Notebook #2: Found cellphone poetry

I love you, 

Don't overdose.

I'm going to, 

Little stress reliever.

Typical behavior,

I'm leaving.

HUG IT UP

A new week has officially started. Thank goodness we can leave last week behind us.

*Here is a bear hug for all those who thought last week was a little rocky.

The Blonde Poncho has not been DECODED.

Winnipeg is what it is. I feel like people constantly complain about the city, while they’re dreaming of how to break free from it. I am one of those people. But I can go through spurts where I become enchanted with the city and all its happenings. I forget for mere moments that I want to leave this city. But then something like this happens....

I wake up Tuesday morning, specifically November 16, 2010. I know today will be a great day. November 16, 2010 is the day Jay-Z’s autobiography is released. His autobiography is titled Decoded. This book will complete.

I go to school and have trouble focusing. Give me a break teachers, I HAVE JAY ON THE BRAIN. I leave school and race to Chapters. They don’t seem to have the book on special display anywhere in the store. WEIRD. If i was in charge the book would have been front and centre. *With a life size cardboard version of Jay standing next to the table displaying the books

I venture over to a computer. And it says there is no Decoded in stock. I venture over to a worker and ask about the possibilities of another Chapters having the book in stock? She looks it up on her computer. And then, she looks up from her computer screen. She looks me directly in the eyes and says NO. They haven’t been shipped yet.

 (Book signing. NOT IN WINNIPEG.)

Sorry Winnipeg, but this would NEVER happen in Toronto.

Winnipeg, you lose.
Jay, I’m still your biggest fan.
Decoded, I will conquer you soon enough. (actually not soon enough, but eventually)

Using the word Crunk appropriately.

Last week I was raving about mustaches, yes yes yes so fantastic. This week I am ranting about a mustache event! Pretending I still have a social life, I ventured into the Facebook Events page to see what was going on in the month of Movember. (Fooling myself to think that I have any time for fun activities with only four weeks left of this term.) Anyways, I came across a couple events for Movember.

OBVIOUSLY WE ALL KNOW I WANT TO PARTICPATE. 

But as I continued searching I became a little disturbed. Can I just say a mustache must have rubbed me the wrong way! (HA!) I am not promoting these events, but you must get a visual on the posters to understand what is happening here,

First Event: Movember at The Pyramid

Second Event: Movember at 4 Play Sports Bar & Grill

Third Event: CancerCare Mantioba Fundraiser at Mystique

Sooooo this is where I begin to feel awkward. Clearly this is only my third month in the fake marketing world (aka school) but, this last poster is giving me the mad creeps. Now I can get crunk from time to time. And I can even say the word crunk from time to time. (SO EMBARASSING, I only use it when I'm already "crunk" clearly) And I am a hundred times more likely to attend an event where the money is going to charity. Now I may or may not attend this event, even though the mesasge is POOR the money is still going to the right place.

Soooo let us just focus on the tagline... CRUNK FOR THE CURE.

Is this making anyone feel awkward? Or in the end, it doesn't matter because the money we pay at the door is doing some good in Manitoba?

I don't know why it bugs me so much. I guess I feel like it is just lazy marketing or something….

I dedicate this post to Mustache Matt.

Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a mustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for  prostate cancer. (taken directly from http://ca.movember.com/)

I am thankful for this month.

I LOVE A GOOD MUSTACHE

and I LOVE A GOOD CAUSE

I strongly encourage everyone who is reading this blog to participate, THAT INCLUDES YOU BRIAN BULOUS. As a girl I don't really know the logistics, but I am going to say growing a mustache is a super fun activity. As well as, mustache men are much more distinguished than non mustache men. And to get to the point what is most important in life are good looks....

MUSTACHES = GOOD LOOKS

The choice seems obvious, grow a mustache and raise money for prostate cancer.  I am more than willing to sponsor all who are actually collecting money for the cause.

Here is a little inspiration for all your rugged men out there...

If the cat can't convince you than I don't know what possibly could...

Skateboard Tutorial

Ingredients

-1 paved road

-2 skateboards

-1 inexperienced girl

-1 skater boy

-½ cup of determination

-Add no fear

Suggest a skate session to your favourite local skater boy. Borrow your brother’s skateboard. Promise not to break it. Find a paved road. Lace up your skate shoes tight.  Mount your board. Add a dash of fearlessness before attempting first trick. Get up if you fall. No tears required.

I'm really starting to miss the ghetto atmosphere of this blog
