Same old, same old
If you don't have Facebook, don't complain about me not posting stuff very often on here anymore. It seriously takes five seconds to post a photo over there, whereas here at Blogspot it's an ordeal.
Read this, and tell me what you think about the importance of religious people in our grand campaign to save the world from... well, mostly religious people.
Not much is new. Some really great people left my academy, to be replaced by a bunch of stupid fucking useless idiots. (Just kidding. They seem cool. Even the American, if you count Buffalo as part of the U.S.. Some American's don't.) We went to an all-the-meat-you-can-eat-and-all-the-liquor-wine-and-beer-you-can-drink restaurant called Carne Station. It cost twenty dollars for two and a half hours. We stole bottles of whisky and wine on the way out and drank them on the street on the way to a club. Why aren't there all-you-can-eat-and-drink restaurants in Canada that cost twenty dollars? And don't just tell me it's financially unfeasible--you can't spell unfeasible without feasible, jerk.
Six months down, six months left. If I ever work here again, it'll be at a university--50% more money, and four months of paid vacation. (I get two to three weeks, including holidays.) I'll miss the food, and I'll miss being able to swear profusely in front of old people on the subway because they can't understand anything I'm saying, but all in all this routine has become a bit too routine, if you know what I mean.
I'll leave you with this photo of Jimmy doing his best to look creepy while riding a child-sized mechanical horse, with Jenn riding shotgun and Paul (new guy from Halifax--it's an East Coast takeover!) eating meat on a stick. I eat meat on a stick everyday now. It's gross. And really tasty.

If Mr. Taylor recieves $10. or $1,000,000 it is not the point. If anyone can justify war and use religion as a catalist there has to be a proven reason. For thousands of years it has been proven time and again all it does is gain hatred of fellow humans. In the same token if someone can justify that war and religion are not a reason to enialate fellow humans and spirituality and faith have proven (Gandi, Mandella) to be an integral part of peace how can somenone believe differently. Matthew for a philosopher it would appear that you have tunnel vision. Thank God we have Mr. Taylor and people like him. He is a great Canadian. By the way the $1000,000 is research money. He is not a young man and hopefully someday someone will take over the reins for him.
Uhh... thanks, Mom. It's actually not research money--there are no strings attached--but he's free to use it for research. Wasn't aware he'd discussed his plans for the funds with you.
A cursory consideration of the problems the world faces right now would show you that religion currently is being used to justify a great deal of harms being committed. Also, if it weren't for religious people, George W. Bush would never have been elected.
