Long time
I haven't used my LJ in ages. But I have been blogging every day for the last month! It's an incredible new habit. Anyways, this is for all those who haven't seen this yet.  I WAS PUBLISHED IN A LEGIT PAPER!! This is from the Surrey Now on December 16! It's exciting for a young journalist. | | Sunday, October 22nd, 2006 | | 2:17 pm |

Beat the Computer
This is a website my brother showed me today. Is that proper English? It doesn't sound right.
www.songtapper.comAll you do is go in there and tap the melody or lyrics or tune of a song, and see whether the computer knows what it is. It's good if you've got a song stuck in your head and have no clue what it is. Give it a try. The song list it has is rather incomplete at the moment, but if your song isn't in there, add it. Let the computers' knowledge grow. Current Mood:  by a computerCurrent Music: tap tap tap tap tap | | Saturday, September 9th, 2006 | | 3:16 pm |
So... Barenaked Ladies are coming to Vancouver. February 3rd. I have tickets... second row on the floor. I couldn't be happier. They're playing GM Place... I've got pretty central tickets... and it's second row on the floor. WOOO!! But then again, can I be happier? Yes... yes I can. Because the following day, they're playing in Prince George. And I have a dead center, front row floor ticket. That venue is about 1/4 the size of GM Place... so I'm even happier about that. Problem: The second concert is in Prince George. Transportation. Hotel. And the fact that I have school. But... that can be resolved in February. Right now... I'm just happy about that.

Life's Been Good to Me So Far
I can't complain, but sometimes I still do,
Life's been good to me so far.
So, I get a really long time to just sit and think while I'm at work, and for the last couple weeks, since something significant happened, I've been doing a lot of thinking about my life, and I've realized that, even though I'm 19 years old (plus one week), I have lived an absolutely great life and I really just want to thank those of you who have played a role in my moulding. Let me elaborate.
A couple weeks ago, in the 24 Hours paper, Devon Swift wrote an article on the 'Five Things You Want to Do Before You Die.' It got me thinking to what it is exactly that I'd like to do, and I still don't know... because many of the things that I've thought of... I've done, and that startles me. I always feel as if I'm lazy and unproductive... but yet, I've lived a fulfilling, enriching and perhaps enviable life.
- I have been on TV (actual television series).
- I have been in a movie.
- I have been on the news.
- I have been on the radio.
- I have recorded music with a band, and released it on CD.
- I have performed on stage, both as actor and musician.
- I have had stuff I've written published.
- I have played, on stage, in front of thousands of people, with my all-time favourite band.
- I have seen (as of this October) all the bands, that I currently feel are worthy of seeing live, live.
- I have travelled.
- I have broken the stereotypes that go along with being a teenager.
- I have loved.
- I have found a group of friends, with whom I always enjoy spending time with, with whom I can trust 100% and with whom I have built solid enough relationships that they seem more like family, than friends.
- I have chosen a career path at a young age; one that I am not doing for money, prominance or acclaim, rather because it will be a career I will always enjoy.
This list is without a doubt incomplete, as well, there are many more things that I hope to, and eventually will accomplish before I become too old to do many of them.
So... thank you to those who have contributed, in any way shape or form to anything on that list, or anything that has affected my life. I'm rather content with my life at the moment, so thank you.

The 23 hardest questions you'll ever answer!!!
I do forewarn you, this is very lengthy, but totally worth the read. You will second guess any initial thought that comes to mind; it's a great way to discover who you really are!
- Let us assume you met a rudimentary magician. Let us assume he can do five simple tricks – he can pull a rabbit out of his hat, he can make a coin disappear, he can turn the ace of spades into the Joker card, and two others in a similar vein. There are his only tricks and he can’t learn any more; he can only do these five. HOWEVER, it turns out he’s doing these five tricks with real magic. It’s not an illusion; he can actually conjure the bunny out of the other and he can move the coin through space. He’s legitimately magical, but extremely limited in scope and influence. Would this person be more impressive than Albert Einstein?
- Let us assume a fully grown, completely healthy Clydesdale horse has his hooves shackled to the ground while he head is held in place with thick rope. He is conscious and standing upright, but he is completely immobile. And let us assume that – for some reason – every political prisoner on earth (as cited by Amnesty International) will be released from captivity if you can kick this horse to death in less than twenty minutes. You are allowed to wear steel-toed boots. Would you attempt to do this?
