I want to rant about people who abandon animals and leave them for dead. I visited the SPCA on the weekend and as per usual, the place was filled with throw away animals. Why do people take pets then disregard them like litter? The stories of abuse and neglect abound. And you know who are even more stupid? These dumb ass freaks who take on endangered species. You should all be punished and thrown in jail. I’ll be happy to do it and then I’ll throw away the keys.

It seems kind of fitting with all the rain that we have been receiving over the past couple of weeks that I posted Grahams rant again.

Thanks again for your video Graham and the iPod shuffle that you won is on the way!

It really pisses me off when you are on a plane and someone puts their seat back, crushing your legs, and then they look back and ask if it’s ok to recline. What pisses me off more is that some people don’t even care to look back after they recline, they have no regard for the comfort of their fellow passengers.

Please find time the morning of November 11th to attend Remembrance Day Ceremonies in your area. The City of Vancouver’s 2006 Remembrance Day ceremonies will be held on:

Saturday, November 11, 2006 at 10:10 a.m.
Cenotaph at Victory Square
West Hastings Street, between Cambie and Hamilton

These ceremonies, which include a wreath laying to honour those who gave their lives in the service of our country, will mark the 61st anniversary of the end of World War Two, and the 88th anniversary of the First World War Armistice.

The prelude at the Cenotaph will begin at 10:10 a.m. with a performance by the Vancouver Bach Youth Choir. The official program begins at 10:30 a.m., followed by two minutes of silence at 11 a.m., and the placing of wreaths at the Cenotaph. A parade of veterans, ex-service personnel and the Canadian Armed Forces will then move west on Hastings Street and march past the saluting base at Seymour and Hastings, where the Premier of British Columbia, Gordon Campbell, will take the salute. On the platform with the Premier will be the Mayor of Vancouver, Sam Sullivan.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders Fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders Fields.
- John McCrae
