So, Justin Trudeau has become the leader of the Liberal Party of Canada. Which is awesome for him, because even though everyone thinks he's just a pretty face with a famous name, I think he actually could institute some change in this country. Unlike Mr. Harper and his decision to cut cultural programs, and use the funding for expensive jets which we have little to no use for. Also, the same guy pulled us out of a commission for droughts. Out of all the countries in the UN we're the only one who was like- nah, fuck it bro. We've got most of the world's fresh water resources, so screw those who don't have water. annndd I'm pretty sure Harper's an Android. I've never seen a picture of the man smiling where it doesn't look like it pains him to do so.

However, what do the conservatives do as soon as Justin Trudeau gets party leadership? What they do best of course.Within 24 hours of the end of the Liberal convention- boom- Attack Ad.
It's like Conservatives... I'm getting real tired of your shit. Are your policies really that shit that you need to make attack ads SLANDERING the opponent? Why can't you be like the American candidates and make us hate you through terrible ad campaigns about yourself? (ie. Like Rick Perry) Ever since I was born, 22 years ago, the conservatives have been using the worst slew of attack ads ever. They started by crossing the line in 1993 with the face campaign, where they intercut pictures of Jean Chretien's face with different quotes and such saying " Is this a Prime Minister". They didn't necessarily mean to make it sound like they were attacking Chretien personally, just his policies. However, due to the nature of the ad it made it sound like they were poking fun at Chretien's facial deformity- ie. the fact that one side of his face was paralyzed due to Bell's palsy. Here's the news report that contains pieces of the ad.

Then with the sponsorship scandal they had new fodder for their cannons, and were able to gain power in the country. There was the campaign about Stephane Dion " Not a Leader", and for Michael Ignatieff " Just Visiting", now there's Justin's attack ads- which are coming out two years before an election is even in sight. They took things he said fourteen years ago, as well as a video of him doing a fake strip tease for charity- which they didn't mention it was for charity and made him look like a college fratboy stripping for crowds.
It was asinine, and uncalled for.
Seriously Conservatives, when are you going to grow up and start showing what you're going to do for Canada instead of bashing the opponents? Make us believe that you're going to stand up for the rights of Canadians, instead of stomp on them. Is that really too difficult?

What the Hell world?
So, today has been a pretty interesting day news wise.
My thoughts and prayers are going out to those hurt and killed in Boston today. Some idiot decided that the Boston Marathon was a good place to target, and two bombs went off at the finish line. Two more were dismantled. I'm sorry, but what the hell? Who's like: a marathon is the perfect place to bomb people!? I don't understand why. No one does.
Another incident of stupidity. Justin Bieber, Canada's most shameful, and (unfortunately) popular popstar is at it again. The kid oozes disrespect from his pores, I tell you. When he's not showing up to accept an award from the Prime Minister dressed in overalls and a backwards baseball cap, with a gangster chain looking like that little shit from the down the street who "tagged" the sidewalk in front of your house, he's insulting the memory of a holocaust victim.

| Despite having little respect for Stephen Harper, I have less for Bieber |
How you may ask? It's simple. He went to the Anne Frank House in Amsterdam and wrote "Truly inspiring to be able to come here. Anne was a great girl. Hopefully she would have been a belieber". Yup. Excuse me. Giant ego coming through! WIDE LOAD. I don't understand how you could be that arrogant. I know you're arguably the biggest pop star in the world right now. I know that you're probably the most famous thing to be spit out of Canada in like, ever. But after going through a museum about a girl who remained positive despite the fact that her life was on the line and she had to live in an attic with six other people, and who eventually died in a concentration camp and not coming out being an Anne Frank fan- Yup you're an arrogant little prick. I think I hate him more than Joffrey Baratheon, and Joffrey's a fictional character.
Anne wrote about wanting to go outside, wanting to be a normal little girl. Instead, just because of her religion, she was persecuted. Some Beliebers cry over the fact that Justin Bieber would smoke pot, potentially have cancer, or just generally be ridiculed. To say that you hope she would have been a Belieber is such a dick move. Just stop being such an embarrassment to Canada, Justin, and I will stop hating you. Your songs are about girls, girls, and stuff that I don't know about because I don't listen to your music. Not about living, and trying to stay positive because the world is getting dark and scary real fast. Not about hiding and having to be quiet or else you know that you will be starved, beaten, and maybe killed.
So... I'll end my rant there.
God Bless Boston tonight.

