RANDOM THOUGHTS FROM A BORDER-LINE ADHD PERSONALITY...


a. sooo the oscars are on tonight, and despite almost being cancelled due to the catastrophic writers strike that had impeded hollywood-land and all it's happenings, the show will go on!!

little lesbian ellen page, who just happens to be a hali-grown native, is up for best actress for her role as a pregnant teen-ster in the fabulously lovable comedy "Juno"...i and the rest of nova scotia are crossing our fingers for you mizz page; clean the floor with those pretentious hollywood bitches!!!

b. saw a fantastic (and free) concert last night; Canadian rockers/blue grass/crooners/country stars "blue rodeo" graced the stage of the metro center last night in halifax: and fuckin' rocked the shit outta the place, might i add! those guys may be pusing 60 but they still know how to put on a bitchin' show! it was the second time i saw them live in my dear ol' city of origin, and like the first time you have sex, were even better the second time around!!

the fabulous and lovely miss laura had been given tickets that her aunt had won over the radio, and decided to invite lil' ol' me along for the ride! something about a free concert, that makes it so much more enjoyable; maybe it's the lack of "pressure to have a good time" when you didn't pay anything to walk through the doors? hmmm...

c. my lover, and future roommate miss carolyn power leaves for the UK tomorrow...and i'm a little upset that i'm (myself and jet, that is) aren't leaving at the same time; for those of you who aren't aware, carol (as i sometimes call her) and i met in the far, faraway land of Fort Kent while studying to become teachers. we fell in love, slept together a few times, and have remained very close friends! (well, it went something like that...) and we are now moving to jolly ol' England together for work and other sorts of debauchery!

as much as i'd love to leave now instead of waiting another month, i know that it's much more feasible for me to be waiting; more time to work and thus save money to move with, and i'll be separated for less time from my dear jet...(who'll be joining me in the UK a few more months!)

d. why is it that when on the bus in halifax (aka the peasant wagon) we willingly give up our seats for fat people...excuse me, "overweight" people???? by allotting them special treatment (such as giving them our seats on the bus) aren't we encouraging them to continue to overeat??? we're basically reassuring them; go ahead and have that double extra carcus burger...don't worry, you may get fat, but at least you'll be treated better and pitied as a reward for your shitty eating habits... the only people who should have seats given up for them are those with small children, and those who suffer from a physical disability...not heffers who can't stop themselves from shoving junk down their throats!

e. i'm so compltely into amy winehouse's music these days, it's crazy!!!! at first i thought she was just kinda scary...but then i gave her music a chance and let me tell you; WOW!! she's fuckin' phenomenal!!!! i urge you all to seek out her music and obsess away!

there's nobody out there in the music industry today who has is doing what she's doing; she truly is a breath of fresh air...a somewhat 'troubled' breath, but a breath nonetheless! she's kinda "big band-ish", with a soulful and loungy feel to her voice...her '60's beehive hairdo is a throwback to the days of yore, that her voice complements perfectly.

favorites of mine include "valerie" featuring mark ronson, "back to black", and "love is a losing game".

LOOKING AROUND...

as i sit here, a mere month (give or take) away from my date of departure, there's a lot going through my mind...how will i live without my jet for 4 months, how will i adjust to a foreign land, will i make friends, will i find a hot brit to call my own (snicker, snicker)...

then my mind wonders to larger, more pressing issues; will they like me, will i fit in, will i be able to live comfortably, will i love my schools, will i get hopelessly lost on the underground and have to call carolyn to come pick me up??!?! haha! k, the last one isn't totally a justifiably-worry!!

moving from the place that you've called "home" for oh so long is never going to be easy...there will always be feelings of melancholy, and a desire for the familiar...picking up and moving somewhere different is bound to be scary...but odly i'm not feeling plagued by these feelings of fear and uncertainty...i'm fuckin' stoked!!

the good thing is that i'm not going at it alone...plus i've done it before! and if i can do it, and 'do' the only other gay guy in a small town in northern maine...then i can do ANYTHING!!

as i look around the little town that has housed me and my lil' family for so many years, i'm suddenly struck with the oh so many things i'll miss about this silly little town; i'll miss the late night walks i've had in clayton park through it's winding and undiscovered pathways, i'll miss the summer's spent walking along halifax's boardwalk, i'll miss my hang-over days spent at the pool with my big shades covering up my dark circles, i'll miss being able to skinny-dip in said pool...after dark, of course...i'll miss our little day trips to the beach, pooches in tow!! i'll miss halifax's assortment of drinking establishments, i'll miss spring garden rd and it's many shops and beautiful people, and most of all i'll miss my friends...

but one thing is for certain, that as much as i'm giving up by leaving halifax again, i'm also gaining a whole lot more this time around...i'm not going to shittsville USA, i'm going to the most exciting city in the freakin' world!!!!

take that fort kent, maine!!

