2008-01-07 12:38:00 Jamaica is known around the world for two reasons: beaches, oceans, sunsets, the whole vacation honeymoon bullshit, and marijuana. Bob Marley, Rastafarians, Babylon, passing the Dutchie, reggae, dreadlocks, all staples of Jamaican culture. Of course this reputation had nothing to do with my parents choosing this vacation destination, but it was inevitable that it would ... More About: Part
Jamie Spears Pregnant and Price is Right connection?
2007-12-27 10:08:00 I guess the only question that remains is ‘Did her parents ever watch the Price is right?’ Bob Barker always had a important adage at the end of ever show ‘Help control the pet population; have your pet spayed or neutered.’ Britney Spears is a great role model for all of the worlds preteens, look ...

2007-12-21 06:54:00 Everyone went to the show but me; I wasn?t feeling right, so I said good night and headed to my room. Opening the door and walking to the bed I lied down, eyes open, staring at the ceiling. There?s one light on, just enough so that I won?t fall asleep. I spent the rest of ... More About: Post

2007-12-20 06:52:00 After showering and getting dressed, I jumped onto my bed and relaxed for awhile, waiting for a knock at the door. I continued to listen to the single Dallas Green song on Max?s Mp3 player, over and over. There was a knock at the door, Max answered. It was dad; he said he was headed ... More About: Post

2007-12-19 06:50:00 After going through customs, we pile onto a bus. We always go to resorts; it?s the easiest way to travel, but prevents any authentic experience from happening; resorts are always the same. The bus ride takes well over two hours, not because the resort is far away, but because we’re the last group to get ... More About: Post

2007-12-18 06:51:00 Airports are always an interesting place, an experience like no other, people coming and going, greeting and saying good bye; emotions always fly at airports. It’s 6:30 am; dad always adds urgency to situations like these, people move quicker when they don’t have time. This group always takes its time, especially when there is a rush. I’m surprised to see so many people lined up waiting to catch planes so early on a Saturday morning. Everyone has somewhere to go and it’s spring break; loads of students head to vacation spots. We go through the checking in process; our bags are thrown on a conveyer belt and we head to the terminal to wait. You’re expected to check in early, so you can sit around aimlessly waiting to board the plane. For most of this time I listen to my IPod, everyone has one; it’s an interesting social trend. Makes me wonder, are they actually good or do people just buy them because they’re trendy? After more than hour we board the plane and I grab ... More About: Post

2007-12-17 06:44:00 Before, Before One of the benefits of my father being rich was that he took Max and me on trips over spring break. If not for him, I wouldn’t have ever gone on a trip, even to this day. This year’s destination was Jamaica, a country notorious for Rastafarians and marijuana. We headed to the airport the night before our early morning flight, so that we wouldn’t have to get up at 3 am. Settling in, we had dinner and headed to bed for an early night. The phone rang in my ear; rolling over and looking at the clock, it’s 5 am. What an early morning, answering the phone; my brother will sleep through anything. I say, “Hello”, it’s dad. “Get out bed and wake your brother up! The plane leaves in an hour.” Hanging up, I tell Max to get up; we always share a room. This is how it works, boys in a room, girls in another. It was convenient; I always had lots of space and a place to be by myself if I needed it. We, the family, headed to the re... More About: Post

2007-12-14 06:55:00 While on the topic, I mentioned Ayn Rand and ‘The virtue of selfishness.’ “It’s one of my favourite books!” She’s also a fan and asks what I think of egoism. “I like it, but it doesn’t match up with my other views on life.” She didn’t think this matter and it worked for her. ...

2007-12-13 06:47:00 I asked, “Have you ever smoked marijuana? She said “No! Never will either, it’s bad!” I asked why and she said, “Because it’s against the law.” An interesting point, maybe that’s the only reason why herb is bad, a better question would have been, ‘why is marijuana against the law?’ Once we ask that ...

Never will either, it’s bad!” I asked why and she said, “Because it’s against the law.” An interesting point, maybe that’s the only reason why herb is bad, a better question would have been, ‘why is marijuana against the law?’ Once we ask that question we will discover there are a lot of reasons why it’s against the law, however most are based on false premises and faulty assumptions. I argued with her for a while about the topic, trying to convince her otherwise, but it didn’t work. She was against it because of the law and that would never change. The jeans came up in our conversation again, I said “I like the jeans, but would never buy them. They cost too much, but my dad bought these ones for me.” I told her about my father, at the time we didn’t talk much, I didn’t like him either. He was obsessed with possessing things and tho...

To get home I’d take the bus from downtown to the City, and then the Go-train would take me to my home town. It was Canada Day weekend ... More About: Post

2007-12-06 07:03:00 Throughout the conversation I listened closely to what my father had to say; he had lots of advice: work hard, do your best, do what needs to be done, set goals, and don’t expect anything to be given to you on a silver platter. Expect to work hard to get what you want. He also ... More About: Post

Two hours was a long time, too much time I thought. It?s too bad that public transportation is slow and inconvenient. On the other hand it is ... More About: Post

2007-11-29 06:53:00 PlayStation 3 had recently come out, it was top of the line, the best game console available; it was extremely powerful and the graphics were superb.

2007-11-28 06:51:00 I was onto the trick; I realized that happiness came from inside, that?s what existentialism had taught me. I was responsible for myself; this meant that I had to make myself happy. I had to find happiness inside because that?s where it is. These ideas may not have actually come from existentialism, but they were ... More About: Post

I had also realized that happiness came from inside, but understood that in order to live, I needed to focus on physical goals and satisfaction. All animals need at ...
