Cannon to right of them,
Cannon to left of them,
Cannon in front of them Volley’d and thunder’d;
Storm’d at with shot and shell,
Boldly they rode and well,
Into the jaws of Death,
Into the mouth of Hell Rode the six hundred.
Replace Cannon with work and you know how I feel – but then again who isn’t busy these days?
I have a mid-term exam and a lot of work from left, right and front, so I will try my best to keep posting – expect me to be back to my full routine around April 17th.
Although 99% of our population can read and write, a better question to ask would be “how many of those people can read and write well enough to cope in society?”
I was randomly listening to a bunch of national anthems from around the world on youtube and I found this one, which I think is most patriotic that I’ve heard so far – too bad the United Soviet Socialist Republic (CCCP) is not around anymore.
Lately I’ve been sleeping at around 4-5 am… everyday.
It’s because of this stock competition.
Two weeks ago a bunch of banks announced positive earnings for 2009 first fiscal quarter. Obviously, this made many believe that the economy was flying back towards the greens – making the recession a distant dream.
Unfortunately for me, I lost 115% of my portfolio value.
It seems as if Bush is hated among Americans and cosmopolitans alike; 400 protesters piled up in Calgary to show their negative emotions for Bush. Playing on the “shoe incident” which happened some time ago, Bush critics wielded signs reading “Shoe Him The Door”.
Honestly, I don’t understand why people everywhere are hating Bush so much.
The Tamil community in Toronto set up a demonstration, similar to the one in January, and created a “human chain” blocking traffic for hours on end.
In terms of the fight against civilian oppression, the Tamils have all the right to stand up for their own people, who are trapped in war zones throughout Sri Lanka. I have to admit that their plight, and the plight of many other groups have been and will be ignored by our own government, but this does not mean that the Tamil community is not setting a good example for the rest of Canada. In fact, they are showing us an example of how to deal with political oppression.
I read this news article today, and I am shocked by the inactivity of our Prime Minister, Steven Harper.
Seeing that the People’s Republic of China is quickly becoming the world’s second largest economy (followed by the U.S.A.), there is no doubt that China’s economy has been developing – at a very rapid pace.
It now makes perfect sense that in the geopolitical realm, politicians should be vying for strong political/economic relations with China.
At the next Group of 20 summit next month, Obama has plans to coordinate America and China’s efforts in fighting the current global economic crisis. It is plainly obvious that Obama is pursuing friendly relations with China. Unfortunately, the same pursuit does not seem to exist at the federal level, here in Canada.
