Dear friends
Me and Livejournal have had great times since I was in Grade 10, happily discussing the merits of indie rock, filling out dumb quizzes, and getting sad about why I can't seem to understand women.
That having been said I am stopping all my writing here and moving to a new online home.
http://viachapleau.wordpress.com
"Infrastructural Nationalism" will be a personal archive to celebrate quotes and interesting tidbits that didn't make it into my professional work as a student journalist.
Right now all there is is a lame starting post, but I promise more is coming, and soon.
Good times at LJ, seriously, but I am pissed at these ads that have started coming up, and my format makes my eyes hurt.
Thanks
Chris Cooper

Christ almighty, there's a rattle in the wheel well
Dog fell asleep and man, I don't feel well
But all I need is a half decent breakfast
And I'll be back at it, dirty and reckless

My last written sentence of the academic year was something about how the world wars were both good and bad.
I will be home tomorrow probably around 6ish, hey, let's see each other!

our generation finds salvation in combinations of wood and metal and electronic signals and that nobody's banged on yet
the future looks something like.. altfolk

hi steve
can you plz send me detailed instructions on how to build an igloo
thanks,
Chris
Stephen Cooper
to me
alrightio here yu go
first, i must start with me and john h-w's gangtsta tip
did yu know fergie was a meth addict in high school?
ok here yu go
1. make a circle in the snow at least 6m in diameter
2. using snow from outside the circle, shovel a huge mound in the snow
unitil it is roughly your height
3. LIGHTLY pack the mound down using the back of ur shovel
4.wait a minimum 4 hours (or overnight) for the snow to sinter (adhere to
itself)
5.collect 60-80 sticks that are about 1 foot long and hard enough to go into
the mound without breakiing
6. once the mound sinters, evenly place the sticks inside the mound, just so
ther tips are sticking out
7.pick a spot that does not face the wind, and hollow out an entrance whole
8. now you can begin carving, this is hard for 1 person...so use two....one
be digging and one clear the snow, generally the digger puts snow on tobagin
and sents it for the clearer to dump outside
8. stop clearing the sides wen you start to hit the sticks, this is so that
u know how thick the walls r
9. wen its all hollowed, go inside and chill, as yu breath the inside snow
melts, then freezes to form a glossy hard inside wall ( a candle works to)
*steves tip= build it on a lake, it is easy to shovel on ice, and it is a
cleaner iglo cause there is no dirt in the snow. if you do so, just use a
little spray paint to mark where it is so yu wont lose it wen it snows...

"Rural Canada, although its earlier dominance was gradually eroding away, was still very important to the national ethos. Moreover, the very sense of the gradual loss of traditional rural values was critical for the Canadian psyche."
- J.M. Bumsted, A History of the Canadian Peoples
"I wish we were farmers, I wish we knew how
To grow sweet potatoes and milk cows"
- Emily Haines, Calculation Theme
It's funny how sentiments that the textbooks associate with the turn of the 20th century can linger. We cling to shreds of what once made us a nation. The shreds get smaller and harder to catch with each passing decade.

An Open Response to Jay-Z
Egyptian cotton pillows lookin’ fly
My gang’s on the street ready make a hater die
But when you’re eatin’ foie gras up in the Benjamins
It’s hard to tell G-Unit that a woman made you cry last night
I’ve got the Hummer out back with all aftermarket parts
I call up West Coast Customs if the Caddy won’t start
I’ve shaken off the Crips but I can’t shake the feeling
That some sorry-ass motherfucker just keyed my heart, check it
Ballas to the left, hoes to the right
My loneliness in the middle cuz she ain’t in sight
Well you know what, Jay, I’ve been there before
But I’ve got ninety nine problems and the bitch is ninety four
Check it
HARMONICA SOLO
Popping corks on royal estate Courvoisier
Hoes up in my bedroom in the middle of the day
But I’m sober and lonely drawing her name in the sand
With my nine-millimeter gat fucker stay away from my shit
Bringin the party and pushin’ the rocks
Ain’t got nothing on the way she talks
I don’t need the Camaro I don’t need the glocks the hatahs pushing her away just pushin her away I don’t need that anymore
CHORUS X 2

So thanks to apparent connections with the Sony corporation, I got a sweeeet camera for Christmas even though I asked for a significantly cheaper model.
It's a DSCN2 and it's got this crazy touch screen with a little pen thing........... you know what this means...... drawing mustaches on portraits I just took!!
Woooo

"Far away to the South is heard the daily scream of the steam-whistle - but from Canada there is no escape: blockaded and imprisoned by Ice and Apathy, we have at least ample time for reflection."
- Thomas Keefer in Philosophy of Railroads, published 1853
One and a half centuries later, this still rings so true.

I have a Canadian Studies exam at 2:00 pm tomorrow. We already know what questions will be on it, and have to prepare thoughtful answers.
( THESE are my study notes. )
Is it okay to feel as good as I do about being this unprepared?

And yes, I recognize the irony that the very system I oppose affords me the luxury of biting the hand that feeds. But that's exactly why priviledged fucks like me should feel obliged to whine and kick and scream- until everyone has everything they need.

Snow on the ground outside fills the room with a pure white glow, that makes you feel itchy and restless and full of potential. And I am addicted to it and full of love for the world, and more snow is falling outside.

This 'invasion' was joined by a few residents from the area, but was quickly suppressed by British reinforcements, leaving those Nova Scotians who had supported the Americans wither abjectly explaining their actions or quickly departing for American lines, leaving behind their wives and families to be sworn at and 'often kicked when met in the street' (quoted in Clark 1988: 49).

Uh, there's a bunch of reasons to assume that my parents have already started reading (or will start soon enough) this livejournal.
In the interest of what is sacred, just for a little while this thing is friends only.
Sincerest apologies to all those non-lj users who faithfully read this; I'll do what I can here.
Uh, I never thought I'd see myself say this, but comment to be added.

These guys mean the world to me; let's all wish them the best as they depart for the coast early tomorrow morning.
I will be playing guitar alone a whole lot more. It's not as fun as it sounds. I leave Chris and Becky with these words of inspiration:
I still express, yo, I don't smoke weed or a sess.
Cause its known to give a brother brain damage.
And brain damage on the mic don't manage
Nuthin'
But makin' a sucker and you equal.
Don't be another sequel
