Amanda's My Winnipeg

Guy Madden, a Winnipegger and obscure film director, recently released a black and white docu-fantasy called " [more...]aY9BtROpNQ4" target="_blank">My Winnipeg." Filled with half truths and half lies, he shows the history of Winnipeg and his attempt to escape the city by 'filming himself out the place.'Amanda is a sassy Seattelite who, around the same time as I, moved to Winnipeg and we became friends. She wanted to make a video for her parents birthdays (5 days apart), as she was unable to make it back to Seattle this year to celebrate. I have wanted to make a video about my life in Winnipeg since I first moved here and fell in love with the city, but I never had the drive, the purpose, to follow through. Amanda gave me that purpose. Since we travel in similar circles, I feel like this is my video of Winnipeg, and my friends, to all of you. While the tour of her apartment isn't my own house, and her hot boyfriend isn't mine either, all of the places we show are special to me and leave me in awe of this great city. Call yourself Mom or call yourself Dad and enjoy Amanda's My Winnipeg.

Goats Do Roam

Reading the story on my "Goats Do Roam" bottle of wine.

River Walk River

Amanda and I spent the day wandering around Downtown Winnipeg and the Forks Market. The river has recently risen over it's banks and the walk way tha [more...]t follows the Assiniboine down to the Forks. That did not deter us from enjoying the river walk and catching some of the sights and sounds of Two Rivers.

Man nearly kills his new bride

The event that was opening the groomsmen gifts the day after the wedding.

And in case you missed my awesome poem:

the having, [more...] />the holding,
the new life unfolding.

the cleaning
the scrubbing
the plumbing unplugging.

I got them a pressure washer.
