You will regret the things you did not do
more than those you did that went badly

101 Things I Learned in Fashion School
101 Things I Learned in Fashion School
This is a book review, not experience sharing because I have never gone to fashion school. While it may be tempting, fashion design is listed among the worst 5 useless degrees currently by articles on some big sites like Yahoo!… for what those opinions are worth. Fortunately for me, I have a great job not involving fashion design and am doing it for love, not money.
If You’re Canadian, Please – Watch This Video!
There’s this really great video online called Canadian, Please that breathes Canadian patriotism, humour, groove, Canadiana… and it has just 418,000 views in 2.5 months as of this posting??? Compare that to United Breaks Guitars by my local Nova Scotian and former songwriting teacher, Dave Carroll, which has 5.4 million hits starting 2 weeks later… out of just 10 weeks ago!
By the looks of the 8,600+ comments for Canadian, Please, a lot of those who watched it and loved it weren’t even Canadian!
Come on, Canada! Give it a click and spread the word about all those lovely things about this great country of ours! There are over 30 million of us. Surely we could get it 30 million hits!
Or are we really all that apathetic and couldn’t care less like the world says we are? Which, interestingly enough, is one of our endearing qualities compared to certain opinionated other countries. 🙂
p.s. They forgot to mention the main and most challenging step for how to live in this great country of ours, which is navigating the incompetent federal immigration system. If our immigration system were a man, you couldn’t give him enough Viagra and Cialis to make him functional! Hmmm. I think there’s a song in there…

LYRICS
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Even if in winter things tend to freeze
We’ve got the world monopoly on trees
And our country’s bordered by three different seas
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
We invented the zipper, we’ve got expertise
We made insulin to combat disease
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
CHORUS
Brits have got the monarchy
The US has the money
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The French have got the wine and cheese
Koalas chill with the Aussies
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
Et si ce n’était pas assez
On a deux langues officielles:
L’anglais et le français
Ooh la la
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
Where else do you find mounted police
Or go to the hospital and not pay fees
Yeah I know that you wanna be Canadian, please
And when freshwater is in high demand
We’ve got the world’s largest supply on hand
So you know that we could make a pretty good friend
But it’s even better if you can be…
CHORUS
Brits have got the monarchy
The US has the money
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The French have got the wine and cheese
Koalas chill with the Aussies
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
Et si ce n’était pas assez
On a deux langues officielles:
L’anglais et le français
Ooh la la
So you’re thinking to yourself,
“How do I live in this beautiful country?”
Well we’ve got some steps for you to follow…
STEP 1: Lose the gun
STEP 2: Buy a canoe
STEP 3: Live multiculturally
STEP 4: You’re ready, there is no more!
We got beavers, caribou and moose
We got buffalos, bears, and Canadian goose
And we’re sorry about Celine Dion
But she did do that good song for James Cameron…
CHORUS
Brits have got the monarchy
The US has the money
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The French have got the wine and cheese
Koalas chill with the Aussies
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
The Greek chilled out with Socrates
Can’t build a wall like the Chinese
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
In Kenya they have safaris
We’ve missed lots of other countries
But I know that you wanna be Canadian
