radmad.ca

so here i am
exploring
and working on a little project of mine

stay tuned.

pretty much
accomplished nothing more
than a follow up email today

lazy days
are my nemesis

tis okay though
more than made up for it
yesterday
canada day
the radmad way

having mistaken lust
for love in the past
she realized
that while she herself
had been loved before
she longed for the feeling of

complete
vulnurability
towards someone else

she had doubts
but her astrologer had convinced her
that he was in fact
out there

simply
can't wait



i think one day
i will put together a list of all of the movie characters
that add up
to
me

saturday sun day
swimming



stop looking at me swaaaaaan



Maybelline sent me a bunch of free mascaras
to try out before they are launched in canada
so i pulled together some crazy
hot chicks
to test em out







so
um
these little wands of black magic
er
vibrate....





that's right
press the button of beauty

and they vibrate







and
boy oh boy
radmad sure does love things
that vibrate


clicky click for a coupon off her

things that are awesome...




summer thunderstorms

watching madison try to chase lightening

cookies of any species

the sound of an ice cube exploding when you dump it in a warm drink

sliding into your skinny jeans after oh so long

doing the perfect downward dog

reconnecting with an old friend

peanut butter right outta the jar

hearing someone call your name in a crowd of strangers

an unknown neighbour who is bringing the potted plant in my windowsill back to life

when your mechanic bill is way less than anticipated

breaking in a new pair of runners

running past the volleyball courts at the beach

the chance to make your own rules instead of always having to break others'

getting a high-5 from a little kid

having a free night to make whatever plans you want

so i took edder's advice
and looked into how to obtain
a patent in canada

wholly crap
what a process
spinny

then i started reading the guide
and i realized
fuk the patent
i want to find out how to get a gig
writing content for the government of canada
web site



this shit is funny...


What can you patent?

Yes

- new kind of door lock
- apparatus for building door locks
- process for lubricating door locks
- method of making door locks
- improvements on any of these

No

- E = MC2;
- Romeo and Juliet



please note
shakespeare characters
cannot be patented




then over at the Government of Canada's
business site you can find this
positive and motivating
piece of sound business advice
copied verbatem


You've Got an Idea? So What?

In the first place, the chances that you are the first to come up with a particular innovation are somewhere between slim and none. Secondly, even if you have come up with the better mousetrap, nobody — but nobody — is going to beat a path to your door. In fact, in the course of trying to peddle your better mousetrap, you'll beat up plenty of shoe leather wearing paths to other people's doors. You'll stand a good chance of wearing out your patience and several dozen crying towels as well.

let's not forget
to say
happy father's day



to all the sugar daddies
out there

the last time i came home
and was
er
less than sobre

i wrote some asshat notes
messages
and prophetic crap
on facebook



so moving forward
i've implemented
a high tech
anti-drunk computing
security measure
on my laptop



yeah
we're talking fort knox
baby

yes yes yes

perhaps it is now time
to take my karaoke skills
to the streets



i have been inspired!

this is Miss O
my little buddy



this is my little buddy
playing in the grass
for the first time
ever



this is my little buddy
tearing out the neighbour's grass

naughty


oh the fun we will have
Miss O

this post is brought to you today
by the 23 hot degrees
that are bustin outta the sky

there is no better feeling
that stepping on the tip of a ledge
and being nothing but excited
about jumping off

i didn't realize how bored
and complacent
and frustated i had become
by letting the easy life
become okay



and that two hour daily commute
how i do not miss thee



awesome
is waking up with a to-do list
that freaks you out
and gets your creative juices flowin'
and makes you question whether
you're actually gonna get to scratch
your "done that" red pen
right through
come up with funky ad campaign idea




i'm not big on cliches
but sometimes
the grass IS greener on the other side
and today
i plan on running barefoot
right the fuk through it

.
.

