Blame It On The DLu

Here's the Promised Nostalgia

those of you who know me, know that i'm a photog guy.

here're some of my favourite pictures from the last few years. i don't have any pics from high school or before on my comps unfortunately.














1st year floormates: tim, asher, me

these guys crack me up. i can count few times in my life in which i've laughed so hard for extended periods of time, in which these guys weren't involved.
tidbit: asher's from india. (insert mean girls comment: "if he's from india, why's he white?") he taught me how to eat with my hands. it's not as easy as it looks. tim makes a great vomit face.















summer 2003: otown roadtrip
this is todder, me and parks. after going to Japan for the first six weeks of the summer we each took a trip up to town. it was one of my favourite trips.
tidbit:
in 1st year, todd and i would always play street fighter II. i'd always try to beat him 10X in a row, but he'd always beat me on the 10th round. that was upsetting for me. sorry ladies, he's hitched!















2 of the greatest girls: dide & shanny
shanny was a fellow bpapmer until she moved onto bigger and better things (like marriage). dide (or xina) is the loudest girl i know, which means means she's obviously fun. you can hear her laugh through cinder block walls. haha.
tidbit: shanny used to hate being called shanny. we kept calling her that anyways, and it stuck. she once tried to rebuke me with a kind of out of context verse. good times. she likes it when you say "GIIIIIIIIIIT" in a super gutteral way ;)














the cutest girl in the whole wide world
... that's said in a brotherly way. everyone i know agrees that there is no one cuter than maria. for goodness sakes, she loves totaro!
tidbit: although she denies her cuteness, she'll say things like "i guess we took the super advanced hike" whilst tilting her head, shrugging her shoulders and giggling. for the record though, she's a spiritual giant. she started the tidal wave of cton students going to study in EA.
















bottoms up!
while asher, ricer and nate may look sloshed, they're not. matt and nate lived in the house next door to me last year, until i moved. matt has a fondness for baseball, and nate a passion for tyrannical dictatorships.
tidbit: in 2003, nate went to EA. my favourite memory from that trip: him sitting hunched over with his head in his hands as a girl beside him -- pouring her heart out -- was sobbing up a storm. from that experience came the "heel pat" which has become legendary in the teaching of guys how to comfort crying girls. hahaha.















the funnest girls ever!
these two girls are fun. FUN. carolyn's funness comes in the form of her love for bbt, hindi movies, and ranting/raving. tara is a spaz who can't keep secrets. she is the most dramatic person i've ever met. last year she was like my personal francais tutor.
tidbit: this summer we're planning to take a trip out to PEI/NS. mistake? it could be disasterous, if another guy doesn't come along, haha. seriously though. any takers?


ok, i think that's enough for today. i'm glad i finally figured out this picture posting thing. ahhh, memories. although, i feel it's kind of weird to be posting my memories on the world wide web for everyone to see. it's like opening up my mind and allowing you to walk through the annals of my brain. i guess that is kind of what it's like.

"go ahead, take a gander. take as long as you'd like. enjoy yourself."

DLu.

  • oh man dude, i would so be up for that roadtrip to PEI/NS. but i'm not a guy so i guess i don't qualify. besides you wouldn't want me along anyways, i'd BEG forever to go see ALL the Anne of Green Gables stuff, but maybe not if i was a guy...unless i had a crush on Anne.....umm...it's getting late.

  • hey darren

    i guess i should probably finally comment on your blog. very nice!

    hahaha... when i first glanced at the first picture, i FULLY thought that you were diana, and i was like, what the....where did that picture come from?!?!? and then i looked at it again, and i was like ooooh, it's darren. that makes infinitely more sense than it being diana.

    anyways, me and my mom are chattin' up a storm for you :) (not literally, i don't like storms).

    well......see ya later!

  • thanks for the comments guys. each one is like a little gold star (credit: milk)

    it's true. i think that says something about me. i'm going to think about that.

    anyways ...

    andrea: i'm not sure how i should take that. or ... for that matter, how diana should take that. um, thanks for the chats though. haha.

    kelley: how could i go out east and NOT go to NS? i'm all about going to Hali. i actually wanna go to Nfld too, but apparently 't-pack' thinks it's gweis. i'm excited to see your stomping ground though :)

    kevin: you know my blog adds colour to your life. you love it. haha.

  • Hey, for someone who's been compared to the famous TOTORO, it's funny that you can't spell the name right!! :P

    Also, will the funnest family in the world make it onto this blog at anytime in the future? I feel like we should get some credit in the fun hall of fame.

  • I know this is now an old post, but I just want to say I agree with Michell... you've fully left out some EXTREMELY fun people from this list...
