COLD PRESS

Montreal, Quebec, Canada
i wrote some books and gave away library. i like to think that every poem is a love poem. i believe that "No" is a full sentence. i used to collect old books and young cats. i don't like noisy people, places or things. my three favourite words: yes, please, thank you. my favourite punctuation mark is the colon: i have a beautiful cat, a bicycle, an old typewriter, and a ladle. these things make me happy.

"INTERESTING HISTORY DOT COM" ::: HOT OFF THE PRESSES via the SHARE toolbar, haven't even had my cuppa yet and just received. Voici ::: Just what every CANADIAN needs to know.: AMERICAN HISTORY! Very useful, specially in FRENCH QUEBEC. Mais oui! ::: Okay, I'm laughing...or crying... both! ::: Four years of High School and American History - it wasn't an "option" - and 70 years of sharing a Border with the USA - from Coast-to-Coast, Sookie & The Situation, Leno and Letterman, American politics 24/7/365 thanks to CNN, FOX Everything, Ron Paul and Sarah Palin, Occupy Everything, Entertainment Tonight, Today, Tomorrow, Forever, the Birthers and the Tea Party (was that in Boston?), Obama all the time, Howard Stern, the News according to Stewart and Colbert, OZ,(what a perfect name for a doctor on Pop TV!) Saint Oprah (ad nauseum for 40 years - was it 40? Felt like it), Ellen (ooh! I could be a switcher hitter with de Generes, her baby blues are enough to turn my head -- for a whole minute) Phil, that 'Good Ole Boy' out of Texas with his homilies, Judy, Judy, Judy the non-Judge, REALITY TV, as if the fiction isn't bad enough, Dancing, Dancing, Dancing with the Starlets - time to retire that Show's Sensitivity Training, not to be outdone by Bieber Fever as if it weren't bad enough that we gave them Celine Everything All The Time Everywhere, The Brit Invasion: Cowell, Piers (Piers? Who the hell names their kid "Piers"? Brits! Haven't they heard of Billy-Joe and Billy-Jean?) Sharon Bleep, just because they "sound" more "intelligent" not that they are, just that nothing beats a Brit accent for sheer "class", eh what?) ::: I thought the "Mayflower" was all about a Madam somewhere in HOLLYWOOD doing up Charlie Sheen and Friends, now I learn via the SHARE toolbar that it was about BEER. American beer!(Have you ever tasted American beer? Water!) But then Columbus was looking for Quebec and found America instead. OOPS! ::: Where do I stop and where I do I start, because I haven't even begun...but if you are a CANADIAN you know where I am going with this. You can stop laughing now. ::: I've got to go deal with real con-trov-ersy, called MONSANTO and PETA and the SEA SHEPHERD...things around here are getting exciting. ::: Oh dear, and you thought it was Alice in Wonderland all this time. No, it wasn't. It was Frankenstein and Frankenfood. The real world we live in. ::: Mutant Everything. I can see it's going to be a tough day ahead. :::
