Actually it isn't true. I've tried writing a few entries, but I get about a paragraph into it before I say "fuck it" and erase the entire thing.
So, I'll just say Hello.

Yes, of course I will help you! Just e-mail me the details or something so I know when and where to show up. And don't worry about the reward, unless it's food. I like food. Especially when Josh isn't here to cook for me.
Oh, and I also got your message, I turned my phone off earlier. Why? Oh well Jason was a fucking moron and didn't take his medicine for 8 days straight, which makes for a very unpredictable and dangerous situation. So today I went and got my pills, took them, and went to sleep for a few hours so shit could get in to my system. So that's why I wasn't able to get coffee and whatnot.
Anyway let me know whassup.

Hypocrite in Spanish = What?Category: mexico
Check this out:
Speaking of the hundreds of thousands of Central Americans who enter Mexico each year, chauffeur Arnulfo Hernandez, 57, said: "The ones who want to reach the United States, we should send them up there. But the ones who want to stay here, it's usually for bad reasons, because they want to steal or do drugs.
.....uh........uh.........uh.........

Xenophobia is apparently universal. Sr. Hernandez even hates America so much that he wants to send people here to steal from us and do drugs. It's a good thing he doesn't want to come here, or we'd have to waste $2,200,000,000 building a fence to keep him out. Instead, we're free to spend that enormous sum of money on, say, education.
But I would only consider it to be hipocresÃa if Sr. Hernandez were an immigrant or descendant thereof, or if he's ever stolen anything or done drugs. Luckily none of us are anything like that.

Voice of an AngelCategory: love
I'm sure it's not manly to admit it, but I was so moved to tears tonight after watching a CBC story about a young Quebec boy, struck by some strange illness, who sang for the Pope in Rome recently.
I saw and heard him talking about how he thanks God that he is alive, and that the best way he can thank God is to sing for the Pope.
It got me thinking, this young boy has such a joy of living, despite his own faults and illness, so how the hell could I possibly maintain such insane thoughts about throwing my own life away, wanting a do-over? It couldn't be more accurately said, it is insane to think that way. What an inspiration! What a gift, what a beautiful lesson this young child has given us!
I wish I could thank him. If it were in my power to relieve him of any and all infirmities, sacrificing part of my own life I would do it in a second. He's taught me something that I'll never forget.

Bleck to those who don't think it is manly to have emotions that aren't "go team". I think showing all ranges of emotions is a human thing and last time i checked, men are humans. Yay for that! :O)
I am happy you found something that gave you inspiration. Perspective is soo hard to attain when we are down in the dumps. Sometimes, someone who has it worse off in our eyes yet maintains a happy attitude can give us a little.
Continue to feel better, Jason! I'm here if you need me!

Glad to see that you're not thinking those insane thoughts.
During the height of my divorce, I contemplated "hitting the reset button", so to speak, a couple of times. But then I realised what it would mean: coming back as a kid, going through 12 years of school + 4 years of college + another 8 years of post-grad = 24 years of straight misery! No way, man!! I ain't rebooting this machine just yet...

I also wish I would have gone to see Him at Canisius, he is a verry interesting guy. I think he also is so good at the dry boring voice that many people don't know that he is verry brillant (even if you don't agree with what he says).

Interesting article...I wish I had the chance to partake in his lecture at Canisius.
It made me think about yesterday when I was taking a shit in the public bathroom at the Walden Galleria (hey when ya got to go, ya got to go). I heard I really loud bang and thought to myself is that a bomb going off in the womens room? But then I realized it was probably some pissed off kid slammin one of the stall doors. Moral of the story is we are incredibly lucky that we live in a society that pursues its aggressors and doesn't let radical groups get away with walking into a public area and blowing it up.
Also, I don't want a lot of money. I just want enough to pay for my expensive education and maybe a little to go out to a movie sometime.
