subheaded musings
MMP
It shoud have gone through. The 36% of voting Canadians who bothered to inform ourselves are really fucking pissed. It's because there are too many old people, and we don't have a clear grip on what's going on in government anyway. There should be a parliamentary newspaper, really.
Student diets
In my house, there are two vegetarians and three "normal people." We normal people eat a relatively nutritious and varied diet. I'm usually hanging around the first floor when everyone goes for dinner, and I have yet to see either vegetarian prepare a vegetable from scratch. Not a single one. In fact, one of them eats out every other day, and the other one has eaten every day from a varied spectrum of two dinners: a can of soup and a giant heap of instant rice, or "veggie burgers" and hash browns thrown in a toaster oven.
Cigarettes
I was thinking about what makes cigarettes look cool. It's not a myth, they actually do. They just don't smell that great. I think it's a combination of two things. Fire as an accessory, and mouth decoration. What's more awesome than decorating yourself with fire? I don't know either. As for the mouth decoration, a cigarette looks cool for the same reason a lip ring does. (That's ONE lip ring, not a full Slinky.) The badass with the toothpick? The pigtailed bubblegum princess with the lollipop? The sexy cowboy who haunts your daydreams with a stem of grass in his teeth, a manly, Clint Eastwood squint and three days' stubble on his chin? You catch my drift. Decorating your mouth is just COOL.
Aboriginal issues
It bothers me how all the Guelph candidates dismissed Aboriginal issues as something that they would "deal with immediately" or some similar nonsense. The Commie was the only one who really acknowledged the problem. The only way I know what little I know is through classes, I don't know much. But I know it's fucking bad. Basically if you're Native in Canada you have to white up or die and have a golf course built on top of you. Compare that to the cultural landscape of our beloved Toronto, where some people may speak not a word of French or English and get along just fine.
John Mayer
I still hate that soft-voiced pussy.
"Subversive"
I swear to God, I hear this word every freaking day and I hate it. Subversive isn't subversive anymore. The stuff that used to be edgy is no longer edgy. In any case, I've heard all about black people and lesbians, and I'm tired of them. I wish we'd talk about something else in English class. They haven't even made the next logical leap to other colours of people, or to gay men and transexuals. Always with the black people and lesbians. WHY?
And that's all for today.
