demand waste removal.

Customizable Pickup Schedules: Front load dumpster rentals come with flexible pickup schedules, allowing businesses to adjust frequency based on their waste production. Whether weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, a business can choose the schedule that best suits its operations, ensuring prompt waste removal without disruption.

Environmentally Friendly: Regular waste pickup and containment mean less risk of litter, leakage, or overflow, promoting cleaner surroundings. Waste in Motion ensures that the waste collected is managed in an environmentally responsible manner, further contributing to Calgary’s sustainability goals.

Grievances | Matthew Tkachuk

Summary: Y/N loses a sentimental object from a family member that passed away. Matthew becomes a pest at the worst time and has to make up for it

No one said that losing a family member was easy. When that family member happens to be the person that raised you, it makes the pain so much worse. For Y/N, that person was her Grandmother Rose. The woman had always been Y/N’s rock. She was her role model and losing her had been such a terrible thing to go through. Everyone in Y/N’s family had seen just how big of an impact the loss of Rose had on their relative. Y/N was struggling, and try as she might- she wasn’t doing well.

Through her grievances, the woman had resorted to house work to distract herself from the loss. She cleaned her car more than once- and had done her boyfriend’s laundry more times in the last week than he had done in the last year.

It wasn’t easy for Matthew to watch his girlfriend to go through this. He knew what mourning felt like- that heavy weight of grief that somehow took residence in your chest and felt like it had been there for years. To the point where it was impossible to remember what you felt like when it wasn’t there.

He had done his best to help Y/N along the way- when they first got the news, he pulled out of the Roadie he was on and flew home just to be with her in Calgary. He might have been a pest, an asshole even- but deep down he knew how to be a good guy. If that meant losing some of his credibility as a troublemaker in the hockey world he didn’t care. His girl needed him.

The first two days were unbelievable. When Matthew was younger he used to have nightmares as a kid- often they were of what lurked in the dark or the monsters that lurked under his bed. But after hearing Y/N cry for two days straight- her sobs became the horrors that haunted him.

He thought that she was making progress over the week. She had diverted her energy into cleaning rather than crying- and in his mind, that was a step forward. At least the apartment was being looked after and she wasn’t becoming drained from balling her eyes out right?

He thought that things were getting better.

Which is why he didn’t expect to find her digging inside the trash can when he came home from his game. But hey, it’s a friday night. Things can get crazy. Matt walked into the house and made his way to the kitchen, watching her in amusement. She was so focused on looking for something in the trash that she didn’t notice him entering the house. He watched for a couple of moments before smirking “What are you a raccoon? Why are you digging inside the trash?” He asked, trying to play things off with a playful jab. Y/N did nothing but gulp and let out a sigh as she looked up “Matt, I’m not in the mood for this.” She said softly and his eyes soften a bit at the sight of his girlfriend looking back at him with tears in her eyes and a frown on her face.

She calmed herself for second- taking a deep breath and biting her lip. “Have you seen Grandma’s Necklace?” she asked worriedly. There was a crease in her brow and for the first time since he had walked in, Matt noticed that she wasn’t playing with the gold pendant that had been practically glued to her neck since her grandma passed.

When Y/N realized that Matthew had no clue where the delicate piece of jewelry was, she couldn’t help but sniffle. The tears started to fall down her cheeks and Matthew immediately jumped into ‘Protective Boyfriend’ mode. “Do you remember where you last saw it?” He questioned as he sat with her as he began looking through the trash too and she sniffled and shook her head and he sighed “Well, I have no practice tomorrow morning.. We can find it, don’t worry” She was grateful for Matt in her time of need. He may be a jerk but he had a heart too.

After hours of looking, she hung her head in defeat when they couldn’t find the necklace and Matt looked at her softly. “Come on- don’t beat yourself up- it’s got to be around here somewhere.” he did his best to reassure her.

They had sat in the kitchen, surrounded by bags of trash for far too long but still come up empty handed. “We can check the living room okay?” Matthew tried to give her some hope- but after another thirty minutes or so of finding nothing, he could see that she was running out of patience.

“How could I be so reckless!” Y/N snapped, grabbing the pillow from the couch and hitting the wall with it angrily. She had bitter frustration coursing through her veins and she wasn’t sure how much more she could take.

