                <description><![CDATA[ I'm pretty excited.  I was just hired on as the Photo Editor of a campus newspaper for a university I don't even attend.  <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br />I'm in my second year of a 4 year Journalism programme at Saint Thomas University in Fredericton, a city that is also home to the much larger University of New Brunswick.<br />
<br />
My friend Drew got the position of Photo Editor for the Aquinian, which is the STU campus newspaper.  I was going to shoot for him as a staff photographer until I was approached by the incoming Editor in Chief of The Brunswickan, the UNB campus paper. She informed that the position of Photo Editor was becoming vacant (she was the previous Photo Editor) and she felt that I should apply.<br />
<br />
Well... I did apply, and I did get the job.<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I just realized it has been since the 10th of May that I made an entry here and figured it was about time to say something... anything really... so here goes.<br />
<br />
Summer has been too hot and too drunk. God damn humidity!!! On the plus side, we just had AC installed in my office... unfortunately, it only worked for the first day so now it's back to sweating from places I didn't know I could sweat from.  But the out look is good, should have a new one kicking soon.<br />
<br />
Haven't been doing much photography lately either... gonna get back to it as soon as I get a new lense and figure out why my camera is sketching out.<br />
<br />
Just a few more hits until 30,000<br />
<br />
God damn it I rule.<br />
<br />
Best regards,<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ Do you understand digital cameras or know a lot about them??? Then I need your help ASAP<br /><br />I'm supposed to do a wedding this weekend. A very good friend of mine is getting married. I was going to use my D70 digital SLR to shoot it.<br />
<br />
Unfortunetaly, something has gone wrong with my lense. It's locks on me and I can't get it to zoom in or out. I don't understand why... but I don't have time to get it fixed before the wedding.<br />
<br />
In anycase... the lense that came with the D70 is an 18 to 70. If I were to substitute it for my 28 to 80 lense from a Nikon F80... would I run into any problems... is there anything I should know???<br />
<br />
Fill me in ASAP<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ ------ UPDATE<br />
I was worried over nothing. Charlie is such a little trooper man. I think in her mind she's thinking "Fuck it.. I didn't need 4 legs anyway... that one was just slowing me down... now that I'm lighter and more aero-dynamic, no ones gonna beat me in a foot race." Although she still has a bit of trouble sometimes, she makes up for it in PILES of confidence. <br />
<br />
<img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />
<br />
It's pretty remarkable to see her really. We brought her for her first walk since she had the surgery, across the trainbridge in Fredericton. I don't even think anyone really noticed, and she most certainly didn't care. She had a good jog, but was probably a little tired by the end. All that hoppin'<br />
<br />
In anycase, I wanted to once again thank everyone for supporting muh little tripod and helpin me keep my chin up. It was pretty hard for a while, which I'm sure any pet owner out there can completely understand.<br />
<br />
Pics of my weird lookin' doggie to come as soon as the fur grows back around where there used to be a leg. <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/w/wink.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=";)" title=";) (Wink)" /><br />
<br />
------ UPDATE<br />
<br />
I GOT MY DOGGIE BACK!!!! Well... most of her anyway. The right back leg is just a memory to her now, and she's already learning how to deal quite well... she was up and down the stairs the second she got home, without even a second glance. To be honest, I think the lamp shade over her head to keep her from licking the wound is causing her more grief than the loss of a leg. Hopefully she'll heal quickly and we won't have to keep it on her all that long. <br />
<br />
It's strange... they took everything. I mean, there is nothing left of her leg, whatsoever. I figured they were going to leave her with a stub or something... but the took the whole thing, leaving nothing of her leg at all. When it heals over and the fur grows back, I think it'll look like she never even had a leg to begin with. It's rather strange and not at all what I was expecting.<br />
<br />
Anyway... more to come soon...<br />
<br />
thanks very much for all the support!!<br />
<br />
Pics to come soon tooooo <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/s/smile.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" /><br />
<br />
------ UPDATE<br />
<br />
Charlie had her surgery and it went really well. The vet is keeping her for a day or two to keep an eye out for infections and to make sure she gets all the sleep that she needs right now in order to get her strength back and heal.<br />
