Fair Warning...

Ah my friends and their beards... I haven't had a beard in some time, mostly cause I was rockin' the long hair, and felt I should limit my hair in some way...

But now partly due to laziness, and partly due to needed to shield my face/chin from the harsh and bitter cold I'm subjected to as I walk everywhere in the bright/cold ice dagger winds of death, world...

So where was I? Riiiiiiiiiiiiiigggght... My point... I have a beard...
A nice full red beard to go with my blonde hair. It's been 1.5 weeks, and there we go...

For no reason, I shall quote switchfoot... Not Slipknot...

Yesterday is a wrinkle on your forehead...
Yesterday is a promise that you’ve broken...
This is your life and today is all you’ve got now
Yeah, and today is all you’ll ever have
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be?
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose.
Don’t close your eyes...

Yesterday is a kid in the corner.
Yesterday is dead and over.
This is your life, are you who you want to be?
This is your life, is it everything you dreamed that it would be?
When the world was younger and you had everything to lose.
Don’t close your eyes...

I like this... I caught my attention, as like most university students on my way out with a worthless degree, I've no idea what to do with my life, where I'm going, etc...

The time Grayson & I met Captain Jack Sparrow

In honour of the trailer to Pirates of the Caribbean 2 coming out... and looking really cool by the way... I have decided to regale the blogverse with a tale of bewildering excitement, missing trouser-pants, etc...

Oh, and the time Grayson and I met Captain Jack Sparrow - Pirate Extraordinaire...

Two winters back, when we were young men, Grayson and I ventured to Kensington Market in search of crazy clothes and cheeses... Sadly, at the time I failed to find a new leather trenchcoat, and Grayson failed to find some trouser-pants to cover his chicken legs. The market was fun, and we found a few things...

However, when Grayson and I arrived at the busses at 5 o'clock, to find that one had left at 4:50 and the next one was 5 hours away... Suffice to say, that's a long time to waste wandering around Toronto in the cold. We began to bust into random hotels to see what they were like, and were surprised to find a bunch of people dressed as elves wandering around.

Turns out there was a Lord of the Rings convention going on, so we just strolled in without paying, and began having security guards taking our pictures with characters.

For some reason there was a fellow dressed as Captain Jack Sparrow there. Not only was his costume flawless, but he had the voice and mannerisms down cold!! That guy was awesome...

If the image looks odd, its because the security guard put his thumb over Grayson, which is a shame... So I just edited another Grayson I had over himself... BEHOLD IT!!!

Like a Squid Playing a Banjo...

For anyone that ever dreamed of the day that a hillbilly would fall in love with a squid, by which I mean me, Lightning-Lenny, and Grayson... This drawing I found is clearly the love child of that union...

May the Gods help us all... TWANG
