-Both of the divorced get an equal share of material property.
-Material property will not be argued over unless outside of court and outside of the justice system.
-Each material possession's name will be written on a piece of paper and put into a device that will shuffle them at random. Each belligerent will blindly take a possession name out of the shuffle device, and will now legally own it for themselves.
-The latter will not apply to possessions which were owned prior to marriage by a single belligerent.
-If mental disorder is the grounds upon which one parent wishes to have full custody of any offspring, the disorder must be of a nature that may endanger the well being of the children, and the disorder must be medically as well as psychologically proven prior to divorce trial.
-Unless the latter is proven, both parents must agree on equal amounts of time to be in custody of of the children, unless one parent wishes for less time, and the other agrees to the reduced time.
-Unless both parents agree, neither parent can leave municipal or provincial boundaries well in custody of the children.
-If one parent decides/needs to leave municipal, provincial, or international boundaries while the children are in there custody, they must allow the other parent to have custody for there duration of absence, unless otherwise decided by both parents, in which case the children will be put in the care of a certified and qualified guardian.
-If two individuals have a child, yet aren't married, the rules of children during divorce will still apply during separation.
-If two individuals have been engaged in a romantic relationship while living together and sharing possessions for over 3 years, yet were never never married, the property laws of divorce will still apply.
-All divorce laws apply to same-sex couples as long as they live together or have adopted a child, whether they are married or not.
-Shared residences are not to be an article of property included in the Property Possession Shuffle.
-During divorce, shared residences must be sold by both belligerents, unless previously owned by one belligerent prior to marriage, or unless both belligerents agree to one belligerent paying the leaving belligerent the difference in the amount of the housing purchase; otherwise, both belligerents are required to find new housing.
-Alimony will not be paid by or to either party. Only child support will apply.
-If a restraining order has been issued by one belligerent against the other, it will not apply when the custody of children is being exchanged, unless a dangerous mental disorder in one belligerent has been proven prior.
-If, collectively, both belligerents share possession of an uneven amount of property (ex: 7 pieces of property, in which one belligerent would otherwise get 1 more article of property than the other), the belligerents will be given 2 options: 1: sell the piece of property to the state for the price it was purchased, regardless of damage (unless utterly severe) and split the amount of financial gain equally, or 2: one belligerent gains the consent of the other to pay them the difference in price of purchase (once again, regardless of damage unless severe).
All material possessions purchased by the state will be used by the state in any way the state sees fit.
-Cost of a child's schooling and school-related materials will be split evenly between both parties, as well as any medical expenses.
-If both parents share different religious beliefs (ex: one is a Christian and the other is an Atheist) neither will be allowed to push there religious beliefs on the children. The children may make an informed decision on there own.
-Once a child turns 18, the jurisdiction of divorce law becomes entirely obsolete.
-When a child turns 14, they may choose to stay full time, or spend more time, with a single parent if they so wish. If they decide to stay full time with one parent, that parent may now leave the municipal area (whether to move, or simply go on vacation) without the consent of the other parent. HOWEVER: the parent may not leave the province or country with the children without signed permission from the other parent.
-The parent who does not have custody of the child will continue to pay child support. However, the amount paid may be cut in half if there is only one child, and the parent with full custody makes over $50,000 annually (after deductions).
-The parent without custody may appeal for custody for one weekend every month (that would be involuntary on the child's part) until the child turns 16, at which point the child can make the decision to no longer allow the One Weekend Policy to apply. Otherwise, visiting is voluntary on the childs part of any time agreed to by both the child and the parent without custody, despite any conflicting wishes of the parent with full custody.
-No parent may preach hateful things to the children, whether it be about the other parent, ot about personal opinion regarding peoples of different race, religion, ethnicity, or sexual preference.

Not much in the way of ranting.
Well, I hope everyone can excuse my long 'cyber-absence' as I guess you would call it; I've been quite busy with school, friends, and short periods of relaxing over the past few weeks.
I was hoping to get another full-fledged article up before the end of September, but by the looks of it, that may not be possible. If it is, it's coming your way this weekend; otherwise, your waiting until the beginning of October.
