deeds/words

So I haven't been on this much and probably not many have stopped by recently. I'm not so much a man of words anymore, as I think I once was. Now I go by a much different philosophy, one that I feel sums up very well what I do and have done in work and life. "Facta non verba", or "Deeds, not words". I mean no historian, but I believe it goes back to the old addage of "actions, speak louder than words". It can very much so, be applied to what is going on today in the world. This whole political mess that is going on with the parties here in the Can. These suits need to just move on and start acting. Instead they continue to get on with this political square dance on the news and newspapers. If they took on the credo stated above, things would be moving instead of at a stalemate which it seems it has reach at this point. How do they expect things to change if they continue to stop progress with their nonsensical arguments ? Anyways, enough of the political banter.
Movies. One of my favourite escapes. Haven't seen much. TV. Another fav. I've been turned on to a show called, "The Shield". Amazing cop show. The actors are great and the topics are real. Very entertaining.
I'm only sorry I didn't catch on to it sooner, as it's in season 7 I believe. The holiday season is here, we've just got dumped with a load of snow. Sucks. I'm so psyched to get out there in the freeze to start shovelling and scraping. Music. Haven't really caught anything new, other than the old. It's pretty much the only thing you can count on not to change around here. The weather, life, your wallet. Well thats all. Not sure when the next time will be, when it is, it is. I leave with this sentiment from Scorcese's short, "The Big Shave" ('67).
I hate shaving....