.

and this post addendum
is brought to you
by my raging hormones

created some quick
and dirty
business cards
for my new consulting gig

self employment
entrepreneurialism
rocks

so i actually have an incorporated company
but it's not on zee card
until the fantastical website
is done

the name of said company
is also
trez appropriate
for my other new business
venture
in the works

but i need to tap some brains
for ideas



i'm on the prowl
for suggestions
i'm looking for a fitness
or health-related word
that starts with
the letter "R"

not only am i trying to track down
a walkman

but i think i'm also gonna hit
a crappy tire
to buy "the clapper"

i can't read in my bed
without having to get up
and out of bed
to turn the light off

til now i have been wearing
one of these



i know
pretend you don't know me

it's okay

calling all retro rats
i need to get my hands
on a walkman
so i can replay the tape cassette
my astrologer recorded my reading on

so i can reconfirm
and have it in writing
that the stars say
i should take the summer off

it's the stars man
you gots to listen to their cosmic wisdom
and celestial insights

so let me know
if you have a walkman
you are comfortable
parting with

or if you're the guy
on craigslist
that is selling the sports one
for five bucks
get back to me already

you have a buyer dude

okay
there is a lot of
crap on TV

c rap
see wrap



okay
so
except
how i met your mother
this is some funny stuff

gets a girl all giggly



mondays
for a full half hour
from eight thirty
to nine
my butt is planted
on my makeshift couch

so

don't bug me
bug
me
not
yo

oh and at commercials
i seem to find myself
doing calf
and hamstring stretches
and flipping over
to the bachelorette

c
r
a
p



oh and i am maybe
perhaps
eating a yogurt
with a large dollup
of whip cream



with a chaser
of the white
fluffy
delicious stuff
sprayed right outta
the aerosol can
classy

gosh bless being a brazen bachelorette


geez
i'm a celebrity get me out of here
just came on
but there's no way
not eva

tomorrow
will be a terribly stressful day

somewhere between
a morning run
lunch with special peeps
and an evening yoga class

i have to find a funky coffee shop
that offers

free wifi
to create an unstoppable career bio

and a kickass date square

this is tomorrow
75km along the gardner
and dvp

haven't done much cardio
in 3+ weeks

i may actually need
my heart pumped

okay kiddies
here are some pics of my teeeee rip



view from the plane
flying over chili



peeps in green shirts are the habitat team
others are peeps from the canadian embassy in argentina
who joined us one day




the building of phase one
of Olga, rogue, sebastian, sergio, alexis and priscila's
home











me and olga













placed coins
under the concrete







we signed our names
in the concrete
to leave our mark
and our love

next we painted the library
of the primary school









some kids came in
to watch
we sang our national anthem
and they sang theirs





we got to sit in
on an english class





they all wear little
white coats
we told them they look like
little doctors



each of them made a
thank you card





a family
who recently had a home built
through habitat for humanity
invited us into their home
for dinner











then there was fun time



bike ride through
the wineries of
mendoza





feast at a winery





cheers!



and then a hike
up the andes
to 3800 ft





crazy winds
almost blew us right the fuk
off
the mountain



horsies



k that's it
hope you enjoyed the pics
and the crazy
page loading time

heh

i wish
there was a cure
or a lock
or a big chain

that protected
against

drunk
texting

and this thought
is a complete
preface

to anything even
happening

yet

here
play with this
while i upload
pics

brilliant
and it's fun to have
this much time on your hands

sitting at a computer desk
at a hostel
in buenos aires
overlooking the most incredible cemetary
ever

last day
hop on a flight tonight
home in the morn
for a week long

rest



speechless

ola!

just hijacked my hotel
reservation desk
computer

arrived in mendozza today
after a 15 hour bus ride

long

it is our ¨rest and relaxation¨
weekend

anything but

today we biked through
the town
and hit three wineries

mucho wine was drank
and the ride back
was
er
crooked

tomorrow
we trek
for 8 hours
through the andies
commencing at 3000 feet

ear popping

i think monday
i may try paragliding

danger

having a blast
its amazing how close
you can become with a handful
of strangers
in such a short time

buddies

k off to learn spanish
by watching the recruit
with subtitles

ciao el amigos

at an internet cafe
up the street from our hotel
in lujan

just finished our third
6 hour day
of building
the foundation
of a house

i have blisters
on my hands
a tired lower back
and a bad hardhat tan
on my forehead

but it is so
worth it

we are building a house for a family
olga rouque and their 4 children
sergio sebastian alexis and priscilla
they currently live
in a precarious little house
with barely enough room for
one

they are so unbelievably grateful
and olga helps us out every day
she doesn´t speak a word
of english
but laugh and smiles along with all of us
anyways

life is simple here
the wine is incredible
and cheap

and yes
the beef is tasty k

tomorrow
it is to rain
so we are all volunteering in a
soup kitchen

it will be nice to have a
day of ¨rest¨

and now for some spanish
keyboarding...

ñeçªññÇ¿

ciao el amigos!!
