“Israel is saying to Hamas enough is enough, and the citizens of Gaza should too say to Hamas that enough is enough” - some Israeli prick.

What is enough, is the use of multi-million dollar weapons against make-shift MacGyvers.

Today is day 3 of Israeli attacks on the Gaza strip. This strike is allegedly targeted at Hamas, an extremist Islamic group in political control of the Gaza strip in Palestine. Unfortunately, the story is a bit fogged on my end. I’ve heard reports that the attacks were sparked by a request of negotiation from Hamas; and I’ve heard that Hamas launched a few rockets.

Which is true? I can’t tell you for certain. What I can tell you though, is that bombing Mosques, apartments and parks does NOT equal civilized warfare. If you can call warfare civilized. Thousands of civilian lives, mostly women and children have been lost or hindered in the last two days. Not so many Israeli civilians as much as their soldiers.

I’m not going to rant on about this… I’m currently blinded by anger and am choking on disappointment. I can’t seem to write anything tasteful without a huge bias.

War is wrong. It doesn’t matter who the hell initiated it. Specifically, killing is wrong. That is not how politics works. We, as humans, are a very sad and stupid creature.

“Why must we kill to show that killing is wrong?” - unknown

So, this was a comment but I felt that it should be a post as sometimes comments are lost to those who seek wisdom. Grizz is one of my favorite “internet people” and one of the wisest men I know. Do read, and definitely do enjoy. Oh, and Merry Christmas! -boxafella

Peace be with you and yours, I felt compelled to share here instead of with others elsewhere who maybe would not appreciate the message at it’s core rather than have viewed it through a narrow perspective.

Had a wonderful weekend out in Montreal. As promised, here’s a gallery for you to enjoy.

The way we perceive something can greatly effect the way we feel about it. I’ve always thought of winter as a symbol of death. It’s cold, bitter and dry. You’d figure if and when the sun comes out to play, the temperature would rise a bit. It’s quite the opposite in Ottawa. In fact, the best days are when it snows.

Damn it is COLD outside.

So, I’ve relocated to Ottawa.

I hate the winter.

Grizz - you are more man than I can fathom - crazy ass living in Alaska..

Fuck snow.

Damn negative temperatures..

:-( Texas sucked, but shit.. At least it was warm!

When I was 5 years old, my mom always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down “happy.” They told me I didn’t understand the assignment and I told them they didn’t understand life. -unknown

And so we now have a new President-Elect. If you ask me, history is in the making. Right before our eyes the world is changing. We should not forget that the man we selected to run and be the face of the “free world” is just that; a man.

The Bush administration did not do all they did overnight. No. They took years before they catapulted the States into a colossal amount of debt. You must also remember that all the damage done was caused by multiple people, and not one man alone.

We cannot place all our dreams and hopes into one person. This is unreasonable. We may be in for a big disappointment if we do. Seriously - “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Y’all can hope and wish all you want - just remember - he is one man.

Congratulations America!

You have elected Mr. Obama as your newest leader! This election is one for the history books - that’s for sure. I’ll have a more indepth article for y’all here in the next few days, I hope. Maybe something later today. After having moved up North I’ve been a very busy man. I’m still trying to get my feet on the ground - so bare with me!!!

Oh yeah, and Grizz - Thanks for swinging by!!

Today is the day! The dawn of a new age! Well, maybe it isn’t. Who knows?! All I know is that soon - the USA will have a new president!

God, I hope it isn’t McCain…

GO VOTE PEOPLE! MAKE YOUR VOICE COUNT!

I just wanted to clarify that you’re the one who split it with me.

You didn’t tell me the truth.

Not the other way around.
