The Canoe Museum?!?
I just saw an interesting news story on Newsworld. Apparently there’s a museum in Peterborough called The Canadian Canoe Museum!
Since I was a little boy I’ve loved canoes and canoeing! My dad started me young with canoe trips into lost swamps and forgotten rivers. (In fact, I still remember the day he bought our first canoe!) I loved exploration trips! Down old roads no-one remembered anymore to drop a canoe in the river; multi-day overnight trips with trail mix, sleeping bag, tent, jack-knife, and all the other essential tools of camping. These are some of my fondest memories.
So when I heard the museum was in Peterborough, I sat up! Joanne and I are visiting near Peterborough on our tenth anniversary! Maybe we could make it a day-trip to wander through the aisles and reminisce a memory or two?
But there’s bad news. Apparently the Mad Cow scare “mooed” away tourists, and last October the board of directors regrettfully closed things up. How sad! I would have loved to poke around corners and see the beautiful, hand-crafted exhibits— many of which have been built by aboriginal peoples!
So I guess we’ll have to save that for our next trip to Peterborough. Maybe everyone will have forgotten about Cows (and chicken-flus) by then and we can enjoy a great cultural icon.

Finally Finished
Rating: 3.5 Stars
I finished Grapes of Wrath about three days ago… what a strange book.
I’ve heard so much about this work that I thought there was something really amazing here. I’d heard it was Steinbeck’s best.
My final opinion after finishing it is that it’s not— not by far. East of Eden is way better, as is The Pastures of Heaven. This is more like his worst.
It’s not that he doesn’t have lots to say… he makes important comments about who we are as a human race, the reality of the bottom line, how insane we are to waste excess food while millions starve. The very essence of captilism is under critique, and he does this very well.
But he doesn’t go anywhere with it! I prefer stories that take us from start to finish. This one ends with the main characters in the same predicament they were at the start. In fact, if anything, they’re worse off.
This isn’t a pleasure read, this is more of a duty read. We should know what happened in the U.S. during this time period, and we should think about our personal perspectives wth regard to the poor.
So I recommend this book with slight warning. You’ll probably not enjoy it, but you won’t regret reading it either. If you can handle the lack of resolution, maybe you’ll really like it!

Bruce Almighty
I’d heard a lot of good things about Bruce Almighty, but I was really blown away by how profoundly the writers/directors/producers handled the subject matter.
This movie unabashedly faces everyone’s issues: why do these crappy things happen in my life? Why is God never around when I really need him? How come my prayers aren’t answered? Why am I here? Why is happiness so elusive?
This is a film which deserves viewing and commendation. Way to go!

Equilibrium - What a Movie
I just saw a terrific movie!
Enter the world of Equilibrium where there is no war, emotions are suppressed, and artistic expression forbidden. The guardians of order are an elite fighting force of Grammaton Clerics who specialize in the martial arts system and code of the Gun Kata. There is nothing they cannot do to enforce the ideals of their society but what would happen if a first class cleric suddenly began to feel?
At first glance this sounds like a typical sci-fi B-movie plot; but hold your gaze— this movie is far from typical. Unlike most futuristic sci-fi flics, this is a wary scan into a likely future.
Emotions illegal? How could that be possible? How could it even be enforced?
I’m sure our ancestors would balk at their future; our current reality. How could we have come this far?
Maybe this is how: a little line given by the narrator at one point in the film gives us insight into how a society could come to a point of outlawing art, music, poetry, love, friendship, caring— FEELING. My friend Austin brought it to my attention— if he had not, I might have overlooked it. The narrator attributes it to the development of ‘hate crime.’ (What the film’s director had to say about that line.)
It makes me think about hate crame— why are we punished for hating? Do we not have a right to feel?
In British Columbia, a pastor can be arrested for reading certain portions of the Bible to his congregation. Here is a very interesting link with more information on hate crimes.
Equlibrium is amazing because it dares to connect the dots. And it describes the worst-case scenario for taking our current attitudes to their logical conclusion.
But it’s amazing for lots of other reasons too! Great special effects, though apparently they spent only $20 million on their budget. If you like to think, and enjoy challenging status quo, then this movie is for you.
If you want light entertainment and wired kung fu, look away. You probably liked Matrix 2 and 3.