<br />
Turns out we did the right thing for sure. The cancer that the doctor had figured he removed about 99% of was already starting to grow back to the point where he didn't even need a microscope to see the reoccurence. Agressive little bug. <br />
<br />
In any case... I'll update again when she gets home.<br />
<br />
Thanks to everyone for the love and support. It means the world.<br />
<br />
------ Aug 21<br />
<br />
A few weeks ago, I brought my dog charlie to the vet. She had a lump on her back and this weird, bubbly thing growing on her back paw. The vet removed the lump, and it tested negative. Unfortunetaly, the bubbly thing growing on her paw turned out to be cancer. The vet told us that he was able to remove about 99% of the growth, but that it was cancer and that it was in the second of three stages. The second stage is very aggressive, but still very treatable. The only way that we could be certain Charlie would be alright is if we amputate her leg above the knee joint. It was a tough choice but...<br />
<br />
... Charlie girl goes for her last four legged walk sometime later this evening. From there, I guess we'll just have to wait and see how she adapts.<br />
<br />
I feel sad for my puppy. She's gonna go into the vet all happy (she actually likes the vet, he's pretty nice to her) and when she wakes up, she's going to realize that we took her leg. It's strange isn't it? She'll have absolutely no understanding. After nine years of having 4 legs, she'll wake up with three. Why? Where did the leg go? What is she going to understand when she tries to scratch the side of her head for the first time and there is nothing? <br />
<br />
I just hope she understands on some level that we did it for her own good. My girl means the world for me.<br />
<br />
If nothing else, she'll be good for some nice pictures <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/b/biggrin.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":D" title=":D (Big Grin)" /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I do not know if this is happening to everyone else, or just myself. Every day, I get at least three different emails, all stating the same thing; that on August 27th, Mars will be closer to the earth than it has ever been, and will not be this close again for another 290 some odd years. They say that the earth will appear to have two moons on that night. So many people believe this to be true. Come on people . . .  if you cannot figure it out for yourselves, than allow me to provide the common sense for you.<br />
<br />
On any clear night, look up in the sky and find the brightest bodies. If they are large and white, you are probably looking at Venus or Polaris. We are looking for something red here . . .  oops, nope . . .  that's the space station . . .  look more that way . . .  yep . . .  see that unimpressive red star looking thing there . . .  good . . .  that's Mars.<br />
<br />
That is just about how big Mars is going to get. Maybe a tad bigger when it makes its close approach in October, but never bigger or brighter than Venus. The global implications if Mars were to approach close enough to the earth to appear the size of the moon would be catastrophic. For those of you who can't consider said ramifications, picture the tsunami that recently occurred in the Indian Ocean. Now, imagine that happening everywhere at once, times a billion. This is what would happen if Mars were actually that close to us. That is, if we weren't thrown completely out of orbit and either froze because of our sudden increased distance from the sun or our slow burn because of our approach. If Mars were to be close enough to appear the size of the moon, it would have to move so far out of its own orbit that everything in the solar system would be thrown out of whack (for you religious folks, what this would mean, is that all of Gods careful planing and balancing of the solar system would be thrown off . . .  and since god does not make mistakes, it's impossible, right?)<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ All Canadians should be very proud today. As of last night, the final reading on the bill to change the definition of marriage to include same sex couples was read and passed. Now all it needs to do is clear the senate and get rubberstamped by the governer general (all technicalities) and Canada will officially be one step closer to offering equal rights to all citizens of this fine country. <br />
<br />
It's a great step forward, especially considering we are only the third country in the world to allow such marriages to take place. In a democracy, everyone deserves to be equal and this is a step in the right direction, because now, as a country, we no longer infringe on the rights of gay and lesbian couples who love each other and we no longer rank them second class citizens who are not equal with heterosexuals.<br />
<br />
