the best day of the year

today is the best day of the year. it's my mom's birthday. it's my country's birthday. it means buses getting pulled over by the police. it means riot police and helicopters. it means pitcher after pitcher of beer. chicken wings. it means winning bingo. it means beer garden.

it means a lot.

i love canada. i know i could travel the entire earth and i'd come back to british columbia. we really take it for granted- cause we're greedy.

truck is back. drove around all last night until about 4am this morning. it was good times. jeff got really drunk off fireball and was being kinda funny. met up with all my friends which was nice and we went to island view beach. the stars were out to impress last night. so many of them, it's amazing. shooting stars are the reason i love the summer. then the moon rose from behind some mountains into the sky and it was pretty sweet. camp fire and all.

then the cops came.

tonight however will be the most spectacular night of the year. i will breathe the air of canada through my canadian lungs, close my eyes and listen to the people i live with. and get hammered, go home with that cheerleader that follows me around everywhere and wake up not to remember any of it. happy canada day my sexy canadians.

questionable

could we start with the mayonaise on the blue plate and then close with a quote. thanks.

foul ingredients mix together to create the tangy dip. a spoonful sits on the edge of a blue plate as a song i've never heard plays behind the two. like a movie, the angle of vision cuts to an insightful diagram. upon it's display, waves crash along the quiet west coast of vancouver island. the trees along the beach stretch their branches east with the aid of the pacific's wind. the sand remains still.

"Yesterday while in Victoria, my headphones caught on the chair in the movie theater, and some how the wires managed to get pulled out of the cord, and now they don't work. This sucks because I just got these headphones not even a month ago, and now they're ruined. I hate how shitty headphones are, and how quickly I go through them."

no doubt.

reggie is...

lost my mind today. wasn't as bad as people make it out to be. lost it, found it, smashed it, faxed it to my boss, he forwarded it to his distribution list, they faxed it back attn: asshole get a grip, found it again, stuck it in a purolator bag, shipped it to vancouver.

i heard some guy on burrard st in vancouver works as one of those guys that pass out newspapers to people. he's right by the skytrain. burrard station, yeah that's the one. anyways, we don't really have these newspaper flogger folk here on the island because well, i don't know but they do quite a job. the rejection this guy faces is unbelieveable. i dunno, just heard about him... then met him one time, he gave me directions to west pender st.

i took one of his newspapers just to be nice. i'm sure they have quotas or even daily goals they have to meet, so i tried to help.

didn't read it though.

mr. banker mc im an ass shoot me

hey banker,

why do you look at me like i'm a piece of shit when i sit in your office? i was just wondering, that's all. customer service can be hard at times depending on your customer. i thought i was pretty honest and friendly though. so why do you look at me like i'm a dick when i sit in your office? is it because you make more money than me right now? could it be that you're jealous that you won't be fairly soon? i don't know why that's why i'm asking mr. banker.

when i sat down maybe i smelt bad and that set the mood sour. or maybe it was because i'm white and we're all liars. is that what pissed you off about me? maybe my tie wasn't shiney enough for your liking or was it my hair? since i just ate, maybe i needed some gum. when i sat down in your office was it my breath that pissed you off? i don't know why that's why i'm asking mr. banker.

what made you loosen up by the end of our converstation? the very fact that it was the end of the conversation would be the obvious. was it because i tried to lighten the mood with small talk? maybe you liked my small talk. or maybe you were too small for my small talk and you, the intimidator became the intimidated. was that it? or was it because you maybe were a little harsh. what was it? i don't know what, that's why i'm asking mr. banker.

do you wish that sometimes you could be one of those bankers in the old western movies. just classic. is that why your suit was old and shitty. do you wish that sometimes you could go back and maybe do a couple things over again. change your carreer? now it's too late and when kids come in you take it out on them so they don't want to be that dickhead banker they knew.

if that's the case, then yeah i don't want to be that dickhead banker i know. i look forward to our meeting tomorrow afternoon mr. banker mc im an ass shoot me.

