Atention All Teenagers
I was speaking to a friend today about the current goings on in Ottawa. He is a year older than me and was very oblivious to the way our parliamentary system works. I've been thinking about this all day and have this to say. Teenagers in Canada should be more informed when it comes to politics in Canada. I would (and probably will) be very disappointed when i grow up, start voting and see my peers at that age who are still completely ignorant to the parliamentary system. I'm not suggesting that they become obsessive about learning all they can but only that they get the proper information. It is a huge shame that so many people were drawn into the whole anti coalition fiasco the King Stephen created. It shows how horribly uninformed the people are and how despicable King Harper is for taking advantage of it (unless of course he is also unaware of it). So as a closing note, I say to the government of Canada, the government of Ontario, the DDSB and all teenagers currently in high school that a new, more informative program should be implemented on the workings of the government. It would help the future of canada considerably and would help teenagers become interested in poiltics.

Sorry-Update
I'm sorry about my last post if it offended anyone. I was just stating my opinion and hoped that it wold not be an issue but since it is I apologize for my comments. I still do think that Twilight sucks canal water but if you want to read it go ahead. It is not my job to tell you all what to do.
So onto bigger and more aggravating things. Michael Ignatief has been given a clear path to take the Liberal leadership. I hope he does well but I still think that Bob Rae would have been a beter choice. The one thing Ignatief should do is make sure that when he speaks to Harper about ideas concerning the economy he informs the Canadian people so when King Harper ignores them he will get crucified.
I got the Dark Knight kast night and it was has good has it was when i saw it in theaters. I love Batman played byChristian Bale and the Joker played by the amazing Heath Ledger (RIP). The later deserves an Oscar for his performance.
Thats all for now. Leave new topic idea's in the comment sectione please.

Twilight Series
Everyone has heard the hype, most girls (and their boy friends) have seen the movie and girls are drooling over Edward like there's no tomorrow. Obviously I'm talking about Twilight. The book series has been captivating girls everywhere with it's very chick story appeal. I was pressured into reading the first book last summer and to be brutally honest the only thing I found good about that book was the cover page. It was the most dry reading material since the dictionary. I hate it with a passion and tell all guys who are in their right mind to read it.
If you guys are into vampires than I suggest you start with the Southern Vampire Mysteries by Charlaine Harris. They are a great series with a lot of suspense. If you like that series or if you dont than I still suggest you watch the HBO show based upon them. they are ten times better than the novels.
Back to my original point I HATE TWILIGHT WITH A PASSION. It is the worst book Ive ever read and ranks just above Dora the Explorer and the Teletubies on my list of thing that George Bush should have nuked whil in office.

"I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas"
Well it's Christmas time again and the annual Christmas present rush is on. Has always there are 2 big problems with this time. What should women get men for Christmas and vice-versa. It's impossible for us men to know what to get women because of how vague the ideas they give us are. Normally an obsessively organized woman is annoying but when it comes to gift ideas, they could be very helpful. An actual list of 5 or 6 ideas would be perfect cause then we could get like 2 things off the list and it would still be a sort of surprise.
Well enough with me bitching about that, I can actually give advice on the other question. Us men are simple beings. We are rarely interested in thing that we need. We prefer toys. So, girls, if the guy your buying a gift for likes to cook then you get like a knife set or a grill. If the guy is a computer nut then get some computer gadgets. With me it's CDs and DVDs that i prefer. Clothes are a bad choice unless your family. Books are only for book nuts. And for gods sake if you're buying him a movie stay away from the chick flicks.

NDP-Liberal Coalition
By now many people have heard that the New Democrats and the Federal Liberal parties of Canada have formed a coalition with the support of the Bloc Québecois. If you don't know what the purpose of a coalition is than; a coalition can be formed when a vote of no confidence goes through in the House of confidence. The parties who form the opposition go to the governor general and ask to take over the government to avoid an election.
Well right now, sitting in Ottawa, waiting for the December 8th economic update vote, are eager NDP and Liberal Mp's waiting to throw Stephen Harper into the official opposition seat. Personnally I think this is a good thing because of 3 things; STEPHEN HARPER LIED, he said during the election campaign that he would not run a defecit, then after the election he said he would, then in the economic update, guess what, he didn't. 2; I love the NDP and this will help their popularity. 3; because of the awesome deal that Ed Broadbent and Jean Chrétien helped create, there will be no election for at least 18 months.
There is one thing that Stephen Harper said thought that really creats strong opinions in my heart. He said that what the NDP and the Liberals are doing is undemocratic. (http://www.thestar.com/News/Canada/article/545828) He really needs to educate himself because what there doing is something completely democratic. If a governing powere is doing things for the good of them selves and not for the good of the country then the people who can take responibility have the duty to take responsibility. It is the most democratic thing that a party can do so to quote Shakespear Ibite my thumb to you Mr Harper and I hope you and all your lackeys die a miserable and painfull political death.

