Happy Canada Day to all of my Canadian viewers! I developed a new found sense of pride in my country while I was at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver. I may not spend 100% of my time up here, but I always represent the red and white properly. I’m about to meet up with some friends to take in some of Canada’s finest offerings – beer and marijuana. I hope y’all enjoy the day off too!

Free Hugs.

I totally forgot to share this video with y’all after I got back from attending the Winter Olympics in Vancouver a few weeks back. I was on my way walking towards the Olympic Cauldron when I came across this group of Asian people with signs offering “Free Hugs’ – this EXTREMELY drunk dude decide to take them up on their offer. Hilarious.

Listen To This.

Listen to this entire audio recording if you have the time, if not, at least just listen to the last full minute! This is amazing – the dude was across False Creek in Vancouver recording the sound of the city and GM Place. When Canada wins gold in Mens Ice Hockey the city erupts into such cheer that as a whole it makes for a powerful noise.

Now imagine being there.

I had my Flip camera in my pocket everywhere I went over last weekend in Vancouver. I was downtown for the last 4 days of the 2010 Winter Olympics and got to experience some amazing things. Check out this video to see footage from various nightclubs, the Olympic cauldron, Robson Square, Granville street and the filled streets after Team Canada won gold in Mens Ice Hockey. It’s about 5 minutes long and well worth watching. I really enjoyed my Olympic experience.

My bad for not posting another update from Vancouver sooner. It has been crazy hectic here, I have never been involved in a more insane party. I am still laying in bed trying to recover from consecutive days of damage – my liver and my bank account took a beating haha! Today is my last day here, so I will see y’all in Montreal tomorrow!! I love it here, the weather is much warmer than out east & it was great to catch up with all of my friends. Check some random photos from my stay.

New Amsterdam Cafe.

The place in the last photo is called the “New Amsterdam Cafe” and it’s just a regular cafe serving food and drinks – but if you bring your own weed, you can freely smoke there. It’s pretty fucking awesome.

I flew into Vancouver yesterday afternoon – damn it feels good to be back to my birth city. The weather here is much warmer than Montreal…. so I am enjoying it regardless of the typical west coast rain. I took it fairly easy last night catching up with my older brother but from what I have seen already… this city is CRAZY right now. I can’t wait to get in on the action tonight. Look for lots of exciting updates from the festivities as I am here until Tuesday to be a part of it all! Anyways…. if you are here in Van City hit me up and let’s get sloppy. I will be attending this event tomorrow night so come out and party!

Team Canada is now on a roll with a big win over the Russians. This was a very exciting game to watch, the entire team played great and the crowd was amazing. We are either going to play Sweden or Slovakia in the next game and then (hopefully) USA in the gold medal game. Go Canada!

Hockey Is Canada's Game.


I am so excited to fly to Vancouver tomorrow to be a part of the Olympics and experience the atmosphere in the city, it really looks incredible.

I woke up today really excited. Tonight, one of the most important hockey games of the winter Olympics will take place…. Canada vs. USA. I can’t wait to watch the game – regardless of who wins it will be GREAT hockey. Hopefully we come out on top! Go Canada!

Red.

I don’t really have anything exciting to post right now so yeah – there’s a random photo for of me – I’m wearing red all day to show my support! Oh also… I went to the Red Bull Thre3style DJ competition on Friday night and had A LOT of fun! I met some great people and really enjoyed the night. Wait until you see the photos and video! Craziness.

Winter Olympics.

The 2010 Winter Olympic Games kicked off today in Vancouver, British Columbia so I figured I should probably acknowledge this – after all, I was born in Vancouver. The Olympics don’t really do much for me, but I have to say… I am totally STOKED to watch Team Canada play mens ice hockey. So yeah… how about some Canadian pride! Go Canada!

If you didn’t already know, I was born in Vancouver. I still frequent the city a lot and actually only relocated to Montreal from there about six months ago. I have traveled a lot and in my honest opinion, Vancouver is one of the top 3 most beautiful places in the world. Up there with Prague and Zurich on my list. With the 2010 Winter Olympics fast approaching, this time lapse video of the city has been released. Check it out for some truly breathtaking images.
