how to not be a pile – numero uno
welcome to the inaugural post in my series of self help tips, how to not be a pile.
judging by the amount of people in my life that are epic piles i felt it was important to start an almost “dummies” guide on how to not be a bad human.
i have extensive experience both being a pile and being a good adult so i feel pretty qualified to give advice from the mount.
to catch everyone up, a pile is exactly what it sounds like, a pile of crap.
these are the homies that wake up hungover every day, never before 1, don’t have jobs to speak of and are constantly asking to borrow money or catch a ride home.
now that we’re all caught up, what’s the first pro tip on how to not be a pile?
if your friends do favors for you, do favors for them!
simple right? wrong.
offering someone a beer when they’re at your house or stating “i’d do you such and such favor if i could” as your rationale amounts to nothing for the people doing favors for you.
the liquor store offers me all kinds of beers for pretty cheap and doesn’t need to do stacks of laundry at my house every week or need a ride.
this has been a deathrune public service announcement.
07.Sep.2010 happy labor day.
we played the mini ramp jam on sunday, many beers were had and all the bands killed it.
topanga and the flatspots opened for us and ruled, their drummer is sending some pics which i will post when i have them.
calgary’s finest gave me this gift when i was walking home:
my run of several stops for open liquor without getting a ticket has come to an end.
fittingly on what many consider the last weekend of the summer.
tumblr tuesday – punk rock mixtapes
check out punk rock mixtapes as he posts some seriously rad old calgary punk.
for example click here to listen to the classic inquisition track “drunk and stupid”.
this was on an inquisition/everymen split, could be one of the first sevens i ever bought.
there are other classics such as chapter 16 and showdown 76 on there as well.
check out this tumblr, click play and picture yourself sinking 40′s in the parking lot of the multi before an all ages show.

02.Sep.2010 new deck day is the best day of my life.
so, about a month ago i got this pretty lil beast up the street.
well, two days ago it was new deck day, the creek done run dry, here’s a pic without the trucks and wheels.
and, i got my hands on this pretty lil number, today is her 2 day birthday
getting bored of pictures of my bagged out skateboards yet?
rulers, ruling.
just popped up the street to mission (ps, support your local shop fools) and copped the new stay gold dvd.
me and the homies will be sitting down to watch this tonight once work and new episode of jersey shore is done.
maybe i will even skate nerd the fuck out and write a review of it?
don’t hold your breath, people that blog about skating more than they actually skate are lame.
01.Sep.2010 the deathrune disclaimer.
i’m a bit of a nerd and track new instances of the term “deathrune” on the internet as they appear.
who cares right?
it has become overwhelmingly clear that there are many uses of the term/word “deathrune” which aren’t really my thing and which i felt it necessary to publicly declare my non-association with.
- World Of Warcraft dudes – no offense homies but I don’t know anything about the game and have always avoided it like the plague. I knew some kids that were pretty addicted to GuildWars at one point, if they’re anywhere near the same thing y’all are wasting your life. If you came here to get tips on when to use the “deathrune spell” or whatever it is keep on moving fella.
- Fans of this metal band – their logo sucks and the only photo is some grainy bullshit. fyi guys, you’re blowing it.
- People into this record label – no real comment here, seems a bit too metal and serious for me
- Yet another metal band – these dudes put out an EP called deathrune, i didn’t even click play on their myspace
these dudes do not seem particularly geared toward getting an online presence for their particular interest in the deathrune brand, i barely update and i certainly don’t harp on the term “deathrune” yet i’m second in google results for this term as of right now.
bands and labels, fire your PR guy. warcraft homies, get a life.
so, why deathrune? (if you’re actually still with me after this pointless rant)
i chose deathrune mainly because i am a total geek for the illuminatus! trilogy (at this point i’ve read it at least 10 times) and there is this rad story of the first illuminati crucifying the first anarchist/nihilist on a upside down cross which is the modern peace sign.
(click rad story and ctrl + f for “lilith velkor”, some of it should be there, i’d prefer you read the damn book to be honest because it’s kind of non-linear)
i’m not anti-anarchist or any other such nonsense, more pro rad story, and i think it’s hilarious (though possibly not true) that a symbol could become so widely regarded as the symbol of pacifism with such a violent origin.
also, people who have read it, i get that the sex scenes are all pretty male masturbatory and i’m honestly not surprised…one of the authors used to write for playboy. knee jerk oversimplifying feminists, unfollow.
you might as well make statements that identify it as a book or made out of paper and equate them to progressive literary criticism but i digress.
also, i dig it phonetically and it’s a fun word to draw, so get off my back.
in closing, deathrune for life…just without any of the above semi embarrassing connotations.