This is just a quick update on how I've been and what I've been up to, so I suppose I should get to that: I guess the few main highlights of the past few weeks would have to be the fact I was (and still am) attempting to get my Essentials Math 11 course switched to an online course (which would be the same class, just myself doing it independently in a quiet, more favorable environment.)
My mom, on the other hand, seems to think there's some sort of moral dilemma involved in simply signing the paper as to allow me to get out of my noisy Prep-filled math class that, I openly admit, I get jack-shit bugger-all done in; or, when I do, most if not all of it ends up being wrong (today being a prime example due to the fact that I did an entire 5 page package, and everything on one page was correct, while everything on every other page was entirely incorrect.) God I hate math so much.
Anyways, aside from the juicy little bit of info that Brian Raimondo (from To Contradict Kyran) broke one of my guitar strings and I haven't played guitar (my guitar, anyways) since the end of summer break, that's all I've got to say today.
Be on the look out for my next full-fledged article either this weekend, or at the beginning of October.
Peace out, everyone.
And to everyone who is enrolled in any sort of school, I wish you all the best of luck this year.

Social Groups and Cliques in My School
Over the past 4 years, I've observed as new cliques and social groups have slowly formed or suddenly sprung up all throughout the schools I've attended; in this article, I hope to show my readers the groups that have been formed over the course of those 4 years.
PART 1: THE CLIQUES
Cliques, by definition, are almost exactly the same as social groups with a few major differences: they do not permit just anyone; they are exclusive to a select few (or a select many, depending on the size of both the schools population, as well as the community). Unlike social groups, many members of a clique are forced to either pretend and/or adopt the same interests, styles, friends, and hobbies of the rest of the group. In this part, I will be introducing you all to both the main cliques themselves, as well as the spin-off and wannabe cliques. Please note that these cliques don't name themselves, nor do they identify by these names. These socially identifying names have been labeled both by me, as well as by the schools general public. Lets begin with:
Area 1: The Prep Hierarchy
THE ULTRA PREPS:
are very materially obsessed, as well as very materially oriented. In other words; if you don't have the right bling, the right clothes, the right hairdo, or the right attitude you are either exempted from the group, or you are a target of psychological bullying, as well as possibly physical harassment.
They often use drugs and drink alcohol, but not to any addicting or lethal extent; just enough to show "what they're worth" to the other members of the clique.
These people tend to either be narrow minded, or hide there open-mindedness as to remain part of the group.
This group demands respect throughout the school. If they are disrespected, consider yourself lucky if all you get is constant psychological harassment. In most cases, they'll challenge you to a fight, or preemptivley attack you in or outside of school.
Every other clique identifies with them to some degree; most more than others.
Some members become so popular with other groups that they may end up branching off and creating there own minor clique.
People of this clique tend to be very into sports; both on the TV screen as well as on the court or field. They also tend to think they're better then almost everyone else, and as such act quite smug.
THE MIDDLE PREPS:
Tend to be people who want to be part of the bigger group, and as such are accepted by them to an extent, but not to an all-involving extent. As such, they tend to have most (if not all) of the same qualities of the Ultra Preps, just to a blunter effect. They are also more accepting, but not by much. When accepting a new member, they are quite reluctant with them to begin with.
THE SEMI-PREPS:
Although accepted to an extent by the other higher Prep Cliques, this clique has much less restrictions, and tends to be a bit more open-minded when it comes to almost everything.
Although they still dress in the same basic form as is typical to all preps, and partake in the same sort of drinking binges as well as drug parties, they will socialize with people who are members of social groups, or who are of a lower Prep ranking as they are.
Despite there widened horizons of acceptance, they are still very picky and restrictive when it comes to new direct members.
They also tend to refrain from intimidating other people for any reason whatsoever, although it isn't unheard of that it can happen from time to time.
Area 2: The 'Other' Cliques
THE WANNABE PREPS:
Usually unaffiliated with any of the other Prep Cliques, this group is constantly striving for some sort of acceptance from either the Ultra Preps, or the Middle Preps. Although the very odd member of the Wannabes is indeed accepted into either one of the cliques on rare occasion, they are usually treated with less tolerance then the other members of the clique.
