4.28.12 | Pretty pictures

Had my first photo session for some headshots this weekend. Went smoothe, but I was kinda nervous and I didn't make it clear to my photographer friend what I needed. Got some nice shots though, just gotta work on finding the right looks.
Looking much better than I did a year ago, but we're not quite there yet. Gotta keep up the workout routine and good eating habits and the next session will have me looking even better!

Gallery of preliminary shots should be up soon. Stay tuned!

12.23.11 | Gut... I WILL CONQUER YOU!

The gym is my friend... The gym is my friend... The gym is my friend... and he's gonna help me kick your ass gut! Yeah, that's right, I'm talking to you. You're trying to hide, but you're still there... lurking... waiting... laughing...
What happened to all of your friends gut? They're dead... that's right, I WON! They put up a good fight, but in the end they were no match for the power of one.

Mark my words gut: your days are numbered!

10.25.11 | Big bad Jack Frost is breathing down my neck!

The good ol Canadian Winter will soon be upon us! Got to make sure to stay motivated and keep up the healthy habits I've been adopting this past year and a half! Got 20 lbs to lose before I can get them back in muscle; gym membership is on the way in 2 weeks... Need to finish getting back in shape so I can get my headshots done and start the search for an agent! If you know me, you know how hard I've worked for this, so if you see me slacking, SMACK ME! Gotta make my family and myself proud and make something of myself!
And this is only the beginning!

9.17.11 | I'm getting pretty good at this...

The past year and a half has been a quest to better myself, mentally, emotionally and physically. Eating better, feeling better about myself and getting back into shape. Today was the latest milestone in the physical department, I managed to run 9K in just over 50 minutes! 10K is just around the corner! Just gotta make sure to keep eating right, maybe even a bit better because the morning after the 9K, I woke up and felt like I was going to faint. So I know I CAN DO 9K, which means I can probably do 10, but I just gotta make sure not to die afterwards!

7.31.11 | Way to raise your kids buddy!

Why is it always customers who have children, are the worst behaved? "Here sweety, this is how you get your way in life: Act like a moron, insult the manager and even though you know you're being a cheap little bastard and a complete a-hole, don't drop your 'argument' until they get annoyed and give you what you want (not deserve) so they can get back to being productive." A+ father-of-the-year!

7.11.11 | Site up and voice demos available

My first voice demos are up for you to listen to! Bear in mind that these are not commercials I actually recorded for companies, they are just my interpretation of existing television advertisements. Someday commercials and voice work I actually got paid for will be available here. Give 'em a listen and let me know what you think!
