we have no scar to show happiness. We learn so little from peace.

nafta is a bunch of bull shit, but im glad to see we are finally starting to fight back.

and the sad thing is, some people are shocked to learn this


give me one

Mundy why you love rap music so much, I don't think I will ever understand.

I watched Jackie Brown last night, one of the main characters makes a living off of the buying and selling of small arms to local gangs and thugs. Which kinda goes hand in hand with the article above. Everytime a weapon is used in a hollywood movie or lyrics in a rap song, he ends up selling a shit load of said weapon.

Anyhow this character played by Samuel Jackson makes quite a bit of money. He does all this illegally but can you imagine this kind of business done legally and on a much more massive scale? I guess this is why it is the largest industry in the world. So for all you out there, that are hell bent on making as much money as possible in your life time, I highly recommend you get into the arms trade.

From 1998 to 2001, the USA, the UK, and France earned more income from arms sales to developing countries than they gave in aid.

The arms industry is unlike any other. It operates without regulation. It suffers from widespread corruption and bribes. And it makes its profits on the back of machines designed to kill and maim human beings.

So who profits most from this murderous trade? The five permanent members of the UN Security Council – the USA, UK, France, Russia, and China. Together, they are responsible for eighty eight per cent of reported conventional arms exports.
“We can’t have it both ways. We can’t be both the world’s leading champion of peace and the world’s leading supplier of arms.” Former US President Jimmy Carter, presidential campaign, 1976





Slaves good for the economy, selling instruments of death is great for the economy, a big fucking war is really good for the economy, I guess a global genocide has the same positive economic equivalent to that of 400 trillion christmases all happening at once.
I'm pretty sure the entire economic structure of this world is based on a whole bunch of bullshit, and an even great number of dillusional people eating it. So save your "it's bad for the economy" nonsense for some other fucking moron.

movie time

these movies might be really funny, or fucking terrible.

This director is fucking amazing. I really need to see "welcome to the doll house".
this movie looks interesting
from the maker of FUBAR, my friend nicole reassures me that this movie will be great.
the chronicles of narnia looks pretty rad ass.
I always ment to read this book, but never did. This guy produced snatch, and im glad he is sticking with the formula, cause its good. im curious to what this film is going to be like.
and this movie will be amazing, linklater rocks.
movies are great.
im far too hung over to say anything remotely interesting or intelligent

this hearts on fire

im tired. got arrested last night. i hate oakville police. another fucking drinking ticket that i will have to fight. bar none the stupidist cop experince of my entire life. I can honestly say I didn't do anything wrong, nor did I break any laws. One fucking cop made up some shit that I had a record in Montreal that consisted of lots of drinking tickets and jaywalking....

it is impossible to get a jaywalking ticket in montreal. Weirdo lying pigger.

anyhow fuck cops, cops suck.
the song "this heart's on fire" is good. Free good Canadian music.

Now why on earth would america encourage an arm$ race?? $$

time for sleep.

some drink too much, some drink too little

(I wrote this when i was drunk a couple days ago, it didnt post and half of it is missing)

And fuck all you inbetweeners! You boring, calm, rational, fucks!

Spent last night at a 20$ (thank you bryan) all you can drink fest at my schools local Irish bar. They only had sleeman in the beer departement so I was forced (ok not really forced) to turn to my good old friend gin.
So I drank alot of gin, and at somepoint my memory goes blank. Apparently I was given ten dollars for a cab but decided to walk home. Not sure why I am mentioning this, I must still be drunk.

Going home this weekend.

u2 and people have more money then fucking brains

I've been scalping U2 tickets for about 5 years now, and I must admit, it is fucking retarded how much money people are willing to spend on seeing this band. Though I have never seen the band because $700 always sounded better then a rock concert, I assume they can't be that good. I think most huge venu concerts are shit for the most part, but thats just my opinion. Do a search on ebay right now, and you will see how fucking ridiculous the cost of tickets are.

On the news right now they are talking about how easy it is to travel across the Canadian/American border. So why aren't I smuggling large quantites of marijuanna into america.... I don't know. I'll either be forced to do that to pay off my fucking OSAP, or I plan on moving to Cuba and avoding all western debt collectors forever!!

