ear popping ass


alright alright, sooo ive been a little pre-occupied with this whole doritos commercial thingy, and i forgot to put up the link, but there are more production pics that will come up and a link tomorrow just in case you still wanna check it out. now what this story is about though is last sundays drive home. so most of the ride was wicked, talking listening to music, all that great stuff. than justin, yeah that guy im gonna get back eventually, so while hes driving he started to put the window down while were going 120 miles per hour. i dont know if you know, but this creates your ears to have to be popped. so he did this, and i popped my ears to get rid of that annoying feeling, and he continuously was rolling down the windows doing this. i dont know what satisfaction he got from it. so eventually i rolled down both windows in the back seat which reates this wompwompwompwomp sound, like a hellicopter but not so high pitched, lower. and i held the buttons to make sure he couldnt do them up, you know give him some of his own medacine. that is until he locked both the back windows so i had no control and he put them back up. pussyed out if you ask me,

good day good day


so today was quite the good day, mikejoe managed to finish the editing for the doritos commercial this morning. It looks pretty sick, but i guess i have a bias towards it, seeing as i was part of making it. but still, pretty sick. I dont have any new production photos, but maybe i'll ask joe when he gets back from the blue tile hockey game. I went to upload the commercial, but the doritos website was recieving too many commercials, so i had to wait till after work. It was such a nice day me and charley decided to do a little skateboarding before work, best idea ever. we got a good hour of skating in before making our way to the work station. i fucked my board up though trying to do a wallride, i failed to see the edging on the wall and it took a giant bite out of my deck, i'll return the favour somehow. or not. annd yeah, now im just waiting on joe to get back so we can upload the video onto the site, i'll post the link as soon as i get it up and on the doritos website, laaaaaaaaaaterrrrrrrrrrrrr

lotsa planning and a ton of patience


so i got a jetta about 3 years ago, -beaver paneled it 2 years ago-and when i got it, it was at 104,000 kms, at the time amazing is what i thought, not even alot of kms, and such a sick car, still square before the lame bubbly jettas, anywho, so as i racked up the kilometers and got to around 110,000kms i noticed what was going to happen. i had realized the epicness of this car that i was going to witness. i was going to get to see the kilometers reach 123,456-only a matter of time. but than looking even more into it i realized due to the resetable kms, i was going to be able to have the car reach 123,456 and than on the resetable kms 7890. my mind was blown just thinking about it. so i went home that night and figured out exactly what my main kms had to be at for when to reset the resetable kms, and i was only going to get one chance at this because if i mess it up, theres no going back, as we all learned in ferris beulers day off, even reversing does not move back the kilometers. so i had it all set, all ready, knew exactly when i had to reset it, now i just had to wait and remember, probly the two hardest things for me to do. but i managed, reset the resetable at the right time. now i had one more wait, for it to all fall into place. i remember i was driving to my brothers house just before going out to skate, and as i was coming up to his house, i was just over 3kms to my cars destiny. so instead of parking, going in and possibly forgeting about it and ruining it all, i decided to drive around the subdivision. as soon as it got close when i was within 1km i was driving so slow, hit the perfect kilometers, stopped the car, i was even fully on the side of the road, but i didnt care, stopped the car, threw it in park, and i actually just sat there for at the very least 5 minutes, just in such aw that i had finally reached this goal of mine that i had waited so long for. so much antisipation and the day had finally come, i took about 20 shots, i wish i had a polaroid thinking about it now, but this was a time when i was in a broke... ahhh who am i kidding, im always in a broke state unless i just got paid. but anyway, i didnt even wanna drive away, i knew i had to, but i let that moment last for as long as i could, i drove away with a giant smile on my face, it was my most favorite art project ever at that point, and is still one of my favorite photos i have.

doritos commercial weekend


so this weekend went basically how i figured it would, we got basically everything done, filming and what not, and me and mikejoe were editing right up until the very last minute. but still had 5-6 seconds left of the commercial to edit, not to mention adding in the music, sound effects and special effects, but joe is good for that stuff, so it will be submitted at the latest tomorrow which means doritos will upload it at the latest on tuesday giving us one day to get the votes in there. so i will be doing some mad emailing as soon as it is up making sure everyone i know, or i guess have an emial to, will be able to check it out and vote. it was alot of fun though, my sister adrienne ended up doing a wicked job of makin me look like a warewolf.

