Listen, i enjoy a good deal as much as the next person, but really, boxing day?
Here we have a holiday dedicated to making people spend tons of money on presents (because lets face it, it's no longer a christian holiday) and then the very next day you go to the mall and spend even more on yourself.
It's not enough to get presents from friends and family, you've got to buy all the things you didn't get. Boxing day is a testament to human greediness.
Maybe it's because i'm working, but if i wasn't, i can promise you i wouldn't go to the mall today if you payed me.

laisse tomber les filles
i've been in the talks with my manager and family recently about a more than likely move to montreal this year. i'm so stoked on doing this and planning it out and i can't stop looking at apartements. i really need to start using my french again though, i can't apply for a job with horrendous french.

i figured out what video you meant
so i was just thinking about sweet music videos tonight, and thought i'd post them.
i'm not really into the smashing pumpkins. but this is a sick video. and the fact that it was all shot in one take is pretty sweet.
makes me mental not knowing what he says.
really this is just a super good song.
and now for a CLASSIC
oh grade 8..

negative nelly
well, im in calgary now. super nice hotel, i'll upload pictures later.
i'm so mad though. i needed to get a friends number off of facebook so that we can hang out, and had to connect to the hotels internet, and it's LUDACRISLY EXPENSIVE. so now i'm making the most out of my internet experience and posting a useless blog.
i'm going to go out for supper tonight, hopefully somewhere nice, but it's so cold here! it's 0 outside right now.
calgary is the worst, but i'm so happy to not be in winnipeg...
UPDATE: now that i've eaten some yummy food and had a good supper in an amazing restaurant i'm feeling a lot better about life. i have training tomorrow at 8:30 until 5, then shopping, then some sweet supper in said restaurant!

i haven't watched "pot psychology" since living in the old nassau house and i decided to re visit some friends. some parts are silly, but some are so funny i can't believe it.

talk show host
so after thinking about it for awhile, i've come to the conclusion that i shouldn't be here right now. i'm leaving for calgary in about 2 and a half weeks..but that sucks in a way because calgary sucks, and it's only for a week. but i really need to just go somewhere else. experience life somewhere else. utilize the years of french that i've learnt and just go to paris. so that's what i'm going to do. i'm trying to find what sort of prices i'll be paying to fly out there, but it really doesn't matter. i'll go stay with andrew, ryan, sheen and brandice.
january...that's the magical month.

....
lately i've been in a creative slump. i just haven't been happy with any of my art so i decided to look online for some inspiration. here are some of the pieces i really like:
this painting is by salvador dali. it was meant to warn soldiers about contracting diseases from having sex with european prostitutes.
i can't believe the detail, escher
escher again
and again
salvador dali
salvador dali, this blows my mind
i can't figure out how they got the water to go in that weird of a stream. this is a photo of dali but i'm not sure who took it.
escher again. perfect proportions
escher
then i went onto deviantart.com.

i hope this helps.

travel it all away
i haven't really looked for any live videos from when i saw radiohead. i knew that they existed but i just wasn't in the right frame of mind to watch them or something. there are a few and if you like radiohead (which you should..) you should watch the songs recorded in "the basement". super sick.
i thought my life was ending when they started this song:

tell me where did you sleep last night?
Nothing really too exciting to report about. here are some photos from the last two weeks.
jackie and i picked up ashley from the airport and went down to osborne for some yummy food.
such babes
this little gems' name is Krisanna, she's my neice
i had some people over for andrews last night in winnipeg
jeff and andrew DRESS THE SAME. it's weird
i miss this guy so much it's ridiculous.
and that's kind of it, i've been really out of it lately. whenever school starts i always go through a life evaluation and determine that school isn't the option right now, but i'm so bored with my life. i have some future projects that i could and should be working on though, so there's hope!

shit
at 2 am this morning my grandmother died.
when i was a kid, she used to come out to the cottage with my dad and i for 2 weeks straight. we would just hang out for 14 days straight. we would make food together, relaxe together, play card games together, i drew a lot when she knit. about 5 years ago she stopped comming out because of her health. then 2 years ago my mom and i went out to visit her in guelph ontario. i haven't seen her since and i feel like shit. i didn't get a chance to say goodbye or anything. she was a wonderful woman and i hope she's somewhere happy.

shot down
i'm really bad for procrastinating. i know i should be working harder on my art, but i just keep screwing around. i need to set myself a serious schedule to work on projects and complete things.
like homework or something, i need someone to give me serious shit if i don't work on things.
i drew tonight though for a while so i'm stoked on that.
oh, and adam found a recording of the radiohead show in montreal that we were at and it's amazing! i listened to it tonight and it was so sweet, except for the guy recording it had a silly yell.

just a body
so, i caved and now i have a blog. these are some of my pictures from this past week in montreal.
hanging out in the airport waiting for marc to arrive
the guys' "technology table"
marc d
some sights
had sushi on the first night there with tarik
the next day we waited for 3 hours in line to get into parc jean-drapeau to see radiohead
cedric showed up!
this was the park right as we were let in
this was the park behind me after more than 35, 000 people came.
notice the guy staring right at me with the skullett, he's managed to sneak into a few too many photos.
pre show
blargh. i don't have many pictures from the show, unfortunately
the next day, alycia and i went out for breakfast at this place called frootz. it was amazing
wu tang clan aint nuthin to fuck with
that night, some mayhem went down, and afterwards jeff thought it was a good idea for a picture to pretend to be pouring twizzlers into "sleeping" andrews mouth (...)
alycia thought she would serinade me with the latest and the greatest
j, andrew, chris, alycia and i took a walk through old montreal the next day before jeff and i got tattooed
got the outline done
and this is the finished product. i'll be getting one for my dad on my other foot in the next couple months
jeff got his done too
if you're looking to get tattooed in montreal i highly suggest going to studio tattoo mania, check out joel
Jeff, alycia and i went to celine dions restaurant that night in celebration of life
jeff got such a gross sandwich
i ordered a greek salad. this is apparently what celine thinks a greek salad is
i noticed after uploading my pictures that i really like to document my food. so good!
tarik and i went to a restaurant named "eggspectations" in the morning on saturday and i had really good eggs benedict. then my camera died.
boumford picked up this jem of a t shirt in a local store
after getting new batteries, we shopped around and got some sweet starbucks
and then we had the hairbrained idea to take a metro way out to nowhere, to find a really good bagle shop. we got lost a couple times but the bagels were pretty good
back at the hotel room absinthe shots went around. this is pre shot
this is after shot
i loved the metro situation there, public transportation is so shit in winnipeg compared to montreal
i'll be back there soon hopefully, just not soon enough
