Today's Findings

I've was perusing this site, http://www.ontarioabandonedplaces.com morning, for a few minutes, looking for places close by to check out. I only checked otu about three or four places so no luck yet, but it looks pretty cool, I knew about the Whitby psychiatric place already and a few other places, none of which I've actually checked out though. I've got to get on that.

I also found http://www.lingua-franca-nova.net/lfnintroeng.html which is apparently a language you are supposed to be able to learn in half an hour, I'm sure that's exagerated, but it looks simple enough. I never really enjoyed taking French in school, but somehow always did better in those classes then in English. Maybe I was just never meant to live in Canada, I'm horrible at using its language, and I may as well be allergic to winter. Who knows.

Sunrise, Sunset

This is pretty cool, the transition at about 7:23 is a bit rough, but it is still interesting none the less.

The Most Modified People

Here

I'm posting that more because I want to watch the videos later, but I'm sure some of you will think this is cool.

What book are you?

You're Prufrock and Other Observations!

by T.S. Eliot

Though you are very short and often overshadowed, your voice is poetic
and lyrical. Dark and brooding, you see the world as a hopeless effort of people trying
to impress other people. Though you make reference to almost everything, you've really
heard enough about Michelangelo. You measure out your life with coffee spoons.

Road Bike

I've been wating a bike like this, or this for a while now, I may just email them. I don't really know anything about road biking, or if it requires special pedals/shoes, but I think it would be something cool to get into. That way I still get to be on two wheels, I don't have to buy gas, I can still get around town, and I wouldn't be as lazy. I'm still keeping the motorcycle though, don't think this is a downgrade, haha.

Link Day

I declare today to be link day, because I am bored, so everybody go post links of whatever you find to be even slightly entertaining today.

Bike For Sale make sure you read the description.

What's your name again?

I know some people who may appreciate this. The Starbucks Challenge. I think this would be a lot of fun to try, but there's not near as many Starbucks in Toronto as there are in Manhatten.

I know I've shown Sam some of this guys work, mostly just the paper cut out stuff, but there's a lot more on his site, so check it out.

MADNESS

When insults had class

Banana Art

I found this on Reddit today, Banana Art, it's pretty crazy.

For Sam, because her mother should have been allowed to have an abortion

I kid of course. The following are two articles I read regarding abortion, that I found to be pretty interesting. Have a read.

This one is called "The only moral abortion, is my abortion" and talks about women who rally against abortion clinics, but when they or their daughters get pregnant, they feel that it is ok for them to get one, because their situation is worse then any other girl in the clinic wanting one. Pretty much, in their minds it's ok for them to get one, but not anyone else.

This article is about what punishments should come if abortion was made illegal, and who should get punished. Very interesting.

Anyways, this is probably the most political/moral/worthwhile post I'll ever do. I'll hit you with some internet garbage tomorrow.

Early Morning

I came across Lost America on Digg this morning, and thought it was pretty cool. I think doing something like this would be a fun adventure, but my camera sucks, so I know I won't ever do it.

Maybe I'll post something later today since this was a pretty early find, but I doubt it.
