Rebecca X's Diary
 Rene Zellweger put on 20 pounds for her role in Bridget Jones' Diary. Since then, she has lost that weight - and much more.
When I saw her accepting her Golden Globe Award in February, and as she held the statuette in her bony arms, all I could think was "ewwwwwww"! Personally, I think a bit of weight on Zellweger in Bridget Jones made her look more feminine. And the way she looks now - well, let's just say that I think showing ones skeletal structure is not exactly sexy. I mean, which movie did Linda Hamilton look sexier in - Terminator I or II? Still, as much as I feel Zellweger looks much more feminine as Bridget, my own obsession with weight loss continues. For the last couple of weeks, I have existed on a diet of: a granola bar for breakfast, a granola bar with a piece of fruit for lunch and rice or salad for dinner. This was not only precipitated by a compulsion to lose weight, but also by a financial drought I was going through. I have lost 13 pounds in one month. I'm fitting in my size 10 clothes again and my size 8's are sitting in my closet, beckoning. "Soon, my pretties," I tell them. "Very soon."
More Server Woes
While EZ Board is switching servers, Rebecca and I are going through message board withdrawal. After scoring some methadone, I stopped the jitters long enough to find Boobstock, a site devoted to pictures of my favourite part of the body. Alas, it just made me miss the board that much more, since our most popular thread is all about breasts. Which reminds me: Oh Godfader, Where Art Thou? J35u5 has an engaging tale to tell about his experience at a Ralph Nader speech, where he and a friend held up signs which read: "A vote for Nader was a vote for Bush" and "Thanks for a 'spoiled' environment Ralph". On a side note, whenever J35u5 writes about his drug exploits, the mother in me just breaks down and weeps. Bob Barker seems to be back in business, but the messages on his Hoboboard appear to be decimated.  This is a real pisser, especially since he had a good one going about mislabeled songs on Napster. Actually, it was about Bob Dylan, but it led to a discussion on how misinformation is spread when the people who initially upload mp3s are too dumb (or too young) to realize that the Foo Fighters did not record Kung-Foo Fighting, and Stuck in the Middle With You was not by Bob Dylan. The other day I did a search for Bow-Wow-Wow's I Want Candy. After typing in the band's name, I came up with nothing. When I typed in the title, I saw there were several versions by the Go-Go's. Not true, people, not true. The funny thing is, the song was originally done by Strangelove.
Aaaaaaaargh!!!!

Raise A Little Hell
 It has been estimated that crowds of more than 25 - 50,000 people lined the streets in Quebec City to protest The Summit of The Americas. They were greeted by police who literally kidnapped people off the street and used excessive amounts of tear gas to quiet those speaking out about free trade and the destruction of our environment.
The leaders were meeting to discuss The Free Trade Area of Americas (FTAA), an international business deal that would create the world's largest free market zone. The big question in my mind about The Summit of The Americas and the FTAA is: Why is free trade and the economy taking precendence over the state of the environment? Instead of meeting to talk about the economy, why aren't our politicians concerned that the ozone layer is still depleting, that the climate is warming up at an alarming rate and that pollution levels continue to rise? The events occuring in Quebec City have caused me to start re-reading a book that scared the hell out of me when I first read it 5 or 6 years ago: It's A Matter of Survival. Written by Dr. David Suzuki and Anne Gordon, the authors warn that we have just one decade in which to avert the environmental destruction of our planet. They estimate that by the year 2040, millions of people will be wandering around the planet, having been displaced from their homes by droughts and flooding, as the Earth's climate relentlessly warms.  "We think we no longer need nature. We create economic and religious worldviews that put man's enterprise at the center of the universe and layer it with sacred truths that we know now are neither sacred nor true. But the point may be that nature does not need us. There are those who mourn our loss of nature, a loss of the natural beauty we see around us, but the real loss may go unmourned - the real loss may be us. Nature will survive; humanity runs the risk of being written out of the picture...If our leaders among government, industry and workers really see that it's a matter of life and death, a matter of survival, then they will have to act. If the very stuff that we need to breathe, drink and eat hangs in the balance, can we continue to say that economic growth, profit, material goods or even political power are the bottom line?"
