G20

Basically:

I have no pity for anyone down there, police or civilians. Everyone's at fault, I don't know why people are so shocked. I'm angry at the fact that half the people down there are just there to fight the law because it's easier to when you're surrounded by hundreds of other mindless idiots with no cause. Thanks for over shadowing the messages worth hearing and taking attention away from the actual G20 which needs to be seen for what it is: a billion dollar photo shoot. Everyone's given into the agent provocateurs, Harper's gotten exactly what he wanted, and the 930 million dollars spent on security is now justified. Idiots. The cops are idiots, Harper's an idiot, the anarchists are idiots, the people down there only for a fun time are idiots.

I'm sick of all the dumb facebook updates from people who have no idea what they're talking about. I'll be the first to say I didn't know much about the G20 either until last week, and I don't claim to be an authority on it nor do I claim to know a lot, but I educated myself and it's time for people to do the same before they get upset over the violence. Cause that's really not the issue. It really is true that whatever gets the most media coverage is what people are most interested in.

Idiots:

• Harper, for thinking Toronto is a good place to shut down and host World Leaders


• Violent protestors, for thinking radicalism will get their message across....what was it again? No one knows.


• Cops, for instigating violence. I'm all for police for doing their job, but come on, leaving a cop car unattended for hours in the middle of Queen St. ... we all saw through that bullshit

I'd love to be able to watch the news and get real G20 updates about the empty promises that are being made instead of being forced to watch the fires and destruction. But hey, I guess that just makes for better tv.

The G20 is a joke from all angles, there's no use taking sides.

Teaching my first student tomorrow. Way too excited, plus I've been hired to work staff at the National Music Camp at the end of the summer. Basically the start to my teaching career. Stoked!

This is Hell - Weight of the World

Thanks Scott!

new This is Hell stream!

Thanks Tim! Here's a stream of Weight of the World if anyone's interested.

I was gonna pack for the cottage, but then I put Rohnert Park on again and I don't feel like doing anything besides sitting here and listening. Oh well.
It's raining outside, and I've heard it's pretty bad out towards Waterloo and I wouldn't doubt that it's coming this way but I can't seem to mind. We're heading to Cam's cottage tonight with a bunch of wicked people. I've heard it's a pretty unreal set up so I'm stoked, rainy weather or not. I'm even excited for the lake, which is ridiculous since I have a pretty severe phobia of open water.
Besides that I really don't have much to say other than, be excellent to each other.

reunion. and we got tickets

some leaks

forgot how wicked this album is

better see everyone there next week.

so unimpressed.

oh, and new ceremony rules. that is all.

i want my hands in your hair

pulling your face closer

i should just call this my party blog

Considering it consists of nothing but updates on my nights out. But it's all I really have going on in my life right now so whatever!

I guess this week could've really started back last Wednesday, beginning with Misery Signals at Guelph. Needless to say they played an awesome set and there were fun times all around.

Thursday turned out to be far more eventful than I could've imagined. I got a call from my teacher Wednesday night asking if I wanted to go to Wonderland for free the next day, and of course I accepted. The only catch was I would have to sit in and sight read with the younger bands in Hannaford which wasn't too much of a problem because the music was not difficult really. Oh, that and I had to get myself to York Mills station by 9 am. That part sucked a bit, but I spent all last year busing my ass to U of T for 9 am rehearsals on Saturdays so I knew the drill. Little did I know I would be stuck sitting on the train at Kipling for an hour waiting for it to move, and saying screw it and taking the subway the rest of the way. Of course, the subway was down past St. George, so in order to get to the Yonge line I had to get out of the subway and run all the way down Bloor. I managed to get there eventually, and the day ruled etc etc, taking us to Friday.


Partied in Guelph at Pat's with Mark and some lovely ladies, sang some ridiculous kareoke, and moved onto Saturday. After waiting 2 hours for my bus to Kitchener, I managed to make it to my new place, catch a hangover nap, meet up with Chris and Damian, and prepare for the night. I finally got around to having my house warming party which was a success. Lots of people bailed but tonnes showed up, taped some 40s to their hands and got sloppy. Edward 40 hands never fails.

Sunday I headed back to Milton, and as soon as I made it back home I was headed right back to Guelph for some more partying. No shock here.

Monday morning we all woke up feeling good and ready to go, so what else was there to do besides go to the Science Center? Nothing. Obviously. We headed back to Milton, and a couple hours later we missioned it to Toronto with Mark, Mike squared and Sidra. Turned out to be an unreal day; wicked weather and not too many people. Smoked some weed, saw the Harry Potter exhibit (which was awesome, I totally recommend seeing it this summer), saw all our other favourite spots, and watched the Hubble imax movie. Afterwards we headed downtown to the Bistro for some beers before heading back to town. Needless to say it was the perfect day.

Which brings us to today. Woke up at 2 and hung around drinking smoothies, tanning and smoking a bowl with Keyah and Emma in the sun. Jealous yet?
Lovin this summer and hating not having a job less and less everyday.

picture time!

i'm glad i know who my real friends are. the rest of you mean nothing to me.

you're not stupid

you're just selfish. and a slave to your impulse.
