Lets do the Bakatronix!

i really hate whats happenning to the world right now and i just dont mean politically…

…it’s the damned earthquakes.   i’m shocked at whats happenned in haiti and chile and more or less smaller sized earthquakes that we’ve been experiencing in pakistan. 

apparently the planet earth has experienced 350 earthquakes alone in the past week

i’m an earthquake survivor – at least thats what you can say from a technical stand point.  you see – i lived in the building opposite of margalla towers when it collapsed in the big earthquake of 2005.  at the time i was bed ridden with a back problem and hobbling on a stick praying that my building wouldnt not crash on me as well…

i can tell you that for a long time after that i couldnt handle being still… that the aftershocks that went on for a month gave me motion anxiety. that for years afterwards i couldnt handle watching my friends at in a play because i felt that my chair was shaking. 

of course… i had it better than most who survived an earthquake.  a lot of people lost their families, their homes and their most dearest belongings. i got away with a bit of chronic motion anxiety and temporary homelessness.

i have very strange dreams – theyre mostly about experiencing a natural disaster – about going on a journey with a group of people and finding a new place or haven to live in because our homes have been destroyed.  maybe it’s a side effect of the earthquake in 2005 but its been going on longer than that.

maybe we are going to experience a 2012 movie type situation.  maybe the world is ending and even rightfully so. the logical bit of me feels that well… it is illogical.  the bit of me that goes off hunches feel likewise…

… this could quite possible be the beginning of something far bigger.

I am seriously not looking to putting up our worst season since 1978.  I’ve been a fan for over twenty-five years and I’m finding it harder and harder. I know this is a rebuilding year and that we will probably be playoff-worthy in three years…

I just hope this works out.

I will truly miss Roy ‘Doc’ Halladay.  He is my all time favorite basbeball player and it’s painful to see him pitching for the Phillies… but I guess I will have to bear.  I will be rooting for the Phillies as my NL team like I normally do – theyre a working class team and play hard.

I just hope, like all jays fans that he will reach the playoffs with the Phillies. He wins the world series with them and comes back to the Jays once we’re competitive again.

Wishful thinking and all that…

blaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

I just left Trango Interactive after nearly six years of working there. As much as I miss it, I need to move on. I really do and needed to.

To say those years have been fruitful is an understatement. No period in my time has been fundamental in my overall growth as a human being as that and I look back and think of nothing but good and great things. All those beautiful people I worked with – I wish them the best. They were amazing and even more importantly, amazing to me!

It was an honor guys.

I’m currently working on a new project. I wish I could talk about it but it’s a bit old-school and totally something that has me buzzing. It’s short term but it’s a great new start. I will post some of the art once it’s published.

I’ve had a ball working on it so far.