- Let us assume there are two boxes on a table. In one box, there is a relatively normal turtle; in the other, Adolf Hitler’s skull. You have to select one of these items for your home. If you select the turtle, you can’t give it away and you have to keep it alive for two years; if either of these parameters are not met, you will be fined $999 by the state. If you select Hitler’s skull, you are required to display it in a semi-prominent location in your living room for the same amount of time, although you will be paid a stipend of $120 per month for doing so. Display of the skull must be apolitical. Which option do you select?
- Genetic engineers at Johns Hopkins University have developed a so-called “super gorilla.” Though the animal cannot speak, it has a sign language lexicon of over twelve thousand words, and an IQ of almost 85, and – most notably – a vague sense of self-awareness. Oddly, the creature (who weighs seven hundred pounds) becomes fascinated by football. The gorilla aspires to play the game at its highest level and quickly develops the rudimentary skills of a defensive end. ESPN analyst Tom Jackson speculates that this gorilla would be “borderline unblockable” and would likely average six sacks a game (although Jackson concedes the beast might be susceptible to counters and misdirection plays). Meanwhile, the gorilla has made is clear he would never intentionally injure any opponent. You are commissioner of the NFL: Would you allow this gorilla to sign with the Oakland Raiders?
- You meet your soul mate. However, there is a catch: Every three years, someone will break both of your soul mate’s collarbones with a Crescent wrench, and there is only one way you can stop this from happening: You must swallow a pill that will make every song you hear – for the rest of your life – sound as if it’s being performed by the band Alice in Chains. When you hear Creedence Clearwater Revival on the radio, it will sound (to your ears) like it’s being played by Alice in Chains. If you see Radiohead live, every one of the tunes will sound like it’s being covered by Alice in Chains. When you hear a commercial jingle on TV, it will sound like Alice in Chains; if you sing to yourself in the shower, your voice will sound like deceased Alice vocalist Layne Staley performing a capella (but it will only sound this way to you). Would you swallow the pill?
- At long last, somebody invents “the dream VCR.” This machine allows you to tape an entire evening’s worth of your own dreams, which you can then watch at your leisure. However, the inventor of the dream VCR will only allow you to use this device if you agree to a strange caveat: When you watch your dreams, you must do so with your family and your closest friends in the same room. They get to watch your dreams along with you. And if you don’t agree to this, you can’t use the dream VCR. Would you still do this?
- Defying all expectation, a group of Scottish marine biologists capture a live Loch Ness Monster. In an almost unbelievable coincidence, a bear hunter shoots a Sasquatch in the thigh, thereby allowing zoologists to take the furry monster into captivity. These events happen on the same afternoon. That evening, the president announces he may have thyroid cancer and will undergo a biopsy later that week. You are the front-page editor of The New York Times: What do you play as the biggest story?
- You meet the perfect person. Romantically, this person is ideal; You find them physically attractive, intellectually stimulating, consistently funny, and deeply compassionate. However, they are one quirk: This individual is obsessed with Jim Henson’s gothic puppet fantasy The Dark Crystal. Beyond watching it on DVD at least once a month, he/she peppers casual conversation with Dark Crystal references, uses Dark Crystal analogies to explain everyday events, and occasionally likes to talk intensely about the film’s “deeper philosophy.” Would this be enough to stop you from marrying this individual?
- A novel titled Interior Mirror is released to mammoth commercial success (despite middling reviews). However, a curious social trend emerges: Though no one can prove a direct scientific link, it appears that almost 30 percent of the people who read this book immediately become homosexual. Many of the newfound homosexuals credit the book for helping them reach this conclusion about their orientation, despite the fact that Interior Mirror is ostensibly a crime novel with no homoerotic content (and was written by a straight man). Would this phenomenon increase (or decrease) the likelihood of you reading this book?
- This is the opening line of Jay McInerney’s Bright Lights, Big City: “You are not the kind of guy who would be in a place like this at this time of the morning.” Think about that line in the context of the novel (assuming you’re read it). Now go to your CD collection and find Heart’s Little Queen album (assuming you own it). Listen to the opening riff to “Barracuda”. Which of these two introductions is a higher form of art?
