ear piercing gong show

(by the way my temporary new favorite word is gong show.)

so tonight i tried to put my earring back in and lo and behold my piercing had closed up.
i thought meh i'll just put the needle through again easy peasy.
NOPE! most frustrating and painful 30 minutes of my life.
i did get the job done but not without some mental trauma and about three holes in my ear lobe..

i'm mad! hulk smash!

the aftermath.. the garbage can will puzzle both my parents as to how i could possibly be menstruating.
i covered the gore for sake of the readers
CIMG0753
at one point blood was streaming from my ear and all i could say to myself in the mirror was "well this can't be a good thing."


props to anyone who has had to do this. i put it up there along side kick to the balls and punch to the face.

i'm still waiting for the go ahead from via so be patient! i do have a lil somethin somethin ready and i like it a lot it's a pretty obvious one to anyone who lives here though.

FREE WINDRUNNERS free corprate branding...

i know a few people that would kill for some free windrunner action

Nike Windrunner Ride L.A. from Veesh on Vimeo.

but this is clearly a blatant attempt at branding all the L.A scenesters . so i don't care for this at all this ones for you brian.

i thought this was a cool idea. so i'll be taking part for fun of course. due to the fact that north burnaby is not in vancouver obviously . and i don't post for via.

HOOD WARS is a challenge to our contributors(of vancouver is awesome) to tell us what makes their neighborhood the most awesomest, and the rules are (as always) quite simple:
- COMMIT TO GATHERING THE TOP 10 THINGS ABOUT YOUR HOOD THAT MAKE IT THE MOST AWESOME.
- MAKE 10 DIFFERENT POSTS OVER 10 WEEKS NAMED “HOOD WARS - [THE NAME OF YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD] #1″ and then #2, #3, #4, etc.
- DON’T TALK SHIT ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE’S HOODS IN YOUR POSTS. YOUR HOOD’S AWESOMENESS MUST NOT DEPEND ON YOUR PERCEIVED UN-AWESOMENESS OF ANOTHER HOOD BUT STRICTLY ON THE UNABASHED, RAW FORM OF AWESOME THAT IS YOUR OWN.
- IN THE END ALL OF THE CONTRIBUTORS WILL VOTE ON THE WINNER. THE PERSON (OR PERSONS! EAST VAN CAN BE COVERED BY MORE THAN ONE CONTRIBUTOR) WHO PRESENTS THE BEST 10 POSTS THAT CONVINCE US THAT THEIR HOOD REIGNS MOST AWESOME WILL TAKE HOME A PRIZE PACK VALUED AT $200. THERE WILL ALSO BE RUNNER UP PRIZES WORTH A BUNCH. BUT THE GREATEST REWARD SHOULD BE PRESENTING YOUR HOOD IN IT’S FINEST FORM TO THE REST OF THE CITY!


stay tuned for my reasons why NORTH BURN RADNESS!

lazy

so lazy right now. for the past two days straight i haven't worked or done anything besides play video games and ride my bike. this is me enjoying summer: wake up eat cereal drink a v8 and play video games, then followed by an afternoon shower. shower is either followed by a bike ride and trick sesh or more video games. then a late'ish afternoon nap around 4:30 . wake up at 5 or 6 snack then either ride my bike or watch tv then dinner at 7. i can honestly say this is the life. alas lazy days cannot go on forever.
the real world beckons.

it's time to get the gears grinding and the wheel spinning. i have a lot of work in the upcoming week, 6 days in fact.
besides work i need to get a few chores done. so i'll try to get back to my true "note booking" form and write down all my to-do's.
and to keep me accountable here is a short list of things i need to get done soon:



- clean room (before chuudoo gets back!)
- finish application
- finish bike
- owe brian $15
- jono's summer camp $150
- find new job
- sell stuff on craig
- garage sale?
- recycle bike parts to ocb
- prepare fish tank for fish!
- save $200 a month for hoko trip
- finish my books then buy more books for winter.

"A schoolgirl whose head was run over by a car miraculously walked away from the accident with only cuts and bruises.
Savannah Haworth was riding home after passing her cycling proficiency test when she lost her balance and fell into the path of a car.

The vehicle ran over her arm, shoulder and head but, amazingly, the 11-year-old escaped with just cuts and bruises."
