Love The Way You Lie ~ Eminem feat. Rihanna

 

Love The Way You Lie, the new song by Eminem featuring Rihanna is making headlines for being the most viewed video in a 24 hour period on Youtube and for (some say) glorifying domestic abuse. The video also features Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox as a troubled couple.

Another Brick In The Wall (Hey Ayatollah, Leave Those Kids Alone!)

 

I've always loved this song and Blurred Vision's version is fantastic! Please visit their website and download the song from itunes. Half of all sales will be donated to Amnesty International. This is the video from Toronto band Blurred Vision currently sweeping the net. It's their rendition (Roger Waters approved, no less!) of Pink Floyd's Another Brick In The Wall hit.

A Week In La belle Province

We are off to Quebec City this week and will be enjoying Canyon Sainte-Anne and doing  some fun stuff.  Thanks to my Mom for the Aventure X Gift. There is a zip line and some pretty amazing scenery according to the website. I will take pictures too.
Thanks to Andrew (maybe) for organizing the Montreal party. We are really excited and curious about what surprises await us. Following that we are heading to Montreal for our Big Gay Stag & Stag party and Divers/Cite, Montreal's Gay Pride celebration.

Green Party Leader Biking to Montreal To Support AIDS Charity

Green Party of Ontario leader Mike Schreiner is raising funds for PWA (People With AIDS) Toronto by taking part in the 12th Annual Bike Rally. The ride takes these fearless fundraisers from Toronto to Montreal. I wish you well Mike. Please join me in supporting Mike by making a donation today.

This is timely considering the International AIDS Conference which took place in Vienna this year ended today, and of course once again our esteemed Prime Minister, Stephen Harper made the news, or didn't when he and his Health Minister were publicly (and rightly so) reprimanded by Dr. Julio Montaner, the Canadian head of the International AIDS Society.

From CBC.CA 

 In his closing address to the International AIDS Conference in Vienna on Friday, conference chief Dr. Julio Montaner slammed Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq.
"I would also like to have a special word of recognition to the prime minister of Canada, Mr. Stephen Harper … for demonstrating, yet again, their incredible ability to take credit where none is due."
Montaner, one of Canada's most prominent AIDS researchers, said the federal government is "punching well below its weight" in funding international efforts to fight the disease and isn't doing enough to protect Canadians from its spread.  Read the full story here.

Four Years and a New Look

If you come here often, and I hope you do. You will have noticed a few changes in the past few weeks.

the Daye. as it is now known began as The Word of The Daye or WOTD in July of 2006 with the announcement that it was to begin in October of 2006. Why three months to prepare? I can't say, although it seems strange now, I think I was trying to come up with a topic.

I am happy to report, however, that if you look at this you will see I not only DID post the next entry on October 1, 2006, I even made of a funky WOTD logo to go with the first WOTD, which for the record was; abrogate.

Since that initial WOTD this blog as morphed and become what you see today. For awhile there was regular POTD, or Place of The Daye posts with screenshots from Google Earth. There was the Southpark character  creator and there were various causes, holidays and things. One of the most viewed posts ever is the We Tour America Scam post, which still gets regular daily traffic. I guess that guy is still scamming America.

Sunday In The Park Dancers

This is a little video I shot of dancers performing a traditional African harvest dance (I forget which country) at Sunday In The Park a couple of weeks ago. I'm experimenting with shooting some video myself rather than having to call upon my professional talent.

A better camera or at least a tripod will certainly be employed next time, but I'm very, very happy with the video intro that David has created for me.

What do you think?
