Good Luck All Of You, Finding Love Wherever You Look or Don't Look For It

Happy Valentines day!!! Although, according to the catholic church, it isn't really Saint Valentine who can get you hooked up at midnight, it's Saint Raphael. Saint Valentine is good at passing notes though, I think I feel a connection to him.

John Mayer is playing a concert tonight in Toronto. This is an amazing way to spend valentines day. Just the right combination of romance and heartbreak. I'm also going to Ajax today to film with Comedy Made Short. This sketch is so funny!

I hope your day is filled with appreciation, love, warm hugs, and heart-shaped candies with sexual innuendos on them.

Park That Car, Drop That Phone, Sleep On The Floor, Dream About Me...

"I checked out your blog. It really surprised me. You're not as superficial as I expected."

hahahahahaha THANKS! You don't know me at all! :)
WHOA! We hit 4000 hits after just over a month of blogging! Thanks, readers!!
A friend that I haven't talked to since high school got in touch with me the other day. She said she loves to read my blog and shares it with the homeless Edmontonians she works with, who also love it. That's so amazing to hear and I'm very glad my words are reaching out to people I don't even know! So hey, people at "Housing First"!

Did you know Valentines day is on the same day as Chinese New Years?! Which one will I have to choose over the other to celebrate?! Have you thought of any Valentines day ideas since we last talked? Share them with me! I like to hear these things! But seriously, don't stress. If your girl/boy cares too much about how much you spent or how much money is in your wallet, maybe they're not worth it. In my opinion, the best nights are the nights when we can just do nothing at all. Just be creative. Don't even get her flowers. They're just flowers! They'll die anyway! But if you do, don't get her roses. Make her a card. Write something nice in it. Heartfelt. Honest.

I am sort of intrigued by old-fashioned romance. Like back when they used words like "olde" and whatnot. Romantic things in this time were simpler, and easier, and I dare say, more appreciated. Chivalry wasn't dead, and holding a car door was enough to impress a lady. Reciting poetry didn't get laughed at but was instead considered beautiful and important. These days you got these fancy pants romantic comedies where the guy is dead and leaving tapes by mail declaring his undying love and yibbida yabbida. Honestly? How is a guy supposed to compete with dead tape senders? Suddenly holding the door isn't good enough anymore. Suddenly you gotta die but have it pre-arranged so that your best friend will open the door for your wife on the eve of the anniversary you first kissed or some shit. These are the things to keep you up at night.

Being In Love / Being In Denial

"I am doing something I hate for you. This is what it means to be in love."

Readers, how are you today? I know its only been a day since we last talked but I missed you so much! I love this relationship we are carrying on. Its one of the most precious things to me. Thank you for the encouragement, the texts, the emails, the anonymous messages-- except for the anonymous person emailing me about my Mom. I know she's hot, but she's very much taken... by my Dad.
While we're at it, please tell me your thoughts on which parent I resemble more, cause I have never understood:

_______________
I don't have any poetic ramblings on love or life or death or how I want you to be dangerous, but I will tell you that today... I am glowing. I could hardly sleep last night- not a big surprise for me- and I'm looking forward to the future. Although, future is a big word. You can't just throw that shit around. Its inevitable that the future is coming, and whether you like it or not you're going to be there too. Isn't it interesting how the people or things from the past really stick with you for all of your futures? As much as you say "its all in the past" that's only half true, because that's what made your present, which makes your future. Every moment before this one lead to this one.

Its February. A new month is always exciting to me. My music video with The Latency will premiere on Much Music soon. Do you know what else is coming up in the near future? ...Valentines day. Do you celebrate valentines day? Was it just a holiday made up to boost hallmark's revenue? Does it matter? I grew up excited for valentines day and its message of sharing love and showing appreciation. I don't see a point in changing my mind or "hating valentines day" just because I'm single. Really, single ladies? Just cause you don't have a man to put a ring on it, doesn't mean you should hate Vday. Is that a little discriminatory? I don't hate hannukah just because I'm not jewish! Anyway, if you celebrate valentines day, start thinking. You have 2 weeks. V-day is on a Sunday. Maybe celebrate on saturday.

Did you see the Grammy's?! Did you see what Lady Gaga was wearing? Did you see Taylor Swift win her FIRST Grammy?! Did you see Michael Jackson's kids' heartfelt speech? Did you see Beyonce doing an Alanis Morrissette cover?! ---I didn't. Because I was filming another comedy sketch with Comedy Made Short - which is awesome, by the way, and will be posted next week. But I DID youtube Gaga and Elton John's performance. I LOOVE that they sang "Speechless"together. This song does something to me. It's just that one lyric:
"I'll never talk again, oh boy you've left me speechless."
I love that feeling.

Something you may be interested in... Avatar 2?! Seriously!!

Also, This past weekend, Tiffany and I de-cluttered our condo.
And by that I mean, I took down all of my disney stuff while Tiffany laughed and video taped it all. Everything. All of it. Gone.
Ladies and Gentleman, this weekend, I became a grown-up.
I know, it's about time.