Scrabble Deal
Sorry for all the confusion.
I was hoping that more people would make donations over the last year to help support the site but it hasn’t happened. I’ve only had one 5 dollar donation.
I’ve decided to charge $20 per year for a group to play. So you can give your password to all your friend who play and have a game on my site. After a year, the charge will renew.
I figured if four people pay 5 bucks to play for a year they’re getting a deal. If they’re all PayPal users, it’s easy.
Additionally, subscribing gives you one free month, so it’s really a bargain.
Sorry that the code isn’t all in place. I have been busy lately. I’ll try to get it all working right away.

[home/journal] All I could say was this: it’s a DIFFERENT kind of freedom.
We might not even be free here in Canada. Sometimes it feels like I have to be sneaky to get away with it. Like I’m breaking rules to be free. We’re so about rules here.
Finally - I Wish I Was American
Well, finally! My site has been down for the last hour for some unexplained reason, and it just came up now as I was getting ready to go to bed. Figures. And I’m tired.
Oh well, I wanted to refer to Austin Fusilier’s blog of a blog of a blog. But I’ll link right to it.
This guy explains Americans and guns. See, I’m a Canadian, and we’re big-time-gun-control people. And Austin’s an American friend, so I’m suprised and slightly disappointed that he’s pro-guns. But then he’s pro-Mac. Need I say more?
But I found it hard to believe myself agreeing with this guy. Here’s the blog.
Read the whole thing. Settle in for a good 20 minutes.
When I got back to Canada, and people asked me about my five years in the United States, it was so hard to describe! I told them that I liked the US better, that I missed it there… that things were different, that I started out being so nauseatingly pro-Canadian (read anti-American) that I even sickened myself, but eventually started to see things differently. I couldn’t quite explain it.
This is a great quote from this article:
And there is more than the physical restriction of freedoms: There is the slow erosion of self-reliance, self-confidence and self-determination among a nation. The more your government restricts your options, the more you psychologically look to government to keep you safe, fed, clothed, housed and sustained.
See? Read it all.
There is a word for people who are fed, clothed, housed and sustained fully by others, and that word is SLAVES.

Passion Revisited
After watching the movie, we streamed out of the auditorium, and into the foyer. The pre-screening of Mel Gibson’s “The Passion” was held in a large church. It was for church pastors and leadership, so there were all kinds of people milling around, recognizing each other, networking.
It was weird. I heard little snippets of conversation:
“Ya, let’s go grab a bite at McDonalds.”
“Where’d you get that hat?”
“He’s over at 1st Baptist now.”
“She did what in her youth group?”
“They have never wanted to try that again!”
…and so on.
People were stopping each other, noticing each other, crowding around the way we humans so often do when we’re at church; connecting and veneering.
I was a little thrown. We had just seen a brutal — BRUTAL — depiction of Christ’s last days on earth. The crucificion scene was not the worst of it. The whippings, the blood, the gore… it was disgusting. Looking around the foyer, it was as if these people had forgotten all about it seconds after the film was complete.
We Christians remember the cross and use words like victorious, saviour, lamb of God… these are clean words. These are inspiring and beautiful words. These were clean, inspiring, even beautiful people. But what of the gore? What of the disgusting? Did we forget already?
We pre-planned to meet with other staff from our church at a food court nearby. As I walked up to them, the obvious question was asked. “What did you think?!” I enthused.
Scowls. “Ask a specific question.” “That’s too general.” They were obviously troubled about the movie. One person almost fainted from the blood. Another person thought they could never recommend it to their non-Christian friends.
I was really shaken— as I write this now, I realise it’s taken me four days to even process it. I just thought everyone would feel as positive about the movie as I did.
Positive? About wanton violence and glorious gore?
We’ve done this story up like a birthday cake with chocolate icing. The whole point of Jesus’ life was to die for our sins and to suffer on our behalf— in our stead! But the suffer part is forgotten and we remember only plastic crosses and Easter lilies. Of course it’s gruesome! It was one of the most cruel ways to murder another human being, and we all swung the hammer— so to speak. I think we MUST look without blinking, and we must know. We need to be aware of what was done— even if we don’t believe.
Who knows, maybe that’s about to all change for you? If Jesus did that, then why wouldn’t I believe?

