heavy snow fucked my wrists up

shoveling snow def isn't in my job description even though it's great exercise and i actually don't hate it.

i check the weather network everyday just to see how much less snow and how much warmer Toronto is than Montreal....

For instance...last week it was -21 with the windchill here...Toronto a balmy -6.

for all my friends reading this from back home you have no idea how much easier you have it....not only do you not have to deal with french people, cigarette death traps aka bars and clubs, insane language law police, $42 parking tickets, and an a absolute ignorance to anything that's cool...you guys get to enjoy pussy-ass TO winters with dry sidewalks and salt everywhere.

In montreal it gets too cold to use salt so instead they just dump little black pebbles all over the city in ridiculous quantity.
These pebbles end up in your shoes, socks, apartment, place of work, everywhere...they might finally disappear by July but there's really only a few month window before those pieces of crap are back ruining your life.

hopefully the Turks and Caicos location of Goodfoot will open soon and I can get the hell off this godforsaken frozen rock that we call North America. hurricane season can't possibly be worse than winter, can it?

PS...we don't sell boots so stop asking you damn frogs

pushy pigeons

my boy gabe moved to new york for a few months and has found that all the hype really boils down to the fact that everyone there is very very serious about life and trying to survive...people pay $2000 US rent for a small box with roaches and even the pigeons are pushy

leave it to me to bring disaster pretty much anywhere i go...the day that he comes to meet me his car starts making a scary noise and a mechanic tells him over the phone while we were having brunch that his rear end is NO GOOD..basically the car is shot and needs a major parts overhaul before it's safe to drive

so we drove it around for the rest of the afternoon anyways(living on the edge yo!) and tried to drive really slowly and not ever slow down..just gradually accelerate and it didn't really work out

gabe decided to just leave it with a mechanic who's name was ronnie(shirt said PETE) and I haven't heard anything since..hopefully there's a way to salvage it without buying a new rear end

i also ate vegan chicken wings at a spot called foodswings and they were phenomenal

beard

trying to grow a big bushy winter beard sucks

i hate hair on my upper lip and the rest of the hair is really itchy so i know i'll end up shaving it off in a few weeks since my shit is patchy anyways...

i hung out with a baby last night and told her not to watch tv because it will ruin her mind like it has mine so hopefully she got the message
