$6,600 to get SIN?

That's the title of the yahoo news article I just read.

Mmhhhh??? Must read further.

Reads:

"Imagine having to pay thousands of dollars just to get a card with your social insurance number.That's what some northerners say will be the result of recent federal changes to the application process.Ottawa recently altered the rules for first-time card applicants so that they can no longer apply for the card by mail.

Everyone has to show up in person at a Service Canada office, but only three of Nunavut's 28 communities have such offices. That means people in Grise (GREEZ) Fiord must travel to Iqaluit to get the card — a $6,600 airfare and a week's journey."

That cannot be right but alas sometimes the dollars are flying around in the background so fast that the FLASH himself would be in a tizzy! Not sure what went wrong with the paperwork behind this new application process but Canada is a whole remember?

OH CANADA!

Aww look how colorful our map is it's pretty!

Just because people are further north doesn't mean they aren't...umm...Canadian?  Go give them offices to process this or write an addendum into your policies that deals adequately with this situation, and hurry up,  it's embarrassing.

Sheesh!!!!

The Only True Constant in Life

Daniel Day-Lewis

I remember as a young child I had snuck downstairs past my bedtime because I saw preview on T.V. for a movie called "In the Name of the Father". I was glued to the screen for those 3 hours or so and I knew that I had witnessed a kind of true form of acting in it's finest form.

After that I have pretty much followed the man's career, granted "The Ballad of Jack and Rose" was severely strange, he really does embody these characters in the eyes like few in Hollywood can.

I highly recommend everyone goes to see "Lincoln" in the theatre before it leaves as it really feels like you are watching the president in action. Mr. Day does such a great job of commanding the kind of respect that Lincoln is historically known for with the quiet natured but firm grace that was oft left out the textbooks.

I hope this movie wins every Oscar in the Oscar bucket.

Daniel Day "what a guy"!

My Face on Facebook!

So it's become heavily apparent that Facebook is an inevitability that I must give in to.

Yes, yes indeed! Believe it I tell you I have never had Facebook. People are always flabbergasted when I mention this but for some reason it just never happened and life just went by no problemo.

Why now you ask? Well let me share with you this lol. I have had a few interviews lately for music related stuff where people ask me to "Like Them" on Facebook and I am always like "Yeah No Problem"; meanwhile having not the slighted clue on earth what the heck that means lol.

Now let me fill you in on another secret. It has nothing to do with a fear of technology, I embrace technology I am a computer nerd who works in the Software field and reads Popular Science on a regular. I think it has more to do with the fact that it just quite frankly never happened, I have no other reason.

So get ready folks, I have been FACEBOOKIZED!!! Its on par with getting shot with laser beams of 0's and 1's directly into your mind.

Within the next few days will come an artist Facebook page for me to Facebook with your Faces inside of the book domain that is titled FACEBOOK. Stay tuned!

Love and laughs galore over this subject matter,

xoxo Shafey
