Ok so this might sound a little weird, but I want to add politics to my stuff to learn. I know I know, I do still not like politics, but! it is the way the world is run, and at the same time I think I might not be too bad at it, (scary confession I know) The reason why is because a friend and I were having a conversation about different politics, he came up with an idea of giving corporations bigger tax cuts if they put funding into a specific range of research innovations. Kinda like if your just a person who makes quite a bit of money and you donate money to a charity, you get a tax break so you don't get destroyed by the government. Same thing but it would allow us to give tax breaks for corporations and still allow for us to get something out of it. All of this is really making me consider more and more about making my own political party. Though it would need a lot of work, more research and more people. What I would need to do is get it popular enough before anyone runs in the party so at least around 10 people try and get elected under this party during the same election. If they get in awesome, if they don't it's alright but at least then we actually get our name out there.
That's it for politics for now. Now progress.
Progress: Jayme's

A nice old woman actually helped me with looking for cake stuff, I helped her a bit too so she called me "such a kind young man" Kinda felt cheesy but nice at the same time.
Also For anyone that is interested in helping or joining with any of these goals. Let me know, and I will welcome you and even help you out.

Harsh truths and Doing something
So I got another kick in the butt to keep going and start doing things again, a friend sent me a link ( Cracked 6 harsh truths that will make you better person ) which I recommend all of you read. Sure he's being an asshole, that doesn't change the fact that he is right! I mean really, how many of us have done exactly as he stated and not done a thing. I know I have, I know i'm doing that pretty much right now. We all must contribute to something that will make us create things! And even though it's in the spirit of the new year to do exactly as I just said there's one thing that needs to change, We can't do any of this "i'm going to get rich" or "i'm going to get a gf/bf" instead we need to start planning things that we'll learn or start doing! "i'm going to learn to cook" or "i'm going to learn a language" or "i'm going to learn karate" it doesn't matter you could want to learn how to do perfect rolls continuously. I don't freaking know, just do something! Anything!
For me i'm going to update these blogs with progress, i'm going to start right away because well, we all know if we put it off to the new year NONE of us will even touch it. Gotta start when you're in the mood and keep it moving so you get in the habit.
I recommend all of you to start a blog or something to keep track of it as well, Hell if you don't want to i'll even let you record the progress on my blog! you don't even have to post your name just post your alias or whatever you want it to be, Every time you comment on my blog i'll update your progress. Just use the format like I will below.
So come on people! Let's do it! We are what we can do after all.
Listening: A man Alone - Finch

Kendo: Beginning March (Need to wait for classes to open)

Inequality
I don't get it, in fact i'm kind of sick of the equality that goes around, and I don't mean the obvious ones, I don't mean the jokes, actually I like the jokes i'll tell you why later. What i'm talking about is the accepted inequalities that go around and since they're so widely accepted no one goes against them. There's plenty of one but one has been ticking me off recently probably cause i'm part of it and can't help but feel like it's aimed at me a lot. What i'm talking about is men. It seems like men are targeted as a single group all the time now, I know that i'm not a part of that group that they target either. I'm not a usual asshole, selfish, just wants to get in your pants kind of guy, So therefore I don't want to be treated as such. Is it so ridiculous that I get treated as Me? I don't want to be treated as a guy I wanted to be treated as an individual, don't judge me on your false standards and don't attack me because I have a penis. It's not right and it never will be. You can hop behind the "oh but i'm a fragile women" and " but we're the ones that are being oppressed." but your not fooling anyone anymore, I mean really? Women were so oppressed back in the day that you came up and started to oppress the other side, and is that fair? no! Because i'm not from that generation a hundred years ago, I'm a different person! I'm from this generation and I want COMPLETE equality.
That brings me to other inequalities, firstly I guess race. I mean this should be the obvious one, don't judge someone cause of what they are, judge them based on who they are. You may have met a lot of another race that you don't like, and that just may be because of what culture they were raised in, and how your values differ. But that doesn't mean all of them will feel the same way, and act the same way. That's like saying since your white your rich, spoiled and live in a mansions. How many of us have that? almost none? Thought so.. Judgments are ridiculous thing to do... but there is the opposite that happens too.
For instance, free money or free support because of what you are.. SERIOUSLY? no one else see the problem? I mean services like sponsorship and such don't bother me as much although they should still go away, but the heart of the problem is that if you treat others as different people.. as different species, creatures or race. Then they will be. There will be racism, there will be hate, and all because you decide to distinguish. Once people realize that if you treat people as complete individuals we all become equal, this world can finally move on to become a better place.
That's the end of my rant for today.
p.s. I forgot to add the reason I like racist jokes, I guess the biggest reason is because the more that people put them out in the open, and the more people laugh about stereotypes, the more unrealistic they seem. People stop being truly racist and just accept them as jokes that everyone finds funny, it seems to let people accept everyone easier. In my eyes at least.
TL;DR Once people realize that if you treat people as complete individuals we all become equal, this world can finally move on to become a better place. And start being equal.

Obligatory Political Rant
So i've been thinking of starting my own political party, I can get the outline of what I want, but for specifics I need help. So let's put it in categories.
Science: I want to move into better more funding for research, more open research strategies but still enforce tough regulations for any products that affect humans or there health and the environment.
Economy: I'm not very good with this stuff but I obviously want more the better, work on getting provinces out of debt.
Foreign policy: be good to our neighbors but work on a bettering the planet with everyone and increasing human rights and increasing interdependence but at the same time.
There's a couple other things that I'm thinking as well but I want input from you guys. tell me what you'd want or what other things I should talk about.
