Zubazz...the Undispited Heavyweight Champion of Regina Karaoke. 

Shaving my head for charity

So a while back I got talked into shaving my head for charity. At the time, I really didn't think much of it. But now that it's only 30 days away, I'm really starting to have second thoughts. I got my last haircut today before that fateful day on April 30. This cause is definitely a very worthwhile cause...and 100% of the proceeds go towards this cause. You are probably wondering what this cause is. Well, let me tell you... A 17 year-old coworker of mine has needed a liver tranlplant since from a very early age she's had syrosis (Is that how you spell it?) of the liver. She finally got first on the waiting list and went to Edmonton 2 weeks ago to have her transplant. However, she will end up being in Edmonton for over 3 months when is all and said and done after having all her follow-up procedures etc. Seeing as how she and her family live here in Regina, her family will need approximately $30,000. Her highschool has raised $10,000 so far which I think is absolutely incredible. The grocery store I work at has raised $13,000 so far, but we still have to raise more money. We're having a steak night right away, and then on April 30 myself and a woman I work will be shaving our heads if we raise a certain amount of money...probably $3000. The way I see it, hair grows back...livers don't. So if anyone actually reads this, feel free to make a donation (big or small) at the Regent Park Safeway, here in Regina.

This is a pic of Kevin, Robin, Eric and Stacey from Liquid Courage. The guy in the "bar star" t-shirt is Web Jay. He is responsible for almost every Regina band's web site (bilfrocks.com, normal2none.com, superjuicerocks.com, liquidcourage.ca, etc) along with reginabarstars.com and regianmetalpages.com. Thhose Liquid Courage guys are HUGE...They're MASSIVE...They put Ahnuld to shame. 

Here's a classic pic of my dad trying to grab JC's ass at my 28th b-day bash. A few years ago, I went to Bart's after work for my dad's big birthday bash. I walked in and looked up at the bar, only to find that my dad is up there dancing... on the bar. It's good to know that my dad is still full of piss and vinegar. 

Here's another pic from Canada Day. This would be me with Zubazz, Christofur Real from B!LF and Tanya.  

I'm all about the celebrity photo ops, aren't I? This is me with singer/songwriter extraordinaire Jasob Plumb, formerly of the Waltons. This was taken at O'Hanlon's if I am not mistaken. 

If you look REALLY close, you can see my nose hairs. I sure know how to put the ASS in CLASS, don't I? This is me horsing around with Tina and Zubazz at the fireworks this past year. 

This is me getting caught staring at Shelene's... uhhh.....eyes...yeah, eyes. They're machine gun jubblies, baby. Can you blame me? Classify under: JJ's Blackmail Pictures. 

Here' a pic of me, Danny Greaves and my buddy Cory from my 28th b-day at Bart's. Actually, the guy to my left is actually one of my oldest friends J.C. who has gotten told many times over the years that he looks exactly like "that dude from The Watchmen." 

This pic is from this past Canada Day at Baldy's in Regina Beach. The place was frickin' INSANE. Zubazz and I got to belt out a tune each with B!LF. The crowd was NUTS. I mean, I could've burped and the crowd would've eaten it up, but it was such a rush being in front of a packed, rowdy crowd. For 3 minutes I felt like a rock star. I've gotten to be good friends with the guys from B!LF and Normal To None, and I wanna thank all those guys for letting me up with them all the time. I owe you guys big time! 

This is one of my fave pictures. This was at my 28th birthday soiree at Bart's. This is me with Tina, Shelene, and Shelene's brother Scott. In the background is my mom talking to one of my oldest friends Lisa. Now everybody say "Hi JJ's mom!" 

A site about me would not be complete without some sort of mention of R.E.M. I think I'm one of 5 people in North America who still buy their albums, but they have been my fave band for probably half my life.I've seent ehm live 3 times... Vancouver in 1995, Toronto in 2003, and Winnipeg (6th row!) in 2004. I listen to them all the time and I still never get sick of them. R.E.M. and U2 have been around for over 25 years now and they still put out kickass music. 

Here's one for those ladies who like REALLY BIG COCKS. This pic is from a B!LF show in Moose Jaw. I think the picture speaks for itself really. I still have no clue who would bring a blow-up penis to a bar. 

Not only does Zubazz have nice tits, but he always practices safe sex. 

Here is some more fake nudity. 

