I need to get a couple things off my chest
Hello All. I am back. Here are somethings I feel the need to express.
Suckerpunch:
How did this movie even get made? Now, I was raised on a solid diet of She-Ra, Transformers, and Catholic religion when I was a young man, so you would think a movie invovling warrior women fighting dragons and zombies with giant robots and swords would appeal to me. It was literally just not good. It had a plot that made Inception seem simplistic and dialouge that made Micheal Bay seem like a modern day Oscar Wilde. Anyways, if you want to see a mindless action flick, see Battle:LA. Compared to Suckerpunch, it is genius.
Books and the disapeance of "books"
Books are disapearing. Books will never disapear. But people keep saying that e-books are kill books. E-books are books. You know what we called scrolls two thousand years ago? Books. We called scrolls books. Then somebody came up with an invention call the Codex. It was a bunch of papers bound together. You could write on both sides of the page. You could search it easily. It was more efficent then the Scroll. So it replaced scrolls. We still had books. We just didn't have as many scrolls. What people are mourning is the Codex. and we will still have the Codex. We still have scrolls. We just will use e-readers more. Jeez, people get a grip. Just because we have a new technology doesn't mean society is going to collaspe.
The Tories
Holy jeez! What is with the tories lately. All their talk about coalitions. And that thing with the students being kicked out of one of their meetings cause of facebook pictures! What is going on with that Party? What ever happened to a thougtful reasoned compassionate conserativism. I know what some of you are thinking; "Oh young fool, there is not such thing as a toughtful reasonable conservative, it is a myth, like a unicorn." But I have seen the debates from the 60s and 70s. Thoughtful, reasonable. The tories talking about poverty and reasonably priced housing. Whatever happened to those Tories. Jee whiz.

Some Startling revelations
So I haven't post in a while. So some quick updates. I moved out into Ottawa. Guess who my roomate is....
W...
W...
O...
N...
She is at this moment gots a green face mask of something on, and is reading a vampire novel called, I kid you not, "Ludcious Craving".
But that is old news.
Two new items. I have become an amatuer stand up comedian. I don't talk about you guys. Mainly just drunk people at the bar, my grandfather, and WWON (maybe Wicked Witch of the Right the Frack Here in my House? WWORFHH... worf?). I am sure I will mention Persian Princess, but only because I find Iran hilarious.
Other related item, I went to the BLUE COLLAR TOUR, with Jeff Foxworthy and Bill Engvall and stupid Larry. Ron couldn't come. Apparently hes not allowed out of the states. Poor Tater. We miss your ramblings.
Now Jeff mentioned during the act that all of his routine came from his family. So in honour, I present to you a LIST that is entirely true and passed on my own family experiences.
You might be a Redneck if...
Your Parents had their wedding reception in a Barn...
your grandfather takes you on a two hour trip because the peaches where three cents cheeper...
your brother is convinced terrestial fowl (chickens, turkeys, quails and phesants) are out to "get him"...
you have had to chase a pig...
your father uses expersions such as "This should fit like shit through a goose" and "we don't want to crawling all over ourselves like a bunch of donkeys"....
your grandfather has French country-music, and yes, he has made you listen to it, and yes, there was an accordian...
you have developed a keen sense of smell when it comes to electrical fires...
you learnt to drive a tractor before you learnt to drive a car...
you have been told the words "I don't care what it smells like down there, you got to crawl in and catch those damn birds"...
Your father keeps a hunting dog in his garage...
thats all for now. I hopefully will keep updating. I make no promises.

New Styling
You might notice I changed my blog up. I forgot to copy the code for the comment page, so you will have to suffer and use the one given to you by the good people from google. Sorry high priestess of puck, thats the way she goes.
I also have changed up my links a bit, a bit of cutting and adding. I put on a couple webcomics, post secerts, and a prayer site. Check it out, or dont. i really dont care. As long as you comment.
some of us seem to not understand something about KOM. The purpose of a Monarch is not to engage in petty partisan discourses, but to provide a balance guiding hand to his subjects. That in mind, I should point out that I did not so much want to point out why socialism is wrong, as to why Shron is wrong. Lets keep our priorities straight. I think capitalism is pretty much as bad as its cousin. Just so you know, I don`t take sides. I work for myself. I hope we can finally put the partisan sparing to rest, as I believe this all began when I said that partisan sparring is stupid and dumb.
so, just a shout out to the cowgirl, I added her blog to my links, and she is currently flipping crap in a furnace. Feel free to ask her about either. She totally dropped a hugh post on us after over a year of silence. I think it might be pushing two years.
