HOW'S IT GOIN BUDDY???????
I'm sorry, it's been a million years since I updated... well. more like a week. I can sum up this past week quite quickly though. This past week was mostly work, work, work, and more work. It was fucking retarded. Oh well, work is SUPER clean now that I work with Omar. Jim and the rest of the people like him and stuff, so that's all good. It's awesome being able to work with 2 people you know very well. Hurray.
On Tuesday night, I went to see Dodgeball again with Danielle. It was just as good, if not better the second time around, cause I caught some stuff that I missed the first time, possibly because I was under the influence of sweet, sweet liquor. Clean!
On Thursday, I spent most of the evening hanging out with Chuck, Omar, and D-Lite. We went to Beaubasin as usual, which was a good time. What wasn't a good time was the new Beasty Boys record. I didn't like very much of it at all. They had some funny stuff in the songs, but basically the album is just not that impressive. Oh well, what kind of quality rap can you expect from old white guys anyway. (I know the boys aren't THAT old, but you have to seese what I'm saying here.)
Friday was the typical jam night at Harris's. I didn't take any pictures because I was too whammied. Oh well, they probably would have been the same type of deal anyway. It was a kick ass time though! Everyone passed out around 3... at least that's what I think. Then Omar woke up at around 7 and drove people home. I slept SO much it was outrageous. Oh well, it made up for my lack of sleep all week. I started to re-arrange my basement. Here are a few pics to help my explanation...
As you can see from these first two pictures, I've removed the TV and stuff from my room and replaced it with all the musical instruments. It was a clean decision. My piano is right next to my computer for easy switch ups. And now, a photo of my piano...
CLEAN!
Also, as you can see, I moved all the couches and entertainment crap into the place that was occupied by the musical equipotent. So, my basement is quite chillin now. After all that was said and done, I went over to Danielle's to watch the Robin Williams Live DVD. That man is THE funniest person alive. When I got home, I went to bed, because I had to work this morning. (Sunday)
And boy, did it SUCK! I worked from 9 until 6, but I really don't care because I got payed time and a half for my efforts. We printed some 1000 (that's right, one thousand) shirts for Tall Ships. It was pretty crazy, the designs were really intricate and difficult to print. Well, I'm pretty fucking tired. And I have to get up at 6 tomorrow to catch the bus. FUCK! Oh well. Paul might be coming over soon... So I'm gonna go... and you can...
GFY,
Tony I

What a weekend. Friday was awesome. I got off of work early and went out to supper with Danielle. It was pretty fun, especially the post-supper mini-golf action. Neither of us played very well, but I lucked out and won... HA! After all that, I got home and called Paul. We went to the LS to get some jimmy and then headed over to Harris's place for a drink and jam. It was pretty clean. I didn't really have much to drink, but there was some solid jamming going on. I grabbed some shots of Dave, Paul, and Steve as they were playing, which was after Dave, Paul, and I were jamming. Take a look at these shots...
That's all of the shots from the jamming. Eventually, Judith showed up and there was a lot of WOG, DOG, COG, VOG, and ROG (if you don't know what I'm talking about, it's too late to get into it.) so we had to stop jamming. We took our drinks and what-not outside to chill. Then Omar showed up and you'll never guess what... I took some more pictures...
I guess I didn't upload them all... hmm. Oh well. Mike D eventually showed up and we ended up going into Halifax to look for a party, and as Dave so humorously put it, to "pick up some chicks". It was pretty funny. Steve, Ian, and Paul were really hammed and we ended up not finding the place. So we went to get some pizza and beer at a restaurant. Steve was BLASTED and was ranting about gambling. I was actually pretty sure we were going to get kicked out of the place. Oh well it was a good time. After all that, Mike D, Paul, and Dave ended up going to the Casino for some more Gamblore, while Omar drove Ian, Steve, and myself home. It was a pretty good day if I do say so myself.
Saturday was a lazy day. Since it was crappy out, I just kinda sat around and played videogames until I had to go to the mall and get my dad's Fathers Day present. But, when I got to the mall, I realized that I had left my wallet at home. But Bobby saved my life, and I didn't have to make a bus trip back home and then back to the mall. Bobby and I then headed under the bridge to drink like trolls. (I apologized if nobody gets that...) G$ and his crew showed up for a cig and then booked, but soon after, Sean Case-discount showed up with Josh and Andrew. We then headed into Bayers Lake to see dodgeball, which was FUCKING AWESOME. Go see it. There was some shim afterward, which capped the evening off. I then went home and passed out while watching family guy. Oh yeah... I forgot to mention that I drank almost an entire quart last night. It was pretty crazy.
Here are a few pics from when we were under the bridge...
Today (Sunday) was loads of fun. I got to go to my Nanny's place for a Father's Day BBQ with my Dad, Grandfather, and a couple of my uncles and cousins (cousints). It was pretty crazy because I got to see my uncle and his wife, whom I hadn't seen in 8 years. They have a baby, who's my youngest cousin on my dad's side. It was an all around good time, and I'm going to post some pics from today...
here's me with a few of my cousins
here's one of my Grandfather...
And one of my Grandmother...
and one of me, my brother, my sister, my dad, and that baby cousin of mine...
Here's one of my Nanny's cat. It's pretty chillin. It let me get REALLY close to it to take this one...
My dad, the baby...
Wow. I'm just looking over what I've written so far, and it looks pretty long. Oh well. There's still more to go... I'll finish this when I get back from chilling with Omar.... (10:00PM)
(12:11PM)
Last picture...
My uncle Rob, Uncle Dave (who I hadn't seen in 8 years), and my dad....
It was a pretty good time, as I've already said. This evening, Omar and I went on a little shim-dig. We drove around and had a good chill at Beaubasin. So much bass. That's is for me tonight, so...
GFY,
Tony I

