Caucasian Achievement Awards
I am all about eqaulity and respect for diversity and all cultures and everything..but why does everyone feel the need to places themselves apart??? Take the "Aboriginal Achievement Awards" for example. What is it that an Aboriginal can achieve that I cannot? (and vice versa.)
If I even mentioned the thought of creating a Caucasian Achievement awards I would certainly get my behind kicked along with who knows what other forms of beating?!??
In a society that is so focused on eqaulity why do we have shows like "Black Entertainment Television"? I mean do you really have to flaunt the fact that black men and women tend to superceed the rest of us at most sports and entertainment, so much in fact that an whole television program needs to be devoted to it?
Why are there entire DAYS AND PARADES dedicated to being a homosexual?? I think its great and all for you to show your love for eachother it is a beautiful and precious thing, but is a overly publicized parade, day, or even weekend necessary to do so??
Where is the White Entertainment Television and the Straight Pride Parade that I so deserve?
I AM A STRAIGHT, WHITE CANADIAN FEMALE AND DAMN PROUD OF IT!!!
p.s. do not be offended by this post, it has no bearing on what I truley believe. I am just unfourtunately inhabited by a very cynical sense of humor that I cannot control. (If you haven't noticed.....)
For the die hard Chuck Norris fan....

p.s. thanks to james the great for providing me with this lovely resource. cheers
is this how its really meant to be?
But every now and then you come to mind
Cause you were always waiting to be picked to play the game
But when your name was called, you found a place to hide
When you knew that I was always on your side
Well everything was easy then, so sweet and innocent
But your demons and your angels reappeared
Leavin' all the traces of the man you thought you'd be
Leavin' me with no place left to go from here
Leavin' me so many questions all these years
But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are you left to wonder, all alone, eternally
This isn't how it's really meant to be
No it isn't how it's really meant to be
Well they say that love is in the air, but never is it clear,
How to pull it close and make it stay
Butterflies are free to fly, and so they fly away
And I'm left to carry on and wonder why
Even through it all, I'm always on your side
But is there someplace far away, someplace where all is clear
Easy to start over with the ones you hold so dear
Or are we left to wonder, all alone, eternally
But is this how it's really meant to be
No is it how it's really meant to be
Well if they say that love is in the air, never is it clear
How to pull it close and make it stay
If butterflies are free to fly, why do they fly away
Leavin' me to carry on and wonder why
Was it you that kept me wondering through this life
When you know that I was always on your side
this could be the most exciting month of the year!

Coal Now Too Expensive To Put In Christmas Stockings
CHICAGO—With winter's onset driving the demand for surface coal to record-high levels, the mineral's cost is now beyond the reach of low- and middle-income Americans who wish to punish their naughty children. "Coal in one's stocking is meant to serve as an admonishment or warning, not as a dependable grade-B investment," said William Menchell, a commodities adviser for T. Rowe Price. "In today's market, children should only have their stockings stuffed with lumps of coal if they have been studious and obedient, and show an interest in long-term investments in the energy sector." For more affordable punitive options, analysts point to the relatively stagnant switch market, which could soon go the way of coal if demand increases for combustible wooden sticks.

happy freakin new years.
On another note..my new years resolution is going to be once again as it always has been and will continue to be.."1280 X 1024". Unlike some people, my resolution is consistent. It is something I manage to achieve, maintain and stick with EVERYDAY. It does not "yo-yo" and it is not something i shove to the back of my closet/life until the next new year comes around (applause.) It is a goal set by myself and conquered by myself, and I am positive that this is not something the rest of you can say about YOUR new years resolutions :)
Well..thats that for now. Minn is coming to visit me on the 26th and we are going to have a blast. Tofino and some of the Gulf islands are on our plates for sure as well as some good hikes at each location. Does anyone have any suggestions on where to go? Anyone know of anything important going on at all possibly in Vic/Tofino and anywhere in between? Feedback is much appriciated.
Thank you good night.
i am home.
When you try your best but you don't succeed
When you get what you want but not what you need
When you feel so tired but you can't sleep
Stuck in reverse
And the tears come streaming down your face
When you lose something you can't replace
When you love someone but it goes to waste could it be worse?
And high up above or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try you'll never know
Just what you're worth
Lights will guide you home
And ignite your bones
And I will try to fix you.
practice what you preach.
twenty bucks
A well-known speaker started off his seminar by holding up a $20.00 bill. In the room of 200 he asked, "Who would like this $20 bill?"
Hands started going up. He said, "I am going to give this $20 to one of you but first, let me do this."
He proceeded to crumple up the $20 dollar bill. He then asked, "Who still wants it?"
Still the hands were up in the air. "Well," he replied, "What if I do this?"
And he dropped it on the ground and started to grind it into the floor with his shoe. He picked it up, now crumpled and dirty. "Now, who still wants it?"
Still the hands went into the air. "My friends, we have all learned a very valuable lesson. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not decrease in value. It was still worth $20. Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and ground into the dirt by the decisions we make and the circumstances that come our way. We feel as though we are worthless. But no matter what has happened or what will happen, you will never lose your value. Dirty or clean, crumpled or finely creased, you are still priceless to those who do love you. The worth of our lives comes not in what we do or who we know, but by who we are. You are special, don't ever forget it."
Remember to count your blessings, not your problems. Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming, "Wow, what a ride!"

