playing for change

music, an omnipresent part of the world. it signifies joy and sorrow, it is used to entertain and sooth…and it’s been used to unite. mark johnson started his journey to find ‘peace through music’ and his journey can be followed at the playing for change website. in the meantime, enjoy the following video, and then pass it on

keep bc ‘strong’…

Posted by  on 13 May 2009, 9:54 am
question is, for whom? the ones that steal from the population, the ones that already have the funds and thus acquire more…or the common folk? so, given it’s the 13th of the month…might as well start with some ‘good’ news…the liberals seem to have gotten what they’ve asked for…a 3rd consecutive majority government and a fail attempt at changing the voting system…given the stv (the sorry toothless voting system) didn’t pass. so, what does this mean? it’s quite simple…another run of 4 years lead by a drunk driver…

overall i have to get used to paying higher tuition fees, eventually get some convicts as neighbors, pay more and more for gasoline to fund the ‘neutral’ carbon tax, have to put up with building from scratch instead of expanding the current structure (i really wonder who will building the new bridge…and what their connection is to our drunken premier), and so on. quite useless to continue, given that by popular vote the liberals did get 46% of the total votes…which translated into 49 seats in the government. so, why should they care? well, the ones who stand to suffer either can’t vote or won’t vote given they gave up hope…yup, i am talking about the ones who work for the minimum wage (keep in mind we have the lowest minimum wage in the country)…so, keep be ‘strong’…question is from who’s perspective?

fireworks over vancouver

Posted by  on 11 March 2009, 8:27 pm
and just when you thought that after 18 years the fireworks lighting up the summer skies over downtown vancouver were about to come to an end…the update came in today (march 11). due to financial issues it was announced that the annual firework show (hsbc celebration of light) will be canceled for 2009, however it has found its much needed sponsors. the shortage…a mere $400,000. thus…this year…there will be fireworks!
