Some Random Trips

A pretty classic bar trip. I picked up three males and one female from Boss Hogs and took them to get some off sale. They got the off sale and then we made a stop at a house so the woman could let her dog out. She asked me if she could bring the dog along instead. Sure why not. So they want to go to Burger King, then off to get smokes, but while I stopped at 7-11 because I clearly heard someone ask me to stop there I guess they said they never asked me to stop. So we finally arrive at there place so they can continue with their drinking and partying when the first guy got out with the beer he dropped it onto the pavement. The case hit the ground hard and the sound of broken glass was loud. It turned out not a single beer survived. He said he had more beer in the house. Anyway.

Thanks to the lady who fixed my time on the vehicle because I clearly have no idea.

 I watched this guy staggering around Boss Hoggs for quite some time. Another guy came out of the bar and took a hard spill down the stairs, hitting his head on the ground, when the first drunk guy tried to come to the other drunk guys aid and was unable to help him get up (because they were both just fucked) so a third guy comes along and helps the guy who fell down back on his feet no problem. 

The staggering drunk guy that I had my eye on comes up to my car and gets in. I asked him where he wanted to go and he was really trying hard to think but couldn't come up with any sort of address. All he that he knew was that he had to get to "Reddins house", not having any clue who that is I couldn't take him anywhere. I let him sit in the car for a few minutes watching him struggle so hard to try to remember where he had to go. I eventually politely asked him to get out because he didn't know where he was going, and he got out.

If you are planning on getting so fucked up that you won't remember where it is you need to go, write the address down on a piece of paper before going out or you might just end up in the drunk tank. Also while I was first watching him his friend and girl were with him and they pretty much abandoned him as a lost cause I think.

......

I was driving these girls home the other day and they started asking me about pukers. I explained that it doesn't happen nearly as often as people think when one girl started telling me about this cab driver that picked up her friend and she puked in his cab and that he never charged her for the cleaning or something. She also mentioned that she left her debit card in the cab and that the driver returned it the next day and that the cab driver had stalked her on facebook. Well I remember that trip and explained that she hadn't actually puked in the car but in her mouth and in her hands. I denied stalking her on facebook although after I dropped them off I vaguely recalled sending her some kind of message. I wasn't sure that they actually believed that it was me that had taken her home that night. I spurted off her address and I don't think there was much doubt after that. I drove the original girl (A.A.) home like over three years ago so it seemed wierd that they would mention it to me. Not sure the of the date but I did write a story about her.

Update on Traffic Court

Relating to the burnt out brake light and crossing the center line alleged offences.

I received the crown prosecutors full disclosure which amounted to the officers hand written notes, which I am not able to talk about.

I arrived to court early and well dressed on the day they asked me to appear. I was fully prepared to defend myself. There is a security checkpoint upon entering the courthouse and they ask you to remove any metal objects you have and to empty your pockets.

I was carrying my Smith and Wesson handcuffs and plopped them in the box, as well as my notes, car keys, etc. The security officer asked me if I was in law enforcement or a security guard. I said no. They asked me if I was in the criminal justice program or if I had any qualifications to carry the hand cuffs. I again said no, I explained that I had them with me in case I was sentenced to go to jail for my $30 ticket that I would prefer to wear my own handcuffs. They made me return the handcuffs and key to my vehicle, which I did.

I went back in and they said I still had the handcuff keys on my key chain. I explained that those were fake cloverleaf handcuff keys and that I had left the real keys in the vehicle.

Anyway. So they let me in and as soon as I saw the 100 person line up I knew I was not going to trial that day. I had forgotten about this step. It was only a notice to appear and not the actual trial. So I waited and waited and finally got to the front of the line and entered a plea of not guilty on both tickets. I explained I was not happy the full disclosure was so empty and did not provide me with the name of officers partner, whom was there during the citation. I explained that I wanted to subpoena the officer as a potential defence witness. They said I would have to do the leg work on my own and that I would be responsible for paying the officer's wages at time and a half.

I likely will not do that. So my trial for the burnt out brake light and the crossing the center line alleged offences will be in a few months.

Lawn Surfing

I was driving these college girls back to their residence one night when they asked me to stop so they could go lawn surfing. I didn't really know what they meant but I stopped anyways. They all got out but one girl and went running off. I was thinking "what the fuck is going on" when they started coming back with random objects from peoples front lawns.

They asked me to stop maybe three times. Their total take from the night was...

1 mail box
1 20kg bag of sand
1 wrought iron chair
1 flower basket full of dirt
1 small blue flag
2 security signs

Why did they do this? I don't know exactly.

