"What can be more filthy than our respectabke, hierarchical world of middle-class civilization and cleaniness, with its smooth Western facade hiding th most awful debuachery of thought, feeling, attitude and actions, or at the very best a cheerless and aimless emptiness."
Mikhail Bakunin

"You're always having to deal with bastards, being lied to, deceived, slandered and ridiculed, but that's to be expected and you must thank heaven when you meet the exception. That's why I never forget the tiniest scrap of happiness that comes my way, such as a friendly handshake or a smile." Gustave Flaubert
This is from the book "A Sentimental Education". My best friend pointed out this quote to me. : )

There's been a lot of discussion going on about diets and healty eating so I thought I'd include the article below. It's about how government policy has a big influence on what we eat and the current health crisis we have (obesity, diabetes, etc). Very well written..it was published last week in a local alternative paper. I also saw the documentary "Food Inc" last night and to be honest, it gave me nightmares! It was'nt just seeing animals getting tortured and slaughtered although that was…

In the most positive sense of the word! Haha! This is from the life drawing class where I modeled recently. I dressed up as a pin up style nurse. It's weird seeing myself as a drawing but very cool..although may I add my body is not exactly like that..but close! lol : P

So I got my tax return yesterday...and I thought yay! Here's the money I need to get some film equipment and new ink! Wrong! The bureaucrats at Revenue Canada put ALL the money, that's right...ALL 500 dollars towards paying my student loan and another b******* debt they claim I have (some BC hospital bill..I never even used the hospital over there!). Woo f***** hoo! They could've at least INFORMED me of this and asked for my CONSENT..but that's not the way they work.
If they were gonna do…

Just been thinking about a certain issue lately...bitchy girls, what's up with them? It's something that I'm thinking about because a cousin of mine is coming to Toronto to visit after having stayed with another cousin of mine in British Columbia. Now for some reason this B.C relative was a real b**** to me when I went to visit her. It was strange because I was in a good mood, looking forward to spending time with her and she gives me the shittiest treatment ever. And by that I mean she did'nt…

Subtitle should read: In defense of the nerd : P
It wasn't that long ago that I would've stayed very clear from the words "geek", "nerd", "freak", etc. After all I was bullied mercilessly throughout elementary school and high school. And college wasn't exactly a cake walk either...
Anyway I'm embracing it now and realize it doesn't have to be as negative as everyone else sees it. After all North American society glorifies ignorance and stupidity going while fearing and ridiculing…

Finally something nice happens! I got to meet Kevin Smith at Bloor Cinema last night! I even talked to him..well I really just asked him a couple of questions standing at a microphone while he stood on stage making jokes at my expense..and I laughed like a retard because I was so nervous! But he did eventually answer my questions seriously. : )
And I gave him a print of a painting I did..it's of a chick laying on a tiki..hope he doesn't think that's too weird. And I put ALL my contact info…

Well how do I begin? I wake this morning thinking it's gonna be a beautiful, perfect day...thinking I'll go to the bank and pay off some of my student loans. And do my grocery shopping for the week why not? I could try a new recipe in my "How It All Vegan" book. Yup, perfect...then I get a call to come into work..on my day off, why? So they can tell me my job's been downsized due to the economic downturn. Wonderful!!!
F****** fantastic! Never mind that this job is the ONLY source of…

This is just to record something that happened to me a few weeks ago. I never thought someone could be so nice to me...just like that. I have this gawd awful shift that ends at 3 in the f****** morning. So I have to stand outside waiting for a night bus (because Toronto can't have good public transit running 24/7 oh hell no...) And this night is paticularly FREEZING f****** cold. I waited and waited for an HOUR and no sign of a bus. My toes were about to fall off from frost bite so I got a cab.…

So they cut the electricity (including heat and gas) in my house...in the middle of January, in the middle of a VERY cold winter. I live with my mom, her boyfriend and my brother. After years of living with roommates in Vancouver I thought that coming back home would make my life easier. It's been almost the complete opposite.
My mom works two jobs and she still can't afford to pay all the bills. I have to pay rent in order to help them make payments.
I wish I had someone else's life.…
