| 2003 A REVIEW BY NEIL |
| "Nobody Told me there'd be days like these" -John Lennon |
| The beginning of the year started off with a bang literally. As the Americans once again showed there greed and respect towards humans by sending nuclear bombs to Iraq to blow up Sudam Hussein. Micheal Moore's documentary on guns in the U.S 'BOWLING fOR cOLUMBINE" describes Americans as paranoid people who are firghteneed not only by the media but by themselves. I must say that is a good interpretation wouldn't you agree? Jean Chretien is still our Prime Minister but by the end of 2004 he will already be retired. So what happens next? A Federal election will be held. And the hting that gets me the most is that no matter who wins, in the end everyone will end up hating the guy or girl. Democracy never wins. New Education minster Ernie Eves is soon replaced by Dear Old Dalton McGuinty. What atsupid name anyways, Mel Lastman resigns as Mayor, New mayor is David Miller. I like the homeless nazi John Nunziata. Fuck homeless people, I'm tired of always being harassed on the street for change so they can buy drugs beer. Speaking of Beer.... After finishing my last semester of high school in February, I decided to take a co-op job at MMT and take a part time position at THE BEER STORE. It's the best job people. I get to turn away minors and drunk people and sort of garbage and count stuff. But seriously it could be worse. I can be working at the dollar store or cleaning for the rest of my life. |
