5 Will Get You 6 If You Play the Dice Right
Insurrection acts just like a prayer.
Bad intentions, collar turned against the wind.
It's such a simple twist you just flik the switch.
It's so easy to forget a life like this, a life like this.
He doesn't care he's had a tasteIt's such a simple contortion
No easy solution
It's an act of faith.
Still 5 will get you six, if you play the dice right.

The Fine Art of Falling Apart
and I write alone
and I rock Myself to sleep.
There ain't enough room in this world for people like you and horrors like me.
The this time of darkeness there lived a girl in the woods discised as a bee.
At night she would fly into the city...
Alley Squash
This summer we endured the torturous landscaping of the family that moved in across the alley. As if their new baby wasn't enough. I fully support silent gardening...or at least putting forth an effort of minimal impact to the environment. The environment that are your neighbors. The people that moved in across the alleyway decided to completely rape...I mean landscape the back yard. So they Home Depoted the back yard, being sure to use the most screamingly loud tools and machinery...all day all summer long. Long story short...they scooped up what was the yard, which was obviously someone's Veg garden, and dumped it in the alley way. The mounds of soil, which are still there, have been producing the most exciting things. I think the most exciting was THIS hybrid squash.

Many Canadians hold negative attitudes towards people with mental health issues, says a new poll released Monday by the Canadian Medical Association.
The poll, which was part of the CMA's 2008 National Report Card, showed
46 per cent of Canadians think people use the term "mental illness" as an excuse for bad behaviour.
The poll also showed only 50 per cent of Canadians would tell a friend that a family member had a mental illness -- compared to 72 per cent who would talk about a cancer diagnosis.
The poll also showed only 50 per cent of Canadians would tell a friend that a family member had a mental illness -- compared to 72 per cent who would talk about a cancer diagnosis.
"This year's report card shines a harsh, and frankly unflattering, light on the attitudes we Canadians have concerning mental health," Dr. Brian Day, CMA's president, said in a press release.
"In some ways, mental illness is the final frontier of socially-acceptable discrimination.
"Can you imagine the public uproar if mental health was replaced with race, gender or religion?"
The poll also found that:
a solid majority of Canadians would not have a family doctor (61 per cent) or hire a lawyer (58 per cent) who has a mental illness;
55 per cent would not marry someone who has a mental illness;
27 per cent of respondents are fearful of being around people experiencing serious mental illness;
15 per cent of respondents had themselves received a previous diagnosis of clinical depression, the most common mental illness.
Meanwhile, less than half of Canadians think people struggling with drug and alcohol additions have a mental illness, says the report.
The results also showed that only one in five Canadians would socialize with someone who has a drug or alcohol addiction.
"These figures show clearly the insidious stigma still associated with mental health and mental illness," said Day. "These are the attitudes that have kept mental health on the outside for far too long."
Despite the stigmas, 72 per cent of respondents agreed that funding to treat mental illness should be equal to money spent on physical illnesses such as cancer.
