My final day at Prov…
With tomorrow being the day I finally move everything (for the last time) off campus, I’ve been doing a little reflecting on my time here in College. This is where I started recording my life and uploading it in video format for the internet to see. And nothing sums up my life over the last 3.5yrs better than this video :P
This was for an assignment to see how much / what kind of garbage I produced within a weeks time.
Trapped at a desk, glued to my computer, with enough caffeine to power a shuttle. It’s weird to think of how much of my time has been spent reflecting inwardly while studying about the outward effects life has on us. I can’t wait to dump out my boxes and pour over everything!
Sidenote: I’ve been toying with the idea of turning my notes into some kind of zine, or guidebook for future students…thoughts?
Jonny’s Java: The First Store
Not a lot of JJ fans know that there have been previous “locations” where one could grab a cup (or bag) of bean and/or leaf water.
I remember, years ago, having to go directly to ol’ Jon’s house. His closet would be stocked high with bags of coffee beans that had been roasted in Winnipeg. After Andy joined the team they had a mini-kitchen setup in his basement, where my friends and I would often spend weekends watching movies and sampling different drinks.
The mall store marked several occasions; the “legitimacy” of the company, the fruition of a dream, and start of a town-wide movement. Since it’s opening I’ve had remarkable conversations with WinkCity dwellers whose idea of what the City should “be” have…grown up…would be the best way to describe it.
I’m making a big deal about it, because these are some of my oldest friends. And while this chapter of their lives has closed to focus on another, their success in it means a lot to me!
Check out more photos from the opening/closing [here]
Longboard artwork for a friend…
- Oriental/surfer vibe…since it’s the closest he’ll get to shredding waves in the prairies.
- “Death Before Decaf” in banners…he runs a coffee shop.
- Had to go with a different wood-finish that caused the ink to bleed slightly :(
- Kept a simple black line artwork instead of color because I really like the woodgrain, and wanted to keep that as the focus of the board.
In the end he gave me free reign to challenge myself with something new. I’m not happy the ink bled, but what’s done is done. Myself and the customer are both happy with the design…and that’s what matters!
drrt.
So I Got Rear Ended…
It’s boxing day, my friend Curb is out, we’re gonna enjoy some breakfast and pwn n00bs.
So we’re sitting in the McDonalds drive-thru when some idiot in a truck drives into me! We all hop out, he looks totally freaked. Luckily there’s only a small scratch in the bumper nothing major, but the guy’s passenger losses it and blurts out “we’ll pay ya $50”. I’m thinking “I don’t even care about this scratch!” but I want to get out the growing lineup so I agree and move on.
I drive up to the first window to pay for my food, but there’s no one there, so I pull up to the next. The lady says “you can’t pay at this window go back” which obviously I CAN’T so I go inside and make my way through the horde of people (who are now angry because they think I’m cutting in line). She hands me the food, apologizes, and states that the truck behind me paid for my food *ding*
So, I follow the rear ender to the nearest ATM…follow him inside…and he explains how he (the passenger) was showing the driver something on his phone, which caused him to not pay attention where he was driving. Idiots. He hands me the money and literally runs out the door. Ps: he handed me $60, not 50 haha.
Good ol’ Curby and I then went and bought Battlefield 3 and coffee. Food, coffee, and n00bs to pwn all for free…day = made.
The moral of the story is; if you live in Winkler chances are you’re an idiot behind the wheel.
Finally had a day off to work on some designs…
I was asked to do the cover art for a local bands album, and a friends business is looking to make some sweet hoodies!
Sooo after I was done I had some spare time to ink a personal project I’ve been meaning to finish :)
![Christmas Holidays [2011] Week 1
I think this post to Instagram sums it all up nicely. Lots of food, Skyrim, and Jonny’s Java. Highlights thus far: Taking my mom to the [symphony] our family [gathering] checking out a couple [concerts] and seeing old [friends]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwkgsxaSl31qzzuj8o1_500.jpg)
I’ve become infamous on Instagram for posting photos of my breakfast, well, here’s the first one…
notice the lack of bacon!

“SPILLING THE BEANS”
I got the opportunity to spend the evening at a coffee tasting session held by Jonny’s Java in Winkler, MB. with my good buddy Beargen.
Such a fun night; sipping different brews, sniffing beans, deepfried cheesecake log desserts, and a very informative Q&A section. I think if anyone in the area is interested in learning not only more about coffee, but about JJ as a company and why they do what they do, you should definitely check it out.
Tonight we tackled Burundi; it was interesting to hear everyones different reactions to the blend. I found it at times very fruity and sweet, and other times it was like a head of lettuce smacking me in the taste buds.

Jonnys Java is now open for business in Winkler, MB!!!
We (the public/friends/family) myself included, have been waiting a looong time for this day! Honestly I was kind’ve hoping it would happen on a weekend so we could have a big opening day celebration (that I could be a part of hehe) but I understand how after so long the boys would wanna open now :)
Can’t wait to get home tomorrow and spend noon hour with a smoothie…or latte…or whatever blend they have brewing. Oh MAN home just got that much sweeter!
(via observando)
Good morning!
