The Return from Tool

Alright to answer your first question, yes, the concert was fucking amazing! If God, Jesus, Moses and the Pope formed a band they couldn't even match Tool's greatness. I will let the Pilon Brothers to fill you in on the rest, I don't want you to hear the same story three times, four if you read Rob's blog. After arriving in Regina at 8:30 this morning, I drove to my brothers' apartment where I will be waiting for Jared to get off of work at 4:30. We left Calgary at around 11:30PM on Thursday, the trip there and back was pretty uneventful besides the many gay jokes, your mom jokes and sibling.. love? it was just a normal car ride.


The first night we drove about 7 hours then stopped in Brooks to set up camp. The next day we completed the trip to Calgary and went to the Calgary Zoo, like most trips to the zoo the animals usually don't do to much seeing as most lay around during the day. Zoo life might have made them lazier then being out in the wild, but for some animals there it is to perserve their dying species. I find I am in a hate and love relationship with zoos, they mean well by giving endangered animals a place to mate without the fear of having the species die out completely, not that they are the only places that do that. But the animals get to be gawked at by every hillbilly and slack jodd yokely in town and they slowly lose their sense of survival of the fittest mode of living. Yes, I know I was one of them, and yes some of my pictures were pretty good, but they shouldn't be on show like they were slaves for our enjoyment. Alright, maybe I am giving zoos too little credit, they do help animals, they do give them clear natural environments to live in, pretty much anything a wild animal could need plus more and all these things need to be paid for, why not help them care/ show off slave animals for your entertainment. Like I said, I don't know where I stand on the issue.


Oh ya, I guess we almost ran out of gas around Moose Jaw and the trunk stopped closing but both were avoided by Rob's preperations (he's like Batman that way) and Pilot's mad driving skills.

TOOL!

I just finished checking my car out for the road trip to Regina, I'll tell ya she ain't much to look at but she can still get me from point A to point B. If there was a time for me to go to point C, I would be royally screwed though. The reason for this trip to Regina , as some of you have guessed from the title, is to catch a ride from Rob Hillstead to go see TOOL! I would like to take this time to thank Rob for letting Andrew and I catch a ride up to Calgary, without him... I am not too sure what we would be doing to get to Tool.


On Monday I went down to the Gas Bar to grab some change for one of my co-workers. Kevin, my current boss, shows up on his motorcycle ans asks if I could get him some coffee from Tim Hortins seeing as he couldn't get it while he was on his motorcycle. So I bought the coffee with his money and brought it back to him. When I got back to the G bar some other guy was there, he looks at me and tells me to go into his truck and get his coffee so Kevin and him can drink together. I thought to myself, who the hell is this guy to tell me what to do? I leave and come back for my shift at 6 (it was 1:30 the first time I was there), turns out the guy who wanted his coffee was "my new boss". I have it in quotes because he doesn't take control till I quit, which will be on Sunday.

Break out your helmets, because Tony Jaa is coming to Theaters!

Tony Jaa (Panom Yeerum) has been making a name for himself as the ultimate action hero. As a child he would watch Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan and Jet Li movies and mimic their style of fighting. When washing his family elephant he would try doing back flips off the elephant into the water. His movies don't include any wire work or computer graphics (besides to make dramatic explosions). So when you see someone getting kneed off a motorcycle and having the helmet break, that was Tony Jaa being freaking amazing. So really the helmet I told you to break out wouldn't help anyways. To the point, on August 25th 2006 the Galaxy theater will be showing Tony Jaa's latest and greatest movie, The Protector(US)/Warrior King(UK)/Tom Yung Goong(thailand)/...Honour of the Dragon?(EU). I recommend that you pick up his first film Ong-Bak before you see this movie because the first one was tame compared to his second film.

Tony Jaa score 299 of out of 300 which is the number of henchmen that Tony Jaa crippled during this movie.
