Cleaning up after cats brings me back to the good ol' kindergarten days of playing in the sandbox

At some point, maybe a year ago, I figured everything out. Everything. And I was frustrated, but I got it all.

Turns out, no. I don't. I don't know much at all. And I'm very confused, only more frustrated.

Anyways, these blog things are hard to write. I want to do an angry rant. I'm sure I have ammo somewhere in my cranium but it's hiding at the moment. I'll just go with a thoughts that pop into my head.

- My cat Boo is a total bitch. She attacks me when I pet her. Recently she wrecked my "about cannabis" pamphlet. I love that pamphlet. Anyways, I just don't like this cat. I've tried. Somewhere deep down I love her, but I don't like her.

-My "about cannabis" pamphlet is great. It's such propaganda. It talks about the dangers of "the munchies". It also shows a picture of this big car crash resulting in death. The driver, who caused the crash, is obviously high. So high in fact, that he cannot find the energy to even come out of his dopey state and realize he just crashed. Instead, he continues to stare forward with glazed eyes while his smashed car lays motionless. The interesting part is that the other driver is also smoking. And drinking. All them potheads all over the place smashing into each other. Wreckless creatures.

Then there's the picture of the marijuana leaf with handcuffs chasing the kid who's still enhaling a toke as he runs away.

A lady holding a plate with 6 cheesburges.

A kid so desperate for water that he's literally crawling on the floor towards a puddle of water under a tree.

A stern, disappointed judge.

Those are just the pictures. The text is funny too. Whatever, time to move on.

-If you call things gay, it is homophobic. Therefore, you are homophobic. That's not debatable. Saying "you don't mean it that way" is not a good response. You are equating gays to the word "stupid" (if you meant stupid when called whatever it is you were talking about gay). There's a reason you can't say something is so jewish. You may not care about this point, and I know it's an old argument and no one seems to really care. But hey, this is a "thoughts that pop into my head" entry, so I'm putting this out there anyways. It's time we got over this. We're better than that.

-Elizabeth May is fucking awesome. She also looks like a beaver which is pretty damn Canadian if you ask me. Who better to lead Canada than a beaver?

-Beavers don't actually exist. Ever seen one? Neither have I. That's right folks. Our nickels feature an imaginary character.

Oh, you've seen one at the zoo? No you haven't. You saw a robot. There are wheels underneath and it's on a hidden track.

Saw one on TV? Don't believe everything you see on TV, not even the discovery channel (those pricks can say whatever the fuck they want because who's gonna correct them? I sure as hell can't say the scientist dude on mythbusters just BS'd because who's going to believe me?). Same goes with the internet. Except for wikipedia.

-Wikipedia is great. You can spend hours upon hours learning new things. And it's all true. Unless they're talking about beavers. Then it's all lies.

Just for kicks though, here's the wikipedia entry for beavers: LINK

What a load of shit. Look at the picture. It even looks fake. 'Cause it is.

-Canadian Geese should be renamed. They fly around. Land. Shit. Shit. Shit. Eat. Shit. Fly around some more. Rinse. Repeat. Fly down south.

And when they fly down south, they carry our name with it. They are a disgrace to Canada. They should be renamed after a shit country. All in favour of renaming them the North Korean Geese say "aye".

-I'm so very tired. I should go to bed soon.

-While my cat Boo is a bitch, Spike is pretty much my best friend. He's the nicest cat ever. Tonight I was feeling super depressed so the moment I started feeling really upset, he walked over to me and cuddled up against my chest, purred, and nuzzled his face into mine. Awwww cute. Cats just know man. Cats just know.

-School work should stay at school. Home is for TV, video games and masturbation.

And blogging.

-I saw some cartoon, I think it's called Cyanide and something. Nathan will correct me. Anyways, it made some joke about how cartoon Osama Bin Laden looks like Jesus. I giggled.

-I swear I have more intelligent thoughts than I'm showing right now.

-Sleep time. Goodnight.

Oh, I almost forgot to mention the "about cannabis" picture of the angry marijuana smoke. I'm not even sure what that one's supposed to mean. Even the smoke is disappointed in me? Fuck him, judgmental asshole. He's trying to give people cancer.

G'night y'all!