Semi-Preps are the only direct members of the Prep hierarchy to directly socialize with this clique; and even they find them to be quite intolerable at times.
Some (if not most) members of this clique tend to suffer from the psychological disorders known as the Inferiority Complex, or the Superiority Complex (although it's debatable that alot of the members of the actual Prep hierarchy suffer from the same problems).
THE DRUGIES: Also known as the Stoners or the Skids
This clique is only restrictive for one reason: the only way you can become a member is if you do drugs. Otherwise, your out.
If not for that obvious fact, this clique could be identified as an all-accepting social group; alas, there single restriction is a large one for most.
The Drugies are one of the only cliques to show no interest in the Prep Hierarchy, although some members would be more then happy to hang out with any of the Prep groups, providing all they're doing is either drinking or smoking.
THE GOTH/EMO'S:
don't identify or socialize with any other clique or social group. Although low in numbers, they are very obvious and distinctive in a crowd.
There group is oriented with things like Satan, violence, darkness, evil, anime, and occasionally witchcraft (as such, this group corresponds with all its required features as seen by popular culture).
This clique is probably one of the most restrictive and narrow minded of all the cliques, and accepts very few people.
They also engage in probably the most dangerous amount of drug use as compared to every other clique (even the Drugies).
PART 2: THE SOCIAL GROUPS
A social group, by definition, is a group of friends with similar interests, who are more then willing to accept new members at any given time.
Despite this, there are still a few distinctively labelled social groups who, despite there close ties with other social groups, are still divided to an extent.
THE DRIFTERS:
are people who drift from one social group to another. Despite there wide acceptance of everyone, it can be risky on occasion because sometimes a Drifter can inadvertently drift on the path that leads towards cliques such as the Prep Hierarchy (although I've only seen that happen once).
They tend to be rightfully popular and spend alot of there time hanging out with friends of different social group origin.
THE CAFFETERIANS:
tend to spend most of there time at the tables in the cafeteria (when not in class). The only reason they aren't part of an entirely unified social group is simply due to there location. They are visited by Drifters at very frequent intervals within the time frame of a week.
THE DORK NERDS:
Although a social group, they tend to keep to themselves despite there physical proximity to any other social group (usually due to feelings of inferiority and low self-esteem).
They tend to excel in the the academic half of school, but are a constant target of both physical and psychological harassment from the Prep Hierarchy.
Most, if not all of the members of the Dorks tend to be quite clumsy and do indeed stay true to the stereotype.
They never go to anyone, but if someone was to come to them as to become a part of there social group they would accept them after a very short while. Drifters will occasionally visit them, but will usually refrain mainly to avoid becoming a target of Prep cruelty.
THE ATTRACTIVE NERDS:
tend to be quite popular, even occasionally among members of the Prep Hierarchy. They succeed both academically and socially, and are usually sportsy and outgoing. They can, on occasion, be mistaken to be Preps, but always turn out to be quite the opposite. Drifters will commonly visit them.
THE WANNABE POPULARS:
are always searching for acceptance from the Preps, but still tend to be quite outgoing, as well as very open-minded and accepting. Some of them only wish to join the Prep Hierarchy as to start a school-wide revolution to bring the Preps to an end, while others plan to either hide there open-mindedness and acceptance in favor of the Prep state of mind, or convert Preps to join different social groups. They are largely unsuccessful, but on the odd occasion, we see the nest being shaken abit.
THE NEUTRALS:
Largely left alone by the Prep Hierarchy, this social group is full of people either to shy to make new friends, or simply unwilling. On occasion they can be a minor target for the Preps, but it most cases, they stay true to there name and are left alone. If they do make new friends, its usually with visiting Drifters.
Well, that's my analysis of my school life that I've been observing over the past 4 years; I hope you all enjoyed. Peace out.

Back to the Cage
No, obviously I didn't mean that literally.
But yes, it is September, and I am back at school now (sadly).
