it is a holiday in canada. I just remembered that. almost made it to work...
I used to work every single holiday. as long as you pay me I'll take it all.
I find it weird people say happy...- the reason you are happy is because you have the freedom that military protected for you.dbloc
- not necessarily some of the modern wars, but the wars back in the day.dbloc
- am I happy? :(
pango - just kidding. tho this day just reminded me that so many people had to die for us to have what we have. hard to be happy about it...pango
- yeah take it as you want...it makes me happy for the freedom.dbloc
