Welcome Back! (Ma$e and GC)

After 27 days, 3 weddings, 3 marriage proposals, countless sightings of attractive women, 2 servings of homemade chocolate chip cookies, 0 days of job hunting, and one major disappointment- GC is finally back in his hometown of Windsor, and let me be the first to say it SUCKS to be home. I used to dislike Windsor before I left, but after coming back from being in Vancouver for a month, dislike has turned into resentment.

What's Your Beef Bitch?

 


My trip was amazing though- my cousin’s wedding was really nice; I got to see all the sights, met family I didn’t know I had, visited friends, and hung out with some cool people. I was lucky in the sense that the whole time I was there the weather was beautiful and it only rained 2 days. While I was there I basically went all over the place. I visited a lot of touristy sites such as Whistler, Victoria, Shannon Falls, Queen Elizabeth Park, Stanley Park, White Rock Beach, Abbotsford’s Gravity Road, Mount Baker (in Washington State), lots of really beautiful Gudwara’s (Sikh temples), and other places I probably can’t remember right now. Even when we weren’t busy sight-seeing, my cousins were nice enough to give me the keys to one of their cars so that I could use it whenever I wanted, to go wherever else I wanted. I even got to chill with Sabrina and Jag (Vancouver Jag who is female- not to be confused with Michigan Jag who is not-so-female)! I stayed at my cousin’s place in Delta- but they live basically on the borderline right next to Surrey (where all the Indians live). In the area I was staying in there were so many Indian people that it was pretty rare to see more than a few white people each day- which is the polar opposite of Windsor, where its rare to see more than a few Indians each day. If I’m lucky enough to find a decent job there- I think I’d seriously move out West- just for the scenery, weather, and attractive women alone. You can find more details about my Vancouver trip and the photographs I took by checking out the photo album which should be coming soon. Thanks to Oeun for driving me up to Toronto to catch my flight to Vancouver after my jeep died the day before I was suppose to leave! Also thanks to Amy for picking me up from TO.

I’ve been pretty busy since being back in Ontario. Thursday, the day I came back, I went to a birthday party for Nia at Ayman’s restaurant- happy 24th Nia!! On Saturday I was off to Toronto again (I landed in Toronto from Vancouver and had to drive back to Windsor) for my cousin Bal’s wedding. It’s amazing that Bal got married! This is because Bal is my cousin that for a while there seemed like he’d be a player forever. I’m happy for him though- his wife is really beautiful, and she seems like a nice person. Congrats Bal! Sunday I was off to Gen’s Jack and Jill Baby Shower. It was surprisingly fun. There was alcohol, cake, balloons, chicks, and prizes- just like my 12th birthday! Congrats to Jay and Gen! Baby Liam is due in September. Liam is a pretty cool name- definitely way better than Gwyneth Paltrow naming her baby Apple. If Gwyneth’s next child is a boy will she name him Orange?

One of those Olsen Twins is in rehab for what’s officially being called an eating disorder, but tabloids are calling a cocaine addiction. As Michelle from Full House used to say- “You’re in big trouble MISTER!”. What would Danny, Uncle Jesse and Uncle Joey say? In other news, they still look like twin chimpanzees that have escaped from the zoo.

In other Olsen twins news, Salman is on the South Beach diet. He won’t be satisfied until he has the body of Mary-Kate.

Britney Spears has a new music video where she pretends to kill herself. I was upset that it was just pretend- what a fucking tease. Here’s a question- why does Britney Spears still exist? Most of us have traded her in for the younger, more attractive model- Hilary Duff. In other Britney news- she’s engaged to guy who already has two children with some chick that used to be on that shitty show Moesha. Way to keep it white trash Britney! That poor guy that she married for 55 hours back in January apparently still thought there were on their honeymoon.


I admire britney because she doesn't use sex to sell cd's


I saw Fahrenheit 9/11 FINALLY last night after waiting several grueling weeks. The reason I waited so long was because before I left to Vancouver I told Sinath that I’d see it with her after she came back from California- which happened to be Tuesday. I’m a huge fan of Michael Moore- I’ve read his books “Stupid White Men” and “Dude Where’s my Country?” and enjoyed his previous films “Bowling for Columbine” and “Roger & Me”. He even used to have a great show on television called “The Awful Truth” where he would go around exposing corporations of misconduct. I highly suggest you check out all of those books and movies if you enjoy his work. Well that’s enough Michael Moore praise- now down to what I thought of the new documentary Fahrenheit 9/11.