Thumbs up, you fruity assed bastards; may you all enjoy your new freedom and rights. Welcome to the 21st century, nice to see ya'll leaving the stone age behind.<br /><br /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
Alright people... say it with me... "HOOOOOO - DIN!!!"<br />
<br />
now say it fast... Hoodin<br />
<br />
It is not, I repeat, not pronounced "HOOD - IN"... <br />
<br />
Like the sound an owl makes or a the word that is used as a relative pronoun to introduce a clause when the antecedent is a person(s) or one to whom personality is attributed: <i>the person <b>who</b> came to visit yesterday was <b>Hoo</b>din</i><br />
EASY RIGHT???<br />
<br />
Who??? Hoodin!!! <b>WHO</b> <i>HOO</i> <b>WHO</b> <i>HOO</i> <b>WHO</b> <b><i>HOODIN!!!</i></b><br />

Not Hood... there is no Hood<br /><br /><br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I just don't understand it. Everyone  gets so angry so easily these days. No  one can relax... no one can take a  joke.<br />
<br />
You can't make a silly comment to a  co-worker for fear that the third  person listening in may take offence to  it. If one person tells a joke to 100  people at work, and 99 of them laugh,  and 1 gets offended by it, the person  who told the joke can lose their job or  at least be reprimanded for  harrasement... doesn't it make more  sense to fire the freak who can't take  a joke, and give a promotion to the guy  who used humor to raise moral in the  office???<br />
I dunno... makes more sense to me.<br />
<br />
People...!!! Please!!! Stop getting  upset when someone says something you  don't agree with. It doesn't matter...  it's not life or death my friends, it's  just words. Have a sense of humor,  learn how to take a joke, roll with a  jab and throw one back. Don't let it  get personal of course, but don't lose  your mind over something you hear third  party.<br />
<br />
If you can throw a few jabs, make sure  you can take a few jabs. And if someone  jabs you first, make a little jab back,  rather than cry about it.<br />
<br />

                <description><![CDATA[ I just can not figure it out. There is  so much in this so called, "The Good  Book" that makes me sick to my stomach.  Why people support this book, or this  God, or any bit of this religion is  beyond me. I will list out a few key  items in the form of question and  answer, and even go so far as to use  biblical passages to back up everything  I say. If anyone can speak to them,  please respond to me. Because as it  stands, it is completely beyond me.  Especially for you ladies out there who  believe in this religion, and believe  God loves you??? What is wrong with you  ladies??? Do you crave abuse? Read this  list and tell me that you are not  DISGUSTED by it.<br />
<br />
I  mean, people use the bible to  condemn homosexuals and other items  considered plagues in society today.  People take the bible and say "Marriage  is between one man and one woman... the  bible says so... homosexuals are  sinners and they should not be allowed  to marry because it says so in the  bible." Well, by pointing out all of  the other things it says in the bible,  I'm hoping to help these people  understand that you can't base the  decisions you make and how you live  your life in this day and age on rules  and laws that were written over 1500  years ago. If you want to say that the  bible proclaims gays can not marry and  use the book to justify it, then you  also have to use it to condone the  beating of slaves and the stoning of  women.<br />
<br />
<br />
---------------------------------------- -----------------<br />
<b>Q - What is the penalty for working on  the Sabbath?</b><br />
<i><b>A - You will be put to death. Seems  excesesive, but it's what the bible  calls for.</b><i> <br />
"Six days shall work be done, but on  the seventh day there shall be to you  an holy day, a sabbath of rest to the  Lord: whoseoever doeth work therein  shall be put to death. Ye shall kindle  no fire throughout your habitations  upon the sabbath day." (Exodus 35:2)<br />
---------------------------------------- -----------------<br />
<b>Q - What happens if you are not a  virgin on your wedding night?</b><br />
<i><b>A - You will be put to death. Well...  if you're a woman, that is. It's  alright for men. </b></i><br />
"If any man take a wife, and go in unto  her . . . and say, I took this woman,  and when I came to her, I found her not  a maid . . . and the tokens of  virginity be not found for the damsel:  Then they shall bring out the damsel to  the door of her father's house, and the  men of her city shall stone her with  stones that she die . . ." (Deuteronomy  22:13-21) <br />
---------------------------------------- -----------------<br />
<b>Q - According to the bible, who created  evil?</b><br />
<b><i>A - God created evil of course. Every  genocide, every murder, every evil act  ever done... millions of jews killed in  the holocaust, 800000 Tutsi killed in  Rwanda... that's all the work of God.  Don't believe me? Well... why not see  what God says in the Bible. </i></b><br />
