look at me

earthquake, wind warning, rain warning, and then tornado warning!? what the fuck. luckily the tornado didnt make it into tornto but it came close

been another couple weeks since i posted last. anyways a quick sum up of mostly everything. kharan came from ottawa to spend a day and night with me here. went out the night before and almost slept through my alarm. woke up last and had to rush to the train station. once there it took us another 30 minutes probably to find each other. pretty useless. gave him a quick tour of downtown and cmae back to the house. bought a bbq at walmart and stocked up on beer. kharan, julie, and myself had a good little bbq and some drinks then headed to a friends for a birthday gathering. a few days after that rom's aunt hooked me up with a bike so i can cruise the streets again. i cant remember if i said earlier, my tires got slashed at work one night, and i just dumped it on the street instead of walking it home. been working lots. then on the 11th went to rom's convocation. she officially graduated! very stoked! went out to dinner with her fam and then went out later that night wih the other grads to the bar for a few more drinks. the next day, woke up at 10am to watch world cup action. not the most exciting game but whatever. then went to sneaky dees in the afternoon to watch england play the states. after a few pitchers throughout the day, went home and passed out for a couple hours. woke up and then went to castle grey skull for a going away party. came home later and went to bed. woke up the next morning, watched some more soccer, and then zroy showed up at the house. went skating with a couple dudes out of the downtown core. sick park just wasnt in the mood really. it was so humid and it must have looked like i had just been swimming. sat on the subway, stinky and sweaty, got home showered and it was time for a party. we were having a little shaker at the house, to celebrate julies birthday and rom's moms birthday and also a celebration for the grads. cooked some hot dogs, drank some beers, and even ate some ice cream cake. woke up this morning feeling not so hot but whatever. drank enough beer this weekend to last me the end of the month. went to work after 3 days off and got my pay stub. 121.75 hours in the past 2 weeks. yikes. anyways off to bed then off to work again tomorrow.

heat

been so hot lately. in the 30s and sunny. shame ive been working tons but still didnt stop me from getting a lobster burn one day. discovered this double chocolate stout. puts kilkenny and guiness to shame

im no longer working morning shifts at work. sad thing is no more french toast. good thing is i can sleep in and go in around 2. boom.

havent had a chance to skate lately. just been too tired and with the heat, screw that. still dont have a new board, ive got two boards ive had two sessions with and now both have giant cracks. it sucks. but kharan is coming over friday from ottawa to visit for a day so i think well go tear up my local temp park.

went over to zachs place did some bbq'n. eat that shrimp, eat that shrimp.

pretty much been too lazy to blog, so yeah consider yourself lucky i did this

i vaaaaant

stussy...ugh havent bought anything in so long

question

if you died tomorrow would you be happy how you lived your life?

a woman at work asked me this, and after sitting on it for a few days, i think i have lived exceptionally well the 21 years ive been on this planet.

my first day in bondi, sitting on the beach with haig checking out the local surf

bondi beach- october 2008

exit through the gift shop

banksy's movie "exit through the gift shop" started playing in toronto on friday. and over the weekend, it seems like he has put some of his stencils up around the city. apparently there are a few scattered around the back alleys of china town but many have already been painted over.

check the movie out! im thinking about heading to see it on my day off. in other movie news, i have heard from too many people that ironman 2 was terrible so i refuse to pay to see it.

good day

mom day

happy mothers day. sorry im not around for the second year in a row. ill be at dinner in spirit.

love your son

friends

the liqour stores here sell a huge variety of tall boy cans for cheap. ive been looking for a new good brew. kronenbourg has been a favorite for a long time so i still buy the occassional one. i got two different kinds of czech beers. one was a 7% and the other had a goat holding a pint, and that was enough reason for me to buy the beer. either way i didnt like the goat beer so much and the 7% wasnt bad but wasnt something i liked. ive got a lots of names to go through so ill let you know when i find some good ones

the swag wags

toyota trying to bounce back from all their car defects by making stupid videos? haha its funny and stupid. dont know if that changes peoples minds though.

escape the plastic beach

tuesday was my second and final day off before i go back to work for 5 days with long ass hours. zroy hooked me up with a board that he gets from the park he rides for. didnt have an exacto knife, so did the true hood shit and cut the grip using my debit card. believe it. anyways busted out the pathfinder after a slight hibernation and drove out to missisauga and met up with him. went to this park called iceland, it was chill. ended up breaking my kingpin. so he knew a shop close by where they hooked me up with a free kingpin, problem is this kingpin didnt fit my indy trucks so i got a pair of shitty ventures from the shopowner that some kid left behind a while back. so we went to a different park. skated there a while, learned backnose grind bigspin out. cracked the nose of my board. then later on playing a little game of line skate, cracked my board again doing kickflip front board. bullshit. good skate day and a bad skate day all in one. rom headed back to vancouver for the next 5 days so my plan is pretty much to work long ridiculous hours to pass the time. having a couple friends over tonight though to watch the game. lets go nucks!

