Oh hi! I haven't updated the ol' blog in a long time, but recently

found myself with an iPhone that was bursting at the seams.

Steph and I headed home for the holidays to spend time with

family and friends.. Needless to say, we had some serious fun!

Steph's sister Brig was nice enough to let us take over her room

and set up a home base. The best hostess!

Got my jog on.

Some drum dudes.

My brother from another. On the subject of Mr. Mcknight, he was gracious enough to invite us to a delicious christmas dinner at his parents house just outside of Carman. It was alot of fun and I got to drool over his dad's 1969 Chevelle SS 396 4speed convertible from Barrett-Jackson. whoa.

James Loves Martin & Jed

December is Kyla.

Porn and a delicious Potluck with La Familia at Papa Pell and the lovely Miss Duda's new schmancy condo. Atta boy!

Spinach dip on christmas eve with mama and SB.

Happy NYE from me and my new $29 Club Monaco shirt!

Best buds for life. (missing a few though) P.S. Wish I could have hung with Matthew Lazer more often.. :( :(

L-Dubs! (who may or may not have enjoyed mussels recently)

We've only got 4 minutes to save the world. Too busy M.ing O./popping bottles to get the 12.00 picture. :S

Fast forward to Jenga night at Adam W's (half a hoser)!

Lots of ROFL's, gaming, Jenga and Chicken Delight. It was my last night with the guys and it was a great one! P.S. Elan is on another level with her technique, and Adam W. can make a doozy of a cocktail.

An Olds Cutlass 4-4-2 on a rooftop?! Only in WPG. :)

Alright back to Montreal where the grocery shopping goes off.

We got new sheets and a duvet for christmas!

Michelle invited us to the Bang-On christmas/birthday party!

This handsome buddy was there, and ready to be adopted. Sooo many pitbulls in this city, and they seem so friendly. Just don't make one mad.. :/

Wore my fedora out for the first time.. Was kinda nervous until I had about a million sourpuss shots then felt pretty handsome.

Ended up at a Japanese karaoke place on Crescent with private rooms. It's like a labyrinth inside and I got lost coming back from the washroom. Had to call Steph for directions, and even then walked into more than one AZN birthday party room. whoops.

Kurt-bro!

New band called Forehead feat. Christina Ricci, NPH, that dude from Star Trek, Rainn Wilson and Ellen Page.

Michael Cera got Jersey Shore'd. The most blow out.

Pug Life.

Snapped this pic of Satan getting punched out at a museum on Sherbrooke. Hi DPG!

Steph has a new gamer profile and it looks pretty accurate I'd say.

Other than that, it's good to be back in MTL.. I'm going to be working downtown with Michelle and friends at Bang-On so that's a plus. Also it's my birthday saturday and Steph is taking me shopping, then we are having people over, then heading out on the town for a fun night. Jed is coming for a visit in a week or two, and I really hope to see other GTB's soon too!

Hope all you peeps are livin' it up and staying happy and healthy..

One love!

Heyo! Getting pretty excited for Halloween.. pretty much one of the best times of year, I'd say. Skull courtesy of Jamie Vandal.

Montreal in the fall is really, really nice. I've been going on lots of walks/exploring etc. Also remembered how great Half-Cabs are for extended periods of outdoors time.. :S

Lac des Castors is a cool duckpond halfway up Mont-Royal that was designed by the same guy that designed Central Park in NYC. Also, best hot chocolate so far in MTL..

The St. Laurent!

Steph picked up a new bag!

Went to La Ronde for Cecily's birthday bash. So fun! I really thought I was an experienced rollercoaster rider, but as it turns out, my stomach told me otherwise. Sat out on a few, and opted to keep my poutine with me. It was Steph's first time, and she went on everyone! What a trooper. Try and spot her..

Oldest rollercoaster in North America! My fave.

Thanksgiving dinner went off without a hitch. 15lb bird successfully roasted and carved! :)

Have you seen this video that plays before movies in theaters? Oh man. Shiloh=worst. ever.

Meeeeoooow!

So when does it take your picture? Should I smile now?

Construction is almost finished on the Smith family estate..

'Sufer' wigs available at VV.

Me in 40 years.

There's this sharp ledge in our apartment hallway. Two stubbed, bleeding toes on the first night living here. Great minds think alike. <3

Hope you gals and ghouls are happy and warm.

Oh hey. So I've had a pretty busy week. Last saturday I got on a bus and headed to Toronto for a visit with ol' Matt. Dave was also in town since he was picking up his new whip.. 2006 Audi A3! Glad he made the right decision and joined the veedub/audi family :)
Cha Right! Not an R8, an A3.. but a man can dream.

Matt's got a pretty nice apartment with a rooftop BBQ area, ensuite laundry and funny stories.
Bros gotta eat.
Rather than digest these like Matt and I, Dave opted to rent them.
Went out for a fun night and met up with several winnipeg friends that now live in Ontario! At least I think it was fun? Thanks Pabst. The next day we scored some $10 tickets to the Jays/Mariners game at the SkyDome. Ken Griffey still plays and the Jays won. Way cool.

Don't forget to holla' at Brenda Silver for all your bling needs.

The best deal.

Went on a few sales calls with Dave to different small towns near Toronto. Not entirely sure what this town is about. Went to MTV live and felt like a 14 yr old girl. Kinda cool to check out live, and got to see Saosin. ya? no? Ok back to Montreal now.. Had the opportunity to see Winnipeg get killed by the Alouettes and 20 000 drunk frenchmen. Go WPG!

James at Fou Founes Electriques? Nah it's Sublime but pretty close, I'd say.
I've been helping my lovely lady with her homework.
Guess which one I drew..

Louie V pearl bike chain necklace! omg

My saturday night when Steph is out of town.

Saw the old-timer Nordiques play against university girls.. Also saw a girl get laid out on the ice by said Old-timers. All business!

Steve is alive and well. So am I. Hope you are taking care, and staying handsome/pretty.

Some things from Montreal..

Went to the Montreal Tattoo Convention and saw this dude getting a picture of his customized Peterbilt truck. Ever sick.

Reggie's bar on thursdays. $1 beers and shots, skate art on the walls and a whole bunch of Concordia db's. Can't win 'em all.
New Vans book! Pretty dec.

Every sunday there are nerd battles in the park complete with real chain mail, foam swords and grown men slaying 8 year old kids.

The most beautiful/scary church I've ever been to.

My girlfriend's #1 celeb crush.

I never used to take alot of pictures or really even bring my camera with me anywhere, but since my iphone's camera is always ready and takes medium-okay pictures I started realizing the opportunity to share some things I see.. I've been doing alot of skating, biking and people watching these days. Pretty much my 3 fave pasttimes, NBD.

So our new apartment is actually really nice. The building is currently being renovated and we were the first tenants in the entire building. Quiet location, new everything and a rooftop that is perfect for evening beers.

oh hey

2009-09-23T07:48:00.000-07:00

So I decided to take the big leap and head out to Montreal for a year with Steph as she finishes up her last year at College LaSalle. Enjoying everything as much as possible.. It's nice to get away from pegcity sometimes, you know? :) Before we left we had a little going away party with the crew. Missing you friendlies, everyday..

Needless to say, I wasn't really affected by the sad goodbye cards, and all the great people who showed up to say 'see ya later'. I'm good at keeping my cool.
