...canada

In response to yesterdays post, my mom wanted to prove that some canada doesn't look like a scene from empire strikes back. This is picture of what her front yard looks like right now (well yesterday actually)



nearly all my family has contributed to the blog this week, interesting.

"hey tony the music teacher is here"

I received some international correspondence last week and have been delayed in posting.

I would guess that if i was unaware of the situation I would be puzzled as to if he were coming to give me guitar lessons or he just robbed a music store.

ps. I also received some great pictures from the man pictured above, the only reason i wont post them is because it is way too much of an inside joke.

whats up today

My wife and I are selling our car. We are in no NEED to sell it but have a cool offer and selling it would be dope.... I probably shouldn't say that, how is that going to help sell the car? I should say something like "my wife and I are having a baby and have massive credit card dept and if we don't sell our car we will be kicked out of our apartment and be forced to live on the street." For the time being believe that, at least till the car is sold.

"7. pellegrino bottles are the new starbux cup! more pretentious AND better for you!"

...again that means I have been ahead of the game for sometime.

Is it just me or was Kelly Clarkson the last good american idol? Seriously who is this guy?

Bryan are you going to make a new video any time soon?

Happy Memorial Day Weekend...god bless america?


p.s. to celebrate our TWO year wedding anniversary, we will be seeing Sex and The City 2....it only makes sense to see a sequel on our two year right?....stoked.

FCSI update (first of the year)

Just because this is the first on of the year doesn't mean it's been a slow year for people dressing awful. This one is a local "super hero" in Canada. Wish i knew what the emblem was.

photos by terry

While we were in Canada, my friend Terry took some photos with his little camera. I like these a lot, and not because they are of me, but because they fit the scene perfect. You can get a feel of just how cold it was.

This one is his view on the picture at the top of this blog.... art?



Thanks terry, more please.

Yo riley,

If your interested here's a link to a video I made of one of my friends watching the Real Madrid vs Barcelona....I think you'll be bummed to hear C. Ronaldo and his boys lost 2-0. I i remember a quote of you saying "I don't think i would fan out on anybody, except if I saw C. Ronaldo." If you decide to guest post it, make sure you mention that quote, or if you remember exactly how you said it, correct it.

halloween aka worst fashion day ever

Every year for halloween, and the weeks leading up to it, I find myself more and more amazed at the the variety of clothes people get away with wearing on halloween. It's all in the name of a fun. You get your typical clown, urban kid dressed as a cowboy and the costume of the year. Last year was the joker from dark knight, this year wild things....anyway. The point is those are okay costumes. There is, however, this redicouslous "i can get away with anything" attitude. You can't take a respectable uniform, such as a doctors outfit and cut a crotch length skirt and make the shirt have a belly button neckline and call it a costume. That is trashy and handing out free candy to kids is creepy... on everyday other than good old halloween.

my sister sent me this photo a few weeks ago, I was waiting for the right time to post it. You cannot see the high heal clogs or the fact that the pants are satin. If this picture was taken on saturday it would not be so funny, it would just be a lame costume.

so, Trev started blogging.... mostly about bikes.

(that's him on the left FYI)

bikes, a babe, and a banana

My friend/best man, bryan is now living in the south of france. After months of asking for him to send me video clips and photos (for my yet to be started art film), he sends me this. Thanks bryan.

Guest Blogger in Mexico

The Notorious DRL aka Da-Rell went on a "business" trip to Mexico. Tacos and cool buildings. It was hard only picking 5 out of the 87 photos. Stay tuned for when he goes to Africa...
