When I die

Wednesday, March 11th, 2009

So yeah, when I die, quote me as having said;

I stand, when standing isn’t easy.

Yeah, that’s all.

Turning Back Time: My Theory

Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

I’m no scientist and no I have not figured out a way to turn back time, nor do I have a theory (watching people close this window now) but don’t you wish you could sometimes? You know…turn back time? I’ve been a huge believer in NEVER regretting things in life for so long now, but I’m starting to doubt myself I think. I’m regretting things more and more every day, which is not entirely bad…I guess.

I know I can make some things right again with a little clarity, a little effort, suppose I will but there are things that break real bad, not like humpty dumpty you know? More like if he had swallowed a grenade, doubt any one could put that sucker back together again right? Well yeah, things to that extent, just, something so messed up and ruined and spoiled with time that no amount of effort can fix. Wish I could turn back time for many reasons, wish I could be young again with no responsibility, not a care in the world, wish I was part of a real family again, you know, them passing away and all doesn’t help with that. I guess I’m mostly wanting to turn back time for things that can never be again, but all the same I find myself trying and failing, and then trying again. Stubborn ass fool, I know.

So wait, I guess I do have a theory on turning back time, maybe. It does not involve shaving off all your pubic hair and strapping high voltage wires to your arse, nope, nor does it involve a machine, sorry for spoiling that moment for you eli. But yeah. So my theory goes something like this;

Forget the past.

Yeah that’s all I came up with, but you know, it’s a point im trying to prove to myself, forget the past. What’s done is done…look forward (no not into the future) but fix what you still can (telling that to myself not you, although feel free to take this all in). So to fix what’s still bugging me is going to take one hell of an effort, a lot bugs me, suppose I have to start somewhere.

To the few reading this blog still that I truly care about, and are genuine friends, and who i’ve either told to sod off or shut out, read whats below and try to match which message is to you, best I can do…

  • You flew right by me and didn’t see me U turn mate, you kept speeding off, I never had anything against you, still don’t, you chose left I chose right, no one is at fault there, Promise, I don’t hate you, I don’t hate anyone.
  • What can I say, you’re like family, but push came to shove and you shoved all my buttons at the same time, you knew better and it just ticked me off, miss the bar, the pool rounds and the spilled beer, oh and that beauty of a tank you drive. call me sometime.
  • I swear I love your music, never meant to not show up at the special gig though, I just could not stand to be around the person you know I have problems with, would have ruined the night for you and I could not do that. Hence why I never showed up…he went hoping I’d come, you know how he gets, you still owe me a fucking beer you cheap bastard. = )
  • I’m ok with you doing what you did now, I get that life was hard, times were tough and you had a family to take care of, don’t even sweat the rest, consider it an early birthday present or something, so stop avoiding my calls, i’ll even give you that in writing you slimy fucker haha. We’re good.
  • ugh
  • No hard feelings, I guess you always wanted me to explain why, see, there was no why…I just had to shut a lot of good people out because of what was going on, I doubt I even explained things well, I doubt I acted like the person you thought you knew, i’m sure I probably upset and confused you, what can I say that wont sound too corny or lame…let’s be friends? didn’t work did it? We’ll work on it.

Lot’s of other stuff I’d like to get off my chest, all in due time.

Oh, Wired, Jake, Amber, I know you guys were/are counting on me, i’ll be back in full form really soon, i’m also sure you know that though.

Keep it real boys and girlies, go turn back the hands of time ;)

Yahoo Stealth Mode

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

It’s a well known fact that nothing online is secure, nothing online is private, not even your beloved YIM or MSN. Both can cause you problems, you think you’re safe in stealth mode, invisible or appearing to be offline? Well all that does not really work. I can even tell when you’re messaging other people ;)

Now let me get something straight here, yes, I know when all my contacts that appear offline are actually online, I also known when they message, and if I really cared to know I can view what they are sending. See? MSN, AOL, YIM, all very insecure so keep your nose clean and don’t get caught telling a white lie, or worse. Here’s an example of the simplest way to know if someone is online, this technique works 70% of the time but it’s simplest, all you do is copy the below code in your address bar and replace the word userid with your contacts userid. Mine for example would be mikekannne now i’m always invisible when im working, but if you use that url you’ll see it as i’m online and catch me out ;)

Enjoy this one of many tricks, and remember, there’s always someone watching you! No urban myth there, it’s very much a reality we’re living in. ha!

Anil Dash…Anil Who?

Monday, September 8th, 2008

Yeah, some of you are that clueless, but it’s ok, I’ll educate you real quick. Anil Dash is probably one of the greatest bloggers of all time, second greatest, ok maybe third, but he is, in my personal opinion one of the greats. Now sure, some of his posts are all business oriented and a way to market some of sixaparts products, but when you read his personal blog, you automatically know this guy is a hardcore blogger, simple as that.

