Dept of Boastfulness

No, not for me.

The Liberal Party of Canada, the Federal version, offered my mother a front bench Cabinet position if she would run in Vancouver Quadra, our riding (assuming the Liberals were to to win the next election).

Maybe this should be in the Dept of Pride, I don't know. Anyway, she turned them down for a number of reasons.

Me? I got offered a gig driving for a Greenpeace fundraising team.

Update:

Alright, my mum says they didn't 'offer' a cabinet position but dangled one saying it was a possibility. I was stretching.

Not a stretch: I did an on the street audition for a reality TV show and I got a callback and I'm meeting the producer on Monday. Ju Rosenburg, lets hug it out bitch.

Duncan Penn is rarely funny, this is an exception:






News:
I might be moving onto a travelling team, so GP is gonna shuffle me around New Zealand going town to town signing people up, so I'm pretty stoked. Sweet. It pissed rain all day, shitty.

Its so easy to embed youtube videos (easy once jonnie penn told me how) but posting photos is obscenely slow and fucks up all the time. meh, I'll try more photos later.

Here I am working for Greenpeace in wee New Zealand, and lo and behold the environment is slowly becoming the most important issue in my country. I am stoked, really am. But I have issues: I always have issues. The amount of people who come up to me on the street and tel me they think that Greenpeace are terrorist, too extreme or whatever other bullshit they've come up with is pretty frightening.
I was talking to another Canadian Greenpeace fundraiser here who has just arrived from Toronto, and she says it is worse there. The way fundraising works is you have a target you need to reach per pay period, for NZ is works out to about $45/day of monthly donations. In Toronto it's $16!!!! What a bunch of fucking cheapskates. Why? because everyone thinks Greenpeace is some militant extreme group. Meanwhile everyone thinks it's great Gordon Campbell or Stephen Harper is 'realizing' that climate change needs to be addressed. These fucking dudes have had their heads in the sands types for years. Don't get me wrong, I don't think environmental issues are partisan one way or the other: my parents are some of the most ecologically friendly people I know and they are fairly solid right of center. But these fucking morons pretend like the climate change issue was invented last year and now are gonna do something about. Well good, but I will go there: WE FUCKING TOLD YOU SO. Don't give me this 'Greenpeace is too extreme' nonsense. Fuck you listen to us more, then maybe instead of confronting problems, we can avoid them.
And Toronto, buck the fuck up, $16 a day is retarded.


and.....exhale. There, off my chest.
Go buy local.


Also:

What is it with nurses? Why are they so sexy? not the ugly old ones in the hospital, but the nursing students. They are so soft and nice and give amazing blowjobs. I met another one, well signed her up for greenpeace. She very hot, 18 and Irish (odd I know; her and BK make two in the world). And, though I don't know yet, I'd be willing to find out if my other suspicions are confirmed.

Any of you ever woken up at 6 in the morning to watch Meet the Press? An interview show featuring the cream of the crop from Capitol Hill, anyone stoked yet?
Well this is two great worlds colliding, and making one bigger better world:

Due to the dearth of Posts in mid-late January, I feel I am owing somewhat...
As per responses to the previous posts, I got a number of 'fuck you whiny bastard' and an equal number of 'pull up your socks old boy, you'll get 'em next time'. Either way no one seemed particularly concerned with Castro or Sharon.... insensitive friends I guess.
so to fill you all in:
-My job is going well, when it's good it's a cakewalk job, but when it's tough it sucks. Same as ever I guess.
-I am trying to sell a van, but doing a horrible job at it.
-I generally dislike poor people.
-Tea is delicious, but always better out of a teapot.
-Money is the key to happiness.
-I met an Israeli dude and his incredibly hot German girlfriend on the street, take that Hitler!
-I never ever think of the girl I have a crush on when I jerk off.
-I just realized the other day that 'wanker' as in 'wanker ben' means someone who wanks it, same thing with 'jerk'.
-There are waaay more Jehovah's Witnesses in NZ than I ever thought possible.
-Chris Rhodes is a bad individual to be on the bad side off.
-I hate 'volunteering' when it is really an end to a means.
-People who don't care about the environment and are adults who shop at footlocker should be sterilized.
-Buying organic is overrated, buy local.
-Michael Moore, my current bathroom reading, is truly dumb.
-Stupid dykes from Calgary who only want to talk about themselves, should realize God made them stupid dykes specifically because they are boring and shouldn't talk to me.
-The national park system in NZ is first-rate, but the telecommunications industry seems to be operated out of a single Zach Morris telephone and everyone has to take turns using it.
-As long as NGO's don't take into account how businesses are run and will be run, and fail to understand that capitalism isn't an ethos but a description, they will be forever hamstrung.
-I have seen waaay to many 15 going on 25 year old girls to think that all those hormones in beef and milk don't do anything.
-Bill Simmons talked me out of betting on the Colts, but I forgive him.

take it easy, I got a sunburn yesterday.