Dollar Store Fashion Tips
I've been spending quite a considerable time at the Dollar store for some reason, and I feel like there should be some sort of dress code or something.
1. No shirt, No shoes, No service.
Pretty self explanatory and thought to be common sense, until I saw some guy walking around barefoot. Some other guy was just completely thumbing his nose to common sense by being bare-chested and on roller blades. When I told him I didn't think he could be in there, he asked me: "Why, don't you like staring at my sixpack?" Dude,You're at a Dollar store... not the beach. I could care less that you have a sixpack because you seem like a pompous douchebag.
2. Please wear something on your butt, ie pants, shorts, skirts, capris etc.. This goes with the no shirt rule, but people don't consider it as much. Also thought this was a common sense thing too, but I saw a woman wearing no pants/shorts in the store. None. Only a Tshirt that barely covered her butt. Plus, if your kid can walk- it is NOT acceptable to have them walking around in a diaper, especially if they look to be over a year old. There are shorts, Skirts and Dresses to maintain some of your child's dignity.
3. Showing skin-->
3a) See-through tshirts
I know it's popular these days to wear shirts that are kind of see-through, Lacy shirts and shirts that have been stressed in a pattern are all the rage, but there's a certain list of rules that needs to be given out to anyone who buys one.
1. Do not wear this shirt without a cami... and if that's too hard
2. Do not wear this shirt with a contrasting bra, or no Bra at all.
I've seen women who wear these shirts and I've felt like gagging while looking at them. HOW CAN YOU POSSIBLY NOT BE SELF- CONSCIOUS ON ANY LEVEL?
3b) Open shirts
Hey Guys. I accept that Hawaiian shirts with their light fabric are pretty comfortable in summer. That's great,
but please BUTTON THEM UP. I do not find a beer belly covered in ridiculous amounts of hair attractive in the very least.
3c) Belly shirts
The sale of Belly shirts should be restricted to those under the age of 25, and I mean severely. I am tired of seeing fat old women squeeze themselves into belly shirts. Belly shirts were made for people who don't have bellies. Same thing applies to shirts that are too short. My stomach roils everytime I see some three-hundred pound person who's gut is hanging out of the bottom of their shirt.
3d) Short Shorts
The restrictions mentioned above should be also applied to short shorts. If I can count the veins or wrinkles on your legs, cover that shenanigans up.
I don't get these crusty old grannies walking in the store with half their teeth, booty shorts and a see-through or belly tshirt.
YOU AREN'T FOOLING ANYONE!
Just a few tips. Nothing too major.
Enjoy and Dress Responsibly.

I take it back
This is about the 50 Shades article.
Maybe the heroine is uninteresting as white bread like Bella Swan, but for serious this book is like Stephenie Meyer gave up Mormonism and her whole Abstinence campaign and joined some sex cult.

Some super creepy Dominance-fueled sex cult.
Just saying.
I was like- Oh God, this book is lame as all hell.
Then I was like O.O MY EYEBALLS HAVE BEEN RAPED WITH WORDS.
Then I think- this book was written by a lady- A TV executive with two kids who lives in South London
Then I was like O.O MY EYEBALLS HAVE BEEN RAPED WITH WORDS.
Then I think- this book was written by a lady- A TV executive with two kids who lives in South London
So I googled her.
THIS IS E.L. JAMES
And after doing a bit of Wiki research I found out certain things.
She apparently wrote the bones of 50 shades as a twilight fanfiction.
MYSTERY SOLVED.
Also apparently it's her midlife crisis on paper.
OBVIOUSLY.
She's late 40's and I'm being a jerk, because I know that I'm not the prettiest lady on the dance floor- but she kind of looks like a guy in a wig, or that library lady with too many cats who reads harlequins day and night.
And she came up with this.
Does anyone remember the secretary in the movie "10 things I hate about you". The one that was writing the extremely dirty romance novel on her computer instead of actually doing anything remotely productive? This is that woman made flesh, just a lot creepier.
I know the "I" in the book is supposed to be the lovely Anastasia Steele, but now all I'm going to picture is her... and somehow that's going to lessen the impact. Kind of like how in Glee when they started using coach Beiste as a cool-off code--> yeah like that.
I don't know what's worse, knowing that she wrote this book, or the fact that ladies my mom's age are reading this book.
*Shudder*
*Shudder*
50 Shades of Twilight....
So I'm reading the latest book that is driving everyone into a frenzy. 50 Shades of Grey.
However, I keep getting the eerie feeling like I've read this before. I've only gotten part way through Chapter 2 and I can see some very creepy similarities to another book that was driving people into a frenzy not too long ago. The Twilight Saga.
1. Where should I start... hmm.. I'll start with the location. 50 Shades of Grey is set Seattle/ Vancouver. For those who have read Twilight they might remember that Forks is in the state of Washington, and not too far from Seattle.
2. The Male interest: Christian Grey. So he's got Coppery Hair and Grey eyes, and is a control freak. Edward Cullen has Coppery/Bronze Hair and gold eyes, and is also a control freak. They both show up randomly to make their lady love act even more awkward than ever thought possible. They also are very suave and graceful and act older than they look.
3. The Heroine: She's got brownish hair and not much fashion sense. She loves to curl up with British novels instead of interacting with the populace. She also has never had a boyfriend and has never really felt anything for any boy ever. She is clumsy and socially awkward. Bella Swan suffers from the same characteristics down to a T, not being able to walk across flat surfaces without tripping, and reading Jane Austen novels for fun. Bella works at a outdoor adventure/ camping store while Anastasia works at a hardware store--> I know they're not the same, but in my head I can't help linking them because I shop too much at Canadian Tire which has both.

4. The best guy friend
Jacob and Jose.
Both minorities, and both ever hopeful that their best girl will deign to show them any sort of romantic affection.
She doesn't. Ever.
I know, I know- I'm being picky and bratty, and I've got to give this book a chance. However, I just wanted to point out some of the similarities I picked out.

Randomosity
It's late and I should be sleeping. Too bad I've got a song pumping through my brain that makes me wish it was summer so I could dance in the sun.
I want to create something. I want to push this energy from my hands and have something take shape underneath them. Create something that is more than breath and tears and words, but something that is made of heart, heat and soul.
I feel like I just might be going insane. That somehow I will get lost in the riptide of words and feelings, and suddenly my head will go under. I will be driven mad, like poor lost Pip in Moby Dick.
I wish I could sing, I wish I could shout. I wish I could push these words from my lungs and my fingers and call you all to listen to what I want to say. I wish I could make you listen. I wish I could pour my words in your ears, until they leak out of your mouth, and your eyes. I wish, I wish, I wish, as all the falling stars come raining down onto the fabric of the horizon.
It's almost two in the morning on a cold winter's night, but I'm dreaming of spring and sunshine. I'm dreaming of your smiling face in a certain slant of light and I know this is how I will see you always. Time and tides will change the earth, but this is how you'll remain.
