Honk if you...

You know what! It's kinda limiting to use "honking" as a method to show support. I don't have a car, so I can't support those Telus picketers, locked out on Jasper Avenue. I can ring the bell on my bike, I guess.

I woke up this morning to my cat Smak hitting me in the face, saying, "Meeeeeeeeeeeeeee-ow, Rod. Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee-ow." I drove my parent's car to my parent's house for the weekend, as they're still holidaying in San Fran, so I got to spend some time with my old friend Smak. And that sociopath Max.

I drank a bottle of wine in the hot tub, and talked to Margi and Kara (the two coolest girls in the history of this World- my motha notwithstanding). Hey, I just used the notwithstanding clause. I must have bigger balls than Ralph.

Went to the corner store Jele's on my way out of town, and managed to get my weekly gay bashing from some stupid little *!#$face. Ha ha, but I guess I was in a VW Beetle, so I did look a little gayer than normal. Certainly more gay than when I'm on my bike, taking wicked-ass jumps and going faster than ever. You should see how straight I look on that bike. And how hot I am when I'm on it. Holy crap, you would love me on it. I have a sticker on it that says 'carless'. That be me. Honk if you support carlessness.

But I should really digress already.

fROM NOW ON, HEY i'M STUCK IN CAPS LOCKS... That's better. From now on, I'm going to pretend I'm Brian from "Queer as Folk." It's kinda fun. I get to be really hot. Or maybe I'll pretend I'm Karen from "Will and Grace." Ha ha.

Religion is like a box of condoms... It takes all the fun out of sex.

Ha ha, I'm just kiddin'! But that is kinda funny to say!

Okay, I know I'm being a nerd right now, but I need to write this down!

Oprah's on, and she just interviewed a Christian that went to live with a Muslim family. (He was previously quite ignorant of the Muslim belief system, so I think this was supposed to be a learning opportunity for him... Actually, I don't know; I just turned the tv on).

In either case, the Christian is talking about some of the beliefs that the Muslims have, and he slips out how he thinks some of their beliefs are "crazy." He then explains that he does understand the functionality of their beliefs (eg. he talks about how he wasn't allowed to stay alone in the same room with a person of the opposite sex, and he relates this belief to being a functional response/solution to sexual activity among teens).

This Christian's drabble throws open two obvious questions: Firstly, where does this leave his own religion? Doesn't Christianity have similar beliefs that are as equally functional? So should we choose religions based on whether or not the beliefs fit our current needs?

Secondly, can two gays stay in a room alone together? If so, do you know any cute gay muslims that want to be alone in a room with me?

Digressing...

But really, it's that age-old question: Fashion versus Function.

Shut up, Rod.

Hinton wasn't built in a day...

I had a reunion with some of my friends I went to Italy with! It was off to Hinton for the night!

(This is a collage Kelsey made! I shouldn't be taking credit for it!)

That's my box of wine they're all drinking! The first half of it had already sent me off to bed, so they thought to finish it for me!!

Oh well, as Karen told me: "The boxes from that year weren't that great."

Crazy stuff

I had a pretty scary dream the other night that there was a collapse of the global economy, and everybody started looting our Wal-Marts and 7-11s. My parents- on holidays in California- were unable to return to Canada. I decided to go get them, so I put some air in my tires and started riding my bike south, to San Francisco!

Have you ever seen "28 Days Later"? Those zombies remind me of a good friend's hang over (you know who you are!)!

Dr. Phil is in New Orleans, helping out in the aftermath of Katrina. Hmm.

Who wants to go to New York with me in December?
