Tomorrow is Election Day here in Canada. All of the winners screw up during their terms. They have since day one. If you vote for someone and they end up winning and screwing things up, you are responsible because you voted for them. If you don't vote and they screw up, you are responsible because you didn't vote. If you vote for someone and they lose, you are a minority, so shut up. It's a great system of belief.

It is a close race according to the pre election polls. I have never met anyone who has been called for one of these polls. I know many people. If I took a poll right now, 100% of people I know haven't been called to take part in one of these polls. What a joke.

I saw Mr. Moore's new piece of visual work and feel that everyone should watch it before making a decision on it. Already I'm hearing people judge this piece of work without seeing it. I was disturbed by the crowd at the theater because they clapped and laughed at parts that should have driven them crazy.

I'm waiting for Usama to be caught before the next election. Obvious?

There is such a divide with the North American nations when it comes to political affiliations that I find it quite disgusting and amusing at the same time. We can't even agree with 1 of 2 people's opinions (I took that poll personally) and yet we are the ones telling other countries how to behave.

Power to the people if they want it. But they don't. So we deserve this.



I Should Always Wear Sunglasses:

When walking along the sidewalk in the city it is not uncommon for me to look at people's faces and in their eyes. Must be from being raised in a small town. That or the fact that I'm more human than most people, a superhuman. Now, usually the people walking to wherever they are going in the city are in trances and have no smiles. I like it when I walk by someone who is smiling. They are far and few between. Sometimes the cards are played out where you wish you didn't happen to be looking at someone. They always ask me for directions (like I know where I'm going). They always assume I have something to give them outside of acknowledgement of existence.

Today a man with a bike stopped me and mumbled something. I asked him to speak up.

"Sir, I have full blown AIDS," he tells me as I notice a big vein in his forehead and his trembling hands on the handlebars of his bike. "I don't ask for any money. I don't want that stuff. People don't understand. I just want something to eat. I don't want money. I just want something to eat."

I ask him: "Well, what do you want from me?"

"Do you have any change?"

I tell him no.

He gets angry and says, "Maybe I should just pinch myself!"

Was he implying getting blood on me or was he implying killing himself? I tell him, "You don't want to do that." I'm already walking away at this point. "Stay strong."

I'm hearing him almost crying over the noise of cars passing by. He mutters a sarcastic thing about my comment and staying strong and slams his bike tire into a newspaper stand.

Maybe I shouldn't have told him to stay strong. I don't believe he was ever strong to begin with.

Experience telling me otherwise, the person passing by me next is looked at and they are in a trance.

They don't want us to smile on our passport pictures because it would affect their imaging systems. If we smiled when we walked by the cameras, they would not match us with the pictures they have in their databases. They know that most people don't smile and the ones that do are easy to find if they need to talk to them.

1. You are captured by cameras more times a day then you would think.
2. Mental health will be the third most costly burden of disease by 2020.
3. Have a nice day.
