7:27 pm - Warning! Engaging Rant Engine.
|
So yes, folks, I need to vent. I encountered something at my volunteering place that has truly grated against my skin.
I was assisting with my instructor who has a young child who is autistic, along with a fellow assistant, we watched an employee of the stables bringing her horse in. So she comes in, her horse stops, backs up, his eyes are wide, and he's clearly afraid of something. So she proceeds to pull and drag him, he resists further, she then turns around, using the reins, and begins to repeatedly whip him in the chest with the reins!!!!
On top of that, when the poor gelding had stopped what he was doing, she proceeded to beat him AGAIN.
The poor kid witnessing this is asking me "Why is she beating the horse?"
I don't even know how to respond to this, I am bottling up my rage immensely, even the poor pony tied up beside me was a bit afraid because I could feel my blood boiling.
If she has THAT bad of a temper with that horse, (she's even yelled at some volunteers), she shouldn't be working at a stables, let alone working at a stables where children are present. She brings a very bad energy to the place and shouldn't even be in possession of a horse.
end rant transmission.

10:38 am - Interesting to Note
|
When we heard that MJ passed away at work, we cranked the radios up as they were playing his top hits. It's neat to see Home Theatre, Car-Fi, and even the iPod section's radios all jamming in unison. :D
I'll miss ya MJ. Regardless of all the scandals, regardless of all the loneliness that fame and fortune brings, I hope that you are in a better place, and I hope that whatever you were struggling to find in life, that you finally found it.

2:01 am - Transformers Revenge of the Fallen Review
|
If you are a fan of the series, and kept in time to the Transformers canon, then yes, you will love this movie. At least there is a coherent script this time, and this was a definite fan-service to those who know and love the Transformers.
How do you know you're among die hard fans? You cried at some point or at least teared up in this movie. :D
Win.
Devastator ROCKED.

11:57 pm - I need a new phone.. old one's about to kick the bucket
|
With duties and such, we're looking at... approximately $441 CDN for this phone.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/Nokia-5800-Tube-XpressMusic-Unlocked-GSM_W0QQitemZ250433032398QQcmdZViewItemQQptZCell_Phones?hash=item3a4ef8d0ce&_trksid=p4295.c0.m299&_trkparms=240%3A1318|301%3A0|293%3A1|294%3A50
Why am I getting this phone from ebay? First.. it's unlocked, Rogers doesn't sell unlocked phones, secondly, it's a LOT less expensive than if I were to get the Android G1, or... rather.. the HTC Dream / Magic as it is commonly known in Canada.
On top of that, Rogers has no unlimited data plans, and you know that 500MB of download / uploads they give you? You're not paying for 500MB, you're only paying for maybe half, their systems are atrociously bad at keeping track of accurate data transfer, and so you're not paying what you're getting with Rogers. Sorry, I won't support htat.
That $441 would be part of my tax return... so... should I?

Monogamy works for the individual. Culturally yes, we've been monogamous, though earlier times we DID have polygamy as the norm.
It's learning what works best for you and going with it, be it monogamous, or polygamous, as long as both parties are understanding it's all good.

12:29 am - Why I Love Horses
|
In many cultural mythos, horses have always been spiritual messengers. In Greco-Roman mythology, the horse was the answer to a challenge to Poseidon to create the most beautiful creature for Demetter.
Why do I love them so? Pictures are worth a thousand words.

9:33 am - ACTA Rears It's Ugly Head AGAIN.
|
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/8011895.stm
For those of you who aren't familiar with ACTA. It is called the Anti-Counterfeit Trade Agreement. When the first iteration of this agreement was leaked, it basically gave governments rights to inspect your iPod, your laptop, etc. for pirated materials. If you had pirated materials on-hand, they can seize or destroy your property, and you could face jail time.
Europe right now seems to be on the side of the people, but yeah. They won't even divulge the details of the treaty at this point, and the fact this trade agreement was initially done in secret doesn't really inspire much confidence that it's for the good of the people and more for the good of the anti-piracy lobbyists.
What's more is ACTA is being negotiated, but they're not part of international organizations, meaning it's separate from say.. the WTO. So... yeah.
