06.18.08 On the day I most greatly anticipated myself being hung over, I find myself on the streetcar coming home from work, tired and very much ready to punch something that’ll surely bleed. Along with my want to drink again comes the fear of what spiraling slide I’ll find myself lodged into next should I [...]
Today marked the official end to The Beer Weight Experiment – Thirty One days of sobriety for the sake of finding out how much of my physical makeup was comprised of my biggest vice, beer. It’s finally over… or possibly over too soon. There wasn’t an elaborate Last Day fiasco, nor will there be one [...]
By the time I was 17 my daughter was about to be born and I would question whether or not she was mine. By 22 I would smash a glass over my girlfriends face after being punched twice over issues of insecurity, ideas of jealousy, and the thought again, of being left alone. 3 hours [...]
Today was the celebration of the birthdays of two of The Remix Projects finest participants, my dudes, William Nguyen and Adiel Papa. I wasn’t able to make it due to responsibilities at home that seem quite trivial. Things like doing the laundry and cleaning my room, organizing my piles of tax receipts and throwing out [...]
When I got removed from my elementary school in 93 for behavioural issues and being a threat to other students, there was a period of time when it didn’t feel like I was under any structure at all. My parents sent me off to my aunties house and I upped and left after one night, [...]
Yesterday I was M.I.A. from The Beer Weight Experiment, and you might be asking yourself, “Wha happen?”. Well, like many other nights, I was up very late writing a post and by the time I was finished I realized my camera had been on the whole time. When I woke up yesterday morning to take [...]
It’s 3:29 AM here in Toronto. I’m listening to Norah Jones, “Feels Like Home” and I feel more awake than I have in a few weeks. The atmosphere in my kitchen is a lot like the atmosphere in my room at my old apartment. I’m sure nobody can hear me right now, and I’m quite [...]
As the cats and raccoons do their nightly scrapping in the parking lot behind me, I’m thinking that with only 6 days left in the BWE the real issue isn’t ‘not drinking’, it’s finding a way to do it moderately. The issue is how am I going to go back to drinking in a fashion [...]
I like it hot. Trust me. And if you’re ‘pausing’ that, then you’re obviously a dude who has homoerotic thoughts that you’re clearly feeling uncomfortable about. So relax, take a breath, and think it through, you’ll be fine, child. For the majority of the Canadian year we suffer through rain, snow or grey skies. My [...]
I walked into Subway today and guess what I saw???!!! What the fuck?! Be careful eating tomatoes, guys. It seems like something really fucked up is going on and I don’t trust it. (Read BWE: Day Twentytwo… for more on the tomato issue) On a side note: I took my daughter and her friend to [...]