Now, Anil has been blogging for almost a freaking decade, that’s a long ass time to be blogging, part of the reason why he’s up there with the best, shit 10 years ago I was surfing all day and riding my motorbike wondering how i’m going to nab my dads credit card this time. So what is this all about, really it’s a reply to one of Anil’s tweets. No shit, no I know he could care less about this, so I’ll go on and not even direct any of it at him personally, just my thoughts on this comment;

Dressed up and looking sharp, went to a great restaurant with good friends. Being grown up beats the *hell* out of being young and broke. 07:55 PM September 06, 2008 from web

Ok, let me just state something real quick, dressing up, and looking sharp to go out with good friends is truly something I love to do, heck who doesn’t right? So that’s obviously not what bothers me with Anil’s tweet (which I know is his own personal opinion and should not bother me, though it does, so as it’s a public tweet, and probably read by tons who I doubt had the nuggets to comment on, I shall, because to be honest, yeah i’ve been there and know how some would feel).

What bugs me is the next part that states; Being grown up beats the *hell* out of being young and broke. Now before some of you start with the ‘oh im so fucking smart’ comment, and point out that anil was most likely referring to a state he was in before ‘growing up, making money and what not’ let me point out that to many, it does not read like that. Rub it in their faces, something I do sometimes but not like that I guess.

Anil, no hard feelings, I’m just putting this out there for some of my forum members to comment on rather than crowed up the prvt sections with Anil did this and Anil did that, seriously, take it out on here, because I’ll promise you he’ll see this, he’s good like that.

Anil is a cool guy, cool friend, says it how it is, and lives in New York too now, so it’s all cool. I just think somewhat public figures, like Anil, should watch some of the things they say, hey im not getting in his face about what he’s free to say and not say, just giving ‘my’ opinion, which you’re all welcome to drill holes in if you like ;) I mean the comment above is not the same thing as reviewing Yahoos new mailing servers or whatever the heck it was anil was doing there, think he just doesn’t like Canadians that much :P I can’t blame him tbh!

I’ve told Jeremy, Marcus and HaRRo about this, as well as others, when you have a large following online, watch how you go about it, show that much respect to the people that keep your jobs alive, to those that respect you and give you a reason to blog and be online. Anil, you’re a stand up sort of guy, wicked personality and an all round nifty blogger, i just had to get some of those guys out the ‘anil dash does it again’ threads ;)

Hot Young Models?

Monday, September 8th, 2008

I mean that sounds fine, but some can get as young as 12 years old, most 14-17?! Dressed n skimpy looking clothes, sometimes a single piece of cloth wrapped around their more than likely to be anorexic boddies, something about sends signals flying, like, wtf is going on with the fashion industry? Come on, what we selling tickets to pedobears to come watch a fashion show now? Front seats and all? BullShit. Yes, BullShit.

So yesterday I was invited by a friend to come hang out with her while she does a photoshoot, being an ex-model herself she usually works in that part of the industry, so I got there and watched Alexis Cooper doing her thing. Very very impressive, I’m sure she’ll update her site with some of the shots she can share but damn, impressive. I took some of these young models…ha sneaking into the dressing room will def not go down well with anyone I’m sure, but fuck it. Blog worthy shit is ‘bullet in foot’ worthy these days.

On the upside, I got to take photos of this one model, she looked legal ha! I did not ask though, figured what I didnt know could not hurt me! So below is a couple pictures, first one of Jess I took, I know, looks like some professional dude took it right? HAHA! I kept saying ’say cheese’ and I guess that was super corny or something, had most laughing, fuck them, I did good! I got real close and zoomed a lot at times but hey, this was the only one that turned out good out of maybe 30 I took, yeah I know! Other pix below of these young models, one looks 14, no doubt….what do you guys think about this, honestly now? I mean some of the cloths they were wearing, well damn it, sexy to say the least and im sure that’s purpose but 14year olds skimpily dressed like that? Something about that strikes me as odd? Then again I’m by no means familiar with how this industry functions, maybe with time I will, meh.

My shot of Jess, standing in front of a wall because Alexis was busy using that whole star wars setup thing with lights and screens and stuff! In her hot ass cow boy boots, HAHA! Ok, this was the only publish worthy one out of like freaking 30, and I swear it looks hot, she didnt want it though, I sent her a tiny version via MMS, she’s like, no thanks keep it :P Whatever! pffft. (PS: girl has nice teeth ha! ;) )

jess in boots

This one is of the dressing room, behind the scenes sort of thing, ha so glad none were actually changing, that would have been wrong I suppose, ha! Ok so I mean take a look for yourself, what do you think? Am I over reacting? She’s got to be 14? 15? heck even 16 ? and it’s not young kids modeling that bothers me, suppose they have baby models these days, it’s more what they get them to wear and stroll around there and all…yeah suppose it could be issues I have against the fashion industry exploiting these young girls (and sometimes boys) which when put into context like that, sound even worse….

