The island is called Boracay, population 12,000, and it's one of the thousands of islands that make up the Philippines.  Probably over half of the population of Boracay consists Americans, Italians, Germans, Swiss, backpackers, hippies, WWII vets, probably the odd American Civil war vet as well (but not likely from the south and not likely alive). 

The station I'm going to is called Radio Boracay.  It's not a big station, but it's on a resort island and there ain't nothin' wrong with that.

For those of you still intestested in following Flipside, I'm pushing to see if I can move it to Radio Boracay... but I'm sure it won't happen, but who knows, maybe Flipside will live on. 

Keep on listening, I'll be posting regularly.

I took a look at what they were picketing for, and this is what the sign said, "Canadians against Coalition"

Are you f'n kidding me?  As far as I see it, the small group of conservative supporters in my NDP riding are getting together to chant 'Go Harper Go'? 

I wondered to myself what kind of people would go to this random rally on one of the deadest streets in the city.

Then I figured it out, these were the people that drove their Ford F-350s out to take up literally half the road and scream about how much they love how things are going with the conservatives. 

I really don't care either way if this coalition government goes in or not, I think the Dion and Harper are both unfit to run our nation. 

I guess it just goes to show you how smart these people are by gathering in a place where no one will see them.

This will be one of my top 10 reasons why I am moving out of Canada in 6 weeks...

I think what's even more odd is when that stranger tries to break the tension by saying something random and current.  Usually it's about sports or the weather.  Most of the time I just agree and nod.

I wonder what would happen if I started to ramble on about whatever topic that person had brought up.  I think the reaction would be pretty funny.  Either they would get into it or else just feel as awkward as the situation was to begin with.  They couldn't really stop the situation without being rude unless the elevator stops at the next floor; then it's done I guess.

Really?  What have we learned from Y2K?  How many prophets have said that the dawn of the new millennium will be the destruction of our world.  We're still here and not dead, so what now?  Oh yeah, that's right, a new prophecy that was foreseen as the darkest hour of the world.

If you've seen the trailer for the film '2012' slated for Spring 2009, and starring John Cusack, then you would know that a one of the big cataclysmic moments in the movie will be the ocean engulfing an entire mountain range.  How f'd up is that?  Are you serious, Columbia Pictures?  How is that statistically possible?  That much water would leave other parts of the world bare and dry (most likely Canada since the mountain are in Asia).  That, or else the moon decided to take a closer look at Nepal and accidentally drew all of Earth's water to the Himalayas. 

Here's my prediction for the day of December 21, 2012.  China will become a larger world power more than ever, Russia will be under the rule Vladimir Putin, the U-S as a whole will be on the brink of bankruptcy, and despite efforts from developed nations, global warming will be far worse than it is now, leaving Canada to be the only place barely affected, and every other country clawing their way into our land... the beginning of WWIII.

I'm a realist, and I'm not going to sugar-coat it.  Let me know what you think with your comments.

I did some reading up on the plot and I have to say I'm not too impressed. 

Here's the premise:
  James Bond picks up from the ending of 'Casino Royal', and then he goes and tries to find out how was responsible for that chick dieing in the last movie.  Meanwhile, some other bad guy bent on gaining money by doing something evil is planning his claim to success.  Fast forward.  Bond gets revenge for the lady-person's death and stops the bad guy.  And the ultimate story is that young James is smarter because of the whole situation...

That is my analysis.  And if it sounds familiar, it's because that's the base layer of any bond movie when you remove all the action scenes, and mini dramas.  It's all the same.  In fact, I be that's gonna be the same plot for Transporter 3.

I only liked Transporter because it was the biggest cheese/action fest that was worth watching.  Then they made a sequel, and now they're making another one. 

Needless to say, I don't think the end of predictable action plots will ever come, they'll only get even more violent and more obscene.

Not only did you kick the Canadian Federal Election's but you also could have created the largest voter turnout in your history.  It was only this morning that you tramped Canada's voter turnout by a minuscule 100 MILLION!  100 MILLION, really? 

Let us compare Canada's media coverage... National Debate here was in a closed studio for the public to watch on television and covered two days, one in French and the other in English.  The US Presidential Debate... I don't even know how many they had, but they sure as hell were broadcasted well and in large auditoriums.

Here's the bottom line, we as Canadians are too empathetic to the United States for one main reason package: They control our media, our money, and, unfortunately, even our very own federal government.

Let's face it Canada, we play Robyn to America's Batman.  There is no denying it.  Way to go!

It's simple really, I called out Grant Belous from Evolution because I didn't like his videos, he came back and told me I'm going to get pounded by Russians if I didn't have an exit strategy.  And I shot back with a video with Grant's head superimposed onto someone's body while a fellow in short shorts dance around.

Now that you're up-to-date, we're down to the nitty-gritty.  I went on Evolution tonight and I set the challenge: SCENE IT!!!!

That's right, the video trivia game where players try to beat each other to the end of the board and reign as 'Movie Master of NR92'. 

One problem though... neither of us have Scene It! so here's your change to be apart of NR92 history!  If you have the game, just post a comment saying you do and I will give you a Flipside Mix CD, a guest spot of Flipside, an appearance on my Vlog, and free Whopper Junior Combo Meal from Burgar King.  All you have to do is bring the game, simple as that!  You can't have a war unless you have the board to play on.

Let me just clarify that is not what we think.  We bust our asses, especially from Tuesday to Thursday, to get out news stories together for the 'Gong Show' so it can go to air on Thursday afternoons at 4.  So obviously we do care about news, and unlike our predecessors, we try to go further so that our news is always improving.

When we have an assignment due in which we have to 'condense' our news stories, it's been said that we think that it's pointless... it's not.  It's worded wrong.  It's nearly impossible to condense a radio news story to 300 words since our news stories averages 150-170 words.  630CHED's news stories online average the same, I even saw one that was only 69 words.  I think we should have to call it 'expanding' stories more than anything.

I just don't like getting reprimanded for something that was misconstrued for apathy... although, last week I sacrificed a news story to put together a news/feature show for NR92... ironic really, news for news.  In that case, yeah, I could have cared less if didn't get a news story in.  I was up until nearly four in the morning and slept at school for the sake of the 'Gong Show'... I'm that dedicated.

Right now, I've noticed that Mondays and Tuesdays are like hell because Wednesday is the day that the big projects are usually due.

I'm not asking anyone to change the way do things here at NAIT, I'm just wondering why we start the week off with deadlines and end it with what feels like mild procrastination.

It's on!

Most of the time I'm playing around in the halls or else bugging out NR92 people while they try to finish school work... yes, I am a bugger.

So if you have tried to call in to my show, now you know what I'm doing when the music of bumpin'.

On a completely different note, I'm thinking of making posters for my show and posting them around campus.  I think it might work.
