winter is coming

you know its time for winter
when the wooly socks come out
your hats and mits and scarves and such
and lots of little pouts

you know its time for winter
when the snow is on the ground
the streets are filled with slush
and your spirit feels a frown

you know its time for winter
when you’re oh so bundled up
trying to keep warm inside
hot coffee in your cup

you know its time for winter
when holidays roll around
you gather with your family
and many drinks go down

you know its time for spring
when the flowers start to bloom
love is in the air
and sunshine fills the room

Looking Good All Over, Barry.

A dear friend notified me of something very interesting going on at www.economist.com. You can login as a member of the site (or signup!), choose your country and pick who you would vote for in the upcoming US Election. It is evident by all my posts that I’ve got a thing for Obama. I was pleased and surprised to see that the whole world, the ones whom are interested in The Economist, would vote for Obama as well.

The countries that chose McCain are mainly concentrated in one part of the world and McCain leads in Iraq, of all countries, with 67% of the vote. Interesting point maybe? In Canada the favorite is clear, 89% of Canadians that have voted online, vote for Obama. the polls are refreshed every 3 hours and overall there are 9,120 votes for Obama and only 270 for McCain.Check it out if you find it interesting by clicking the links or the map.

Just Dance!

Tonight I’m taking my sister to see a show that I am quite excited about. The show is entitled “Bloodletting and other pleasant things” by Tony Chong at Dancemakers Centre for Creation. I’m quite looking forward to it. I don’t have much knowledge about the show yet however you will all know what I think about it tomorrow! It is in the Distillery and starts at 8pm if you wanna come with us. I’m looking forward to hot bodies dressed in minimal clothing and a roller coaster of emotion expressed through contemporary dance. My sis and I have always been involved in dancing. We both started at the age of 3 with Meyerhofer Dance Academy in our home town and we both had fake eyelashes and hairpieces at 5 years old. We travelled to New York, Myrtle Beach, around Ontario competing in many, many competitions. With that thought, the two of us are good critics for tonight’s show.

Recipe for Brain Cancer

take a kid, add a mobile phone, use it for a few years…
study shows that Cancer may develop


I came across this article today addressing links between children, cell phones and the development of brain cancer. I found it to be informative. You can read the entire article by clicking on the editor’s name below.

“Children and teenagers are five times more likely to get brain cancer if they use mobile phones, startling new research indicates.

The study, experts say, raises fears that today’s young people may suffer an “epidemic” of the disease in later life. At least nine out of 10 British 16-year-olds have their own handset, as do more than 40 per cent of primary schoolchildren.

Yet investigating dangers to the young has been omitted from a massive £3.1m British investigation of the risks of cancer from using mobile phones, launched this year, even though the official Mobile Telecommunications and Health Research (MTHR) Programme – which is conducting it – admits that the issue is of the “highest priority”. If anything, we should learn from this and realise that the use of mobile phones could be damagerous to our health. There are a few things that we can do to protect our health at least. The first and most obvious is to reduce the use of mobile phones, whilst another thing that people could look to is EMF Protection as well.

Despite recommendations of an official report that the use of mobiles by children should be “minimized”, the Government has done almost nothing to discourage it”

Is that Fey or Palin?

Tina Fey is cool but Palin is not so cool.
Check her out ‘raising the roof’.
it inspired me to write a little som’tin som’tin…
my name is palin and baby i’m failin’
raisin the roof like i’m raisin concern
in a few weeks i’ll be back on that stage
in a pageant with girls half my age

one kid in the war and one a teen mommy
SNL & tina already got one up on me
throwing out hate to reach for the votes
and right in my face you’re all making jokes

she spent so much money to get fancy clothes
yet not she’s not even stylish wherever she goes
her leading man is so fucking old
and comments she makes are so often so cold

she’s got ol’ dirty bush, ODB, on her side
but barry obama’s taking them for a ride

my name is palin and baby she’s failin’

A Fish Story from Jeff Bridges

I was reading Jeff Bridges intersting site and blog and I came across a lovely little fish story to share.


A guy who lives at Lake Conroe (50 miles north of Houston ) saw a ball bouncing around kind of strange in the lake and went to investigate.

It turned out to be a flathead catfish who had obviously tried to swallow a basketball which became stuck in its mouth!!

The fish was totally exhausted from trying to dive, but unable to because the ball would always bring him back up to the surface.

The guy tried numerous times to get the ball out, but was unsuccessful. He finally had his wife cut the ball in order to deflate it and release the hungry catfish.

You probably wouldn’t have believed this, if you hadn’t seen the following pictures…

He said.
Be kinder than necessary ’cause everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
And that is just why I posted it. Hope you enjoyed it too.

Give Climate a Chance

I watched this ad and could not help but be touched by it.I saw it on Moby’s blog, he writes alot. It makes me feel sad more than anything to think about the polar bears and how it affects them and there is nothing that THEY can actually do. We have to. Will we be able to save them from becoming extinct?



I believe that fighting Global Warming is extremely important. Here is a link to an article on the
Environmental Defense Fund site about ‘Global Warming Myths and Facts‘. I found it to be quite interesting, including the PDF with all the signatures form the Gleneagles G8 Summit in 2005.

that’s a scary thought

I was on Facebook this morning and I saw this pic in Armand Diego‘s album “NYC: Outsiders NY, VMAN party and the KOOL AID MAN”. Scarrrry thought. I’m considering being Sara Palin Zombie. I bet that would be a little too scary and I’d rather not give her the satisfaction of having me be her. Not that she would ever know or care but if I put it on the internet she could see it and comment on it. What if ‘Casie the Zombie Palin‘ became the new ‘Joe the Plumber‘.

Like, seriously, am I really ready for that. Is she? Is anyone? I don’t think so. But…to
morrow is another day that is part of Halloween Week in the Wonderful World of Casie.
I just found this out. Todd Mitchell Palin (born September 6, 1964)[3] is an American oil field production operator and the current First Gentleman (self-styled “First Dude”)[4] of Alaska. He has taken some college courses but does not have a degree. Gregg Erickson, columnist for the Anchorage Daily News, said that Palin “obviously plays an important role … I’ve seen him in the governor’s office, and I know she’s conducted interviews in the governor’s office with him present.” Mr. Palin is copied on e-mails dealing with official state business. He helped write the state budget, has been involved in personnel matters, and has called lawmakers when he or his wife have disagreed with what they have done.” Check Wikipedia.

write on. this is a run on.

today i am feeling a bit of a cold and possibly by the news reports with all the tragedy and gun fights that happened last night some others are feeling cold too i’m staying in all day and i’m wearing a pirate shirt and i put the zombie tattoo on again last night because i love it i’ve got pen and paper and links in my fingers to share and i’m going to write about things that i like because that is what like to do and it makes me happy when i do it and i’m glad to know that other people like reading it because there is nothing more fun than making art and sharing it with people you like andy warhol told me once that being good in business is the best kind of art and i totally agree with that its the best and most free that you can be just creating things and putting it out there
