Bob MacKenzie - A Canadian Poet (He eats the goat)
Ceremony by Bob MacKenzie
When the Sun is at his highest,
and not looking,
I lean against the western edge,
and I wait there.
My servants build a cage of stone,
bed and circle,
eleven watchers and the trap
set near the edge.
He will be hungry at day's end,
ready for goat:
at the centre of the circle
the feast is laid.
Quietly we watch him coming,
our eyes his fire,
our souls reaching from our white robes:
we slay the goat.
The scent of goat roasting rises,
filling the skies,
tempts the Sun descending to us:
priests in his name.
The goat leads the Sun to the gate,
and wind rises;
under the table stone he rests:
a ball of fire.
I take the sun in my right hand,
fire on my palm;
a ball of fire between my hands,
I raise them high.
I am fire: before me all bow,
eyes averted,
revering the Sun incarnate:
I eat the goat.
The wind rises and the light fades,
and they bow still:
when at last they dare raise their eyes,
the Sun has gone.
My priests lay me on the table,
and wait my soul:
when I return the Sun has gone
over the edge.

This guy totally didn't mean anything cool at all but it came out nicely:
"The Teenager craves a melody that will move him forever, seeks an experience so intense that he will forget what time it is, and so absorbing that it will blot out all eternity."
It's funny how you go from looking up a band to ending up on the "Home School Magazine" website.

The CD's I bought today
I went to pick up a tyrannosaurus rex album that Rob ordered. Terri bought some CD's too so it made it tough not buy anything even though I'm broke.

St George's Day
England's national drinking day , named after it's patron saint, passed on April 23rd without much incident. Similar to the Irish tradition of St. Patrick's Day in that it is best enjoyed away from it's native land. The recent history of nationalist displays are tabloid fodder and could swing the upcoming election towards the Tories. My girlfriend was pretty loaded.
Rare Goat
Excerpted from 'The Goat Farmer' magazine:
RUSTLERS MISTAKENLY EAT RARE GOAT
Hong Kong - Goat rustlers in western China mistakenly ate a rare animal worth 30 000 yuan (about R25 000), a news report said on Thursday.The thieves thought the animal they stole in Donying, Shandong province, was a common goat but it was in fact an expensive Boer goat popularised by the Dutch and reared for its high quality meat.
Twenty eight of the goats worth a total of $18 000 were stolen from six livestock farms in Shadong province between May and August, according to the Hong Kong edition of the China Daily.All were recovered except for the one which the gang of thieves said they mistakenly cooked and ate thinking it was a common goat, the newspaper said.

Paul Martin - This Dude on TV.
Courtesy of the Weather Network
Hi, get this, there’s this fellow on TV he’s from the government, the mayor or whatever, and he’s apologizing for some kind of cuts he did to Canadians. Every single channel just about had this guy on. I know where to turn, guaranteed the only channel that will not have this dude on and it’s the weather channel. They do not, sorry sometimes I don’t want to listen to them. So I switched to you guys, isn’t it nice to know you’re so popular.
This lady sounded normal!?

Will you marry me?
So I'm talking with my good ole college drinking buddy, you know the kind, Jeremy. So he tells me he says, "Ryan I'm getting married". So I says to the guy, I says. "Jeremy my friend, sweet, I'm actually happy for you, its like buying a big tv, once you got it, you don't have to worry about getting another one."
Something I saw in my apartment.
Walked into my prisitine kitchen only to see this run across the floor.
To be totally honest, after I came to, I considered asking for my
sizable deposit back.

Not good news
Denis is gone (B.C). Donna is gone (B.C) . Christine...gone(England). Marilyn is leaving tomorrow (Farming). It's probably going to be a crappy weekend.
April 20th
I did a lot of drawings yesterday. I figure I should just leave that date on all of my drawings for now on. Me and Dick Dix (that's better in print) went to 123 wharncliffe to smoke weed. We watched half baked and listened to sublime.

Commodities
I was researching why the price of M2 tool steel is so high. The M-type tool steels are high in molybdenum content, an alloying element that is surging in price. Apparently it is used quite a bit in oil extraction piping and delivery systems. The construction of the $20-billion Alaskan Oil Pipeline will push this price close to $60 per pound, just one among many economic or environmental impacts.