TREKKIES
I am a huge Star Trek fan. A second generation fan but that doesn't change anything. I have clear memories of sitting in my living room when i was 5 or 6 and watching Star Trek and Star Trek TNG with my dad. Then when I was 8 and 9 I watched the movies and since then I've been in love. I decided to write this in the light of the new movie coming out next year. I hope it'll be good and think that they couldn't have chosen a better Spock.
So with all that out of the way I'm going to start reviewing the series and movies in order.
The Original Series
Funny but had some serious moments. Favorite episodes The Tholian Web, Space Seed, The Trouble with Tribbles, and of course The City on the Edge of Forever.
Star Trek The Next Generation
Ok lets be honest, the first two seasons wer 95% crap. but of course after that the show became one of the best in TV history. Favourite Episodes ( God this is really really hard) Yesterdays Enterprise, Cause and Effect, All Good Things, The other seven episodes where Q appeares.
Star Trek Deep Space 9
My least favourite of the series but still amazing. Has some of the best characters the franchise has ever seen and had some very good plots. Favourite Episodes Emissary, Q Less, In The Pale Moonlight.
Star Trek Voyager
LOVE LOVE LOVE. This series has my favourite cast and my favourite writing. Chakotay and Doctor are my favourite character in the whole franchise. Favourite episodes Caretaker, Eye of the Needle, and of course Scorpion.
Star Trek Enterprise
It may be less popular than the other series but I love it just the same. Favourite Episodes: In a Mirror Darkly and These are the Voyages.
Now just has a side comment I would like to take the Time to iniciate the best Television episodes of all time list by adding THE CITY ON THE EDGE OF FOREVER, CAUSE AND EFFECT, SCORPION, ALL GOOD THINGS, and IN A MIRROR DARKLY.
back to the reviews....
Star Trek the Motion Picture 6/10 mediocre special effects but miserable story line.
Star Trek 2 The Wrath of Khan 9/10 Fantastic Movie nuff said
Star Trek 3 The Search For Spock 6.5/10 ehhh
Star Trek 4 The Voyage Home 8/10 nuclear vessles lolololololol
Star Trek 5 The Final Frontier 2/10 Horrible Movie nuff said
Star Trek 6 The Undiscovered Country 9.5/10 has close has the origional series cast came to perfection
Star Trek 7 Generations 6.5/10 ehhh
Star Trek 8 First Contact 9.5 has close has the TNG series cast came to perfection
Star Trek 9 Insurrection 8/10 My favourte of the odd numbered Trek Movies

Serial Dramas
Ok, I know the trend of the past decade has been show like Prison Break, 24, Heroes, and Lost. They have been replacing the famed Drama shows of the past like CSI, L&O, NYPD blue. Well I cant decide which ones i like better. I love Prison Break, and 24 but I also love L&O, House, Bones, and CSI. The serial drama's have the disadvantage of being completely predictable after the 2nd season. But they also have the best enemies. I mean come on T-Bag rivals Hannibal lector on the Vilain scale. But on the other hand, House, and Bones have some of the best hero characters.
So with the new TV season going on Ive been watching PB, House, Bones, and CSI to decide and after watching them I'm even more undecided than I was before. Prison Break finally got its grooe back and House, bones, and CSI are better than ever. so what i finally decided was that having both of them together is a good combination. Having only serial Dramas would suck but life with out could be just has bad.
With all that in mind I'm going to end this by saying that I cant wait for 24 season 7 to start, Prison break is still keeping me on the edge of my seat, and Bones CSI and House are still good as ever.
