Apology Review Update

Firstly I would like to apologize for the use of the phrase "Boo-Ya Bitches". It was the ill product of watching "The Chappelle Show". Coming from him it's hilarious. Coming from me ridiculous. Moving On......

The countdown is over and I have finally come into possession of "In a Coma". Keep in mind that given the terrible day I had yesterday that my reaction was not completely fangirl. Just mostly. Popped in the dvd before the door had even closed and I can I just say having the commentary for the videos was an inspired idea. After I had seclude myself in my bedroom started in on the cd's. The two new songs were without a doubt incredible. Then came the material the blew me away. The first two songs just happened to be two of my absolute favorite Matt Good songs. And if you have read the rest of this blog you will know that when I love something I am completely fangirl about it. So yah tears were beginning to well. But it was the third song that really kicked my ass. By the end of Generation X-Wing I was full out crying. Which I didn't manage to get control of for at least three songs. So the next two songs play and of course they are unbelievable but then comes my, hands down, favorite song. Prime Time Deliverance and it's acoustic. There is something about acoustic that I have always preferred. Probably because it's somehow more emotional, at least for me. Then to top it off you get "LOSER ANTHEMS" and "LO FI B SIDES". So this was pretty much worth the trip to pick it up. As a side note, I have a feeling that had this effort been attempted by anybody else the price would have been doubled. So all in all, it was amazing.

Speak Out

Violence against women is a subject that is very personal subject for me. It happens far to often and we have to put a stop to it. I would like to thank Matthew Good for this link to the amnesty website. Take a look and make your decision from there. http://www.amnesty.ca/voices/

So Close Yet So Far

California was close to becoming the first state to legalize same sex marriage. But now it seems that the governor will veto the landmark bill. Could you expect any less? He is the Terminator.

Deal in Such Strange Ways

People react differently to death. I recently lost one of my uncles to cancer. My father decided that it wasn't necessary for me or my brother to attend the funeral. Before he passed away, my dad was all about us going so he didn't have to deal alone. I was planning on going. My uncle never liked my family. He insulted us every chance he got, he hit my brother and my mom. He wasn't a completely nice person. But I knew that my dad would need something there for him. We were going to be that. In two years my grandma, two of my aunts and now my uncle have passed away. You would assume that this loss would make a person rally all the family that was left and hold on tight. It is the exact opposite. People react differently to death.

Just Passing On Information

I got this link from www.matthewgood.org :

It's an interview with the mayor of New Orleans. Amazing. He is frank, impassioned and truthful. He is truly amazing, we need more politicians like him. He has some interesting insights into the hypocrisy of the American government.

Think Globally Act Locally...

...An adage that is rarely taken seriously. How can you expect to change the world when you do nothing to help those around you. I'm saying this because one of the local radio stations (96X) had a contest that offered 20 thousand dollars to anyone that could bring Brad Pitt in for an interview (He's filming a "Jesse James" movie at Fort Edmonton Park). It caused an uproar and was deemed to dangerous. So the folks in charge decided to donate it to the Hurricane Katrina relief fund. A noble cause, no doubt. And by saying this I am in no way trying to diminish the tragedy of what has happened. I am only saying why not give some of that money to the Youth Emergency Centre, they could use any help they could get. Or how about the Battered Women's Shelter. All I'm saying is there are causes in our own back yards that are worth taking notice of.