cheers,

reggie miller.

don't read this

sometimes i get jealous of other peoples blogs. when they come up with sweet ideas and i feel like i'm melting in a desert. a growing desert. a growing desert that i try to write about to raise awareness of where i'm melting and how we're all going to melt soon. yeah we read that kind of crap here and there and then shit it out again only to be read all over by another social activist. whatever right.

yeah, exactly... whatever.

and other times i feel like that pink bitch from that movie clueless. the one with the rich daddy and the sweet car but she just doesn't have a clue. thus clueless. thus me with a lot of things... like how i hate to bring it up, but truck-loads of women ask me why i don't have a girlfriend. and i say i don't know, and they tell me that they just don't understand it. and i don't understand what they don't understand. right? like if they're saying all this great stuff about me and how they worship me and love my mind and how i think then why don't they just cut the crap and ask me out...

maybe they're shy. maybe they know that if they asked me out i'd say no because i'm still telling myself that i'm going to call this one girl with hopes something will kick off but deep down i know it's just the friendship that i'd value. it's cause i'm a guy. guy's just want sex. when a guy says that there's things more important than meaningless sex with a pink cheerleader clueless ditz, they're wrong.

so am i wrong? if this was a test, would i fail? maybe the real answer to the truck-loads of girls' misunderstanding is that i'm simply wrong. instinct tells me to be a dickhead sometimes. should i stop surpressing it and just be a dumbass that has meaningless sex with whores? that'll land me love for sure.

thumbs up to the way things work these days.

indie rock whatever-it's-called tribute

i drive a truck. well i'd like to be driving it but it's broken. since i don't know how to fix trucks, i pay someone else to. although, i don't buy trust, i buy risk. i buy what other people tell me to buy. i buy their word.

from what i know, a clutch is something related to the transmission that allows gears on a standard transmission vehicle to shift between themselves at your control. without a clutch, your vehicle goes no where. unless it's stuck in a certain gear but then you're screwed anyways. 'cause when you're trying to go down the highway and you're stuck in first gear you're gonna do more damage than you had in the first place.

anyways, enough of that. the mechanic let me know that my clutch was wrecked and that it would cost about 1300 dollars said and done. i also had a broken windshield and that would be another 350 dollars. okay, so this is getting pricey, although i did buy the truck last january for a decent price so i see it as breaking even.

friday i'm told that the entire transmission is pretty much destroyed and needs to be replaced. well shit i said. how much is that gonna be i'm thinking. an additional, yes additional 2000 dollars. fuck. i sure wasn't planning on that.

so as shitty as it is, there are still a bunch of bands out there that are taking over the pop-queen bitches on the music charts and really killing it. and the truth is, i can't wait to drive and listen to these bands. so whatever, if money was energy, it'd be renewable because it always comes back.

pain

my throat fucking kills.

edit: this is where a picture of my throat would go if i had a camera. cheers.

busy bee

work has been busy the last couple of days. back and forth from upisland to vancouver back to victoria and vice versa. good times though. i enjoy vancouver, you can really feel the community there. even more so than victoria believe it or not.

a lot of chinese though. statistics canada estimates that by 2017, the majority of vancouver and the lower mainland will be chinese. not a big deal, just something to think about.

let me tell you all right now, metrotown in burnaby is the jackpot for women. business headquarters happens to be in the burnaby towers, which happens to be connected to metrotown. had a pretty good lunch to say the least. grilled panni sandwhich with my choice of two different salads.. i had some crab and california veggie salads all for 6.99. i thought it was pretty decent.

until of course a crack-hoe ruined my appetite. she thought i put hot sauce in her food and tried to spit shit all over me. now lets not forget that i'm not only in a suit but trying to eat this sweet lunch as well.

