Rain rain go away

Lately the weather here has been oddly tropical, with rain/thunderstorms becoming a daily routine. Tonight was particularly energetic.

Dinner Plans

Tonight at eight o'clock: Aashna, hello saskatoon crew and I are going to Saskatoon's New Island all you can eat sushi. The few of us had made plans last week, so this should be great. I will hit all of you with pictures of a fun little evening.

Fake Bake Gone Wrong

Yesterday after my work out I decided to go for a tan, since we have had basically no summer so far. After doing ten minutes in the tanning bed, everything seemed fine until later that night. I finally figured out that I was completely burnt, very sore, and was not going to have a good night sleep. With my thighs getting hit the hardest, it hurts to even touch them! As of today the pain has gone down a bit, but the redness is still in affect. I'll give it another day or so until I fully recover. Should of only done seven minutes...

Class Scheduling

All of that class scheduling. My first term schedule is almost completely different then what it was planned to be. I can deal with it though.

The Roots pt.2

Like Ryan said, last night we saw The Roots at the Saskatoon Jazz Festival. Fortunately I had my camera on hand again to take some videos. I may take amateur-as-shit videos/pictures but it's all good! This will be a cross blog post as I'll be posting the finished thing on my other site Inno (shameless promotion), but in the meantime it's a HELLO SASKATOON EXCLUSIVE haha.

Sometime into the show Black Thought started to rap with The Roots crew's bongo drummer highlighted as a dope hype man. He didn't have a mic but he did the job better than I've ever seen live. The show was great and it was undoubtedly worth the $40. I have a few other videos of some dancing + random ish, You Got Me, and Get Busy.

Check back later.

The Roots

Today the plan was to go to The Roots with Aashna. While planning everything out, JJ had got a ticket and was able to come along with us. The show was supposed to start at five, but this was only because there were two opening bands who each got to play for a long period of time. The Roots really started at 8:45, the three of us had decided to go to the mall.

JJ had seen Questlove leave the Bes when he heard girls say "Hey that's the guy from The Roots with the pick!" We had also saw the tuba player j-walking, on the way to Midtown. When we got there, the mall was just closing so we had to leave. When we got outside it had started raining hard with strong gusts of dust. We decided to go home, it was around six o'clock by this time and we had completely missed my sister's birthday which we could have attended. At my house we ate cupcakes, pizza and played Street Fighter 4.

At eight we headed back to the show. It was amazing, other than the stench of marijuana, tall guys in front and people who elbowed Aashna in the face! At the end of the show, JJ got Questlove's autograph and I had shook Black Thought's hand. Aashna and I really have to make going the Jazz Festival an annual routine!

Bike Incident

My first time ever on a motorcycle today. I rode Dallas's CBR and broke off his clutch handle. I panicked while riding and slammed the front brake. Shit that sucked.

I sound real stupid asking about gears and shit. I think the funniest part about the video is that the whole time I know that this is just a bad idea.

Thanks for forgiving me D.
