okay, so it seems I went on an embittered tirade before you set me straight, there Par, thanks. And sorry to y'all for subjecting you to this, I guess I just need a break... and maybe some drinkin'. Come wednesday, I'll finally be able to too. woo hoo

WTF? :p

well, uh, thanks Par, you goof

the site on Geneva was, um, really informative
the terrorism training will have to wait until after exams
and...planned parenthood? thanks so much

but as for the 'money growing on trees'... you can't eat them, they're poisonous
sure you can get gold out of them... but the arsenic
and the destruction of the soil that also occurs...
you can't grow anything else there afterwards, and it's all poisoned

and for the one other site I feel like commenting on:
the americans have some really bizarre ideas of preventative measures
all those kids who've been suspended for carrying aspirin, advil, tylenol and insulin are going to grow up embittered and ill-educated because of their poor treatment by the education institutions

Alison, it seems you may need access to this helpful document (thank you, CIA.)

And, maybe this one.

But most assuredly, this one. (That last one is, by far, the most important.)

Money does So grow on trees

Rejected Transformer

Jesus Downsized

Zero Tolerance = Zero Thinking

Malkovich to play Humma Kavula in the upcoming Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy flick (Don't worry if you don't know who this character is, Adams created him specifically for the movie.)

and no, I am definitely not pregnant (as per the initial and ongoing assumption of my "secret"), if I was, I'd be even more despondent. Aside from the not ready for that sort of responsibility (I'm having problems with the idea of a 12 month job... not to mention a minimum 20 year parenting career), I can't imagine willfully subjecting anyone to all the mess and horrors in the world today.

okay... here's an idea:
why don't we kidnap all the world leaders, industry executives, etc. who've got us into this mess, whether pollution, destruction, war, terrorism, poverty, or any other "social ill" that's slowly destroying us, and teach them a lesson. Or maybe just replace them, and forever keep them hostage until things return to more acceptable status. Sure, war cannot be entirely removed, nor tolerance entirely enstated, but we could find some happy medium, some means of appeasement or compromise. And sure, we may not be able to remove our dependence on oil immediately, but at least we could make small steps towards that change, anything would be better than this shit we're in now.

oh, and a quick fact from the article I posted:
Canada uses more energy than the entire continent of Africa every day.
sure you can argue, we're colder, we make more money... but all of Africa? there are millions upon millions of people there, where do we get off thinking we can do this and get away with it?

arghh!

so, anyone else here ever have a day where all they want to do is scream?
yup? thought so.

not that I'm going to get into the gory details of everything,
but it really seems to me that when it rains, it pours
So, i have two more exams... nothing to get upset about, I know
but I also have to finish changing over the exec
the club may not have the money it needs in the bank to pay the bills
someone (me) has to talk to the banquet hall owner who stiffed us on grad
and my new job starts when?
I'm not ready for this. I don't have the first clue what I have to do
nor how to do it. Why did they hire me?
plus there are all these other pressures on me right now
I feel like bursting.

and to top it off, I went to the book sale yesterday. good deals. I bought probably 20 items for $8 and I carried them around in a box thru the sale and on the way home, for probably a total of 2 hours. Hence, my arms hurt, and my dad started to go on this tirade about me needing exercise. two hours. I'll bet his arms would hurt if he held a box full of books for 2 hours. Yes, I need exercise, but so what? I don't have time right now, I didn't during school either, and i do walk a fair distance anyway. Just because he started going to the gym... at least I don't secretly smoke.

fuck. apparently I can't do anything right. I skipped out (with parental permission) on the anniversary dinner and I studied, and slept (which apparently I really needed). What's more important? a party at which mostly adults and little kids with no babysitters go, or the end of my BSc?

so yeah, enough about me...

then there's all the other shit going on in the world...
i love how this board bounces from the inane to the highly politicized to everything in between.
There are some scary stories out there right now... actually, all the time. It goes from scary hostage situations... hooray on Fadi Fadel's release... to letters in the paper to show how little people actually value children (huh? what about the future? - not so much scary as disturbing). And this one especially should interest us as Canadians: Does the Great White North deserve its green reputation? which literally shows what a shitty job Canada is doing. Again, what about the future? or do people even care? fuck!

and now back to studying

Like it or not, Hamas is the only hope now for Palestine. Anyone who thinks a Kerry victory over Bush (highly unlikely if recent polls are any indication) is going to change anything, they're dead wrong. One thing Bush has going for him is honesty. The fucking Democrats have long been fierce supporters of Israel (although they won't tell you this). Any way you look at it, the Palestinians are fucked. And the murder of Zionist pricks, however tragic, at least evens the score, which is the best that can possibly be hoped for, at least as long as the United States is a superpower.

Best Idea ever. Tomorrow, sunday, I'm going to Jasper to go skiing. the three following days I have finals. I'll repeat myself. Best Idea ever. EVER!!!! g'night

arrested development... roflmao

Jeremy's back? hmm... didn't really realize he was gone...

Naw j/k - Welcome home Jere, I'll be sure to avoid your presence until Thursday at around lunch, at which time you may meet me in CAB walk to the plant or RATT and get completely shit-faced before I have to go to work.

Later!

my eyes are crusty and pink...
