"The world's most primitive people have few possessions, but they are not poor. Poverty is not a certain small amount of goods, nor is it just a relation between means and ends; above all it is a relation between people. Poverty is a social status. As such it is the invention of civilisation. It has grown with civilisation, at once as an invidious ( Read more... )

A few funny things from yesterday. I won't post anyone else since I don't know if Jarret would like to see his tummy on a livejournal! And after I hear Tony that keeps telling me at 4-5 AM, "woah my leg and my shoulder hurts so much its gonna die." See what you did? I'm starting to wonder if you're really straight edge and you don't remember ( Read more... )

Finding an appartment is a pain in the ass, let me tell you. Emilie and I wandered all around the streets in Montreal for at least five hours today. Hard times. The only place we found that looks like a potential place (although we didn't visit it yet) is a 8 ½ apparment, 5 bedrooms, corner Rosemont / 2e avenue that would cost $260 / month + ( Read more... )

You entered my life like a bird in an open window, flying around fast (we can't see your wings), leaving my active mind speechless. You crush yourself on the pale surface of the fridge, on the bumps of the suspended stainlessteel ustensils. I try to stop you, you're fooling my life around, you're making such a big mess, and I know that you make me ( Read more... )
