Everytime you close your eyes...

Official Blog Entry #1

Number of failed attempts at maintaining a web log: 3
Number of cigarettes smoked since quitting on Saturday: 9
Number of times I've listened to Rebellion by Arcade Fire today: 25+

And here I am. This is my first official blog session in this format, meaning the format provided for me by Blogger.com. I plan to load up earlier blogs later on. Or not. They were a little boring anyway now that I think of it. A few things have occurred to me recently that I feel compelled to share with my readers. So listen up you two...

'It's not easy being green' is an article that I wrote for my friend Corey Kovnats' independant publication. You'll have the privilege of reading it before it even hits the newsstands as I am posting it later on tonight As well, I am currently working on another article entitled 'God is in the T.V' which examines a culture who worships celebrities, as well as the onslaught of "brute force advertising" and the A.D.H.D phenomenon.

Chris Eaton. I've been looking for an opportunity to discuss my unhealthy fixation on this man, including my plans to seduce and trap him with an unplanned pregnancy, and then I found out that he actually married a York U student a few months ago (a York U student who is not me, that is). Although I am genuinely heartbroken, I believe that I would be remiss were I not to mention his insightful and provocative novel The Inactivist. Buy it, read it, love it like your firstborn child.


Anthony Pereira. It's been suggested that I discontinue mentioning this person in my blog entries as I am getting married next fall and I believe he has a girlfriend, thus rendering it entirely inappropriate of me. However, the fact is that I keep re-starting my blogs and it's sort of becomming a tradition at this point. Anyway, Anthony and I both lived in A-House at Glendon last year. I think I probably only talked to him six times or something but I was practically in love with him for two months. He has that sort of vulnerable, sad, medicated quality that I find oh so attractive. One afternoon, in a brief lapse of sheer nostalgia, I read his entire archive of web log entries and was thereafter inspired to delve into the mad, mad world of Blogging. If you're interested in the random insights of a clever, creative and slightly depressed young lad, then you'll find what you're looking for here


Toe-knee-chest-nut-nose-eye love you. Posted by Hello



One More Thing:
I recommend going to HMV as soon as possible to buy Arcade Fire's cd "Funeral". Following that, you'll be all set to challenge my impressive record of times listening to "Rebellion (lies)" on repeat.

Ready, set, go.
