I got a package from my friend Malena in Australia! What in the world could it be?

It’s the issue of Harper’s Bazaar featuring love-of-my-life Kelsey from Australia’s Next Top Model!

A big thank you to Malena for enabling my ~~obsession~~ love.

Business Card

I’m going to New York city during fashion week. I’m very excited about that.

When I was in Paris during fashion week everyone would give me their card or ask if I had a card I could give them. So this time I want to have a card ready, you know, for social climbing purposes.

I also noticed that people’s job titles tended to be somewhat aspirational. If you want to be a stylist, you put stylist on your card. Now the question is: What is my job title?

Do I go for something funny? Something technical-sounding which will convince girls that I’m smart? Something accurate?

Some options I’m considering:

Actor
Entertainer
Vlogger
Computer Scientist
Electronic Engineer
Inventor
Hair Model

I haven’t even thought about the graphic design yet. Any tips?

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.

So I am in a picture with this lady…

Which pretty much means I sat one chair away from Michael Kors. Two from Heidi.
