Equal Rights

I really like this song of Peter Tosh's, Equal Rights. Check it out in the music file

Time is on My Side

My take on "Time is on My side" It should just load in windows media player or some program on Apples.

Please Stop

I hope Isreal's government comes to it senses and realizes that the killing that they are doing in Lebanon is no different then the killing that took place in the Holocaust. Innocent people are being brutally murdered, not to mention the fact ancient cities are being destroyed forever. I think that the nation of Isreal has tarnished the reputation of Judaism. It is a bad idea to link government and religion. I can't think of another country in the world that is based on a single religion with no tolerance for other religious beliefs.

Burnin' Live at Leeds

I recently adquired by way of Bittorrents Bob Marley and the Wailers - Burnin' Deluxe Edition. It is ridiculously good. Disc two is a live concert in England, which by far the best live Wailers I have heard as well as the best live performance I have heard. This is the last album in which Bob Marley, Peter Tosh and Bunny Wailers worked together. Personally I prefer Bob Marley's work prior to 1972 because it included Peter and Bunny. I'm a big fan of Peter Tosh. His voice it so unique, well same with Bob, but Peter's is something else.

I put a track from it in the music folder

Tubin'

Hot on one side, off on the other, we're cookin' with indirect heat. Oh Yeah!

World's Healthiest Foods

I just discovered this site which lists the nutrition values and cancer fighting effects of certain foods. I was eating some fresh beets from my garden and I wanted to know what kind of nutrients they had in them. Beet greens by the way are amazing! I had never eaten them before tonight and after I tasted the first one I scarfed down about 5 more.

Here's the site WORLD'S HEALTHIEST FOODS

It doesn't list Acai, Guarana, Erva Mate or Graviola, but they are relative unknown outside of Brazil. Graviola in definately my favourite, the white juice it produces is out of this world. It is said to have very high cancer fighting properites, but all I care about is that it tastes so good.

Here's a picture of a graviola.
And here's a picture of a cashew fruit which also has amazing juice. Can you see the little cashew on top?

The Good Life Blog

Here's a site I like. I stumbled across while looking for information about cloning willows. I found an amazing type of willow the other day with pink and orange leaves. It was breathtaking. I've also discovered several other types of willows and huge amound wild raspberries. There are saskatoons as well, but the berries are so high that I will need a ladder.

Jamming in the Great Room

There's a room in my parents house called the Great Room, it's got a nice high ceiling and has great acoustics. Anyways, when they are out of town, we move the drums and amps in and get stoned and jam as much as we can. Here is one of our more popular jam's on mp3.

"Lime Green and Grey" is what we call it

Kris Ricci is on Drums
Curtis Paniak on Lead Guitar
and Me on Rhythm.

Curt gets a little crazy sometimes, but we let him go, just as long as he comes back.

Gst Cut in Canada

How about that Gst cut, yeay! To tell you the truth I didn't even notice it. 1% savings, thats amazing. If you spend 40,000 per year, which the average Canadian doesn't, you would save $400 a year. I wonder how much it cost to change the GST from 7% to 6%. I bet it was a lot. More than sending every Canadian a $400 cheque, that's forsure. But let's remeber who's in power. The poor get very little from this GST cut because they spend less, the rich on the other hand save much more. Stephan Harper makes Ralph Klein and his Ralph bucks, look like god.

His mistress Rona Ambrose isn't any better. She is the enviroment minister and she hasn't done anything worthwhile. Spruce Grove and Stony Plain, two cities in her home riding do not even have recycling depots. In addition, the Conseravative government is planning to make 5% ethanol mandatory in all gasoline sold in Canada by 2010. Wow, talk about a half assed attempt, Husky-Mohawk already sells a 10% blend and the Ontario gov't has already made 10% mandatory by 2010. How about making 85% ethanol availble at every gas station, or atleast a 15% blend. Rona Ambrose get serious, get educated on the issues and get off your ass and do something worthwhile.

Richard Linklater

I'm a big fan of Richard Linklater's films. They make you think and keep you captivated the whole time. I've seen Waking Life about 10 times, needless to say I own it. It goes great with a little movie enhancer.

A Scanner Darkly is coming out right away and I'm looking forward to seeing it. The animation looks even better than waking life. You can check out the official site.

If you want to see some other Linklater films check out:

Dazed and Confused
Slacker
Waking Life
Before Sunrise/Before Sunset (I haven't seen these I hear they're good)
