Mad(e) In Canada

The following is my response to an e-mail forward sent to me by my friend Katie in Canada about Canada losing jobs to lower wages in developing nations. The original FWD is below.

Ryan! Drink Beer!

Alirght so it is about 4 p.m…. I woke up about an hour ago in my room with all the lights on, a large black mark on my hand, scratches all over my leg, the taste of bile in my mouth and a curiosity over how exactly it was that I got home… I guess …

Beyond Belfast

Alright… so I think I’m about to rush the computer with such force that my noggin and the monitor will disprove all known physics regarding two objects occupying the same time and space.
