My interests were aroused, and my faith in the cliches of the subject destroyed, as so often with other subjects, by the discussions with my friend, Aaron Director.

I would love to get great performances from actors as a director, because that's what I'm always looking for, a director that's going to help me go places I've never been before.

I am a subject of the British Crown, but whenever I have to choose between the interests of England and Canada it is manifest to me that the interests of my country are identical with those of the United States of America.

Walk Upon The Water
My friends and I took a walk today
To a place weve been before
We flipped around like a wild machine
Till we stopped down by the store
Someone said
Lets go for a walk upon the water
Lets go for a stroll across the sea
First one, follow me
Amidst my thoughts didnt feel inclined
To drift into the bay
By now my friends, could see their minds
As I watched them drift away, all singing
Chorus
Final boarding time
Now their souls are washed up
Faith destroyed their minds
Better get the life inspector
Bring along his mind director
You know Im innocent
I just didnt expect their trip to last
With the gale force that crossed their path
I could see them sinking fast, still singing
Chorus
Final boarding time
Now their souls are washed up
Faith destroyed their minds
Better get the life inspector
Bring along his mind director
This tale of common sense will end on
Please dont drink and drive
Especially when youre driving friends
Along the waterside, still singing
Chorus
Chorus
Follow me, follow me, follow me
Chorus

I think one of the major things a director has to do is to know his subject matter, the subject matter of his script, know the truth and the reality of it. That's very important.

New Canadian Ideas Mar 17th,2011
New ideas should be debated so that we can change,
Why should this be blocked by politicians afraid to arrange?
Could have compulsory voting and binding referendums now?
They love their first-past-the-post but it’s not right somehow.
Proportional representation ideas are forbidden,
Death with dignity discussions are all well hidden,
And appointed Supreme Court decisions are often indiscrete,
So we have killing abortion clinics on almost every street.
Canadians should not be allow more than two wives,
Even if two or three more are allowed or tend to arrive,
Subjects that are not politically correct should be discussed,
And these subjects should not be treated with disgust,

Humility for the holder
The king honouring his subject,
The subject can boast it off.
The subjects complimenting their king,
The king must not beam with it..

No More Clichés
Beautiful face
That like a daisy opens its petals to the sun
So do you
Open your face to me as I turn the page.
Enchanting smile
Any man would be under your spell,
Oh, beauty of a magazine.
How many poems have been written to you?
How many Dantes have written to you, Beatrice?
To your obsessive illusion
To you manufacture fantasy.
But today I won't make one more Cliché
And write this poem to you.
No, no more clichés.
This poem is dedicated to those women
Whose beauty is in their charm,
In their intelligence,
In their character,
Not on their fabricated looks.
This poem is to you women,
That like a Shahrazade wake up
Everyday with a new story to tell,
A story that sings for change
That hopes for battles:
Battles for the love of the united flesh
Battles for passions aroused by a new day
Battle for the neglected rights
Or just battles to survive one more night.
Yes, to you women in a world of pain
To you, bright star in this ever-spending universe
To you, fighter of a thousand-and-one fights
To you, friend of my heart.
From now on, my head won't look down to a magazine
Rather, it will contemplate the night
And its bright stars,
And so, no more clichés.

Who Runs Thıs Outfıt?
Can the subject of assisted suicide be discussed?
And why do so many judges look at this with disgust?
Do we have any control over Canadian legal discussions?
Is this forbidden in parliament for fear of repercussions?
Should politicians be allowed to discuss this subject?
Would the Supreme Court consider such a discussion, a defect?
Should politicians be allowed to change Canadian laws?
Abortion clinics, injection sites, death and other flaws?
Binding referendums and Right-to-Die groups are unknown here,
Our timid politicians wont touch this subject because of fear,
The Supreme Court might tell them that they can’t do this or that,
Who runs this outfit and can politicians go to bat?

Ignorance
Ignorance is a dreadful enemy
A malady like psychosis
An ailment with scary prognosis
A disease every human must avoid
Ignorance is lunacy
It is a disease of the brain
Holding the mind captive
Blinding its subject from the truth,
Jaundicing the views of its client
Ignorance is an albatross
Brain behind poor decision making
Culprit for derisorily defective reasoning
Rendering its host a nuisance
A liability in useful debates and discussions
From ignorance we must be free.
Ignorance we must strive to banish
To enable us to be accomplished,
Partakers in discussions,
And assets to finding solutions.

Cliches about supporting the troops are designed to distract from failed policies, policies promoted by powerful special interests that benefit from war, anything to steer the discussion away from the real reasons the war in Iraq will not end anytime soon.
It's a dumb question, because I don't look at things as a black director, just as a director, so ask me as a director first and we can segue into the colour thing later.

Sin, Salvation, Hope, Love, Faith
Sin comes from the Devil.
Salvation comes from God.
Hope comes from the Bible.
Love comes from the people.
Faith comes from the heart.
The Devil destroys Faith and Salvation.
When Faith and Salvation are gone,
Hope is destroyed.
When hope is gone,
Love is destroyed.
When love is gone,
Than chaos begins.

With out a Friend
With out of friend
Is like having no mind and soul
With out a friend
life feels to short
With out a friend
you fell empty inside
With out a friend
you wont feel the love
When you fall you don't have
that friend to catch you
With out him
I'm nothing
With out his faith
faith means nothing
With out his love
Love doesn't mean nothing
With out his Friendship
What is Friendship
With out a friend
A friend is with out him

On A Road Febrile
On a road febrile a week ago
By a demon with burning eyes
To a zone of shivers and chills
Dragged upward me to undergo
A turmoil of pathogenic battle..
His virological agents expectorated, spewed
That my defense system aroused
Provoked my red and white army all
To combat, fight in restless silence
A helping friend analgesic, antipyretic
Blanketed me to rest aesthetic
Done all well in solace
Destroyed the road febrile there so

And in another point of view, I think it is right that the address of a president should be on his own subject, and that different subjects should be thus brought in turn before the meetings.
