Well its offical. I'm soon off to Japan. This blog will generally now turn to detailing at this point my preperations for the trip. It looks like I will be leaving around the end of August but since I will be away for at least two years there is a lot to do. In a further posting I will detail the relationship between Stony Plain and Shikoai, which is the town I will be teaching English.

If anyone in America can tell me why you still support Bush after the below little nugget was published. Its a memo from the British Government which said in reference to the Iraq War;

"The intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."

Facts being fixed? Read the memo in full here. I don't think my skills are needed to interpet this quote nor put it in context for anyone. The war is a sham and people, Iraqi and American, lost their lives. My question is how does a population not revolt in light of this kind of high-level conformation? Where is your moral compass? Where does the Truth lie? I guess I'd have more respect for Bush if he came out and said from day one that, "If you want cheap gas for your SUVs, were going to need to invade a country and scarfice some lives on the other side of the world." But instead he goes on and on about freedom and democracy, as if our class-based, materialist society is the pinicale of human civilization. There is no democracy at the point of a gun. Isnt that common sense? Am I really just to darn idealistic?

I know what freedom is. I know what equality is. I know what democracy is. We all do. Our souls want to be free. This is a line in the sand. Im taking back those words-- democracy and freedom. Im offically making them the people's-- the citizen's-- again.

Now... for lunch.

Im going to go out for a walk now. Think about two things while reading the quote below. First, its from Republican Majority Leader Bill Frist in regards to banning philibusters. And secondly, Tom Delay's low ethical standards. Frist really expects people to believe the Republicans are morally superior. Amaizing.

That may be true. But if what Democrats are doing is wrong today, it won't be right for Republicans to do the same thing tomorrow.

OK, everyone must run, run to this website. Don't sit there, listening to bad music. Run, Walk, transport, roll, drive, combust, shoot, make, trim, go to this webiste.

JUST CONCERTS @ CBC RADIO 3

Lots of cool music, good hiphop at least. All delivered to your desktip at a high bit rate. Peace.

What is the news of today that I would like to note. Surprisingly, it is nothing that was in the headlines. Morgellons. Link. Its not from Mars, its not a weapon, but it is strange. I'm I looking into the future? Maybe.

Im still alive and well but very busy.

Im still alive just very busy.

I feel like flexing my writing muscle this very moment. So while trying to get into the headspace of a writer I have had to ask myself one question. Who is my audience? This is important because this blog has no audience, I'm writing to absolutely no one. Don't worry I'm not necessarily writing this to blame you because I'm the only one reading it. Confused? This could be a really long post. It is very important when writing a play or book to ask who is going to read this book. The write should be able to read his or her work from the perspective of the audience. Does a work survive if no one reads it? Does the work exist if no one reads it? It's weird, I'm sitting here at my computer writing to no one, not even myself. Deep eh? Stop.

I found an amazing website after hearing a speaker on Coast to Coast AM. Xeno tech research has done extensive analyze of NASAs and ESAs Mars Data. And guess what, there are fossils and liquid water on Mars. NASA has yet to officially announce this data, but at the present time they do not denie it either. Actually, they confirm most of it so far. So with the found methane and liquid water, where's the life?