My summer was loads of fun; one of my favorites I'd have to say, and I'm really going to miss those never ending days of perpetual laziness and thoughtlessness, as well as the days of simple-minded fun with friends.
I guess it is time to exercise my intellect once again, as it hasn't been up to par for the past couple of months, as entertaining as its been with a nearly shut-down brain.
This year is full of promise, as well as interesting possibilities, twists, and turns (one of those twists and turns being that my younger brothers grade now attends the same school as me, which hasn't occurred since elementary school about 4 years ago; as well as one of those interests being that I've made a load of friends from my brothers grade, despite my initial reluctance to making friends two years younger then me, due to the mental block I had put up due to my perception of my brothers outright constant annoyance and immaturity).
It should be interesting to see how all these different factors unfold over the duration of the next ten months (which will be a very long ten months, might I add).
As all of you may already know, I've taken two attempts at getting a girlfriend this past summer; both failed very early on in the relationship (my first attempt only lasted about 3 days before she told me she couldn't shake her feelings for me as no more then a friend, my second attempt only lasted about a week, and was both initiated and ended via text messages; we only actually saw each other briefly in person when we went to go see the money-grabbing Hasbro-based movie G.I. Joe, and she broke up with me despite the fact that she was the one that wanted me to ask her out).
There was another girl who was quite a big mental player for me, to whom I liked for quite awhile, and since the abrupt end of my last "relationship" I've been trying to actually straighten out my definitive feelings for her, as so I can see if I actually want to continue to pursue her any further, or just drop that whole thing and move on; again, another thing school may resolve simply due to my constant presence.
As for classes, they aren't very incredible or filled to the brink with friends this semester; in fact, as far as I know, only one person I know will be in one of my classes.
This semester I've got Introductory Spanish 11, Essentials of Mathematics 11, Law 12, and Social Studies 11. Next semester I have Guitar 11, Digital Media 11, Drama: Film and TV 11, and English 11 (in which Digital Media and English I have a good number of friends in; sadly, those classes don't begin until after Christmas though, which is still 3 months and about 3 weeks away... which I guess isn't actually that long if you think about it).
Completely off-topic to this particular blog post, but right on the spot for my previous post is the latest news on the paranormal phenomena that's been occurring in my home lately, and boy do I have some interesting news:
-Just the other day, a couple of friends of mine stayed over at my place for the night (one of them being Brian Raimondo from To Contradict Kyran), one of the main reasons being to assist in investigating, as well as attempt to experience some of these events first-hand, and experience then first hand they did.
Despite a lack of any real action while we were downstairs in near pitch dark, we did hear some strange sounds like wrapping on the wall, things dropping, and the sound as if wind was being cycled throughout the house, despite a lack of any windows being open to the sensation of any moving air at all.
Finally, after coming back from a quick walk, we were ready to settle down for the night; I slept in my room while they both slept in the vacant room of my brother, to whom was and still is at my dads place.
One of them slept on a mattress on the floor, while the other slept on my brothers bed itself.
While watching TV, the TV turned off by itself, despite the fact that the controller was face up on the coffee table sitting next to the bed. It repeated this 2 more times, and then finally Brian turned it off for the night, abit uneasy and creeped out, saying that he felt as if he was being watched. After turning it off, it turned back on once again. Once again, he turned it off.
They also both told me that they could hear scratching on the wall periodically throughout the morning.
-Another interesting occurrence was when a fan which is in my living room tipped over about halfway towards the floor, and then lifted itself back up again, defying the very laws of physics themselves.
-Something else of some importance is when I walked into the kitchen once time, a cracked, screaming face covered my vision for a few moments, and then disappeared almost as quickly as it had appeared. I was quick to run out the door and calm myself down outside for about 20 minutes.
-And last but not least: this morning when I woke up and opened the door, both cats were in front of it, one hissing blankly in the direction of my door, the other hissing in nearly the opposite direction at virtually nothing. For the entire morning I felt quite uneasy.
Well, that's all I've got for today; I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on both my life and my paranormal activities in the near future. Peace out.