Anything else. New look. New comment page. new links. Hating partisans. flipping crap. nope. I am off to make sure this comment page doesn`t totally block any of you non-google, non-blogging fools. you heard me
Peace and Long Life

I am only going to post this once, so pay attention...
Listen folks, for those of you who wait pins and needles for a new blog, I got to break it to you, I tend to be rather lax in publishing. Perhaps I need to be more committed. But, like all males, I fear committment. Therefore, no metaphorical diamond rings in your future, with a giant rock and an inscription that reads "Posts ever thursday".
All I am saying is that I was born a rambling man. and sometimes I need to ramble on to the next blog.
Anywho, one issue I have to deal with. WHy is Jesus not a socialist; apparently, my word isn't enough for some of you. Don't worry, this adventure into semi-serious religious discussion will be quick. I will wipe the floor with this idea.
Seriously, did you ever hear about ancient labourers and craftsman talk about their profound alienation they feel from their work? Or bitch about dialectics? No! of course not, because in Jesus' time socialism didn't exist. And here's a shock, neither did capitalism. Do you know how I know this? Because Socialism says they didn't exist. It was still some pre-feudal nightmare that was waiting for the light that was feudalism to be brought to Europe with its heralds, smelly germans on horseback. No, we were so far from even capitalism as we know it that things we take for granted, like banks, and currency policy, and fiscal responsiblity, where hardly a gleam in the eye of Ceasar. No perhaps you might object. No, Kom, you might say, I mean the redistribution of goods. Because didn't Jesus tell that one rich dude to give all his money to the poor dudes. And didn't the aposotles all live in a hippi-ish commune; didn't god totally kill a dude and his wife for withholding stuff in the commune? And your right, all those things happen. But you might notice that Jesus didn't tell EVERYONE to give EVERYTHING away. Nor was the original community the aposoltes governed become the norm across the world. Jesus didn't make every rich dude who was his follower give up his money. Just that one dude who needed it. But perhaps, by socialist you do not mean someone who advocates a radical distribution of wealth, but somebody who cares for the poor, who calls for people to be nice to each other, and is generally, a nice dude. Now if this is the defination you use, then I am not worried. Because there have been lots of capitalists, feudal lords, and ancient emperors who have been pretty nice dudes. Finally, if i may, to suggest that Jesus is politically partisan suggests a rather petty god.
Whew, that took longer then I thought. But in case you feel upset, I should point out, that I don't think Jesus is a capitalist either.
Man, I totally blew this blog on Jesus. Well I hope he is happy. I better get extra brownies in heaven. Well thats alright.
WWoN(WWoS) has now moved to sask to take a new job, and currently does not have access to the internet, so she can't be bothered by it (WWoN(WWoS(WWoE?))). Cowgirl and Lil'Persia hardly read it. All that is really left is to face the wrath of Shron, and wait for Mr. Parliament to thank me for finally posting and explaning the Jesus thing. Oh, and my brother my read. Peace and Long life!

LISTS!!!!!
I was reading some of my old posts, based on the theory that the only thing worth reading is stuff I wrote myself. And guess what, I was right! Any ways I noticed some things, like I use to have a whole lot more poetry. And Lists. But there is still a consistant amount of yelling.
It brings back the memories. With things changing, I thought you might appreciate, a List.
Lists I enjoy
-Top 10 Gregorian Chants
-100 Ways to Use Cheese
-1,347,569 Pratical Uses for Baking Soda
-he Mysterious List of Myster
-7 Reasons Jesus is not a Socialist
-10 Reasons Shron is always wrong... or 17, if you count the... you know
-The Impossilbe List of Pi Number of Reasons this List is Impossible
-The Necro-list-acron (Otherwise known as WWoN(WWoS?)'s shopping list; made out of human skin, if you read even the first few items, it will drive you made. example: item #23- Fat Free Yogurt that has does not obey the laws of Euclidean Geometry)
-A list of reasons that last list is just awesome
Anyways, in conclusion, I rock.
