reggae with chinese on top

Last night I ventured out to College Street with Sabrina and friend to Orbit Room. I asked the tweeps what was happening and knew that @mrharhar and @40deuce would be there too. Harlen was looking very colorful.They have an awesome band that plays the raddest reggae. I danced a little bit.

There was one really weird loser dude in an orange shirt that was wasted and kept hanging around. Made fun him pretty hard. I also got it on video but am saving it till 4:20 on Monday.
The night ended with a dine in stop at late night Chinese food heaven. It was so good. It was Excellent.

lots of toes in yoga pants

I meant to post this yesterday, but forgot to hit 'post'. Unfortunately, I was not feeling good and hated the Internet. I puked and had a nap at work.

Here we go...

This weekend, after making some delicious walnut bran muffins (naturally) I stopped in to the MTCC to check out the Yoga & Pilates conference.It was a very relaxed place to be since I had been at #pibTO and broke a world record earlier. I ran into some friends and also checked out some cool products. My favorite was the purses & accessories made from cork, which deserve their own post.Overall, it was probably much more interesting if you actually took a class. I just cruised around and listened to some musica.
This is a video of the Hare Krishna mantra. Sing along, watch it on repeat, it's catchy, trust me. It might even take you to a higher state of consciousness. My friend & yoga teacher Jonny is in India right now, he has a blog called Yoga Bar.

When the sixteen names and thirty-two syllables of the Hare Krishna mantra are loudly vibrated, Krishna dances on one's tongue

rain or shine baby!! #pibTO

The day has finally come! I'm stoked for #pibTO today at 1pm. If you haven't got all the details or joined in on FB, that's a-OK all you have to do is SHOW UP for 1pm to Second Cup at Queen & John. It's meant to clear up by mid-day and not be too wet. If it is wet, don't let that stop you from being involved in something really awesome. I'll be rocking my favorite Wellies and rain coat just in case! You'll be able to find me with the media, Raptors girls, Flow 93.5, Freestyle Soccer, and lots of others on location at 1pm. All proceeds, yes 100% go directly to the SickKids foundation. See you at 1pm! ♥

the more we get together,

the happier we'll be

"For your friends are my fiends and my friends are your friends" and #genyTO meetup's are a great way to get together! Yes, Raffi.
It was really awesome to see many familiar and new faces. I met some tres cool people and have lots of pix that I will add to the #genyto group on FB later this weekend.This month's meetup was at Andy Pool Hall. Must say I'm sorry that some of my stickers got 'stuck' on the pool hall and not just on peoples clothes etc. I won't be going back there with this a haircut. I recieved a nasty email today from Andy's that went something like "your f***in stickers, what the f**k ". Sheesh, sorry guise. Don't have to be so mean about it.
I had a blast dancing, it's abviously a really classy place. I wasn't quite having as much fun as barefoot lady. She went all out! For real.
I'm really excited to be part of this growing group of wired, creative, motivated young people. Seeing the growth from the first #genyto in February to last night's April meetup has been really cool. I've met some of the most inspiring & fun people ever.
Hope to see heaps of you out at #pibTO today 1pm, Second Cup @ 307 Queen Street and John Street! 100% of the proceeds go to SickKids so bring your travel mug and get in line!

a kwik shave

Spring is in the air and I was feeling like an update. I get my hair done by Darren at his lofty salon in the heart of Queen Street West.
I love it! Darren you did an awesome job! It's super blonde and I got a new shave. I'm really happy. So glad I had camera with me this time. You can get Darren to do your hair too if you want it to look beautiful.

the kiwi girl was in the kitchen again

Last night I made a nice dinner. I really love cooking. I don't talk about it much because I'm not a food blogger. I hate talking about what I eat. Not fun to me so I don't do it often. However, last night...
It was lovely. Today I went to the AGO again. I was alone and I took a very introspective view. I only looked at things I like the most and for only as long as I felt like. It is a very free feeling. I had my Moleskine and pencil, camera, the important stuff. I got a picture of one of my favorite guys, but I'm nervous to post it.

