Good Bad
Fuck You Gordie. Merry Christmas.
Full faggot.
PS. Cool side burns. Lennon wants em back whenever you’re done with them.
No Joy
This is my friend Laura’s new band. They are playing tonight at Casa (St Lauren and St Jospeh) and if you are around I would definitely advocate checking them out. It reminds me of Folk Implosion and Sebadoh, so if that tickles anyones fancy then you could have yourself a new band in the old Itunes rotation.
They are totally awesome.

So Long, Marianne
I’ve been listening to a lot of Leonard Cohen lately, and during a break from work I decided to make a Cohen inspired poster. This is based off of one of my favorite songs of his, and I think it turned out pretty well. I have definitely taken a step back lately when it has come to producing personal based work, but I am really enjoying getting back into the groove of it. I think I am just a much more well rounded person when I am creating, so it is definitely a nice change of pace to stay in, drink tea and work on some art.
Todays METRO
This article ran in todays Toronto edition of the Candian newspaper ‘METRO’. I would assume at least a few hundred thousand people read this on a daily basis. Can anyone see what’s wrong with it? (click image for full story)
Snack City
This photo is dark, and my Photobooth camera is suckin’ the big one lately, but if you look closely you can see I got a bunch of snacks. I think there is nothing more I like doing then staying in, getting a ton of food, and just sitting around picking at it all night. Tonight I got myself a big bag of sweet chili and sour cream miss vickies, an Oreo ice cream sandwich (that’s what is jammed in my mouth), a bag of mixed sour candys (a staple in my life) and a 2 litre of Canada Dry ginger ale.
Oh, I am also eating left over steak from last night, trying to find where the best xmas light houses in MTL are, and watching old It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia episodes. Nights like these you can’t really go wrong with. I will probably watch ELF in a little while as it seems like the thing to do (although I watch that movie all the time regardless of it being this time of year).
New Years Resolution
I wrote out a New Years resolution earlier today. It is pretty long, and full of things I don’t even know that I am capable of. But, tomorrow I am beginning to tackle one of the first things I have on it, and hopefully it helps. I am pretty nervous, but excited at the same time.
I am hoping 2010 can start off on a positive note, and I have realized I have to make changes to begin that process. Here’s to doing something I never thought I would ever need to do.
Dinner
This is what I ate last night. Two steaks, a shit ton of potatos, and a bunch of fryed onions. I then dumped sauce all over everything (including myself, my table, and my floor).
It looks like shit, but it tasted awesome. Oh, and that is a Habs cup filled with pepsi to the right of it. It’s the only cup I could find, I in no way support the Habs. GO LEAFS!
Some of you may recall the fridge project that Gordie and I were involved with this summer. Well, I just found this photo in my inbox – it is of Gord putting together some final touches. I have censored it so that every girl who reads this blog doesn’t immediately fall in love with him.
There is nothin’ better then having one of your best buds email you nudes of himself at 130am, while he is on vacation in Miami.
Later moustache.
This is what happens when you get bored.
Work
I’ve spent the majority of the last three days working my ass off. Websites are shooting out of my hands like a wizard cast spells.
In between that I’ve had some meetings, waundered around the city in a giant parka, and watched a ton of ‘It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia’.
Being busy is a good thing, and I am enjoying it. To top off tonight I have to begin production on a music video, and then off to Blue Dog to play on my computer and hope that people dont hate hearing R Kelly mashed into Nirvana.
Oh, and the Leafs beating up on the Habs in Montreal right now makes me stoked.
Real Talk.
Chromatics – Running Up That Hill (Kate Bush Cover)
I’ve been listening to a lot of Kate Bush lately. This is a really good cover. It is pretty similar to the original, but I love the music they put behind it.
Oh, and if you freeze an apple, let it thaw a little bit and then eat it – well, it is like biting into an apple filled with apple sauce. Found that out last night, it weirded me out at first, but it eventually turned out pretty awesome. I still don’t know why I put my apples in the freezer though.
The first
It has been 11 months since I moved to Montreal. I only have one real regret, and it’s a biggie – but, you can’t dwell on the past. You can only move forward, and try to better yourself from your mistakes, and the consequences that come from them.
