Friends and Music

Me and ditty had a 'poem off' tonight.....

We each had a turn picking the topic, then 5 mins to come up with a poem.

the results are in!


ahahahahahahahaa
so rad.


ROUND 1...........WRITE!


Shoulda seen it comin says:

i'm glad that we're friends, no really its neat. and when we're together its like a big treat. candy is dandy but no where near as sweet as time spent with you , did i mention its neat? so i wrote this poem , this limmerick, this syncopated compilation of verbal expression to tell you you're my bestest bud . even when you say oh god matt your face, i know friendship like ours i could never replace

Beast da le says:
a friend is someone who's always there.....when you get sick they'll hold ur hair.........they never make you feel like poo.......they buy u presents because ur coo.......but even tho this sounds ideal.....beware for phonies that claim to be real.......ive said it once and i'll say it again, my best friend is named T-pain


ROUND 2............WRITE!

Shoulda seen it comin says:
M to the U s I to the C. What the fucks this garbage you playin for me? top 40, pop stars croonin prepacked trash, i've heard djs scratch better because they had a rash . take artistic self expression , and remove its soul and you got yourself the much music. super there you go. then you gotta add a hook and loop it 20 more more times,
then you gotta add a hook and loop it 20 more more times,
then you gotta add a hook and loop it 20 more more times,
then you gotta add a hook and loop it 20 more more times,
then you gotta add a hook and loop it 20 more more times,
then you gotta add a hook and loop it 20 more more times,
it doesn't even have to mean nothin so long as it rhymes.

Beast da le says:
sing a song of what pence?? a pocket full'a who? i dont know what the fuck he means, and im bettin that neither do you...........I guess this time i'll let it slide, i mean it is a pretty old song.......he was prolly heffed up on goof balls, which is why he got it all wrong...........like who makes a pie filled with blackbirds? does anyone else think thats weird? 4 and 20 blackbirds never felt such incredible fear!! but thats the beauty of music today, it rarely makes any sense, so he can have his pie made of blackbirds that he bought with his pocket full of pence.

Dance x 3

'The Head Shot'........ More than just a shot of a head.

I was asked to take shots for Thomas Beaudoin, a model turning actor, and BF to eco-stylist, and friend of mine, Myriam Laroche....

What I thought would be an easy shoot, turned into quite the challenge. I haven't shot an actual 'head shot' before, as in with the purpose of an agency to use, and for him to get work. I've shot a million and one heads, but never for actual agency purposes...

I failed the first attempt.
le sigh, twas a tuff one for me to swallow. Communication as far as what was expected of me wasn't clear, and so the shots weren't taken with these expectations in mind.

A re-shoot was booked, and this time, I think we nailed er.

All in all, it was super fun and I'm glad I failed at first. I learned lots, and it kinda reminded me that no matter what, there's always room for more knowledge, and skill.

Here's a few I pieced together quickly...

'Do one thing everyday that scares you'

This is rather good advice.
I have been trying to follow it.
And I suggest you try to do the same.

even if its a small thing thats scary...like squishing a spider.

DO IT.

It will make it easier the next time you hafta.

I'm going to buy an asian inspired 'health mask' so i can go to work tonight....that kinda scares me....so I'll do it.

Bag Full of Women's 80's Shoulder Pads (North Vancouver)

"I have a bag full of shoulder pads that I have removed from 80's/90's clothing. I hate to have to throw them away. Maybe someone can use them for crafts or stuffing. If interested please email me with your phone number to arrange for pickup in North Vancouver. I will not meet you, pickup in North Van only."



Dear God.
This is awesome.
Love Sarah.

painted faces

Its kinda weird when you think about it for a sec....woman paint their face to make it look like they aren't as ugly as they really are.........ahaahhaha....but its also pretty cool, cuz it means that every woman is an artist.

I took some photos for Dana the other night.....she's gettin back into doin makeup....and so she should...she's a great artist.

This was my first attempt at shooting make up....

Human Pieces Of Garbage

You're an easy goin girl, who doesnt need much to be happy.....who likes laughing, and having fun, and who smiles thru bullshit.
But what you aren't is a sucker. Or a girl that lets a human piece of anal garbage walk all over you. You aren't the kind of human that would leave on holidays for a month to a tropical country, and turn the heat off before leaving...and lock your door to your room which boasts the main heat power switch. Leaving your roommate with an icebox apt to live in while it snows and reaches minus 5.....forcing her and her bff to break into your room and flick the switch on....you wouldnt do that tho. Cuz you are a decent human being, with a heart, and concern....you arent so anal that you clip your chip bags with little faggy plastic clips after they've been opened, in fear of eating slightly stale chips, while you watch the 64738392th DVD on your mossive flat screen with your ugly friends.