-And last but not least: this morning when I woke up and opened the door, both cats were in front of it, one hissing blankly in the direction of my door, the other hissing in nearly the opposite direction at virtually nothing. For the entire morning I felt quite uneasy.
Well, that's all I've got for today; I'll be sure to keep everyone updated on both my life and my paranormal activities in the near future. Peace out.

Evidence thay my house may be haunted.
Well, I'm going to cut to the chase immediately; no need for any introduction, you all should know who I am, so here's some evidence of this strange, slightly frightening possibility:
1: Every October, I swear I can hear someone whispering my name from my closet, waking me up at least three times a night. Initially, I was terrified, but have learned just to go back to sleep after it wakes me up. It's not enough dialogue to be definitive, because its faint enough that it could just be my imagination interpreting some other sort of sound to seem as if its saying my name. Although strangely, its enough to wake me up.
2: Once, about a year ago (June of 2008 I believe, prior to the existence of this blog), I walked past my brothers room which had the door wide open, revealing quite a typically large mess, and a mattress sitting on his bed frame without any sheets, pillows, or blankets.
Absolutely no one was home (my brother had gone to stay at a friends place overnight, and my mom was at some party at a bar down the street). I kept walking, and went to go grab something from my room.
When I was walking back downstairs, I glanced into my brothers room once again, and saw that the mattress was no longer on his bed frame, but was instead propped against the wall on the opposite side of the room.
Alarmed, I quickly called up a friend of mine and frantically told him what had just happened.
He seemed quite alarmed as well, but after about 5 minutes he began to take it in a much lighter, more comical tone (to my annoyance).
3: Just the other day, at around 6 or 7 in the evening, 3 or 4 pots and a pan which were all on the stove away from areas to which they could preemptively just topple to the floor (or, if one was the topple to the floor, the others would still remain where they were). Instead, out of nowhere, there was a loud bang. I went to go check it out from where I was in the living room, and found all the pots and the pan that had previously been on the stove on the floor.
At first, my mom was worried it was the rodents which had recently been exterminated from our home; my moms boyfriend was quick to point out that, for one, the rats where supposed to be gone, and for two, there was no way these rodents could have pushed these pots and pans off the stove; or, if they could, they certainly couldn't have simultaneously and gotten away quick enough for me to not notice.
My mom then suggested that it might have been one or both of the cats which live here as well; my moms boyfriend was quick to inform her that both cats were behind the door to the upstairs, and had been for about an hour or two.
4: My moms boyfriend told me that one night not to long ago, he came downstairs for some reason, and as he was descending the stairs he could hear one of the cats meowing quite loudly as if she was in a fight or being handled roughly; at first, he thought it might have been that both cats had gotten into some kind of brawl with each other.
As soon as he opened the door, the cat quickly ran to him and huddled very close to his legs, her eyes wider then he had ever seen them, and her tail sticking straight up.
He quickly looked around for the other cat, but after searching downstairs for a few minutes, he peaked outside and saw the other cat was lying lazily on the lawn. There was no way both cats had fought it out.
He also informed me that he couldn't sleep for the rest of that night due to him feeling as if he was being watched.
5: Another thing my moms boyfriend told me was that at times, he could inexplicably smell roses, despite that absence of any roses or perfumes of such nature in the house.
This piece of evidence is probably easily explainable though, so I wouldn't look to it to attempt to prove anything, although it is a curious occurrence (personally, I have experience nothing of that nature, but then again, my nose tends to be quite stuffy alot of the time).
6: This occurrence, which took place last night, is the occurrence which prompted me to look at all these strange occurrences abit more seriously; at around midnight, a large fan in the living room which is always seems to be on nowadays due to the heat, jerked all the way down, and then all the way back up on its supporting poll.
I didn't actually see it personally, despite my prescence in the room, but my moms boyfriend who was playing his PlayStation 2 saw it. I can vouche for him though, because I certainly did hear it, although I didn't think much of it because I thought the sound might just be the house expanding or contracting like it seems to do quite often.
Thats all the evidence I have right now, but if any other strange phenomena occurs, I'll be sure to keep everyone updated. Peace out.