The documentary didn’t provide much information that I was previously unaware of, it was obviously biased, and only from one standpoint, and information was left out in cases that it would water down his opinion. That being said it was a truly brilliant piece of cinema. I’m saying that because this movie has information in it that every American should know- but most do not. The sad truth is that generally the American public is uninformed, and grossly unaware of the things that actually happen in their country. I don’t really blame them entirely, because the media in the states is really biased in what they cover. So although this movie didn’t cover much new territory- it was a movie that had to be made- and Michael Moore was the man who was brave enough to do it. Even though some Republicans claim Moore’s views are “un-American”, my personal opinion is that he is that he is an extremely patriotic American. He completely supports the troops that are in Iraq, but at the same time he’s enormously against the reason why they are there, and the members of government who gave the public false reasons to why troops were necessary in Iraq. He feels the American public has the right to know the deep connections between the Bin Laden and Bush families, as well as the fact that Iraq was NOT connected to the Taliban or the September 11th attack on the Twin Towers.

Anyone who says this movie doesn’t show both sides, and that it’s biased is completely correct. At the same time everything in the movie is based on undeniable factual evidence. I feel it contains information that every voting American should know, not to mention it would give Americans a good idea to why everyone in the world hates them. SEE THIS MOVIE! Tell everyone you know to see this movie! If you don’t have the 10 bucks to see it- I’ll pay for you to see it!… or I’ll just like burn you a copy or something. And in November remember to VOTE JOHN KERRY! I’m sure he’s an asshole too- but probably only a moderate asshole in comparison to George W. Bush.

Check out this hilarious flash cartoon featuring John Kerry and George Bush- This land was made for you and me!

 

 


Wally, Soc, and Nia are off in Japan visiting Sok. Have a great time guys! Wallace is excited about being in Japan because his penis is twice as long as any Japanese man’s- his is a whole TWO inches apparently. At least that’s how long Wing says it is.

Jerry is still off in Singapore on vacation. I was sad yet happy to hear that Jerry won’t be in Windsor next year because he was accepted into Ohio State University. I’m happy that he won’t have to live in this urban wasteland we affectionately call Windsor, but at the same time its gonna suck not having him around. But congrats dude! Now actually STAY at this university till you get a degree or become Van Wilder or something- alright?!

I got to hear Butch Walker’s forthcoming CD “Letters” which is coming out on Sony records at the end of August. It’s a really mellow CD that’s guitar and piano driven, and contains songs with great lyrics and catchy singable chorus’s. I was a little disappointed that there were only 1 or 2 songs on the album that weren’t ballads because I really enjoyed Butch’s rocking songs off his last CD, such as “My Way”, “Suburbia”, and “San Fernando Sex Star”. Its still a really great CD and I hope “Mixtape” actually gets radioplay- that song fucking RULES. Its too bad that 80% of the radio stations in American are owned by one company. Fucking Clear Channel. Anyways, Butch is coming in concert in Detroit the first week of August & tickets are hella cheap- who wants to go with me?! Call me up, or e-mail me, or something


look for it in stores at the end of august!

 

Last Saturday Jag, Marwan, Jag’s friend Gurpreet and myself, went to Chicago for a day trip. Jag got us a sweet car rental for only 30 bucks US. We decided to go just as something to do, and also Marwan had never been to Chicago so he wanted to check it out. I went to Chicago only one time previously, also with Jag, but that time we went we didn’t really check out many things, because Jag’s friend (different friend) came along and tied up most of our day because he went there to meet a chick that wasn’t giving him the time of day (it’s a long long sad boring story that makes you want to shoot yourself in the mouth- so I’ll spare you). We left early in the morning at 8am, and came back the next day at about 5am. This time we got to see the Downtown core of Chicago and I was pretty impressed. They have a pretty decent city over there. Their lakefront that overlooks Lake Michigan was really nice- they have bike paths, as well as benches and footpaths. Totally kicks Windsor’s river pathway’s ass all the way to Chinatown. We checked out the Navy Pier, which was all right. It was extremely congested with tourists- it was the kinda place that you could tell that no one who was actually from Chicago would ever go there intentionally. We also checked out the Shed Aquarium, which a person at Marwan’s work suggested. The Aquarium was alright- but was overpriced. It was $23 US! I mean it was a nice aquarium and everything- but not $23 nice. We didn’t even get to see the sharks eat an aquarium employee or anything.

