I'm that guy that has always wanted to be a youtuber or become a outdoor media influencer of some sort but never had a clue how or where to start....I still don't have a clue ! ha ha. My name is Swarts, my passion in life has and always will be pursing happiness in the outdoors.
My life has always revolved around my next trip, outing or expedition, the great Canadian wilderness is always calling my name. Some of my most amazing experiences have come while being in nature sea kayaking in Mexico, kite surfing in the Magdalen Islands, white water rafting on the Ottawa River, Stand up paddling boarding from New Brunswick to Prince Edward Island and most recently for the last 6 years I have been addicted to fly fishing for atlantic salmon.
This is me, 29 years old married to the most amazing woman in the world with 2 dogs and 5 cats, not my call on the cats ha ha. Since I was 18 years old I've been on the move, college, then moved 1500km across the country to the east coast and started working my ass off to make a name for myself. For the last 8 years I've been working full time in the ski industry as head of the snowmaking department and terrain parks. Yeah I pretty much make snowflakes for a living its pretty cool ha ha. The job although sounds cool is anything but easy, its the hardest job I have ever done both physically and mentally. We work with in a very dangerous environment, usually at night in the bitter cold, dealing with high water pressure and compressed air systems, pumped through pipelines, where we hook up hoses to snow guns and make man made snow on the ski trails.
Its been a good ride I've seen and done some crazy shit but its taken more of a toll on my body and brain then I will ever care to admit. So here we are, the next chapter in my life....what the hell am I gonna do? If I'm not on the move all the time, not at the center of the action and not pushing my body to the limits?
To be honest, I'm gonna chill the hell out a little, give my body and brain time to heal. Spent more time with my wife and dogs, fish and build a new career working from home. For now I have a new job working full time hours from home making a good paycheck, I' m happy, relaxed and adjusting to a new life style. This youtube channel will hopefully lead me down a entire new career that I could only have only dreamed of, if you folks enjoyed what you've read check out some of my content on youtube Swarts Streaming and if things look fishy enough for you then smac

Everyone says it’s ridiculous, but the only franchise I can compare F&F to anymore is the James Bond series (level of suspension of disbelief, action and series longevity) and they went to space on their 11th film, and that was in 1979.
I look forward to the following things happening:
- Vin Diesel telling the control crew they got this before they start pulling random shit out of the rocket and pretending to wrench stuff
- Ludacris installing an oversized canister of NOS
- Coronas being loaded up (bringing back for Pablo and you know I’ve been drinking them tonight)
- Tyrese flirting with some NASA honeys
- Michelle Rodriguez staying back with Vin’s kid and saying some shit about family
- The rocket failing to launch but then Ludacris flips a switch and the NOS goes off
- Moon buggy car chase
And finally when they get out of the cars, Vin Diesel gets out first and says
THAT’S ONE SMALL STEP FOR MAN, ONE GIANT LEAP FOR FAMBLY
===========================
Edit. Didn’t expect this to blow up this big, but always glad to see some F&F love in /r/movies
Here’s your second dose of corona fueled nonsense
My biggest hope for F9 is that they get rid of Scott Eastwood, I don’t want him killed off or a send off just Kurt Russell being like “kid got transferred” and we all forget he ever existed because his character is the worst.
Who I WANT to join the franchise is Dylan O’Brien. Dylan been building a solid resume and has done his share of motorcycle (too soon?) and gun scenes. I think he could be a good addition to the family and some young blood to the franchise.
How will they add a new character?
They don’t. Because he was there the whole time, we go back in the franchise and pick literally ANY FUCKING KID that Vin Diesel helped out or handed a soda to and retcon Dylan into the kid. Then we have Dylan be a young car genius working for Cypher and you know when Vin Diesel sees him he’ll recognize him because Dominic Toretto never forgets a nino! Sad backstory about Dylan losing his family and Vin Diesel tries to bring him in out of guilt, but Dylan rejects it and goes back to cypher
END OF ACT TWO IN SPACE
Vin Diesel has gone out of the space station without a suit to stop a meteor from heading to earth (because earth is his fambly now too), but is left stranded without a

EDIT: darn! should say now in the title, not "not"*
As the title says, I have a year review coming up next Thursday. I've incurred a lot of abuse from this company and am actively looking for a job elsewhere, but there aren't many openings in my small-ish town apart from retail and labor.
