As many of you may have noticed mt. paul got some new jewellry over the weekend. There is a white peace sign half hazardly painted on the side. I thought this was nothing more then a little cute and dismissed it. Untill i read todays paper the Kamloops Daily News. To which it was called vandalism by Chief Shane Gottfriedson. He then goes on to explain that it is disrespectful to the Shuswap Indians that it is an important landmark for. Crime stoppers is also looking for tips to find the people responsible.

here is my letter to the Kamloops Daily News.

I think it is atrocious that Chief Shane Gottfriedson dismissed the peace symbol on Mt. Paul as graffiti. Instead it should be seen as an out cry, a cry for peace and an end to strife, which is exactly what this town needs.

Instead of vandilization I am sure the company responsible only wanted what their symbol represents, peace. The citizens of our town who painted it must have felt very strongly to risk their safety on the ‘treacherous terrain.’

I find the symbol heart warming. Mount Paul has now become a reminder that not all people flourish in conflict that there are still the sane few who enjoy the calm. What I do find disappointing and disrespectful is the fact that Gottfriedson cares more about some rocks on a mountain then he does about something so noble as peace.

I agree the people who did this should come forward. They should be welcomed by our praise. The symbol should not be removed instead it should be left on the mountainside to stare down everyone who has lost sight of its message.

here is a poem i wrote the other day keep in mind it is the first one in like two years.

you make jesters with your hands and faces
only the two of you understand
i try to ignore it but catching myself watching through reflection
my invasion is unnoticed but i don't think you would care if it wasn't
as the bus rumbles to life you gestures start to flurry
tomorow is a life time away
the world around you fluters as you flash your immature innocent smiles
as you two are split i watch as one of your faces slowly looses the love and matches the rest of
ours

three things happened today. First i got my first ever freelance paycheck. Second i got my palm read and third i bought a new rpg for my xbox. I think the only reason god made me so horny is that it would insure that i will leave the house.

as many of you may know i went to tegan and sara on wedsnday nothing really big there they rocked and the concert was full of girls but the funniest thing is i was going through my notes that i wrote when i was drunk and i found the following quote:

"I farted and it smells like dead mice"

So guess what everyone i am now on easy street agian becuase i got my student loan. Well not necessarily easy street but i can buy everything i need for school. like alchohol and fancy clothes and other useless shit i don't really need, like books. I can finally pay tuition and all the people i owe money too back. Thanks for not kicking the shit out of me.

on a lighter note i do get to keep two journals for school so i will get to be in touch with my feelings weeee fucking heeeee

Actually it is making me write down more stuff which is really good because as some of you know i think to much and i am really lazy so i usually end up just obbsessing about useless shit that i shouldn't think so much about.

maybe i should just stop drinking too much coffee late at night then going onto my blog

So last night when i was drunk i forgot to speak of this highly heated day known as 9-11. I am happy to report that the terror alert is still at yellow. It hasnèt changed all summer. The only thing i am really going to say about 9-11 is that the people in power got exactly what they wanted after the incident.

Dale "thanks for the sub I will pay you back"
Wanda "payback how?"
dale "well what do you want? Do I have to put out hahahaha"
Wanda "well a 7-11 sub and drink is technically a meal so yeah you should put out"
Dale "alright"
Wanda "you have to let me touch your dink"
Dale "hahahahahaha yeah I think I can handle that"

So that was a nice quote I can tell that the journalism year is underway because I have gotten drunk twice this week. Well not super loaded but I have been gettin the buzz on.

Detrimental to health this situation is because tonight I almost died. It wasn't liver failure although that can't be too distant a horizon. No tonight I almost died of sheer stupidity. Me and Chris and Mary beth were walking around town for hours and talking about drunk stuff.

After we had finished sitting on the Celtic carved rocks in riverside we ventured on past the maxx and over the walking bridge. Chris points out that apparently your can slide down the yellow beams that attach from the span to the ground like firepoles because allies climbing friends did it once.

I immediately dismiss the idea as a shitty one because I am afraid of heights. Mary beth however thinks that it is a good idea. "I'll go first if one of you do it after me"

I look at chris then look over the side "I want to because I think it would be fun but what if I fall and die"

I have slid down a firepole in my life so wouldn't this be just as easy but longer I think to myself. I decide that adventure is good firepoles are easy so it would be beneficial to slide down this pole. Did I mention I am half drunk at the time. Basically my legs slip off the pole and all the pressure is on my arms and hands so I just grip tighter and jerkily let myself down.

