How pathetic.

So here I am, at school, in the computer lab, posting on my "blog."

How pathetic.

Its about 12:26 right now. In 20 minutes, the bell shall be ringing and I will be back to the regular routine of sleeping my way through my classes. But until then, Im sitting here in the computer lab, thinking of how pathetic I am for hanging out in the computer lab.

I could be out playing rugby. I could be tripping around school with Lukas. But no, Im sitting here in the computer lab because as far as school goes, I have no life.

Its not like Im a loser or anything.
I just stay disconnected from school. School is the lamest shit on earth.

Im not talking about the classes. The classes are fine. But as far as people go, my school is horrible. Everyone has abandoned me at school, so why should I even bother? All the people that matter to me go to other schools.

Meghan goes to Manning. Brenden, Eric, and Alex go to Massier. Steph and Josi go to some fancy ass french school.

Where do I go? The worst junior high school in calgary. Good ol' TB Riley.

I hate this.

Please keep holding on to me

THE SPILL CANVAS

"Valiant"

There's a special place inside my skull
Where your DNA it codes my cerebrum
In full stuttering and drooling
My shredded throat will try to sing for you

What do you say? Would you marry me today?
The moon would gush all inside out
and my nightmares would go away
What do you say? Would you devote yourself today?
Like riding out a sinking ship as it lowers into the bay
Please stay.

The blood collects and flushes out your cheek bones
I've got this secret garden and you are the only one who knows
I'm stuttering and drooling
My shredded throat will try to sing for you

What do you say? Would you marry me today?
The moon would gush all inside out
and my nightmares would go away
What do you say? Would you devote yourself today?
Like riding out a sinking ship as it lowers into the bay
Please.

I'm cutting ties with all the jealous zombies
I need to feel your warm body on me

When the sun goes down and the shadows grow
Just trust in us and forever know
Please keep holding on to me


Funny
This song almost describes how I feel about Meghan

But its still missing something

And I miss her

Essay #1 "Dual Citizenship In Canada"

Check this out;
i wrote this essay in 20 MINUTES. Without doing any research beforehand.
Its not amazing, i know
But I think for something written right before bedtime, its pretty good.

"Dual Citizenship In Canada"

The first thing you should know about “Dual citizenship” is what it is. Dual (or multiple) citizenship is when more then one country recognizes you as its citizen. This can occur in a number of ways; For instance, if your parents, grandparents, or spouse were born outside of your residing nation, then you may be considered a “dual citizen,” depending on the country you are currently living in. One of the country’s where this can occur is Canada.
Canada will be the main focus of this essay. Why? Because here in Canada, it is an important issue. It is much debated, whether being a dual citizen is a good thing or a bad thing. I personally believe that it is a bad thing, a point which I will discuss. What are the advantages of dual citizenship? What are the disadvantages? Is it truly worth it?
The first thing that should be understood about dual citizenship is that it has plenty of advantages. It offers many practical advantages, such as social security, and more employment opportunities. Being a dual citizen can also enhance ones feeling of belonging, due to having strong personal ties to more then one country. However, becoming a dual citizen provides many difficulties, some of which may be unforeseen at first.
For instance, becoming a dual citizen is a long, strenuous process. This is due to the fact that citizenship is a very complex matter. In fact, before the Citizenship Act of February 15, 1977, Canadian law limited dual citizenship, providing more ways to gain or lose citizenship then does our current law. Since that date, however, Canadian law has allowed dual citizenship.
However, as said above, having dual citizenship provides many difficulties, disadvantages, and consequences. It is important to understand that the laws that apply to you at any time are the laws of the country in which you are physically present at that time. This can result in many difficulties; for instance, travelling with a Canadian passport and another countries passport can lead to certain difficulties in the country you are travelling to. In some countries, it is illegal to travel with more then one passport, and can lead to a hefty fine.
Some other inconveniences are political; for instance, you may be affected if the country you are a citizen of is involved in a political upheaval. Travelling can become a hassle, due to the this, and the passport issue mentioned above. What applies to one country may not apply to the other; this can cause various problems, including denial of emigration, military service, and even imprisonment due to failure to comply with the laws and obligations of one of your countries of citizenship. As such, being a dual citizen can be very complicated.
But when it all comes down to it, obtaining dual citizenship is a personal choice. It offers benefits, yes… but with those benefits comes various problems and incontinences. It is important to be aware of these disadvantages, especially in an incredibly diverse country like Canada. Personally, I believe that dual citizenship is unnecessary, and overly complicated… and because of it, not worth it. Its up to you, of course... but I would pass on it. Consider these facts; and make the right decision for yourself.