You wouldnt do this tho.
so its ok.

I WIN MUTHER FUCKER

yes please.

ummmmmmmmmmm
could this be any radder? A new tegan and sara shirt design........fuckin metal. fuckin rad.



I MUST HAVE.
MUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUST.

It twill be mine....oh yes, it twill be mine.

also, FYI, when the new Yeah Yeah Yeah's album drops at your local music provider.....FUCKING BUY IT!!!!
and listen for the song 'skeletons' it will blow ur mind.....i'm cleaning mine up off the floor as we speak......so fuckin good.
The whole album is solid. From start to finish. Like no filler crap, ya know? I hate that.....when bands have like 3 or 4 good tracks on an album, and the rest suck balls. Like what the hell happend? When did they decide to half ass the rest?? But that isnt what the Yeah Yeah Yeah's did at all. Each song is a joy.

yeah
yeah
yeah

I love when music makes me feel like 800000 butterflies just woke up in my stomache, and are rushing to my lungs, and making it hard to breath for a minute...and I'm smiling so wide it hurts. When a song can make me cry while smiling, its magic. But I wonder if the musicians realize how good it is...like do they get the same feeling? I pray they do. It would be unjust if they didnt.

music is so important to me its insane. sometimes I wonder what it would be like to go thru life without it. I would be so different. And you'd never see me walking down the street with my headphones in, smiling with tears in my eyes.....that I'm sure of.

gratitude.

365 days

A year ago today, I was in Sydney,AUS. wandering the city, looking for somewhere to have dinner....there were so many options it took us about 2 hrs to finally settle on some Chinese joint....it was a good choice. Everyone was so excited. Our journey had begun. No one really knew what to expect, or what the next 3 months were gonna be like. This kept a smile on my face...for pretty much the whole trip. I dont think I've ever felt so happy, and not bored. Everyday was so different from the previous....even when it felt like it was semi routine, looking back now, it wasn't. For me, a girl who hadnt been traveling before, it was so amazing. I still cant believe the opportunity that got given to me by 4 boys from LA....throw in a jabrone from New York for the helluva it, and a videographer who brought an entire suitcase of costumes and a boombox, and you got EARTH TOUR /08.

Its weird how fast a yr went by.....but even weirder that at the same time it seems so far away.....I think the latter is because I've hated it here since I got back in June........tour ruined me. lol. just in the sense that now everything I thought was cool here, is so fucking stupid, and annoying, and boring as fuck. I guess it took me 43 countries to realize mine sucks. Too many pointless rules. Too many pointless humans, and routine. Fucking routine. I will leave here soon...this is not where i see myself growing. Its stagnent........and stale. 2 really bad things to be.

I could sit here all night and relay hilarious, ridiculous, heart wrenching, and amazing stories.....but you wouldnt really get them.....unless your name was dashy, butt, brutha, isen, gary lachangeee or jabrone.......thats just it. I dont really have anyone to member with....at least I got Rach, she's a great ear....and she is actually interested in the stories....that rules...cuz there's lots....thx fert.


So as I sit in my room.....freezing cuz my super cool neat roomate who is gone for a month (phillipines) (so awesome!) decided to turn off the heat.....oh and not tell me how to operate the heat.....and as silly as I tend to be at times, I know how to work a heating system...and this one doesnt.....he prolly had it turned off while he's gone......I mean HE isnt here, why would the apt need it????

ugh, anyways, thats a whole other blog.

bottom line is this, one year ago I was given a great gift.
a gift I wont lose.
a gift I cant forget.
a gift that cant be given twice.
a gift that cant be returned.
a gift that meant the world to me. literally.

thank you HORSE the band. from the bottom of my plopp jeans......thank you.
pshhhhhh.....the word thank you is no where near good enough....'i guess thats just tour.'

so im'a shutup.

i love
i miss
i wish.


EARTH TOUR /08
lest we forget.


ahhahahaahhahahhahahaaahahaha


This was taken by the stewardess that gave us free champagne to kick off the tour....we are fresh, shaven, nervous, excited, concerned, annoyed, sober, and semi-innocent...lol, i mean that in the 'we have no idea what to expect' sense.....this is right before take off from LAX to sydney........
