This has to be the oddest cute animal video I've ever seen. - John.

 

Belledune Days

At Karaoke and Nacho Night Chris Grant and I did some singing... I know, I know, don't quit our day jobs.

Nazareth

Nazareth came and left Bathurst and put on a great show... no doubt about it.  3100 screaming people under a giant tent and an amazing and electric atmosphere.  There was one thing missing.  A little love back from Nazareth. 

In the past, (including this year) bands like Trooper, Loverboy and Streetheart would take pictures and sign autographs for their fans.   Sometimes even party it up in the tent with everyone.  I remember the Stampeders signing a stack of LPs one fan brought in from his vintage collection.  So, Where was Nazareth during all this?  Well, they were cocooned in their trailer away from their adoring public.  No autographs, no pictures, no acknowledgement of the people who helped make them famous.  Very sad.   

  It only reminds me of Tony Bennett's great line... "Treat every show as if it's your last, and take nothing for granted". 

 

Improv

Chris Grant and I had so much fun last Saturday with the Chaleur Improv League.  None of us... had ever done Improv before but it was so much fun.  Plus we were able to raise money to the MS Society and The Bathurst Women's Shelter.  A Huge thanks to Francois Foulem for organizing the event... as well as Denis Foulem, Cedric Comeau, Jeff (Jamal) Poirier, David Doucet and Nathan Dimitroff.

Flag Controversy- One Dude's Take

"I Promise Myself" By Christian D. Larson

Thanks to my Dad who sent this to me...
I PROMISE MYSELF . . . .
 
To be so strong that nothing can disturb my peace of mind.

To talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person I meet.

To make all my friends feel that there is something worthwhile in them.

To look at the sunny side of everything and make my optimism come true.

To think only of the best, to work only for the best and to expect only the best.

To be just as enthusiastic about the success of others as I am about my own.

To forget the mistakes of the past and press on to the greater achievements of the future.

To wear a cheerful expression at all times and give a smile to every living creature I meet.

To give so much time to improving myself that I have no time to criticize others.

To be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble.

To think well of myself and to proclaim this fact to the world, not in loud words, but in great deeds.

Live With Regis & Kelly

Had a chance to meet Ryan Tedder from One Republic recently during the taping of Live With Regis & Kelly.  In case you don't know of Ryan he's written big hits for Kelly Clarkson, Beyonce, Katy Perry, Leona Lewis & Rihanna to name a few.  The show was really well done and I came away very impressed with the chemistry on statge between Regis & Kelly, especially Kelly Ripa who has a wicked sense of humor and really worked the crowd well.  A couple pics with Ryan Tedder & i discussing songwriting & one of Regis cooling off in the heat here. Enjoy

Lost Hair Weekend

Yesterday I got hot and my hair was really bugging me so i took matters into my own hands, or should I say hair clippers.  If you were driving around Beresford and saw a dude shaving his head on his front step, yup that was me.  Here's the result.
