this "responsibility" crap sucks the bag, big time

Not only is there a seven AM now, but I am regularly expected to be awake then.
The creepy thing is that I can no longer sleep past 9 AM, even on weekends.

I have also not gotten drunk on a weeknight in a while, eat square meals and prevented Denise from having candy for dinner tonight.

I had something funny to say, but I forgot it. Jesus H. Christ! What the hell is happening to me?

I'm going to go sit in the jacuzzi and contemplate what an old fart I have become. It's good for the ol' arthritis.

This "information superhighway" thing is pretty fun.

Yay! Sofi, Kem and Denise (or "Sofa", "Ken" and "denies" as spell checker calls you) have all seen my nerdy handiwork. And denies' friends are coming over to fix our internet today.

So now that I seem to have developed a strong fan base, I think I can start getting all preachy to the three of you. CALL OFF THE THIRD WORLD DEBT!!

I actually learned all about the debt in Honduras in one of my classes. It's going to take a lot of years of working in Kathy-Lee's sweatshops to pay that fucker off. This stupid guy in the class started saying he doesn't see how buying fair trade products helps the producers. Various people tried to explain it to him. Oh well.

In other news, Canada is now ranked fourth by the U.N. in the Human Development Index. We have to go fuck things up in Sweden so we can get back to # 1. Maybe we could spread the plague or something. No, their efficient and accessible health care system would wipe that out quickly. Oh well, four isn't bad.

Kem, the US is # 17 (out of 17) on the Human Development Index. So go develop some humans in the slums of Seattle. Ha ha! you live in a crappy country! Mind you, Montreal has the highest poverty rate of any major city in Canada. No wonder 99 cent pizza places abound.

Ok, enough of this "learning" crap. I'm off to huff things. And also to go hang out with the mentally ill (or "crazies" to use the new politically correct term) at my field placement. I hope the pantsless guy isn't around today. But first, over to get some food from the cafeteria in Shatner. The one under his toupee is better than the one in the girdle.

Ok, I think I figured it out.

Ok, I think I've got the hang of this now.
Instructions are for chumps. Also, I can't seem to find any. Stupid blog.

So the question is, do I leave this here and never write on it again, or I do plunge into the depths of nerdliness?

Look, I've had a hard day - I had to be at the mental hospital in Verdun all day and then hustle across town to get some volunteering time in.
No, I'm not a patient at the Douglas hospital....yet. For the time being I'm just doing an 800 hours internship as part of the ole' Bachelor's in Social Work thing I've got goin' on. Right now I'm there for 2.5 days a week and in classes at McGill the other days. In the summer when I have to do 3.5 days at week at the Douglas I think I'll see about getting committed. The food's not bad and the rooms are ok and it would save me a lot of commuting time if I could just sleep there.
Denise, the new roomate at our swanky new N.D.G. apartment is pretty awesome, so maybe I could come home on weekends. Or maybe she can visit me there.

Well I guess that answers that. Nerds rejoice!

i just made this so i could post a reply to Kem.

Does this work? Hi Kem. So you have a blog now. So does Sofi I see.
Sharif used to, but I can't find it anymore.
Peace
