Downloads

Do you remember Napster? It was a file exchange application that was popular in the beginning of 00's. I used this app to download many songs that were not available to buy in North America. I have been complaining about this protected-by-the-copyrights-laws world. I am not saying that I will download things illegally. In fact, I am willing to purchase digital contents. I wish we had region code free, IP addresses block free, borderless, digital contents market in the world, so that I can buy stuff in a foreign language (e.g. Japanese. What? It's my mother tongue! Lol).

Music, films, books, magazines, newspaper... All the industries really have to realise how important it is to free the market and the authorities as well.

I have been saying this repeatedly since the Napster era. You have been lazy and neglecting people like me.

Change now!

我よ | Hey, You

我よ
健康な時ほど鬱のふりをし
終わりを想像する
我よ
病気の時は苦痛に耐えれず
いつも通り生きたいと思う
勝手だな、お前
生きられるまで生きろ
アホ

Hey, you
pretending like being depressed especially when you are physically healthy and imagining an end of your life
Hey, you
When you are sick, you can't bare with the pain and you wish to live as usual
You are such a selfish guy
Live as long as you can
You, stupid

Ontario's Health Care

I have visited a hospital in Toronto last Friday because I got excessively dehydrated from the symptoms of stomach flu. This was the third time to visit the emergency as a patient in my life in Canada since 1998. I can say that I am quite (otherwise) healthy. I stole J's Friday evening from 6pm to 1am. The total length of my visit was 5~6 hours.

It sounds like that Ontarians don't like their health care system very much because of the waiting time. There are, of course, the pros and cons depending on your needs and circumstances. Overall though, Ontario's health care system isn't that bad for cost wise if you get a treatment at a hospital and as long as it is covered by OHIP. A tip is to have a little patience even when you are in pain.

Maybe, the authority can separate the emergency (life threatening) and the outpatient (non-life threatening)?