Despite the protests, leaders from The Americas signed the agreement and the new free trade zone will take effect by the end of 2005. World leaders, including U.S. President George "Dubya" Bush, hope it will help curb poverty. Demonstrators believe it will do just the opposite. According to the website, stop the FTAA, http://www.stopftaa.org/: • The FTAA allows corporations to bypass democratically adopted environmental or worker protection laws, increasing corporate power while endangering the lives of millions of people, disproportionately affecting women and people of color. • The FTAA threatens to commodify our lives by turning over the control of our schools, electricity, water, and food to corporations whose only interest is more profit. • The FTAA is being negotiated in secret. Initiated in 1994 by the 34 countries of North and South America (excluding Cuba), governments have included the business sector in FTAA talks every step of the way, but have kept the text of the treaty secret from regular people and their elected representatives. 50 members of the US House of Representatives have written to the Bush administration demanding that the text be released.  As scary as the images of tear gas, fences being toppled and people rioting may look on television (and, as usual, the television media are completely sensationalizing everything) it's nice to see that Canadians are not as apathetic as everyone thinks. Sure, there were protestors there from all over the world, but there had to have been a helluva lot of Canadians there too.
If protests like this continue around the world, maybe the people can take back the planet, before it's too late.
We are undergoing major change, so please bear with us and excuse any broken links and pictures. Hang out on the message board, I hear they're serving drinks.
My doctor prescribes me medical marijuana to get high
 It's 4:20. What does it matter? I think it's an excellent time for people to break free from their fears and discuss a subject which is taboo in many circles. Even if you don't smoke marijuana, why not take some time today to think about those who benefit from the drug.
What really sickens me is the government denies medical marijuana to people suffering from cancer, glaucoma, arthritis, AIDS, Multiple Sclerosis and other diseases and conditions. This is changing in Canada, however, but to what extent is yet to be seen. I've just been thinking of my mom, who died of cancer when I was 26. She went through hell with chemotherapy, and now I only wish I'd been a big pothead so I could have helped alleviate her suffering. She was very straight-laced, but might have tried it considering the amount of pain she was in. Some info on 4:20 (keep in mind this is from USA Today, so take it for what it's worth):
Let me run with you tonight I'll take you on a moonlight ride There's someone I used to see But she don't give a damn for me But let me get to the point, let's roll another joint And turn the radio loud, I'm too alone to be proud You don't know how it feels You don't know how it feels to be me People come, people go Some grow young, some grow cold I woke up in between A memory and a dream So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint Let's head on down the road There's somewhere I gotta go And you don't know how it feels You don't know how it feels to be me My old man was born to rock He's still tryin' to beat the clock Think of me what you will I've got a little space to fill So let's get to the point, let's roll another joint Let's head on down the road There's somewhere I gotta go And you don't know how it feels You don't know how it feels to be me Tom Petty
GO LEAFS GO!
The Toronto Maple Leafs have swept the Ottawa Senators in four games! It is the first time the team has swept a playoff series since 1949. Fans in Toronto are going nuts on the streets right now as I write this. And why not? The Leafs barely made the playoffs this year. The Toronto media predicted Ottawa would easily take the series. Hell, I even doubted them on this very site just 10 short days ago. Right now the Leafs look strong, much stronger than last year at this time and, do I dare think it? Do I dare even say it? OK, here goes: I have a "feeling" that Lord Stanley's Cup may be coming back to Toronto for the first time in 34 years! GO LEAFS GO!
Hot Man-on-Man Action
 We've received a couple of complaints that the picture of George Bush Jr. was making them sick, so what better way to resolve the problem than by showing pictures of hot, gay men in loving embrace?
