March 9th. 2011

Humans have this obsession with making things vibrate.  We have vibrating toothbrushes, razor blades, face-wash scrub applicant devices, weight lose apparatus, electric massagers (erotic and non erotic).  These are just a selection of devices that are meant to come into contact with our bodies, otherwise there are way more vibrating devices out there, and as long as there will be humanity we will always aim for making everything vibrate, just like wave particles making up our world.

Dear Tim Horton’s, and Tide, and other companies please stop promoting a pseudo Canadian stereotype that you mask behind national identity in your commercials.  The great thing about being Canadian is  not having a clear stereotype attached to you, so don’t spoil it.  I would rather see Canadians portrayed in a comical and absurd way as in South Park Cartoons, than constantly see flannel shirts, straight hair cuts, and jokes about the cold and freaking snow shoes, come on! These are just things, they don’t make us who we are.

prohibition.. on a plane to China, and making friends with Air Canada entertainment

The most enjoyable thing about being a human being/an animated and thinking creature/conscious creature, is the pleasure of learning new things everyday.
I’m on a plane heading to Beijing, and I just pulled out my laptop after two Caesars and a personal sized bottle of wine, while watching the new HBO series Boardwalk Empire [episode two season one.]  I love Steve Buscemi:). He is the ultimate mainstream symbol of an indie actor.

The mix of drinks, altitude and Steve Buscemi inspired me to think about the American obsession with the Prohibition era.  This obsession, based on this really short era, is so foggy and dark, yet America remembers this time as a very defining period in its history,  and this obsession brings forth a confusion to what exactly prohibition stood for.
This is the time of suffrage, and the beginning of fundamental feminism.  Those that have studied this period in school would say, that one of the causes for its existence is the after work special of spousal abuse fuelled by intoxication; but there is a lot more to its establishment than the mixture of feminism and the protestant right.  This was the time of mafia pushing its code into law, and performers of colour who would have been previously shunned from the spotlight coming into the foreground, and defining the night club culture.  This was the underdog rebellion against the conservative principals of the great so called liberal immigrant haven called America.  This was an internal American revolution, from which strong personalities were formed, and America started voting democrat.
I don’t need to make this into an essay, and give you examples for my reasoning, but I believe that the world becomes a better place as we move further away from Judea-Christian moral values, and just consider the common sense; and that’s what the prohibition era taught us.  Now its time for more drinking as I’m getting closer to 30 [years old] on a transcontinental flight.