I feel like I'm being grossly underpaid to do specialized work that I wasn't even hired for. I've been a project manager, designed and built several website for this company, ran a 9-month ad campaign (including designing all the materials that went out), become a salesforce administrator, and done the work of my colleagues (who all make over double what I make) while they slack off....all while making less than my friends who work retail and with no recognition from my manager and boss.
In my year here, I've realized that I know more about these things than my colleagues, but (hate to make this a gender/age thing, but my boss is from an oppressive culture) since they're older men and I'm a younger female, half the time my boss just assumes my colleagues did the work and doesn't believe me when I explain that it was actually me.
How do I approach this at my review? Do I bring a list of all the work I've done, along with the average salaries from these fields in our area? I don't know that I have enough time to get a counter offer from another company and I'm not sure an opening at another company nearby even exists....
Thank you
What age or moment would that be? Mine would be Age 60, because at that point your future is secure, you’ve done everything so there’s no pressure to accomplish much - and you get to have a go at young people (and a bunch of what I do now would be acceptable at that age).
I’m sorry, but I can’t stand to watch Leah’s story anymore. It’s soooo boring. I’m glad she and her girls are doing well, but it’s just background noise at this point for me. Then, Briana’s big thing on the show this episode was a wasp in the house? Uhh. Ok? I want to watch people with actual problems like Rachel Beaver lol.
I give Chelsea a lot of credit for stepping away when she noticed her time was up. She reached her full potential on the show and left.
Notably, I’ve listened to and halfway through got over it for:
- Corporate Courage
- Corporate Cowardice
- Police Training & Police Cowardice
The first two feel kind of like Sam’s hobby horse of free speech and companies that are penalized or sanctioned for their business decisions in “political speech” or “culture war” or whatever. The last felt like doing his buddy a favor and just a very long ad.
They all seem much less science, social science, or philosophy oriented and just kind of indulging private sector buddies and patting them on the back for a long time on what they did. I can’t help but find them very boring. Am I alone? Have you all been iffy on those or other recent episodes too?
I think this tool came from The Naked Mind book? Golfing with 3 friends today, none of them know of my drinking problem or that I’m trying to quit. Beer cart girl comes around and they all order a beer, I think what the hell one beer on the golf course, that’s what you’re supposed to do! These are the fun drinks.
I remember the fast forward tip. I picture one beer turning to three. Then a pint after the game. Then I go home and have a few more drinks since I have a buzz going. Wake up tomorrow and feel like shit and reset the clock again. Ordered a water. Nobody cared, had a great game and looking back I know that would have been the wrong choice. The fast forward technique really saved me.
IWNDWYT!
Love Guy Ritchie, when I heard he was doing a King Arthur film I was ecstatic. I truly love the film, from the story, to the cinematography, to the music, to the characters. Great work, Jude Law is such an awesome villain. Plus his motivations and sacrifices were really interesting. It just feel really obvious that this film is meant to be there hours and the studio forced Guy to cut it under 2 hours. The whole Dark Lands montage felt like 2 mins, boy I wish that section was longer. The whole film felt like one gigantic montage. This is a film I hope I can find the Directors cut for some day because the pacing is all over the place.
As in people walking always look funny, and not realistic
Just saying..
I’ll go first: Truely being in the hospital, because now that I have a toddler it makes me an emotional wreck, and both of Maddie’s labors, because, ew, they were ROUGH.
I'm not going to be here much longer..
But I still want a summary of what I missed. I just need to tell someone how much I hate Andrei. I hate him more then Debbie loves Colt. I hate him more than Pao loves Pao. I hate him more than Family Jihoon anal is clean. I hate him more than Ronald has a gambling problem and more than Stefanie has a chronic illness. I could go on but that’s not the point. Who volunteers to watch this asshole and then summarize for me?
Mother is a typical abusive narcissist. Social worker said “she’s still your mother, she does care”. Persecutor goes fucking nuts. He still mad as shit and I can feel it in my chest. Fuck damn. He just shut us down and said no.
Social worker doesn’t want to admit that mom is a terrible person at the core because it’s nicer to cover it up. Just small remarks insisting she’s terrible, never up front admitting she is. What is that?
This was supposed to be a good day, a good day being outside managing “normal” life. Nope.