If you can afford to spend over $1000 on a rock concert, you have way too much fucking money for your own good. And on that not, I fucking hate ticketmaster, but I really hate admission. They french counter part, is even shittier.

I am going to by a silk screening press and start making my own t-shits. I think they are going to be fucking hot.

i am fucking bored

i can't express how much i love wikipedia. I thought this was fairly interesting .
For those of you who ever liked the smashing pumpkins, here is a website jam packed full of pretty good mp3's.

and man, i haven't been this bored in a longgg time.

I like the word scissor , I just think it looks and sounds cool.
Good albums that I sorta forgot about: Dave Matthews Band - Crash, Hawksley Workman - for him and the girls, Cat Power - you are free, Tom Petty - wildflowers, Matthew Good - beautiful midnight.

my blog sucks, I guess that means i either am boring, or I'm not much of a blogger.
While laying around stoned and bored I discovered you can find the entire oakville blogging community by googling "oakville sucks". Apparently hating oakville, and blogging go hand in hand.
Going to the home town this weekend for crusify gods only son weekend. I highly reccomend that you go buy a massive quantity of mini-eggs, cause they are so fucking tasty. Sadly the dollar store was sold out today.
Currently watching the Nature of Things on the CBC, it is about anger, and its pretty interesting. Either that or I'm really bored, and hard up for entertainment.

weather today was fucking beautiful. it quickly reminded me of how much I want to stay in Montreal this summer. I really wish I could get a decent paying job in this city, and learn how to control my drinking habits. Ever since my mom sold my old house, I have had very little desire to return to my home town. No pool, no huge yard to have parties, and no bed to sleep in is a shitty time.

This blog is going to try and shift away from the world of politics and bull shit. I need to get a new digital camera so I can take exciting pictures and shit again. Then this site will just be full of nonsense and pictures of naked sloots!!! or not... whatever.
Apparently OSAP decided to re-ases my loan, and have decided to give me 4000 more bucks. Fuck ya!! I currently have less then 5 dollars and a fuck load of debt to my name.

Paul Dundes Wolfowitz

Paul Wolfowitz has been recently nominated for head of the World Bank. The Japaneese and Americans have the largest number of shares in the world bank, and both back the man for the job, so it is his. Hook, line, and sinker.
Wolfowitz is the leading force behind the current neo-conservative American administration. The war in Iraq, Afganistan, and pending war in Iran. In order to better understand their mind set I reccomend that you read their manifesto here.

From an article in the economist "A related worry is that Mr Wolfowitz will not be able to separate himself from the White House. It is perhaps instructive to look at the history of another man who came out of America’s defence department to head the World Bank: Robert McNamara, who as defence secretary was an architect of the Vietnam war. Mr McNamara was accused of picking aid recipients based on their support for America’s foreign policy, rather than their suitability for assistance."

If you don't know who Robert McNamara is, I highly reccomend that you rent the film "fog of war".

Good reads on Wolfowitz:This one is a must, and then from the Gurdian, from the New York Times,


bla bla bla, the world is fuckedddd

who visits this blog? I have no fucking idea. I get on average 8 hits a day with the highest being 22 in a single day.
It is about time somebody fucking realised this.
Bush nominates fucking Wolfowitz as the new head for the World Bank. The current head of the world bank wants to keep the job, but doesn't enjoy killing people and fucking up country's economies quite enough.

how america votes

Some would ask me: "james you honestly think that an american election could be fixed?"