Random Encounter

Do you think I took advantage of this woman? I don't believe I did but it is unlikely I will do this sort of thing again...

So I picked up this young woman from Studio 54 around 12:01 AM a couple of days ago and on the way to the University Residence she stopped at a bank machine. She couldn't get any cash and decided that she was going to walk to the West side of town (not a short walk).

I watched her walk off and she was only wearing a skimpy little purple dress and she was by herself. I decided I would just take her home for free. I pulled up along side her and told her I would do just that.

She got in a we were off to the West side. We started talking and by the time we had gotten to the University Residence she had invited me in for a beer. I declined and declined and finally said I have some beer in the back (that someone had given me as a tip the week before) and decided to hang out with her for a bit.

So we were sitting in the University parking lot and she had convinced me to have a beer with her (it ended my taxi driving night right there, I didn't care to work much anyway). So we were drinking our beers and chatting away for at least an hour. Damn she was so sexy. At one point she grabbed my hand and was holding it on top of her legs. So after about an hour of just chatting in the taxi she asked me to come inside her dorm. I agreed and parked the taxi and followed her into her place.

Once inside we sat down on the futon couch type thing and I observed that she and others had been playing sociables earlier in the evening, the rules were written down on a piece of paper and there were playing cards on the coffee table, also there were empty bottles around.

She was getting kind of flirty and we started making out on the couch. I noticed that her blinds were open and as she lives on the bottom floor it was easy for people to see inside. She wasn't concerned at all and I really didn't care either. We made out for some time and she was getting pretty touchy feely as she was grinding and bouncing on top of me. I was having fun with this woman but at one point I looked into her eyes and her pupils her very dilated and I didn't think that she was going to remember much of what was currently happening. So I stopped myself from taking it any further and our clothes stayed on.

Also during this time we were interupted by some random people that came into her dorm, which was shared with two other people. I met two other woman and a guy (they did not live with her). There were three guys that came in (so I didn't meet them all) and went into another womans bedroom. I have no clue what they were doing in there but I didn't really care. I figured after they were probably just pranking their friend or something.

So they left and we wrapped things up. She wanted to go outside for a cigarette so we went and sat in the vehicle. We went for a little drive. We were parked in a pretty secluded area on the University grounds and she was crawling into the back to grab another beer. Such a nice up skirt view by the way. Well she got her leg stuck somehow and I had to assist her in getting free. I have no idea how she managed to get as solidly stuck as she was but it happened. She got free and we tried to chase this porcupine around on foot (sort of).

So we get back to her building and say our goodbys. I was watching her to make sure that she got inside ok when all of a sudden she comes running back and says that she had lost her key. She started freaking out and was telling me about her problems she has/is faced/facing with bulimia and how she spent a year in a wheelchair and is currently suicidal and wants to kill herself. Holy fuck what a change of attitude. I didn't really know what to say or what to do.

I am not going into detail about that but I gave her a hug. It was such a sad story it made me cry a bit. I felt so sad for this girl. I just wanted to help her out. So we talked for another couple hours. At around 4:30am I convinced her maybe it was time to go to sleep and I helped her to the back door of her building where she said she could get in. This whole time I assumed she had been locked out because she forgot her key and was saying how it costs $300 to replace. Once we get to the back door we said goodbye again and gave each other a hug. Then she pulls out a key and opens the door. What the fuck? I think she just completely made that part up to continue hanging out with me. I wasn't just going to leave her without a key stuck outside her place.

Anyway, that was pretty much that. Just a random encounter with a stranger. I really did enjoy the conversation I had with her and she seemed really nice. Kinda feel bad about writing about it. I would have liked to have taken things further with this woman but as I have said before I never take advantage of anyone. For the most part she seemed ok but there were tell tale signs she had a few too many drinks.

So my question remains...

Do you think I took advantage of this woman?

I think not.

Did I make a bad judgement call. Yes.

Traffic Court Again

I received two separate traffic tickets from the same police officer in less then a week.
One was for a burnt out brake light ($56 provincial) and the other was for crossing the center line ($30 bylaw).

I plan to fight these tickets to the full extent of the law and will have my day in court.

...Post details removed until after trial...

Good to Go

This past weekend I was very nervous driving again. I was timid to say the least. After a few trips I started feeling more comfortable. It can be nerve racking picking up random people off the street. I just never know what kind of mood folks are in, how much they have had to drink, or what kind of drugs they have ingested.

