The mandem were outfitted in some clean Fred Perry for this party taking place very soon. Can't really spill the beans, but Black Beatles are playing a f*cking Grammy® nominated artist after party. WTF? <br />Yep. Gonna be kinda nice. June. That's all I will say right now. <br /><br />Wonder if my most recent diet + the good cycling has resulted in my fitting into a size small. Hmmmm?? Ladies, don't let the smooth taste fool you as I like to say. ;)<br /><br />Anyhow, I'm pretty pumped. <br /><br />H!Hzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17936317869507904331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17696104.post-18681789488730106732009-06-01T11:48:00.007-04:002009-06-01T15:10:35.236-04:00Getting My Heart-On (Fundraiser)Yea, I know x 2. <br /><br />It's been a while. Sorry. I've been spending all my time <a href="http://92bpm.com/">here</a>, whilst I've been contemplating massive redesign on this end. <br /><br />But, on another note....<br /><br />Many if not most of you know that I've been spending lots of my spare time cycling. Love the peace it's offered me along side the cardio that I'm getting from it. It's allowed me to remain full of vim and vigor, maintain my boyish looks as well as keeping a diver's body. LOL. Many of you on twitter know that I'm an ambassador of healthy and responsible diets, and that may have some play in it as well.<br />All of this however, has allowed me to take on a new challenge: <span style="font-weight:bold;">The Becel Heart+Stroke Ride</span><br />Did you know that heart disease and stroke is responsible for 1 in 3 Canadian deaths every year? Nuts. <br />So to help change the afore outlined statistic, I’m participating in the <a href="http://www.rideforheart.ca/faf/home/default.asp?ievent=296517" target=_blank>Becel Heart+Stroke Ride for Heart</a> on Sunday, June 7 2009. <span style="font-weight:bold;">This is a 50km ride!</span><br /><br /><img src="http://mymanhenri.com/tofxdvimgs/mayonnaise.jpg" width=400><br /><br />I'll mount the infamous W.O.W. aka white on white aka the Wowery (Giant Bowery) and ride the Holy Grail of bike paths in Toronto:<br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Gardiner Expressway & The DVP</span>.<br />What cyclist would pass up an opportunity to ride 50 KMS along this path?? Even more so, this will be for a great cause. <br /><br />I decided late to join and register, but no better time than the present. I have 6 days to raise what I think is an achievable goal of $600 CAD: 6 in 6. So, with an impassioned and wholehearted plea, I ask for your support. <br /><br /><font color="pink">You can find my donation page by </font><a href="http://www.rideforheart.ca/faf/r.asp?t=4&i=296517&u=296517-257661022" target=_blank>clicking here</a>. Enter a donation amount, and click continue. It can all be done in moments with a credit card. <br /><br />With a $5 donation from 100 ppl ($4.50 USD, 3£/€ for all my International friends) , I'll be close to reaching my goal. But I feel I can do better. <span style="font-style:italic;">(I'm sure hope our friendship is worth more than $5. And that's cheaper than most Toronto parking!)</span> In fact, if I can raise $1000, i'll cut off (or trim) what was formerly known as a beard, but has now become facial shrubbery. LOL.<br /><br /><img src="http://mymanhenri.com/tofxdvimgs/livefromdupont.jpg" width=400><br /><br />Regardless, I'll have a great time as I'll be riding with other members of the <a href="https://www.kintera.org/faf/search/searchTeamPart.asp?ievent=296517&lis=0&kntae296517=8069E669D50A40B5A3A6E4728A68855A&supId=0&team=3393551&cj=Y" target=_blank>fixed/single speed community</a> for an even greater cause.<br /><br />Look for updates on this one as time goes on. <br /><br />And thx again for your support, be it moral or monetary. ;)<br /><br />Wish me luck! I have less than 1 week. <br /><br /><img src="http://mymanhenri.com/tofxdvimgs/trackstand.jpg" width=400><br /><br />H!Hzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17936317869507904331noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17696104.post-15845289269123737722009-04-16T14:13:00.002-04:002009-04-16T14:19:52.019-04:00FINALLY!