This is longer then usual, still no pictures
WWoN, or maybe its more accurate now to call her WWoS, told me to write about the election.
And indeed it was a momentous election in Nunavet. Oh, wait, she meant the other one.
So we have a really screwed up view of democracy, I realized. And I am sure you have heard some version of this rant before. But we do. Let me tell you why. The people who shape Conservative and Liberal ideas, dont really believe in democracy. I know what your thinking "Well your half right, but when it comes to My Guys you out of the freaking ball park. My Guys represent truth and democracy and indeed, good. The other guys have sold their souls to socialism and or corporate interests. Indeed, that you might suggest there is some moral equality between what is obviously the angelic ideology I support and the satanic rite that is the otherside of the sense, sickens me. I hope you are eaten by those conservative and or liberal running dogs and or tax and spenders that you are so obviously supporting. Good day sir." And of course, you will probably keep on going. If I were to say things like "Barack Obama isnt a socialist" or "John Macain was not a carbon copy of Bush", you would probably throw up a little in your mouth.
Then you might be confused; How does supporting who is right mean I am not supporting democracy?
Well, think about what you thoughts about democracy when you guy looses? And what where your thoughts when your guys win? If your thoughts where 'today, Democracy has failed' and 'Today we finally have democracy', then you dont believe in Democracy. You believe in, you know, whatever you believe in, and democracy is a tool to get to whatever you believe in. And I am sure that if an Absolute dictator arose that agreed with you %100 about everything, you would feel pretty good about it. Finally, you might say, we have taken power away from those stupid jerks.
Heres a thought. Democracy hasnt failed if your guy doesnt win. You want to know when democracy actually failed, take a look at German history. Democracy has failed when the power to change government has been removed from the people.
Ah, you say, corperate-lobbyist-feminist interests have taken over government. The poeple, you say, are no longer really in charge. I am calling BS on that. The only reason Corperations and Lobbyist have influence on government, is because we, the electorate, tolerate it. Barack Obama isnt going to change a damn thing, unless the electorate changes. I have no problem with Political parties, politicians, and Liberals and Conservatives. What I have a problem with is the electorate. If the country sucks, its because of its voters; so yes, I am blaming you, all, for the problems of the world. Maybe Americans especially, but we have our own issues up here. And as charismatic as Barack Obama is, as historic an election it has been, I will be honest, I have my doubts. Its not that I think Obama isnt sincere, its that I think the people, the electorate, may not be. If we want change, we have to start with ourselves.
That was too much deepness. You know what, maybe we shouldnt have democracies. Being a King, I have always been more partial to Absolute Monarcies. We could make Barack Emperor of America, and William Shatner the King of Canada. Unless of course, you want me to take over. AND YE, I WOULD BE A TERRIBLE FORCE, THAT GIVETH THE CHEESE, AND TAKETH THE CHEESE AWAY.
That feels better. Blame WWoN(WWoS?)
ps: the Quebec election is coming up for all those people who just cant get enough of politics. Its so much cooler then nunavets elections. I mean seriously, whats the fun in 'consensus' politics. Next time I should totally rant about how stupid it is for Americans to hate the french, but you probably hate the french anyways. Well on the behalf of my french half, bite me.
Blog Supremacy
I think we need to discuss two very important things.
One: KoM's Blog Supremacy
Know as you all know, I have long defeated the High Priestess of Puck in our battle of Blog Supremacy. But now after that long hard battle a Usurper arises to challenge my Throne. Yes the treacherous Queen of Shron is attempting to take my hard one place as... the person in my small circle of people I write about who writes in their blog the most. Now this means war. YOU MAY HAVE PICTURES, AND INTERNET RAD-DIO, AND CLASS, BUT YOU WILL NEVER DEFEAT ME AND MY MAUVY GLORY. THIS MEANS WAR!!!!!
Two: In two days, is the anniversary of God's greatest gift to man, namely me.
Thats right its my birthday in two days... and I will destroy everyone who forgets... You've been warned...
