Ten days after the election, the world hasn’t ended yet. Maybe this is a good sign.

my socks don’t fit: “‘It’s time for a real Patriot Act that brings out the patriot in all of us. We propose universal civilian service for every young American. Under this plan, All Americans between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five will be asked to serve their country by going through three months of basic training, civil defense preparation and community service… Young people will know that between the ages of eighteen and twenty-five, the nation will enlist them for three months of civilian service. They’ll be asked to report for three months of basic civil defense training in their state’

As we’re all waiting anxiously on the results on the election, here are some articles I picked up recently. Some are a bit old, but they’re still good.

Tonight is the big night. The American Election. This is what it all comes down to. Polling stations are closed in the eastern half of the United States. I’m not a fan of either candidate, but I’m scared at the possibility of McCain winning.

America, you better not have fucked this up.

BrightKite

I signed up for a new social networking site today. It’s called brightkite. It’s actually a really interesting concept. It’s a mobile network, meaning it’s used most by cell phones. You don’t need any special phone (although I’m sure having an iPhone doesn’t hurt), all you need to do is send it a message with where you are and what you’re doing. The site links people together based on where they are, who else is there, who else has been there, etc. There’s been a rise in location-aware sites such as these, as far as I can see. Twinkle, my Twitter app for the iPhone of my choice, is half Twitter client, half networking people within your area together. I’ve met some people around my house. It’s pretty cool, because I’ve never really thought about anyone else here. When I’ve thought of my neighbourhood, I just see where I live, where my friends live. The houses along the way aren’t important, they’re just in the way between here and say, Luke’s house.

But they’re full of people, and some of those people could be exactly like me. There’s a bunch of people I’ve never had the chance to meet. Who knows what I’m missing?

However, there’s one downside, at least for brightkite so far.

I am alone in the area.

Help me popular it. I’m Impossibilium. If anyone wants an invite, I have three. Just ask me. Email, IM, whatever. I’m lonely. =[

Sorry, Mississauga, but just because you painted your website green doesn’t actually mean you’re “green” or “environmentally friendly” now.

Of course, I haven’t even read their page, just that the green is really ugly and that you should go back to the blue you had before


Motivation negative

I now have a suitable way to blog when I’m on class. I’m sitting in math right now, and I just can’t motivate myself to work. Not on math, of course. Who does that. No, I need to work on by multiple presentations that are supposed to occur today. History and english. I was at the library last night with my partner for history, Preeti, and we figured out what we’re going to do doing for history. It’s a seminar on Adam Smith. Smith is interesting, but not enough to make me want to work.

One thing that really surprises me about the iPhone’s keyboard is that I can absolutely slaughter the spelling of a word, ansbir can more times than not fix what I was trying to say. My biggest problem with it is that I keep missing the space bar, which leads to long string of random characters on the screen.

Oh, by the way, I got an iPhone.


sleep won’t come

Fucking hell. I can’t sleep again. Its late and I’m tired and I just want to sleep because I know I have to wake up in 6 hours to go to school. I don’t know why I can’t sleep. I couldnt last night either, and now I can’t tonight either. There’s a lot less pain tonight than there was yesterday. There is still some, but I can walk and breathe again. I hate npt being able to sleep. It’s the worst feeling in the world. Like, what am I supposed to do now? Everyone is asleep. I guess the only thing is you, wasting time away before I finally collapse. I hope it is soon.

Sunday

It’s officially Sunday. It’s 12:01 as we speak. I’ve been counting down the minutes since around 11. I feel less than perfect. In fact, I feel a whole lot less than perfect. My body is not responding to me. It is aching, and rebelling against my word. My word is God. My body would be nothing without me. All it is is a complex organism made up of cells that don’t know the purpose of any other cell within it. Each one is independent, living, dying, existing only within its own niche within my body. It is nothing without me. I am nothing without it. Neither of us can exist without the other.

Would God exist if there were no humans to dream about him?

I had been lying in bed since about 11, counting down the time before the next day begins. I hurt all over. It started with a stomach pain which prevented me from breathing when standing or sitting straight up. Only when I am bent over. It spread over the night to my arms and legs. Not acute pain, just pain. Dull pain. But even dull pain is a pain. They don’t hurt until I need them. They don’t hurt until I send my messages to them, flipping the switch from rest to movement, from off to on. Then they ache. Then they complain.

I think I might be getting the flu.

YouTube - We’re in a lot of trouble!! See and think for yourselves: “”

Now when you find a video like this, with a title like that, it makes you think it’s a funny video. This is by no means funny, or hilarious. This is true. Watch it, please. The important part starts at 0:44, if you want to start there.


China will be a democracy by 2020, says senior party figure - Telegraph

China will be a democracy by 2020, says senior party figure - Telegraph: “Zhou Tianyong, an adviser to the Communist Party’s Central Committee and one of its most liberal voices, told the Daily Telegraph that ‘by 2020, China will basically finish its political and institutional reforms’.
He added: ‘We have a 12-year plan to establish a democratic platform. There will be public democratic involvement at all government levels.’”

This smells. Democracy is not given by the government to the people. Democracy is taken by the people from the government.


Obituary

Filed Under: book, school by Nick Savage with 1 Comment

I am an accomplice in a murder. The act is an ongoing process, over maybe three or four weeks. It will be torture, for the victim and for me, because I am powerless to stop it, even though I know I can’t be part of it, I have to.

We are murdering A Handmaid’s Tale in English class.

It is supposed to be a book I will love. I know that after this is over, I will despise every word printed in that book, and that I can’t change that fact.