WOW. That's a long drive where ever you are!<br />So now, I'm glad to announce the arrival of the 1st batch of tees:<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://mymanhenri.com/vimgs/1forma/formadukes.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="Make'em NV!"><img src="http://mymanhenri.com/vimgs/1forma/formadukes.jpg" width=400></a><br /><br /><br />Background: Maureen “Ma Dukes” Yancey, the mother of the late James “J Dilla” Yancey, is currently battling the same disease that took her son’s life. Dough from this tee goes to Ma Dukes. Long time Stones Throw friend Parra banged out the design. This one is getting snatched up left and right and is almost impossible to keep in stock. I was lucky enough to make something happen - big shouts to the Minister of Information @ <a href="https://www.stonesthrow.com/" target=_blank>Stones Throw</a>.<br /><br />In any case, they should be in stock @ the following store by end of day: <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Play De Record</span><br />357A Yonge Street<br />Toronto, ON M5B 1S1, Canada<br />(416) 586-0380<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;"><a href="http://slinkymusic.com/">Slinky Music</a> / MOOG</span><br />442 Queen Street West<br />Toronto, ON M5V 2A8, Canada<br />(416) 603-2600<br /><br />Get yours whilst you still can. <br /><br />MAKE 'EM NV!<br /><br />Say wrd. <br /><br />H!Hzahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17936317869507904331noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17696104.post-90968431544375628872009-02-17T13:52:00.003-05:002009-02-17T15:13:01.295-05:00SuperBowl Rings For AllSay wrd.<br /><br />On a pretty day riding, I dropped in none other than GDFT in YRKVL.

You know what I mean: paraphernalia, stuff, things like tees, mugs, pins, scarves, toques... There's so much of it, you actually cannot keep track of any of it, though <a href="http://www.viiphoto.com/detailStory.php?news_id=863" target=_blank>I did find this</a> to outline my claims.<br />As well, during the campaign for highest office, all candidates had made a pact that all familial matters would be positively be off limits, esp in light of the fact that Sen. Obama was father to two wonderful young girls named Sasha and Malia, and that attacks could be very traumatizing @ such a young age. <br />But what do you do when you have a <a href="http://mymanhenri.com/vimgs/obamadolls/thefam.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="The craziest reality show ever.... nuts">First Family</a> that's likely more popular than Wacko Jacko @ his prime, and the sweetest First Daughters?? If you happened to be the Oak Brook based <a href="http://www.ty.com/" target=_blank>Ty Inc</a>, makers of <a href="http://www.ty.com/BeanieBabies_home">Beanie Babies</a>, you jump all over it and put out 2 dolls of your own. <br />But wait. The dolls are both called <span style="font-weight:bold;">Sweet Sasha</span> and <span style="font-weight:bold;">Marvelous Malia</span>. And they're both slender and brown skinned and with brown eyes. But that's just all coincidence. Wink x2.<br /><br /><a href="http://mymanhenri.com/vimgs/obamadolls/obamadolls.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="This was a compete coincidence...."><img src="http://mymanhenri.com/vimgs/obamadolls/obamadolls.jpg" width=400></a><br /><br /><br />As we might say around these parts -<span style="font-weight:bold;"> must tek man fi fool</span>. <span style="font-style:italic;">Thinking</span> about putting out these dolls was inappropriate. Putting them out to market was sacrilegious and inexcusable. Again, Barack becoming a public official of the most highest ranking has come to realize that this is what you must face when in the public eye. But his daughters?? And being that this was a supposed coincidence (and that decision i assure you did not take place over night for anyone that even remotely understands manufacturing of retail goods), why would you not @ least opt for the blessings of the Obama family seeing that there's an uncomfortable parallel?? Well, they knew that the chances of that happening were around Less Than Zero. I guarantee they spent more time preparing PR statements to deal with the assured backlash than they did developing the dolls.<br />So, like a very caring mother should, Michelle Obama aka the Mom in Chief has <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2009/01/25/us/politics/25dolls.html?scp=1&sq=dolls&st=cse" target=_blank>denounced the dolls as inappropriate</a>. It's much worse than that. It has exposed what I think is obviously disgraceful and contemptible decision making that likely runs from the head of <a href="http://www.ty.com/" target=_blank>Ty Inc</a> and CEO <span style="font-weight:bold;">H. Ty Warner</span>, right down the ladder to the very staff in charge of R&D. <br />This was very simple. <a href="http://www.ty.com/" target=_blank>Ty Inc</a>, like the rest of the world was gripped by likely the most watched political race in the history of Presidential campaigns are taking advantage of the partisan frenzy that ensued. And, certainly, no one has even seen anything of the magnitude of the Obama campaign. So Ty Inc did it: Stooped to new lows in retail marketing. @ this point, somewhere in the trash must be the designs for Piper. Track. Willow. Trig and a pregnant Bristol Palin.... Yea right! <br />Feel equally as disgusted???

