:)

weeeeeee! this is fun?

The last 4 days can only be likened to that of a rollarcoaster.
Unpredictable, exciting, funny, filled with ups, downs, arounds and backs.

April 1st.
I once again procrastinate to the last min, and pack my entire life after work on March 31.....I got off at midnight. Groan.
I slept maybe 3 hrs. Packed all night long....'all night...all night...all night lonnnnnnnnnnnnng' (lionel ritchie)
of course I have to work on the 1st, lucky for me Danes helped me move my stuffs..after work...in the rain.....and freezing cold.....did I mention rain? In her honda civic......
it was funny tho...cuz we had to slide my huge, luxury, dbl padded for his and her pleasure mattress on top of her car....no rope...no nuttin....just water, car, and matress..
it didnt budge.
but it was soaking wet.
its dry now.

I also recieved a text that night.
An important one.
Not the kind that you read and know you aren't gonna respond to cuz....well, you just aren't....NO. this text was like being tossed a life preserver after you got wasted and fell off the cruise ship....

'Plopp!! This isnt a april fools, we need you to come here soon to do our press photos, we will pay for your ticket, and give you some money too!!'

'we' being HORSE, and 'here' being LA.

So last week of April I will be going to LA.
PLUS Gary is coming.
PLUS I will not be in Vancouver.
PLUS I'm really stoked.
PLUS I'll get to shoot the boys with my bee light, that actually works.

So after getting that text, there were so many PLUS' I forgot about all the prior minus'....

oh ya,
last night I made up a really great word. 'Reotard'. Basically its what you call a retard in a leotard.

as you can see in subject A.


Me and a pal are gonna make a super sonic rock sensation band....and we'll be 'the REOTARdS'
its a really good idea.


oh, and for the luvva gawd.....check out more videos with the title 'Stairway to Stardom' You can't lose....trust me. If you feel horrible, watch it. You will quickly thank your lucky stars you arent 1/4 mutant, 1/4 retarded, 1/4 inbred, and 1/4 talentless...

so rad.

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.
