Blond Hair Dye PopStar Infatuation

While watching the unfortunately titled Access Hollywood: 10 Stars Undiscovered Before They Were Famous Last Ten Years Show of Holiday Anniversary Special or something like that, I was transported (mentally not like beam me up scotty) to a few years back when I was...*SHOCK* a teeny bopper. This was, in hindsite, the most disgusting time of my life because I liked popstars. Do you remember when you were once in love with a popstar? Be it Justin or Lance, Brian or Nick, the fat one from 98 Degrees or the one from Nsync (NSync, 'Nsync, N'sync, NSYNC, N*Sync) you were [I was] infatuated. You knew JUST KNEW that YOU were the chosen one, you would be the mere peasent who would cross over to the celebrity side and marry the famous one. You would be the one with a television special on your fairytale romance, you would walk down the aisle and see the face of Oprah in the crowd, you would guest star on ... Martha Stewart Living.

Then Justin dated Britney, Nick dated Jessica and the dream slowly vanished for many...but not you. Justin would come around, you just knew it...just waiting for that fateful moment when you are dating a celebrity and life is beautiful. And you waited...depending on your sanity or lack there of you kept waiting.

Or perhaps you were a celebrity crush whore - one day your in love with Nick, the next your sure your solemate is Brian. Perhaps you switched to the B-List loves like Ashley Angel (oooooh lol) or maybe became infatuated with half of Westlife (Bryan McFadden, Kian Egan and Mark Feehily) but really who does that?...cough cough.

Then one day it clicked; your not going to marry Prince William. Even if you do go to St. Andrews University in Scotland and work out a lot and practice balancing books on your head (you can stop laughing now) you will not become Queen. Or even Princess Holly - err, I mean Princess InsertYourNameHere. This was a sad day. You realize your dreams don't come true. You will not be Cinderella, there is no Prince Charming and at this very second in time happily ever after is not looking too good.

And Justin Timberlake is engaged to Cameron Diaz.
The end.

Famousity...is that a word?

It seems that almost every Canadian city has its token famous person; quick example Brantford and Wayne Gretzky. So it leaves me to ponder about those cities, towns, villages that are completely and utterly famous personless - how do they cope without a sign saying HOME OF INSERT NAME HERE? Are they depressed? Do they spend years training rigiouresly their sons and daughters to become something great? Does the Mayor often cry himself to sleep at night? What a sad place to live.

I have found the list of the TOP 20 Famous Canadians

The top five for 2003 were Avril Lavigne, Pam Anderson, Romeo Daillire (Hotel Rwanda Real Life Person), Shania Twain and Nelly Furtado.

That is depressing. Here is my list -

CANADIAN STARS I AM ACTUALLY PROUD OF AND DON'T WANT TO SEND TO UTAH (in no particular order)

1. Keanu Reeves (the Matrix, Constantine, really really good looking)
2. Barenaked Ladies (If I Had a Million Dollars and those other funny songs)
3. Bryan Adams (I like him because he's really famous but if I have to hear Summer of '69 one more time he's gettin his ass shipped to Utah)
4. Neil Young (classic)
5. The Guess Who
6. Bachman Turner Overdrive
7. Leonard Cohen
8. Dan Akroyd
9. Samuel Goldwyn (of MGM)
10. Peter Jennings (BOO YA)
11. Todd McFarland (comic books, owns an island)
12. Leslie Nielsen
13. Alex Trebek
14. Mike Myers
15. Dave Foley
16. Scott Thomson
17. Brantford's own Phil Hartman

Things I Find Weird Before 10 am

(the oh so famous eggman)

1. My mother called me during the hour of 9 when I was still sleeping to inform me that possibly one of my old high school teachers had been arrested for sexual assault after a long investigation. I immediatly thought I knew who it was and I won't say here but if its not him I will be surprised. He always was chatting up the volleyball girls and never actually paying attention to class - you know that thing he was teaching. But I never honestly thought it was more than gross flirtation - which reminds me that even though I am pessimistic I am still nieve at times. People you know do bad things. Like Jann Arden's brother - I don't know him but I found out yesterday he is in jail for murder. On to number 2.
2. I live in Brantford, not a huge glitz pull here but I kind of was taken back when I found out that Wayne Gretzky's mothers funeral was going to be at the same church I do nursery in on Sundays. The one I would be able to see from here if there wasn't you know like a wall there. It shouldn't be that surprising really - its well known that Gretzky is from Brantford but at 9:47 am it just seems strange.

Partisan

I'm not partisan - I think they are all idiots.
Only 49 days till election night!

Our Balls Are Bigger - Canadian Football

I don't like football - except if its soccer but I am damn proud that Laurier won the Vanier Cup. Way to go Golden Hawks; I didn't even know we were good till we beat everyone in Ontario. Then everyone in Canada. So yeah for the team! Caaa CAHHHH! (By the way what's with me going to schools with birds as mascots? Brennan Cardinals! Tweet tweet! Wilfrid Laurier Golden Hawks Caa CAHHHH!)

We Win! See it here!

Laurier is...!

I SWEAR ON THIS ELECTION

Simple: if the liberals get a majority government after this Janurary 23rd election I am moving to Australia!

Reasons

1. Australia has lower taxes
2. A dollar comparable to the Canadian dollar
3. More vacation time
4. Free university for residents
5. Summer - all the time
6. Still part of the commonwealth
7. Didn't vote the freaking liberals in again
8. Australians aren't retarded like those who vote in the liberals after the sponsorship scandal!

We shall see my destiny sealed on January 23rd.
