In the foreground is my new favorite drink (since this shift) and in the background is where it comes from… 42 Overlea Blvd. which, when I read that on the side of the bottle, my eyebrows shot right up because I’ve driven by there so many times.  

See, next week is “I chase after sponsorships for this here show” week, and they’re on my list.  They even have a little form on their website inviting people like me to sell to them, which I think is pretty great.  

I have a list of approximately 30 companies to send letters to, seeking help through both in-kind and cash.  If you have any any advice or thoughts please leave a comment below because basically, I’m winging it.

That’s my mailbox there at the top.  See how it’s right next to the floor?  That’s because I got one of (if not the) last ones in downtown Toronto months ago.  If ever you would like to write me, please do here.

Tried this last night; it’s wheatgrass from Booster Juice – Canada’s largest juice and smoothie bar.  They cut growing grass, shove it into that machine and you drink what gets squished out.  

I wouldn’t say the taste is delicious BUT see what a little bit of it is equivalent to?  Goodbye stupid salads!

What a great gift eh!  It’s from the same guy who sent me this.  Thanks little man, a LOT.  

It’s a pirate-robot-ninja and I wore it to a parkour meet tonight, one that I could not get into. Instead I kicked around and did some filming on behalf of someone who’s making a demo-reel to audition for a commercial that needs parkour people.  

If you’re interested let me know and I’ll find out the details for you; act fast though, apparently half the city is applying and the deadline is soon.

* as I typed that I realized I need to check my other mailbox; there might be a gross of both gum and vaseline waiting for me.