We did a lot of walking around in Chicago- along the lakefront and also on Michigan Ave. I really enjoyed Michigan Ave. which is also known as “The Magnificent Mile”. Its basically a street that has a lot of posh and pricey stores, tall skyscrapers, nice restaurants, and beautiful people hustling and bustling around. (That’s right I said “hustling and bustling”- I like to work it into at least one update every decade- now I’m all set till 2014) One thing I have to say is that the women of Chicago can DRESS. We saw many attractive women who were dressed in very fashionable clothing strolling up and down the streets- usually with a few bags in their hands from designer stores, holding a LV purse, and talking on their cell phones. Two words- HIGH MAINTENANCE! But aside from that I was really impressed. And for anyone that knows me- I’m not the easily impressible type. Almost all of the women that we saw were Caucasian- so it was a shame that Wing and Oeun didn’t make the trip. Marwan was so impressed that he used his patented phrase “Damn girl- wuts cho name?!” at least a few dozen times.

We finished our night by eating on the patio of the Cheesecake Factory, which was a really good restaurant. None of us tried the cheesecake though since the portions of our meal were really big, and none of us had room. Yeah, yeah, we fucking copped out- who goes to a restaurant called the Cheesecake Factory and DOESN’T get cheesecake? The cheesecake looked really hype too- they had like 20 different kinds to choose from. Jag was giving the waitress a hard time ordering like a jackass- although I don’t think it was intentional. At least I hope not. I’d explain it here- but I’m sure it wouldn’t be nearly as funny written. If you care to hear a good story about Jag being stupid, just ask me, and I’ll pass it along. All in all we had a great time in Chicago, and we definitely have to go back. Next time we go we’ll have to get a hotel, and go for 2 days so we can check more stuff out- such as the nightlife, and not have to worry about driving back the same day. Also Jag and Marwan will have more time to figure out who the desi girl in the burgundy top was. Thanks to Jag for renting the car and driving! Pics coming soon!

I finally got an e-mail from Jod!! He’s been chillin in the Philippines and doesn’t plan to come back until September- when he plans to begin his search for a “real” job. He e-mailed me this picture (to the right), which I got a kick out of. Remember to bring me back my maids!

As I mention in my update a few months ago- Ma$e is officially back! His new single is called "Welcome Back" and you can check out the video by clicking here. The video is MAAAD corny- but it is kinda funny. I'm anxious to hear Mase's cd coming out this August to see if its any good.

Kevin and Thomas just moved into a new apartment up in Toronto- the end of an ERA! Their apartment on Dundonald will be fondly remembered for all the alcohol that was consumed there, as well as the revolving door of visitors and occupants. Kev and Tom didn't move too far away though- they moved a few blocks away into Kevin's sisters old apartment. You guys better have kept my SHRINE.

Nelly and Linkin Park still suck, and so does most of the music that you listen to.

Check out these funny mp3's:

Hey you! Yeah YOU! You reading my website- who the hell are you? The reason I ask is because my website is getting a phenomenal amount of hits lately, and I really have no idea who is visiting the site so often (especially since updates are few and far between). Its possible that someone keeps on hitting refresh several times to drive up my webcounter- you know a GC stalker or something. If that’s true, then keep up the good work! Seriously though- I have no idea where people are finding my website! I had some dude add me on msn from France to tell me how much he enjoys my website, which he came across accidentally while he was searching for information about Kanye West. A few people from overseas have signed my guestbook also recently, and under the heading “How did you find this website?”, they chose the option “Just Surfed In”. My question is- just surfed in from WHERE?! So if you’re reading this website and I don’t know who you are- sign the guestbook, write something in the chatterbox, or send me an old fashion e-mail at gchahal@hotmail.com Who knows- maybe I’ll motivate me to update more than twice a millennium. As always- remember to tell your friends and enemies about gc.canadianred.com- now Atkins approved with 0 net carbs!
