seismic shift

Fairness, justice and democracy, are breaking out every where. Wars are ending. NZ  beat France 8-7 to win the Rugby Work Cup. Manchester City beat Manchester United in the Manchester soccer derby by 6-1. Dictators are dying off faster than in WW2. Evil Bin Laden is dead. Barack Obama , the first African -American President of the United States is alive and kicking and still in power. China is , well, uuhhmm , apparently is a very nice place to visit and it has this incredible long wall that crosses a continent that can be seen from space. China, lets face it, was the only country on the blue planet to have the balls to introduce a one child policy, and that , if other countries would do the same that one action alone would truly save the planet...And I am a hypocrite for saying that as I have 3 kids . But in my defense, I took the necessary steps and am now a proud eunuch!

And Halifax Shipyards wins 25 billion dollar shipping contract. Halifax Wins Something. And I know it is really the Irving owned Halifax Shipyards that I boycotted so long ago I can't even remember why, and I once ran out of gas right by an Irving station. I picked up my jerry-can out of my trunk and proceeded to walk to the next non-Irving gas station 5 miles down the road. I got my gas , walked 5 miles back to my car, filled it from the can and then carried on my merry way. And I still can't remember why I hated the Irving's so much I would do anything to avoid doing business with them . Maybe its because they had more toys than me. Or maybe it was because Irving the elder , otherwise known by his alias  name of KC Irving before passing away in 1992 was  living in tax-exile in Bermuda.  After that time, following their fathers example, his 3 sons, JK , Arthur and Jack Irving are living tax free in Bermuda. But it is time to put old jealousy's to the sword. Our Premier, kind of like a
Governor , said this was equal to winning the Olympics every year for 30 years , or was that the Lottery every year for 30 years, I forget. The point is , I don't know why but I did , kinda feel like I'd won the lottery when it was announced that we had won the contract. And I don't say Irving owned Halifax Shipyards won the contract. Halifax won the contract! I won the contract because I am sure some of that dough will rub off on me. Do you remember President Ronald Reagan's trickle down economic theory. I'm sure the same thing will happen with this contract. In fact just a little trickle would be fine by me.

And if those events aren't seismic enough for you, I arose at 4am this morning for no particular reason other than to see what 4am looks like . It looks groggy and I feel sleep deprived and I feel like taking a nap. But I will struggle with all my might to not take a nap and I will stay awake 'til 9pm tonight until I go to bed. I will let you know if I survive.
