Don’t Give Hate a Chance

I’ve updated the link (this time it should work)

Here are some new pics of my CUBE

So I said I would tell you all about BodyWorlds2. Well let me tell you that it is amazing. They’ve literally turned the bodies into PLASTIC. Every imaginable body part, muscle, and bone is displayed in an almost live like manner.

There were a number of exhibits which I found extremely intriguing, however, my favourite exhibit was one in which there was a vertical cross section of an ‘obese’ person. Imagine standing up and being sawed in hald vertically (from bottom to top). The specimen was beside another cross section of a ‘normal’ person. Although the insides were the same size (intestines, lungs, etc) the obese specimen had a good six inches of ‘white’ fatty substance. GROSS! It was easy to see the folds of fat, I think you would have been able to literally lift up fat and expose skin which had not recently seen the light of day.

I would suggest purchasing your ticket online a couple of days before venturing out to the centre.

Parking is around $8, and admission was around $25 (granted you access to both the regular and bodyworlds exhibit).

Good times

Over the weekend Phil and I journeyed up to the Ontario Science Centre in order to grab a glimpse of the soon to be gone BodyWorlds2 exhibit. We ended up arriving at the centre around 12:00, at which time the earliest entrance into BodyWorlds2 was 6:30. I wasn’t driving all the way to the science centre, just to turn back home. We made the decision to catch a couple of movies playing at the OMNIMAX (which is a giant IMAX screen, large enough to cover almost your entire peripheral view).

There were a total of three movies playing, but we were only able to catch two. The one was called Fighter Pilot, and the other was called Mysteries of the Nile. By far, the mysteries of the nile was the superior of the two.

The Ontario Science Centre is going through somewhat of a re-birth with a new Weston Phase 1 exhibit complete, and Phase 2 opening over the summer.

Walking through some of the exhibits conjured up memories of going to the Science Centre with my sister and parents when I was a child. It also brought flashbacks of the 90’s rave scene, when I ventured to the last hullabaloo party ever held at the centre called “Citrus“. If anyone has any information of this event please let me know. Pics would be great.

I will post an article up tomorrow on the actual BodyWorlds2 experience.

So Monday marked the day of Howard Stern’s return to radio in Canada. Now I’m not talking about traditional radio but rather the newbie on the block, satellite radio.

Stern, known for his outrageous topics of real conversation, was ridiculed and censored by the FCC. THe CRTC originally prevented Stern from being able to broadcast his show on the pay-based SIRIUS radio. Due to an overwhelming backlash, Stern is once again being streamed over the airwaves.

Each satellite provider offers an abundance of 100% digital, commercial free music and news stations ranging from Classical to Trance, Dance, HipHop, and R&B.

A basic subscription costs around $12.95/month, and hardware as low as $79. Advanced features like recording capabilities will cost slightly more. One of the SIRIUS models, will actually memorize up to 8 of your favourite songs, and notify you when they are playing on any of the over 100 channels, and with a simple click of a button you can listen to the song.

Thank you for PEACE.
PLUR!

So I went to see Brokeback Mountain on Saturday with Phil, Mom, and DD. What an amazing movie, it strikes a chord with me as the movie dipicted just how much social injustice plagues the vast majority of rural/small town gay people. In fact, in some respect I believe that the events, and feelings of shame still affect a number of closeted gay people all across the world.

The movie is about the inner struggles two men face in overcoming societal norms and pressures. An inner journey of self realization in which decisions of the past will haunt the two men for the remainder of their lives. My mom stated “Everybody in the world should see this movie” – the world would be a better place.

The tragic love story, ended with applause from the vast majority of the moviegowers in the theatre. I give this epic film a five star rating.
