neon bible
So... today involved a little bit of shopping.
I already let you all know how much i love BRIGHT NEON COLOURS!
I already let you all know how much i love BRIGHT NEON COLOURS!
So, I went to one of my favourite stores in all of Peterborough, just around the corner from my apt... "Flavour Fashions"
It was there I bought a new T-shirt from Obey, and a pair of Mercury sunglasses. God bless the Employee of the Month bonus I got!
And So I decided, that if I'm taking pics of New clothes, I should show you two of my Fav BRIGHT shirts. A Leche T from last summer, and one of my 4 pieces of Teenage Millionaire Apparel. I have a Black T, A bright Blue Hoodie, and this beast...
A final T i thought I'd share is from a collective out of Montreal labelled "Garbage". They are all one of a kind, and this one has some awesome purple metallic silk screening. I don't wear it so much because the black faded really bad, But it's still a favourite...
And in closing... I went to a thrift store while I was off work, and I found, the most perfect vintage 80's sweatshirt. The perfect Neon sample. The best part is the price. It was only $1.00!!! It's in Excellent condition, not faded, not stained or torn, as if someone bought it, or was given it and was too fearful that they couldn't pull it off. It is a little small, but I could not pass it up. It is the crown jewel in my Neon collection.
Jealous? You know you are!

DAY GLO
So, the long voyage of ceaseless work is coming to an end. The new work schedules will be up tomorrow, and based on the contracts for functions, I think I may be able to get 48hrs in a row off work. This is very exciting news, yet, I honestly feel like I could keep on doing this. I've worked 25 days in a row so far, and will finish with 28days and 33 shifts thanks to pulling a few double shifts. I am broke again, but have only received half this pay, and have all of my bills up to date. My debt is shrinking, and my mood is lifted in that knowledge.
In other news, I've started a facebook group called "Neon is the New Black". I did this because last summer, I bought a couple of T-shirts, and one pair of shorts that were REALLY brightly coloured. I got a lot of compliments on them. Now yesterday I went shopping and saw a decent amount of bright neon colours in several stores. As always, I am ahead of the curve (lol). So based on my past experience, Neon is going to be huge next year. And who doesn't want to be avant-garde with their clothes, even if just a little bit. So if I haven't invited you to join, JOIN!
I read a lot of fashion blogs, subscribe to or read a tonne of magazines, and seriously was offered a "cool hunter" position at a marketing firm one summer. I turned it down for more hours and because of my inability to travel around with ease. From "The Sartotialist" to GQ, Fashionista and Hel Looks. I am vain and obsessed, but imagine how good you feel when someone compliments you... that is addictive. I don't live for it, or obsess (too much) over it. But I put thought into what I wear, be it at home, at the gym, hanging out with friends, or at a club.
In related news, I bought new jeans. Down another pant size. They're a bit snug, but within a week or so, they'll fit alright I've been gym slacking as of late. Eating right, but maybe only going once a week. I love the fit of them. I'd been searching for good jeans for about 2 months... all of mine are getting too ragged for me, 2 having holes worn in them in, erm, inappropriate places. I would have replaced them sooner, but didn't want to spend money if I was going to keep dropping weight. I'm plateauing for now, and close to a weight I like. I originally wanted to get down to 190lbs, but I think that would be WAY too skinny. I'm 6'3" and pretty fit. If I'm 230lbs and looking pretty good now (a regular at the cafe who doesn't know me before and bigger insists I'm not fat. He's funny for a creepy old dude), losing 40lbs would be overkill. i think 215-220 will be good, and is still in my healthy BMI range. I'm finally in my healthy range now. First time since twelfth grade. (FYI: 180-240 is my range... 60lbs is a hella big range I think)
But anyways... that was a big self-indulgent post.

it lives...
because of working late,
no plows running,
all that snow,
and sketchy cab service,
the beard lives another day...

the last week...
I got a letter in the mail from Holly, I miss that girl like fucking crazy. But Aussie is treating her well, so I just have to be accepting and happy for her. A really nice letter, made my day.
Then Steph and I descided a drive to Oshawa for Mandarin dinner was in order last Wednesday.
So I brought my eating pants. Also known as Jeans from 3rd year, now 5" too big. :)
Then my boss and I went to the CFBA (Canadian Restaurant Food and Beverage Association) Expo at the Direct Energy Center. I had a tonne of fun and networked through a lot of vendors and suppliers. Plus, the free samples put any grocery store to shame!
And finally, It is so slow here at work tonight, that not only am I online, but I made a puppy out of styrofoam cups and painters tape.9 more days until I have a day off work.
