Why this..........thing for our Olympic Mascot?

Tue, 21 Jul 2009 01:13:57 GMT

Meet Quatchi. A Sasquatch that is suppose to be our Mascot for the 2010 Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver. It's a First Nation spiritual creature representing Canada.....

.....like HELL!

This thing is suppose to be Bigfoot?! It looks like some Asian knock off Teletubbies - Hello Kitty hybrid!
When it first came out, many people in film school did not respond so well to it.

So now, I demand VANOC to remove Quatchi, and put Chewbacca, the wookie as our Olympic Mascot.
I mean, at least people recognize and respect Chewie. If I presented Quatchi to someone from Eastern Europe, they wouldn't have a frakin clue what it is.

Message begins:
" Dear VANOC, I have been enthusiastic about the 2010 games since grade 12. However, after the creation of Quatchi, I was really turned off. Please replace Quatchi with Chewbacca the wookie before the end of 2009, or else I will leave Vancouver in February 2010 and not attend the Winter Olympic games......"

Artistic Curse

Mon, 06 Jul 2009 08:41:21 GMT

It all started with one phone call last week after my shift at Peak Performance. The Film Program coordinator phoned me up in regards of a film job with a summer hockey camp.

The job includes filming hockey players of all ranks ( some NHL level trainees), of them working out in the gym and doing wilderness / outdoors stuff out here in the Westcoast. By the end of the summer, I should produce a DVD with chapters and feature montage videos.

Grand, eh?

Well, a week passed, and I'm about to start the second week, and here I am having a hard time getting some sleep, because every time I lye down, I start thinking about the frame on my camera. Can't even relax. It's like I pressed record on my camcorder, and I'm filming this weeks event already.

Sleepless and artistically cursed. I feel like the needs of do something, yet there is nothing to create......

May long weekend in Whistler

Sun, 17 May 2009 02:13:18 GMT

No, I am not partying up there. I just passed my Wilderness 80 hour first aid course ( Also known as Wilderness First Responder.

Took me three times to get it all right. That includes the practical patient assessment exam and written exam. 86%! Frak yeah!

Should go see Star Trek 11, just to treat myself.

After the course, I went for a beer down at the Long Horn, and apparently today was the official opening day of the mountain biking trails. While drinking beer, the MTB event host started tossing freebies at everywhere. I wish he threw the $4000 duel suspension mountain bike at me; I got some ankle pads instead.

MAY LONG WEEKEND OF STAR TREK AND CLIMBING!!! FRAK YEAH!

Anti Valentines Day

Sun, 15 Feb 2009 06:37:16 GMT

Boycott, Anti, Against, whatever you want to call it. I finally stood up against this corporate hallmark holiday.

First, not only I wore black, but got in to my black Marines / SWAT team uniform and Tactical vest. A show of authority. Second, I made heart shaped spam. Third, I didn't spend a single penny today. Valentines Day is, like our society, based on consumerism. What a frakin load of commercial crap!

Love is like leadership in the outdoors, it's a 24/ 7 thing. Not just a day!

Call me crazy if you want. So is celebrating Valentines Day.

February 14th is SINGLE AWARENESS DAY.
The taste of being single frakker!( Taste like Spam )
