My roommate Jacqui is moving to Toronto. She’s lived with me for a couple of years now and it has been really great. I’m going to be sad to see her go. Who am I going to watch/hate Gossip Girl with!?!
She's a big Zach Galifanakis fan.
Her coworkers got her a cake.
He only got my face. If you’re not familiar with Facehunter that might sound normal. The Facehunter should be after people’s faces right? Well you’re wrong. He’s famous for taking photos of nicely dressed people. I’m on his personal blog where the portraits are more about faces rather than clothes.
Facehunter = Clothes
Yvan Rodic = Faces
Got it?
My summer job requires me to travel a lot. I’ve spent most of the summer living in hotels/motels. You start to go crazy when you’re alone in strange places every night.

Oh boy. If you can’t get enough there’s even more pictures here.
Not pictured: Me making an uncharacteristic embarrassment of myself at the fire at the end of the video. There was vomit.
A little while back I wrote a song for a girl. I was going to release it as part of an EP entitled “Embarrassing Songs I Wrote for Girls”, but that probably won’t be happening right away so I thought I’d just release it now on its own.
The song is meant to be funny and sorta romantic I guess. I sampled the beginning of Taylor Swift’s “You belong with me” (that’s where the hilarious song title comes from) and messed it up a little bit. I thought the results sounded kind of like a Magnetic Fields song, so I tried to channel Stephen Merrit while I was writing the lyrics. I threw in the Bon Iver bit at the end because I needed an excuse to use auto-tune. It is so much fun to play with. It was really hard for me not to auto-tune the whole song.
Who is this girl? In the song I refer to her as “Internet Dream Girl” so she’s a girl I know mostly from the Internet. Let’s just leave it at that for now.
Did the song work? I suppose it served its purpose. See, this nice young lady doesn’t live in Winnipeg so I didn’t really have a shot anyways. I just wanted to… I guess let her know. She probably already knew, but now I know that she knows.
The song is a bit sappy but I’m a sappy guy. I hope you enjoy it.
