Matiki is returning to the forest. If you don’t know what that means…then just enjoy the picture. I don’t think there’s a place in the world I love more than the bush of Missanabie. So in a couple months you’ll be getting blog updates from the middle of nowhere, Dog Lake.
Virginia and I just got a cute little bunny. (It’s the one on the right) Her Name is Petunia.
Montreal was a good time had. There’s a lot to tell and I don’t feel like writing. 14 people went on the history society trip this year to “La Belle Province” and I for one had more fun than I expected.
That’s all I have to say for now. Next year is Chicago. See you then.
By the way…wondering what 5 days in Montreal costs a history society member? Well it cost me 160 dollars. This includes gas, car rental, hotel room, food, souvenirs and St. Patrick’s Day celebrations.
Cambiar – (v) To Change.
My father and I are a lot alike. Even though we grew up apart, we share similar traits. Some of them I inherit for the sake of admiration manifesting itself in the form of imitation and others I would place more in the realm of “habits” not entirely good or bad. (such as treating the gas pedal with more favour than the brake)
I moved to live with my father when I was the ripe intolerable age of 16. What I mean to say is that I was on the cusp of rebellion. Now we’re neighbours, at least living in neighbouring cities…rather I live in a city (barely) and he lives in the “back-40” of the boon-docks. All in all, it’s been kind of nice living in the Soo, near family. Nice enough to grow some roots, or at least put the roots I’ve had in a plastic pot for 6 years into some soil. Some ‘Soo’il if I may.
I wonder if Dan Brown knew so many people, incapable of thinking for themselves would be roped into his fictional retelling of the Jesus years. I don’t suppose it’s very surprising that droves of automatons lined up to buy his book and watch his movie to answer their spiritual questions about Christianity, but what is surprising was that in this line of ignorant off the shelf theologians were the media and a number of government officials.
I personally love the Davinci code…I think it’s a fantastic book with a great movie. For some Christians it’s a piece of propaganda that tears at the core of their faith, but why shouldn’t heathens and the secular world participate in the story of Jesus as well? Even if it’s to butcher it while still recognizing his importance. At the very least, he changed the world, and that’s a fascinating idea for anyone, even TV producers.
What I’m trying to say is that our news media is full of morons who can’t think for themselves and who’s words reflect content flashed before them on a screen. Should the words be wrong or false, they bear no responsibility for the message they convey. Why should they after all? Pretty news casters are there for ratings, not for truth.