Oh well, I do have something else to add to all that, what the hell is wrong with fashion designers these days? I mean take a look at this next pile of…I mean, do you guys think this sort of thing is cute? hot? pretty? what? It honestly looks like someone plucked a peacock there and glued stuff onto a top you know? Whatever….fashion my ass.

Google bans gay Nigerian Canadians

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

I don’t get google sometimes, banning the gnc web creations  blog post because it was creative? Educational? Informative? Fresh? New? forced people to think outside the box and go ahead and grab traffic from competitors by providing better content to earn more money? What gives?

Did someone manually drop the blog post? Was it just randomly chosen, did someone report it? Maybe it will come back up naturally, all I know is id it was reported, that person better pray to god they have several lives, because they will need um! When the blackhats get a whiff of a reporting scoundrel it will be Armageddon you low life son of a bitch, or simply fucking bitch if you who reported that post happens to be a lady ;)

Shoutingzones gnc web creations blog post was second up and so it should be! Fuck those gay nigerian canadians. This will hurt you more than it will hurt me, remember that you toe sucking cunt.

Naked Sushi

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

That’s right, naked sushi, I mean really where do I come up with this crap. Ok so i didn’t not this time, what after the whale sperm trip and the sort of spam comments I got as a result i think i’ll lay off the dumb titles for a bit. I was contacted by a friend to cook up a logo, a sushi related logo, a naked sushi related logo at that! He had me slap up an Eat in China logo not too long ago, now he added to his menu and wants the logo changed.

 

What did he add to his menu? Naked women. That’s right, really hot naked women that lay on a table covered in sushi while customers at his restaurant eat off their sizzling bodies.

naked sushi models

 

Hot right? I’m definitely paying him a visit later this week, and I know what i’m going to order, naked wome…uhhh…naked sushi! :D

So anyway, the logo was not supposed to be changed all that much just have the word naked sushi added in there somewhere, he’ll only have it up till he decides on whether he’s gonna keep the naked sushi clad women on the menu or not. So here’s the logo, what do you guys think? Simple? Modernish? The fork was his idea although I wanted to go with chopsticks to make it feel more Chinese like, his restaurant is a trendy modern one so I guess it goes well with it.

Anyway if anyone is interested in naked sushi recipes, you’ll find one below;

Ingredients
  • some sushi
  • a hot female body (Asian, African American or Caucasian you’re free to choose the color)
  • 3 cups sumeshi
  • 1 cucumber
  • 4 oz cream cheese
  • 6 jalapeño peppers or a bunch of sliced jalapeños from a jar
  • a leaf of some sort, big enough to fit some sushi on top of

Cooking Directions

  1. Cook sushi rice.
  2. Cut cucumber into sticks.
  3. Slice jalapeños… but be careful! Don’t get the oils in your eyes! Discard the stem.
  4. Roll the sushi, using a few sticks of cucumber, some cream cheese, and a sliced jalepeño
  5. place sushi on leaf
  6. place leaf on the womans body
  7. If you’re really hardcore when it comes to your naked sushi smother the naked ladies body with some sushi rice and eat right off the body.

And there you have it, a naked sushi photo, a naked sushi logo, a naked sushi recipe and one very hungry dude who’s gonna get some naked sushi this week! ;)

I’m off to Ibiza

Monday, April 14th, 2008

It was great to see a lot of you guys at the fight a while back, meant a lot to me, thanks for the friendly emails I received a few days after. 2 rounds and he was out cold, I was surprised myself to say the least. Anyway I’m traveling again so I’ll catch you guys when I can, you know how to get ahold of me if you need me, YIM or email!

I’m still alive

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

You’d think I dropped off the face of the earth, you’d be partially right. After a few weeks training extra hard, and then a couple rounds with that Yugoslavian brick wall of a boxer Strahinia I took a few weeks off. Sure I won the fight in round 4 but man was it tough. For a middle weight he sure landed rock solid jabs and hooks, he was slow and I guess I figured that out in the second round when he started letting his guard down due to fatigue.

So again, i’m slightly back, I have another fight next week but i’m fairly confident i’ll win, never the less i’ll need to workout so, i’ll vanish for a while again and keep you posted. For those who want to come and watch the fight email me and i’ll send you tickets.
