HLOOKOFF Etc.: Memorial Day Weekend →
I’m a proud Canadian but I’ve spent a lot of time south of the border over the past four years and this is my 3rd memorial day in the United States. Today, American’s paid homage and respect to those who have lost their lives in military service, similar to the way Canadians pay respect to our…
This is THE song that got me into Shawn Hlookoff’s music.
Damned Tumblr truncated his...

That was pretty nuts. There was this massive exclamation and sigh.
The one at the beginning of the march or the end? (it happened twice that I saw)
I managed to get a shot of the actual rainbow from the end of the day near the end of this clip
Didn’t get the first one, but got folks’ reactions here again near the end

In 1974, six members of the DeFeo family were shot dead as they slept in the house. The eldest son, Ronald DeFeo, called police to report the slayings. He was convicted of the murders aged 23.
When he confessed, he told detectives: ‘Once I started, I just couldn’t stop. It went so fast.’
i would buy this in a heartbeat. i’ve mentioned on this blog how into this story...
woah. sorry. that WAS a wall of text.
Riddle me this, Batman… why are some people such dinks?
Very broad question, eh? Let me explain - I’m in a rant kind of mood.
I like to take pictures. I have for as long as I can remember. I the 70’s I had my dad’s Brownie Hawkeye, got my very own Kodak Instamatic X-15F one year for Christmas and was in heaven, then in the early 80’s got what I thought was the...
..probably should have sized them down and not tried to upload six 15M pictures.
Maybe I should work on the booze collection while I’m waiting ;)
I am uploading crappy pictures of tea on my messy table while the kids yell “are they there yet?! Are they there yet?!”
My life, is beyond exciting… >.<
Game. Set. Match.
I fought the school board and I won.
My boy will be attending High School next year to finish his requirments for Graduation.
Funny, when you quote the Education Act at the schools, they start to listen. Got an email back this morning regarding my posts about the screw up at my son’s school (This post and this post ) already.
After a whopping 4 hours of sleep I dragged myself out of bed to continue the battle. I just received an email from the Principal stating that he apologized for the confusion and would look...
I’m still up reading the Alberta Education Act
In Section 7, Part 1 it reads:
Students

(a) who at September 1 in a year is 6 years of age or older and younger than 19 years of age, and
(b) who is
(i) a Canadian citizen,
(ii) lawfully admitted to Canada for permanent residence,
(iii) a child of a Canadian citizen, or

2am and I’m up reading the Alberta Education Act. Seems my son’s school has informed him he can’t go back next year and must walk the stage for Grad on Thursday. TOMORROW… but he doesn’t have enough credit to graduate. Three classes short.
what. the. fuck.
In September 2010, he’ll only be 17… I’m confused. He started school a year early (big...

This little high schooler just gave the finger to my dogs because they barked at her dog. I of course was an adult about the entire situation.
I yelled FUCK YOU MILEY CYRUS as I proceeded to shake my fist. Super mature, I know.
aaah, I literally laughed out loud :)

Do you not?
Don’t let them throw you off, they totally do. Think about it, how else are they going to be living up there? It’s fucking cold, if they weren’t living in igloos they would just be fucking stupid.
Silly Canadians, can’t use proper grammar. “igloo’s” = possessive. “igloos” = plural.
We don’t ride on polar bears, we eat...