One that will be recalled throughout time and have ppl asking "Where where you when you saw it?"<br />After yrs of extolling the virtues of 1st <a href="http://www.nokia.com/" target=_blank>Nokia</a> phones and then the <a href="http://www.apple.com/iphone/" target=_blank>iPhone</a> handheld, witness history unfolded: <br /><br /><a href="http://mymanhenri.com/vimgs/barackberry/IMG_3799.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="I present to you the BarackBerry"><img src="http://mymanhenri.com/vimgs/barackberry/IMG_3799.jpg" width=400></a><br /><br />I finaly picked up my own: <span style="font-weight:bold;">The BarackBerry</span>. ;)<br />Following the early yrs of watching the <a href="http://na.blackberry.com/eng/" target=_blank>Wizards of Waterloo</a> release vers after vers of it's ubiquitous gadget, more widely know as the crackberry (and I do know a gang of crack heads), it took the most recent release to sway me to the <font color="black"> black</font> side: <a href="http://na.blackberry.com/eng/devices/blackberrybold/" target=_blank>The Bold</a>. No one does qwerty like RIM does. <br />But what sealed the deal was the <a href="http://www.markspace.com/products/blackberry/blackberry-sync-mac-software.html">Missing Sync</a>. A software app that will enable you to sync your Mac with the blackberry, flawlessly. That was all I needed to hear.<br />Nokia's OS was boring me, I was sick of tapping on my iPhone's screen (even though I still think it's likely the best handheld) and the resolution on the Bold is bananas. Oh yea, PIN'ing is tight as well. <br />Would you believe that in the time that I wrote this, I received an email alert: <a href="http://www.wirelessweek.com/article.aspx?id=165646" target=_blank>Nokia's sales are plunging</a>, @ the same time Apple reports <a href="http://tinyurl.com/7aupoo">better that expected sales</a>, amidst this economic slump. Nokia needs to release this <a href="http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=aFKyAMQPbmI" target=_blank>beta soon</a>. <br />Anyhow, welcome to Qwerty Qalamity v2.

I was going thru some older folders and I just stumbled on a classic shot: <span style="font-weight:bold;">my</span> old apt in QB (click to zoom)<br /><br /><a href="http://mymanhenri.com/vimgs/hotmess/totalmess.jpg" rel="lightbox" title="This is like Katrina came. Circa 2005 I'll say"><img src="http://mymanhenri.com/vimgs/hotmess/totalmess.jpg" width=400></a><br /><br />Yes: <span style="font-weight:bold;">my bedroom</span>. I can't believe that I actually lived like this for a hot min. Nuts. But is it really?? Do you mean to tell me that no one @ any moment ever had a lazy week? month?? I had roomies @ this point in time, but that mattered none really.<br />So to commemorate a lazy point in history, I'm running a contest: <br /><br /><font color="#aadd99"><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Hot Mess Contest.</span></font><br /><br />Send me your hottest mess: whether it be your car, your desk (work or home), any room in your house/apt (though I shudder to think you can top mine), anything. Don't be afraid to put your friend(s) on blast either and blow-up their spot by submitting for them. I figure this could be like an episode of <a href="http://www.aetv.com/intervention/" target=_blank>Intervention on A&E</a>. You'll just have to be slick with the digi. ;). All you vinyl DJs (if they still exist), all you Nike heads... and you ladies with all your shoes in the closets... I can see it now. <br /><br /><font color="#aadd99"><span style="font-weight:bold;">The Rules</span></font><br /><br />So the rules are simple: submit a decent sized shot (<span style="font-weight:bold;">800x600 is minimum</span>) of your hot mess. And pls, nothing staged. You can email the photo here: <font color="#99aadd">mymanhenri (at) hotmail (dot) com</font> . You can have multiple entries (but if you do, wow. I'll have to wonder about you still). Make sure to put HOT MESS CONTEST in your subject line and send whatever name you want to be listed as.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Deadline is Friday Jan 23rd</span> @ Midnight EST. A week sounds like enough time, no? The winner will be announced <span style="font-weight:bold;">Monday Jan 26th</span>. That will give me the weekend to LMAO and confer with the judges.