"first time i eat in threeeeee days and you put HOT SAUCE in my FOOD!? i should spit it all over you!!!"

umm, right. i got up and moved to another table and kind of got a couple looks from people like "yeah, good call... what a crazy." i guess it's not her fault though... crack tends to ruin lives.

caught the seven pm ferry back to my island. lots of lovely women aboard the newly renovated ferry, which i might add is very impressive. the ferry, well the women too. i love bc because the women here are natural. they love what i love and i love them for that.

by the way i sold my camera phone to a friend and that's what i took pictures with, so until i get a new camera phone, or camera please don't mind the lack of image on the blog. althought i will try to add a random picture from time to time. thanks.

cents

dilemma.

a quarter slides into the metal slot of a payphone. she hears the currency hit the pit, forever hidden from society. shit, it was one of those special collector quarters though. i think it was one with an aboriginal design on it. from inuit or something... she was pissed off to say the least. reasoning behind why she wanted to place a call was old news now.

i made sure she knew that i'd buy her a new aboriginal quarter someday. she asked me if i was a special deal. i didn't really understand. a limited time offer she explained.

good question.

grey haze as dark blue

the pulse of life beats deeper as fatigue is slowly defeated before it's peers. atop a cliff side, one shy young boy has set up camp. smoldering ashes flicker to grey haze as a dark blue dusk drops over the valley below. the boy shivers to himself.

According to Einstein, space-time can curve back on itself, theoretically allowing travellers to double back and meet younger versions of themselves.

And now a team of physicists from the US and Austria says this situation can only be the case if there are physical constraints acting to protect the present from changes in the past.

...a very interesting article from bbc news. try a read.

i often wonder if science fiction-like inventions will happen in my life time such as time travel or teleportation. i wonder if humans will find life on another planet or if robots will do our laundry. will we become efficent super beings hand-in-hand with technology. it seems we lean that way these days.

will people be free? you want to talk science fiction, how 'bout freedom. will everyone enjoy freedom in my life time?

the sad part, is i'm pretty sure they won't.

headline: phil mcneary

blogging sensation, phil mcneary, has big things happening these days. after the recent announcement of his novel, gemini eyes, a clothing line has launched on cafepress.com. pgwear features anything from great baseball jerseys to hot thongs for the girls out there. with the slogan, 'where fashion and love go hand-in-hand,' you know the products are coming from a down-to-earth guy. i've got a lot of respect for mcneary's emotion in his writing, prospects, and everything else he does.

lohan

lindsay lohan and i rode around town in a limo. she got mad at me in the club because i wasn't really giving her all the attention she deserved. p.diddy met up with us and was all up on my girl and i didn't really have that much say about the whole thing. you know, cause has money and that's power these days. but lindsay shut him down and kissed me infront of all her celeberty buddies.

i felt famous.

world day to combat Desertifcation

planet earth

sit down for this one. today is world day to combat desertifcation. eleven years ago the u.n. signed an agreement to combat the world's growing deserts. that's a good thing. the problem really lies in our misunderstanding of what's actually going on.

"Zafar Adeel of the United Nations University International Network on Water, Environment and Health, an expert on water management and a leading author of the report, warned that more needed to be done to combat desertification.

"Desertification has emerged as a global problem affecting everyone," said Adeel. "There are serious gaps in our understanding of how big deserts are, and how they are growing."

over fourty percent of the earth's land mass is currently desert and that number is growing. these areas are home to two billion people or one third of our population. what's happening is that global warming is throwing everything out of control already. droughts and heat waves are increasing everywhere but are concentrated in these arid areas. which brings the term desertification. the deserts are slowly growing because plant life can't sustain itself in unnatural ecosystems.

"Adeel warned that some of the world's poorest populations were likely to be among the worst affected, with large swathes of Central Asia and the areas to the north and south of the Sahara in danger of becoming unsuitable for farming.

