Afternoon SG'ers!!!!!!!
How is everyone doing???
Well I've had a whirlwind week. My Uncle passed away last week from Cancer. They started him on his chemo treatments then sched him in to get his intestines removed and then last week he was at my cousins house for lunch and acting really strange. She said Dad are you feeling okay and he said he was but she decided to take him to the hospital. They took him into the room and he died.
So Monday was his funeral. I went with my parents and my sister. My mom just got out of surgery this weekend and was released from the hospital Monday morning and insisted she had to be there for my family. I was so proud of her.
So this is my shit storm side of my family. They are full of convicts, drug addicts and alcoholics and only a select few that we are close with (the non-crazy ones). For the most part the funeral was a nice ceremony at a funeral home then the ended it with a bang.
The lady asked at one point if anyone wanted to share a story or kind words. We immediately turn to my Aunty Sharon who's son is a preacher in some stupid religion and they always have to put in two cents. For once.. they were SILENT. So then they finish with a Eulogy and then tell us that next door there are coffee and sandwiches for the family. Just as everyone is about to get up my Aunt stands up and says she has some words..
She gets up there with this bible from god knows what and then tells the audience about her close relationship with my uncle which was a total crock of shit. There is a reason we don't associate with her family. So as she reads this passage I had to put my head down because I started to laugh. I know it is not the place for laughter but this shit was seriously out to lunch. My sister tells me to stop because she too is about to laugh. Then my Auntie finished and I look up to my cousin Michelle who has this look of hate across her face. My Aunt sits down and then Michelle gets up to the podium.
She states that it was hard for her to speak at her own Father's funeral but her Father is a NO bullshit kind of man and that was a whole wack of bullshit. She felt the strength of her father and needs to set things right. She talked about the things in his life he loved and it made me happy she finished off the funeral right.
I then wait until the funeral room is clear so I can help my mom to her scooter but I said was that scientology? my sister said no it was from this (I cant remember the name now). So we get to the next room and Michelle grabs me to hug me and thank me for the photo of her Dad (I took a really nice one of him last year at Thanksgiving and that was what they used for the funeral) and I said thank you for finishing off the funeral right. I told her that was me who laughed and did she read it from the Bible of Bat Shit Crazy from the gospel of Wing Nut? she laughed and said she knew her Dad was flipping in his grave right now.
So then last night I get a call from a musician from a band on my bill for September 21st. He spoke with the other bands on the bill and they are all wanting to donate the door proceeds to a cancer foundation here. You see my good friend Keith's girlfriend has cancer and has been in and out of treatments since February of this year. This past weekend they called them in and told her she is cancer free and they would love to fundraise and create awareness for Cancer.
This could not come at a better time as I just lost someone to that horrible disease. So soon enough I'll have details out on the band line up at Verns Tavern for September 21st.
I also had a horrible thing to do this week. I had to write a letter to fire one of my models. I felt like this person's heart was not with us. They showed up to every set late and last one really chapped my ass because I paid to rent a chopper. I rented it for an hour and the model showed up almost two hours late and we had no bike. The real kicker?? this model owns a fucking bike! so the money I spent was a total waste! then this model took one of my set idea's to a group in Calgary and they did almost the exact concept I had. So after seeing my next large concept done again with my Hazzardous Twist on it I knew it was time I had to let this model go.
So on a good note.. I have a casting call this weekend. I've got 50 interviews with models who are local and non-local. I am shocked that people are coming from out of province to come work with me. What is even cooler? we finally have a good handful of guys coming out!
So Minerva is back on the site! she had to take a break from work due to an illness and I am glad she is better and back on board for the Art
