Canadians are getting shafted. There's a report going 'round how we Canucks are getting less vacay time than our European brothers and sisters.
Whilst our Mother Colony, her freaky French/Spanish cousins and lest we forget the Deutschlanders and Italianos all get to bask in the warm Caribbean sun for at least 3-4 weeks, we pride ourselves on taking an average of only 19 days (down from 21 last year) off for our annual family trips to Disneyland - in the car no less!! WOOHOO!!!
So...I propose a national referrendum on vacations. We must adopt an annual minimum paid vacation break of at least one month - August, perhaps. August is nice - don't you think?
Did you know that in France, people save for the vacations, and should they run out of money to buy the essentials - say, Milk or Eggs or Bread etc...they'd sooner eat roaches or worms than touch the vacation money - granted they're French but still...that's commitment!
Well, I'm glad I got that off my chest - and so now, if you all don't mind, I'm going to go on vacation - one week (as per the Cdn. standard) in the sun and it'll be fun!
Done.

Once Every Four Years...
A brief blog here everyone, just to update you on how the music of one band has managed to motivate/inspire the world of sport. I've been saying it for a while, and it seems that the kids over at ESPN have caught on...U2 will be the official band and City of Blinding Lights the official song of the FIFA World Cup of Soccer 2006 tourney in Germany.
Watch it. Listen. Love it.
The title of this blog has been hyperlinked to the commercial spots - a bevy of beautiful commercials - check on the pop-up window's bottom right corner for details...
PEACE.

The Goal is Soul or um _____ ?!?
In keeping up with or rather simply copying (yet with a hopefully marked improvement upon) the Joneses, so to speak, I have decided to hop on the paperclip bandwagon and start my revolution!
I am hereby accepting trade offers for the following item: ONE TV TRAY, WITH FOLD-UP LEGS.
The goal here, is to trade this item up n' up until I have something that I have always wanted: EXTREME FAME AND FORTUNE. I want to be famous and rich, or for that matter, rich and famous (I'm not opposed to their exact order). In exchange for trading upwards for these two intangiables, I propose to trade something else... a portion of both my newfound fame and fortune will be used only for good. I will donate percentages of both my fame and fortune for the betterment of our planet and civilization as a whole.
So, having said that, what have you got to offer me??
I am now accepting trades - the offer stands - ONE TV TRAY, WITH FOLDING LEGS in return for: ______________! (?)
(please note that the winning trade will be published here on my blog)
HAPPY TRADING EVERYONE! (this is not a joke, serious trades only please - I reserve the right to republish your trade offers. If you wish, you may email me at: letsmakeatrade@hotmail.com)
PEACE!

On Relations...sorta, and umm, other stuff too!
...on both personal, customer/consumer and "other" types...
So, firstly, I've been AWOL with a lot of you, not personal, just timing, shitty, shitty timing. For that...I apologise.
I'm in love. Love isn't always the easiest thing to be in...but its soooo satisfying when its good - and this, is good. You're good, babe...yes...you!
I have amazing friends - you're only as good as your friends, and as previously mentioned, I have amazing friends - therefore, by some insane logic, one could argue that I'm amazing (one's trying to argue that I'm sexy, but that's another blog altogether) , but I know you, my friends, my readers well enough not to bother with such false logic.
I love my family - nuff said on that point. I'd go to jail/take a bullet/kill a rodent/squash a spider for you all, anytime. You're wonderful and supportive and for this I'm truly grateful - though I don't think any of my family have actually read this blog. Oh well, its on record.
No - I'm not sucking up, its just that for a while I haven't been able to say what's on my mind b/c I wasn't so sure what it is that's on my mind exactly, but now I do and so I'm airing the laundry - not that its particularly in need of airing/dirty per se.
Per se - I love saying that. So...professional.
Money - I have none. I need loads of it. If you have some to spare, I could really use a square...OY! I did that...just now, I cheesily ripped off a Seinfeldian reference to toilet paper in regards to my lack of funds. Sheesh. No good.
Ok, so now to the rant...
FUCK SAMSUNG ELECTRONICS CORP! EAT SHITE ROGERS COMMUNICATIONS LTD! DIE YOU MISERABLE FUCKERS AT VISA!
Nowhere in this world, I'm now convinced, that offers the notion of Customer SERVICE, can you find such incomptence than right here in the land of Maple Trees n' Leafs!
48 minutes - that's how long it took to get someone to talk to me that a) had command of the english language b) had some of "authority to discuss such matters" - and y'know what kills me here...is that this is actually par for most corporate giants who have not only long forgotten about the lil' guy, but they've already gone n' ass-raped him so much that he could literally shit a watermelon - WHOLE with not even the slightest groan/whimper that a dog could hear!
..and if that's not enough, my favourite Gap Jeans (insert free plug here) just ripped in the back ass-pocket - and I haven't the slightest clue as to how.
The Lord works in mysterious ways - how the good people get shafted to the bottom, while moronic idiots without so much as a shred of original thought are propelled to the top amazes, nay, startles me!
Ahhh, much better. I think I have anger issues...uhoh, can' o worms much?!
I feel like I'm having diarrhea of the mouth/mind/fingers on here, and I guess that's good b/c as mentioned previously, haven't been on here as often as I should. Its theraputic. Now if only someone could cure my stupid scratchy throat/sneezy and running nose...mmmm, yummy!
My neck hurts - and its all your fault. You know who you are. I love you anyways, but still...owwww.
Ya that's right, I'm bitchin', moanin', complainin', and there's nothin' you can do to stop me (I didn't want to add the "d").
Some genius I recently picked up - MORE IS LOST TO INDECISION, THAN TO WRONG DECISION.
Peace.
Done.

At the movies...
so um... ya, been a tad lazy here n' I'm sorry. Just saw RV - the "comedy" with Robin Williams, and while its not drop-dead-laugh-out-loud-funny, its got some humouristic moments.
Ahh, levity.
Robin, let's just hope your next movie Man of the Year and/or Mrs. Doubtfire 2 (ya, that's right a sequel) will be much better.
much, much, much....please.
OK kids, I promise to put on some stuff of value on here shortly...thanks for the patience. oh and by the way...I've altered my fundraising goal to something a little more reasonable - $500 for the UJA Walk With Israel on Sunday May 28, 2006!
Please, if you have a moment, donate to a worthwhile cause. Here's the link: https://secure.e2rm.com/registrant/personalPage.aspx?EventID=5317&LangPref=en-CA&RegistrationID=164402
I personally thank you for your time and generosity!
PEACE!