i hope we reach the doubles today

Today is a beautiful day. Might even go over 10 degrees! Whoa, nice but not quite open toe time yet.
I love driving into work and feeling the bright sun. We rocked out to some tunage and put the windows down. It was so much fun.
There horses are near the office all the time. The Police keep then just around the corner and bring them out more when the weather warms up for a little Liberty Village strut.
Today I'm wearing Liquid Shot from Threadless and my old Chuck Taylor's. It's a good day. Thinking about getting a pedicure for lunch...

there's gold in the air of summer

I went to grab a coffee this afternoon and it was so cold and windy. I hate that. However, I did meet someone cool while I was at the coffee shop. His name is Jeff Adams. You may know of him? He is a two-time Olympian, four-time Paralympian, six-time World Champion, and former World Record Holder in the 1500 m men's wheelchair event. His 800 m gold in Sydney was a record-breaker. He is co-founder of Marvel Wheelchairs and his workshop is right near my office. He invited my to check out the shop and I would really love that!

where in the world is carmen sandiego?

If not for the weather, it is definitely spring judging by the amount of going out I've been doing over the past week!

This morning I located the Elusive Carmen on Twitter and has a pretty cool site with agents and stuff. I like it. I am now following @vile, Carmen has tips on interesting things.
I feel like I have so much to share! On Monday night I had drinks with the lovely Aga followed by the Raphael Saddiq show at the Phoenix with Bonga and some friends.
I ran into Rahim otherwise knows as @funkstop.
Then I saw this cute girl.
It was a great show. As usual, I showed up fashionable & late when it was already in progress. Such is life!

steamrolled by drunkards at steam whistle

Last night I strolled over to Steam Whistle to meet some friends. I arrived late, extremely late considering they opened at 5pm to start the party and most people were already totally wasted. It was a good time! I always have fun out, unless I lose something like my phone, ipod, camera, or dignity really.
I was pleasantly surprised to run into Tweeps Andrew Lane & Kurt Gooden. It's rad to meet the Tweeps offline. Makes me feel nerdy and cute. I like it.
These drunky drunky dudes below did a lovely pose for moi. Ben in the middle said he blogs too which is also rad.
I was pretty happy to find a loonie as you can see. That's like a hundred days good luck. Day #1 - right on. So far so good! Good things come to good people. Dear Kharma, Please make hundreds stick to my shoes next time.
Met the band Tiny Danza. They're big a jazz hip hop fusion band and a big deal in Korea. They are also on Twitter.
This pic is for you Ben.

3/14 1:59 & #spadinawatch

I saw on the news this morning that there was a smash up between a police car and street car last night at King & Spadina. Minor injuries to two our officers. I was news reporting last night when I started #spadinawatch. Today was a really beautiful day. I had coffee with a friend and went a walk for about two hours. around the St. Lawrence Market, Bay Street, Queen Street, Spadina. I had coffee with a friend who was off to Opera rehearsal for the COC. Pretty cool! Today is PI Day - 3/14. I stopped by Black Market on Queen, everything in the store is $10 right now. Got a couple goodies! I ran into a few peeps walking around which is always awesome. I'm enjoying all the tweets from my friends at the SXSW Interactive conference in Austin, TX. Wish I was there too!

these are my tweeps

I made a Mosiac of all my Twitter peeps aka Tweeps. It's nice to see all their faces. I really love meeting people that I follow, follow me or are on Twitter. It's a really awesome feeling when someone says they were looking forward to meeting you because they've been reading your blog or following your Tweets. I've had that happen a few times and it inspires me to keep writing here. Considering I started it a few years ago to keep more memories due to my bad memory, I'm really happy to know people like reading it. Don't hesitate to leave comments!! These are some of my Tweeps...