- You are watching a movie in a crowded theater. Though the plot is mediocre, you find yourself dazzled by the special effects. But with twenty minutes left in the film, you are struck with an undeniable feeling of doom: You are suddenly certain your mother has just died. There is no logical reason for this to be true, but you are certain of it. You are overtaken with the irrational metaphysical sense that – somewhere – your mom has just perished. But this is only an intuitive, amorphous feeling; there is no evidence for this, and your mother has not been ill. Would you immediately exit the theater, or would you finish watching the movie?
- You meet a wizard in downtown Chicago. The wizard tells you he can make you more attractive if you pay him money. When you ask how this process works, the wizard points to a random person on the street. You look at this random person. The wizard says. “I will now make them a dollar more attractive.” He waves his magic wand. Ostensibly, this person does not change at all; as far as you can tell, nothing is different. But – somehow- this person is suddenly a little more appealing. The tangible difference is invisible to the naked eye, but you can’t deny that this person is vaguely sexier. This wizard has a weird rule though – you can only pay him once. You can’t keep paying giving him money until you’re satisfied. You can only pay him one lump sum up front. How much cash do you give the wizard?
- Every person you have ever slept with is invited to a banquet where you are the guest of honor. No one will be in attendance except for you, the collection of former lovers, and the catering service. After the meal, you are asked to give a fifteen-minute speech to the assembly. What do you talk about?
- For reasons that cannot be explained, cats can suddenly read at a twelfth-grade level. They can’t talk and they can’t write, but they can read silently and comprehend the text. Many cats love this new skill, because they now have something to do all day while they lay around the house; however, a few cats become depressed, because reading forces them to realize the limitations of their existence (not to mention utter frustration of being unable to express themselves). This being the case, do you this the average cat would enjoy Garfield, or would cats find the cartoon to be an insulting caricature?
- You have a brain tumor. Though there is no discomfort at the moment, this tumor would unquestionably kill you in six months. However, your life can (and will) be saved by an operation; the only downside is there will be a brutal incision to your frontal lobe. After the surgery, you will be significantly less intelligent. You will be a fully functioning adult, but you will be less logical, you will have a terrible memory, and you will have little ability to understand complex concepts of difficult ideas. The surgery is in two weeks. How do you spend the next fourteen days?
- Someone builds an optical portal that allows you to see a vision of your own life in the future (it is essentially a crystal ball that shows you a randomly selected image of what your life will be like in twenty years). You can only see into this portal for thirty seconds. When you peer into the crystal, you see yourself in a living room, two decades older than you are today. You are watching Canadian football game, and you are extremely happy. You are wearing a CFL jersey. You chair is surrounded by CFL books and magazines that promote the Canadian Football League, and there are CFL pennants covering your walls. You are alone in the room, but you are gleefully muttering about historical moments in Canadian football history. It becomes clear that – for some unknown reason – you have become obsessed with Canadian football. And this future is static and absolute, no matter what you do, this future will happen. The optical portal is never wrong. This destiny cannot be changed. The next day, you are flipping through television channels and randomly come across a pre-season CFL game between the Toronto Argonauts and the Saskatchewan Roughriders. Knowing your inevitable future, do you now watch it?
- You are sitting in an empty bar (in a town you’ve never before visited), drinking Bacardi with a soft-spoken acquaintance you barely know. After an hour, a third individual walks into the tavern and sits by himself, and you ask your acquaintance who the new man is. “Be careful of that guy,” you are told. “He is a man with a past.” A few minutes later, a fourth person enters the bar; he also sits alone. You ask your acquaintance who this new individual is. “Be careful of that guy too,” he says. “He is a man with no past.” Which of these two people do you trust less?
- You have won a prize. The prize has two options, and you can choose either (but not both). The first option is a year in Europe with a monthly stipend of $2,000. The second option is ten minutes on the moon. Which option do you select?
- Your best friend is taking a nap on the floor of your living room. Suddenly, you are faced with a bizarre existential problem: This friend is going to die unless you kick them (as hard as you can) in the rib cage. If you don’t kick them while they slumber, they will never wake up. However, you can never explain this to your friend; if you later inform them that you did this to save their life, they will also die from that. So you have to kick a sleeping friend in the ribs, and you can’t tell them why. Since you cannot tell your friend the truth, what excuse will you fabricate to explain this (seemingly inexplicable) attack?
