Bliss…
I had to run off to Ontario for a bit and deal with some \’family stuff\’. It couldn\’t be more different from my usual trips back home, but that\’s what made it special. I did nothing but hang out with my dog and the living was easy.
They say a picture is worth a thousand, so i\’ll let you see that for yourself.
To navigate the gallery, just hit up one of the images and you\’ll see the Previous/Next buttons on the bottom to your right. One of these days i\’ll get around to installing a proper widget for this thing…
Until then, please enjoy!
Stuff that matters:
Please spread this post like it\’s herpes!
The one planet project. Check it out and educate yourself. Learning is important.
The Brian Gillman family This one is a little closer to home for me. I didn\’t know Brian so much as I knew of him. He is however a dear friend of Barry. Barry being the founder of Anatometal, (where Brian also worked) is someone that I not only love/adore and respect but I also consider him one amazing friend as well. The one thing I love about modified culture is loyalty and Barry has certainly earned it. So that being said, my heart hurts. Not only for Barry, for Brian\’s family that was left behind including his two young children Indigo & Violet. I knew the soul sucking heartache that I had when I found out about Jason, it was the first time that I had ever had to bury a friend and it rocked me to the core of a soul I didn\’t even know that I had. I can not imagine having to go through such a traumatic loss as a child. Barry has set up an account for Brian\’s children. Anatometal will match every single donation dollar for dollar.
Which I think is amazing.
When I get paid, i\’ll be doing my part and making a donation on behalf of myself and NAYOP as well. I can\’t do much, but I can at the very least do this. If you work in the modification industry and want to help out, here\’s a flier that you can download and print out to be posted in your establishment:

On a final note of things that are important: The school that I work at, along with my company Stuff by Chef Steph (along with countless others) are supporting together is amazing. As I posted on my facebook page: \”One thing I\’ve noticed is how generous people are around Christmas when it comes to helping the less fortunate. What about now? Food banks are running on empty and as a Chef, I can\’t let anyone starve. It goes against everything I stand for. It could be you who needs these services someday. Think about it!\” The bottom line is this: someday you could be low on tangible income, unable to feed yourself or your family. It can happen to anyone, at anytime. If this was you and you needed these services, you would be pretty damn grateful for the kindness of others. Also? It\’s a really easy way to give back to your community. Caroline wanted to point out this: At the bottom of the page, there is a video, for every view, Shaw will Donate 1$ and Campbell\’s Canada will donate 1 pound of food to local Food Banks, up to $250,000 and 250,000 pounds.
So get off your ass and do something good for someone, somewhere. Pay it forward day should be everyday.
Snippets and other misc. shit
I\’m sick. Sick as in I want to crawl into bed and stay there because my head is so fucking congested right now and the back of my throat is so seriously itchy I am thinking about sticking a fork down my throat so I can scratch it. Thankfully I could in fact do that, I have no gag reflex. At least not in the traditional sense.
That however is a story best saved for another day.
How did I get sick? My little \’boyfriend\’ (AKA favorite baby at work, not my actual boyfriend) KG sneezed. In. My. Mouth. Last week he was all sick and cranky and he just loves me so of course I pick him up and try to comfort him and that was the thanks I got in return. I\’ve been fighting it all week, but of course today it hits me like a fucking Mac truck and I feel like ass.
Magical!
So anyway, today being good Friday and all, work was a lot more lax. So much in fact that I didn\’t have much to do and left before 2pm. That almost never happens as while handy, that\’s going to hurt come payday… Anyway instead of doing something useful like cleaning my office or working on my new cake website because that just takes far too much effort… So I come on here to bitch and whine about being sick and other random nonsense that spews forth in my mind.
So today, I stumbled upon the following (in no particular order):
- Christians NAILED to crosses in gruesome Good Friday re-enactment of Jesus\’s death in the Philippines Seriously? WTF is wrong with you people! Granted my thoughts on religion, particularly the Catholic edition aren\’t exactly a secret. As a member of the modification community, it\’s not so much the act of what they\’re doing that appalls me the most per se, it\’s more so the conditions under which these acts are preformed. Sterilization, or lack thereof, internal injuries and a bunch of other stuff that makes me shudder inwardly. Also it\’s 2012, there\’s a thing on the market called no more nails!

Yeah I know it\’s blasphemous and I don\’t give a shit… I\’m going to hell in every religion anyway and that happened loooooooooooooong before this post happened.
