The Border Patrol

So TheDevilHimself and I have decided to turns our hours of fun skype rantings into something we can share with everyone.
It is called "The Border Disaster" and it is basically us making fun of each other. We throw in a couple songs to break up the tension, but all in all I find it really... really. Funny.
It is something I would ALMOST be proud to show to my parents.

Although listening to myself I have realised something I truly did not grasp the gravity of. I say fuck. A LOT.

Enjoy Guys.

I am looking towards the new one.

The 7th is released

Yes I am talking Harry Potter and the deathly hollows. By the way, the links in this post will be to vids and photos care of MOI alone. You'll see.

So last Friday, to honor the release of the last Harry Potter book, they turned a Stephen Avenue in downtown Calgary into Diagon Alley. It was a liiiitttle disapointing. Not too much to do, and everything was expensive. Lame.

But there was a fortune teller. Who by the way told me that... yes I am on the path I want... but something really bad will happen, my health will be effected and I'll loose everything. Nice. At the end she was like "think of a yes or no question". So without thinking I chose the girl standby "will I ever find true love". I have to say at this point.. if I hadn't been put on the spot I would have never chosen such a lame question for a couple reasons...

1. IF you ARE going to believe in this stuff... do not ask the questions that involve things that you feel will directly affect how you live you life... like "will I get married" or "will I ever have kids"... so some such. Chances are you'll only get disappointed.

2. I just feel like I should have asked something along the lines of... "will I find this evening lame" ... its non-committal and I can laugh later..

But I was a dumb ass and picked the girlie question. OF COURSE SHE SAID NO!

I choose to ignore her.

There was also some sweet acrobats! They flew on polls!

Also there was this little kid who balanced on this ball thing. It was amazing. Check the vidz I took.

All in all a good night.

I'm still working on the book so I am avoiding Grupthink which is full of spoilers.

BUT AWESOME GRUPTHINK NEWS!

We were trying to decide what little pic we should have next to a topic/coment/answer to represent "boring". MY SUGGESTION!? ZZzzzz....

And they used my suggestion! I know I'm a huge dork... but I am super proud they picked it. "A no-brainer" an insider told me... hehe. YAY!

Well one sad piece of info for you guys... my kittie has run away. I'm actually worried because since we moved into the city she hasn't been gone this long, and it's been a couple days. I fear she may have been hit by a car or something. She isn't used to the city. I haven't been able to sleep as well without her...

Please come back to mumma baby... she misses you!

Summer sweat

So a few things have happened these last couple of weeks. Some really good. Some really bad. I feel like I am sitting at a bit of a middle ground right now.

My computer BLEW UP.

It's fine. Jamie the computer Don Wan built and set me up a kick ass machine, and he even installed World of Warcrack. Scary. I love my new baby. The only problem is I owe my dear mother 850 bucks for it. Ouch.

I can't wait to second skype it up with my pals soon... but shit has been getting in the way. Another story, for another day.

I'm looking for job #2 this week, but with the stampede in town I hear no one is even bothering looking at resumes. He's to hoping next week will be better then.

I've also taken up smoking dope occasionally with Dave. I like it when it is just us. We are pretty chilled out, and don't sketch each other out. Note to self: do not play "free bird" on guitar hero 2 while stoned. You won't make it man.

In Preparation

Well the time has come again to work on the next podcast. I have collected my real life sex story (which is awesome). I have my next orgasm clip for the faux-gasm game. AND I have finally come up with the topic of discussion. Well I have been throwing around 3 ideas really, but I figured this topic I could get a good range of opinions. I've decided to go with "online sex". But I want to include phone sex, video sex and all sorts of "long-distance" forms of sex. If you have any suggestions, let me know. But I think this covers the basics.

I was talking to The Devil Himself about it. He wanted me to interview him to get the ball rolling so to speak. I remember his words exactly "You know for someone who wants to talk about online sex, you sure know shit all about it". Which I guess is true. In a way. I said that I do in fact have experience in some forms of "long-distance" sex... but not in all forms. He also said I was a chicken shit for not sharing my own experiences. I always wanted to keep my own experiences separate from the podcast, if only to keep myself safe. Sure I use my pseudonym, but everyone that knows that name, knows my real name. Whatever, maybe it is a cop-out.