Matthew reached out gingerly and took the pillow from her, not wanting her to break anything. “Hey- how about we don’t murder the lamps okay? I promise you they don’t have the necklace.” He tried to bring a smile to her face.

Unfortunately, all he received was a defeated sob as she sunk into the couch. Y/N let the cushions consume her, she wrapped herself up in the blanket and looked down. “I let her down Matt- She left me the necklace… and within a week I lost it.” she buried her head into her hands.

Shaking his head, Matthew reached out and pulled her into his embrace. “Listen to me- your grammy is so proud of you- the necklace is nothing but jewelry. Sure it belonged to Rose, but she is still in your heart-” he promised her. “I know that is stupid to say, but no material item is going to keep her with you- you will always remember her because she was an important person in your life.” he held her hand tightly.

“Even if we never find that necklace… she is still- with you.” he poked her chest where her heart would be before kissing the top of her head delicately. They stayed like that for a few minutes- before Matthew knew it, Y/N had fallen asleep against his chest.

For once, he was actually happy that she had fallen asleep on one of his nights off. He knew just how badly she needed the rest and relaxation. Peeling away from her- the hockey player laid her down and covered her in a blanket.

If it meant he had to stay up all night and go to sleep when the sun began to rise, he was going to find that damn necklace.

True to his convictions, Matthew was still awake around five-thirty in the morning. He had searched the apartment from top to bottom, he had climbed under their bed- he even checked in the garbage dumpster that was in the bottom of the apartment complex.

He walked into the bathroom to get a shower for the day- and hopefully rid himself of that awful trash smell when he suddenly had an idea. The man had never moved so quickly. He pulled the stack of towels off of the bathroom shelf and peeked behind it.

Laying on the floor pinched between the toilet and the bathtub was a shining gold pendant- engraved with roses and thorns. The necklace.

He swooped the piece of jewelry up in his hands, taking caution just to make sure he didn’t tangle the chain. Walking back into the living room, he sat on his knees in front of the couch where Y/N was still asleep.

“Hey- sleepy head.” Matthew grinned, poking at her cheek and shaking her awake. Slowly, the girl started to stir and she peeled her eyes open. “What time is it?” she groaned.

Chuckling quietly to himself, Matthew smirked. “Doesn’t matter- Guess what I found?” he grinned, holding up the necklace.

As if she had been struck by lightning, Y/N launched upwards- grabbing the necklace out of his hands. “You found it!” she gasped. She took the pendant carefully and put it on with his help before wrapping her arms around him tightly as a thank you.

“Where was it?” she asked softly.

Matthew shrugged. “The bathroom floor- it was behind the toilet. You must have taken it off when you got a shower and it fell.” he told her. It was true, she always took her jewelry off before she washed her hands, went swimming, showered just in case she got it wet. She didn’t want to risk it rusting.

Y/N had never been more in love with Matthew than that moment. She pulled him close and kissed his lips tenderly. “Thank you matt… really- what would I do without you?” she asked rhetorically.

Matthew smirked. “Probably age gracefully.” He teased.

i learned that a man in Calgary rescued a baby from a dumpster and later found out he was the father (x)

The mother, Meredith Borowiec, had previously dumped two other babies in the trash, whose bodies were never found.

I work in oil and gas. I saw first hand what sort of shit the PCs pulled. I saw Jason Kenney's federal handiwork as Immigration Minister at work with unqualified TFWs being brought onto sites and blowing up propane cylinders because they all had faked their qualifications and didn't understand anything. I saw hundreds of people lose their jobs because of poor planning from previous governments. I got a front row seat to incredible shitshow that was carbon capture, where the client's engineers were actively talking about what a white elephant carbon capture was, and how it was a giant make work project at the province's expense. I helped build extraction facilities that were slated from the start to funnel our money to the US, extraordinarily blatantly to a Calumet refinery in Montana that was designed solely to profit at the expense of Canadians. I saw the only value-added project at NWR come around because Redford was trying to use it as a Hail Mary to distract people, which, by the way, was notorious as being never really supposed to happen outside of the surveying and being a way for Stelmach's ranching buddies to sell the province their land at a premium over a premium.

