So this is where I was hit by a car 9 years ago in Newmarket, Ontario. I am shooting a short film this summer based on this incident and this video will hopefully be reshot as a scene in my film just before the accident takes place.

 I will comment later.
The City of Fredericton is reviewing its position on whether skateboarders can travel on public streets.
A bylaw that bans skateboarders from the capital’s roadways made the city the subject of national scrutiny last month after a 25-year-old skateboarder who challenged the law went to jail for non-payment of fines. Councillors are set […]

I hate cutting and pasting articles, but this is important if you’re against the RIAA suing grandmothers and children over downloading music in Canada….the worst part is that none of this money even gets back to the artists.

Say what you want about Dennis Kucinich, but the man has got some bollocks.
I’m sure nothing will come out of this, but at least he’s trying.
*note that Kucinich sites Rawstory.com in his presentation…odd that a lefty blog has been mentioned in the House of Representatives.
Watch the C-Span videos here:

So it seems that us Frederictonians will have to deal with a damp downtown tomorrow.  The parking lot across the street from my apartment has been flooded for about a week now…but it seems that the pond is expanding by the hour.  Hopefully we won’t lose power here at the apartment so I can play […]

I’m a gamer.
I do not feel guilty about it, nor do I think it’s childish. I was first introduced to video games by my mother and father when I was about 4 or 5 years old (i think). They bought me a ColecoVision console along with Frogger, Q-Bert, Mr Do! as well as […]

So today I broke personal records of epic proportions. Crabbe Mountain hosted a Mt. Everest Ski and Snowboard Challenge to raise funds for the Ski Patrol. I thought about this for a day because the flyer stated that anyone competing would have to ski 34 runs which is equivalent to Everest’s 29,029ft […]

I wonder if Japanese pop culture hails Bruce Lee as being the toughest mofo in the same manner as North Americans thinking that Chuck Norris is the top dog.  This video proves that Bruce Lee should should be crowned “meanest Mofo” on the planet.