1. 80% of all votes in America are counted by only two companies: Diebold and ES&S
2. There is no federal agency with regulatory authority or oversight of the U.S. voting machine industry.
3. The vice-president of Diebold and the president of ES&S are brothers.
4. Chairman/CEO of Diebold is a major Bush campaign organizer and donor who wrote in 2003 that he was "committed to helping Ohio deliver its electoral votes to the President."
5. Republican Senator Chuck Hagel used to be chairman of ES&S. He became Senator based on votes counted by ES&S machines.
6. Republican Senator Chuck Hagel, long-connected with the Bush family, was recently caught lying about his ownership of ES&S by the Senate Ethics Committee.
7. Senator Chuck Hagel was on a short list of George W. Bush's vice-presidential candidates.
8. ES&S is the largest voting machine manufacturer in the U.S. and counts almost 60% of all U.S. votes.
9. Diebold's touch screen voting machines have no paper trail. There is no way to verify that the data coming out of the machine is the same as what was put in by voters.
10. Diebold also makes ATMs, checkout scanners, and ticket machines, all of which log each transaction and can generate a paper trail.
11. Diebold is based in Ohio.
12. Diebold employed 5 convicted felons as consultants and developers to help write the central compiler computer code that counted 50% of the votes in 30 states.
13. Jeff Dean was Senior Vice-President of General Election Systems when it was bought by Diebold. Even though he had been convicted of 23 counts of felony theft in the first degree, Jeff Dean was retained as a consultant by Diebold and was largely responsible for programming the optical scanning software now used in most of the United States.
14. Diebold consultant Jeff Dean was convicted of planting back doors in his software and using a "high degree of sophistication" to evade detection over a period of 2 years.
15. None of the international election observers were allowed in the polls in Ohio.
16. California banned the use of Diebold machines because of horrible security. Despite Diebold's claims that the audit logs could not be hacked, a monkey was able to do so!
17. 30% of all U.S. votes are carried out on unverifiable touch screen voting machines with no paper trail.
18. All -- not some -- but all the voting machine errors detected and reported in Florida went in favor of Bush or Republican candidates.
19. The governor of the state of Florida, Jeb Bush, is the President's brother (I know it's worn out, but had I eliminated it, there would only be 19 facts).
20. Serious voting anomalies in Florida -- again always favoring Bush -- have been mathematically demonstrated and experts are recommending further investigation.

as the world turns

The people of Lebanon come out in the hundred of thousands for a pro Nationalist, anti-Syrian protest. An estimated 800,000 came out, making it the largest protest in the country's history.
I've been trying to find the numbers for the pro-Syrian protest, but have yet to been able to find them.
Again, far too little, but another lame ass political gesture.
A brilliant piece that we should all read by Matt Good.
If you believe in god, start praying for the people of Taiwan.
Another fine example that the American government is in the pocket of large corporations. If you can explain to me, who the fuck this benefits (other then the obvious) you can have my credit card. mmmm fuck the middle class just a little harder.

There is a province wide strike in Quebec protesting tuition hike, and cuts to provincial loans and bursaries. There really should be a nation wide strike against the Liberal governments decision to do fuck all for education in their recent budget. But when you have the party of the rich as the official opposition, and a government that doesn't want to loose its job, it's no longer an issue.
Once again if you are Conservative and hate the Liberals, just remember you're just as bad.... You'd be worst if you were given the chance.
words on the budget

my friend andrew says he's good, so he's most likely right.

canadian poetry at its finest.

boycott the pricks

I've been trying to do this to the best of my ability for a long time. Time to try harder, and get others to do so aswell.

and noam tells us what we all ready know, "nobody gives a fuck"

Russell Crowe apparentlyy loves Hawksley Workman, and was introduced to it by Renne Zellwiger.
I guess not all celebrities are assholes. Renne still sucks, but I feel inclined to go rent that boat movie Russell was in.
for some reason I am reminded of when I had bad insomnia, and would watch Australian "temptation island", sooo much better then the shitty american knock off.

I want new music.... on that note. New Iron and wine.... pretty tasty.

well yesterday was a weird ass day. My lower back has been bothering me, so i've been taking muscle relaxents in order to cure the pain. I also thought i had a bit of a cold, so I took some cough medicine. I also made a kick ass shepherds pie, which needed to be consumed with a nice pub beer. So I put the pie in the oven, and then went to the store to by myself a few cans of beer. By the time I returned.... I was fuckedddd. I was defiantly acting weird and tripping out. The meds also crushed my appetite, so I couldn't eat. I thought if I drank a pint in might bring my appetite back....

anyhow, by the end of it all I was really fucked up and reminded of the time when my friends and I used to get stoned on cough syrup in my friend andrew's basement.

