You want to know what really pisses me off?
I bet most of the people that this bus strike affects didn't bother to go out and vote in the last municipal election. If you didn't vote out of sheer laziness and apathy, fuck you. It's because of people who didn't vote that asshats like Larry O'Brien get to be our mayor, and fuck up our lives with stupid non-campaigns like "NO NEW TAXES!" It's ( Read more... ) -
Why so many lies?
I hear so many falsehoods about the Green Party, and I don't understand where they come from. I hear things like, they're against same-sex marriage, they're anti-union, they don't advocate for the poor, they want people to vote for the Liberals instead ( Read more... ) -

Like a rush that never fades
Where do I even start? It seems like the past week was a dream and I've just woken up in the same boring room I've always been in, doing the same things I always do.

Not being ( Read more... ) -

Because a dream is what you wanna do, but still haven't pursued
I knew what I wanted and did it till it was done
So i've been the dream that I wanted to be since day one!

I've just discovered that co-op won't actually pay me a regular paycheque, so I won't see the money I make from it till six months later. I need that money to pay for next fall and winter, and I won't even see it until well after the fact! wtf ( Read more... ) -

I think that feeling I have whenever I read or hear about my friends and other people I know traveling somewhere must be jealousy. It's been so long since I went anywhere outside of Ontario, and it seems like it'll be a longer time still until I actually have the time to do so. The very few chances I get are ripped out from under my feet at the ( Read more... )
