I'm STILL a self confessing, self professing know-it-all, or so I think!

… in the exact same spot on Bremner Boulevard!

but this time… bupkis!

… i LOVE LOVE livin’ life in the6!

June ? 2009

not sure of the exact day… although w/dedicated perseverance could nail it (is the super-bowl-sunday laziness in me. i’m using that as an excuse. i stand corrected… it’s the everyday laziness in me). a great day nonetheless! i do remember this was the last pic jeff snapped out of hundreds… and, i also remember him (he reminded me of animal from lou grant) telling me, how much he loved this pic, said it resonated our effort and accomplishment… our culmination after two hours in front of the lens. truthfully, for years, i never was much a fan of it. now, seven-and-a-half years later… i’m warming up to it!

if i want to sit in and drink super tennents in the day i will, no one’s gonna fucking tell me jack!

but can you rely on anyone in this world, no you can’t.

it’s all my fault there’s wall to wall empty cans.

… everyone’s a cunt in this life no one’s there for me.

it’s the end of the something i did not want to end, 
beginning of hard times to come. 
but something that was not meant to be is done, 
and this is the start of what was.

wringing in the new year!

… am sure everybody wanted their hands wrapped tight ’round culprit’s neck! squeezing!! motherfucking douche parked his (her?) car outside my building new year’s eve, quickly, absentmindedly & obliviously went on their clued-out partying way. meanwhile, and apparently unbeknownst (i’m too kind, givin’ shitheads benefit of the doubt) to said motherfucking douche… car alarm kept coming on and off all night/morning! painfully ear-piercing too (was SO SO fucking loud)! ordeal lasted over 26 hours! affected 100s of unhappy campers. if ’16 wasn’t the worst, this kick in the arse made it so for this block of leslieville residents. as david g (who’s pic i use, giving credit to) stated; how lucky the car owner is this happened in a “polite” neighbourhood. he’s right! i swear, this shit happens in the us of a, and that’s a smouldering hunka metal left for dead in no time! alas, our slap on the wrist verdict by some pissed-off and sleep deprived ‘villians consisted of a few nasty notes, a bit of egging… some sushi-ing (lol)… AND, lotsa gingerbread man-ing (LOL)!!  YEP, you read that shite right… SUSHI, and GINGERBREAD MEN!!

we don’t play y’all, lol!!

… don’t mess with les(lieville)!!

janie jones… ‘n jennie too!

trip j’s… google the shit outta janie jones, it’s that cool! my girl gettin’ swallowed ‘n gentrified in her neck (literally) of the leslieville woods. double d’s (chicago deep dish pizza) doublin’ down… settin’ up shop doors down soon too! she’s sittin’ (laid-back hipster-chic, ‘n lucky-duck) pretty, that’s fer sure. after not seeing jennie for 2, perhaps 3 years??… she didn’t miss a beat, and kept going on and non-stop on w/profound life-living advice. what an incredibly uplifting, awesome soul. plus, she didn’t stop working the whole time we conversed and visited. AND, when i was ready to leave… said she was gonna give me a hug… she stopped working, then stood up and came over to give me said hug, lol. and, lucky for me… it lingered! thanks again for your insanely inspirational guru wisdom girl! i will continue to take it to heart, as i’ve always had. a part (HUGE part) of me truly believes i’m here, where i am in my life… the person i’ve become these past 3-4 years because of things you said to me in the past, and the influence/persuasion that only you’re capable of w/your subtle teachings! thank you, my friend… thank you thank you thank you!!!!

oh, and she STILL proudly hangs that awesome pic i snapped eons ago (i pulled it down to take a pic, of THAT pic, lol). doing so, i remember, she had it enlarged and printed… she was so happy, proud. i’m happy, proud too jennie! was SO good seeing you… and, i’ll be back to see you, learn more from you… you can count on that!

… jennie from the block y’all!

My My Míele!

LOVE LOVE, my new vacuum! Canary Yellow rocks, and ya can’t go wrong w/ a high-end brand name like Míele! And, after reading reviews… apparently better than the one most think of when thinking vacuum cleaners. W/ 1200 watts of power; sucker suctions like a vacuum on steroids! AND, ’cause of their 99.9% filtration system, am breathing better & easier… I really feel it! Less than 4 hours of purchasing (meanwhile, tossing out my 30 year old bullshit Beaumark), am happier than a pig in shit w/ this one y’all… did I say the canary colour kills too, lol!