on that note. This is the website that taught me about DXM back in the day. Well I first learned about it cause I saw the movie basketball diaries, from there I got the book. In the book there is a few parts where Jim goes into great detail about getting stoned on cough syrup. I looked it up on the internet, then purchased large quantities of it off the internet using fake doctor documents (which weren't even necessary) and then sold in in my home town. For a few summers there was a DXM craze, where I was the sole provider. I would make people buy it when I sold then pot. dime bag for 15 or a dime bag and a hit of DXM for 15. Which do you think people are going to take? Nobody wants to get ripped off 15 for a dime bag, but it seems like a fucking deal when it comes with some shit you've never heard of.

Creating a market for a new drug..... not fucking hard, in my experience.

I was going to write about who was more of corrupting influence on my life, my sister or brother.... I will do that when im more sober.

pushing water up a hill

blogger was being annoying all day.

at a cetain point in my life i stopped making promises cause I didn't want to make ones I couldn't keep. At this point in time did i become:
a) more honest
b) admited to myself that i am unreliable and decided to do nothing about it.
c) something else.

half a million come out to remind the world that the majority, hates america.

about FUCK

man if I were alive in the 15 or 16th century I might have a chance at having proper manners.
and this is my favorite part of it:
"He's a great fucker!" (He's a great fellow, not he's sexually competent.)

my computer is fucked, so blogging will be minimal... or not, it depends on how much of a computer geek I am.

read this book, it is soo good

the funniest fucking thing in the world

this is me in the summer time in maine a few years ago. i want it to be warm, fuck the snow.

people say I don't have enough pictures on my website. Here is one from around new years. That is batman, his girlfriend nicole and I riding the horse on sherbrooke.

watching curling is actually entertaining. I enjoy how the game is slow, and they don't bull shit about it. It's not like baseball or american football, where they constantly try to make the game seem more exciting and fast paced, then it actually is.
Fucking Alberta is damn good.

Another great article from ZNet, this one talks about the use of Mercenaries in Iraq, and the multi billion dollar industry that is rapidly growing around it.

And jetsgo has some cheap ass flights, so travel around Canada, or just come to Montreal.

this girl has an interesting column in wired magazine.

ya fucking technology

Fucking finally, this is the coolest damn thing to ever happen in the film industry.
A film festival using P2P networking (Kazaa, Limewire, etcc...). This makes it so DVD quality films can be distributed to everyone and anyone at ZERO cost.
It sounds like their are some cool movies to download, so check it out.

I always wanted to use P2P networking as a new alternative media. Fuck network TV, just have production companies, that create, purchase and market content, and then use the internet as a distribution channel, this would cut costs to slim to fuck all, but most importantly, the Internet can not be regulated, no matter how hard any government tries. SO NO CENCORSHIP... boo yaaa.

The internet is gods gift to free speech.

Another reason why Sweeden is far more socially advanced then the rest of the world.

Apparently Beck will be on the O.C. tonight, but rather who gives a fuck cause during this episode will be the TRAILER to the new STAR WARS movie. OHhh fuck ya. Lets all hope the 3rd episode makes up for the shittyness of 1 and 2.

Here is a great website where you can download footage of Che Guevara.

1,500 American soldiers have been offically killed since the occupation of Iraq. With 1,362 deaths comming after the "end of all major combat operations in Iraq".
You may be asking, "How many Iraqi's have died?". The Pentagon refuses to keep track of this, as General Tommy Franks, US Central Command's motto is "We don't do bodycounts". Reports vary from 18,500 to 190,000.

Another reason why Vermont should be part of Canada.
Will the insane neo-cons get their wish and attack Iran??? It seems far too likely.

I heart Huckabees is a great fucking movie. If you don't like it, odds are you suck, or you're a bitch/asshole.

Go Latin America Go!! Isn't it wonderful!
As soon as President Vazquez was sworn in, he immediately restored full diplomatic relations with Cuba.

According to my Canadian political parties prof, the sponsorship scandal has been fueling Quebec nationalism, and return to the desire to separate. There is also a show on French television that is incredibly popular, which is the sponsorship scandal thinly disguised as a bunch of lower class French family that are crooks.