And on the commercial side of things, well, I'm well aware of the scramble that's come around because of our failing infrastructure. Amazing what happens when you don't build things where they're needed. Things like new hospitals to serve growing areas, which, I'm sorry to inform you, are not really rural areas. But do end up serving rural areas, when they end up driving to Edmonton or Calgary when they need the sort of services that need to have things like dedicated lab networks, which can only really exist where there is everyone that has to staff all of those primary and supporting services.

There was a huge thing about the previous PC governments, that that was crony capitalism. I'd never vote for anyone out to destroy the people that built this province. Or their kids, whether they're little gay kids that need a GSA for support or ones trying to fund post-secondary that don't deserve to be paid less for their hard work. Or the health care system, which, interestingly enough, is mostly inefficient because of our incredibly overbuilt rural health care network. It's awesome, because everyone deserves the right to be healthy and not have to be med-evaced everywhere. But I know that if I was looking for something to slash to bring down costs, that would be a pretty tempting cherry. Assuming that it's not outright privatized.

The fact of the matter is is that Alberta succeeded in spite of our governments. And we finally have a premier who's not looking to line their own pockets or reward their friends with sweetheart contracts. And you want to go back to that, because you've got rose coloured glasses on. Well, I sincerely hope that you can afford the consequences, because it's gonna fall on every single person who's not a "job creating" business owner. Things like toll roads (which, interestingly enough, will cost the rural Albertan more than me), public-private partnerships that never work out right but end up enriching shareholders out of the taxpayer's pocket, and catering to the charter schools of faith-supremacist groups at the expense of our public school systems.

But yeah, let's act like the Carbon Tax is the big problem. And that if we axe the provincial one, the federal one won't instantly come into play and take all that money out of the province. Because that's the biggest thing about it, that if we don't have a provincial one in place, the federal one comes in, and it's Ottawa that decides where the funds from that one goes. And it sure won't be Alberta, because that's not efficient at buying votes. Dumping it into BC, or the Maritimes, or Quebec... that's bang for your buck at a federal level. Sure, Trudeau might not be leader next election, but he is now. And that's where he'll dump it. Andrew Scheer, on the other hand, talks a big game about dumping it, but he'll almost certainly be seduced by the idea of a giant slush fund that he can try and shore up support in Ontario with. Why kill the golden goose when you can make omelets, after all? And why spend in Alberta, when Alberta has shown that they'll vote for a blue rock even if a Conservative government changes the equalization formula to funnel even more money to Quebec from Alberta (ask Kenney about that one, after all, he was part of the government that drafted that revision and he voted for it personally).

If you're looking for someone to blame for the devastation, then it's probably best that we all take the late Jim Prentice's advice, and look in the mirror. Because he was right, and it was all our faults for electing Don Getty. And letting Ralph Klein blow up a hospital so he could pay for a cardboard sign. And for letting Ed Stelmach have an entire mandate dictated by backroom party hacks. And for letting Alison Redford live her petro-shiekh fantasies on our dime. At least we showed Prentice what happens when you come down from on high without any real answers. But hey, Jason Kenney totally won't be like the rest. It's not like he started out on the payroll of US lobby groups taking pet issue stances for pay. It's not like he sold out Canadians by rubber stamping TFWs and letting big companies do whatever they want, federally. And it's not like he hasn't come out and said that his platform is going to hurt Albertans (to be fair, that was one of his candidates, and he just didn't refute it).

But yeah, the NDP are the problem for trying to deal with 40 years of mismanagement. So let's get rid of someone competent who's stood up for Albertans because they started in the worst case scenario and has been steadily working to bring things back to the best of what this province can be. After all, Rachel Notley won her leadership race fair and square, so obviously she can't be devious enough to drive this province back into being a dumpster fire, since she didn't have a federal MP's job to get paid not to do while rigging a leadership campaign against rivals.

Also, because I forgot:

THE PREMIER OF ALBERTA DOES NOT SET OIL PRICES.

Which, you know, is one huge reason that we've had problems with revenues besides slashing the tax base. And I do mean YUUUUUUUUUUGE, with a Y, because it comes right out of the supply side handbook.