"I form the light, and create darkness:  I make peace, and create evil: I the  Lord do all these things." (Isaiah  45:7) Now we know who to blame.<br />
---------------------------------------- -----------------<br />
<b>Q - What is the role of women in the  church and in life in general?</b><br />
<b><i>A - TO KEEP YOUR DAMN MOUTH SHUT AND DO  AS YOUR MAN TELLS YOU!!! Now don't get  mad at me... that's what the bible says.</i></b>  <br />
"Let your women keep silence in the  churches: for it is not permitted unto  them to speak; but they are commanded  to be under obedience, as also saith  the law. And if they will learn any  thing, let them ask their husbands at  home: for it is a shame for women to  speak in the church." (I Corinthians  14:34-35) <br />
"I would have you know that the head of  every man is Christ; and the head of  the woman is the man; and the head of  Christ is God." (I Corinthians 11:3) <br />
"Wives, submit yourselves unto your own  husbands, as it is fit in the Lord."  (Colossians 3:18) <br />
"Let the woman learn in silence with  all subjection. But I suffer not a  woman to teach, nor to usurp authority  over the man, but to be in silence." (I  Timothy 2:11-15)<br />
<b>OUCH!!! That's rough ladies!!! But  don't worry... you can still talk to  me!!!</b><br />
---------------------------------------- -----------------<br />
<b>Q - What happens if a man rapes an  engaged virgin in the city, and no one  hears anything?</b><br />
<b><i>A - They are both stoned to death.</i></b> <br />
"If a damsel that is a virgin be  betrothed unto an husband, and a man  find her in the city, and lie with her;  Then ye shall bring them both out unto  the gate of the city, and ye shall  stone them with stones that they die;  the damsel, because she cried not,  being in the city; and the man, because  he hath humbled his neighbour's wife:  so thou shalt put away evil from among  you." (Deuteronomy 22:23-24)  <br />
<b>WOW!!!!!! Let's hope she wasn't... ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This is going to be rather boring...  unless you're quite out of 'er, or just  exceptionally bored, don't bother  reading this one.<br /><br />Firstly, I just wanted to thank  everyone who has been coming to my page  as of late. My views have gone up by  over 1000 in the last 4 or 5 days,  which is incredible!!! Also, I've had  several new favorites, and my watches  have jumped by 13 people making it a  grand total of 60 people watching me.<br />
<br />
I'm very flattered. I couldn't do it  without the help of really pretty girls  willing to stand and smile for me!<br />
<br />
Secondly... I've managed to pick all my  course except one for each semester.  Nothing really notable... but a few  people have been asking me about my  second year course choices, so I  decided I'd just post them here, and  when people try to strike up  conversation with me, I'll give them  this link so that I won't have to speak  with them anymore. <br />
<br />
- The Study of Literature (English)<br />
- Journalistic Writting <br />
- Introduction to Criminology <br />
- Human Rights <br />
- Photojournalism (I can't wait for  this one!!!)<br />
- Human Evolution (Anthropology)<br />
* I'll update this list when I pick my  final course(s).<br /><br />Thanks again for reading!!! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ This is a quote by Hermann Goering. It  was uttered at the Nuremburg Trials at  the end of World War 2. <br />
Isn't it funny the way the Nazi's  convinced the Germans to go to war is  basically the same way Bush convinced  you to all support his war??? Think  about it!!! Seriously... for your own  good, think about it!!! <br />
Read this quote in full and think about  it!!!<br /><br /><b>"Why of course the people don't want  war. Why should some poor slob on a  farm want to risk his life in a war  when the best he can get out of it is  to come back to his farm in one piece?  Naturally the common people don't want  war neither in Russia, nor in England,  nor for that matter in Germany. That is  understood. But, after all, it is the  leaders of the country who determine  the policy and it is always a simple  matter to drag the people along,  whether it is a democracy, or a fascist  dictatorship, or a parliament, or a  communist dictatorship. Voice or no  voice, the people can always be brought  to the bidding of the leaders. That is  easy. All you have to do is tell them  they are being attacked, and denounce  the peacemakers for lack of patriotism  and exposing the country to danger. It  works the same in any country."</b><br /><br />Get it yet people...? The leaders make  the policies and drag you all blindly  along... convince you all you are under  attack (telling you Iraq has weapons...  which of course they don't) and  denounce everyone else as unpatriotic  or as the enemy (If you're not with us,  you're with the terrorist)...<br />
<br />