Anyways, if you feel like you want to participate, send me a message or leave me a comment. I think I am just going to interview people separately, and then mix them together.

But here are some of my thawts of online sex -

Some say (and I am inclined to agree) that the development of the internet, has been the biggest change for our world since standardized time zones. It has expanded our chances to experience the world in a million new ways. We can access new places, and meet new people all at the click of a button. With that, we have the development of new cultures all spawning from this new way of communication. And within ANY culture, a sub-culture (perhaps not the right word for it) of sex develops.

And why not? You can become very attached to the people you can meet online. For some, the internet IS some people's social lives. So why would it be wrong to try and express a natural desire for sexual fulfillment within your social sphere. Maybe online sex is still too new for people to fully accept. It is still considered to be very taboo. I'm talking mostly "cyber-sex" of course. People get more fuzzy of video or phone sex.

I don't see anything wrong with it - sometimes. I don't believe in having the internet as your ONLY form of a social life. But it can be an important one.

You need to go flirt with flesh and blood from time to time...

Flash Backs of many Sorts

It seems like the mid nineties is coming back to me.

Just because everyone has been linking to this I really feel like you need to be in on the joke.

I remember that in the nineties, the dance music scene was at its peak. I still believe that. That music was so cheesy, but you just couldn't help but dance your ass off. I mean we all hate the Macarena but don't you go telling me that you didn't know the dance, just like everyone else.

I went searching out my favorite 90's mix. Dance Mix '95 released by much music. considerer by many to be the very best of the series. Included are not only the last two songs I mentioned, but a whole bunch of "classics". I have their weird memory of reading Archie comics while listening to my Dance mix tape (yes tape). Now whenever I hear "total eclipse of the heart" I see Betty drooling over Arch in my head.

Something else from the 90's has recently come back into my life as well. A seriously long time friend. There was a time when I talked to this person at LEAST once a day. We would always talk to each other on the phone, and we got to know each other pretty well. We lost touch for a very long time. Somewhere along the lines of4 or 5 years? I have to say hearing his voice again was a little strange. But it was exactly how I remembered it. That brought back some strong emotions that I didn't even realize were there. All good ones, don't worry. I really have to say I missed him.

So hopefully this will continue and we can at least catch up a couple more times before we drift apart again. Or maybe this could result in a brand new friendship. Who knows. I'm leaving it open, with little expectation. That way I won't be disappointed if shit happens.

I remember sitting in my cousin's basement talking to him. Not what we were talking about in specific... just talking. I wish I could remember...

To the ones who read my blog (that I know about)

As far as I know, there are four people who read my blog. I know this for two reasons.

1. They post comments on said blog.

2. They tell me they read it.

These people are awesome, in too many ways to count. I'm glad I could entertain you enough that you felt like coming back from time to time. Even if you are the only people who read this, I'll keep writing. I realize that this should not be my only reason, and I guess it's not. I do do it for myself as well, as I'm sure you know.

This is also, for lack of a better word, my diary. Yes. Cheesy as it sounds.
Fine a fucking journal then.

But either way, I write what is going on in my life - with no pussie footing around. Sometimes it's funny and sometimes it's personal, scary and yes depressing. But just live through the bad to get to the good. That's what I say!


AND ON THAT NOTE!


I have been working on this large commission recently, with my friend Kalen. They asked for 60 objects to incorporate metal and glass, and reflect nature. We are doing 60 PAIRS of objects. They said no more then 10,000 budget. Ours was significantly less then that.

and

WE WON!

My first BIG commission and I got it!
Kalen called me today, woke me up in fact, and I could hear how shaky he was from his voice. We are both excited. I knew we would win. I could FEEL it.

Other good news!

Grupthink released their version 1.7 today, and it kicks ass! I have to say, it might be enough to bring me back. Only time will tell.


Well cheers for now loves!


Here's to Lydia, Mike, Michael, and TDH

The post after the last one.

You know the best thing you can hear after a gut wrenching post such as the last one here is

"Okay, this is none of my business, but.... All right is spelled as TWO words."

And can I just say that musicians are fucking sexy? Especially the ones that write their own stuff, and have quick fingers?

I just wanted to have a nice thought on here, so you guys didn't think I was dead or something.

Cheers!
