1. SWITCH TO WATER
- cheaper
- healthier
Take a bottle of water wherever you go.
2. EAT EGGS
- full of vitamins
- high in protein
Don't believe "Eggs & Cholesterol" myth.
3. EAT FATTY MEALS
Everyone thinks you cant eat certain homemade meals. I read a few articles. It's all about the amount of calories you consume. As long as you don't go too far ahead.
4. GET WHEY
- cheapest source of protein ($70 for 10 lbs bag. Lasts approx 4 months.
(Whey is an option. You don't always have to get down with it.)
5. TUNA CANS
According to PETA, tuna fish accumulate mercury in their flesh. I think it depends on how much tuna you consume. All fish ultimately have chance of accumulating mercury, no?
6. BUY FROZEN VEGGIES
- less time
- you don't waste money if not eaten on time
- can be bought in bulk & stored in your freezer
7. USE A MULTIVITAMIN
Pesticides lower the vitamin levels of your fruits and veggies. Two solutions:
- buy organic food (too expensive)
- use multivitamin, $10/month
8. FISH OIL
- lower cholesterol levels
- decreases body fat
- reduces inflammation
I read that there is a product called Carlson's Liquid Fish Oil with lemon (by spoon), or you can also find liqui-gel types.
9. BUY GENERIC FOOD
Brand name food will always be expensive. You're paying for the name. I sort of agree with this, but sort of don't. Maybe because I find the best deals.
10. BUY IN BULK
- gets you discounts
- saves time
- saves car fuel
*** INVEST IN A DEEP FREEZE ***
11. GO TO ONE GROCERY STORE
Instead of buying bread here, soap there, and apples way over the downtown area. Buy all of your groceries at one place, but make sure it is decently priced. Get competitive with yourself and find the gold mine. Make sure the product isn't too under graded, though.
12. MAKE A PLAN
- make a list of what you need
- eat a solid meal, and don't go hungry.
Routines will show after time, and making a list can be important. I learned this through an old roommate.
13. DON'T BUY JUNK FOOD
- unhealthy
- expensive
I know just like the next person that this isn't the last time I will have a burrito, but be smart about it and try. It will show.

Maintaining A Mirror
People want to chase idle dreams, I want to chase pages in the books I'm reading. People want to chase Benjamin's in order like just another fucking number, I want to MAKE Benjamin's. We're all searching for this so called shit. This so called higher power. You need to know that this life of yours is passing you by, whether you want it to, or not. So man the fuck up or get off. Get down, or lay down. Put this in your head phone, and kick some shit. Think about your life. It's my time. It's just my time...
" It don't matter, as long as you get where you going "
- M.M
You can't deny the integrity of this beat.

Persuit Of (Happy)ness
I never thought it would get to this point. When I started this, I didn't know I would share much of my life with thoughts, or stories with anybody. At the end of each day I just cant help but to bare, a mere small portion of myself. I just cant help it..
I did something without telling anybody for the first time in my life. I've been searching for the perfect path my entire life it seems. Today was different.
After working so many countless jobs, and countless hours. After being in a shadow for so many years, I decided to do something different. I applied for a job that required basically a university degree. Here's the thing. I dont have one..
I applied for an internship position for a well respected company. Not thinking anything of it, I get a call. I get a call from somebody who wanted to meet me. This person wanted to see who I was, and what I was like in person. So I went.
4 interviews later I ended up in the seat on an office downtown. I remember sweating in my bed the night before thinking about how my life could change over night. A chance like no other. Rather than use my rehearsed version, I went in natural. Just me. That entire hour in front of big shots seemed like maybe 2 minutes. What a blur. I spoke with great grammar, and excellent posture. I used reference to show why I wanted a better life. I refered to reasons why I should be chosen. I explained how sometimes you find talent in odd places. I nailed almost every single question with some responses that these guys were surprised to hear. I put my knowledge in to all of it. Most of all, I put my life into it..
I didn't get the position.
Just another day.

Stuff before 7:51, Sunday, July 10th, 2011
If you have head phones, put them on. Next click play on the song I posted for this. That Khalifa. Go ahead and turn your page, this is a banger whether you like it or not.
Stuff is so blurry lately. Indulging life changing moments. Not giving a mother what. Not caring for clings, or anything that pollutes me. Doing what they told me I couldn't. Shit becomes so real sometimes whether you choose to accept it or not. It just runs through the dirt one way or another. Twenty-two hour bus rides. Invaded thoughts of creations.. A new life.. A new man. For as real you think our lives can get for anyone, just know you are literally capable of doing anything. Take a minute, and even laugh. I'm smiling too. You will see.
My U2 post is still pending. It seems so intense that I just don't know how to approach it. I may even be including my dad in for some of it. Photo's here, and photo's there.
We ended up sitting at a table where somebody forgot their marijuana cigarette

It has been raining here today. I swear to you right now. Life is at its trippiest point so far for me. I just can't explain it. U2 last night.. I had a moment while taking in a song in particular. Show details, and apparent "moment" coming as soon as I can. If I've ever credited myself on my free lance passion for writing.. I'd probably tell you that my next post will be my most personal credible piece of writing ever. There are no secrets, and nothing to hide. If you know me, you know that I am who I am. No matter what. So I invite you to possibly get the same goosebumps I had last night.. And to possible have a little piece of the vibe I got from a life long story. Take care for now.
All the best Oprah! We love you! Miss you Streetsmokes. Miss you Willy. Come home. Come home Carlo, we miss you.