This last week I have gone from being 100 percent certain that I am moving back to Ontario, to completely 180′ing that decision, and realizing that instead I have to man up and fix the things in my life, as opposed to running away from them. I tend to push all of the good things in my life to the back, and only dwell and focus on the bad. It’s something i’ve done since I was a kid, and have never really dealt with it well.
Who knows, maybe things will all of a sudden be amazing. But one thing for certain is that I love this city, am glad I moved here, and wouldn’t have changed that for anything – even if I did need a bit of a push to get here…
Plus, I can’t afford a fixed gear bike, so Toronto is definitely out of the question.
H&M 2010
Now, I know I said I was going to give this blog a rest, but something had to be said about spring/summer 2o1o H&M mens line. I don’t even know where to begin, other then some of the wackiness going on with it is blowing my mind. And not at all in a good way.
If I ever saw a guy wearing some of this stuff I would walk over to him, put him in a headlock, pull out a mirror and make him stare at himself until he realized what a complete idiot he looked like. I am usually pretty down for ‘now ideas’ and that whole thing, but this is just ridiculous. It’s like the designer went back in time 25 years, opened up his older sisters closet, grabbed the stupidest looking stuff he could find and shipped it back to H&M in the future and said ‘Voila, meet 2010!!’
This just screams pretentiousness. Either that, or the design team is pulling a wicked funny prank on everyone. I can picture April 2nd coming along and them being like ‘Okay guys, here is the real 2010 catalogue. We hope you liked our hillarious joke’
If I see any of my guys friends wearing a skirt with a tassled leather jacket, and a giant fancy silk scarf, I swear to god I am going have them deported to space. At least it might go over on some other planet, that, or an alien will kick the shit out of them for being such a douche bag.
Even Gordie couldn’t get away with wearing this gear.
All blogged out.
Life has been pretty weird lately. I’m not going to get into it, but I basically lost my mind for a little while due to being totally overwhelmed with everything going on around me.
It definitely wasn’t pretty, and I don’t really want to have to go through that sort of thing again. Anyways, I think this blog is all but dead. I don’t have the motivation to write about the things that go on in my life anymore. Maybe one day when my shit gets back together, but for now I’m just going to focus on moving ahead.
Cya later.
Tour Mode Tuesdays
Here is a poster I designed and illustrated for a night some friends of mine are putting together. It actually starts tomorrow at Blue Dog, here in MTL. Hopefully some of you Montreal’ers will come out and support. It’s gonna be a wicked night of Motown and cheap drinks.
Boys Night Out Reunion Show Poster.
Here is the poster I recently put together for the BNO reunion show. They were handscreened and limited to 45, so if you got one consider it a rare piece of BNO history. Anyways, here is the poster. It is super offensive.
WHAT’S UP?!
I haven’t written on here in forever, and haven’t really thought about it either. Been listening to a ton of music these days though, and sort of been obsessing over certain bands. Two in particular are Dead Man’s Bones and Samiam.
One is super old, and the other is super new. But check them both out. Stellar, stellar tunes.
New Sufjan Stevens
I love Sufjan Stevens, a lot. And there is one particular instance where listening to him really sticks out in my mind. I think it was the 45th (exagerated) time this certain girl and I had broken up, and we were in her car at the lake in Oakville talking things out. I guess ‘Illinois’ had just come out, and I was listening to it pretty heavily at the time, with that night not being an exception. Long story short, between Sufjan and The Postal Service accompanying us that night, I don’t think anything was ever really figured out. Fast forward a little while, and we did get back together – we probably got back together a few times actually – but eventually she moved across the world, and our time came to an end. It’s crazy to think that from the age of 15 to 24, her and I probably had a million of those car sessions, with a million different types of music coming through the speakerss. But, that night was definitely the one that stuck with me, and now every time I hear Sufjan I will associate it with sitting in that Volkswagen, overlooking the lake, and trying to figure out how complicated life can be.
Oh, and here is a new Sufjan Stevens song. Enjoy.
More Fridge Door
Here is an article in The Financial Post about the fridge door project I was recently part of.
