At least it stated an opinion. As opposed to simply ridiculing someone. But hey, that's just me.

I took this picture at English Bay one night last summer. It's Names "BoatOnTheOcean" I can't find the original image at the moment. This one has been adapted into a signature image. I'll keep looking. for now, here you go.

how does that have anything to do with his success in america? do you think american artists are quiet about their discontent with the 'american lifestyle'? do tell, what exactly IS the 'american lifestyle'? you seem confident that you know, and i find that funny, considering you don't LIVE here. No need to get defensive. I spent a large chunk of my childhood in the States, as my grandparents do in fact reside there for 50% of the year, or they did prior to my gradfather going into chemotherapy. I'm not professing to be an expert on American Lifestyle, but I can tell you that living next door allows us a slight glimpse into it. There are basic differences and basic similiarities in comparing American and Canadian happenings. I think that it is one thing when American Artists speak out about American politics. I think it is QUITE another thing when canadians do. fortunately for me, your gem of a post simply strengthens that belief. Defensive nature of patriotism when someone who is not from your country points out things wrong with your country Some would even call it terrorism.

how cool I am to still have this.

What happened to Matt Saying in like, September that an acoustic tour was highly unlikely and he didn't want to put the effort in to travel much anymore? UIt's been like, two months since the last one ended. Well, The beginning of November anyway, so three, almost. Not that 'm complaining.

I want him to play here NOW. I'm only good for two months, apparently.

I hear people say we should tone it down.

I love this movie almost as much as Old School. Everytime I watch it, Brick gets me.

Has Anyone seen this movie? I just saw it over the weekend at the cheap theatre... Fantastic. Cried. In fact, you know, when I searched there wasn't anything coming up for the word "penguins" at all. If you haven't seen it, run. Go now and do so. Worth the time. New respect for Penguins all around.

Awesome paint skillz.

Steal my kisses- Ben Harper.

Well, it's easy to see why he hasn't made it now.. He's not quiet about his discontent with the American lifestyle. I think it's very similar to Farhenheit nine eleven when it came out- They said that Where Canadians laughed at the movie, Americans fell silent. Things are much less amusing when you're in the middle of them. Apathy is more fun.

Song for the dumped - Ben Folds.

Did you know that you can fish with cornpops?

I think it depends on the person. It's hard to release songs with titles like that when a country is still up in arms about school shootings. A lot of people in the years after Columbine and other incidents were convinced that the "rock and roll" music was at least partially responsible. It's a sad fact, but it's true. Perhaps it worked for Marilyn Manson to get higher sales, but fr unknown artists starting out in the country, how likely is it for a radio station to want to mess with that. the truth is- the more exposure, the more contreversy. Something that was never a big deal might have been made one if things had gone differently.

I'm all about Extra's these days. I used to like Vector

I searched Cereal and found nothing. So question numbe rone is Do you like it? And What kind, if any, do you enjoy most of all?

So Long Mrs. Smith. but it's too shirt.

Woot! I'm glad I'm not the only person who likes those two. They're ridiculous, but they mean a lot to me. I've felt just as disorganized as those thwo songs are. Maybe it says a lot about me, I don't really know. but it's a style I'cve never heard before. And on the History Teacher note. I remember Matt saying back in the day that he would prefer people didn't pay for them because they're not worth paying for... As well as him not seeing any money out of it.

By far - The fine Art Of Falling Apart.

I bought it the first day it came out. A few of my favourites- The ditches on a long road home How debbie Parks drowned in Cherry Jello

I always wanted to believe that Matt was where he wanted to be in terms of fame and success. I know that every artist has to take money into consideration, but I had always hoped that his success in the Canadian market was the way it is because that was the market he wanted to tyackle. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to be that way. It's a shame, I suppose. But honestly... I don't think the bastradized version of Beautiful Midnight could have done well, with song titles like a boy and his ******* ***.

It speaks volumes about today's society By the end of a song.. By the middle.. we flip the channel.

For the purposes of the poll I said Dancing Invisible. It was the first one I got and it hits me so hard everytime I hear it... the lyrics just hit home. But for me it's either Coming Out in Purple or The Last Poem's Poet.