Last year I tried out for Canadian Idol. I never intended to, but I met up with a few of my friends who were auditioning. I was too old at the time for auditioning (I was 28 and the cutoff age was 26), but Tina talked me into trying to sneak my way in. So Tina and I decided it would be a good idea if we hit an offsale, pick up some mickies of gin and rye, get some mix from 7-11 and do Canadian Idol drunk. Well, after getting not too much sleep amongst the herd of delusional future superstars, I sweet-talked my way through the ID booth and handed in my entry form. So after getting through the entry gates, Tina and I went to work on our alcohol. At this point I realized that it would probably be a good idea to figure out what song or songs I should have prepared since I obviously had no intentions of being at this shindig at all. Feeling a bit buzzed, I figured that since I'm here on a drunken lark and since I'm too old for the competition, I figured I should commit Canadian Idol suicide and sing "At a Medium Pace" by Adam Sandler. Well, it ended up that my buddy Nathan and I got to audition in the same room. By this point, Tina and I were very intoxicated. As Nathan and I were sitting in the hallway outside all the audition rooms, Tina comes running out of her audition room. She got to sing a second song because she did great on her first one, but she forgot the words to her second song. Well, immediately after she got rejected she comes running out of the audition room past Nathan and I in a mad rush to use the washroom because she was doing the pee pee dance. Well, in her hurry, she trips on a chair and falls flat on her face. Crash! Nathan and I, being the supportive friends that we are, start cracking up big time. Tina skinned her nose pretty good. I would definitely give her fall a 9 out of 10 for sure. [Tina, if you end up reading this, I apologize, but it's such a GREAT story!] Sortly thereafter, it is audition time for Natahn and I and two girls. Nathan begins, does a killer job of his song and gets a chance to advance to the next round. This other girl sings and does an amazing job. Me, in my classy and drunken stupor, gives her a high fiveand says to her "Holy shit! That was fuckin' awesome! Up top!" The judges, for some odd reason were not too impressed. Then the next girl sings "Amazing Grace." A perfectly nice segueway into Adam Sandler's ode to shampoo bottles up asses and premature ejaculation. Well, at this point I begin the song. I suddenly had some second thoughts about singing Adam Sandler because the room was so quiet and the judges looked pretty stern. Well, I start off crooning "Put your arms around me baby, can't you see I need you so..." etc. I'm doing these cheesy Backstreet Boy hand gestures, such as the "finger wave" and the classic move of all time... the "hand grasp." The judges were actually receptive to me at this point. But then I started singing the raucnhy part of the song... "...Spit on your hand and stroke my cock at a medium pace..." etc. The looks on the judges faces were priceless... looks of pure disbelief and scorn. It was such a tense mood in the room. Nathan started giggling nervously and then I forgot a word, so I stopped. After that, I told the judges "I do have a serious song if you want..." Needless to say, they declined my gracious offer. So that is my Canadian Idol story. I found the whole experience surreal. Just from a people-watching perspective, I was in pure disbelief seeing all these girls coming out of the audition rooms crying because they got turned down. I honestly can't believe that someone would enter a contest like this and EXPECT to advance. That's like buying a lottery ticket and expecting to win.  

HOT LESBIAN ACTION!!!!!!!!!!!! Do I have your attention now? These are my friends Chelle and Dani. A bunch of us from reginabarstars.com had a meet and greet meeting and this funny pic was taken. As you can see, Dani would make a very bad lesbian. 

Here's another pic from the Shuswap trip. We were giving everyone black sharpie tattoos. You are probably wondering if Tara was "here"? No, no she wasn't. 

Well, I can't have my own website without putting a bit of nudity in it, now can I? This is my good buddy and local legend Zubazz. We were at the old B-52 here in town before it closed down for a night of karaoke. I'm all about the photo ops, so I felt the urge to show some skin. One thing you will notice is that I have tiny nipples. The other thing you will notice is that Zubazz had breast implants. I must say that his surgeon did a damn fine job of those puppies. Actually, Zubazz's tits are actually the handiwork of his friend Mr. Bastard from Montreal. Apparently, he is giving Zubazz a run for his money in the Photo Shop King of the World competition. 

Two summers ago, I went houseboating in Shuswap Lake. That week was one of the best times I have ever had in my life...like maybe top 5. It was absolutley heaven on earth there. Well, one night we had a toga night, so I thought I'd have to step it up a notch since there was a prize for best toga. Anyone can throw a sheet over themselves, but I believe I am the first person ever to wear a toga made of bubblewrap. If I am not the first person to do this, then please let me know, but I like to think it's a rather original idea. Oh yeah, you are probably wondering why I am wearing an afro in this picture. I'm not sure what it is, but every time I have an excuse to dress up I usually like to accessorize with an afro. I think an afro wig just adds that certain extra something. 

One night, I was the opening act for Liquid Courage. I dressed up as Austin Powers and sang three tunes with the band. My lovely fembots seen here are Tina and Shelene. This was definitely one of the funnest nights I've had in the past year or two. There's just something about dressing up in a costume that gives you a licenceto act goofy. Plus I learned a valuable lesson from all this... having people give you black sharpie tattoes on your chest may seem like a great idea at the time, but it's a majot bitch trying to scrub the ink off after. It took like a week or so for the final black remnants to come off. 

A movie was recently filmed here in Regina. Anna Faris, Amy Smart, Chris Klein and Ryan Reynolds (who is probably one of the funniest people on the planet) were the stars. One night at O'Hanlon's, B!LF (a kickass local cover band) were playing and Anna Faris and Chris Klein showed up. I busted a move and shot the shit with Anna. I must say that she was very cool, down to earth, and not too hard on the eyes. I guess I'd be lying if I said I wasn't trying to work my mojo on her. About a month later, my friend Tina and I got to be extras in the movie. I can't believe I got paid to throw popcorn at Ryan Reynolds.  

This is me with Danny Greaves (formerly of The Watchmen). For some strange reason, Web Jay and myself decided to go to Fibber Magee's, a local Irish style pub during their shitty karaoke night. This bald guy gets up and starts singing "One" by U2. I turned around to Jay and said "This is a HARD song to sing... this guy's gonna blow!" Well, it turned out to be Danny Greaves, and well... he certainly didn't blow. So after I went up to him and starting shooting the shit with him. I hope I never came off as a creepy fan because I was a HUGE Watchmen fan. I must've seen them 5 or 6 times back in the day. Yes... I'm getting old. 

This is me RAWKing out with Liquid Courage... Regina's very own live karaoke band. 

Greetings and salutations...

Howdy y'all. So a buddy of mine decided to start up a blog. I've heard about this "blog" thing for the last few months, but I honestly had no clue as to what it was. Anyways, seeing as how I am procrastinating right now, I decided to start up a blog of my very own for shits and giggles. I have no idea where this thing will go, so hold on and enjoy the ride! My life has been very interestin in the last year or two... a little TOO eventful actually, so I may use this as a means to report my crazy adventures. Plus I'm a huge music geek, so I may include album and show reviews. I may also use this as a means to promote local talent here in Regina. Anyways, stay tuned.