I got payed today!!! WOO HOO!! Before I tell THAT story, I'm going to talk about Tuesday. It was my day off. Well... sorta. I kinda felt like not going to work on Tuesday, so I called in sick. It was a good day because I got to sleep. I also went to the mall and scoped out the cost of a game cube. CLEAN! It payed off well, because I came out of it well rested. YAH! I guess that was kinda pointless.
Since that's taken care of... Today was sweet! I got payed (I already said it, I know.) and I bought some stuff. What kind of stuff do you ask? Well, I can tell you... but as usual, pictures speak louder than words.
First off I bought a new skin for my 12" tom. I'll show you what the old one looked like first...
Like I said, the pictures speak volumes more... The damn skin was over 2 years old, and it finally gave out on me yesterday while I was practicing. Oh well, it was put to good use. Now, you can see my tom with the new skin on it...
It looks so fresh. It took FOREVER to tune it to the right pitch. I ended up tuning my low tom too, so now it sounds good again! Hurray!
RANDOM PICTURE OF MY DRUMSET!
While I was at musicstop, I also decided to purchase a pair of drumsticks and a 'G' Bass String. You can see them in the following picture!(the box for the skin is in the back)
After I toodled around a bit in musicstop, I made a trip down to Bedford place to see Danielle and pick up a couple CD's. It was a good time. I managed to pick up Depeche Mode's "The Singles 81>85" and The Flaming Lips's "Yoshimi Battles The Pink Robots". I've already listened to both CD's before, but it's awesome to have them on hand to listen to whenever I want. I just finished listening to the DM, and it sounds just as good as I thought it would. That would denote that I'm currently listening to The Flaming Lips album right now. It's pretty good so far, and I'm only through the beginning of the second song. AWESOME. Here's some proof that I actually bought the albums...
COOL!
Speaking of albums, I LOVE the new modest mouse album. It's really good. At least, that's what I think. Some of the tracks just blow me away. I like "The Ocean Breathes Salty", "Bury Me With It", "Float On", "The World At Large", and "The View" the most. It's hard for me to pick a favorite song off the album yet, but as you can see I'm narrowing down my options. I also really like the artwork on the album. It's pretty cool. Check it out...
Before I go, here are 2 random pictures of my workplace...
I guess I'm done. I thought I could only make good posts after a weekend. I'm surprised. Tomorrow, I'm hanging out with Danielle, and then on Saturday... downtown.
'Why?', you ask? Well, if Chris hasn't told you already, his old roommate John is coming down for some reason, and he's wants to go downtown with us. CRAZY! So I plan on being very jimmied at the least... On Sunday, I'm going to a HUGE family BBQ at my Nanny's place. It's going to be NUTS! Everyone on my dad's side of the family is going to be there, including some uncles I haven't seen since I was like... 11 or 12. Crazy. It'll be a good time. I think that will conclude my rather large close-to-end-of-the-week post. (Some might say an 'uber-sized post')As usual...
GFY,
Tony I

Well, how's it going? Do I care? Maybe I do? Who knows.... Yes, I care. I know... It has been a few days (try 7) since I last made the effort to update this little webpage. Not much has really happened since the last update... well, except for the weekend...
I guess I can rant about work a little bit here. Lemme see... Graham and I have been officially separated from each other. Ha. Well, they moved him to the Screen Department and gave him different hours. It's kinda crappy because I was used to chillin and making jokes all day long, and now it doesn't happen. Oh well. I still have a good pic. Oh boy, do I ever have a good pic. HA. Other than that, I spent all week rebuilding my wrists because I've been printing manually, but I won't bore you with the details too much. Just ask me about it if you really want to know. I'm so lazy...
On Friday night, I went drinking with Rachel from work and a few of her friends. It was an ok time, but nothing too stellar. I'll probably chill with her and her peeps again sometime. I was too drunk to take any pictures though. I was so wasted on the bus home... I passed out with my MD player and phone in my hands and woke with a jolt everytime Bobby called me wasted off of his ass, or when Paul called. It was pretty funny. I'm sure I looked like a bag of hammers on the bus. Oh well. I enjoyed that much of it... haha.
Saturday was fun fun fun. I got a little wammed with the guys (minus chuck) at Eagles Rock. It was pretty fun. I busted out my camera, as you can see, and took some scenery shots and some pics of everyone that was there. You will now see these photos...
That takes care of those.....
Today (Sunday) consisted of me playing warcraft for a bit. Then I went on another random Sunday adventure through Bedford/bayers lake. We visited McHomoface, hassled my brother at his workplace, hassled the white-chocolate kids at my brothers workplace, and then searched around Value Village. It was quite a good time...
OK my computer almost crashed about 2 seconds ago. I barely squeezed this out as a draft. I almost lost all of my hard work.... ANYWAY...
I then came home for supper and then I cleaned my room (CLEAN!) and played Warcraft some more. At around 8, I went to see Garfield with Danielle. It was fun, but the movie was sub-par at best. I mean, Bill Murray WAS the voice of Garfield, but there was not enough of the comic book incorporated into the movie. I'd write more, but I don't want to spoil it for people. I just hope they don't decide to make a "Calvin and Hobbes" movie. I'd kill my self if Bill Watterson ever sunk to that level... We ran into the rest of the Mackoids while at the theatre, which was cool, especially since I haven't really seen Chuck in like a week, but that's how it is with the workin and what not...
So to wrap things up, it was a pretty good weekend. As usual, I bet next week/weekend will have more adventures to talk about. Maybe I'll post more than just once... or maybe not.
GFY,
Tony I
