I remember that Remembrance Day was so easy as a kid. You wore a poppy and sang the national anthem and sat during the presentation. Me, Slayer and Kahlan even made a little movie for the high school T.V. broadcast (featuring Pink Floyd!). But now things are different, it's gotten so much harder for me to support. Many people connect today with today's war, which I don't support at all! Even then there's World War I, which I hate thinking about. On one hand, Canada's men died by the thousands. On the other hand, why? It wasn't for our freedoms, I refuse to believe that. I know that World War I was a pointless war, only good for the bankers funding it. It kills me to say that. And they knew it back then too. On Christmas some stopped fighting and played soccer and gave gifts. Sorry but you don't stop fighting for your freedoms to play soccer, even on Christmas!
World War II on the other hand is easier to get behind, mainly because the Germans were actually evil at that time (at least the Nazis were). But they weren't during WWI, they were just as naive as we were. Come on, people really believe that Canada was going to be enslaved by German if we lost WWI? I remember hearing one teacher of mine say that if it wasn't for us winning WWI we'd be learning German right now. Sorry but no. Germany wouldn't be able to invade England to begin with and they probably would have cut France a deal like we did Germany.
One thing that bothered me today is that when we had the minute of silence some people didn't stand up. Fuck some people were still on their fucking laptops! At least be fucking respectful you pricks!
My last point is that time passes to fucking quickly. For some reason between Oct 31st and Nov. 11th I never seem to be anywhere where there's a poppy to buy.
P.S. WHO THE FUCK THOUGHT THAT IS WAS A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE A GUY WHO CAN'T SING CROAK OUT: GOOD Things GroOow In ON-TARIoOo!

Football Weekend Preview!
1. Stingers vs Blountville Vols
Projected- Stingers by 5
This is going to be a huge game. Vols have a 6 game winning streak and 7 wins overall. I have 10 wins/winning streak. Someones going to lose big. The Vols are 3rd in our division (I'm 1st of course) and are 3rd overall in power rankings. This is a key game. We can both beat the other little shits but who can win against eachother?
2. Niagara Maulers vs Goldy's Bully's
Projected- Bully's by 19
Hoping for the upset here. His team is a powerhouse with every member of his team ranking over me except his defence. Luckily most are only by a couple points. So anything can happen.
3. Hamilton Maulers vs Circle da Wagons
Projected- Maulers by 37
Good, I rank over him with everything except TEs and Kickers and who cares about them. And a win would help in standings too, currently there's a close race, 4-way 6 wins-3 loss record.
4. Maulers vs Huevous Rancheros
Projected- Huevous by 16
Again another close game, why must one team suck and one team be awesome in each league? Hopefully I'll make the upset and gain a win, we've got a 4-5 record.

Pasta Reviews
No-Name Pasta from Wal-Mart
(Yeah I realise it's no name brand but Zehrs was okay so here's how Wal-Mart is doing.)
(Yeah I realise it's no name brand but Zehrs was okay so here's how Wal-Mart is doing.)
- Macaroni & Cheese?- Fucking skimpy on the cheese
- Linguini Alfredo- Decent
- Penne with Chicken- Looks like something an owl would either puke up or shit out. Tastes decent though.
- Lasagna with some sort of meat on it- Pretty good.
- Tomato Rotini or something- Meh, I really think Rotini is just a terrible pasta. It was kind of spicy though

Stinger503's Websites I Love
This is something I've been trying to start for a while and here we go:
Collative Learning by Rob Ager
Basically Rob Ager is currently an amateur movie director and he of course enjoys watching movies. On Youtube he posts video analysis's on some of his favourite movies. What he does is dig up the underlying psychological themes and hidden elements in the movies. It not only gives you a new perspective on some of your favourite movies but also will widen your movie tastes. My favourite analysis are:
But they are all great trust me on that.

Lists: Things That Piss Me Off: #17
#17 Remembering Things After It's Irreversible
This is applicable right now for me. What I mean is when I am forgetting something then seconds later will remember it after it's to late, take today for example:
In my room,
Brain: Stinger we're forgetting something.
Mind: Tell me what it is then?
Brain: I don't know, the bus is going to be here soon, let's go.
Mind: Fine then.
Lock my door and close it.
Brain: I remember now, you're keys aren't in your pocket, their still in the room and now there's no way to get back in.
Mind: FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
That is the perfect example.

Movie Review: The Strangers
The Strangers
I thought this movie was genuinely scary. The big problem though is that the movie restricts itself. The basic plot is that basically people invade a couples house. That's the problem, you're stuck at the house the whole movie and there's really only a few characters and doesn't seem like there's a lot of dialogue because of that. There's a tiny bit of back story but it doesn't factor into the rest of the movie really. The movie is pretty scary at the start but once you get to the middle you're thinking these people are stupid.
Acting: 7/10
Story: 8/10
Atmosphere: 9/10
Overall: 8/10
Rated 14-A (ONT) R (USA)
P.S. I Called It!: The movie reminded me of the Manson murders and I said that and sure enough Wikipedia says that the director says that he was inspired by the Manson murders book and his childhood.