- For whatever the reason, two unauthorized movies are made about your life. The first is an independently released documentary, primarily comprised of interviews with people who know you and bootleg footage from your actual life. Critics are describing the documentary as “brutally honest and relentlessly fair.” Meanwhile, Columbia Tri-Star has produced a big-budget biopic about your life, casting major Hollywood stars as you and all your acquaintances; though the movie is based on actual events, screenwriters have taken some liberties with the facts. Critics are split on the artistic merits of this fictionalized account, but audiences love it. Which film would you be most interested in seeing?
- Imagine you could go back to the age of five and relive the rest of your life, knowing everything you know now. You will reexperience your entire adolescence with both the cognitive ability of an adult and the memories of everything you’ve learned from having lived your life previously. Would you lose your virginity earlier or later than you did the first time around (and by how many years)?
- You work in an office. Generally, you are popular with your coworkers. However, you discover that there are currently two rumors circulating in the office gossip mill, and both involve you. The first rumor is that you got drunk at the office holiday party and had sex with one of your married coworkers. This rumor is completely true, but most people don’t believe it. The second rumor is that you have been stealing hundreds of dollars of office supplies (and then selling them to cover a gambling debt). This rumor is completely false, but virtually everyone assumes it’s factual. Which of these two rumors is most troubling to you?
- Consider this possibility:
a) Think about the deceased TV star John Ritter.
b) Now, pretend Ritter has never become famous. Pretend he was never affected by the trappings of fame, and try to imagine what his personality would have been like.
c) Now, imagine that this person – the unfamous John Ritter – is a character in a situation comedy.
d) Now, you are also a character in this sitcom, and the unfamous John Ritter character is your sitcom father.
e) However, this sitcom is actually your real life. In other words, you are living inside a sitcom: Everything about your life is a construction, featuring the unfamous John Ritter playing himself (in the role of the TV father). But this is not a sitcom. This is your real life. How would you feel about this?

Holy crap... yet ANOTHER entry
So... I have better news about my Who ticket. I ended up purchasing the ticket via the Rock 101 presale... and got my Section 116... Row 8 seat. But I wanted a floor seat. The tickets officially went on sale this morning. I got my floor seat!!! So now I have two tickets... but check it out. GM Place... Row 9 Floor... dead centre. Does it get much better than that? No, unless you're going to get bumped a few rows, but Row 9 is AWESOME! That is all. God I'm loving holidays. Current Mood: ecstaticCurrent Music: The Who | | Friday, July 14th, 2006 | | 5:19 pm |
This is amazing.
Three posts in one month... and it's only halfway over. SO... today was my last day before my week off... YAY! It was really hectic at work, but that's okay... cuz I got a Who ticket. I didn't have to spend the $220... because there were none left (which boggles my mind, cuz this was first day of the presale... right when they went on sale). But... i got 8th row, halfway down GM Place... i sat basically in the same spot for the Tsunami Relief Concert. So anyways... it was a great day!!! | | Thursday, July 13th, 2006 | | 10:10 pm |
Nobody else gives a shit... but I do. THE WHO are coming to Vancouver. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. Since I became a fan, I promised myself that this would be my splurge concert, and seeing as Roger Daltry and Pete Townsend are growing old fast... this will most likely be my only chance ever to see these guys. Tickets range from $55... to $202. I feel I must splurge the 202. I cannot justify my reasoning... other than the fact that if I'm going to spent $150 on shitty seats... why not spend another $50 and be able to see the guys? So... i'll re-update this tomorrow after I hear about my ticket success. I'm at work when it goes on sale... so i'm keeping my fingers crossed that my dad will pull through and get me something good. God its times like these you really wish Ticketmaster was good with customer service. | | Monday, July 3rd, 2006 | | 2:22 pm |
Long time no see.
So... it's been a while since I've updated this. Or written anything period. I need some sort of motivation, and I'm not too sure where I'm supposed to find it. It's July 3rd right now, and it's a holiday for me, so I'm not working. I'm not thinking about school. Today is a day for moi... and I want to get my ass going on doing some writing that I've wanted to do for a while now, but I don't have the motivation. This is something I've wanted to do for a long time... at least a couple years, but seriously got into it only a month ago, but I don't know where to begin. I just need some... words of wisdom, support... but I feel that I'm a stage in my life where I'm filled with creativity, but have no where to put it, so this would be a superb opportunity to do something amazing. Current Music: Easy Does It- Barenaked Ladies | | Saturday, May 6th, 2006 | | 1:10 pm |
Wow
It's been a while since I've updated here. Well... school's done now, it's been done for nearly a month for me (which is just GREAT!). And... to top it all off, I got a job yesterday. It's nothing great... it's a woodworking place, building furniture. But the pay is nice, almost double minimum wage... and it's really close by, so I can't complain! Other than that... life is life. | | Sunday, January 15th, 2006 | | 7:24 pm |
24!
