I’m so in touch with students, thank god for the S.U.B
So I’m sure since the destruction of my infamous, yet short-lived thank you post, everyone has been wondering wither his merci posting? Well it’s here friends, I want to officially thank Hienekan for getting me so drunk tonight, and also Disarono Amaretto, and the cheapest rum in the liquor store, Captian Lamb’s. THank you - from the bottom of my wallet. But on to the race. I was a little dissapointed in some of the races, I mean i had hoped for experience to win out all around- and this is more or less because I was so disgusted at how experience was treated as a whole accross the debate. But for serious- in GENERAL i was quite pleased in how the elections turned out. Thank you candidates for contributing all you did to this race, to my cause, to everyone. It’s freaking amazing to have competition like you.
On to VFM. I was a little bit frustrated to see this race go like it did. Do not get me wrong, I was exstatic, and absolutely SO immensely grateful to see that I had been graced with 5th place in VFM competition. Thank ALL OF YOU for your votes, your support, and your constructive criticism.- But I felt like there were so many VFM (and by vfm i mean true entrepreneurs) who deserved recognition. I guess let me just say that , Beer Tribunal, you were fucking robbed, and you were robbed by rich men (metaphorically). And I think it’s tacky, class-less, and fucking pathetic. But that’s just how I feel.
On to how I feel today, today I was sitting in Buch A- common territory for Artsies, and I was unexpectedly and … fabulously? ATTACKED by the Reiki association of UBC. Let me just get this straight. UBC gives these people room to flail their arms around in peace- and in response they end up loitering around campus giving fabulous advice to everyone they meet? And by fabulous advice I am clearly alluding to their insistant harassment of their fellow students. Let’s just break this UBC REIKI phenomena down a little.
First of all- I too wish I could be a fantastic Harlequin Doll. Apparent all reiki students are, since the one obsessed with my spiritual well being was apparently wearing a cross between a delicious chef’s hat, and a checkered vans shoe. Do not ask me to explain how footwear and head apparel became interwined. It is an unholy union that I dare not speculate too deeply into. But suffice it to say that I am shocked by their… martial bliss? I am equally shocked by the UBC reiki association’s deep devotion to golden kimono coats- but that’s an entirely other story.
I guess the overwhelming theme of this post is this : IT IS NOT OVER UBC.
I have too much to say, too many obnoxious opinions, and too many ins with student government officials. So from now on, maybe not here, but I will be reporting on the excessive, fantstic, and slightly unnerving choices made here on the UBC / Vancouver scene. whether they be political, social, or fashionable. There are a lot of bold choices going on, and this is one of them.
Look forward to B.C.B.C - BOLD CHOICE BRITISH COLUMBIA- it’s coming… and it is FEIRCE.
Thanks again for all the support,
