And you thought THAT was dumb? Wait till you hear this!!

This weekend was jam packed with silly stuff. The best I will save for last...so skip to the end is what I'm saying basically.

Friday night was a friends birthday and we ended up going bowling to celebrate, then off to the bar. My first game was not so great...67. Ha. The second one proved to be much better...114 or something. After the white Russians were downed we headed over to a bar we don't normally bother with. Good times had by all regardless.

Now we move to Saturday night which was pretty funny in itself. I went to a Wii party? A friend that lives in a cool condo downtown Toronto decided to do this. Her brother rented out the party room in the building, got a big projection screen, and hooked up the Wii for some late night gaming. I gotta say it was pretty damn fun. Booze helps....Booze and good company.




Filipino women are fun people to hang out with I might add...

This would be the host of the bash...As you can tell alcohol did fuel this night.




In the morning I drove myself back to the hammer in a slightly hazed out state. While I was driving I had a American Beauty moment. Does anyone remember the part where the main character films a plastic bag swirling in the wind by itself? Anyways, my parking ticket decided to start dancing in the defrost heat.




It was really calming for some reason...Not that I was stressed out, but any sort of aliment was alleviated watching that thing float on its own. Yes I should have been watching the road....I'm a multi-tasker no worries.

Now, for the moment you've all been waiting for:

I don't know if there is even a real name for this, but I am going to call this skater cross for all intensive purposes. I am sure everyone knows what boarder-cross is. Quick refresh: 8 people on snowboards line up for a race to the bottom of the hill on a course that includes jumps, burms, and other obstacles. Red Bull has an event going in Quebec where people do this on ice skates down a sloping city street glazed over with ice. This is right up there with my own personally invented sport of stair riding on the old barometer of stupidity.

I cant f'ing wait to do this....Its going to be an odd combination of boarder-cross meets the running of the bulls all whacked out on Red Bull.

Myself, and three of my friends are heading down to Toronto for the qualifying rounds being held on the 26th. If we qualify we are bused out, and put up in a hotel, by Red Bull to compete in this event.

This will pretty much be the most awesome thing I have ever done if I make it into the competition. Now, there's 100 people trying out in Toronto and they only take 5 people from each city. So, I have about a 5% chance of making it. But!!! The only bloody reason why I was ever any good at hockey was my speed. I can fly. So, I am hoping don't blow a gasket and actually make the cut.

We'll see what happens...

finally, the police get the cell phone-while driving epidemic under control. however, the public has now moved on to photography-while driving; a much more artistic yet dangerous affair. who knows how many near death experiences will be captured in the future. all i know is i just bought a new photo album.
