Sick To Death Of Being Taxed To Death

I'd like to take this opportunity to apologize for not blogging the way I said I would. Things have been pretty crazy this past while. Two jobs doesn't give you a lot of "you" time. It could be that or it could be the fact that me ranting constantly on and on about how our governments are screwing us is simply falling upon deaf ears. It's evident that people will vote the way they feel and there's nothing any of us can really do about it. In the past provincial election voters decided to vote for a liar, who has not held his part of the bargain instead of a man who seemed quite genuine in his beliefs and stuck with them. It just goes to show you, people would rather vote for the devil they know than the devil they don't know...and that's unfortunate. There are a lot of individuals who try to make places better to live but continue to be shut down because people vote for the familiar face. That's why I've decided I can't live in Toronto any longer. Don't get me wrong, Toronto will always be home. It's where I was born, learned to drive, fell in love among other things, but it's just not the same. It's evident with the re-election of David Miler a while back that Torontonians are not ready to move forward, they want to move backwards. Well, you got what you wanted Toronto. Congrats, now hard working people are going to have to pay 60 dollars more a year to drive a car in Toronto (on top of the 75 we already pay) and it's going to be harder to buy a house with the property tax increase. Miller has even looked to throw in a alcohol tax but finally realized it wouldn't work because people could simply drive to Mississauga to buy alcohol and avoid the tax. Democracy??? Sure, whatever you say. I have no faith in the voters of Ontario. You've all let me down again.

Blood In, Blood Out

I remember being young, thinking I was 10 feet tall and bulletproof. Young people think they're immune to anything, nothing can harm them but that isn't true. I pretty much had an epiphany today. I had a few tests done at the doctor's office. Now, I usually have a pretty good breakfast to start the day for the most part. However, I figured I'd run to the doctor's, come back and eat. Well, I had no idea he wanted me to do some blood work today. Anyways, the blood lady couldn't seem to find veins in either of my arms. When she finally did, she had to take blood out of both. All of a sudden I started to feel really dizzy and felt like throwing up. When I awoke, I saw the lady's face but I didn't recognize her. I had passed out. In my 30 years on this earth I had never passed out from anything before in my life. Which proves my point, when we're young we think we're unstoppable. Even up until today I thought I could take on the world. It takes a split second for us to realize that we're all just dust in the wind. Pretty scary isn't it? Yeah, I didn't mean the Kansas song.