We all know most guys have a fetish for lesbians, but what about the girls who want to watch gay boys? The problem is most women don't even realize they'd enjoy it. For those sheltered souls, I suggest you visit Visions of Love. I'm not talking "Village People" here. I'm talking pretty, buff boys stripped to the waist and making out with passion. Try it. You just might like it. If you're looking for a little more flesh and a little less "action," there's always Skin Caps: A collection of straight and gay celebrites with no clothes on. Rebecca's favourite is Celebpecs.com, billed as "The very best place on the web for shirtless male celebrity pics."
Can I Get An Amen?
 If you've noticed any secret service agents around here lately, it's because we've been graced by a visit from George 'Dubya' Bush, THE PRESIDENT OF THE WORLD!!!!!
I'm so excited, I could pee my pants. Dubya popped into our message board this afternoon and promises to return, so if you have any questions for the man who is not my president now's your chance. Word of warning, though: You might want to avoid big words like "abortion," "environment" and "taxes." Don't startle the President with any quick movements. Secure all loose items, and keep your hands inside the car. Most importantly, do not feed the President. Does anyone know Hail To The Chief?
Oh, The Heartache
 The Toronto Maple Leafs have not won the Stanley Cup since 1967. I have to wonder if I'll ever see them win it in my lifetime. Every year at the start of the playoffs I just "have a feeling" there's a chance they'll win the Stanley Cup. But such is the plight of a Leafs fan. The team usually ends up bowing out in the quarter or semi-finals. This year, they barely made the playoffs and I'm seriously wondering if the players' golf season will start shortly after the first round.
I have been a huge Leafs fan since I was a kid. In the 1970s, my father used to take my brother and sister and I to games at Maple Leaf Gardens. My favourite player was the goalie, Mike Palmateer. Every single year I would expect the Leafs to win the Stanley Cup and every single year I was disappointed yet again. In the early 1980s, the Leafs former owner, the late Harold Ballard, traded away key players like Mike Palmateer, Darryl Sittler and Lanny McDonald and I decided I'd had enough. I stopped watching and caring about hockey for five years. Old habits die hard though and eventually I got sucked back into the whole Leafs fan machine again. My most humiliating moment as a Leafs fan was at a playoff game in New Jersey last year. It was the game where they bowed out of the playoffs but it was more like they bombed-out. They were beaten soundly by a score of something like 3 or 4 to nothing. They did set a record though, for the least amount of shots (six) on net ever in a playoff game. Even more humiliating though, was having to sit in the stands, amongst the Devils' fans, wearing a Leafs shirt. At least the Leafs players weren't pelted with popcorn and beer, just the fans who paid $50 US a ticket. Still, even after all that, and even as much as it pains me to say this, no matter what they do in this year's playoffs, there is a chant that will likely live in my heart until the day I die: GO LEAFS GO!
You Could Also Consider Killing Yourself
 An old thread on our message board has been rather active lately. The topic is abortion. Here's the post (complete with errors in spelling, grammar and logic) that fired things up:
Um... wha' ?? Normally this sort of post would make me chuckle before I move on, but I keep reading the same sentiment over and over again, and it's getting tiresome. If you hate babies, fine. If you want to argue for population control, go for it. But if you're going to whine about it at least HAVE THE BALLS TO STERILIZE YOURSELF before carrying on with your inane ramblings!  Of course, there are a few acceptable options to sterilization: Gay sex, abstinence (excuse me while I laugh), and masturbation (either with yourself, or your gay partner).
Now I realize it can be difficult for younger people with no kids to find a doctor willing to perform sterilization surgery, but it certainly shouldn't be that difficult for males to do the necessary snippage at home. (Try asking an ex-girlfriend to assist. She'll be more than willing.) The best vasectomy information I've found is at Beaver Cleaver, complete with gory photographs! I leave you with this helpful info on clitoral stimulation from bianca's Good Vibration Masturbation Guide:
There is one baby who deserves to die.