Geez, it's so easy it should send  chills down your spine!!! Doesn't it???  Quit blindly following your gov't...  ask some questions!!! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Yep... that's right. 1500+ young  American's who will never be home to  kiss their mothers on X-Mas morning.  Who will never see their kids grow up.  Christ... a big chunck of them, not  even old enough to enjoy a beer.<br />
<br />
1300+ of which who have been killed  since the end of major combat was  declared. 1500 young men and women, who  could have contributed to the growth of  their country in someway other than  dying due to the greed of those in  power. <br />
<br />
But hey... Iraqi's are voting now, so  that makes it all worth while... right?  <br />
<br />
I refuse to say 'support the troops',  because unfortunetaly, I do not support  anyone who is in the business of  pointing a gun at another person and  taking their life with it. Fuck the  troops, fuck the people killing other  people because of the greed of those in  power, fuck anyone who supports this  war of greed... you have ZERO  justification for it.<br />
<br />
No matter what anyone ever says to me  in response to this journal entry, one  thing will not change. 1500 people left  your country because of Bush... they  kissed their friends, husbands, wives,  brothers, sisters and children  goodbye... and now they will NEVER be  coming back to kiss them again...  NOTHING can justify this.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<br />
I've had as many hits on my DA page as  there are years since Christ last  roamed the earth. And I did it in two  months.<br />
<br />
I bet you not even Jesus himself would  have done as well... I'm bigger than  the Beetles and I'm bigger than  Jesus... LOOK AT MY PICTURES <img src="http://e.deviantart.com/emoticons/letters/=p.gif" width="15" height="15" alt=":P" title=":P (Lick)" /><br />

                <description><![CDATA[ That's right ya'll...<br />
<br />
Hoodin is gettin' with it. And it's  only gonna cost him about $1300.00 CDN  after taxes.<br /><br />That's right... $1300.00 CDN will  include my brand new Nikon D70 digital  SLR, a nice 17-70 lense, and of course  a 1 gig memory card. That's a pretty  unbeatable deal. I found myself quite  the bargain, considering the photoshop  downtown was asking $1588.00 before  taxes, and that was without including a  memory card.<br />
<br />
Don't try to stop me... I'm fucking  doin' it... see ya later regular film  carrying SLR.<br /><br />So yeah... Hoodin's goin' digital... I  am the Matrix.<br />
<br />
This is so great... no more having to  get embarassing pictures developed...  HAHAHAHA, it's a celebration bitches...  I'm Rick James!!!  <br />
<br />
p.s - I hope my SLR didn't hear that...  it knows it will always be my true  love!!! ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ Well... I did it. I wanted 1000 hits in  my first month on DA and I had almost  1400. Thanks a bunch to everyone who  stopped by to check out my pictures!!!<br />
<br />
I'm gonna have to get out there and get  some new shots soon. I've lost all my  photographic inspiration and motivation  as of late and it's just so farking  cold outside. There was only one of my  models who had the balls to take  outdoor shots this time of year, and  now she lives about 3000 KM away. 3000  Kilometers is approximately "1760 rods  to the hogs head" for moronic Americans  who can't realize how much sense the  metric system makes. Bases everything  around zero with increments of 10...  yikes... complicated.... hehehe change  is scary though.<br />
<br />
Anyway... a thanks to everyone once  again!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ FUCK YEAH!!! Team Canada beats Team  Russia for the Gold medal in the World  Junior Hockey Championship... 6-1.  Russia beat out the US in the  semi-finals, and then the Czechs beat  the US in the Bronze medal game. Russia  takes Silver. <br />
<br />
As much as this journal entry goes out  to all Canadians, a nod to the  Americans as well... it was a rough  break for your team in the semi-final  game against Russia, (for the 8 people  in the US who even knew there was a  tournament going on, in the US no  less...) and we got those commie  bastards back for you, as you  requested. You folks had a much better  team then the 4th place finish showed.  It's a shame more people in your  country don't support this tournament  the way they should.<br />
<br />
Anyway... FUCK YEAH TEAM CANADA!!!!<br />
GOLD!!!<br /><br /> ]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[ I have until the 8th of January to  generate another 110 hits. My goal is  to have 1000 hits in my first month on  DA... that would be pretty fucking  awesome. I dunno why I have such an  obsession with getting site hits... it  makes me feel really happy I guess. <br />
<br />
Happy New Years to all!!!<br />

(psst... hey Ashe... if I get  desperate, can I pull the hit  generating secret weapon off the top  closet shelf??? hehehehe)<br /><br /> ]]></description>
