Alcahol: My anti drug


For a really long time, this guy was the
coolest man in America and much of Canada.
Its true!

My roommate, who we will call Cap'n Crunk, is a sound guy (read: sound technician) for many musical acts, Including George Canyon. On George Canyon's rider is, among other things, mixed nuts. Now, my mom is a sometimes promoter and has to get all the stuff on musician's riders. Basically she has to make the musicians happy without going over budget. But these mixed nuts George Canyon asks for are almost always end up being the super cheap kind. Due to some FDA rule, the can has to say how much of the mixed nuts are peanuts. The more peanuts there are, the cheaper they, and the promoter, are. George has been heard to say to a can of 80% peanuts "I sure hope we get paid."

Campaign of hate


Tatoos are becoming more socially
acceptable lately, but so is Speed dating.

A friend of mine, who we will call Kapow, recently got a new roommate. Despite her trailer-trash name (her mom was like 17 when she had her) she seemed down to earth and nice. Also, according to Kapow, she is hot. However, some things recently came to light about her. The other night, a few of her friends came over for a visit and got to talking to my friend and his other roommate. It turns out that they are Neo Nazis who have actually done 'American History X' type shit. Upon learning that Kapow is from Cape Breton, which is not known for being racially diverse, they decided to let him into their confidence. Kapow spends a lot more time at our house lately. We are all thinking of ways to cause severe smoke damage to her room without setting their house on fire.

Occasionally, the title, photo and post will all be about the same thing.

The tag says "Made In Taiwan", which I find Fascinating.

Today I bought a hat from a man that sits in front of a church in Robie st. and sells crap. The last thing I bought off of this guy was a vintage Empire Strikes Back Coloring book. My roommate says he probably picks up this stuff in the garbage but I disagree: on this day he had several of some items, including the aforementioned hat. Anyway, my roommate and I pondered this hat for awhile before I bought it. Usually if an item of clothing is trying to be funny intentionally, like a witty t-shirt, it really isn't to me. Only unfunny people look funny in these things. However, I remebered that I will be celebrating my birthday on Earth day this year, and figured it would be a perfect drinking hat. I talked him down from 5 dollars to almost 2 dollars, by saying "All I've got is almost 2 dollars".

It's all about Gleaming the Cube, my friends

Czech out Jordan's tongue!
Does anyone remember this show? Bo Jackson had super strength, Wayne Gretzky was always snacking on snacks, and any time Jordan did anything his toungue hung out. I LOVED this show. Here is the theme song. http://www.dicentertainment.com/swf/prostars.swf

What would Corky from 'Life Goes On' do?

Yes Captain Planet, The Power is, and always has been, ours.

What with the combined efforts of the fates, the furies, the stonemasons, the sinister six, C.O.B.R.A, God, my roommates, Lex Luthor of Earth 2 and the National Student Loans people, my Juno Weekend plans faded before my eyes. With all this free time I decided to psychoanalyze my roommates girlfriends, clean my room, realize how much useless stuff I have, rekindle my love of useless stuff, start a blog, master the art of blogging, and read something for more than 15 minutes. I also realized I didn't get April Fooled at all! Life sure is grand!

This is my blog. There are many like it, but this one is mine.

" Remember to set your clocks ahead kids! The extra
hour of daylight will help curb seasonal depression!"


I guess, traditionally, I am supposed to talk about why I started this blog, so that one day, When I am an old man of 45, who still writes in run-on sentences, may look at this time capsule and remember why I wasted about an hour a week telling maybe 3 people stuff I did or thought about. But I'm not going to. Instead I will begin it the way it will end: completely without point.
