Ahhh Monday.... day of surprises. First of all as you may all know monday is the day we usually go back to work... man does that suck!!! no wonder mondays have such noteriety. Also this monday was voting day, i won't say who i voted for, only that i did not vote for the liberals, but this story made me laugh and brightened up my day considerably:

"Just after noon, the man ran into a polling station in the town's stadium and tried to grab two boxes. An election official snatched one, but the man made it out with the other one under his arm.

"The suspect actually went to the parking area, placed the box down on the ground and
actually used his own personal vehicle [and] drove over the Elections Canada box," said
Const. Ken MacDonald of New Glasgow police.

The man sped away. However, officers picked him a little while later."

yup fun times... that guy is my hero in a weird, what a weirdo sort of sense.
its 6:56 the election results should be coming in farily soon... 4 minutes to be exact.

In other news i went to the optomitrist today to have my vision checked. Turns out my vision has improved remarkably since highschool. I had my vision checked then and it landed at 20/40 or about half as good as 20/20. This time i scored an astounding 20/25 which is almost but not quite 20/20. Of course you need 20/20 vision to become a pilot on the canadian armed forces for some reason, but only 20/25 vision to become a pilot by any other standard.... you see originally when i thought my vision was 20/40 my plan was to get laser eye surgery to fix this problem. But now, according to my optomitrist, my vision is too good to be corrected by laser eye surgery. The example he gave me was thus: imagine that perfect eye sight is like a 9 foot board, and crappy eye sight is like a 12 foot board... if you ask me to cut 3 feet of a twelve foot board, thats fairly easy to do, and even if i'm off by an inch or two your certinaly alot closer to having a 9 foot board. but then imagine you have a board thats 9 feet and 1/32 of an inch, it would be very hard to cut that board to exactly 9 feet! and thats what my vision is... its that 1/32 of an inch thats too small of a flaw to be corrected..... its a pretty stupid analogy yes... but they point he made is obvious. INfact he said that most laser eye surgeries only promise to correct your crappy eyesight to 20/40 or better (because 20/40 is the legal standard to drive).
anyways its kindof a bummer to me because i kinda feel like i'm between the cracks here... vision too good for surgery, but not good enough for airforce. I'm going to apply anyways and hope i can squint my way through the eye exam.

anyways...