Squeemish Vacation 2011
Alright, so there is something that was left out on part of my Las Vegas rant. Our first night out there we all took in by utilizing the roof top club in our hotel RIO ALL SUITES. It was an amazing night, and everybody has a great time! Cheetham kept getting texts from Willy back in Canada. They were going back and forth basically saying how shitty it was that Willy didn't end up coming. He's been working out of town. Cheetham then comes up to me and says in these exact words. "F*** man, I wish Willy could have made it, I feel bad for 'em..". The night ends and we all some how end up in our hotel rooms safely. Here are a couple photo's of our first night.
Day 2: Our second day began quite light. We got something in our stomachs, and walked a few places, and had some drinks. It seemed pretty tame.
Day 3: We decided on the night of day 3 we would go back to the roof top Voo Doo Lounge/Night Club. But this time we would do it biiiiig. So, you know how the routine goes. Gym, tan, and laundry. I started this GTL shit! (kidding). We got ready, had some very stiff drinks, and were on our way. The club was insane, again. Everybody got super, super, drunk. I remember it vividly. Me and Cheetham were at the bar getting a drink. Then the texts start coming through, again. It's Willy saying how shitty it was he wasn't there with us. Then Cheetham was like relaying their entire conversation to me while the bottle gypsy did his cool bar tender moves. Cheetham, again started to say how shitty it was that Willy wasn't there as well. The last text he received was "well where are you guys partying tonight?". Shortly after that Cheetham and Chantel went to bed, as well as Hildy and Keshia. Then the unthinkable happens...
Willy comes walking up to our group beer, and beer in hand! SURPRISE! What a trip. The f***ing guy takes a last minute flight and trips the hell out of the entire group. All along Cheethams already gone to bed, ha ha. This was one of the trippiest things ever. It almost felt like it was a dream. What an amazing memory for such an out of their mind moment. Good times Willy! Here are some more photo's of it all.
Two of the best right here
J Roc seriously has some wicked dance moves. Nero's livin life as you can see.

There is only so much a man can take. There is only so much we can take each time day in, and day out. We search for this admiral figure that we're taught our entire lives. Depending on the state you're in.. you just become another number. Another thing in the world that follows the steps of the other same person in front of them.
I have the least amount of assets, and the least amount of a college degree. It just seems that no matter what is placed in front of me, I can walk around it. It seems like there is no wall too big to stop me. I will be eating a bologna sandwich one day, and the next a nice steak dinner. Money becomes such an idle. A definite necessity, but also a definite poison. Spreading through the streets as it is spent on endless substance abused nights for some. Addiction, and power for others. Also so much more for all types of lifestyles. Some don't even see it affecting them. Some think that with all the money, comes a content water front lifestyle. We will never stop spending, and will always need money. It's just sad how fast it burns through the holes of peoples pockets who absolutely rely on it for every moment in their lives.
Go ride a bike. Go for a walk if you may, and bring something to occupy the time further. How fucking precious is your life to you? How much does it really mean? Do you really know who you are, and what you stand for? Before you spend your next dollar on something, why don't you ask yourself if you're REALLY living your life?
I take the city transit, and yeah I get 10.75/hour. I have fun, and do things like any normal person. I know one thing. Ive made mistakes in the past, but its definitely not money that gets the best of me.

Send you home doctor'd up
There isn't a time when I write with-out listening to something. When I leave a link under with a song under the writing, it means I'm listening to it while writing. So why don't you do the same?
Back from that strange city that either leaves you broke, or just plain angered. I enjoyed my time in LV either way. It was nice to get away. The sports book was another reason why I will never have a good run betting on sports. We won't talk about that though. Lots of beer, and lots if cigarettes. I enjoyed every puff mom. Me and my friend picked up a flat of those tall Heineken bottles. Ha ha, and holy chit.. American beer is really FUCKING watered down. Its great for the hot weather, though. Anyways, these Heineken's made me feel like somebody dosed my brew with rubbing alcohol. I needed a wheel chair, almost. Feels great to be home on the other hand. I hate you Winnipeg, but deep down I love you.
To The Cheethams: I had an incredible time with you all. I hope we do this every year forever!
To Mike & Chantel: You guys were awesome to party with! Come time when everybody is looking for their flight home we didnt have time to say much. Stay the way you guys are. Success!
Free lance writing for life! Stay peachy.
