the morning after

yep. the morning after the big election.
we ended up with exactly what we had before...so basically the last 6 weeks plus, have been nothing but a huge waste of money.
good call stephen.
and it appears 37% of the 50% of eligible voters that actually showed up
voted for the conservatives. lame, i know.

and due to a brutal electoral system, we end up with similar results
to our neighbours in the south.
less than 19% of canadians actually voted for your mr. harper.
how can you say that "they have done so with confidence" ?
if i scored 19% on an exam, i likely would not use confidence in the same sentence when discussing my results.
so now we wait and watch.
hopefully we dont follow a certain other country to the brink of a recession.
hopefully we dont send more soldiers to fight meaningless wars.
hopefully we dont scrap social programs so we can give tax breaks to big business.
deficit here we come?

update

yes. its been a while.
no i dont have a good excuse.
time is quickly running out on my attempt to put life on hold by being a grad student. its been a good 21 months. great even.
so why dont i stick around and make it a few more years of delaying real life?
now that is a good question.
one ive wrestled with, changed my mind on and second guessed an infinite amount of times.
especially with the task of writing a thesis approaching more rapidly by the minute, the easy thing to do would have been to transfer into the phd program and not have to worry about that for another 24 or 36 months. i think thats why im getting out now.
ive enjoyed the last few years, but im ready for a new challenge. something fresh and different. maybe a new city. and hopefully a job. something that will sort of change my views, give me a new perspective and open new doors.
