No Church In The Wild (feat. Frank Ocean) - Jay-Z & Kanye West
It felt like the end of the world, the apocalypse, the end of all things. And all I could think just then was ‘what would Brian do?’…
He would know what to do with me, he would know what to do and what not to say. He always had. He probably always would have if I hadn’t left him for that synthetic love affair that had faded and fast as the capricious roses it was constructed of. But I knew now that I didn’t want a rose. I wanted a weed- a weed whose roots went down so deep it would come back no matter how many times you ripped it up.
Did Brian’s roots go down that deep?
” —.. who genuinely don’t give a fuck. The kind of girls who dress the way they want, say what they want, and eat what they want. I love being around girls who make most females…and males…uncomfortable, who hold their head up high, demand respect, but are still ready to put the asshole in his place without missing a beat. Those are the kinds of people who make me feel normal. Girls should be ladylike, but never hesitate to say what’s on their mind. To me, that’s femininity-to exude confidence and intelligence in demeanor, not in ego.
“I’m a Canadian.
We’re a quiet bunch; prone to enjoying hockey, drinking stronger beer than our friends south of the border, and lovers of fries smothered in cheese curds and gravy.
We also, apparently, have an inferiority complex when it comes to being evil dirt bags, because we’ve decided to pass our very own version of SOPA up here.
Only better*
Meet Bill-C11. Formerly Bill C-32. (I think they thought if they made the number lower people would care less about it?)
{…}
But, as innocuous as it sounds, C-11 does a whole lot that SOPA did with a few extra twists you might not find in the Wikipedia write-up.
Like your PVR? You can’t keep it under C-11.
Like ripping CDs to your iPod? Say bye-bye.
Hey, do you want to be able to unlock your $500 smartphone and take it to a provider less dedicated to violating your wallet? That won’t be allowed either.
Did you get accused of internet piracy but no evidence has been presented and a trial date hasn’t even been set? Under C-11 your ISP will now be forced to terminate your internet access.
And people say that governments can’t be bought.

Come on non-Canadian people, please signal boost this for your Canadian friends.
I hated myself then for not being able to voice the words in my head that were desperately seeking release; ‘I’d rather be here with you when you need me than with some trick whose name I can’t even remember.’ ‘I needed to know that you were OK because I’m so fucking scared of losing you again.’ ‘I would always leave because of you.’ ‘I…Love…You.’
But I couldn’t say that. I wouldn’t say that.