For the most part I had a pretty good weekend. The students were back in town for the second semester and the bars were busy. I had many trips to the University of Lethbridge and surrounding area. I picked up a girl from Pulse and she was upset that she had forgotten her ID. I am pretty sure she was trying not to let me notice her crying but I did.

I picked up another young woman from Pulse and she called her boyfriend on the way home. He was instructed to come over to her house so he could literally get his ass waxed. She was going to heat up the wax when she got home. I thought it was strange but who am I to judge. I do some pretty strange things sometimes.

My last two nights ended with trips out to Coaldale and Coalhurst. I am very glad those guys did not attempt the drive.

I have noticed many people are still driving drunk and getting DUI's, crashing into poles, etc. Not sure that the new legal limit for alcohol tolerance has had much effect on people.

On another note I was approached to shoot a porn scene(s) in the taxi. I was informed of different scenarios that they seemed interested in doing. One included me driving around while they were filming and the girl would basically pick up a random guy off the street to do the scene with. I think that would be pretty interesting to be honest and have not ruled it out. I will not mention it again unless it actually happens.

A Reminder Not to Drink and Drive

I have no idea if this person was drunk or not. One of the worst accidents I have ever seen. I took no pleasure in filming this. Between approximately 1:30-2:30am Sunday morning at 8th Avenue and Stafford Drive North. Although he appeared to be reaching for help before they cut the entire roof off and dismantled most of the vehicle he did not seem to be responsive as EMS loaded him into the ambulance.

Absolutely tragic. This would not be the first deady accident around that tight bend. Road conditions were excellent in my opinion.

Why Not - Part 2

If you are unaware I am currently not driving a taxi. I have felt that something is missing in my life. The excitement that was readily available every time I got behind the wheel is no longer there. I have found other ways to feel that same excitement.

I described in detail the effort we put in preparing for "Why Not" so I will leave out most details because they are mostly the same. I was disappointed I did not have a picture of our last outing. This time I have some decent video footage, so it is pretty self explanatory.

In addition this was a fully consensual activity and she was not harmed in ANY way. Physically or otherwise.

Deadly Accident at 8th Ave and 13th Street North?

At approximately 3:30am (by my estimation) it appeared that a single vehicle accident occurred at 8th Ave and 13th Street North.

It appeared that whomever was driving took out a light pole and crashed into a building on the opposite side of the road. It appeared that the vehicle was traveling southbound. That person seemed to be loaded into the ambulance already deceased.

This video was taken 15 minutes ago at approximately 3:45am.

From the 6th Avenue Standoff

Just a visualization of the scene. At least as close as I was allowed. Full story here.
I did not capture the take down as this lasted over 6 hours and I do have better things to do.





This was the first video I took. I thought the guy was in the red brick building but he was not. Just another angle I guess.



I was pulled over and questioned after the following video so I mise well show it. I did not know the Lethbridge Police Service has such a robot. I assumed it had come from Calgary.

Why Not?

The other night was one of the most interesting experiences I have ever had.

So I came up with this plan to be hogtied, handcuffed, and gagged. The plan was to drop me off at the emergency room and just let the events unfold. I realized soon after that this stunt could actually put someone’s life in jeopardy while they were helping me. So that plan was abandoned… My fantasy was not.

We came up with a new plan. One key to my handcuffs was to be taped to the inside of my shoe; the other key was with her, along with my identification.

I explained earlier to the officer at the police station that I was inquiring into the legalities of what I was about to do and if I could be arrested and charged with anything. I went right into it and said my plan included my arms being tied up with rope while handcuffed. I mentioned that I would be wearing a mask and a gag, also I would be wearing a collar and leash and someone would be leading me around.

After consulting with the police to understand the possible ramifications of our actions I was basically assured that as long as I was sober, wearing shorts, not harassing people, not waving at vehicles (for some reason that is illegal, I doubt that), and not going on private property that I was cool to do what I wanted.

The officer on duty informed me of an indecency law which I was not planning on violating by wearing shorts. He also mentioned that I may be subject to an arrest based on the Mental Health Act of Alberta, which would require a psychiatric evaluation. I believe this evaluation must be performed by a psychologist and they can hold you for 72 hours with a reasonable amount of certainty of a mental problem.

In this case I would have been able to convince the police that I was completely sober and had consented to everything that they had stopped me for. It was a good step to take.

So we took both of our vehicles and found parking quite easily near the Exhibition Park Fairgrounds during Whoop-Up Days, tonight is Midnight Madness and fuck it why not. I parked my vehicle about 150 yards North of the main gate. Her vehicle was parked 150 yards South of the main gate. We wanted to have our bases covered for a quick exit and taxis were also available at the main gate.