I land at the bottom with just enough force to fall over. I tell mary beth to not slide down the pole because "I came pretty close to fucking dying"

Maybe I am being over dramatic but the whole thing was pretty freaky and I had the butterflies afterward.

The only injuries I received are a burned left ring finger (from the friction) a bruised right forearm (I don't know) and the fact that my terror filled face made me look like a total tard. One more drunk experience down a whole fuck of a lot more to go, hopefully.

Ok school has only been in for about five minutes for me personally. I am already on hot girl overload. The bus ride alone was almost too much. If i this continues i don't know what i will do. It will probably have something to do with me walking around trying to use my jedi mind tricks and will my erection down.

By the way everyone out there who likes this whole screaming singer band emo thing should listen to the reason. They are on small man. They have what appears or sound liek to bbe three singers one screamer one guy who sings harmony but the main singer sounds like the guy from milencolin which is entirely cool. If you don't like milencolin then you suck.

On another note here is some more passions of the christ stuff. Oh if you are sick of hearing people talk about this stupid movie and wonder when we will get over it here is my answer.

I Dale De Ruiter will officially get over the Passion of the Christ when everyone admits that it is akin to a snuff film and tries to guilt people into being religous again after numbers have been continuosly falling over the last years.
I would also like everyone to admit that it is not acceptable to make a movie with absolutely no plot and just sheer violence. It was a little annoying with kill bill but when you try to make a movie about jesus float merely on the basis that everyone knows the story is garbage. If we already know the story then why re tell it. Just think about how much sense the movie would have made if you didn't know the story. Like what was the name of the girl who the line in the sand was drawn in front of,You know, one of the major characters whose main role is to cry. A lot of people will say this is a good movie becuase it shows what actually happened to christ becuase it actually happened well would it make a good story if you showed the story of a 12 year old child being raped just becuase that actually happens. no it wouldn't. When you hijak the story of christ just to televise prolonged torture scenes well that my friend is bad taste. To me this movie actually made me hate the christian religion as a whole even more becuase it was alright to beat this man this bad becuase god wanted us too becuase we were bad people and this would flush our sins from our body. We as a human race are bad and they only way we get to get rid of all this sin is to beat the fuck out of this man. We are a bad group of people the only way that god will forgive us and let us into heaven is if we brutaly kill this man that he sent to lead us. This ideal is fucked. I am sorry i have absolutely no ninterest in this religion. I am not an athiest or a satanist i actually don't know what i am. I am however am not a christian. The reason i am not has nothing to do with god or angels or a fallen one it does however have to do entirely to the fact that i find this gigantic group of many many religions basically exist solely on hating other groups with basically the same beliefs except for a few minor technicalities. To me all major religions are an excuse to hate.

So basically this is the way it is. It is 426 am and ther is about 31 hours until my first class of the new school year. I would tell you how awesome my summer was but i basically did nothign besides lye around and fall asleep in the sun every once in a while. I had one adventure and that was when i went to vancouver for warped tour and you pretty much all know how that went. Nothing really particularily interesting happened this summer I worked two jobs and spent all the money on stupid stuff i did not need. I am actually kind of getting freaked out becuase i am almost done my school. This is a big step because school has always been kind of a security blanket. You know if things don't work out you can always get a student loan and go back to school. Well that is about done for me. I know i will probably find a job and then start the 40 year decline. This basically means i will start working for about forty years and slowly watch my body deteriorate as my life slips on by and then retire and wait around untill i am to feeble to move.

This may sound bleak and unconstituitionaly dark but that is how i see the system as it be. Of course what i really want is a job full of adventure and intrigue where i can live everyday to the fullest and then pass on all the knowledge gained to my beautiful children and pass my seed in valor. But i have to be realistic how possible is it that there are enough super awesome jobs to keep everyone happy. Basically someone has to scrub the toilettes and we are all fighting to not be the one holding the brush.

It might jsut be that i am half drunk or it might be that i am disgustingly tired but all i know is that i am super excited and pretty fucking scared that this year is about to go underway.

so since i am so utterly an disgustingly beautiful i figured i would throw more pictures of my face on my blog hahahahahaha love me love