"Without strong efforts to reverse desertification, some of the gains we've seen in development in these regions may be reversed," he said."

now the dust from these large sandy masses is becoming an immidiate problem as well. recognized as a serious health concern, sand clouds are expected to move via the atlantic air stream from western africa over to the east coast of north america in the coming years. this dust is the reason that infant mortality rates double in arid nations.

our species needs clean air to live. there's no way around it. our lungs take in oxygen and mix it with carbon dioxide from our blood thus we breath. if our lungs are taking in dust, it's no different then sticking your mouth to the disgusting exaust of your car.

"...the problem causes dangerous changes to the environment on a global scale, the report warned, with dust storms in the Gobi and Sahara deserts blamed for respiratory problems in North America and damage to coral reefs in the Caribbean. Scientists estimate that a billion tons of dust from the Sahara are lifted into the atmosphere each year.

...

The first Millennium Ecosystem Assessment report, released in March, warned that approximately 60 percent of the ecosystem supporting life on Earth was being degraded or used unsustainably and that the consequences of degradation could grow significantly worse in the next half century."

but who cares. lets get laid by a model in a H2 stretch limo that has an on-board oil refinery and smoke stacks out the ass. fuck this world for what it's worth. farming for food? no, we don't need that, we've got mcdonalds. dust in the air? gimme a break, sounds like a conspiracy to me. i bet you didn't even read that either.

planet earth when we've had our turn

fathers day eve

happy fathers day eve. will a day come when fathers day changes its meaning to me. where i'm on the other end of it. doubt it. because all the women in this town are filthy retards that sleep themselves around to get some self-satisfaction and they wake up the next morning thinking well add another one to the list.

and all i ask for is someone normal. you know, someone that can just hold a conversation.

not women that care about where i work or what i drive. who i'm friends with, and what bars i go to. that shit doesn't matter sorry. this girl askes me the other day, 'are you a manly man, you know the type that drive a big truck... i love those kinds of guys.' i straight up told the girl that i am who i am, don't put me in a catagory.

maybe i just need to settle down and take what's available. ditsy cheerleader, alright. drunk moron girl on a beach, sure. flithly trash, whatever.

my friends are awesome by the way. they're good guys. funny, sophesticated, spontainious...

slightly friday night

the clouds have been a real bitch lately. last week is was the wind, this week it's the clouds. now we've got earthquakes happening daily, tsunami alerts, and people being dicks about the whole thing. girls wanna kiss me when they're all shitfaced and it's like what the hell are you doing, i thought you hated me. and the most down to earth woman i've ever met is still the one i talk to least. so what's with that.

stench of the weekend ahead

tsunami ALERT

i'm alive. i woke up this morning expecting otherwise. last night at roughly seven am, the global news channel annouced that there was a tsunami warning in place for vancouver island. they advised viewers to get to high ground and implement their personal tsunami emergency plans.

twenty minutes later, they called it off.

twenty minutes of my mom freaking out running around the house gathering what she needed to start a new life. making her last calls as if she had moments to live. i admit, i was scared as well. this huge earthquake we're suppose to have here scares the shit right out of me. when i find myself in a new environment, i actually look around and quickly plan out where i'd hide if the quake hit. i'm not even going to get into it.

today was nothing. someone said something about it and i was all, 'oh ya! that quake thing...'

cbc reports a wonderful article about the whole thing, in which i quote:

"In Tofino on the west coast of Vancouver Island, photographer Jacqueline Windh says when people were told to leave their homes for the local school, there were tourists and residents who didn't know where to go.

"I think there should be sirens and some warning system where people know right away, and there should be information packets distributed to all the houses that say 'If you hear the tsunami siren, this is what you should do,'" she says."

by the way, i wish i could steal this idea but i'm not going to... but peter g is going to be doing blog interviews soon. i'm exploring some new ideas for this blog to keep it 'fresh' and 'hip' for you consumer beasts. yes, beasts.

who likes tofino enough to go there?

three steps and a quarter too much

as the delusion of some form of comfort begins to set in, routine flaunts its distinct mockery. the exchange of business card and electronic mail web together this rookie's network. weaves of litter and trash through-out our homes shun bright this morning. the chill was apparent as transportation reached it's reliability my way. three steps and a quarter too much.