For anybody who is a 24 fan... and hasn't seen the season premiere yet... do NOT read on! ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ ........ HOLY FUCK! Palmer's dead. Michelle's dead. Tony is in critical condition. And Jack has been framed! The first episode was probably the best ever. It was amazing. The second was a little meh, but great nevertheless. Chloe smiled for the first time in her life. Sean Callery (the guy that does the music) is doing phenomenally right away. The music this season is great. Very different than the other four, and much catchier. It has a beat now... and very, Mission Impossible-esque, yet still very 24. Two more hours tomorrow!!! YAY! This is phenomenal. I'm on a 24 high right now.. my heart is racing. Current Mood:  24!!! | | 4:14 pm |
This is me. This is my tattoo. Enjoy :)  | | 12:53 am |
I'm TRYING to keep with the promise
So... i didn't write one Friday... I didn't write one Saturday. But it's just after midnight on Sunday morning... so this will count as the Saturday post. My Friday was good. Had one class... photography. We went through Canadian politics... go figure. We learnt the same stuff in Political Writing three days prior. Ah well. Then i had all last night off. I don't recall what I did. Just sat around I believe. Today... I woke up. I cleaned. Kristina came over. She saw my tattoo for the first time. Oh... for those of you who don't know... I got a tattoo. Ask me about it! :) And we watched The Godfather. Meh. I don't know what all the fuss is about. It's decent... but definately not the best movie I've seen. Then we argued about what else we'd watch... and we ended up watching some really old Muppets thing. It was great. This evening... didn't do much. Sat around. Watched TV. Michelle suggested I watch 'March of the Penguins.' She bought it for me for Christmas... i just hadn't had time to watch it. So I just did. It just ended. It was AMAZING. I love penguins... I have since WELL before this movie was made... but this just securs my love for them. If anybody has connections with the South Polians... please let me know... have them smuggle a penguin to me... i'll pay REALLY good money! So that was my day. I got a bit of homework done... not a lot... but most of my political writing, and a bit more stock market crap. I've got maybe an hour or so to do tomorrow. And then... 24!!! If you don't know what 24 is... you're either blind, deaf or been living under a rock. They've really been hyping the season premiere this year... a little too much actually... I mean... every newspaper, tv station, magazine, billboard (well maybe not)... but they're really pushing for viewers. It's a great show. It really is. I'm obsessed. I recommend you watch it... tomorrow night... 8 pm. FOX. And Monday night... 8 pm.. FOX. I will write one more post today... after I sleep... to make up for the lost post from yesterday. Confused. Don't worry. I'll just write... and you'll just read... and then you'll comment. Simple? Thought so. Ciao! Good night. Current Mood:  Very... sleepy. | | Thursday, January 12th, 2006 | | 7:08 pm |
Wow
So... I feel really productive. I did everything on my to-do list... I'm rather proud of myself. I've never been the kind to be all that productive, rather, I'ld wait until the last minute, but not today. I got in touch with the Conservative Party in my riding, they will get back to me, but I'm keeping a tab on them if they don't. Haha... poor Conservatives. They basically gave up one seat this morning when they denounced one of their own. Some guy from the interior has been removed from their campaign because he has a smuggling history. What an idiot. Don't they do background checks on their candidates? I mean... they could have a terrorist for all they know. Ah well... supposedly that riding will now be guaranteed to the NDPs... so YAY! What did I do today. I got up late. 11. Watched some TV. Relaxed. Went out. Took care of some financial transactions that needed to get done. Got my hair cut... short. Went up to Guildford. Returned a Christmas present. Picked up my last HMV cheque. I like getting money. Bought the new Ferris Bueller DVD. Bought a new belt. Came home. Watched Bueller. Watched My Name is Earl. Watched The Office. For those of you who've never watched the latter two... I definately recommend it. Earl is pretty funny, but the Office is probably the funniest show on TV. It's REALLY good. The british version was great, but Steve Carell has carved his own retarded niche on this show, so it's great! Maybe i'll write some more tonight, but this is good for now. | | Wednesday, January 11th, 2006 | | 10:33 pm |
Man I hate unmotivated promises...
