I have learned a lot of lessons this summer and, be warned, we are taking a trip to Cliche Town, past Old Habitsville, on the road of life. On this very specific journey I have learned following your dreams is the only way to live! Let me be clear, don’t stress if you aren’t completely sure what your “dreams” are yet. It took me many years of work- ing little odd end jobs, partying...a lot, and spending money needlessly...a lot, to find a “dream.” I just all of a sudden got bored...if that is the way to put it. Sitting on my couch I started to think and as odd as this may sound, I stopped thinking logic- ally. I stopped thinking what “should” I do or what would be “smart” for my future. I found often the real dreams that light a passion in a per- sons soul have nothing to do with how much money they will make (I am not hating on money, I like it...a lot). True dreams don’t really care if other people approve of them, and mostly a dream starts to break down “ideas” of can and can’t be done. Dreams are catalysts to losing old ways of thinking and acting to create happiness. Now don’t get me wrong, this so called happiness is not as some would imagine, walks on rainbows with unicorns by your side. Happiness has a price, and it is hard work. More and more my fathers words of “you get what you put it” ring in my head. There is no escaping really really really hard work, but when you are working towards a dream or rather living your dream hard work feels different. It feels more like purpose. With purpose happiness come around for visits more often, along with the unicorns and rainbows. Again it is OK to not have a big “dream” at this moment. Is something bugging you about NAIT or praise to dish out about the school or life in But don’t be afraid to be honest with yourself about what the rest of the world? Do you have some general?

MOVIE REVIEW Horror – Canadian style By DARTANION JOHNSON @Dartanionj American Mary tells the story of Mary Mason (played by Katharine Isabelle) a medical student struggling with bills and demoralized by the field she has chosen. In a money crunch she turns to the world of stripping. Resume in hand she auditions to be a stripper but things take a turn when she’s asked to save a criminal dying from flesh wounds. Mary declines the request until loads of hush money is thrown her way. She sews up the man and vows never to do anything like that again. Next morning Mary is hounded down by Beatrice John- son (played by Tristan Risk), a plastic surgery addict who has recreated her likeness to Betty Boop, to offer Mary a new “cos- metic” job. Mary quickly rises as the best body modification surgeon, but at what cost?

The film was written, produced and directed by Canadian moviehole.net twins Jen and Sylvia Soska. Their first film, Dead Hooker in Katharine Isabelle in American Mary Trunk, led to some reviewers pointing out these were girls to watch. So how was their second film?