Grapes of Wrath IS Postmodern
Grapes of Wrath is particularly interesting in light of my quest to understand modernistic thinking. (My idea is that I’ll better
recognize post-modernism when I’ve truly defined modernism).
It’s SO not like these dusty old books I’ve been reading. They are basically about man dominating his world. But then again, it is like that. **grin**
It’s about the machine of modern efficiency forsaking the caring, human dimension; about a people passed over by mechanization and struggling to survive in that reality; about the soulessness of the bottom line, the pitiful sacrifices “business men” must make to earn a buck.
So it’s in stark contrast to all these other novels, which say, “machines are AMAZING.” It’s post modern, I guess! Neat.

The Passion
I just saw Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ. What a movie! I’m still shaking, my eyes are still sore from crying… crying for two hours!
I defintely recommend this film. It comes out February 26th (I think), so plan on going. It will change how you look at Jesus, and how you think about life. After I’ve processed it more, I’ll write more. I haven’t quite recovered yet.

Hi Jason,
I wanted to leave a post on Joanne’s blog and included a link. I wanted to do a ‘fancy’ link, so like you make them on your blog. I thought I’d use html for that, but that obivously mixed up something else so now it looks dreadful, pls check Joanne’s blog for that.
Can your tell me what code I need to use to include a link in a post here that looks nice ie. had no http://www…. etc stuff but just a clickable link in orange as you make them?
I saw you and your son on the webcam 
only my connection is too slow. Fun to see you two though!
Hi Frederique,

This is living up to it’s Reputation!
Wow. I’m really enjoying this book! It reminds me of “Oh Brother, Where Art Thou,” the movie modernisation of the book, Ulysses— set in the American South.
It’s definitely a page turner, and the characters are unlikely sources of wisdom! This is worth reading— if you haven’t already.

Seth Is Hurt
Last night at the swimming pool our little Seth feel forward in his chair and hit his mouth on the window ledge. He was watching Lucas having swimming lessons.
When he fell, he bit right through his lip! Blood was everywhere… it was so sad to see the little guy in so much pain.
Joanne rushed him to the emergency while I stayed and watched Lucas at the pool. Seth received two stitches just under his bottom lip.
He’s going to be fine. Today he was having a blast in the bath tub, like nothing ever happened. It’s hillarious to see him reliving the event, and trying to describe it to us. What a kid.

Amazing Chruch Web Site
I was looking for the email of the author of a book I’m about to start reading, called
In the process of this search I found the web site for the church he works for. I was really impacted by the video on this page.
Be warned: the video takes some time to download, even on a business DSL connection— which is what I’m using here at work. But it’s so worth the wait.
It’s a media rich video clip, in which he compares our inward drive and quest to really accomplish something in life with Superman— who was a hero not because of all he did, but what he did not do.
This is worth a viewing, I strongly urge you to check out his site.

Pursuit of Pleasure
I just read a blog by my friend Austin, which I found really interesting.
He quoted some historical material about an ancient cult called the Bacchanals. It could have been written yesterday.
—8<— snip
Euripides’ “The Bacchae” has examples:
When the Bacchanals become possessed in The Bacches, they exhibit signs of ecstatic predominance as they start to live in an alternate reality where conscious responsibility, control, and rationality become secondary in importance to following the flow of nature and truly acting in accord with their inner selves. All worldly inhibitions set upon the Bacchanals by society are rendered void, and the initiates become true to their inner guides in life.
Sound familiar yet?
In the end, Dionysus’ character is very simple to describe. The sum of what he has to teach his followers is that they cannot really experience reality unless their basic emotional characteristics are allowed to guide them. The world cannot be seen as it truly is unless one becomes mad in society’s eyes, because a sane mind has closed eyes.
—8<— snip
It reminds me of the book I just read about the differences between Canadians and Americans: Fire and Ice. Though I HATED this book, his self-absorbed perspective of culture was educational— though obviously, that wasn’t his intent. (It’s only available in Canada BTW)
I know I pursue pleasure way more than I think is healthy. It shouldn’t suprise us that this recurring theme appears in history. I think the basic downfall of all humanity is self-absorption. Our own pleasure becomes the driving force for much of what we do.

