Had a dream about Rob Ford last night
- by admin
and my parents and brothers were there and for some reason we were touring his house which of course was in Toronto, even in my dream.He had this wife who kinda looked like Sandy Hogan which was weird because 1. I've never seen The Hogan Family and 2. I've never seen Rob Ford's wife
(I'm assuming he's married but I dunno, who marries someone like him?)
Anyway we were walking around "his house" getting a tour for some reason
-maybe we won a contest or something-
and it was this super dumpy stucco monstrosity with trash and clothes and cardboard boxes everywhere.
I went into the garage and there was all this hockey stuff
(net, sticks, goalie pads, etc)
and I was all
"Rob Ford you can't even run, wtf do you have this for?"
and he was all
"I used to be an NHL star but I ate too many hams so I had to quit the team
now I'm the mayor of TO instead"
and we left Rob Ford's house and walked through his 'hood
there were people yelling and fights on the street and it was kinda scary
and I remember my dream-self thinking
"poor Rob Ford
If I had to go through life being you, I'd probably smoke crack too"
What's funny is that when I woke up I still felt the same way.

Technicolor fabrics

Yo no hablo español, pero me gusta esta banda inconformista mexicana mucho y he estado escuchando a ellos sin parar últimamente.
Just kidding I don't speak Spanish. Blame Google translate for the shitty translation.
Anyway this is Technicolor Fabrics whom I love. They also sing some songs in English.
I listened to them while painting the kitchen over the past two days which not only reminded me that I can actually do stuff around the house but also demonstrated how disgusting my kitchen walls were. I've lived in my apartment for three years and they probably hadn't been painted in over a decade.
It was one of those situations where we started painting, saw the difference, and made faces like this:
Apartment problems for reals.
Besides boring apartment life tomorrow is the Winnipeg Wine Festival which btw is one of the highlights of my social calendar. Because we live stumbling distance from the Convention Center everyone comes over and has snacks and then we walk there, drink too much wine, stumble back and eat more food (natch).
Here are some photos from Wine Fests past (from 2009-2012):
Upon closer inspection it's also the one time a year I curl my hair, apparently.
But enough of my BS, it's almost the weekend!
Jam out kids, and don't do anything I wouldn't do!

Frank Turner stole my heart and I think that's okay

I've been needing new music in my life lately.
Scratch that.
I've been needing new music in my life lately new everything in my life lately.
Maybe it's the never-ending winter or my looming exams or my mounting student loan bill but it's been a bit tough to look on the bright side lately. I'm a cynic by nature and I've been working on it but things feel stale, stagnant... I'm waiting for the change I know is coming and it can't get here fast enough.
Good to remember this today:
Just had a cup of Earl Grey but shouldn't have. I need to go to bed soon, I've got my two exams tomorrow basically back-to-back and my hand is going to be a shrivelled claw by the end of my 6+ hour writing marathon. Essay-style exams are the best because I'm good at them, but the worst because they're so physically draining. Word up to my rhetoric peeps!
Beers afterward with Colin and Adrian at the Toad in the Hole afterward though. It's going to be well-deserved and it's going to be good. Tweet @ me if you'd like to come by and say hello!
Hip Hop Sunday #68 Wyclef Jean - We Trying to Stay Alive

confession
I started doing Hip Hop Sundays
so that I could have easy
cop-out posts
on Sundays after I'd been out & up to no good
so I didn't have to use my brain waters
putting together a big-ass post.
today is one of those days
I'm glad I started it.
whew.
here's just a little taste of what I was up to last night
to give you some perspective:
yes those are people
dancing in their pyjamas
in a giant blanket fort.
hope your evening was equally as successful
and you're enjoying
your Hip Hop Sunday.

pretended to be binary stars this morning
- by admin
over coffee this morning we checked out Google Chrome's 3D stellar neighbourhood which is the coolest thing ever.
as a part of our busy day it's always fun to bond over stuff on the internet and make silly remarks and learn a bit together before we part ways
usually it's some dumb image on reddit or a news article we're all fired up about.
today we were talking about binary stars and he took my hands in the living room and we spun around
smiling at each other
and after I went back to brushing my teeth and he combed his hair
we packed lunches and took out the garbage and said
goodbye.
but being a binary star this morning has had me smiling all day
and I need to say it, even though I try not to on the blog
I love you, Tyrone
thanks for being my primary star.

- by admin
back in 2012 Tyrone and I went out for drinks with @cenquist and wound up being introduced to @abstractartform
one of the sweetest, coolest, most unique people I've had the pleasure of hanging out with
plus he's talented as shit.
he tweeted the link to this vid to a few of us earlier this week
and the track made my day.
hope it makes yours.
enjoy your hiphop sunday. xox