goodbye internet!
p.s. it is snowing and I have a fever.
wow
A change may not be what you expect, but it will be good for you. Don't let insecurity lead you to a poor career choice. A unique approach to love and relationships will bring far more interest than being to aggressive. 3 stars.
oh god, isnt that so right on the money? That is the most intense horoscope I think i've ever read. Made me kind of realize some things I should have figured out on my own. One is that living here I really do get a lot of opportunity career and living wise. I mean, we are seriously set up here. And two, I think I really need to steer my focus away from the fact that I dont have a significant other, and drive it towards more productive and optomistic things to make myself feel better without one.
Hmm...so any applicants to make my decisions for me?
practice what you preach.
This is a picture of a butterfly i took at crystal gardens. I don't care if you don't want to look at it. I think its pretty and I want to look at it and thats all that matters. Shut your eyes or do something productive if its that much of an eye sore.

and here is an edited version. I hope you like it even less :)
News Flash.
#1. No, I am not a native american, i am not part native, i am not part of any tribe, so please stop asking me.
#2. Yes, I am fully aware that I am a fat cow, please stop reminding me.
#3. No, I no longer do favors for anyone, so please stop asking me that to.
#4. No, you cant borrow my car, no reason needed.
#5. No i wont try to hook you up with some sweet job, get over it. If they wanted you to work here, they would have called you already.
#6. Yes, I do like to work hard. If that bothers you, well i dont really give a shit.
#7. No, I probably dont want to go out to the pub. I either have to work early tomorrow and care about my performance, or I just dont care to see any of the pointless people trying to pick up who dont waste their time on me.
#8. A. Yes I have applied for a bigillion jobs back home, and B. No I havent heard back from any of them.
#9. No, I dont care if Brad Pitt is staying in the hotel, nor do I wan't to hear about what he had for dinner last night.
#10. No I don't care if you don't get along with your roomates and want a room change. Suck it up princess, i' m sure they dont like you either.
#11. No I will not bend any policy for you. Just because you tilt your head a little to the side and smile does not make you any more special nor does it make me care about you any more. In fact, it makes me care less. Try having a temper tantrum, or pouting, cussing and stomping away and maybe THEN I will bend the rules for you. How old are you again?
Question: Can I please have 3 new lightbulbs? NO? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DONT HAVE ANY! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO LIVE IN THE DARK?
Answer: No, I dont expect you to live in the dark at all. In fact that would be quite ridiculous. What I would suggest to you is stop being such a baby and go buy your own, because that is what people do in the REAL world.
Question: Can I have a vacuum? NO? WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU DONT HAVE ONE RIGHT NOW! WHAT DO YOU EXPECT ME TO DO, LIVE IN MY DISGUSTING MESS?
Answer: No, I dont expect you to live in your disgusting mess at all. See above.
NOW HIRING
music makes the world keep on turnin
my whole life
So I am taking a leave of abesnce starting Oct.13th. yay 2 days before my birthday. I am then going to visit some pals in nelson for 5 days or so then its homeward bound to the rents house on vancouver island. I have decided to take a well deserved break for a bit, to focus on things that I have wanted to do and are important to me, but havent had the time to do. And plus it wont be to shabby to have the folks and bro around again for a bit, and I mean who can turn up some real home cooked meals. lol. I will miss my friend Adrienne (a gal here from Australia) a lot, but If I don't do this now I am afraid I never will. The building I am living in right now is actually going to be renovated in a couple of weeks, so I am changing residence for about a month before I head home. A bit of a pain to move so much, but the place I will be going to I will have my own room which is quite nice. I'm sleepy.
Everyday
Everyday, live it like it's your last one. Every kiss, kiss it like it's your first love. If i had one wish; then I would wish that you would live today like everyday, Everyday is your last one. People always rushing around,wasting time on money. Don't be just a face in the crowd.Getting high and running from something. I'm not trying to tell you what to do. In the end, it's up to you.
Dip your feet into the ocean. Let the sun beat on your skin. Soak in every emotion,that you never thought you'd live. And never take for granted,every breath you're breathing in. Go everywhere you've never been.
Good news for people who love bad news.
But what is the real world anyways.
Another thought. Why is everyone in such a rush to go to college or university right after high school? Why not wait 5 + years so you can have some time to actually decide want to do with your life. Or at least have something to look forward to. As for me, I am finished college now. Starting to feel like I didn't get a hell of a lot out of it. Depends on how you look at it I guess. And now what am I doing? Nothing. I become depressed by working my butt off in a place I don't really enjoy only to spend everything I have on things that can make me happy for about 5 minutes. Its just a continuous circle.
I miss my family. I love them so much and they are the only thing that matter to me anymore. They are the only people who will be there for you and love you for your entire life no matter what. Mom i wanna come home.
The ocean breathes salty, won't you carry it in? In your head, in your mouth, in your soul.
The more we move ahead the more we're stuck in rewind. Well I don't mind. I don't mind. How the hell could I mind?
Well that is that and this is this. You tell me what you want and I'll tell you what you get. You get away from me. You get away from me.
Well that is that and this is this. Will you tell me what you saw and I'll tell you what you missed, when the ocean met the sky. You wasted life, why wouldn't you waste the afterlife?
P.S. i miss you caity and april.
ok PERFECT THANK YOU!
In other news, I have decided to take a lil road trip down to good ol nelson. I will be bringing caity, april and possibly mallory with me on this excursion.
