This weekend was fantastic. Bryci and I chilled the fuck out. We went hard over the past two weeks getting Katie Banks live and online and we needed to get away, not be sitting at the desk like we’re connected to the computers.

Ever have those moments? I mean, I love my job, but sometimes, I just need time with my girl. Nothing else matters, just her and I… relaxing, doing anything, or nothing at all. We spent some time on the beach with Jack, that was great. Little fucker figured out how to dig. One one of our little walks, we encountered this little field that had some cows in it. Jack was… well… less than impressed. Check the video over at Bryci’s blog by clicking here.

So yeah, great weekend. We watched Ninja Assassin which was fucking AWESOMEPIC!

The best part of this movie, Sho Kosugi. Any of you 80’s kids will recall he was a major part of old school Ninja movies. Fuck yeah, bad ass boss man. We watched the Flames beat the Wild 5-2 which was long over due, they Wild have really had Calgary’s number lately. One win over them though in 4 games or something does not bragging rights make. +1 MNwild, +1.

baby Zac Efron is all that and a bag of tostitos. (to gay men)

We tried to watch Percy Jackson and the Olympians The Lightning Thief (pic above)… that was…well… juvenile. I like fun movies but this movie was pretty much directed at twelve year old boys or retarded step children, or both. Point being, good luck watching it and taking shit serious. Even though you know it’s a fantasy movie and all, it’s just so… what in the fu… that you can’t get into it. Even Harry Potter is more believable than this shitflick. Just sayin, save your time, money, whatever.

So in closing, see Ninja Assassin, right now.

This last week was a blur. I was shooting Katie all week, doing videos, getting things lined up. This next week is GO GO GO in regards of getting her site built, checked, beta’d and in position so affiliates can start promoting and so people can start checking out the latest lovely to have her own website.

We’re really, really excited but I think Katie is most excited. She is really a sweet girl, I think you’re all going to love her to death. I have gotten so used to working with girls that just do the bare minimum, when I work with someone that busts their ass trying, it is so rare… I am almost always lost for words. Katie left me speechless. She was a blast to work with, she came prepared (ex girl guide) and she brought poses and facial expressions with her.

JD edit: Holy shit, I’m working with a second girl that actually knows what the fuck she’s doing? OMGOMGOMG (happy happy joy joy happy happy joy joy)

In the mean time, as I was wrapping shooting the other day, I snapped this photo from the patio. Nothing crazy, but it reminded me how great the day was and how lucky I am to have the life I do. A woman I love more than life itself and a job I love doing and I think I’m alright at. Fuck yeah!

This week will be busy… Katie’s website *should* go live Wednesday if not sooner. I will keep you posted.

Normally I would give a shit about Hillary “Why?” Duff getting engaged to her NHL player boyfriend Mike Comrie… but it was her after engagement pic that they paprazzi’s caught I thought was funny.

 
will you marry me?

OMGOMGOMGOMG YESSSSS!!!!!

Facebook my ring bitches!

ummm…

Hillary, once again blazing a trail for young ladies to follow when a guy asks you to marry him. Well, would ya look at that.

So today we go out shooting. We’re getting shots done and this car starts to come down the road… wtf? it’s a dead end and we’re at the *very end*, where the fuck are you going? When the car started coming our way, Bryci, being pantless at the time.. ran and jumped in our car and I went and popped the trunk, playing around like I was doing whatever, sort of seeing if the car was lost. I was hoping it’s turn around. Nope.

The car comes, it circles around us and parks on the side where we were shooting.

FU FU FU FU FU FU FU FU FU FU FU!!!!!!1!!

I go and talk to the lady that gets out of her car, camera in hand… how long she will be because we’re shooting for a modeling portfolio. She says, well I am here to take photos too, I don’t know how long I will be. Maybe I will take photos of you taking photos of her?

sigh.

What a bitch.

We left, ventured elsewhere to shoot. It was good too, the new stuff we shot was far hotter than the stuff we had been shooting. It turned out hot… here’s a sneak peak.

When was the last time you had a conversation with someone, where they were checking their cell phone txt messages at the same time you were talking? Even worse, they were responding to a txt while you’re talking to them. Has this ever happened to you? Are you that person that does this to others?

yeah yeah, one sec… updating my facebook status

I was getting inked the other day (it’s going great btw, thanks) and I had my cell in my hand. The artist is talking away when my phone vibrates because I had a msg from Bryci. Without thinking… I raise the phone up and start to read, all the while listening to him talk to me, as he inks my right arm.

What in the fuck is wrong with me?

I caught my error quickly, lowered my phone, apologized to him for being rude.

I think we’re in a world where people are very oblivious to those around them. ME ME ME seems to be the theme in most people’s minds. Not sure why that is, we went from being sort of polite to being downright rude and nobody seems to have noticed. Odd.

Myself, I like someone’s attention when I am talking to them, as I give mine when they are talking to me. Well, aside from that moment in the tattoo shop that is. When B starts to talk to me, when we’re in our office, I generally shift my chair to the side away from my screen so I can look at her as she talks to me.

Here’s the thing people… your txt will wait. That’s the point of a txt message and not a phone call. You get it and get back to it when you can. If the person was in HOLYSHITMUSTTALKNOW mode… they’d have phoned you. Captain Obvious says hello.

What won’t wait though, is that awesome impression you’re leaving on the other person by letting them know, to their face no less, that you think your txt is more important than them.

Don’t be that person, seriously. The world has enough ass clowns already, don’t be another. Just sayin…
