So from my trip up to Grnade Prairie, my little brother gave me a a little bit of marijuana for making tea with.
I had forgotten about it for a good 4 months when I finaly get around to making tea with it.
Helps that the parent are away too.

Well I have actually contracted a cold or flu, which is actually pretty rare for me (or that maybe my mom's boyfriend jjust gets sick more frequently making it seem like a rare occurence for me).
Anyhow I feel like crap, went to Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless mind for only $9.50 at Eauclaire!
Excellent film, a very philisophical look at the value of memories(and...

gramsci:
Gramsci is an Italian neo-Marxist. He's regarded as the founder of modern Autonomous Marxist thought. He completely by-passed Stalinist and Leninist ideas and approached Marxism from a democratic and far more progressive angle.

He wrote most of his work from a prison cell -Mussolini wasn't a fan-. Prison Notebooks is his major work. The Italian branch of Autonomous Marxism is really great. If you can get a grip on it, it is one of the best tools you'll have for engaging in debates with rightwingers, because it totally moves away from authoritarianism and focuses on the benefits of voluntary collectivism, self-management and shared-ownership.

For a modern take checkout Italian professor Antoni Negri's Empire -currently in Jail on trumped up charges from the 1970s-. It's been called the Communist Manifesto for the 21st century.

Other noteable points of...

Well it's a beautifal day out side, I am going to find myself a nice place to read my continuing education on communist theory, "Revolution Betrayed" by Leon Trotsky.
Yes I was one of those kids in school who would rather read the text book then actually do the assighnments. I also miss the calm zen like nature documentaries on television that I use to...

Well what I suspected came true, the Natzis never bothered showing up to protest our meeting (they suspected their were people passing by scoping the meeting out, but some people in the CPC get too paranoid for my tastes).
So that has releived my concious somewhat, I do like attending the meetings though.
And I have been on my days off since sunday and dont...

Well it only has taken 1 day for me to start to resent my job, as they happened to schedule me on the day that the next communist party meeting takes place, not only that the Natzis are gonna try to do to us what we did to them....the only difference is that we will still show up and hold our meeting (HAH!).
Maybe I...

I am the guy in the tuque in the backgound, though the picture is to small on the internet.
Apparently our postering of Red Deere actually got the Natzi on the poster evicted from his appartment, though now he is suing our president for Libel, So I am...

Most likely my dislike of my image comes from years of abuse by othes and their cowardly way of bashing someone who wasn't like them. I'll get over it one day...maybe sooner maybe later...
