Creepers..

You know what weirds me out?

People who have tinted eyeglasses.  They look SUPER shady.  I can never really see their eyes, and it actually makes them come across as slightly sleazy.  If you own a pair, please, reconsider these undeniable judgements that people are making about you.

The Polaris Music Prize goes to...

Fu**ed up.  right on.  Not my style, but kudos to the industry for recognizing a fringe-worthy band that hopefully proves the existence of artistic integrity in the mainstream music biz.

Quote from, “The Globe and Mail”

“A fist up for Fucked Up also delivers a satisfying retort to the Juno disaster of 2009, in which the formula rockers of Nickelback were exalted over all other Canadian musicians. Fucked Up is the kind of rock band that commercial rock radio is proud to ignore, and this award simply draws the battle lines a little deeper.

Feeling good, feeling pretty good

It is a late start to the morning, and JB is feelin a little under the weather.  Getting to work, I remark that a tylenol would make my morning MUCH better.  Here’s the exchange:

JB (to JC): Hey bud, do you have any tylenol, or advil or ibueprofen?

** JC is most likely humming Tom Jones or Harry Connick Jr tunes to himself, but looks up

JC:  Hmmm.    I don’t think so, I….

***He’s interrupted by a booming voice from the other side of the office.

Voice: Did someone say TYLENOL?!

***JB turns, the voice is that of the Transpo Capt, “Blue” Angus.

Blue: Come over here son! I’ve got something for ya.

***JB moseys on over to Blue.

Blue: What’s that you say you got?  Headache?  Bodyache? Digestive problem?

**Blue rifles through his desk while he’s talking, searching drawers and pulling out drugs from seemingly endless stashes.

JB: actually its my back, it feels a little tweaked, I must hav-

Blue: Back you say!! Well then, Here take these, (hands JB a bottle of Ibueprofen)

JB: Oh thanks tha—

Blue: And these! (hands him two packs of Tylenol)

JB: Ya thats great thank—

Blue: Oh and I think I’ve got some Advil here, hang on!

JB: Ah, well this looks like a good start, I should be good for—

Blue: Here!  (opens a jar and pours a handful of advil into JB’s hands)

** Jb looks at the assortment of drugs in his hands

Blue: alright! looks like your set! Now get out there! I got some work to do!

**door closes as JB walks out

**JB sits wondering what just happened, and more importantly what drug to take for his only SLIGHTY tweaked back.

The baconator struck again

I guess the price of pork has dropped to record lows, cause really there’s no other reason why every time I open a drawer or a cupboard in the kitchen my hand is left with the distinctive greasiness of bacon.

Heck, maybe he’s cut out the middle man and is raising his own pigs in his room? If so, I’d have to give him props for being a shrewd businessman.  It also may explain the smell…

R.I.P.

pbrown:

Patrick Swayze.

Of all your movies, I enjoyed Point Break the most. A great film, here is the essence of the plot;

An FBI agent goes undercover to catch a gang of bank robbers who may be surfers.

I love how the lions share of the suspicion surrounds the fact of whether or not they are surfers!! An absolute masterpiece. Patrick Swayze, you made many people crazy… with fanfare!

ps. I have an absolutely ridiculous (possibly terrible) taste in movies when you consider the fact that THIS is one of my other favourite movies…

Completely true.  Even more hilarious are the cast of surfer/criminals which include Anthony Kiedis!  **SPOILER/SURFER ALERT**  (He gets shot in the foot by an FBI agent) as depicted here:

Clearly this guy robs banks

Funk Master Flex Aka: Paul Brown

After a 22 minute conversation with the legend of Halifax: Paul Brown, it has become clear that he is living some sort of atypical lifestyle filled with funky, dance-infused throwdowns, and flex hours at work. Basically he’s become the Prince of Tides. (for lack of a better term).  Prince? Because he can pretty much do anything he wants, Tides? because he lives by the ocean and takes exotic boating trips as confirmed in previous blog posts (see below). Paul Brown: the NEW Funk Master Flex.

Clash of titans

This weekend Tottenham plays Man U for what could be top spot for Tottenham in the Premiership.  (hoping for a Chelsea loss).

What’s even more encouraging is that if this keeps up, our game in April of 2010 will probably be the most exciting soccer match I’ve ever seen. Currently the TONY BROWN SCALE OF JUBILATION (in regards to the season so far) is:

9.5 Black Sheep ales out of 10.  Solid.
