So I think I am losing my brain...  Too many things are happening at once and it is way too hilarious...  I think what I'm gonna do is stick to the least important things because essentially they are more fun anyway...  I guess I can also dip into some of the important things too...

Generally everybody on the crew is completely stoked that we are renewed.  You can already feel the gears grinding back into full throttle after this short but horrifying slow down of production.  Basically for the past couple of weeks I have edited a couple of nights per week, and done a lot of recording with MC Face.  I've been doing the TV interviews and stuff to promote the show, but outside of that... There haven't really been any jokes.  I miss going out and doing the jokes.  At least we all know now that there will be an opportunity to do more.

I think it's pretty hilarious the reaction some people have givin to Cow Brain Boat.  I mean, obviously we expected people to be disgusted... In fact I think I am really quite surprised at how many people loved the segment.  I myself can not watch it without hiding behind my knees.  I am completely and utterly embarrassed when I look at myself destroying those skulls, but essentially that is why we had to play it for you all.  We are all very proud of that embarrasing, and disgusting feeling that this segment creates.  I hope the people that were offended aren't too turned off of the show.  I guess those people have to understand that there are different levels that they are gonna get when they tune in, it's not always gonna be cute, fun, and funky.... Although quite often it will be those things too.  We want to keep it real, surreal, different, and unexpected... and sometimes that means bashing a skull or two.  We wouldn't be able to live with ourselves if we thought of an idea like Cow Brain Boat and didn't follow thorugh on it.

Derek Harvie got all the Cows Heads at a slaughter house.  We had four of them... they were fresh.  I guess we just were looking at it like another meat segment.  It wasn't really until we actually got the heads and set them up on the beach, it wasn't really until that point that we relized the full insanity.  It wasn't until the axe, and bat, and knives were wielded... It wasn't until that point did we relize that anything was truly wrong...  Anyway, the whole point of the segment was obviously to push the envelope as far as we could off in that one direction... In this case, cow heads.  We have a motto that we go by on the show.... Derek reminds me of it, Glenn reminds me of it, Phil reminds me of it... "No Holding Back"  Whenever we hold back we fail, and whenever something is pushed as far as it can go, we succeed.  That is the motto, and for that reason all of us on the show stand by Cow Brain Boat as an important segment.  It is perhaps our proudest moment.  We did not kill the cows, I in fact love animals.  I have a cat and a dog that  I love greatly.  But they are alive....  If ever they should die however, I see a segment.

But seriously folks...

I started drinking Caesars...  "I'll have a Caesar, extra spicy."  There is a girl I know who drinks Caesars and the other night I decided to order one for myself at a bar in Ottawa called The Cave.  I sipped that Casar for a long time.  It felt very cool to order a Caesar...  It had a James Bondish feel to it.... I'll have a Caesar, extra spicy....   Basically it is Tomatoe juice and vodka with tabasco sauce in it, pretty delicious.   I think I will continue my road towards alcoholism and drink them at home out of coffee cups.  I do now own a few liquer glasses, I think that's what they are called, and I must thank Nancy White for giving them to me, along with her wonderful CD entitled Gaelic Envy.  Unfortunately the glasses are quite small, so I have to drink my Caesar's out of them in stages...  I don't think these glasses are made for Caesars...  It takes me at least 15 minutes just to cram the piece of celery into them.

I am also in the process of trading in my car.  I am getting a new vehicle.  I felt that it would be in my best interests to upgrade, because I am most certainly going to end up dead...  See I think the front wheel of my Toyota is about to fall off, and the hole in my muffler is now so large that I am sure that I am suffering from Carbon Monoxide poisoning...  I don't know if this is safe, but I think the exhaust is pumping right into my car... Anyway, next week I have new wheels...  I'm not 100 percent sure yet, but it looks like I'm going for a  Jeep Cherokee.... we drove one around Mexico and I loved it.   So now I'll have car payments to worry about, and rent....  and food....  I haven't been eating well....

See this is a major problem for me...  I never do groceries because I never can find the time...  So over the past few months I have noticed a trend developing.  I have started eating more and more Lebanese food... Donairs. Shawarma, Combo plates of chicken, beef, and rice...  Hommus, Taboleh, Pita bread...  I am concerned that I am going to turn into a plate of Lebanese food...  I will be completely honest, I am currently eating Lebanese food about 10 times a week!  Sometimes twice a day....  I am serious...  Any suggestions on how to break the cycle would be great...  By the way, Ottawa people....  Seasons Pizza has the best Donairs... dee-friggin-licious.

The MC Face CD is comin along real nice.  Every track we record together seems to get better than the last.  The unfortunate thing about that is that it makes it hard to stop recording.  We have ten fully recorded and mixed songs done now...  I think the album is gonna have about 14 songs, and about ten additional tracks that are spoken word.... jokes, interviews with the Jay Roo Doctor Love, or Humplik, Derek Harvie, and me doing some weird interviews with people on the street.  The stuff we have recorded now is pretty surreal.  It's not gonna really be like the Organized Rhyme CD because the joke tracks have a lot more meat to them...  Plus it's just me and Face doing the production... with the new Humplik, Harvie, J-Roo, South Pole crew...  Not to diss, but this new team makes Organized Rhyme look like a grade seven music class fiddling with a Casio Rapman... (wait a minute)  There's gonna be some real crazy shit on there...  MC Face is really rhyming on point... mad skills, crazy skills...  He's actually lying down on the couch in my apartment right now because he's so exhausted from writing so many dope rhymes.

So I'm coming back down to Toronto this week.  A lot of people have been asking me if we are going to a movie this time.  I'm not sure if I can because I may have to head out after the Open Mike to meet a friend of mine who I never get to see when I go to Toronto...  I guess if anyone wants to come with us, give me an e-mail with your phone number. I'll try to call you when we get to whatever bar we end up at in Toronto...  We are gonna go to a bar and drink Caesars.  Maybe my friend won't mind going out with some of you cats... I'll ask him and we can all play it by ear...  Regardless I'll be back in Toronto the following week and maybe we can all go catch a flick again that time.

Anyway... Bed time for goof boy.

See ya later.