baaaaaaaa logggggg naaaaaa

went to a sports bar last night to watch the canucks play the blackhawks in game two of the series. started strong, then by the end of the first we started playing like shit. and blackhawks tie it up and then you obviously know the rest. its bullshit. and we got these $14 nachos which would barely feed a baby, that was the icing on the bullshit cake. off the the value village and salvation store to hopefully find some gems. wish me luck.

two LOOOOOONG weeeeeeeks

been two weeks since ive last posted...time flies. i am honestly way too lazy right now to do anything too. so heres pictures from my phone. enjoy. ange came to toronto on a layover before catching his flight to denmark. brought some rum from the bahamas. drank that and headed to the jays game. the season opener the day before sold out to the max, this game had 11000 people in attendance.weak.
weather has been decent lately. so cruised craigslist and picked up a bike for $25. so budget. except for its falling apart and can barely ride.

went out for beers with zach.
after a couple pitchers, headed back for a tour of his place. got to see his little studio and hear some new tracks.

rom officially finished her last exam april 20. met up with her and the other journalist grads at the bar around 2. got drunk and had a ball. coincidently it was 4.20, and dundas square had quite a big gathering. couple minutes before 420, someone supposedly pulled a gun out in the middle of the huge group. watched from the bar patio as people booked it every direction. after the bar went for sushi and biked to high park to chill. got cold quite and headed home, worked the next morning.

been skating lots lately. met up with z-roy, headed to the temp skatepark. skated all day and had a couple drinks at the park. biked to the beer store picked up 40s and went back to z-roys. watched some skate flicks and played some intense chess. next day rolled back to the park, skated for a bit, then skated street with some randoms. found some sick spots and a couple good flicks. went and played nazi zombies for a while and went skating again. my legs took a beating and couple walk for a couple days after that.

r.i.p. melvin fancy pants.been working like crazy. 90+ hours in the past two weeks. cant complain though, needed the money. went out for nachos and burritos to a mexican restaurant close by. awesome nachos and stupidly spicy salsa.
weather has been nice, so been spending a few minutes hanging at christie pitts park when i get the chance. big baseball game there today. rogers was there filming, didnt get a chance to watch though.
just a sweet poster at castle grey skull worked a 12 hour day and was dead tired. passed out and woke up at 7 to go back to work for another 9 hours. got home. watched the canucks kick the shit out of the blackhawks. had a couple friends over and had a few drinks. me and julie stuck beer caps on our foreheads and bet whose could stay on longer. i won. she had to do pushups. aint no thang.got off work today, came home and showered. hoped on the bike and me and rom biked around town. roamed through the crazy rich parts of town and saw some dream houses...

ahhh back to reality. got the next two days off. gonna get another skateboard cause mines thrashed since ive been skating lots lately. tear up some parks out in the burbs hopefully as long as the weather cooperates. ill post again in a couple days. later

brag:

my friend from montreal, who is living in australia right now just hit me up with some serious news when he found out im in toronto. THE WORLD POUTINE EATING CHAMPIONSHIP! holy shit. i love eating. i love poutine. i love eating so much that i feel like im going to burst. by no means am i a pro but i think i could give the other competitors a run for their money. hopefully its sometime in the summer.

got work today but a post of the week to come shortly

meow

thats it thats all

after a pretty exciting final round of the masters at augusta national, phil mickelsen comes out on top and takes home another green jacket. very well deserving, especially after his eagle eagle birdie in round three. glad he nailed that final putt on 18 too, was a good finish.

start my first shift tomorrow at the restaurant. not looking forward to working and waking up anytime before 10am but the bank account is near e and by the end of the month id be sucking the fumes out of the bottem of the tank. on a high note, the 4th person from home is coming to visit for a couple days. andrew havabowlofjello on his way to denmark and has a layover in t.o. for two days. so he gets here tomorrow evening after being in the bahamas for a bit, so good news is he is bringing some duty free vodka!!! wooooooooop. me, ange, and the girls are heading to the bluejays game on wednesday. $11 per ticket...so budget. i honestly cannot remember for the life of me if i have ever been to a baseball game. but i cant say im even into baseball, its not something that strikes me as too interesting but apparently games are pretty fun. either way, since its a baseball game, i know for a fact that there will be beer and hot dogs and more than enough yelling, it'll be a gay ole time indeed.

number 3 is my fav

day 4

its the final round of the masters. its just coming on the tube right now. i called lee westwood before first day tee off to a friend to take the tourny down. he may not play the best throughout the year but he always seems to play really well at majors though. if you know me, you know how i feel about tiger. i know he is a good player...but hes a bum. this obviously has nothing to do with his some what recent scandal because in all honesty who cares what he did. hes not so perfect afterall...nobody is. and lay off of him for dumb shit. people are freaking because he swore after a bad shot...give him a break, cameras, microphones in his face all day and the whole world waiting for him to screw up and he did by saying fuck. haha whatever but i know he wont win, hes too shaky off the tee and sprays left and rigth every other hole. id like to see k.j choi make a solid run at the leaders and put up a fight. i guess we will see .

and not to forget, tom watson! holy hell, hes 60. get put up a seriously good number on round number 1, too bad he couldnt keep it up.
