THE TRAILER PARK BOYS STRIKE AGAIN
ONE OF THESE MEN IS INCAPABLE OF CONSUMING LIQUOR.Unable to control his tiny brain while imbibing, prone to pontificating about things he thinks he knows about, slurring his speech...
Basically, unfit to drink.
And why is he leaning in to the picture when he's virtually in the centre of the frame anyway?

I dunno, I know I'm hardly blogging at all, I feel so out of touch, but I wonder if it's more that the world isn't out of touch, out of time, out of space, past some sort of equilibrium that seemed to exist before.
So let's analyse this: Bush was among the most despise of U.S presidents, all the hope and future has been put into Barack Obama's hands...and all he's getting is grief from the Refuckin'publicans and even democrazies and media?
Why aren't people writing about how horrid the Bush years were and what an almost impossible task that Obama inherited, and how he cannot possibly be expected to right all of Bush's wrongs in an instant?
Hey, I'm just like everyone else, washing their clothes on a Sunday so they can be clean for Monday and the week ahead. I'm just trying to pay my bills like everyone else. But how can anyone avoid the world's larger problems?
Hey, I've got a giant zit on my right cheek. Is that more important?
I can't believe how the media has abandoned its need for context and is just jumping on what the politicians want it to say. CNN should be ashamed of itself.
Bush and his phoney bunch of cronies are totally responsible for everything that is happening now, this all happened under their watch, and it might be argued with their approval, if not as a result of their economic policies and bent.
Yet Obama is paying the political price.
I can't believe it.
All of the world's current problems are as a result of globalization, free trade, a world economic order that's totally about making money and f*ck whatever other problems result or are ignored as a result.
Anything that's designed to preserve things the way they were or could be or guaranteed jobs and useful things for people to do is called protectionism, and all that is promoted by the big corps that don't care about anything except bottom line.
It's all about doing away with $17 an hour jobs and replacing them with $2 an hour a jobs a half a world away. It's all about whatever is cheapest is best. Before we all know it, we're all going to be Chinese.
That's not a racist sentiment against China. It's a sentiment that we are not Chinese. Variety is the spice of life. What the super corps have decided is they don't care about that, they value the bottom line more than they value us as North Americans.

Film Crew Invasion
I KNOW I HAVE POSTED BEFORE ABOUT MY SON, EVAN, AND HIS NEW-FOUND LOVE OF ACTING.
He performed as one of the two lead characters in a Charlie Brown school play at Christmas, and he loved it...loved the singing, the bit of dancing, getting into the character.
And for Evan, who's a bit like Charlie Brown himself, that wasn't such a tough challenge.
His ascent in the entertainment world has been incredibly fast, however. Because now he's in the movies. And he and his film crew invaded my apartment for some live takes that were full of laughs.
This collection of four Grade 11's and one Grade 12 are putting together some sort of school film, with the Grade 12 fellow as the director. I gathered they don't have a name for the film yet.
But they walked over with their camera and tripod and microphone and invaded my bedroom and living room and his bedroom for some footage. They were OK with me taking some snaps.
The film seems to be all about a young guy who never cleans up his room and gets into constant trouble with his dad for that (hmmm...sounds a lot like real life).
In the end, though, as far as I can understand, he cleans up his room, gets back in his dad's good books, gets the scholarship he's been waiting for and gets all his privileges restored to him.
During their time here, I had to move to different parts of my apartment to get out of their way. Harumph.
I urged the crew to actually go into Evan's room and see what a mess it was.
They razzed him endlessly and while I'm not sure of this, I think my suggestion caused the director to incorporate that scene into the film.
What I also know is these young guys were laughing like crazy all the way through as they did take after take after seemingly endless take...
Until, finally, they left.
Evan is second from left below and his best friend, Jeremy, is on the far right, foreground. The tallest guy in the back and second from right is Colby, who I coached in basketball with Evan years ago.
It needs to be added that Evan -- who worked until 3 a.m. Saturday morning, started filming at about 9:30 that morning and had to work again last night -- slept in this morning and I just got a call from Jeremy asking where he was.

Doh. Some things never change.