WINTER VOYEURISM

so big brother started again last night, and i'm more addicted ALREADY than ever!!!

i decided to include a pic of the two gay 'eye candy' boys who are part of this season, for all your viewing pleasures!!

the idea behind this season is that all players took a 'love quiz' before the show started, and are paired in the house with their potential "soulmate"; they'll be sleeping in the same bed as their soulmate, competing with them, voting with them, and even be up for eviction with them!!!! can you say, trouuuuuble!!!!!

it's certainly a new spin on an old idea and it's gonna get juicy!!!! included amongst the contestants are the two fabulous gay men (who i'm totally hot for), a recently broken-up couple, a real-life couple (who are pretending to not even know eachother), a cougar, a paparrazzo, a bikini barista, and many more!!!

it should certainly be a good season, stay tuned!!!

BE KIND...

so today in the lunch room somebody "confronted" me on my specific values by which i live my life, specifically on my eating habit values; basically i was put-down and almost ridiculed for choosing not to eat meat. even more reduntant was the fact that "she" basically told me that i was going to be shit out of luck when it came to finding appropriate "vegetarian fare" when i moved to the UK, and that i would have to rely on 'care packages' delivered from canada for survival...

well to quote my future people, that's a pile of bollocks!!!

you know what, i'm pretty fuckin' tired of people practically making fun of me for choosing a 'animal-loving' way of living, that not to mention is also for health reasons. now don't get me wrong, i have no problem answering questions from meat-eaters who approach the issue with the inevitable "omg, you're a vegetarian...like what do you eat??? how do you survive??" since they're bound to come up. but why would someone go out of their way to basically put my lifestyle decision down and make it seem inferior to their own...it's fuckin' retarded people, so mind your own business!!

not once have i ever made fun of people for eating carcus in front of me, and not once would i preach about the dangers/polluting factors involved with eating meat, to someone who didn't ponder it to me...i have no problem defending my position on the issue and i certainly don't mind educating those who are eager to understand why i'm a vegetarian (i think it's mean, unnecessary and unhealthy...to name a few...)

i do not wish to instill my values and beliefs upon others who aren't interesting in learning what i have to tell them...i believe that choosing a vegetarian lifestyle is something that you have to do for yourself...so on that note don't harp on me or throw meat-eating defences down my throat...cause i don't fuckin' buy it...

why would someone even say something so detrimental to me?? i'm sorry, but you don't live in england, nor have you ever even been there...how do you pretend to know what they may or may not have in their grocery stores/markets??? how do you know that they don't have the widest assortment of veggie food available in all of europe??? in fact, a little fyi for you; maybe you weren't aware of the fact that the UK founded the worlds first "vegan organization" giving support and spreading knowledge as to the benefits of choosing such a lifestyle...so don't tell me that i won't find the necessary nourishment i need there, cause they fuckin' founded it!!!!!!

DIRTY PRETTY THINGS



i love this photo of the world's naughtiest threesome, out on the town, dressed to the nine's...and totally fucked up!!!

for those of you at a loss for words as to when and where this little "strategically-planned-photo-op" took place; this was just around the time that britney's (continual) downfall was starting to snowball at drastic speeds! it was just around the time that she ended her "temporary insanity" induced marriage to k-what's his fuck, and was rejoining the club-crowd and making up for lost time...

i guess from this perspective, we have no one to blame but dear sweet innocent paris, right?? there's a battle you're sure to lose!!

everytime i look at this pic taken of the 3 troublemakers in the car together, i can't help but wonder; how fucked up were they????? haha!! seriously though, can you imagine being a fly on the wall in that car?? or better yet, can you picture being an invite to the fuckin' party???

nicole richie gave readers a front-row seat in the retellings of her troubled, drug-fueled past in her tell-all book "the truth about diamonds", but i have always wondered if there was more to the story...

i guess being as huge a media-whore as i am, i can't help but want to know the WHOLE story...right down to every snort...

well one thing's for sure, these girls sure know how to party, and certainly have the hook-ups to make it happen!! i wonder what a night on the town with them might have actually been like??

probably best left a mystery though, eh?

PHEROMONES IN HAIR GEL???


did you know that "got2b" hair products have just come out with a product that is apparently infused with pheromones???

if you're anything like me, you may need a basic refreshment as to what a "pheromone" actually is before this conversation can continue: a pheromone is a chemical that is naturally produced by our bodies that causes a physiological reaction to occur in other people.

studies have shown that we as human beings at our most primal and natural states are simply animals reacting to each other's scents...these scents namely referred to as "pheromones".

my ponderance upon reading this ad was how exactly does a company "infuse" pheromones into a hair gel?? and if such a feat was to be accomplished, what kind of "reaction" or "stimulation" to our senses will this product infer?

the ad shows a very GQ lookinkg man obviously using the company's said product, surrounded by a mass of gorgeous looking ladies...hence invoking the idea that wearing this product will enhance your sexual prowess to the opposite sex...or in my case the same sex...*wink, wink*

well if you ask me, note: i'm an eternal optimist, this product is either the most genius creation of man up to date...or simply a pile of hooey...

therefore to solve this debate, i urge you all to go out and purchase "got2b's pheromone infused hair gel" and report directly back to me with your results...

discuss.
