I am such a slacker with the updating.
I just hate blogging, it even sounds like some gross bodily function, doesn't it?
"I just blogged all over your shirt, sorry." No? Maybe it's just me.

So I just shot a set with the lovely Cherry I had never met her before so I was a little nervous but she is so down to earth and kind so it was a breeze. I didn't get to see any digital previews so it's going to be a complete surprise. I think it's going to blow all your asses out tho, so prepare yourselves.

As for news about myself:
I've quit safeway/starbucks because they are evil and treat me like crap for minimum wage. The customers are also crazy and spoiled and weren't hugged enough as children. Well, they're just really particular and grumpy especially decaf drinkers (REALLY grumpy)
The amount of starbucks in Vancouver is actually astounding, on Robson St. there are 2 of them across from eachother. There is basically one on every street.
The problem with Starbucks is that they've given their customers way too many options. You don't just order a latte and take what they give you and shut up. You get to pick the temperature, fat content, foamyness, flavour, caffeine content, everything!
Except here is a secret: sometimes those options don't make sense.... at all
So here is a guide for you starbucks patrons so the baristas don't think you're an idiot.
-extra hot = burnt milk
-half caf =stop kidding yourself and switch to decaf
- no foam latte = the foam and milk in steamed milk takes a while to separate so if you want no foam your drink isn't going to be done in under 3 minutes (the reason people order this is because they are cheap skates and feel they are being cheated out of half an inch of latte if foam is included, that's what they've told me anyway)
-1% milk= means I have to mix 2% milk and skim together, it also means you are really annoying.
and for god sakes STOP USING PRETENTIOUS ITALIAN/STARBUCKS LINGO. You are ordering coffee from the mcdonalds of coffee houses.
ex: "I would like that with caramel affogato" (I didn't spell that right) We had to look that up just to discover that the lady wanted caramel goop squirted on her hot chocolate.
Now that was a good rant! Moving on:
(Sorry I have the flu right now and therefore a lot of time on my hands)

On Valentines day I got to go on a date to the harbour tower in Downtown Vancouver. For those of you not familiar, it's a rotating restaurant with spectacular views of the city.

It was beautiful, the elevator up was scary fast tho. Everyone in the elevator made "whaaaaooooo" noises on the way up and the food was so-so even tho it was extremely expensive. But, I felt very special that night and that's all that mattered right? (I've actually never had a Valentine before so it was pretty groundbreaking for me)
I was also entertained that you knew exactly when to go to the bathroom because you could say "oh, here comes the ladies room, I'll be right back"
That magical night ended by me running into my drunk friends who just got kicked out of the bourbon for being too rowdy at a Doors cover band show. My friend Scott kept saying "I didn't do shit! They kicked me out for no reason! I was REALLY drunk and rowdy, but I didn't do shit!" and then he proceeded to pee in the middle of the street. Then we all played some video games, ate some mushrooms which caused one of my friends to start talking in slow motion for a portion of the night.
Great fun.

Oh yes, I also think it's time I introduced you to my trusty dog "Odie". It's really my mom's dog but I love him just as much:

We adopted him from up north in BC where, from what I understand, some farmer had a bunch of dogs he kinda ignored and they ran wild in a little pack eating garbage. When we first got him he was too scared to go for walks, never wagged his tail and stole all our socks and underwear and kept them under our kitchen table.
Now he stamps around the neighbourhood like he owns it. He also thinks I'm another dog and tries to talk to me. It sounds kinda like "mllauuwn mllauuwn *whine* mlaaa mllllllaaa"

Well that's all the interesting things I can think of at the moment and they might not even be interesting! ( I think I"m terribly funny tho)
I hope you all had a lovely easter holiday ( I don't really understand easter, and according to south park, no one does, but it's a holiday which is always good)
Don't forget to check out my rejected set: Clear Channel which I think deserves a good look since it's some damn fine nudity tongue and gold stars to everyone who figured out which band the name came from! I think it might have just been SonOfAPunk

Take'r easy kiss

I am a coffee pagan in my world there is coffee (a caffeine delivery system) and decaf a/k/a blackish water, small, medium, and large, comes either black or regular (in NY that means milk and sugar), and either tastes good (starbucks, dunkin donuts, javacity) or bad (dinner, someplace that makes more when the last pot is empty, or the free mud at work). On a good day at work I get to drink it while it is still hot, many days it is warm, and bad days room temperature frown

Odie is very cute.

The amount of times you return my calls is horrifying. tongue tongue tongue

Glad you had a lovely Valentines day. biggrin I just got reeeeeeally drunk, and skanked away with a bunch of vegan ladies who are way older than me. And then I talked too much.

And "Clear Channel", as it turns out, is a company that is responsible for all the super unreasonably high ticket prices. They own every fucking venue in North America except for the privately owned, small-business type venues (i.e. - El Corazon, The Cobalt, Pat's Pub). That's what the song is about. I learned all this from my boss! For the longest time I thought it was called "Clear Channel" because you can distinguish sounds from one another and the lyrics are actually eligable compared to the past recordings of the same song.

Oh, and I'm seeing Leftover Crack in a month.

...Again.

....And not to name-drop (just kidding, SIMPLY to name drop: ) Stza is givin' my band some pretty good advice at how to make it in the punk-ska-core league.

We're doin' well.

RETURN MY FUCKING CALLS!

COME SEE MY FUCKING BAND PLAY!

...And where you workin' now anyhow?

School is going fine, but I'm a bit scared about getting old. Am I too old to be hitting the books, again?
And yes, it's tough, but I'm hanging in there. People say I'm quite good, so that's something.
You never had a valentine before? Talk about being unappreciated.
Anyway, I hope you succeed in your efforts. I know you'll work hard, so my wish is that you have lots of luck also.
Go for it.

That view reminds me of a spot in downtown Baltimore.

yeah, starbucks is taking over the world. i used to work at a Seattle's Best Coffee in D.C. until a starbucks moved in across the street. They're competing with their own business. whatever

Plenty of shows coming up. Like Pat's Pub on Thursday. $4! biggrin

And yeah, I don't know who the hell that band that is reuniting is or anything, so interest ain't really up there. Haha.

But I trust your judgement. Maybe I'll go to that. We're playing Seylynn in of the J-months. We got a tour in the summer and are bookin' up lots and lots, super fast. We're playing a show with Furios and NinjaSpy and Secondrate Rejects and Knuckle Dusters and Uptown Riot in June. I think I might get Easy Bro's and Speedshaker on the bill. Who knows... But you should come out for that. I can give you a place to crash, some company, and etcetera! We got lots of freakin' catching up to do! I miss you kiddo!

Come be my friend s'more!