Lost weed
When I woke up this morning on Pat's futon I noticed that I lost my weed. Nobody else was up yet and I was still to drunk to drive home so I figured I would go look for it at Chad and stacy's house down the street where the keg was. To my dismay it was nowhere to be found, but on the way home I saw a cigarette pack with money half stuck in it.

Earth Day
Another great message courtesy of the weather network.
Surely you jest, do you really think earth day is a worldwide celebration. Do you think people in Africa who are suffering with HIV, battle hemorrhagic fever, Ebola and other kinds of issues; People in the lower continent of India, billions of people who can barely put together something to eat for a day. The whole world celebrates earth day! You are diluted.

Jetsgo Napkin
Heard that wonderfull sound, you know it, the ice cream man. So I ran down from my desk and got myself a soft ice cream swirl. You know chocolate and vanilla mixed. Anyway I remove my napkin only to see a jetsgo logo on it. Thought it was amusing. Mike may not, this will probably be deleted.
Weather Network, Message of the day.
This guy calls and complains on a regular basis.
“Harrington Harbor, Its in Quebec” do you realize how silly and stupid you sound when you make comments like that? We had to look it up we didn’t know where it was! And this has been my point the last few months that I’ve been laid up here watching ya. You know nothing outside of southern Ontario and Toronto. This is a good example why I say what I say to you. You are the two biggest bimbos I’ve ever heard on television my whole life and I wish someone at that weather network would take a hint and get you off of there.

Darfur is fucking crazy
When they go to burn the village they throw the dead bodies in the well so the water gets contaminated.
My girlfriend (to be named at a later date due to the sensitive nature of girlfriends)
Watching 'Americas Next Top model'. It's not a very good show. Tyra Banks Kind of looks like a transvestite with the red hair. The cable was screwing so it kept freezing on her face in wierd poses. Transvestite hooker. Man she was hot in Fresh Prince.

What happened to the water.
I also spend parts of my day sorting through messages left for the weather network, yes people have an outlet to complain about the weather. This is an actuall message left this morning.
Hi my name is George I used to live in and around London Ontario. I called you from there, now I moved to wiarton actually west from wiarton, which is north of London Ontario. Uh, its unbelievable, in grand bend and port franks along the lake Huron area they’ve been dredging the water because the waters been going down so much. Well I came out here, I’ve been coming out to wiarton area for many many years, over ten years and when the snow just melted just west of wiarton, there’s a place called sandy bay and a place called elephant, the waters gone, you can literally walk to the island, the boats there were hundreds upon hundreds of boats that used to be there, the docks like there’s no water, I think, I’m damn sure now that Americans have put a big huge pipe in the thing and they’ve been taking so much water its unbelievable, like you wanna see how much water is gone, just come and see. It’s unbelievable. My phone number is 5X9-5X4-4X2X. There’s no way drought has done this, lake Huron will be without water in probably ten years there will be no more water in lake Huron, If you look at how much water has gone between last year and this year oh boy, what happened to the water.

A question for the ages
A Man needs to bring a wolf, a goat, and a cabbage across the river.
The boat is tiny and can only carry one passenger at a time.
If he leaves the wolf and the goat alone together, the wolf will eat the goat.
If he leaves the goat and the cabbage alone together, the goat will eat the cabbage.
How can he bring all three safely across the river?

Eating the goat
The Time It Takes To Eat a Goat
A lion can eat a goat in 2 days and a wolf can eat it in 3 days and a fox can eat it in 5 days. I want to know how long it would take if all these animals got together to eat the goat? (Italy, ca 1600)

My girlfriend (to be named at a later date due to the sensitive nature of girlfriends)
Old Oak Properties turned down my rental application today (My credit is terrible). They even fucked up by telling my employer that my girlfriend and I were a "lovely couple". She's gonna be an accountant. What gives this company the right to discuss thier opinions of my personal life. Oh, wait a second, that's illegal. So really, I guess nothing gives them the right to do as described.

Beers by the river
I was drinking beer and smoking some weed down by the river with Rich and Nathan when this guy and kid came by on bikes. It was mildly uncomfortable.
