The Green Party

http://www.greenparty.ca/

So yeah, I am going to go with my friend Skye to this Green Party thing. I have no idea what the Green Party are, or where they stand. Not only that but I am expected to do a news article on them. This does suck. So where do I begin.

My first thoughts on the Green Party are:
Are you the Marijuana Party? (must be my age group but I kinda think anything green has to do with marijuana)
People actually support the Green Party?
Mike Harris is a Green Party member? (Although after the intial shock, my friend Adam explained there was another Mike Harris. My next question was if he was a pot head. Nope, he is a big businessman.)
What exactly is the point of a Green Party in Canada?

The first time I met the green Party was way back in 2003. And even then I thought they were a bunch of fools from one of the intros of shakespeare's plays.

I could win a contest if I create a design! wow a solar powered radio!!!! oh wait, I don't want that. Are they all just hippies or something?

so basically the Green Parties platform is as follows:

Restoring democracy in Canada by implementing a proportional representation voting system.

Making wise investments for better health, better education and clean energy.

Ending subsidies that result in more pollution and increased health risks.

Creating "green collar" jobs for Canadians.

Opposing an Anti-Ballistic Missile Defense system on Canadian soil.

The first platform objective: I dunno, I kinda like how the Liberals can stronghold themselves into office most of the time. The system has worked for the longest time, why change it now?

The second platform objective: uhmm what exactly constitutes "Wise Investments"

The third platform: Huh?

The fourth platform: What the heck are green collar jobs?!?!?!

The fifth platform: I doubt we would see that happen in Canada. We are already too much oppose to that, and the Liberals will make sure it doesn't happen.

So basically I think the Green Party is:

A bunch of tree hugging, pot or hash toking, save the earth hippies. I understand somewhat why they are not that popular in Canada, perhaps they would be better suited for the Netherlands... or maybe Russia (if they ever get over their Marxist dreams). Sure they are growing up as a party, sure they are more known today. But I really do not see them going toe to toe with the Conservatives or Liberals. They can't even compete with the NDP! Sure I believe in nature and the environment, but perhaps they should impose a new platform that is more feasibly attainable.

Or is that my two cents?

Million Dollar Baby

Yeah I know it’s an old movie, and I know it has probably been talked to death about. But this is my fascist world, and you will listen to me! Or just click back or the home button.


Anyways, I have been thinking a lot about this movie lately. And not because it was a movie I watched last week. What really is a drama now days and why do people get so hesitant in watching it. I know this summer my mother had the chance to watch this movie, but she outright refused to watch it. Why? The critics raved how good it was, and it won FOUR academy awards (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Supporting Actor). Not only does it have that but Clint Eastwood and Morgan Freeman star in it.  The shooting, the film techniques, the lighting and the storyline is perfect. Not are, but is! It is a wonderful story of struggle, but my mother never admitted why she would not watch it. All she would say was, "I refuse to watch that movie". How can you refuse something you don't know anything about? Meh, her loss I guess.

I have noticed dramas have changed in the past few years. I even have becoming willing to openly admit I like dramas. No more will I hide behind the mask of being the action flick buff, but I too can still be a man as I wear my fancy 'I love Drama Movies!' t-shirt.

The ending of the movie was what really got me thinking, and just the fact on the moral implications behind it. Was it right? Was it wrong? It depends who you really ask I guess. What do I think personally? I would support Dunn's decision when it comes to Maggie's life. I am no religious man, nor even close to being a man who actually believes in god. So morally, my decisions would be based on a different spectrum than what Dunn's was based on. But in doing what he did, he ended up dying inside. This is honestly sad. He disappears into the world to never be heard from again. But what I think is perfect contrast to this is the 'special needs' man who comes back to the boxing arena. "No one wins them all".

My first blog here

So, as I said to myself, you should get yourself another blog. Why? I asked myself. Well why not? You have over 5, which I might add you do not even bother looking at most of the time. True, I responded to myself, but why not?

Why not is the common word in my life, but my life is often confused and jaded. But not in any wrong way. First let me start off by saying if you are reading this then I feel really bad for you. Actually I feel really bad for anyone forced to read my dribble and rabble.

so basically who I am is an E-Journalism student at Loyalist College in Belleville Canada. You can regularly see me at livejournal, and thepioneer.com. But, I am a jerk, so you really do not want to.

My life? Well basically I am happy, emotionally and phsyically. Although who cares, lol.

I am 25, single and without children. But, I hope oneday to have children. At this rate my 12 year old little brother will be a father before I am. The only women who sleep in my bed are friends who just want to be friends and nothing else :P my luck eh. But I will behave! But, I must admit I really enjoy the company. I just hope though is only women friends share a bed with me; I once had to split my bed with my best friend Marzden for several months. We won't go there right now. NOT SEXUALLY!

I have many different things in my life I can easily talk about, but will I? It depends. I am not really a journalist; I play one on TV. The show is called, "My Life". I have a number of people I dislike; I have a number of people I like, and I have a number of people i cherish as good friends.

Ok shutting up now, and if you have read this far i commend you. My grammar sucks, and my spelling sucks. This is why I am a horrible journalist.

Talk to you all later.... or rather me impose my facist ways on you later!
