These photos were taken within a two block radius from my own apartment. It is hard enough to walk and not trip let alone if you are having to use a walker or cane. wheeling it isn't much better, many corners have no sidewalk ramp and wheelchair users are forced to stay on the street. Shameful, in a city which supposedly is the best in the world to live in. Perhaps the constant harping on letting addicts have their drugs for free, and lovely places to shoot it too, and their consistently soft conviction on grow-ops is meant to have an ever more drugged and apathetic community who could care less about potholes, and for that matter decent healthcare. It really is shameful, and yet somehow in this very poor part of the city real estate has a single family dwelling set at a value of 600,000 dollar.
A couple of years ago when some big men came and dug up the water mains there was the perfect opportunity to repair the street which thanks to wear and tear now has soft shoulders and crumbling sidewalks. alas a truck came and soft, hot asphalt was tossed over the dirt covered pits and stamped down by big footed men and their shovels, and nothing since. I can imagine how hard it is for an ambulance stretcher to navigate the dirt rubble and loose asphalt. Thanks to the age, poverty and disability levels being terribly high here there are a lot of ambulances, and an even bigger need for decent roads and sidewalks. Of course no Porche owners and the like. My neighbour does have a Mercedes, but it's an older one. somehow I'm having a hard time caring that people in the neighbourhoods that house the "creme de la creme" are having their roads dug up for public transit, hah!
transcendent life through birth existence, experience toil, grief, joy all the colours of passion presented each moment for the reaping youth hesitates considers agonizes
death provides transport to the other side of a stony wall the reaper moves gracefully back and forth delivering essences of friends enemies alike to the other side fear wonders what if I?
more fellow travellers, since passed generations removed from life newly made taking spent mortal remains, most sadly too those with lives far to short grief will wonder why? there not so far from here stands a wall a wall not there when I was young of cold dark stone evoking fear and nostrils sensing the sweetly acrid stench of death I have learned the limits of mortality
the wall of stoney perception what was set in motion is not mortal but eternal so I too shall pass delivered by my new confidant the dark gowned figure through stones of not stone but ether knowing as we are grieved we are also joyfully received as days pass fear grows the reaper now stand closer rarely am I out of the dark figure's gaze time moves only forward and the stones of the wall again reveal they are but ether after all
in the reapers gaze I stand and now look back without fear he now is a familiar a companion encouraging acceptance now as age advances all senses and all colour mindfully yet unhesitatingly mine the wall while marking a line between the mortal and eternal offers joy reuniting spirits of familiar souls to continue in eternity forward here in the mortal world the legacies of lives lived continue in ripples eternity offers no here or there only forever
without fear as I am now all senses all colour unhesitatingly mine each moment a small piece of the eternal in body or ether I am aletta
....but seriously, a lesson in the film business w/ ethics: one MI:III needs double what it spent to truly profit; two only well gotten gains count; three denying speech gives one no right to profit from it; and four Villians make these things anyway and that would be Hoffman's credit. If one person would to get the credit for it all, so if there is nothing but a blank screen then you know that not even the Camera Man or D.O.P. is worthy of any. [More....]
The great deabilitator, fear, and the fear of death; tempered with some occasional naivete, but with a subtle narcissism, causing a greater ironic opportunity to actually die. Inevitability, is a defetist attitude regarding death; the fact is accepting death so simply is an attitude that who ever is calling you to death or even aging is God, is the creator, well there is the biblical saying (a lesson in humility) that if someone comes in God's name, aka claiming to be God, one should not believe him (or epsecially her), for one may have a belief in God but not in anyone or thing claiming to be God.

Story: I was ripped off. I renewed and never got thee renewal back and regret my loyalty to them when I signed farbridges general nomination formes, I should have ripped my card up in their faces then. On any case, I digress back Graham Norton (not the shot-in-the dark talentless comedian who markets purely on "Gay") told me they were disscussing my possible "Naziism," in an e-mail to me, obviously as an excuse better than "He support's GUARD's" position.

A strange new Evilgelical Thing....Seems Cult Like....Then what Born-Again thing Isn't To Me.
Well we have the tickets in our hands and we are going on a mission trip to Cape Town South Africa in less then 2 weeks. This is the mission trip we have been praying for over the last year since I was in Cape Town last April. We are flying first to Toronto then onto Zurich Switzerland. Then we fly to Qatar in the middle east. Then on to Cape Town to start the beginning of our mission trip. Juanita is lodging us for a whole month at her place. Please pray for Normande and I as we go on this mission trip. We will be spending time every year working at a orphanage in South Africa. We will be sending you weekly up dates as to our mission.

[I wish to produce, Vancouver's 1st Annual strippers, streakers, and hookers ball, comeon cut your class. Is there some permit I need to do this, and if so give it me? Please! Anybody with any interest, understanding, beauty, nerve, and resources to bring to the table, for the production of this event please contact me at name=vngp+domain=shaw.ca vngp - Vancouver Nude Garden Party.]
Apples, Oranges, and limes all at once huh? Strippers are professionals who do not screw for a living; Nudists are novices and ametuers (not entertaining or being paid to do so.), and hookers fuck for living. None are the same, quite separate. I don't think this is even permited period, depending on what it entails. Now if Nudity is involved and so on, you might run into major red tape and even get ignored. Unless somehow, like the sex party fellows, you get some pinko Propaganda Ministry Grant and call it an art. [More....]
