Pulse Nightclub Opens August 27th, 2010




Pulse Nightclub opened their doors for business last night in Lethbridge with mostly positive reviews.

Some people were disappointed they did not make more changes to the former Roadhouse Bar and Grill (AKA  The Stab House). One such customer said "All they did was paint the walls grey and threw up a couple of banners".

Other customers commented on the increased security and in general most people seemed to have had a great time.

Another customer said "It doesn't smell like piss anymore, it actually smells clean, they moved the men's washroom to a more central location and added additional stalls so guys can piss, puke, and bleed in a more convenient location".

XXXXXX suffered the most notable loss in business to Pulse and I fully expect that trend to continue. In my opinion XXXXXX is a hole in the wall and it would not take much for Pulse to provide a more aesthetically pleasing atmosphere.

I am not surprised a lot of my suggestions of what they should do with the building actually happened (link to post).

I believe Pulse will continue to be a popular hot spot for the younger crowd, as the Roadhouse once was.

Party Bus Allegedly Pulled Over For Underage Drinking...

A XXXXXX Limousine party bus was pulled over Monday evening before midnight at 3rd Avenue South and 5th Street.


At first it appeared as though the police were dumping liquor on the ground outside of the vehicle. I pulled up beside the scene a fair distance away and could hear someone say "Is anyone here eighteen" (I am unsure whether or not it was the police or a passenger). The police were interrogating the passengers as they were lined up on the sidewalk with multiple police officers on the scene. There were approximately twenty passengers.

At least four police cruisers were involved in the situation as well as two bike patrol officers.

The crowd slowly dispersed after questioning and a female passenger was especially upset about the incident. The police dumped a lot of liquid onto the street (I am sure it must have been alcohol). At one point there was liquid being dumped directly from the rear underside of the vehicle. I was unsure of what it was but it was streaming from the bus, maybe there is a built in bar with a keg or something on the bus.

Anyway.... I do not believe any arrests were made but I do believe that the driver of the party bus received some sort of ticket because he was looking at a piece of paper as he walked back to his bus from the police cruiser.

The people that were on the bus dispersed into Galt Gardens.

First Couple of Days Back..../ Parked Car Incident

I was pretty nervous on Friday night. I had not driven a taxi for around 4 months and was worried I would fuck up somehow or not remember where even the simplest of places were.

My second trip I picked up a family at XXXXXX. I got out of the car to help with the groceries and immediately noticed the daughter, she was maybe 18ish. She was wearing a revealing top and must have had EEE  tits (if there is such a size)  just dangling from her young chest. My god I tried my best not to look but just could not help myself.

So this girl decides to get in the front with me while her mom and guy get in the back. Long story short I was nervous. I mean come on, having the most gigantic tits flopping around on a young woman right beside you while her mom is in the backseat is nerve racking.

So I was about two houses away from their place when BAM! I hit a parked car, the noise was loud and it was obvious. I acknowledged that I thought I hit the vehicle on this narrow side street while passing an oncoming vehicle. I got paid and they said the other car was too far away from the curb, which it may have been but I still hit the fucking thing.

I helped them with their groceries and had a "second, or third and fourth, look if you will", I know I probably sound like a pervert right about now but that is untrue, I am just male.

So I went to look at the car I hit and there was no damage whatsoever, our mirrors had contacted each other and there was nothing further to be done.

If I have anything else to say about this post it is this... to the mother "I know it must be hard, and perhaps even expensive, finding a suitable bra for your daughter but you have to come up with something, next time I am going to pop a huge boner while I unload your toilet paper and other shit. I only wish she had somehow drowned so I could have given her mouth to mouth.

.................................................................

I met a guy Friday that was telling about when the XXXXXX was foreclosed by the bank and the new owners had found about 30 mattresses in the basement, along with syringes and crack pipes. He promised to get a hold of me so I could upload the photos that were taken, I am unsure whether that will happen or not but I believe the story, which may be completely false. If I had the pictures I would be able to prove the story, but until then it is just here say.

.................................................................

Saturday night was slow as hell, I think I made three dollars during my first two hours on shift. It ended up as a somewhat decent night. Basically I worked for eight hours for absolutely nothing but was rewarded handsomely during my last few hours during the bar scene.

