i am santa

the holidays are in full swing. i was summoned to dress up as santa yesterday for my little cousins. pictures to follow perhaps. i spilled beer on my mom's head and on the dog.

got some really cool gifts this year. stef got me a beer dispensing fridge and a silk screen kit and a very nice book about old time hockey. my parents got me a hard cymbal case, a power amp for my record player, and a bunch of other odds and ends.

i played yahtzee for the first time at marc's house. i like that game.

fuck, its been awhile.

dan's birthday kegger was the most raging show ive ever played. attempted to do a beer bong while playing. it wasnt a success. carnage the whole time, these black dot shows are getting more and more rowdy.

the release date for the new black ships record "low" has been pushed back to february. its not a bad thing in the end.

this rain is so dumb, what the fuck.

my foot is getting better. first thing im going to do wen im better is go play hockey.

party week is fast approaching.

"i deserved that"

heres a little story. on friday stef had her work christmas party. an evening spent with an open bar left her dazed and confused, among other things. she called me and i could barley understand anything she was saying. i still believe that something was slipped into her drink. anyways, me and chevy went to get her, only to find her slumped in a snowbank. while helping her up st-laurent, a homeless man asked us if we had any change. i said no, but stef decided she didnt like this certainly stinky man, so she donkey kicked him. his only reply was "i deserved that." i couldnt believe it. i apologized to the man and he wished me good luck.

then as we're lumbering up the street, this random dude askes us if we want to "hang out". stef was gracious enough to reply with a "FUCKKKK OFFFFFFFFF". the dude looked confused, then as we're walking away, he chimes in a very perplexed "fuck you".

saturday was the mon oeil fest. i went well. the black dot is becoming one of my favourite places to play. it always seems to have a good atmosphere. keg party there on friday for dan's birthday.
whoever slashed the tire of the van is a fucking piece of shit.

late bloomer

it seems as though almost every weekend in the new year is a busy one for me. i have a feeling the new year is going to be all over the place. im interested in seeing how its going to unfold.

the forensics song im listening to right now is really really garbage. oh i just realized its a cover.

EVERYONE SHOULD LISTEN TO THE NEW FIGHT AMP SONG. these dudes are some friends of mine from south jersey and their new song fucking rips me a new asshole every time i listen to it. im looking into seeing if they would be interested in coming up to play here. those dudes also like to drink shitty beer and whiskey, something that i think my whole group of friends like to do as well.

i got a nice big shipment of records today. lots of new stuff to listen to. now all i need is a laptop or something in my room...

at some point i have to dig out the van which is completely snowed in. i believe that will happen on saturday...

im excited to see how the black ships 7" comes out. its cool that someone actually wants to put it out for us.

lots of stuff happening this weekend. lets get wasted.

CAUSE I AM A MAN

FUCK YOU MTC. YOUR STUPID FUCKING BUS ALMOST DECAPITATED ME.

spinning tires

first big storm of the year. lots of snow, lots of cars in ditches. drove marc around all day, all the way out to mascouche. not that bad of a drive, people make such a big deal out of a snowstorm. parking downtown is a bitch though.

as soon as my foot is going to be better im going to have a sweet part time job. lets just say ill be in the same breathren as youppi.

the cold

apparently there is supposed to be a huge snowstorm tonight and tomorrow. i cant wait to drive in that. im supposed to drive marc around. as sarcastic as that sounds, i actually do like driving in snow. contrary to most other people in this city, it doesnt make me nervous. it sucks that my handbrake is broken or i would be having barrels of fun tomorrow.

is it just me or are rap "performers" really running out of subject matter for their videos? because not every shawty is a ten. that has to be the most fucking stupid video ive ever seen. or that will.i.am "got it from my momma". way to make non self respecting girls feel like shit.

i hope that kyle is going to make it to montreal. get ready for shit to hit the fan when he is here. oh boy, im going to get punched in the face again.

so i found out that there is an avenged sevenfold riff which emulates a black ships riff...

talk about a bummer.

saturday i ate a a totally awesome buffet. marc ate a frog, i ate 4 plates of food and unfortunetaly adam didnt puke in the parking lot. for some reason there was a dude eating with his parka on, mitts, tuque and goggles/weirdo glasses on that made him look like a fly. its fucking cold already but not that cold. kyle we're going to go.

we made some big 10 cup teams last night. hopefully my foot will get better and everything will go according to plan. i cant wait to run some people through the boards.