I assisted her in tying me up and putting on all the gear. First was the rope around my forearms (the handcuffs came later), then she put the white mask on my face. This was not just any mask; it was spandex and had zippers over each eye and one over the mouth. All three were open because I wanted to see (at least somewhat). Then we put on the collar and attached the leash, or maybe we put the gag on first. Anyway we were fast at work and ready to hit the street.

She got out of the car and opened my door, grabbed the leash, and we went to work. The first comment I heard was “I should smack you in the face” by some random guy. It was quite difficult for me to see and I was never able to look anyone in the eye (not that I wanted to). So I felt like we were off to a negative start. We really did not know what to expect from people in terms of their reactions to us. We knew this was going to be a busy place at that time of night on that particular day and we went ahead with our plan.

As she was leading me around I could only gauge people from their reactions verbally and once physically. I could only see well enough to avoid running into people or things, all the while being completely aware of where I was and what I was doing.

These are in no particular order, just what I remember:

I heard “I know that, that’s public humiliation.” She was pretty much spot on with that comment.

One dude yelled to the effect “give him a spanking, whoohoo” so she pushed me up against the fence of the Henderson Lake Golf Course, grabbed her flogger/whip, and gave me a few lashings right outside the main gate of the fair.


A group of girls asked me from across the street “are you ok man?” and because I had the gag in my mouth I lifted up my roped arms and handcuffed hands to give them the thumbs up.

These two other guys that were wearing costumes got the only picture of us. I had seen them walking around while we were parking. The one guy was wearing a green spandex type superhero uniform, he was accompanied by his blue spandex wearing superhero buddy. They were pretty cool and asked if they could take a picture, I nodded and they took one picture. I wish I had it.

When she saw younger children she pulled me aside to the parking area/bushes/trees/lake, but keep in mind this is Midnight Madness and its Midnight…so why not bring some real madness, and we did.

At one point she tied me to a pole with my leash and told me to sit on the ground. She then left me there briefly while teasing me as people were walking by in amazement of what they were looking at. While this was happening two young women that were walking across the street actually sat down to watch what was going on and eventually asked what we were doing.

There was no response from us because if you have to ask then you just have no clue. Now you have a clue, your first time seeing something like that maybe? Well it was the first time each of us has ever done that, at least at that level and in public.

I must have spent like 10 hours thinking and/or planning this activity to the finest detail. The “Show” if you will lasted around half an hour if I remember correctly. It was well worth the planning, especially had something gone wrong and we needed to rely on plan B or C.

She tried at one point to tie me to a tree but I think it was just a cover because some kids were coming by or she needed a break, I don’t know. Maybe she thought I needed a break but I remember her asking me at some other point “did those kids go by” I had not seen very many young kids and I’m glad we were able to hide a bit while they passed by. She didn’t use the whip a lot which was ok with me, but she definitely gave me a few good ones, while I am sure people were watching.

It was pretty intense, especially when she left me, which I was not expecting and even asked her very specifically not to do under basically any circumstance. I did not want to be left alone. I do trust this woman very much and I knew that she was not going to leave me. I could also see that she was just walking around her vehicle and maybe just watching me from a distance beyond the leash. She walked around the vehicle and came back and unleashed me from the pole.

Still in my handcuffs and rope bindings she made me sit on the ground as a few groups of people walked by. I am not going to lie I think it was a bit shocking to most people. I think the people giggling or even laughing were even less shocked than the people just minding their own business and walking by not having a clue of what they just saw or what to think of it.

What we did right was to mind our own business as we walked down a city sidewalk. As a matter of fact I was harassed by the public more than I harassed the public. It was expected, at least I had thought of it and other worst case scenarios. Being handcuffed is serious shit that I have had slight troubles just on my own getting them off (when put on incorrectly in an awkward position).

People were mostly positive about seeing us, a lot of people just laughed or giggled. One guy smacked me in the chest and said “way to go bro”. Other people were like “yeah dude, I want some of that”, at least that is how it sounded to me. All the cars that were driving by slowly had a good look also. All in all a very cool night and an interesting experience.

Oh and the police never became involved because we did nothing wrong. Once we were in the vehicle I wanted to go for one more pass but she convinced me to leave on a high note. It was a good call because as she was driving past the main gate to drop me off at my vehicle there were two police officers talking to someone at the main gate. For what reason I will never know.

In Progress
