Live 8 DVD: Live 8 4 Disc Set holding virtually all the Philly and London concerts, interspersed with other highlights (like Neil Young!). They also have separate DVDs for the other countries like Canada. Yay! What’s my beef with this? You would think that if they are splurging to have an entire DVD dedicated to Canada, they would include the whole concert. Sam Roberts and Our Lady Peace (amongst others) get cut down to one song out of three that they played. I’m almost willing to just download the TV broadcast off the Internet.

Amazon Wish List: This year, I’m thinking of setting up a Wish List on Amazon.ca for Christmas. I’m thinking that 90% of the things I would want can be found on Amazon, and they offer decent prices. Books, CDs, DVDs, video games…pretty well whatever I want for the holidays. I recommend it to all of you!

Alternative Work Arrangements: I’m going to start working extra hours so that I can get every second Friday off. If any of you are able to do this at your workplace, I suggest it! I may grow tired of working 50 extra minutes a day, but the thought of an entire Friday off will help me get through it!

Last night after class I was standing at the bus stop freezing my ass off. I was listening to some tunes and didn’t really catch what was going on when a gentleman was addressing the crowd. I caught the end of his speech of being from Toronto and needing money to stay at the shelter. Heck, it’s only spare change, I’ll give him some…

My only beef with this gentleman is that when he walking across the street to ask some others for change, he thanked those who passed along some cash, but then he said “And thanks to all the others.” in a sarcastic fashion.

He also continued his sarcastic comments on how he appreciated how the people who didn’t give him any money helped him out SO much this night.

<Start Palmer’s Rant right here> No one in the world has the right to demand anything. If you need help, thank those who help you and be thankful. Don’t be spiteful. I wanted to call out to him and ask for my money back because no one deserves to feel bad about a choice they’ve made. Read that again: No one deserves to feel bad about a choice THEY’VE made.<end Palmer’s Rant right here>
