Well, since I represent the East, having lived my whole childhood in St-Leonard, I believe I'm best placed to bring you my top 4 of Eastern Montreal's best.
So here goes, from most excellent to most best excellent (and no, I didn't forget the refinery, its just that it might not be there as of tomorrow, so lets just hope it vanishes from our city's memory) :
#uno - The one and only real eastern montreal beach :
As described by our own ville de montréal:
Ce parc urbain, situé au sud-est de l'île de Montréal, est à la fois paisible et étonnant (damn right it is!), fragile et imposant… Deux mondes opposés s’y côtoient, l'un est rustique et chantant : le long de la promenade, de belles rives protégées ouvrent sur le fleuve Saint-Laurent et les vertes îles de Boucherville (ainsi que l'improbable cadavre insolite de milieu de journée). L'autre univers est industriel et d'acier : d'imposants cargos passent à quelques centaines de mètres des berges pour décharger leurs conteneurs un peu plus loin.
If you're lucky you'll find a nice bloated cadaver, like I did 10 years ago, this is where they wash up! Seriously, I think this place offers up great picture potential, since its all surrounded by industrial metal and steelyards, while being all quiet and green and nice. Its like "they" put it there just to remind us how retarded the whole eastern part of the St-laurent's coast is. Its like : look, this is how your eastern part of the island could look like! Nice eh? Well fuck you! Never! aharahrharhar! steel! JUnkyards and sugar factories! FUck you, you poor eastern french bastards! Eat shit and die!
#deux: La tour de Champlain!
This one is a classic. I already did a piece on that one so I'll skip, but just the thought that its been there for more than 500 years is enough to give you chills (imagine all the ghosts that are still haunting the place...)
#Three: Jmo's gazebo!
I wont say anything for this one except they say Jmo's devirginalized more underage persons in that Gazebo than can ever be morally acceptable, even by the pope's standards.
... and #quatro, best excellent place in the Montreal (eastern or western if you ask me): Gay village's own avenue Lartigue!!!
This place is just marvelously splendid!! Its so beautiful! Ow my god! Its just so cute! ouuuuh! I love it! Oh my gawd!
But seriously, that street is the best. You just have to see it, its incredibly gay.

Soo.....
I'm doing some research for a drawing about the city and I thought I might get youz guyz opinions. What are your three favorite places/buildings/monuments/streets/whatever in Montreal.
For example: Farine Five Roses building, Ile Jean Drapeau, The Milk bottle water tower, etc.
I could really use your input on this one.
Thanks.
So what's the truth here?
I dislike the Israeli government as much as the next person. But from what I've seen and read so far, we don't seem to have an ironclad case here. Here's why:
1) What we want to hear
2) What we choose to ignore
I hate to play devil's advocate and all, but I don't want to embark on some new bullshit bandwagon. I'm just saying that I'll keep my indignation to myself until I see a bit more evidence.

In my Defence
re: A certain Cardinal Joe Molesto recently accused me of being "not nice" because I was hitting on another man's girl.
I agree that it is not kosher or even halal to make time with another man's girl. If that man is your friend, well that's just plain wrong.
In my defence, I have a number of arguments, chief among which is the first one:
1. I had no idea Lo was ET's girlfriend.
2. She initiated the flirting.
3. She continued it. I did too of course, but can you blame a man for flirting with a seemingly single smoking hot chick who's giving you attention? She even looked at my cock when I was pissing in the sink. But can you blame her? ('twas a good party indeed)
4. I had, several weeks ago met her at a bar with ET and a bunch a friends. I spoke to her a good part of the evening; ET was nowhere to be found. She came in with ET and one of his friends and one of the stupidest girls I've ever spoken to. Anyways, I even asked her how she knew ET just to make sure I wasn't pissing on anybody's toes. She said he was just some guy she knew through a mutual friend. I even asked ET what was going on between them and he said nothing was going on. He also added that anyways, he's zero possessive about girls.
5. I was at a party 2-3 weeks ago and saw Tony Parent openly flirting with her. Wait. That means nothing.
6. Back to the Head-Busting Rock Show (or HBRS, not to be confused with shorthand for Hebrews. We were in a Catholic church after all) At the end of stay there, upon my departure, I noticed her flirting with ET. The next day, during which I helped ET move some STUPIDLY heavy stuff, this Lo flirting with ET prompted me to ask him his status with Lo. Once again I did not want to piss on somebody else's toes. He said they were not going out and that anyways there were too many women in the world to settle for one.
7. Cardinal Joe Molesto, if you see me flirting with someone's girlfriend, perhaps the best course of action would be to let me know as soon as possible. Perhaps by taking me aside. Or by telling me later in a private manner. I think that would be much more reasonable and respectful than to let events take place and then to procede to electronically scribble on a high-school bathroom mirror a nasty accusation just like a backstabbing teenage bitch.
J'ACCUSE!

No! Thank you!!!
Thanks for inviting us! But you missed the best part.
My personal favorite moment: When I was kneeling next to my friend who's eyes were rolled into the back of his head. I especially liked the growing puddle of blood spreading like a halo: it added to the drama. But then again, so did the guy yelling at his girlfriend, and the ambulance, and the cops.
I hate emergency rooms.

Merci d'être venu les gars!
J'espère que vous avez aimé votre soirée.
What a night...

Its just not a nice thing to do.

Couldn't think of a better place to post this.
Since Facebook is full of crazies.
I'm contemplating moving out this summer, finally, and I've been looking at places here and there. There are a bunch of decent deals for larger appartments (like this one here) and I was wondering if anyone was thinking of moving.
If you're interested you can rest assured that I pledge not to shit on your chest in the middle of the night. Unless you really deserve it.

Good News!
For me.
I've been waiting for this moment for a while now. It has arrived.
Now, you should know that I don't delve into porn often. 1. I find it's bad for your imagination. 2. I don't have a computer in a private place. Also, I'm not into 'porn stars', too fake for me. I'm a girl next door type of guy.
These factors make this discovery all the better since the odds were against me.
Without further ado, I am happy to announce that I've finally discovered a porn star that looks like a certain ex-girlfriend of mine! YES! HAPPY HAPPY DAY!
Let us all rejoice in this splendid development. But let us not embrace, for that would be awkward considering the subject matter. Anyways, check this lady out.
Fuck yeah!

Art
Every now and again, a film comes along that reminds us all of how film really is a form of art. I hope this gets the proper recognition and praise it deserves.
PS: I gots meat in me boots.

Tilt-Shift
There's a really amazing effect you can achieve with video these days. It's called Tilt-Shift. It's pretty cool. It makes everything look like little train model accessories. I like it for two reasons.
1- It looks really awesome.
2- I find it distances the viewer so much from the subject that you're able to see humans for the industrial little microbes that they are, swarming around the planet's surface like little robot-building ants.
This is one of the better ones I've seen. There are some other jewels out there if your up for looking.
Later.