morning brought it's expected gloom and monday melancholia as seconds spun longer than the usual. rubber arose peninsula's peak and a sandy beach changed the color of an isolated horizon. organization wasn't welcome among the ocean's circle as winds tossed the once tranquil waves around. thoughts shifted recent.

i spoke with a beachcomber beauty saturday night briefly over the phone. her rural voice spoke wisdom as a conscious flitatious half snuck around the corners of conversation. it wasn't typical nor spontainious- just natural. i didn't know where i was going.

history is made today. africa's 55 billion dollar debt has been forgived. hailed as a 'victory for millions.' guardian reports:

"In an interview to be broadcast today, Brown hinted at a deal on climate change centred on alternative sources of clean energy. He said a 'huge amount of private work' was being done by Blair and others and there would be 'important results'.

Yesterday's agreement will see 18 countries offered immediate debt forgiveness, with another nine expected to qualify over 18 months once they meet targets for good governance. Others, including Eritrea and Haiti, could qualify in the future. Debt relief allows countries to invest in their own health and education by freeing them from repayments to the West."

shrimpy mc it's sunday morning and i hate you with bacon

like the vibrant colours of vandelism across a still brick wall, the universe in it's ultimate entirity brought about the past. they say the stars hold the key to each one of our pasts because of their distance from us. i've never understood it. the sticky blue wax of a crayola danced across the page in a kindergarden classroom while a fight broke out over lunch break.

we called her shrimp girl. shrimpy mc leckblog? shimpy mc who gives a shit. i'd like to have a girlfriend.

what do you want

today started with a fresh cup of a french blend and a pop-up window. i don't really want to buy your shit but thanks. the ditsy cheerleader asked if i was talking to her. no, i wasn't. however, on that note i didn't buy her shit either. the makeup wanna-be bitch that she was.

reggie is in town tonight. he's been living on saltspring island for the last couple of weeks and has grown weary of the city of sidney. i try to explain to him that sidney is more of a town than a city but he doesn't listen. like always...

bastard.

when you take a picture of yourself,
and pretend you're not looking at the camera,
it makes you cool.
just thought i'd let you know.

purolator left a package at my door today. anthrax i assumed given the cards i've been dealt as of late. the cards that you get free with a bottle of bacardi rum. the ones that have all the little drink mixes on them. but they always forget to put vanilla rum which is the best. and you're all trying to play a drinking game enjoying some vanilla rum and everyone else is making these crazy drinks and you're all like, can someone pass me the vanilla coke. and people look at you like you're lame. never has happened. i'm sure it will though.

mmm...

cards.

listen to me for a second here people. terrorism isn't real. burning cd's is out of style. pretending to be involved with shit your not is lame. yup. and not going camping when you say you're a camping crackhead, the type that smokes a camping crack-rock out of a camping crack-pipe and afterwards is all, now im high, is pathetic.

cheers. enjoy your weekend.


edit: people died today that you don't know nor care about + our global temperature got worse.

5th in review

today in san fransisco, the mayors of the fifty largest cities across the globe signed several pacts aimed to create 'green cities.' the accords set cities on a path to cleaner, greener and more sustainable urban centers. these programs have set goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by twenty-five percent by 2030 and set the policy of zero waste going to landfills or incenerators by 2040. today is a good day for earth.

Reuters reports:

"They covered energy, waste reduction, urban design, urban nature, transportation, environmental health, and water improvement programs to be implemented by mayors and delegates from cities like Jakarta, London, Seattle, Rio de Janeiro, Lausanne, and Calcutta."

in madrid, spain today thousands marched through the city center holding the largest flag ever in their bid for the 2012 olympic games. spain has also pledged that the 2012 olympics will have a 'green' theme if set in madrid. their aim is to promote other forms of transportation such as biking or even walking to get from place to place during the games. forms of organic growth for food supply would also be used.

