Grizzel and Jeezy's Wedding!

Friday, September 5th, 2008 saw the wedding of Grace Lee and Jeff Yee. It was held at The Manor on Carrying Place Golf Resort in Kettleby, Ontario. It was a nice outdoor wedding (a first for me), where the weather held up although patches of grey lurked in the skies.

One of the previous pastors (Mike Davis) at my home church conducted the ceremonies while our more recent previous pastor gave a short sermon about the roles of husbands and wives. It was spoken beautifully and with respect.

My friends Keith, Tracy, and Camille did superbly with the music. They played one worship song, How Great is Our God, as well as a song by Michael Bublé, I think it was called Everything.

The reception and dinner was held indoors at The Manor with an open bar to guarantee a rowdy crowd. After a few drinks, a few of us started playing a card game that Pastor Jeff brought to kill about 2 hours before the dinner started.

The dinner was quite exquisite with my favourite being the fillet mignon... wrapped in bacon! I'm a simple man, I'm not much for fine dining, but this was pretty awesome. They offered dessert after the main dessert outside the hall, with crepes and chocolate fondue... ie. greatness in a fountain.

They night ended with dancing til 1 in the morning. Me and my friends tore up the floors with wacky moves, conga lines to Dancing Queen, and other shenanigans. It was a good night of fun.

You can see more pictures at my photo site found here. That's it for now. Later geeks.

A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex

As part of my "campaign of cheapness", the past 3 months I've been going to the Indigo bookstore downtown about twice a week to read Chris Jericho's autobiography A Lion's Tale: Around the World in Spandex . I'd park down for about 1.5 to 2 hours per visit and it took 3 months to do, but I finally finished it. Let it be known, that Jericho was my favourite wrestler from 1997 to 2002 (it only lasted this long because from 2002-07, I stopped watching/following wrestling completely). I learned of him during my junior high school years when me and my friends would watch WWF and WCW programming religiously. I knew there was something that stood out in Chris, it might have been his style of fighting, his comedic arrogance on the mic or his boyish good looks. Well whatever it was, I believed in him. My friends at the time were skeptical, but I would argue with them why he was so great. It was during his cruiserweight feud with Dean Malenko that really brought ou...

The League of Denial (2013)

The topic of concussions in sports is a dialogue that’s been growing the past number of years. Do a search on ‘concussions’ and ‘football’ and you’ll get several thousand hits on the controversy that’s surrounded the sport. It’s a challenging topic as the research is all relatively new, and the topic itself challenges the mentality and philosophy adopted by football loving Americans. Now, I’m not a fan of football or NFL but when I saw this book lying at the local bookstore, my interest was piqued. Although I’m not a fan of football, those that know me know that I’m an unabashed fan of prowrestling. Talks about concussions are also quite a hot topic even within the prowrestling sub-culture. Earlier this year, one of the hottest wrestlers of the current era, Daniel Bryan, retired early at the age of 34 due to a history of concussion related issues. Interestingly, he was not permitted to return to the ring due to the disapproval by WWE’s medic...

MAX PAYNE was oh so PAYNEFUL!!!

What a failure this was. An EPIC FAILURE~! And I'll tell you why. This movie had everything going for it which was why it made the failure seem so huge. It had star power. It had a very competent director. The visual style was there. It had a simple storyline... a storyline that was basically fuck-proof because it's so basic. The effects (when there were any) were also pretty great. So where did they go wrong? Pacing. If the first two-thirds of the film was like the last third, I think it would have been a fine film. Not great by any means, but fine. I mean, there was hardly any action in the first hour. It was all talk and build up. Every 5 minutes I was saying to myself, "okay, something cool is gonna happen now". But it never came. I think had they added 2 or 3 big action sequences during that hour, that it would have helped the film breathe and flow better. I mean, didn't they realize that the source material was an action game? Max Payne is ba...
