CLINT'S STAG

Four days of debauchery... drinking, eating, gambling and laughing in the classic Sin City, LAS VEGAS. Brimstone, Jason, Eric, Mark, Andy, Gambler, Jeff, Dodson, Ryan, Janus, Sean, Jeff, Mike and myself took part in an Epic stag weekend for our boy CLINT. Some highlights: a kick ass dinner at MESA GRILL, VIP Lounge at PURE, the MGM POOL and personally, winning $337 on STAR WARS SLOTS. Sleep was at a minimum but the good times were at a maximum. Hope you had a great time Clint, we sure did!

TIME TO STAG IT UP!

While Michelle is staying in for the weekend, I am off to VEGAS for CLINT's Stag.

Boozy good times are sure to be had.

Expect pics in a couple of days.

CROSSFIT

So I've started working out again and no word of a lie, it's tough. People at Propaganda have been joining up with a local gym and working out with CROSSFIT (think of it as intense weightlifting & gymnastics), where you start off with 10 private sessions and then move onto the classes. Along with my workout partner-in-crime JAN, we just completed the second of our 10 sessions this morning and I am sweatin' bullets.

For the first time since I was Boxing with Buckley, I am having fun working out. It's intense, it's painful and I dread every second of it but at the same time, I am enjoying myself and look forward to getting back in shape. Sure I am a "shape" right now but I want to be a different shape, I'm tired of this one, it's time to trade up!

My trainer ANGEL has graciously allowed me to bring my camera to each of the sessions so I can keep a photo log of the workouts. If you are interested, check out the pics HERE

Crossfit baby... crossfit. Gio fit??? We'll see...

MADONNA

We woke up, manned the phones and internets and 10 minutes later we got through... we are going to Madonna! They aren't the greatest seats but who cares, at least we are going.

MAY LONG WEEKEND

Quite the busy weekend if I do say so myself.

I saw PRINCE CASPIAN ("good" not "great"), I added another foody review to VANCOUVER EATS, we did some training with CARMINE and LAVERNE hung out with JASON & SAISHA. Michelle and I went CAR HUNTING, we were introduced to two great blogs: an art blog for my buddy CHAD and a coffee blog from my buddy ROBERT and I made PASTA AL FORNO... perfecto!!!

Great way to spend the long weekend!

R.I.P. XBOX 360

Well, I've finally joined the ranks of so many of you out there... I finally got the ring of death on my XBOX 360

Crap.

I was about to sit down to a couple hours of gaming (my first time since getting back from Europe), I fired up the machine and BOOM the RED RING OF DEATH. I turned it off, unplugged and replugged everything, turned it back on and voila, dead hardware. This has happened enough times to CHAD to know when the system is dead... it's dead... dead. On the plus side, this machine has lasted me 3 years, more than most but like all good things, it must come to an end.

Time for Xbox V2.0
