Occupy this!

Apparently the word Occupy made 2011's most overused words :)  This is no surprise. However it does not mean we need to stop using it, though - some would rather use decolonize. It's more politically correct at least from the natives point of view who feel we have been occupying Montreal for the past 450 some odd years. 

Other then feeling more alive for the first time in years, the occupy movement has given me a lot of friends who are a lot like me. Maybe not on all levels, but a much wider pool of people to create bonds with.  Not the type of people I tend to meet at work in an engineering firm which is rather homogenous.  Well other then a few people who are also involved in some shape or another with the Occupy movement. 

I have two friends currently that are homeless. Well I think one is no longer considered homeless since living in this home in Longueuil starting last week. The other isn't technically, he's living with probably close to a dozen people at a communal apartment.  So far he's dropped in on us for a few days on three different occasions,  because  he needs to clear his head and get a bit of peace and quiet.   

I have a third friend, who lives in the eastern townships with her dad. She will probably be staying a few days here as well, over the next few months when she needs to be in town for a few days.  

Think this place will become an occupied home :P
