...I may not be in school, but...

...I can still have an opinion about some of the things that go on there, especially if they affect me in some way. So I hear that the rule that you can't be in an outside show if you're in a university show was a rumor. That's great. Awesome. And I hear that my buddy has a different acting prof right now for his 4th year class because the prof who he's supposed to have is down at the coast workshopping a play she wrote with four others. Good for her. Don't get me wrong I love this instructor, I love all of the theatre profs at TRU. They've been great to me. I completely support her in her endeavors and I hope that they have fun workshopping a play. You go, girl.

What I DO NOT support is that this prof has been allowed to leave her job for a week or two, or more (how long she's gone for I do not know), while three members of Saucy Fops: The Musical? WERE NOT allowed to miss the first two weeks of school while we did the Vancouver run. One of them was allowed to, but with much hassle. Need I remind you that these students only need to worry about themselves and their studies (one individual) while an instructor has responsibility over 30 or 40 students (many individuals). This double standard outrages me.

As I said, I'm not a student any more. And as I said, I love those teachers and support them. But it's not okay with me if those students have rules put on them that the instructors are allowed to bypass. If they could have done the Vancouver run, then this whole issue I have would not exist.

...this may be old news but...

...some things can not just be let go of. Does everyone remember how the premier of this province, Mr. Gordon Campbell, was arrested in Hawaii for drunk driving? I do. And while everyone says that we should let go of the past and look towards the future, I disagree by saying the past is where the facts are. This man is the political leader of B.C. As we all know, drinking and driving is ILLEGAL. Sure, people make mistakes, but they should not be making these kind of mistakes when they are LEADERS. I don't care what you did before you were in office, but it's time to grow up. And if memory serves, he was let off the hook. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, if he was busted for drinking and driving, there'd be a jail sentence involved. Come on, drinking and driving kills people. If this man can't obey the law, how can he run our province? What other crimes can these people get away with? If you're rich and the leader of a province, territory or nation, does that mean that you can get away with murder? Child molestation? Insider trading? They already get away with theft every day. Man, I can't wait until I'm one of the upper class and I can get away with anything I want. And if I'm popular enough, the mass public will forget about it in a couple years, and if it's brought up again, others will say, "Oh that's old news. It's in the past." What a bullshit fucking world.

...you're not going to believe this but...

For those of you who know me, you know that I am tall and lanky, a scrawny dude. 6 months ago I was blessed with the knowledge that I have reached the weight of 180 lbs. Today, I was blessed again to hear that I, creator of the Stu Dance, have reached the big two oh oh el bee es. That's right, 200 lbs. Be proud, but be scared. Cause this tubby lank is hungry and may come for you!
