grandma's and their grandchildren

life

a series of moments

experiences to feel

lessons to be learned

precious

fragile

unpredictable

unforgiving

and

temporary

...

life is now

or else

because

tomorrow is nothing more

than a promise insincerely whispered

by our expectations

boombotty

if you see this man

look away

pride

i've done things i'm not proud of

and some of

what i am proud of

is disgusting

roast beast with sweet potatos

yummy

satisfied

the day i stop breathing
i'll be satisfied

the amazing race - dvd game night

it's a fun game with trivia and challenges

my fav is when they do 30 sec clips from the show

and you have to recall random details

it's also fun cause i won

(i'm always getting my ass kicked at crazy eights)

the VITAMAN guinea pig

she usually brings something that smells nice

but last time

it's this vitaman stuff - it's new she says

tell me what you think

now i'm not so sure i'm the right kinda guy

to be testing this stuff

it's more for the high maintenance self absorbed product monkey

but

she asked nice

so i hooked up the shave creme with my face - it wasn't creamy at all - more like a lotion - kinda strange feeling - no lather

which is kinda good because i didn't slather it all over my face and get it in my ears like i do with the fun foamy shit

despite a new blade in the mach 3 - the first pull was an attention grabber and i'm thinking right away "i don't like this very much"

but then

before that first stroke was done the lotion slipped inbetween the blades and it got real smooth and the odd texture/lack of foam was no longer an issue - it works nice and smells real clean - there's nothing wrong with it

the real winner however is the aftershave balm

right away it smells like the right thing to do - fruity but not "frou frou" and wet like cool rain

then i put it on my face - good lord yes - involuntary pleasure noises escape my lips - my eyes close - head goes back - and i massage it - and i don't want to stop

fresh cool wet soothing cleansing

i went back for more but the little sampler tube was empty dammit

later at work i asked one of the gurls who has touched me intimately many times to "feel my face"

it wasn't what she said - which was "what!?" followed by "mmmmm - that's REALLY smooth" - it was how she said it and the sexy lingering look that followed

goddamn

VITAMAN - get yours at The Bay baybee

tell them swinghammer sent you

who do that fondu for you?

who do that fondu on asu - we do that fondu on asu - do you

hands down the banana in the chocolate was the yummiest

we got marshmallows and teddy grahams to make a smore like thing (that was good too) but eventually it turned into a "lets use the candle to roast marshmallows" type situation

breanna: in the same paper twice

on the front page no less

that's my little girl kicking that boy's ass down the hill

happy birthday baybee

plague of madness

only the filthy and fermented will survive this dirty trip he said

the dumb will die and the ignorant will live forever

but

when the music finally stops

we will

meet again

dancing nude on the moon

howling at the sun

downtown...again

lately

the only people spending more time downtown than sweet jimmy

are the whores pimps and dealers

-

ever get the feeling you're being followed?

it's happened before

-

in the background you see the downtown toronto Bay store

on the wall you see ad's for euphoria - my new favorite perfume

essences of black orchid - very very sexy yummy

in the red car

behind my igloo on wheels

is my fiend the fragrance department manager from The Bay in barrie

- also yummy -

she's the reason i smell so good

we got wind of this movie - pun intended - sorry

- playing at select theatres only -

based on the book "perfume"

one of kurt kobain's favorite books - inspired the nirvana song "scentless apprentice"

very ambitious

to create a movie that depends on visual and auditory stimulus to convey a story about the intricacies and mysterious power of scent

sexy, enthralling, repulsive, beautiful, edifying and at times visually stunning

pig in the city

the purple pig is always at the waterfront ribfest in oshawa - i found the restaraunt quite by accident - pulled pork mmmmmmmmmmmm

cumming soon!!!

i am so proud

watching you grow

your observations
your insight
your mistakes
your victories great and small

the things we do
the things we've done
opportunities we share
our conversations

i cherish everything that is you

the friend
the student
the daughter
the cousin
the babysitter
the grandchild
the lover of pets music and msn

the stylish teenager
the special peaceful compassionate soul

the gurl i've known for 13 years
is not so much my little gurl anymore
but every bit my little gurl just the same

so independent now

-sweet jimmy swinghammer-

it's a little bit outlaw

in here...

chernobyl sunset

take yer mason drinkin jar out of the freezer

pour it a quarter full with the cheapest chilled russian vodka you can get comrade

fill to 3/4 full with orange juice

add maraschino cherries

-

at least one for every gurl in the room

and a couple more for good measure

-

then add chino cherry juice

till the jar is not quite full

add ice or don't

stir it up

admire the glowing sunset colours swirling round n round

-

it looks like a sunset tonight

feels like a disaster tomorrow

have you...

have you...

forsaken what is right,

for what is easy?

goddamn snake

i'm not afraid of snakes - afraid is entirely the wrong word

-

but i don't like them

and this one doesn't like me

-

"i don't love my kids that much" she says in reference to the snake as a christmas present for breanna - and i laugh - and she says - more sreious this time - "no really, i don't love my kids that much"

-

i thought i loved my daughter that much - but i'm starting to wonder

this crazy serpent futher mucker really doesn't like me

we have issuessssssssss

the mushrooms - they're on fire

sopranos

season one episode one and two

make no mistake

-

a true work of art

immediate pop culture classic

the symbolism
the story
the powerful imagery
the dialogue

the music

shadows and darkness
the bridging between then and now
electric

with relevance

charm

and believability

the belly button dream – when tony’s penis falls off
he’s running around looking for the guy who used to fix his car
to put his penis back on
and a bird swoops down
steals it
and then
after a very patient pause
the psychiatrist asks

“what kind of bird”

god damn man that's funny stuff

I stopped watching sopranos after awhile
like season two or three sometime
it was a passive act – I didn’t miss it really

a moral repulsion to all the violence and illegal activity I guess
my timid disposition grew weary

but tonight
trapped in a helpless world of sleeplessness

again

A&E is pimping season one episode one
and i’m hooked all over

big pussy little pussy
here comes the prozac
the language of violence
the spirit of honor
the power of “our thing” over individuality

a story about the times when wrong is right...under the circumstances

brilliant thank you very much

“hope comes in many forms”

what matters most to you?

CSI - game night

GRISSOM!!!

bre has her special way of saying it - love it

we watch it often - even the episodes we've seen before
my mom says they watch it 98% of the time it's on
whenever i hit "guide" on the satallite remote
it's on there somewhere

so i got bre the board game for christmas

and
we played it at grandma's

-

awkward at first n

but still fun nonetheless

we got 7 more cases to solve

i want you to know

i love the way you laugh
and i'm broken
like you
like a promise
-
loneliness
is subtle
and evil
and supports many flavours of dysfunction
-
what's your favorite flavour
-
do you take the time to taste it
-
or does it just make you feel better

everyman

everyman's life
ends the same way
it is the details in how he lived his life
that makes him different
from everyman

dawg dawg dawg

you can say anything to a dawg

and no matter how foolish it is

the dawg will always give you this look that says

...

"my god you're right! i never would have thought of that."

sunset

from the wooden bridge

and below

the moon rising in the east

(if you look carefully just above the center of the horizon - that's the moon coming up as the sun goes down)

between jan 3rd and 5th - keep your eyes to the skies - the farmers almanac says there will be meteor showers - the most active this year - meteor showers mean shooting stars -

shooting stars

and making wishes

a cool breeze comin' down...

resolutions

if you resolve
to give up smoking and drinking and any other degree of earthly communal pleasure you care to include
you don't actually live longer
it just seems longer

me

i resolve to start making commitments as soon as i think i can keep one