Moby Dick
Rating: Three Stars
I was surprised at how interesting Moby Dick was— especially at the beginning. Don’t get me wrong— this book is ENDLESS. It goes
on and on and on, until I thought I was going to die before I finished it. Like usual, I read it on my pocket pc, so there was no
sense of accomplishment like a real book that 1. gets more and more dog-eared; and 2. has fewer and fewer pages left to read. It was
an eternity.
But I really did enjoy it. It had the typical modern theme of consumption and control. The characters were determined to control the
whales, and never was remorse expressed for slaying such immense creatures. There were some particularly sad elements to this
effect.
But that is by no means the point of the story. The main anti-character has lost his leg, and with it his mind: he’s now obsessed on
seeking revenge on the white whale which stole it. It seems impossible as time and again, they nearly lose their lives in the
pursuit.
Typical of these old books, there was a lot of explanation about what was going on— and I found myself doubting the plausibility
for much of it. I think one of the things I like about these old stories is the window back in time. The writer expresses what seems
like him to be science. A simple example: they referred to the whale as a fish. Now we know their science in that particular
instance was wrong. There were many other examples like this.
It helps me keep a realistic perspective on what we think is science now-a-days too. In 50 or 100 years, things we take for granted
as true will sound silly. This is post-modernism, folks.
So, I recommend it. You gotta take some time to wade through this, but it’s worth the read.

The Books I Read
I realised recently that I’ve completely overlooked blogging about the books I’m reading. This is fairly fascinating to me, and really deserves some web space. I hope you agree.
I’ve been on a type of quest I guess, to read books I deem to be classic. One person’s classic is usually another person’s bore— I’ve found this to be true already. But maybe some of my like-minded readers will find interest here.
Why read these old books? Well, Moby Dick, for example, seems to be an iconoclast we cannot ignore. Everyone’s read Dracula, right? What about Peter Pan, Tom Sawyer, Tarzan, or the many Jules Vern books?
I’ve found that actually, most people have not read these books— the movies are much more accessable and digestable.
So why bother? Well many of these books were written at the height of what we now refer to as the modern age. The industrial revolution was well underway, and the advance of modernity was inevitable.
I seek to understand the time I live in now by comparing it to the time we just passed through. As post modern jargon replaces modern vernacular, I want to know WHY, and to be able to logically trace back trends and attitudes that have made we p.m.’s (post moderns) what we are today.
Watch here for my book journeys. Hey, these old books are all free now— in the public domain! You can download them from most ebook sites for a dollar or two— (if not free!), or I can send them to you if you ask.
There’s no excuse for not being informed in a time when information is so accessable.
It’s an invitation! Come explore with me.

Our ensemble is getting closer to being an orchestra. If this continues we could pull off big band next year and do the forties!

Finally Got Snow
It was a strange Christmas without snow. Much of the world is green December twenty-five, but not Hamilton, Ontario, Canada! It took some getting used to!
But the snow is finally here, and I spent an hour or so shovelling it off the driveway and sidewalk. It’s good excerise, and if it wasn’t for snow I wouldn’t get excerise in the winter. Shovel, shovel, shovel, or ski, ski, ski.
I’m looking forward to breaking out my new skiis too. I got them at a discount second-hand store, Value Village. Usually just junk there, but they had lots of skiis on the 23rd of December (I guess ‘cause there was no need for them) going for about six bucks WITH poles. COOL!

Train Game Looks DIFFICULT
Well, I started reading the directions for my new 18XX game, and it is really challenging. The direction book is a thick magazine! Between buying private companies or pubic companies or trading stocks in these companies; managing the rise and fall of the stocks; the purchase of railroad track and engines; running trains between cities; making money from successful trips; the advance of technology as new engines come available; this is on intense game!
I spoke to some train lovers at church today. They’re interested in giving this game a shot with me. One thing I’m curious about is writing a cgi script Of the 18XX game. It would be cool to be able to plug different scenarios into the script and have train fans all over the world participate in games.
This might be already available through Railroad Tycoon; if there are any 18XX players out there, let me know what you think.

Joanne bought me a new board game for Christmas called 18XX. I’m really looking forward
to playing it. I believe this one is 1856, and it’s set
in Southern Ontario. The idea is to build a railroad empire while
other people build them too. You buy companies, trade stocks, and
try to dominate the board.

Amazing Day
We really had an amazing New Years!
New Years Eve, Joanne, Shin, Luke and myself stayed up late to watch Lord of the Rings, The Fellowship of the Ring. We finished before midnight and then watched the New York Times Square ball drop. The next morning we were up early to watch the Two Towers, after which Joanne and I went to the theater to see Return of the King.
What a movie! It was really fabulous. I wished I hadn’t read the bash-blog the other day, because it really spoiled it for me. I was watching it with a more critical aire than I would have if I hadn’t seen it. I couldn’t seem to help myself!
But, nevertheless it was so good. I can’t wait to see it again.
