shaking the beast

um, these stacked chairs were hilarious to me at the time i have ten pictures of them, not as funny now, i think i was being EXISTENTIAL.

bahahaha

just can’t get over them.

nug! awesome host!

i am sad my name wasn’t chosen, i didn’t even have adrenaline butterflies cos i was so tired, maybe next time. i wrote on my ballot that my nickname was rinky ren (is) favourite colour is red, hobbies are picking my nose and secretly eating it, tantric sleep and candle making. also yeti or bigfoot, fil told me to put sasquatch cos they’re all the same thing. SMRT.

i was dressed like dennis the menace and sass was dressed like this, she gave me one of her hoodies to wear in case i went on stage i was just not feelin’ comfortable, don’t wear stripes when you’re bloated.

then natalie came over for a nightcap so cid could hump attack her fur hat.

i didn’t know it was under there i just thought he was smelling the scent of her dogs off her boots.

i hung around my dad’s for band nite, this is a rare dvd called let it be, footage of whatever the fuck it’s all the same by now right? good luck finding a copy.

merkley???: what do you call two cowboys peeing on each other?

me: what

merkley???: brokeback fountain
i made that up
dont forget to tip your waitress

me: very good
i remembered your txt u sent yourself not too long ago the other nite when i was sitting in the car
how the term white supremacist is redundant
too bad that one cant be shared

merkley???: i have been quoted a few times on the internet with that one
one was a harvard professor quoting me
which is scary

me: yikes
any flack for it?

merkley???: no, its not a supremacist statement
you are taking it wrong
it’s actually anti white supremacist in a way

me: um there is only one way to take it

merkley???: whites already have power
no need to seek it further

me: yeah but people get their backs up a bit when you state that

merkley???: white people

me: non-white people as well
i just see it as an arrogant statement
but it’s funny that you texted it to yourself

merkley???: yeah well you are very pc

me: pfffft

merkley???: yeah i texted that brokeback fountain joke to myself last night too

me: whites get angry about it cos they are afraid of the repercussions

merkley???: otherwise i would have forgotten it

me: can i blog this anyway

merkley???: i only talk to you to get blogged
haha

me: hahahahha yeah who doesn’t

The 2008 Weblog Awards
click to vote for me please thank you

me: its up

merkley???: i’m so excited to read it again
so fun to relive the recent past
me: ha
you are the opposite of obnoxious

merkley???: you kinda misquoted me in your memory — the quote was “my main problem with the term “white power” is my distaste for redundancy”
white POWER not supremacy — big difference

me: oh whoops
well, power is more offensive i think

merkley???: yeah but like it or not, whites have power — supremacy is another qualitative subject.

me: zzzzz

merkley???: anyay tack that last bit with my actual quote onto the end

me: fine

hiii hii hihiiihihi

so the thing on my shoulder is a keyloid (sp?) cyst pretty much, i have to go back for a biopsy, then they will laser the fuck out of it on seperate occasions. what do i want gigantic embarrassing red thing or cool scar. i’m goin’ for cool scar. i’m writing on my old laptop from my dad’s it’s sooooooooo sloooooow i have a pile of emails to go through and it’s way irritating having to do it in slow motion. i thought ok i ‘ll just have myself a little break from the ole internet today but like some stupid metaphor i can’t even think of right now it pulled me in. i killed some time in the biodome mall reading my book on a plush couch while a blonde clone of several other blonde clones talked incessantly on a cellphone right beside my head. i bought a new hat with the remainder of my gift card, i look like one or all of the seven dwarves in it. there’s a ridiculous new shoe store the size of the old supermarket in this mall, like an outlet for every insane name brand fashion foot apparel you could ever think of um is there spell check on this thing or am i just on a roll cos i see no red underline squiggly things.

ok back to business, dooce is gaining on me, don’t let her!

love you guys.

thanks for all the voting and support and well wishes, such pals.

did i say we went to sketch comedy at the riv last nite? i put my name to be part of the game show but it wasn’t drawn, i won an uncie herb simspons doll for having a gap between my teeth though then i looked in the mirror and realised it’s practically closed now. my mom’s did that too.

ok bye for real now

JESUS!

IT’S CLOSE! ASPLODE! ASPLODE! please keep trying i know it keeps crapping out i s’pose the server is overloaded or some other shit nerd excuse but anyway don’t give up on my babies i greatly appreciate your help.

i saw hootie tonite that was the big retarded secret. tomorrow i get my botfly cut out of my shoulder, maybe, if it’s covered, if it’s not, i just go home and blog some more. meh.

oh and guess the fuck what when i bought these shoes i told the guy hey i’m on my way down to the guy shoes dept i’ll brb do NOT throw out all that tissue paper there’s blue shoelaces in there! he says ok don’t worry i got this. apparently not my friends, cos i only have one blue shoelace over here.

STEAMED!

26 reasons why i am the breast

A – Archives dude, check ‘em. i’m a goddamn pioneer and i bet if i was a yank i’d have a career somewhat as fabulous as kathy griffin’s by now. moreover, i haven’t given up on you yet.

B – BLOG. i let you in, guys. do i have to? no. should i? perhaps. a friend recently commented that the blog is dead and i instantly reacted a little defensively but then we talked it over for a few and i guess i see her point. the blog for YOU is dead, for me, isn’t. get it? thanks to me (and sorry for that) tons of little slags are out there sayin’ it like it is cos they think raymi did/does it they can/should too…was basically the gist of our booze-fueled chat.

C – Concise. i keeps it clean yo, no verbal diarrhea here. except for when there is a 78 word run-on sentence. point being, i know when/how to dumb it down.

