Hmm... a f**kin UNICORN sighting in Toronto

While this seems video pretty legitimate, I warn you that the Ontario Science Centre was "coincidentally" hosting a Mythical Creatures: Dragons, Unicorns and Mermaids exhibit at the same time. Good PR. Convincing footage. And I like the formal warning and emergency hotline thingy. That's cool.

Random and funny...

Ridiculously funny ass stuff! It's getting to be winter here in Canada, this is important.

Dub Monkey EP Release: The Sitar Experience

Played a historic venue in Toronto today -- the Elmo Cambo! Located at College and Spadina, this venue once hosted the Rolling Stones before Mick Jagger even had a single wrikle! Shared the stage with a sitar, drums, bass, trombone, saxophone,Nord keyboard, trumpet, MC...it was a circus.

Check out track 4 of the EP, I am featured playing flute on "Flutey Loops".

A Poem..

They Told Me…

Journey, they told me, to the far off land
Abide by their rules, learn by the hand
Stand up for what is right, approach the friendly
Keep a safe distance away, love your enemy
Pace yourself, don’t rush, rush, rush
Keep your emotions in control, pee BEFORE you flush

Be honest and true, gold you will receive
Rewards are encouragement, they’d have you believe
Patience is a virtue, a virtual run-on sentence
Fallacy leads to failure, followed by repentence

If Peace is a state of mind…
Then why doesn’t it stay in this state of mine
The mind is a minefield
We are the explosions we make…

Beatbox Reflection...

Here's a clip from 2005 of me beatboxing for some of my favorite folks artists in the world! Joanna Chapman Smith (www.joannacs.com) and Melissa Bandura (www.myspace.com/mbandura)

I'm a vegetarian by choice. There I said it. I don't usually enforce my opinion on the industry and shove it down people's throats. Most people with a brain can get the facts, and make an informed choice on their eating habits by themselves. But there are certain aspects of animal cruelty that are absolutely intolerable. One of them for me is aerial killings...shooting an animal from the sky and leaving it for the dead. The age of game hunting is over. I'd like to see one of those men with guns attack a bear with something that didn't fire bullets. I would really like to see that.

On that note, enjoy this song "Nature Creatures." It's a song written by my brother Ro Honey and a film by Jesi The Elder. It illustrates the above subject quite well.

Ryerson Toronto set new World Record for Most People Beatboxing at One Time!!

"Hundreds of students beatboxed their way to a potential world record. Ryerson University says they smashed the previous record of 327 people beatboxing at the same time, with an unofficial count of 961" -Globe and Mail....yep, we did it. Thanks to MJ of course for such a catchy beat.