she was also the lighting person, assited by the fan in the living room, whilest mikejoe was the camera man.


i dont have any pictures of it, but leblanc and beeeeeens were also in the commercial doing their part. it worked out quite well. lots of good out takes and just a good ol time. it was a short visit, but im going back to toronto next weekend for an actual visit. so when joe gets his photos up, i'll put up some more production shots, and as soon as the link is good to go, it'll be up here. annnd to make up for the missed yesterday blog, i am going to finally tell a past story.

not coinsidence, fate


sooo while im at work, thinking about my doritos comercial and how im gonna go about filming it, i dont even have editing equiptment. so i called my buddy justin, the guy who i owe some sort of a get back for waking me up, anyway, i call him up because im pretty sure he has editing equiptment. this is where fate kicked in, i knew with the idea i had it wasnt meant to be filmed on a digital picture cam, oh no. so when i call justin to see what hes doing, see if hed have time to edit it this weekend, shikidybam, hes going to toronto this weekend. now for those of you that know what this means, im glad you know and gimmie back my thoughts. those of you who dont know, this means i will have access to a wicked video camera, some kick ass editing equiptment and basically the means to make the comercial exactly how i can see it in my head due to the capabilitys of my good friend mikejoe. not to get my hopes up on justin going though, no no. but yeah, i cant wait to make this thing now, too sick.

mr.mcgarrys 25 cents


so i was walking through the kitchen and there i see mr.mcgarry getting change, well at first i thought he was getting chips from the vending machine, this threw me off, -mr.mcgarry- i said-you do realize you can get a better bag of any flovor chips you wanted from the macs milk which is 20 steps away. i got the mcgarry -give me a break- look, which he has down pat. i was then informed that he was getting change for the coffee machine, which the coffee only costs 25 cents. but due to the fact he didnt have to spend that 25 cents to get coffee, i couldnt help but reinform him of that little tid bit. -free coffee- he says, -free coffee, let me tell you about that, nothing is ever truley free- he was completly right, in one way or another we are paying for that coffee he told me, which was when i brought up taxes. he agreed imediatly and smiled that i was grasping what he was saying. those bastards, no offense to bastards, its just a good word to use when calling people.. well... bastards, anywho, those bastards, i said, they take our money and they fix roads, and buses, and all sorts of things i never use and i have to pay for it, your right mr.mcgarry i know i cant stop them from taking my money, but what i can do is get my moneys worth, so im gonna buy me a sludgehammer and start making my mark in the streets, than when they fix those holes with my tax money, i can sit there and say, well i did make that hole, so it makes sense. this is when mr.mcgarry turned up his lip, frowned his eyebrows and walked away. i think he was dissapointed.... dissapointed that i said it while he was thinking it. so in light of mr.mcgarrys words i say we all go out this weekend, buy a sludgehammer and get the satisfaction that our money isnt being burned away on things were not getting any enjoiment from.
go make your mark, or not, i probly wont, but i might, or maybe i'll just make one big fishing pothole and enjoi the rest of my weekend,

eastern standard timezone



so today at work i decided to let my two bosses and co-workers know just exactly the fine peice of work material they have supervising their interviewers. i'll have you know though that i have had trouble with timezone, north west east and south, and wheather to say im travelling up or down to somewhere, a problem my entire life, it just never seems to settle in my head for some reason. when comercials would say you know, your favorite show will be on at this time central, and at this time eastern standard, i always had to ask my mom which we were. well today was a day it woulda been good for that knowlege to had sunk in by now. i was asked a question about timezone stuff, and i answered confidently, the answer suggesting that we are in the central timezone, which i thought to be true. my boss shawn standing behind me-you do realize we are eastern standard time dont you-.... i did not, and considering that this is part of my job, man i felt like an idiot saying i had no idea. here i am constantly using timezones and i didnt even know which one we are in, but you gotta learn something everyday so thats what i learned. so now if i ever have cable again, i'll know what time something i wanna watch will be on, and i wont have to call my mom to find out.

