  Bummer, I was just laid off today.

  If anyone has any leads on a job in Toronto or surrounding areas, it would be greatly appreciated.

  In the meantime, I'm going to start updating my folio like mad and... 
  I'm not a fan of soup, but I'm going to give it a go!

  Ha. Thanks!
  Mens_Wearhouse indeed. If Biway or Woolco were still around, I'd be rocking whatever clothes they make for a while.

  Heck, I got home and immediately put my condo up for sale and slashed my expenses down to almost nothing.

  Thanks for the kind words guys. It's really appreciated.

  • We've got room in the backyard if you need space to camp once you've sold the condo....– pylon1/2

    haha. thanks, man. I think my mother in law will let me and my wife camp out in her basement for a while ;)– Gucci2/2

  Your site seems busted. I click through from the home page, wait with no feedback if anything is happening, then see the colour grid thing and can't go anywhere else. Safari 4/10.5.6

  • thanks. I'm going to be updating that shit very very soon. I might just blow up the whole thing.– Gucci
