So yesterday I went shopping for the first time in four months. I was a little suprised at what I saw because I swear I could have been transported back into the 80's when I was looking at what to buy; the style today is disgusting. First of all, you have the most ugliest colours imagineable being mixed together like pink and brown and seafoam green and a whole bunch of crap. Then there is sweater vests; need i say more. i pretty much wanted to vomit all over, and/or burn down all the stores i went to. The only thing I bought was...drum roll...bedsheets. Anyways, for a person who is always into modern styles, this whole throwback to the 80's colours and styles is sickening. please let this just be a passing fad.

Socialism (communism) in Russia? THAT'S CRAZY! THEY HAVEN'T EVEN ENTERED THE CAPITALIST STAGE YET!!

So here are my top five myths concerning Chuck Norris:

5. The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.

4. Chuck Norris counted to infinity - twice.

3. When Chuck Norris sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. Chuck Norris has not had to pay taxes ever.

2. Chuck Norris doesn't read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.

1. Chuck Norris sleeps with a night light; not because Chuck Norris is afraid of the dark, but the dark is afraid of Chuck Norris.

So we actually have snow on the ground now...and i have to agree with my friend louis when he says that everyone seems to have forgotten how to drive (especially in ontario). this little clip will show you what i mean, check it out...

so i figure that i should probably get a usb drive for school during the christmas holidays. as i was looking, around i found this one. yep, i definately found a keeper.

Apparently, the US is looking into constructing a "physical barrier" on the 49th parallel to prevent terrorists from coming through. im sure we all think this is ridiculous. does anyone think that the US federal government is driving farther away from the will of the people? could this cause them to ultimately shut themselves out of the rest of the world? it seems like they feel that everyone is out to get them, especially since support for the war in iraq has crashed like a plane into the ground. but would citizens of the US really care? do they really care about the rest of the world outside of their country?

so it is now 5:50pm and i just finished writing my second hardest exam: ancient and mediaeval political theory. The exam consisted of three essay questions, each taking me about an hour. I felt i did good as I usually have problems writing properly layed out essay style answers under pressure. i think i did really good actually - it all depends on how the prof marks it - its all subjective marking really.

anyways so right now i am tired and my eyes are sore...im still adjusting from taking my glasses off...they are starting to drive me crazy. anyways, i wish i could sleep...but...my hardest exam is just over an hour a way. i feel lost. i want my bed.

I find it interesting that while the Chronicles of Narnia shows winter and snow as symbols of evil in the world, Presdient Cooper referred to snow these evening (at the Midnight breakfast) as symbolizing how we are made pure and holy through God's spirit.

Today I received an email from Joyce and it read as follows:

This will blow your mind Can you imagine working for a company that has a little more than 300 employees and has the following statistics

• 30 have been accused of spousal abuse.
• 9 have been arrested for fraud.
• 14 have been accused of writing bad cheques.
• 95 have directly or indirectly bankrupted at least 2 businesses.
• 4 have done time for assault.
• 55 cannot get a credit card due to bad credit.
• 12 have been arrested on drug related charges.
• 4 have been arrested for shoplifting.
• 16 are currently defendants in lawsuits.
• 62 have been arrested for drunk driving in the last year.

Can you guess which organization this is?

It is the 301 MP's in the Canadian Parliament. The same group that cranks out hundred of new laws designed to keep the rest of us in line.

Which one are you voting for?

Last night I went to the hockey game. I didn't really like the hockey game; I only went to it because there was nothing else to do. See, I don't really tend to support Redeemer's hockey team. To me, if Redeemer is to have a hockey team, they should be playing against other colleges and universities. I don't care if this means that Redeemer will be last in the league for the next ten years; at least they are playing against their own kind. Currently, Redeemer's hockey team is playing in a church league. This seems a little unfair as theoretically, Redeemer has 816 people to chose from while every other team barely has enough players to make a team, and usually are only playing just for fun. For some reason, Redeemer students are proud of their hockey team placing 2nd/3rd in church league; I am not proud of them at all. I mean, we should be kicking their faces in (not literally); we have a lot more opportunity for talent and we actually do practice (even though it is very little).

Now I don't know how Redeemer Athletics views its hockey team but I think there is some sort of confusion. If Redeemer's hockey team is supposed to be non-competitive and solely for having fun, than I think there is no problem for a bunch of Redeemer guys/girls to get together and play in a church league- paying for it themselves, without carrying the Royals name. If Redeemer is going to have a competing hockey team, then they should be able to carry the Redeemer Royal's name and receive funding from the university, and therefore compete against other colleges and universities on behalf of Redeemer.

As the team currently stands, I can't help feeling confused. Are we supposed to be proud of getting 2nd or 3rd place in a church league? To myself, no - we don't belong in that league as a university team. Maybe we should decide if Redeemer wants a real hockey team, otherwise, don't bother wasting the school's money.

It sounds like their are strangers beating each other up in my house. I don't know what to do...I'm a little frightened....

So i was bored last night and than i realized that my blog (as it is currently designed) will be about 1 years old in less than 2 months. in light of this, i have decided to redesign my blog...hopeully making it a little more aesthetically pleasing as well as unveiling a new aspect: the use of video messaging. That is right; you the lucky reader will find more than just pictures and written messages from me. Hopefully, I will figure out my video editing software and i will be able to show you guys videos of my everyday life - just so you know whats going on. Plus, it's about time that i update myself with technology....anyways, so i have made a rough sketch on how it will be designed. I am hoping that a tentative date of completion will be jan 30th, 2006. so anyways, unless i blog again (which may be doubtful as i'm crazy busy with boring school work- which isn't exciting to blog about) i will see you then. peace,
craig

p.s. exams are in one week...ahhh!
