Update to Coming Soon.

MJ, Billy Mayes, EGM, and Fawcett have died.

The band has returned over $1k worth of bottles, with another $200 to come.

Lamb of God has played Calgary twice.

There will be no official QUADJ today.  Although many humorous things were said, they were indeed in poor taste.

On to more serious and debatable issues…

I come from a large family.  My Grandmother on my Mom’s side has 30+ grand kids.  I grew up going to many family events crowded with all sorts of people.  Gathering together with all varieties has made it pretty easy for me to disect people and get a taste of many different personalities and opinions.  It’s what helped me develop into who I am, and it’s probably one of the main reasons for why I place such high value in rational thought.  There’s many topics I can use my family as examples for, such as hypocrisy, religious corruption, trust, values, morals… the list goes on.  I’ve seen it all.  But today I want to discuss DRAMA!

I bring this up because it seems lately that all some people want to do is surround themselves with drama.  I personally avoid it like the plague.  Don’t like my hair?  My views?  My opinion?  Fuck off.  Did I accidentally snub you?  Not wish you a happy bday?  Not invite you somewhere?  Fuck off.  We all have important things to do; nobody is free from all responsibilities.  So why would you want to complicate your life and make it harder by adding drama.  It seems some people are just a moth to a flame when it comes to it too.  I’m too busy and too tired to deal with bullshit everyday, and if you don’t like something someone is doing keep it to yourself.  And if it bothers you so much that you need to do something about it, cut them out of your life.  Don’t start trouble, leave me alone.

Capiche?

Aside from TBM attending slayer, here is a little update of what is going on in Monkeyland:

2 new songs on the go, 1 almost done the other still in the planning stages, but it’s moving along quickly.

Also, we are working on a new cover to spruce things up.  Still too early to spoil the surprise though.

The Demo is coming along nicely, CD art is almost complete, and mixes are almost done.

Looking to do some photos and a video pretty quick here.  Anyone interested in helping out?

Dr. Awesome +1, Mitch +1.

SlayDeth is this weekend.  Saturday at the Dome.  See if you can find TBM running around.

Cuz: How much have you learned Yuri?

Yuri: I’ve learnt the chorus.

Dr. Awesome: Pick my nose!  Cherry Town!

Cigs: I thought it was make fun of Cuz day?

Dr. Awesome: He bribed us with rope lights.

Congratulations to our hero Jarome Iginla for taking home the Mark Messier Leadership Award.

As some people may have noticed, our main page has been “Coming Soon” for quite a while now.  Here’s a list of things that have happened since the site first said “Coming Soon”:

• The Pittsburgh Penguins and Detroit Red Wings have battled for the stanley cup… twice.

• Michael Phelps wins his 11th career gold medal, becoming the first athlete in Olympic history to do so.
• The Coalition Government Scare in Canada.
• Zhai Zhigang becomes the first Chinese Actor Astronaut to fake a spacewalk.
• Prop 8… ugh…
• more to come…

Yesterday was the unofficial pick on Cigarettes day, and it was glorious.

Cuz: Let’s try and hide from him when he shows up.

Yuri: We’ll have to hide somewhere he won’t look…

Cuz: Like the shower?

Dr. Awesome: I was thinking the job listings.