From Wired:

"All Olympic village food will be organically grown, as part of Spain's organic farming initiative. (Athletes, coaches, and officials will consume 90 tons of groceries a day, for a total of about $48 million in grub during the games.)"

is it just me or does anyone else feel we're going in the right direction now?

greener cities

established by the united nations general assembly in 1972, world environment day marks it's thirty fifth year today. this year's theme focused on greener cities and was split into five different sub-catagories:

• pure elements - food, water and air
  
  
• redesigning the metropolis - recylcing, green building and smart growth
  
  
• cities on the move - transportation
  
  
• urban power - energy, renewables and energy conservation
  
  
• flower power - open space, biodiversity and greening the urban environment

mayors from across the world met this week in san fransisco to discuss these topics and plan for a greener future city by city. san fransisco also held hundreds of independent gala events, film screenings and art shows such as 'art into action' to celebrate world environment day.

a handful of environmental enthusiasts, u.n. executives, and other authority figures spoke this year including the mayor of san fransisco gavin newsom, al gore, and 'the terminator of global warming,' arnold schwarzenegger:

"Today, California will be a leader in the fight against global warming," Schwarzenegger told an international audience of mayors and environmentalists at San Francisco City Hall. "I say the debate is over. We know the science, we see the threat and we know the time for action is now."

the primary message of this year's event is to raise awareness that our cities have become a problem rather than a benefit. with fertility rates pointing our human population in a direction that's unsustainable and temperatures rising like never before, global leaders must start to make changes city by city. the world we're passing down to our children isn't the same that was once passed down to us.

in accordence to world environment day, the united nations environmental programme released, "one planet many people,"an atlas outlining the comparasion of a world thirty years ago to the one today. through a series of satellite photos and case studies, the atlas shows the factual evidence that our planet has become industrialized and is on the path to devestation.

Klaus Toepfer, UNEP’s Executive Director, speaks on behalf of the atlas:

“People living in San Francisco or London may look at these images of deforestation or melting Arctic ice, and wonder what it has to do with them. That these changes are the result of other people’s lifestyles and consumption habits hundreds and thousands of kilometres away. But they would be wrong.”

“Cities pull in huge amounts of resources including water, food, timber, metals and people. They export large amounts of wastes including household and industrial wastes, wastewater and the gases linked with global warming. Thus their impacts stretch beyond their physical borders affecting countries, regions and the planet as a whole,” he added.

“So the battle for sustainable development, for delivering a more environmentally stable, just and healthier world, is going to be largely won and lost in our cities,” said Mr. Toepfer.

many are calling 2005 the year of reform. i personaly hope that world leaders as well as every individual that lives can recognize the serious problem before our race. however recognizing the issue is only the first step, it is vital for all of us to do a little something in each of our days to work towards this goal. whether it's turning the tap off when brushing your teeth to taking the bus to work, every small amount contributes to the goals now set in place.

this issue can either help our world build a stronger global relationship or ultimately mark our demise. please do your part today.

world environment day

tomorrow, saturday june the fifth two thousand and five marks world environment day. held in san fransisco california, this year's theme promotes greener cities. while coldplay plays their new record in my basement, we forget to care every year about the place we live.

saw a scene from the first matrix this afternoon that's quite relevent. agent whatever is explaining to morpheus why humans shouldn't actually be classified as mammals. he says that mammals adapt to their environments and live accordingly, while humans on the other hand are more like the virus. we infect and spread, creating waste of our resources. the only way to survive is to go somewhere else. hmm.

we really are infecting this planet when you think about it...

all the waste;
the pollution;
the toxins;

pretty harsh. more tomorrow

google: one planet, many people

have two or less kids.

forget about your palm trees.

and

don't live in a city.

"Cities pull in huge amounts of resources including water, food, timber, metals and people. They export huge amounts of wastes, including ... wastewater and the gases linked with global warming" said UNEP Executive Director Klaus Toepfer.

"Thus their impacts stretch beyond their physical borders affecting countries, regions and planets as a whole," he said.

do it for me.