apparently a good blog needs pictures

so i decided to throw my blog out into the wide world of facebook, see what happens. and if i actually want people to read this stuff, i guess i'll have to put pictures up and links to videos and what not, so this is the new day of my blog, from now on pictures or links or something for the eye, yeah. now this story, wait i'll tell ya about my productive day first, accompishment one-9 hours of work, 2-still had enough money to eat and 3-im on song number 72 out of 3749 on my ipod, im gonna listen to them all eventually so it will take a while before i get to choose a song or upload more onto it. i just wanna make sure i like all the songs on there before i decide to add more. now the story i wanna tell might or might not be true, this one i have no proof, just a gut feeling on it. now im not sure, but i have reason to believe that in the future i am a time traveling musician. that is correct, i have alot of songs i wanted to sing in the future, but just didnt speak to the ears of those holagram eating pansys, they couldnt handel what i had to say in song. so i traveled back to a time when anyone could be a musician. right now.

my tank of a cell phone

so yeah this i forgot to write down earlier in the week, so my cell phone, which is now just a phonebook due to me not paying my bills ontime, i was sleeping on the couch and had my cell phone plugged into the wall. the phone was sitting on the table in the middle of the room, just before going to bed i accidentally kick the cord, knocking the cell phone off the table onto the floor from a height of at the most a foot. i pick it up and go to set the alarm and the screen is black, i thought broken, but under closer look, it was just the lcd screen, no light was on. now if this was the first time it had fallen i would have figured yeah thats about right, you drop your cell phone it will break. but the thing was is that this was not the first time, in fact the shitstorm that thing has been through, it pissed me off that this was the fall that killed it. i had worked as a picker packer, and when leaning forward one time, it fell out of my pocket onto the ground which was about 3 floors down, did it break, i thought so, from uptop i saw something fly away. it was the battery and i just put it back in and it worked perfectly fine, fabergasted it still worked, mind you it sounded like a tick tack holder anytime i shook it, but those loose things inside didnt effect anything. and besides that one big fall there have been countless times its been dropped, thrown, and kicked-trying to pick it up while running towards it after it falling out of my pocket- all of which these falls have been well over a foot, why the hell is this the fall that kills it, i got video games on there i like to play,

dj snugglebots invoadture trip(invasion, road trip, and adventure all in one word)

sorry i have been lazy with the blogs, but i will rectify with 2 yes two stories tonight, maybe 3, who knows, that is the majic number. so the first story im gonna tell you is about friday/saturday dj snugglebots road trip thingy. so the two djs, dario and jeremy, put this little shin dig together where about 75 people took a bus from ottawa to north bay, three and a half hour drive, crammed into id say 15-20 hotel rooms, than made it over to the show, partied our asses off, than went back and raised hell at the hotel, pretty sick set up if i do say so myself. so yeah, i ended up going with my buddy from works girlfriend, charley couldnt come do to illness, major bummer, but yeah so me and alice, all sorts of funny comments and rumours to bother darren flew around all day, darren being alices boyfriend, anywho, bus ride was sick, the bus driver was cool with everyone drinking as long as the beer or whathaveyou didnt return from your stomach back into the bus. 3 and a half hour bus ride with only 6 tall cans, i had to pace myself, especially since the place we were going to has 2 dolla rye and coke/ginger. so we get on the bus and there were 2 familiar faces, adam and maggie, both pretty darn cool people, its always a treat to see adam, hes probly the nicest dude ever, and always makes a good time better. so yeah, the bus ride was pretty sick, drinkin, watching ferris bulers day off cranked so loud, and fun people. so when we got to the hotel me and alice luck out with getting a hotel all to ourselves, too sick, and right next to us were adam, bruce, dec-was his nickname, i never caught his full name- and aaron, he was friggin sick too, it was a wicked bunch to drink with. so we had about 2 hours before leaving for the show, so we played beer pong, than went swimming, i think it was the most dangerous swim ive ever taken part of. it started off harmless enough, diving when your not supposed to, belly flops that should knock you out, and flips back and front into the pool. than it quickly escalated, fisrt, sitting on a chair and leaning back to fall into the pool with the chair, than jumping off the chair, which the chair shot from under his feet and he almost didn't make it into the pool. than off the metal railings for getting out of the pool, agian slipping and almost missing getting into the pool. than when the table started to be climbed on security came in so we booked it out. leaving with an applause given by all the kids who spectaded this event. so we get back and george clooney is there, now not the real george clooney, but a look alike, but had a wife and kids, but he wanted to hang out with us. he was like 50 at least, and just wouldnt stop trying to chill with us, he was a creepy man for sure, funkin george cloony look alike. so yeah than we headed to the show, dec almost died when we were leaving, he went to slide down the hotel railing leading from the second floor to the first and from about half way lost ballance and flipped over the railing, but luckly landed on his feet. it was quite the thing to happen, and than not happen all at once. the show was great, dario and jeremy had some wicked tracks played, it was a great set, good choice of music, and some damn good mixin. i just chilled and watched, i wasnt feelin too good after puking at the hotel. so yeah went back to the hotel and passed right out, other rooms raised hell, but not me, too tired to. wake up call in the morning at 10 after 10, you have 15 minutes until check out, than when the phone hangs up all i hear is giggling like school girls from the room attached to mine, friggin bastards. so i went and joined them and listened to some more pranks, got two people to think they actually had to get out, it was too good, rushing people to pack when there was no need. oh yeah, i forgot to mention, dec also the night before was wallriding from bed to bed, broke one of the beds, which became a fiasco in the morning to cover up, and threw a chair into the wall, which was another elaberate attempt on covering up which aaron did amazingly, couldnt even really tell, i hope it works. so yeah, took the bus back saturday and at a ton of burger king when i got back, i was craving it all weekend, whoppers are so good.

