Muskoka – Welcome To The Magical Friendship Squad! http://michaelmurray.ca Michael Murray Writes Things Thu, 10 Jul 2014 14:34:47 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.5.3 Rob Ford’s Rehab Journal http://michaelmurray.ca/rob-fords-rehab-journal http://michaelmurray.ca/rob-fords-rehab-journal#respond Wed, 21 May 2014 20:23:59 +0000 http://michaelmurray.ca/?p=4402 Toronto Mayor Rob Ford is reported to be in rehab at a facility (rumoured to be GreeneStone) up in Muskoka cottage country. Ford has been sighted in Bracebridge and Gravenhurst, near his cottage, even posing for several photographs with locals and commenting that, “Rehab was amazing!” While dropping off his dry cleaning at Fabricare in Gravenhurst, Ford left a workbook on the counter that was labeled, “Rob’s Journey: On The Road To Recovery,” which turned out to be his rehab journal.

Day 1

“Describe how you’re feeling right now.”

I feel good, like I’m ready to dominate. I’m in the zone, just like I was when I attended the Washington Redskins fantasy football camp as a kid. It makes me mad that people think that the name Redskins is somehow racist! It’s an honour to be a Redskin, not an insult! redskinsJesus Christ!! It really burns me, that. Makes me want to punch something in the face really hard. Going to go do some lifting, channel my feelings into a “positive stream” instead of getting sucked into a “self-destructive negativity spiral.

Day 2, 2014

“Describe a recent situation where you felt the urge to take drugs or alcohol.”

“The Situation.”

At breakfast when my eggs were runny.

“Moods”

“1. What did you feel?”

“2. Rate each mood (0-100%)”

I felt really pissed off. I’m paying a shit-ton of good money to be in this facility and I’m not even an addict, so the least you could do is get the fucking eggs right! Is it that hard to scramble some eggs? Fuck! (100%)

I also felt frustrated, like one hundred fucking percent frustrated. Just make the goddamn eggs, okay? (120%!!)

“Automatic Thoughts”

“What was going through your mind just before you started to feel this way? Any other thoughts? Images?”

I was thinking that I was fucking hungry and looking forward to some eggs. In my mind, I saw fluffy eggs, cheesy, fluffy eggs and they were being served by a hot chick who was totally impressed that I was mayor of Toronto. We were going get messed-up and then have sex, maybe with one of her friends, too, and I was going to wear my Redskins football helmet. It was going to be totally awesome, and then I saw my cock-blocking brother Doug laughing at me in front of the chicks, and I couldn’t get it going, you know, and I then I got served some runny fucking eggs!

Day 3

“What are you looking forward to right now?”

I’m looking forward to my first rehab setback. That’s going to be fucking epic.

Day 4

“What is the most positive experience you’ve had through rehab so far?”

I’ve really gotten to look deeply into who Rob Ford is and I think I’ve achieved an inner peace, a tranquility, even, that I’ve never known except on the football field. I’ve learned that some days the eggs are runny, and that’s okay, you just have to deal with it. Also, I had sex with that lush real estate agent from Brampton.

Twice.

That was pretty awesome.

Need to get my suit dry cleaned though.

Being Trapped in an Outhouse http://michaelmurray.ca/being-trapped-in-an-outhouse http://michaelmurray.ca/being-trapped-in-an-outhouse#comments Fri, 05 Oct 2012 05:59:50 +0000 http://michaelmurray.ca/?p=2726 My wife Rachelle and I were at a friend’s cottage a few weeks ago. At one point during lunch I had to excuse myself from the group and head off to an outhouse that was about 25 yards from the main cabin.

What follows are the text messages that I sent to Rachelle.

*******************************************

Me: Is Angus still gaying it up in there?

Me: Can’t believe he was married.

Me: Really, who did he think he was fooling?

Me: I could tell from the first time we went bowling that he was gay. Way too much follow through.

Me: Rachelle?

Me: Rachelle?

Me: Remember what our therapist said about you ignoring me?

Me: I feel invalidated.

Me: That’s why I drink so much. You invalidate me.

Me: Rachelle?

Me: Door to outhouse seems to be locked.

Me: Door is locked.

Me: I AM TRAPPED IN THE OUTHOUSE!!!

Me: HELP!!

Me: I THINK THERE IS AN EVIL GHOST ON THE ISLAND!!

Me: IT LOCKS PEOPLE IN OUTHOUSES AND WATCHES AS THEY GO INSANE AND DIE OF HEART ATTACKS!!

ME: IT’S PROBABY AN INDIAN GHOST MAD ABOUT US STEALING LAND!!

Me: I HATE EVIL GHOSTS!!!

Me: Must calm down and breathe deeply.

Me: Sweet Jesus!

Me: Breathing deeply was a very bad idea.

Me: Now very dizzy. Could vomit.

Me: Must be 1000 degrees in this coffin.

Me: Fuck global warming.

Me: I’m going to bang on the door and yell.

Me: Listen for me!

Me: Dizzy again, now with splinters.

Me: Pretty sure I’m going to die here.

Me: In my poo coffin.

Me: Amazing how strong outhouse is and how weak I am.

Me: Feel like a girl.

Me: Going to die feeling like a girl.

Me: Going to die never having seen a UFO or discovered my spirit guide.

Me: Never got to go to Japan.

Me: So sorry I never got to take you to kinky Japan.

Me: I love you Rachelle.

Me: I loved you with everything I had.

Me: Never really cheated on you.

Me: I want you to go on and live a beautiful life without me– like that speech in Titanic.

Me: I’m Jack and you’re Rose.

Me: Watch that and think of me swimming around in the water.

Me: But DO NOT hook-up with Armand.

Me: Yeah, don’t think I don’t notice the way you light up around him.

Me: Armand. Stupid name.

Me: Like a perfume.

Me: How could you like him???

Me: Would haunt the hell out of you if you hooked-up with him.

Me: HE IS A DICK.

Me: Getting darker in here.

Me: Oxygen must be getting low.

Me: Don’t know how much longer can last.

Me: Would like Sigur Ros played at my funeral and that scene from Armageddon when Bruce Willis is saying good-bye from space projected as backdrop.

Me: My love, you were always the best part of me.

Me: I will be with you always.

Me: You were my everything.

Me: Waiting now for the chariot to swing low.

Me: When the light comes for me I will go to it.

Me: I am ready.

Me: NO!!!

Me: I will fight for you!

Me: I’m not going to give up!!

Me: Splinters be damned!!

Me: Oh.

Me: Just spotted little clasp under handle.

Me: WOW!!

Me: The clasp releases the external lock!!

Me: The world is an explosion of sunlight!

Me: Electrolytes dangerously low, but will stagger to cottage.

Me: Realize how precious life is now.

Me: Hate abortion!

Me: Just stubbed toe on rock!

Me: Hate abortion, rocks and global warming!

Me: I’m coming for you, my love, I’m coming.

Me: If you get this, please save croissant for me, feeling peaked.