D – dick jokes? i like that i say all i ever blog about are dick jokes and pictures of my stupid outfits yet where are these dick jokes? i use dick jokes as a description of my blog to strangers, it’s supposed to stand for more than what it is. alas, being more professional is one of my ’09 resolutions so i’ll have to come up with something new.

E – existential as in, there will be absolutely NONE of that here so piss off.

F – FUCK. most frequently used, favourite and most loathed word and reason why this guy is nsfw likely aside from the alleged pornography your mawfuckn’ IT dept. sums this shit up as and blocks.

G – goal setting. none of that here either to your benefit.

H – Hats. i like them and wear them (not far-reaching at all now).

I – Ignore – if you are a crazy fuck i will ignore you so give up.

J – Jew jokes – got any good ones? kidding. J is actually simply for ‘jokes’ cos a sense of humour is the only way i can protect myself from the crushing weight of the sadness of the world. seriously now, depression = comedian. if i had the nards i’d do stand-up.

K – Ketamine. one time after a nite of drinking in england i snorted some then when i got out of bed my legs were paralyzed for 3 minutes, i fell to the floor and rug-burned my knees. oh wait i meant to say i have a painting of kites available for sale that i will probably paint over.

L – lauren. that’s my real name, but my parents decided to pronounce it all funny on me without changing the spelling so my entire life i have been irritated by my own fucking name, grand. it was super popular in the 80s though i didn’t know one lauren in school. then when i spent a stretch in oakvegas i met tons of laurens, all blonds too, retarded.

M – moronic. sometimes i can be this way and not give a giant fuck, also a defense mechanism in the self-loathing department. you should try it sometime, rest those nerves of yours. honestly, no one cares what you think or what i think or what any of this means in the grand scheme of things, which is why you should just blog and get over yourself.

N – nose. i got a big one and have been teased for it for forever and i’m over it, only on the internet do people really go to town about it, in real life no one even notices or cares. i guess when you run out of real things to rip someone apart on you attack their looks. i know i have a nice unique face, interesting beauty. so basically, shut the fuck up you scallywag, let’s have a go at your appearance? in school i was called big nose all the time, oh man all the time and you know who called me big nose? the dumb kids, the simpletons, the ones who have amounted to shit all, the equivalent to online trolls. empty vessels make the most noise, true and true and true.

O – Oprah. i have made a point to not watch oprah, i’m at home “telecommuting” (really i am) and i feel extremely depressed for myself if i turn any of that daytime tv crap on, especially oprah. sidenote: oprah is only allowed if someone is over watching it with you. i told myself that at 4 o’clock i have to be doing something, anything, other than watching oprah. sometimes you think oh i feel blue today i’ll console myself with oprah. more like NOprah don’t do it! you will guaranteed feel 60% more depressed for watching it.

P – phil. i love phil and you have gotten a gander at his life on top of mine thanks to this glob. here’s a thing though, we’re not a two-fer, stop thinking you know us more than you do, nah’mean, cos you don’t and just cos you got the one guy (me) doesn’t necessarily mean you get the other. it isn’t a rule that you have to add him to your facebook, it’s annoying in fact. fuck off my boyfriend you know? just because someone is accessible online doesn’t mean you should scramble on after them. that being said, phil is also the breast.

Q – Queefs. i wrote this when i was 17 and i still get funny emails about it the best one ever though was a mom searching online for trumpet sheet music and she told me off thanking god her son hadn’t found it. i was like, do you email every single porn site you accidentally stumble upon?

R – raymi. this word came to me when i was 14 and decided i was going to write a story entitled THE LAST MINX and it was very similar to girl interrupted (before that movie came out or i ever knew of its existence)(which then for me of course became a self-fulfilling prophecy anyway) and i needed an interesting name for the girl and out of nowhere raymi was it after listing a bunch of stupid emo names like lark or sage or something, i had no idea raymi was also some festival of the sun thing (those guys must be lovin’ me on the internet eh takin’ all their traffic away). the first time i put it all together was when i wrote to vice a letter (additional bj tips and they printed it) it blew me away to see Raymi The Minx, Toronto – so off i went to town in their forums and the rest is history.

ok i need to take a break here now, i’ll leave the rest up to you. have fun.

Who I’m is?

first off the bat, can you say no to this face? you know what to do. the polls are actin’ bit funky slow from all the traffic i imagine so give’r a few secs to load, i really do appreciate it, really, for real.

the sake wasn’t hot enough. my only complaint.

i don’t remember the name of the place we had dinner last nite, it was on dundas east of mccaul, south side, not bad not bad. my glass ring slipped off my finger in the john and smashed into many, many pieces. can’t say i didn’t see it coming, steph be careful with yours. maybe avoid washing your hands altogether.

it appears to be matt is dangerously close to flippin’ me the bird here.

beef sashimi, hella cold, complaint two actually.

dynamite v nice. who invents these names and how do they travel ‘cross the board?

the boys went with chirachi, which is sashimi on rice and by the time you get to it you’re through with fish yet are greeted with nice fishy rice. burn.

me being the smart guy went with the sashimi box, more food, buck cheaper. <-- takes japanese bow.

someone’s hair had its shit together last nite.

heyyo! narco! clap clap!

then we had girl movie nite and all mourned the weed days of yore, sigh. i cannot WAIT to get a new couch you can see the backrest all buckled from my hours spent with wet hair drawing pictures of myself with wet hair in a towel in the dark.

and now i will paint.

one more nag for the road, please go vote for aunt raymi. thank you and my feelings wouldn’t be hurt if you told people on your own blogs to also vote for me.

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA! so cute! these are the only kids i like.