9-5

i always forget how tired you get working 9-5 jobs until my schedule is like that again, but its more 730-430. not enough sleep makes for tired days, and since its 2 days to pay day ive been broke for 11 days my lunches are getting worse and worse, well tuna is good dont get me wrong, throw some chipotle spices in there, maybe some tomatoes, wrap it up, shazam, good eating, but today i forgot to make my lunch last night so it was a grab and go, yogert and granola for the better part of the day, at least the dinner i was waiting for all day was completly worth it. just sat around tonight, made fish, perogies and corn while watching juno, i had started it another day, but never finished it, its pretty good, pretty pretty pretty good. i think i'll have tuna tomorrow, or maybe egg salad, yeah, i have a few eggs left, ooohh, well i guess you wont find out till tomorrow what i have, very exciting, i swear there will be good stuff on the way. and as for justin, nothin so far, i know what im gonna do, but i left a creepy message on his phone basically telling him im gonna get him back, so right now he expects it, so maybe i'll make him tired for friday, i think that'll be best. i gotta get going though, i gotta enter my doritos name for that name the doritos contest, its a pretty good name, if i win ill tell you what it was, or if i lose too i guess, if i even remember. one more day of broke day work.

First Blog, doesnt the word blog make you think of poo?

well hello reader, this is the first blog i am going to do, and it might be the last, you never know, i am a lazy man. but yeah, just so you know what youre getting into here, it'll basically be a blog everyday about whatever it is i feel about blogging, i'll definatly tell you what i did that day, thats what ive decided for certain. im not gonna bother to use capitols, apostraphys or spell check, because that involves extra effort, which if i have to use extra effort, i will be less inclined to write something. i think im gonna throw in stories from the past, some mine, some others, some from the future, but nothing made up. call me on anything, and i'll try to find a way to prove it to you, somehow. but yeah thats what youre in for so i hope you enjoi.

sooooo lets start with march 1st, today. but lets go back to the morning of today. so i was relaxing, eating shawarma that my girlfriend so generously bought me as i am -5.73 in my bank account until pay day, yes i live pay check to pay check. anywho, relaxin, eating shawarma, getting ready to kill the end of a hangover day when the phone rings, 1230am, not a chance im answering it, i'll let the answering machine get it, and there on the phone was my buddy justin......10, 9, 8, 7 ,6 and so on happy new year, and continues to scream the notes of the starspangle banner, a recent party favor, or fun thing i like to do whenever ive been drinking. the message was super loud, and i unplugged the machine before he got to the end, because it was annoying me and rachel after unplugging the machine, we went on to watch the movie and that was basically it, or so i thought. apparently he called again later in the night around 4am, waking rachel up. so when i heard about that, i decided he is going to get it back, not the same way of course, 1- he has a cell phone, so it's impossible to get him back the same way, and 2-number one is the only reason i needed. so i am going to get him back tonight. he works a 9-5 job, which i do to, but to get someone back its worth losing some sleep over, so i will be blogging the returned favor when i return from giving it.
