There stuff is always awesome, this book shouldn't be any different.

hockey

I haven't blogged about hockey in a while....probably since the olympics. I only follow hockey during the playoffs and actually only after the first round or so. Usually montreal is out of the playoffs by then so i won't have to stress about them winning.
With that said, good luck tonight!



Saw this clip today and boy is it unreal

City Island

My wife loves movies and is a member of this ting that lets you know about all the promotional screenings in the city. Monday night she noticed that there is a screening for this movie called City Island. I had never heard of it but it had Andy Garcia who is awesome...well i think he is. At any rate, we check the trailer and it looks funny and better yet, it's free. We invite out pals Colt and Abi. Usually with these promotional things, they are over booked and you gotta be there early. This time there was barely anyone in the theater. Long story short, the movie was very funny. I was laughing the entire time. I may say that a lot but this time it was true.

Thank you habitat

I have always heard that if you focus on what you love and don't do things for a reward you will be rewarded. My friend Colt and I love skateboarding and i love making videos. We collaborated and made a little video reviewing habitats Charley Harper shoes. It was fun making the video, and it has since been highlighted on habitats facebook page and charley harpers blog. That alone was more than we expected would happen. To our suprise Milo sport gave colt a call to inform that habitat had flowed us some boards as a "thank you". No habitat, thank you.


this is mid high five.



incase you missed it.

Who wants to buy a house?

The news is in, my parents are moving from Winnipeg to Ottawa.

I will never return to the house where I grew up from age 7 to 19. I am open to you guys starting a charity to raise money and buy the house. I love Winnipeg, the family and friends, the cobblestone skatespots, the winters that remind me how awesome summer is, the traffic, the slow speed limits, SuperStore, and a slew of other things. I am avoiding making a list because that could get real sentimental....

The memories I have in that house are awesome, thank you mom for making dinner, nearly, every night. Thank you dad for paying the electricity bills, Shandi for moving out of the "big" room so i could have it, Kaitlyn for being the youngest so we never had to share a car.

And to my friends, who knew they were always welcome. Wherever I live that offer still stands.




This was my room...before it became my dads office/warner brothers museum.

record store day

Record store day was last week. I forgot i took a couple pictures. I also felt the need to tell you these are from record store day because it doesn't look like it. It was fun, I had a good veggie dog and got a rad phoenix pink LP.

"de-thrown you clones and all you knuckleheads."

news

painting

My pal Colt gave me a paintbrush the other day. Its a lot better than using my wife's make up supplies. I, for some reason, don't use the right stuff. cheap paint, make up brushes, cardboard instead of canvas...whatever. Ones of these days I might be legit.

I painted this sunday morning at 7AM, after taking my wife to work.

feel free to contact me about the purchase of this original... $500 bucks.... too much?


oh yeah, i did a new header. the original for that is $600... anybody?



for those who didn't get the joke, i don't sell my art... who would buy it>?

BZK

"way" back in the 10th grade, myself and a group of friends in my computer class started a Billy Zane fan club. The name of the club was B.Z.K (billy zane kids). Basically we would just quote the lines he had in the movie zoolander, and waste time in class looking up pictures (i think we used yahoo back then). At any rate, saw this picture on GQ today and it made me stoked.



my pal Ryan worked with him a couple years ago on a movie (or something) and told me that he would just look at himself in the mirror for lengthy periods of time.....AWESOME.



3 post today?....someone must be done with school....

The Hammer and White Lightning Reunion

jef came to visit,
We went bowling............. obviously.

what my blog has been missing.

I remember about a year or so after I started blogging (2004 for those who don't know) a big thing to do was take pictures of your food (mostly breakfast). I thought it was kinda weird, but at the same time awesome. While having my breakfast yesterday I realized that i have never, at least to my knowledge, blogged my breakfast.

Without further delay..........................
...fruit loops and magic star colabo!....yes my bowl has a straw
and yes I'm 24 years old...whatevs

Passion Pit in Salt Lake.

Saw Passion Pit last October if you remember, It was awesome and fairly low budget. Now a couple commercials later, and heavy MTV rotation, they have a decent amount of money. As always, I have a nice little (shaky) video for you.

Mayer Hawthorne was there too... pretty awesome.



sorry for lack of post.....finals week.

little video for milo

My friend Colt asked if I would produce a video he wanted to do for Milo sport reviewing habitats new shoes. In my typical fashion, I used my camera from 8 years ago. It gave it the look we were going for. My other friend Josh created the song just for the video.

HAPPY EASTER


ps. I'm still not a fan of youtube.

easter + michael jackson + Jesus = robin of the hood?

My dad sent me these....more and more reasons to be in Winnipeg.


Las Vegas polaROIDS

I haven't posted since tuesday (for those 3 of you that pay attention) because the weather has been so bad, i haven't been motivated to do much of anything. The concert also played a negative string. At any rate...we were in Las Vegas over the weekend and I have a couple pictures. Like in trips past, I converted them into lame little polaROIDS.


They turned the lights off for "earth hour", looked like a ghost town.


These are my favourite buildings, they are part of the new city center. designed by Daniel Libeskind and David Rockwell (tha same people who did the royal ontario museum of the arts)


learning a "lesson" in gambling... It was a lot like Rusty on vegas vacation "i put money in the machine and I won a car"