Oh, ah, oh...woah

Looking back a this entry (which WAS long), fuck it. I don't like this entry. There's no room for this shit on Why, A Toast To You Fine Sir.

Instead I bring you a picture:

Oh, right, this thing

I'm dead tired but not ready to give up on the day just yet. I was sitting here, listening to Endless Miles by Sundowner, and wondering what to do. I almost gave in and got ready for bed when I remembered this blog. Ah, thank god I didn't make the horrible mistake of getting some shut eye.

Problem is, as usual, I have nothing to talk about. Life is pretty shit at the moment. I need a job, there's more work than [insert creative line here] and I'm just overall feeling very stressed.

I've been writing this entry for a while now and I'm not very far in. I keep writing for a while and then deleting everything because it's not turning out so well.

Alright, I've got an idea. Whenever I don't have any ideas for entries, I'll come up with a list.

So what shall today's list be about? Hmmmmmmm...well I'm still listening to Sundowner and really enjoying it so, I'm going to go with music. I'll make a list of some of my favourite bands that I recommend checking out.

1. Sundowner - Acoustic punk

So this is actually just one guy I'm talking about. His name is Chris McCaughan and he plays in a couple bands I like, one of which I'll mention a bit later. If you're not into punk, you might still like him. I find he's a really good poet and he's just good at writing songs. Personally I like his voice although I guess some other people might not like it so much. Give it a listen if you're in the mood for some soft(ish) acoustic with, what I think are, pretty good lyrics.

Song: This War Is Noise

2. Alkaline Trio - Rock/Punk

I don't think Alkaline Trio sounds terribly punk myself, but others do I guess. Whatever, punk is such a vague genre. Anyways, Alkaline Trio...how do I describe them? They've got two singers, one of which plays in another band I'll probably end up mentioning (a fair amount of my favourite bands share band members). I guess you could call their lyrics poetic.

Song: Mercy Me
Song: Love Love, Kiss Kiss

3. The Lawrence Arms - Punk

The Lawrence Arms are probably my favourite band. They aren't all that talented, but they're just fucking great. Chris McCaughan, from Sundowner, is the guitarist and does about half the vocals for the Lawrence Arms. The other vocalist, and bassist, is Brendan Kelly. The two of them sort of split the song writing duties and each have their own style. Chris's songs are a bit more poetic than Brendan's but both are very good in my opinion. I'll recommend a song by both.

Song - Chris: Faintly Falling Ashes
Song - Brendan: The Devil's Takin' Names

4. The Falcon - Punk

This band is connected to both the Lawrence Arms and Alkaline Trio. It's also kinda connected to Rise Against (They're all Chicago punk bands). They guitarist for the Falcon is Brendan Kelly, the bassisst for the Lawrence Arms. The drummer also plays in the Lawrence Arms. The bassist is Alkaline Trio's bassist. Their other guitarist used to be a guy who played in Rise Against, but he quit. I don't know who they have now. Anyways, they're similar to the Lawrence Arms obviously, so if you like them you'll like The Falcon. All the songs are sung by Brendan though. You might consider that a good thing or a bad thing.

Song: Unicorn Odyssey

5. The Flatliners - Punk/Reggae

I don't have a ton to say about the Flatliners. Are think they're pretty good, obviously. They're from the area, so yay for localish bands. Anyways, give em' a listen. They'll grow on you.

Song: Fred's Got Slacks

6. Flight of the the Conchords - Comedy

This isn't for everyone. Flight of the Conchords is two guys from New Zealand who have their own TV show but it's on HBO. They're freakin' hilarious in my opinion. I didn't like them at first but I grew to love them. They do a good job of doing all different genres. So keep an open mind and maybe try a few of their videos. They've got a TON on youtube from their TV show.

Song: Think About It

7. The Gaslight Anthem - Soul/Punk/Blues

I guarantee you this band's going to get a lot bigger one day. They're pretty new, I think they've only been around a couple years. They have a really good singer and some great music. My only complaint is that a lot of their songs REALLY sound the same, but at least it all sounds good.

Song: The 59' Sound

I was going to do more bands, but it's coming up to 2 a.m. so it might finally be time to say goodbye to Tuesday. Perhaps I'll add to the list another day.

G'night Y'all!