XXXXXX was crazy tonight and I believe that when XXXXXX opens next week they will lose a lot of business. Apparently DJ. XXXXXX is playing the old XXXXXX for their opening.

That's enough for me tonight.

One More Time

I will be back in the drivers seat tomorrow evening and you can expect more stories to follow.

With the influx of new students in Lethbridge it just seems like the right time to get back into the business. I basically took the entire summer off and am bored out of my mind. I need some excitement and believe me driving a taxi can be an invigorating experience, to say the least.

Court Date for Traffic Ticket

I forgot to mention I did not have to pay the $172 ticket I was issued a few months back.

I was lucky because the police officer decided to be lenient and gave me a lesser ticket than careless driving.

I went to court and asked the Crown Prosecutor for a reduction on the ticket, he agreed to around $60 off. I declined and went to trial where the police officer and I presented our evidence.

I successfully argued that I was able to operate the steering wheel, braking system, and signaling device.

The magestrate (I do not believe he was a Judge) decided I was not guilty of the ticket I was issued but he would have found me guilty of careless driving.

I am happy I was found not guilty but did learn my lesson and will not film while driving again.

Response

This person has been sending me bashful comments on a few posts and I am tired of it. So if you sent these comments I have not removed them but think you should go fuck yourself and lay off.

You are a disgusting and vile excuse for a human being! These girls don't do that because they want to, they do it because they have to, and YOU exposing them DOES NOT HELP in any way. You sick pervert guaranteed you jack off when you're filming every one of those. Then you jack off to them again when you get home and watch them. Makes you feel like a BIG MAN filming vulnerable street walkers and posting them online doesn't it! You are no better than them in any way. You better watch out before one of there pimps smashes your head open after shoving your camera up your ass. Just because you have more freedom here than in your own country DOESN'T mean you can destroy the freedom and privacy of others. You sick paki taxi driver, go back home to your dirt country where you belong.

You have it all wrong. At least you openly acknowledge that there is a prostitution problem and there are pimps helping these girls and busting skulls. In at least one case that I know of the husband is reportedly the hookers pimp.

These women do have a choice, if you say they do not have a choice except to suck cock and fuck random guys for money and drugs then I did not have any choice but to film them on the street in a public place. Also in no way for any sexual gratification or voyeurism.

I believe filming these women does help... some random guy who might be thinking of banging one of these HIV positive prostitutes might think twice. I also can not confirm that any of them have any sort of sexually transmitted disease because those records are held in confidence.

Random ... The other day I was asked to pull over by two prostitutes in a vehicle. I knew they were hookers but they did not know me. I did pull over and they came up and asked me if I wanted to party, one girl flashed me and told me they were hookers. I declined their offer and they were pissed off. I guess soliciting by car has additional expenses.

Your racism and persecution towards people of XXXXXX descent is beyond me. I am not from XXXXXX. I am Canadian and was born in Canada. I do not know where you are from but here in Lethbridge I would guess 80 percent of taxi drivers are XXXXXX, likely of Canadian Nationality. So to judge me based on viewing a couple of videos is ludicrous. If you want me to "go back to my dirt country where I belong" I guess I am already here.

Filming people in public is generally not illegal, especially if they are in the act of doing something illegal; such as soliciting and prostitution. As for voyeurism it is unfounded because there is no sexual inference what so ever.

So go to the police and do whatever you need to do. Most of the videos were filmed or recorded from my personal vehicle so I am not required to inform people they are being filmed or to obtain consent.

Thanks for your 20 comments on random pages bashing me. I really do not care. As a matter of fact it humors me.

XXXXXX with AIDS tells me to FUCK OFF

Even if she had money I would not have let her in the car.

Random Pictures

Random photo dump, I probably should have made a photo gallery but I just do not care. Mostly pictures of Lethbridge buildings and landscapes. Click photos to view in full browser mode.

 I did ask for permission to take pictures of the Lethbridge County Airport. I walked into the airport and found a security guard who basically laughed in my face for even asking for permission to take pictures of the airport  (he said it was fine), so I took full advantage and a few of the pictures are below.
