I love him for his weaknesses

Quoted from Matt Good's blog today... this is the true tune of rockstar:


"This morning I woke up unable to breathe through my nose. Given the number of hands I shake on a nightly basis, and the fact that I have a terrible immune system, it’s not uncommon for me to contract something during after show signings. That being the case, I would very politely ask that if you’re planning on getting anything signed after any of the remaining shows that you refrain from extending your hand, or not be offended if I decline a handshake. It is, by no means, a sign of disrespect whatsoever, simply a precaution.
I thank everyone in advance for their understanding."

weary eyed

sometimes i sit in front of my computer, usually reading, surfing, googling, until my eyes hurt. there always ends up being a moment where i stop and recognize how much my eyes hurt - i look at the time, disgusted, and that is usually my cue to get off the computer.

the worst is that it usually comes immediately as Im thinking- now THIS would be something to write about in my blog.

well tonight you're getting me. i'm actually typing while staring at the ceiling as to not have to force my eyes to look at the computer screen.

wow, thank you mr. hatala and gr. 10 typing class. "hands on the homerow. eyes on the [ceiling] copy. for two minutes, GO!!!!!"
two minutes. two minutes.

tonight, for two hours, I exhausted what i could of the latest two days of blogging on matt goods website along with all his diaries of his albums. (happy to report i own them all) he has blogged for the past 11 years. come to think of it, i've been his fan for 15. no less - 2 hours? that's a long fucking time. two hours? I can't motivate myself to stop drinking or hit the gym but somehow i've unknowingly lost two hours to matt good and his internal rambling.

i'm still looking at the ceiling. there will be alot of mistakes.

ok. i checked. mistakes corrected. now i've lost 15 mintues to this blog.

and goodnight.

ps. matt good is playing riverfest tommorrow (actually mississauga waterfront festival, but i can't get past the name i grew up with, port credit river fest) sooooooo thrilled!!! super fan, right here.
must sleep now. zzzzz

feeling' hot hot hot!

I made it to hogtown and damn is it ever HOT!

34 degrees yesterday, i stepped out of the airport and into the tropics! immediatly got home and hit the poolside with mum. The threat of rain brought us inside but the heat lasted right into the night... still 25 at midnight.
Hit the brouge with my brother and Krista, and caught up with tyler simpson as well... love that guy.

Today was rigging on school of chef so i wasn't needed... I attempted to get my bike fixed up but it's got an armload of issues... this is what happends when it sits in a garage for 5 years. I'm thinking i'll look for a cheap new one on craigslist or maybe hit up crappy tire?

Lisa came over and we enjoyed another scorching afternoon poolside, gossip, sunshine, swimming. freaking sweet.
I'm thinking of hitting the gym tonight... time to seriously turn things up a notch. It is after all, SWIMSUIT SEASON!!! finally.

just a quick update. more to come!

Super pumped!
On my way for a massage with sarah. she is truely my medical practitioning hero....

I just learned that Barrak Obama has won the position to be in the running for american president. He beat Hilary...but frankly, for a woman presidential candidate, I think we can do better.
i'm excited to see what a black president could do for the state of the nation. and not so much because he himself is an african american, but just what that fact will mean for america, and the influence he may have on the minority representation.
seriously what a tough gig... the only true thing I know is, i would NEVER want to the be president of the USA.
...and ps I actually know nothing about the election...who's he against anyway? ha.


Here are my to latest FAV pictures:

DAVE/NUNO wedding. The Poots, looking classic!


And one dusty angel... maybe. Looks to me like he's about to get grabbed and bagged... haha

love you.

cold feet... hot mac!

In keeping with the theme of my blog... introducing my new macbook pro! take two. ;p

I definitely scored some ultra deal off craigslist... Little asian UBC student/samurai with connections at Apple sold me the latest 2.4Gh 200Gb HD 15" macbook pro with 4 gb ram... not to mention i also scored with it Adobe Creative suite 3, Final Cut 2, Office 2008, plus plus plus... all in at $2250. anyone looking to buy? Little Mark at UBC is your black market hookup. The computer was totally new, sealed in the box. amazing. I feel good. albeit, even more broke.

So it's tuesday, getting closer and closer to toronto land. I'm freezing my jiblets off today in the big old summer temperatures of TWELVE degrees. I'm also chocking on my reciepts with gas at 138.5. I hate to say it, but checking out toronto temperatures, despite the threat of thundershowers (ahhh, god bless the humidity of the east) the LOWs are above the vancouver highs, with expected temperatures hitting 28! haha, i laughed at first i thought it was in Fahrenheit! i haven't seen temps that high in van ....hmmm... ever? sweet swimming pool here i come.

Plans are abounding... I'm trying to find the time to get organized (why is it so hard for me to pack?), thinking about games night at jens for tommorrow/ tiffs to pick up some stuff... Thursday I get to spend with Dusty and Friday is his birthday... lucky me he's taking two days off work.. he is the hardest part about leaving.
Saturday breakfast at tiffany's had to be cancelled thanks to the yuks at Cactus Club...new venue = the best server they have is forced to work. arg. Taryn's bbq should round out saturday night, then sunday i'm in the air. Happy to not be working through all this, but i'll be counting my pennies all summer... save save save?

day three of intoxication free me. i have a headache and all i want is a cocktail. damn those addictions. dont tell my liver, but i plan on having a margarita friday. I know i'm only cheating myself and that's why it's ok... right.

Kegball went off on saturday with only a few hitches (that being a girl on girl baseball tournament in our diamond) but a few games of bocce, a few too many beers and baseball began! i played catcher the whole game, it made me feel included, considering my complete lack of skillz at baseball. My night ended poorly with me reliving my last few keg beers in the backyard bushes. ugh... at least i went out of boozing with the ultimate bang. ;p

I dont want to go yet. I'm worried about missing this place all summer.


ps. i love my new computer. and I know it loves me because with a few simple clicks it already knows how to please me!

M-B-P! DYNAMITE!
