there is a SHOW tonight (Friday) and tomorrow night (Saturday). Tonight is Morally Sound and Sparky playing at The Odeon for MS's new CD release. Tomorrow night Liberated Noise, Loaf, and Sparky play at Louis'. I will be at both shows (hopefully!) taking pictures so see you there! Both Shows at at 9pm by the way.
So Brett with all his fury Tai-Kwon-Doe'ed to death the ice'e'kel (<---I spell it like that because I'm not actually sure how to spell icicle...holy crap Spell checker just did it! Ok, ok... ICICLE)

You know its actually the 29th... I always write my updates at like 2am so its always already the next day. This time its only 10pm, but I'm putting down the next day anyways!
The exhaust for the heater in my garage (I say "my" as if I own it...) drips water = ice = see below.
It's about 9 feet tall I believe. We have to knock it over tomorrow though before it obstructs the exhaust, but for now its super cool!
finally in nerd news I got the HTML code that makes my webpage reload every time people go to it. The problem was that I would update my website, but then you would have to click "Reload" to see the changes. So... thanks to <META http-equiv="Pragma" content="no-cache"> placed between <HEAD> and </HEAD> this problem is fixed. THANKS SANTA! On the downside, you will reload all the pictures each time you come here which will take longer, but hey, that's better than not seeing "what's new" :)

there were well over 500 birds in my back yard today! It was freaky!
quote of the day: "what do most people mean by "living"? They don't mean living. They mean the latest and closest plural approximation to singular prenatal passivity which science, in its finite but unbounded wisdom, has succeeded in selling [them]." -e.e. cummings <-- if you went to Joes you should remember cummings' poems and essays we studied in English. this brought back memories.

I got the last and this season of Scrubs off KaZaA. I love that show!
a penny to anyone who can guess what today is! ....You know what gets me. The fact that millions of dollars a year are made on BOTTLED WATER! Now I admit, bottled water does (in most cases) taste better than tap water and depending where you are in the world can certainly be a lot safer but for the majority of people you are paying more for what you can get free out of a fountain than you would for a bottle of coke! Bottling companies must be laughing their asses off and wiping them with your money!
Enough about that. Quote of the Day: (Dana walks in with her hair newly dyed blonde) "Dana, I like your hair! .... It matches your face!" -Ryan Jackson it may be lame putting my own quote down on my website but damn that was funny!
In other news BUNNIN's NOT DEAD. Yes you may have wondered time and time again when Shawn Bunnin is going to update his rant section. Well for those of you who don't know, Bunnin is in Victoria for this semester going to UofV and training for the upcoming Mountain Biking season. Shawn has gone to the worlds the last two years and this year with all the extra training he gets to do in +10degree weather is will be a hot contender! (GOOD LUCK SHAWN! DON'T BREAK YOUR LEG AGAIN!) So as a result of all this, Bunnin doesn't have a computer in Victoria, but Internet Cafe's only cost $2/hour so he will be updating his section soon with a humungous rant about all he's been doing in Victoria and etc.
my final notes will be on fire alarms. The last time a fire alarm went off what went through your head? I know myself it is always "ohh probably another drill" or "must be some kind of malfunction." No one takes Fire Alarms as serious as we should but then again can we blame ourselves? I remember this summer I was taking a nap in the library at school after my summer class and the fire alarm went off for about 2 seconds for a test. In one of those two seconds I was on my feet and running thinking "I gotta get to the elevator!" What's sad is that getting to the elevator was the first thing to come to mind! Another bad thing (and what sparked this whole rant) was that the fire alarm in my house has been malfunctioning lately. Last week it went off 6 times in one night. Each time for almost a minute! What's bad is that the alarm is at the top of the stairs (I live in the basement) and it didn't even wake me up!!! That was kinda scary when I thought about it! Anyways, I'm off to bed now. Sometime this week the punkoryan webserver should be back up and I'll have a million new pictures to put up and hopefully punkoradio too! Until then be sure to check out the new band pics in the BANDS section if you haven't yet. Night.

you know what I love about life. The fact that "life is a book that you can't skip ahead to see the ending in." You NEVER know what is coming or what life is going to bring, and THAT is what makes life worth living for (aside from the endless list of other things of coarse!). But if you think about it. It would suck to die today, because then you will never get to see what would have happened tomorrow, or next week, or a year from now. Tonight I saw a friend at the Pat that I haven't really seen since grad, and we were best friends in high school. That just made me reflect on how exciting life really is if you just forget about all the big (maybe ugly) things in life and think about the little things. Like reuniting with a friend, or being at the right place at the right time, or just having a really good day. APPRECIATE LIFE DAMNIT!
Through the Eyes of a Drunk....
I was downtown today, took some interesting pictures.

A show to remember... that was really good! I went to see New Jacobin Club, Morally Sound, and Polk play at the Bassment tonight. It was a really good show and I took about 120 pictures. (of coarse!) This was my first time taking pictures of bands with my new camera and WOW did they ever turn out good! So anyways check out the pictures in the BANDS section.
Now as for me...tonight someone was telling me that they go to my website all the time when they are bored and are sad to see that I haven't updated. Well that inspired me (somewhat) to update more so thank you guy from Loaf! Speaking of update there are 5 new bands in the BANDS section so check them out.
Now for my long story as to why the pictures from Calgary aren't up yet... well as you may have gathered I spent last weekend in Calgary and had an awesome time. Along with that I awesome time I also go to take about 100 pictures of Calgary both at night and day. My (I would say now to be) friend Maria happily drove me around one night for 3 hours to all the best spots in Calgary to take pictures. It was awesome! But, of coarse, my memory cards for my camera filled up fast so, using Maria's computer I copied the pictures to her computer (by the way this story may be really boring so you can skip to the next paragraph if you want) and burned them onto a CD...well, I remember as I left her place saying to George "man would it ever suck if I lost this cd".....well ...so ...yeah....the next day "of coarse" I can't find the cd...I have no idea where it is! We search the hotel room high and low and middle and no luck. So I must have left in Maria's car or something. So anyways Maria is mailing me another copy (I called her just before she was about to delete all the pictures off her computer!!!) and when they come in there will a ton of cool pictures for all you guys to look at!
Well that last paragraph was pretty boring but what ever. I don't have read it. Hmmm...now I guess would come the time for me to write something witty or thought provoking....
How bout this! WHAT: SASKATCHEWAN INDIE MUSIC FESTIVAL! WHEN: Feb 21st starting at 7pm going all night, 22nd Film Festival 1pm-->5pm then Music from 7pm going all night. WHERE: Cosmo Senior Center (accross from the Hose and Hydrant bar) PRICE: $5 per event, or $13 for the whole shpeal. MOREINFO: e-mail Jenn: jen904@sk.sympatico.ca
Was that good? No? Well screw you! I am tired and although I know I have a bunch of "relevant" things to write about, I'm going to sleep now.
p.s. The PHOTOS section as well as some other things may not be available anymore due to my limited web space. (FUCK YOU SHAW!!!) so hopefully next week it'll all be good again!

If you weren't on the trip then they will mean nothing to you, but I also took close to a hundred pictures of Calgary at night and during the day and I will hopefully have all those up within the week. Click HERE for a preview. Finally, we went to a local Calgary punk show. It was awesome! I will have the pics for that up soon too. Wish me luck waking up tomarow for my damn 8:30am class.