Like this one. I vow to write here everyday... just get my thoughts out. I learned how to drive stick today. It was very easy.. thanks to Kerry. He's a good teacher... i probably pissed him off though, I asked a lot of questions. Maybe he's not a good teacher then... and i'm just an inquisitive student. Anywhooo... thanks for letting me use your car. It's not all that difficult. Next Thursday... we shall work on it again. Maybe i'll move up to third gear. Damn car filled parking lot!!! The elections coming up. Vote NDP. I won a chocolate bar from Jen (ladybella)... she owes me it still... and five points. What else is new? Oh... i realized that i REALLY like the people in my journalism program. Shall I divulge? Other than those that I've been hanging out with for the past four months (whom all kick ass by the way)... while we were planning on doing the Chronicle... and we were told we were too ambitious because we just will end up wanting the paper to go out by deadline... and who gives a shit about anything else. I don't think that was a sentene, but it was long, so i put a period. Anyways... i really don't think that's going to happen to us. I believe that somebody in our group will be able to take charge, like an editors position (Jon) and be able to maintain some level of sanity among us. If we don't make the paper too long, we will be able to actually focus it down to what exactly the reader wants. It's a science really. I hate sciene... but this is interesting... because it's not physics or chem. Bio was fun. I don't know many people who liked Bio 12... I did. But ya... i realized that we have the potential in our class because we're all motivated... so, I HOPE we wont have problems like that. We will make a name for the Chronicle. Kwantlen students will finally, for once in their lives, be urged to actually pick one up!! God I hope so! That looks like a lot of writing, but it probably isn't. Ah well. I've kept up with my promise. My to-do list for tomorrow: Sleep in Get haircut Return shit Buy Bueller (if i can get it discounted) Call Conservatives about Election C'est tout. Au Revoir tout le monde. - Slavin out. Current Mood:  I'm cold. It's drizzling out. | | Tuesday, January 10th, 2006 | | 4:05 pm |
In class
So... keeping up with my promise.. I am updating. I'm in class right now.. my teacher is late for our first class with her. How irresponsible. I've already had two classes today (been here since 9:30... and i still have another two hours). So it makes for a very long day. Tomorrow will be an hour and a half longer... 8:00-6:00. I can't wait. I had photojournalism this morning... it was good. We're going to have a very good semester with her... awesome assignments. Then I had political writing... it'll be interesting. Oh... teacher's here... I'll update again later tonight! | | Monday, January 9th, 2006 | | 5:54 pm |
Back to School
School started again today... I wasn't looking forward to it, but it was a good day. Do you want to know why? I bought Taco Del Mar. Kerry took us between classes. But the classes were good. I'm looking forward to Newspaper Production... as far as Feature Writing goes... meh, I'm still unsure... but it looks interesting. I don't know whether or not I'm a feature or news writer at this moment... but I'll have much more creative freedom when I write features. Mark has asked that each and every one of us in the class write at least once a day... so excluding messanging, emails, etc., I am going to TRY to write in my blog daily. Just a daily rant about anything and everything. So i cleaned my room yesterday and moved my desk and dresser around. Now I'm able to use my desk as a desk. So I went and I bought myself a computer chair from Office Depot today. Yes, they do have better service than both Staples and Future Shop... but for such a large store... they only had 4 people working (and two of those in the Copy Centre). How does that work?! Ah well. I like my chair. I built it... and it's comfy. And now I'm watching the Debate. HA! What a fucking joke this is... really. Martin and Harper are bitching at one another... Layton is doing alright, but he's pointing fingers. Martin is an idiot. Harper is an idiot (but he's getting some ideas out). Layton is better than all of them. And is Gilles Duceppe actually speaking English? Does he know this is the english debate? Ooo... 6 o'clock... i have to complete a survey regarding the debate for Ipsos-Reid. I can win $5000 for this... so no complaints! HA! I'm back from my survery. And guess what time it is? 6:00 and 12 seconds. It had one question... who do you think is winning the debate. I supported the NDP. I like the NDP... and Layton is winning the debate. Martin is doing alright, as he does have a lot to rebut. Is that a word? The verb of 'rebuttal'? What is it? So that's my first entry of the day! Bye. |
