Routine? What routine?

Usually, all it takes for me is a few cocktails to break out my dancing shoes. That’s not to say I can’t dance unless I have a few in me, but I’m 99% positive that I am a better dancer when I do. 100%, even. Lately, the extent of my dancing has been the last …

Scenes from around Lethbridge

The venerable Jamie Vedres, whom I mentioned previously, has graciously allowed me to re-post some photos he took of downtown buildings. I like this guy’s style.

Any cougars out there who want to buy this for me? Jamie Vedres Photography JonnyI’m a webslinger located in Lethbridge, AB. I love …

Show us your Lethbridge!

I’ve been too busy playing with Lego lately, trying to make a Rube Goldberg machine that will shave my face and brush my teeth while I sleep. I still got a few kinks to sort out, but at least for now I have the smoothest legs and shiniest toenails ever. Since I haven’t taken a …

I swear, I only go for the fashion designs

Like I’ve said before, I’m quite fashionable. This spring, I forecast that the “urban barrel” will take Lethbridge by storm in all this season’s hottest colours. That is, if we ever get away from this cursed snow! But surely things will heat up Saturday night, as Lethbridge College’s Fashion Design & Marketing students hold their …

Salsa is spicy

Henotic Salsa MondaysNot many people know this, but I once had a short-lived career as a Salsa dancer. Yes, it happened about a year after I gave up figure skating. I thought, “My feet cannot betray me.”

And I was right, both left feet stayed true. The same cannot be said for my ex-partner, Luciana. She was beautiful; her body flowed smoother than this expensive whiskey. But alas, Felipe, one of my many my rivals, stole her away from me. He won her with chest hair and championships, neither of which could I ever attain.

But fate not always be so unkind. No, one does not need a dance partner to take part in Henotic’s “Salsa Mondays.” All you need is a burning passion.

Cheaper than Blockbuster

Karla informed me that the ULFC is holding a 12-hour film marathon this Saturday. The goal of the marathon is to raise enough funds to grow their film library, so that members have access to all previously screened films. We are asking participants to get themselves pledged to watch films! Asking family, friends or colleges …

Saturday shots

If there’s one thing I enjoy, it’s stalking people watching. So when some friends invited me to the Home & Garden Trade Show, I jumped at the opportunity (with secret hopes that I would run into a certain someone). Instead, I just saw this guy. He looked very relaxed, so I blamed a fart on him and went on my way, taking photos of other random folks.

Saturday shots

Wait, Saturday…and it’s only now Tuesday?! Yes, I’m getting pretty bad, aren’t I? Well a man gets busy trying to track down his money.

Saturday was a beautiful day to break some knees, and my friend Dione was all up for it. We went to the industrial park and shot a few things before drinking a few beers in her backyard, listening to the Chickadees sing. Then Sunday came with its wintery death. Good thing I stayed in that day.

Some say party, we say “RD!”

Every city has a scene – some are bigger, some are badder but all a reflection of what that city/town/rural meet up is. Lethbridge, typically thought of as a conservative town, has an incredible “scene.” From Endangered Ape to The Turncoats; The Darby and Joan Club to the Chief Mountain and the White Guy; we have got it all. There is an interesting dynamic here in Lethbridge. We have a ton of musical artists, many who play in several bands, some who play in almost all. A changing face almost every month, projects and sub-projects appear and disappear. There are a few people who really drive it, you can usually tell who these people are in any city. Certain distinguishing marks set these go getter’s out.

Sunday shots

Sunday was my grandfather’s birthday, so besides taking some family photos, I took a few shots around their garden. Then I met up  with my friend and former co-worker, Dione. She was fired on sexual harassment charges, but I personally liked having the attention. She has this Nikon and was itching to take some photos with me. So we took to the hills in her Jeep!

An Explosion Of World Dance and Music

If there’s one thing I don’t like, it’s half-naked dancing women. It’s not fair – I’m focusing really hard on my two-step, but they’re all “looking hot” and distracting me! Well, next time I’m gonna wear my mesh t-shirt…then we’ll see who’s bringing sexy back! So every once in a while, I prefer to just …
