That ,however is not the reason I post tonight. I am here for a better reason. To show you the link to the movie “Triage”

Thank you for reading my movie review.

Thank you for reading my movie review.

If you have any doubt about this, consider carefully the fact that Beaver was 6’2″ when he first joined the band.

“The Lost Boys Of Sudan” is another great movie. What might the struggles of some newcomers to North America be?

And Finally, check out, “Soldier Child” . It is about Uganda and the children who were forced to be part of Joseph Konys’ Lords Resistance Army. If you see this somewhere watch the additional footage. The government sodliers come across the children left behind after a battle with the LRA. Words cannot explain this scene.

I suggest these movies because. I feel we have to try to understand what’s truly going on in this world to make it any better. Take care!

Words simply cannot express what i’ve experienced in the last 2 hours and 24 minutes that have been shaved off the story of my life, never to be seen again.

Hear me now and believe me later: if you enjoyed this movie, you should actually be killed because you are a stupid, stupid, stupid asshole.

ps. i love this.

Seems like a good day to revisit and ponder the fact that while 500 aboriginal women have gone missing in Canada in the past 20 years, ain’t no cops been dispatched to find out where they’ve gone. Draw your own conclusions.

On a related note, there’s a National Film Board of Canada flick called “When World’s Collide” that’s worth checking out if you feel the need to confirm or deny your assumptions about what life as an aboriginal on the streets of Canadian prairie cities can be like.

Last night I had nightmares of a different kind. I went to the Park Theater to watch the movie EARTHLINGS which, for two full hours, explores the various things humans do to the other species on the earth. I can’t say I’ve ever seen anything quite so disturbing in my life. It is a good reminder to me that what we have been saying about animal rights is dead on. I feel like it’s time to for us all to stand up and do a whole lot more for our fellow animals. We live in a cruel world and it is true that you either look at it or you look away and live life like a total asshole. The excuses of grown adults pretending that they are exempt from blame and that is o.k. for them to continue torturing and killing animals because they’ve done it their whole lives is pathetic. Even sadder are those that think they’ve somehow “outgrown” justice and that now they too now have exemption from having to think about their resumed abuse. There are no excuses for how we treat animals. When people think about other people who are into animal rights they generally come up with a stereoetype to try to write them off. To dispel this myth for you: in my family I have hunters, factory farm owners and rodeo champs. I’ve seen the wall to wall rooms packed full of chickens, I’ve had deer hanging in my garage, I’ve seen freak cowboys roping and abusing baby cows, I’ve eaten meat, I’ve cheered on the circus and the zoo, I’ve shot a mouse to death with a BB gun, I’ve gouged the eyes out of fish, I’ve seen cows with holes cut in their stomachs and fitted with plugs so goofs can feel the inner workings of their stomachs. I’ll also mention to you that cousin Jim is one of the most successful and murderous hunters in North America.

If I, from the very inside of this tornado, can plainly see that all this is insane and just as easily change my role in it, then anyone can. Please, check out this movie – you will see where I’m coming from. Then I will not have to hear people talking about me being reactionary. Unless you too want to wrap your teeth around a bit while I stick a metal rod up your ass and turn on the electricity; don’t tell me about how I should be taking it easy on the poor, ignorant people because they don’t know any better. Everybody knows better.

If meat eaters, and animal users, are proud of what they are doing they should also, unflinchingly and proudly, check out this movie to see their profound and great deeds in action. They should eagerly show it to their children and bring such great achievements into view so we can all feel great about it. Check it out. The best and most disturbing documentary ever … EARTHLINGS.

Order it. Pass it around.

And I’ll extend a one time props to the nerd Pamela Anderson for stating a small truth about the seal hunt at the Juno Awards in Halifax last night. Of course a bunch of sensitive musicans and spoiled idiots in the crowd booed her for it. The moron from the amazing, only popular in Canada band ‘Great Big Sea’ said she should have just stuck to music and that, “it was an embarassment”. Hmmm, funny how Mr. Happy-Fun-Song man can actually live in the idiotic bubble he’s created in his moronic lyrics. Where’s my club?

Well, here I sit trying again to remember that the people of this world have not driven me insane but it is them who are insane. I’m not the one cutting throats, and peeling fur and flesh from living beings, nor am I cutting the ears off little animals. I am also not the one who, day after day, cuts the ligaments and tendons from my screaming victims. I do not go from place to place to get my photo taken with the corpse of a fellow earthling that I killed for fun. I am absolutely not the one who needs to do this to make myself feel special and powerful.

As they say, “You Reap Just What You Sow”. We subsidize the industries that produce our modern day plagues, our polluted rivers and our waning health. We are all fools. No more excuses. As a wise, wise, super-wise, ultra-super-duper-wise person once said, “We Are Doomed!!”

Over’ n’ out!

“In what to most Pakistanis will be a shocking revelation of the degree of sympathy which even the most horrifying of natural calamities can raise among western audiences, a poll of 27 mainly western countries shows that people felt that the October 8 earthquake in Pakistan, which killed more then 80,000 people and left more than three and a half million homeless, ranked only at number 8 in people’s assessment of the most important events of the year 2005.”

Yes, The death of Pope John Paul the Toiletfart was 4th on the list. No suprise.

I’d like to recommend the movie “Crash”. I thought it was great. Growing up around so much extreme racism this show really hits home for me. It was really well done and should be easy for anyone to find around their local video shops. “Ludicris” is my new favorite actor. Haha … nay quite. I’d also like to recommend the book “Starlight Tour” by Susan Reber and Robert Renaud. It is a brand new book about the murder of Neil Stonechild. He is the young man that the song “Bringer Of Greater Things” on our new record was sadly inspired by. I’m very glad this book came out. When I went to my aunt’s house she was reading it and was pretty pissed off. That’s the way it should be when a kid is murdered by the cops in a city. The whole city should be going crazy. The cops shouldn’t be able to just slink off into the night like dick-all happened. Check it out…

And finally, for the hell of it here are some bloody photos of my traumatized injury from our last show. I can at least walk a little bit now, two weeks later. Yowch sucka that hurt. Haha … Take care! Have a good ‘ern.
