Aparently some moron thought it would be funny to toss a keg into a fire. A pot smoker would never do such a stupid thing. This is just one more bit of evidence to support my case that pot is a much better recreational drug than alcohol! Click here for the story.
(Ottawa) Leaders from Canada's two largest denominations are treading the hallways on Parliament Hill today, presenting two differing views on a government plan to revisit the legalization of same-sex marriage.
On the one side are the Roman Catholic Church and a dozen socially conservative evangelical groups urging members of Parliament to vote to re-open the marriage debate and support repeal of the law enacted last year by the former Liberal government.

This song pretty much sums up the way that I have been feeling for the past week. Part of the lyrics go like this:
“I don’t wanna think, I don’t wanna feel nothing.
I wanna be numb.
I don’t wanna feel this pain no more, wanna lose touch.
I just wanna go lock the door.
I don’t wanna think, I don’t wanna feel nothing.
This is an ongoing human security project which maintains and updates the world’s only independent and comprehensive public database of media-reported civilian deaths in Iraq that have resulted from the 2003 military intervention by the USA and its allies. The count includes civilian deaths caused by coalition military action and by military or paramilitary responses to the coalition presence (e.g. insurgent and terrorist attacks). It also includes excess civilian deaths caused by criminal action resulting from the breakdown in law and order which followed the coalition invasion.
Results and totals are continually updated and made immediately available here and on various IBC web counters which may be freely displayed on any website or homepage, where they are automatically updated without further intervention. Casualty figures are derived from a comprehensive survey of online media reports from recognized sources. Where these sources report differing figures, the range (a minimum and a maximum) are given. This method is also used to deal with any residual uncertainty about the civilian or non-combatant status of the dead. All results are independently reviewed and error-checked by at least three members of the Iraq Body Count project team before publication.

I just took this shots from the balcony.
Eight months later, despite a few indiscretions on both our parts, I'm happy as can be. But I don't think we're in the same place emotionally. I need him – well, actually I neeeeed him – and he "needs his space." I don't want to date anyone else, and I fear that if we were to split up I'd revert to the sexual deviant I was, and he'd do the same.
