“I’m a Canadian.
We’re a quiet bunch; prone to enjoying hockey, drinking stronger beer than our friends south of the border, and lovers of fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy.
We also, apparently, have an inferiority complex when it comes to being evil dirt bags, because we’ve decided to pass our very own version of SOPA up here.
Only better*
Meet Bill-C11. Formerly Bill C-32. (I think they thought if they made the number lower people would care less about it?)
{…}
But, as innocuous as it sounds, C-11 does a whole lot that SOPA did with a few extra twists you might not find in the Wikipedia write-up.
Like your PVR? You can’t keep it under C-11.
Like ripping CDs to your iPod? Say bye-bye.
Hey, do you want to be able to unlock your $500 smartphone and take it to a provider less dedicated to violating your wallet? That won’t be allowed either.
Did you get accused of internet piracy but no evidence has been presented and a trial date hasn’t even been set? Under C-11 your ISP will now be forced to terminate your internet access.
And people say that governments can’t be bought.

There are only 14 days left people. Get active.”
Send a letter to your Member of Parliament now. The letters are prewritten, you just need to click send.
Come on non-Canadian people, please signal boost this for your Canadian friends.
This is so, so important. Take a stand and make a difference; that, or don’t complain when your rights are violated or you disagree with legislation. Doing nothing is equivalent to giving permission to proceed.

or even just the majority of things, but don’t be afraid to show when you’re sad.
Everything isn’t always possible; we have to do things that we don’t like sometimes. But if something makes you miserable then it might not be a good fit.
I finally got the domain mapping to work, so check out my new domain! (Also on tumblr, but I wanted to start fresh :)
Matterhorn | When Plates Collide (photo by unlimited inspirations)
There’s something amazing that has happened over millions of years. Continental plates first separated and then collided, launching up the Alps when plates overlapped each other. Though Matterhorn is a very amazing site to see out of all the mountains in the Alps, because of its pyramid shape (due to erosion) and the result of the Apulian Plate (part of the African Plate which broke off) and Eurasian Plate collision. The top of Matterhorn is composed of gneisses from the African continent, where the lower parts are full of sedimentary rock and greenschists from the oceanic crust of the ancient Piemont-Liguria Ocean that separated Laurasia and Gondwana during the mid-late Mesozoic Era.
Matterhorn is located at the border of Italy and Switzerland in the Pennine Alps. It is one of the tallest mountains in the Alps, surpassing 14,500 feet.
I’m so eating my words. My kitten is insane and full of friggin’ energy. I can’t keep up with the little shit disturber. But I love her muchos.


Thomas and I might be getting another cat/adopting a kitten. I hope it has just as much energy as this one. Lu has become quite lazy.
to work as the little guy.
don’t get me wrong, I’m lucky to be working at all, and I know that. to have a job right now is something that a few of my friends would trade anything for. especially one in our industry.
I just want to stop hating my job. it’s getting difficult to show up. when does it get easier?
and when will I be able to do what they hired me to do?
/end whining.

I am *not* registering for classes, or enrolled in any way shape or form in September.
This feels so weird. And I miss university already.
To anyone who’s begrudgingly going back to school (or are already there), I know it’s difficult but try to have the best time you can! Assignments will suck, teachers will suck, and it’s not going to be easy, but I can say without exaggeration that university was the best time of my life.
Enjoy it while you can! =)
In the meantime, I’m going to research masters degrees…
So damn cool. The brain has always fascinated me. Wish I could take more psych classes.
“And finally, to all Canadians: Canada is a great country, one of the hopes of the world. We can be a better one – a country of greater equality, justice, and opportunity. We can build a prosperous economy and a society that shares its benefits more fairly. We can look after our seniors. We can offer better futures for our children. We can do our part to save the world’s environment. We can restore our good name in the world. We can do all of these things because we finally have a party system at the national level where there are real choices; where your vote matters; where working for change can actually bring about change. In the months and years to come, New Democrats will put a compelling new alternative to you. My colleagues in our party are an impressive, committed team. Give them a careful hearing; consider the alternatives; and consider that we can be a better, fairer, more equal country by working together. Don’t let them tell you it can’t be done.”
truth.