"why are you looking at me like that?"

so im sitting here and stefanie just farted and blamed it on me. how typical.

copper and stars

first snow storm of the year. its funny how it makes people drive like old farts. im extremely happy i managed to get a brand new winter jacket for 35$ that is actually warm. outside hockey is around the corner and my foot is getting better. i think i am going to organize another big 10 cup this year.

last night was the attack in black, ladyhawk, barn burner show at sala rossa. decent show, and the food that was put out before the show was awesome. i left after i was done packing up my drums to head down to the last planes mistaken for stars show in montreal. theyre werent many people there which was sad to see. but after 5 years of listening and going to see that band, they FINALLY played the song i wanted to hear.

when i walk i look like a clumsy old man. youre more than welcome to laugh at me.

its snowing again.

attack defend attack again

i just received the cursed one re-press in the mail today. fuck does 180 gram vinyl sound good.

the snow has arrived. ive started walking on my heel. whoa, is that exciting. looks like i got fucked up the ass really hard.

the barn burner recording sounds good.

i want to eat chicken wings.

weekend nachos

so last weekend proved to live up to its hype, which is a fresh change from the norm. in my current state, i could care less that its a weekday, weekend or a holiday. days just roll by at an extremely slow pace. when i was working, i looked forward to the weekend, a chance to truly party. normally they would be alright but never lived up to the over-hyped expectations that we all had for them. anyways, last weekend ruled.

friday = awesome party. place got jam packed, i fell over, some idiot started playing with my crutches, goddamn was that guy stupid. go take more artsy club kid pictures of yourself, dumbass. beer tornadoes, no shirts, emma's tits out(so you know it was raging) and too much whiskey.

saturday was the black ships, barn burner, snake master, die brucke show at the black dot. i somehow managed to cut my finger pretty badly at my house on a lamp before the show. so not only did i play twice with a broken foot, but my finger was also bleeding all over the place. show was awesome, everyone liked all the bands. snake master is the coolest metal band you can think of.

i am a walking disaster these days. what the fuck.

i want nachos.

bay of pigs

so i decided to hop on the internet band wagon. no, i didnt get a facebook, nor will i ever. no need to network with brock mcdonald or kyle scott. instead, i got a blog. i think it will be pretty useful for me since i am often away on trips with bands and such. i will be able to chronicle upcoming trips more thoroughly on here instead of trying to tell incoherent and broken stories with multiple pauses when i get home. i know that i am horrible at that. so here it is, my first ever blog.

as many of you know, my foot got run over by a jerk about a month ago. two broken bones and a lot of ligament damage later, i am stuck sitting here at home. many of you would love to be in the place that i am right now, but, alas, i fucking hate it. i like to move around, i actually like my job (most of the time anyway), so to sit around for three months isnt a choice i would of normally made.

was it an accident? no, it wasnt. did the cops come? yes, they did. did they do anything? no, they didnt.

go figure.

i love the province that i live in, but i seriously think our justice system is backyards. if not for the linguistic issues at the scene, would i of been treated differently? do we live in the 21st century? you would think that as the world becomes more of an open market for nearly everything (shopping, networking, population shifts, etc) that in a city such as montreal, everyone would be bilingual, especially the police. dont they have to take a fucking test for that shit?

on a personal level, i generally dont really like cops. ive seen them in their training at my old cegep, and thought they were jerks there. in my lifetime, ive met a couple of nice ones. the "accident" only furthered my hate for them. as hypocritical as it may sound, the only time i actually needed them to do something (well actually the third time, but im not going to get into that now), they failed me as a citizen. even with two witnesses (oh wait, they were english, i guess that doesnt count right?), they refused to take statements from our point of view. but the other party (mr. meathead), got to give his statement, all in the natural language of the land. how ironic is that?

in the end, i am just hoping for a little justice and for this meathead to not get away with it. he's probably still laughing with his buddies about the time he "ran over that stupid punk". if its either through the justice system or through a concoction of my own devices, he'll get his.

thats it for now, had to get that off my chest.
