Escape from the cardboard box
So its now official... I have escaped my previous prison known as the cardboard box. I quit on Monday because I have a new job starting next Monday. Hooray for me.
Back to the mall, oh how I have missed you.

Currency of the Poor
As many of you know I have very little money, not a lot of luxury but I am very happy. I have my family and my friends by my side. My employer has become quite wealthy by exploiting his workers and customers alike and now has many wonderful luxuries to show for this efforts. This Thanksgiving he will be flying North and hunting instead of spending it with family. At first I was shocked but apparently this is common for them to do now.
I will be spending time with my family, telling stories, jokes and having a good time. Not to mention getting really fat on all the food.
Does money really change things that much? With money do you no longer need your family? Money can buy many wonderful things for you, this is true but it cannot buy that which is most precious... Life long companions.
If family and friends are the poor mans currency then I am the richest man in the world. Would I trade it all for luxury, not in your life.
Happy Thanksgiving to those celebrating.

Athletic Funding
My brother competed at Top Challenge in Montreal on August 25th and was injured during his final qualifying run. His clavicle was broken and he was rushed to hospital.
When he got home and began the healing process he received a bill from the hospital for the ambulance used in Montreal. The paramedics were on staff at the event for this exact kind of emergency; on staff how the hell can you charge someone for a service that was being supplied for the event?
Should our athletes have to pay for emergency vehicles at a registered sporting event? Is it just extreme sports enthusiasts that have to pay or are all athletes treated the same. Would we charge a boxer? UFC fighter? Football Player?
To me it seems unfair that he was charged for this service that he obviously needed and was on staff for the sole purpose of watching over the athletes in attendance. I would like to thank the paramedics for their quick response to the crash. You guys rock!!
To my brother, I am very proud of you. You proved you had no fear and that you truly are a champion. You have brought great honor to your family.
