In our hearts we are wandering gypsies
In our minds we are heirs to the jewels
To the poor we are swaddled in riches
To the rich we ain’t nothing but poor

We don’t know what became of our fortune
It could rescue or end other lives
We are gathering speed through this tunnel
To go down where the truth meets the lie
-Mark Heard

We are the bastard children of liars and charlatans and so do not render them faults, merely the basic aspects of our understanding of things.

This will be our legacy – the knowledge that we inhabited a burning building, and although we knew it just and right to risk ourselves to save it, chose instead to listen to those that claimed it wasn’t on fire at all, but simply a figment of our imaginations.

With the provincial election fast approaching, I thought I would try to stimulate a little discussion concerning the new voting system that is being proposed, and for which you will have to vote either for or against.

If you have no idea what I’m talking about, first of all turn off the season premier of Grey’s Anatomy, then head on over to Your Big Decision [http://www.yourbigdecision.ca/] and do a little reading.

Be sure to come back here and voice your opinion on the subject to get everyone thinking!

Since people generally prefer someone else to get the ball rolling I’ll start:

Vote MMP. The benefits are clear, though if nothing else, it is a small change in a big system, which is an opportunity to begin a movement towards greater positive change.
And if you don’t like the results, well you can always arrange to have another referendum.

Thoughts?!

For all those who love things like live music, socializing, and combining the two at night at the end of the week, be sure to come out to the New Heart & Crown on Preston Street this Friday & Saturday nights for My Pet Monster’s first show (with me) in 4 months!

Check out the shows section for all the latest gigs!

See you Friday (and/or Saturday)!!!

2. Milkshake, by briefly popular artist, Kelis:

My whipped ice dairy drink brings the attention of many males to my place of residence and/or employment, and they declare that its quality far surpasses that of yours. Absolutely, it far surpasses yours. I could convey to you the recipe, but i would have to demand compensation.

…and this is why I have yet to find great success in the music industry.
