Humour me and think of the previous millennium for

Humour me and think of the previous millennium for a moment, will ya. Y2k ya. When there was more film in the fridge than food and we were hucking tvs off balconies. My friend Olivia sent me a message last month, asking if I had heard from some of my buds from those days. Mikey, Daryl, Damir, Sully… Ashwin, Ivanhoe, Ryo, Yuriko, Shawn - the early film school days, 99-00 range.

It blew my mind that my address was also my birth date. We lived at 2274 Trafalgar - 8th and Trafalgar basically. We shot films in that house, had - a bender or two! Even family visited and joined in the fun. Swipe through and you’ll see the building, also a vignette of the neighbourhood that’s part of a student film. Though my alanis morissette repeat encounter is another story… if any of my old buds get this, say hi in the comments. And thanks @hellomissolivia for jogging my memory. I have a part 2 to this.

Being a father ain’t easy, tho it makes it easie

Being a father ain’t easy, tho it makes it easier when you learn from the best. A special father’s day greeting to those who have recently lost a father. My mom lost her dad at a young age, and I know how hard that was for her.  I’m blessed to have this job. My best advice I can give for young dads out there is show up every day and don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s all of our first time. ❤️‍🔥

Seemed like a lot at the time.

Monday if this week I walked by my old boss, Jeff Stober - founder of the Drake Hotel. I was out for my morning run. He complimented me and said you should go out for the Jays. They could use your right now. His confident on the bench next to him agreed. I said you know I’m 48? He didn’t seem to care. He was dead serious. Made my wheels turn…. At the end of this article I talk about how much of a Jays fan I was after getting drafted by the Royals. I always wondered why they didn’t give me the chance… 2 devastating injuries and 30 years later now it is a newspaper scrap in an envelope buried deep in my bag full of tax receipts. @kcroyals @bluejays #tbt #baseball #followyourdreams

This dude’s guitar handling skills tho! 😂

Captured during the ancient times of 1989, on the neighbour’s VHS system that could bench press 20lbs of pure gadgetry. He let us use it on the account we didn’t tape over the Red Wing game. This epic performance was recorded on a PA day Friday aptly dubbed: Friday Afternoon Taped”... ✨

Get ready to have your minds blown by the sheer magnificence of these invisible guitar solos and botched vocal cues! 🌟😜

She rollin?

Here is RARE footage of the original Champagne Papi. Back in the 80s saying bye to the fam before a west coast fishing trip. He was popping some bubbly as he waited with the WHARF RATS for their stretch LIMO to the airport. Yah, it was just a fishing trip, though Hollywood always did it up in style.

And today we have a reason to be popping corks. Say happy birthday to the one and only Hollywood Adam @hollywood_adam1949 Special thanks to Georgie for running the VHS on this golden moment. 🍾🍾🍾

I saw this gentlemen on the TTC today and I had to interrupt him to ask him about his jacket. Where’d you get it? I asked him. I made this myself he said. I asked what was his moniker, and he said I don’t have one, I am just starting out! Wow I said, that’s some fine work for just starting out. If anyone knows his name or where I can find him, I would like to help him get his work out there. Tight kit!

I’m really excited that De La Soul is finally releasing their 1989 masterpiece “3 feet high and rising”. I was a different person after hearing it on Detroit radio one night before grade 9. I remember shortly after seeing this segment on @muchmusic. It was one of the most inspiring segments I had seen as a kid and made me look at music in an entirely different way. Love you boys! And if you don’t want this up for some copyright reasons don’t be shy to remove it. I am just sharing inspiration. 🙏

Saved the best day of the year for the last. Got a cash gift from my youngest for socks (she’s not wrong) and I went record shopping with my oldest for her first vinyl purchase! Some full circle moments and special memories with some special people. It was a mild misty day with lots of magic in the air. We topped it off with some delicious treats and a kombucha explosion at midnight 💥(swipe for the result).

Thank you to everyone who helped make 2022 so special. Health and happiness to you all for this year. We are here if you need us. ❤️

I wanted to know what it felt like to strap on a Santa sac and go to dear friends houses and share a surprise visit. I had been planning the gifts leading up and today I went for it. By foot and ttc. One friend west in the high park area, stop 2 v in the annex - then east to Kingston rd. It took about 5 hours tho just happened so smoothly and were such rewarding visits. The last house was east side to my brother gypsy J’s place. The front buzzer was malfunctioning because of the cold and I walked in and knocked on his door. Tatums eyes lit up. Was awesome.

Tis the season. All the best everyone. ❤️

She done good. The millennium focus had her final flight this eve. I was driving with my kids and she gave way in the middle of the road. Thanks to CAA and Scrap Car removal. The intention was to preserve the vehicle as long was practically possible. Over 200k clicks. Just shy of 20 yrs (as old as my nephew) This was the final of 3 custom paint jobs.

@ford makes a solid vehicle. 💪. Bittersweet day. Now I noodle on what the new time machine will be 🤔 💭 🚘

The kids are always like ‘paps and his kombucha’. Im a little obsessed trying to make the perfect potion. The brew of immortality. But like dr. Pepper if you feel me lol 🧪 🌿 I like the process and and the outcome of this natural process is often magical and really satiating for me. gives us energy and good gut health. Like kimchi or sauerkraut would. 🍄

One of my favourite things about my oldest daughte

One of my favourite things about my oldest daughter’s name is how it sounds like “You and me”. Well it has been You and me since 2007 Umi.
I used to strap you into my kangaroo pouch and we would talk long journeys around the city together. I’d record little snippets on my cellphone and at the time the resolution was 176 × 144! Now you have an almost 11 year old sister and it is hard to remember life before. How far we have come together.

Happy 15th birthday my love.

Papi.

I told this story to my kids at the dinner table on Devil’s night (October 30th). I recall one year seeing ashes floating into our neighbourhood from over the Detroit river. This was from the burning houses. Sometimes it might seem like Dad is embellish stories for effect. Not this one. Today it is in the NY times. I had to share.

“As a teenager in the 1980s, Jamal Lawson rode his bike from fire to fire on the nights around Halloween, watching what others had set ablaze in Detroit.” @nytimes

It’s the ghost of halloween past. 88 if you want to split hairs. My last year of trick or treating and best costume to date. I singed my face applying the searing hot gelatine to it tho it was worth it.

Joined by my best friends at the time Paul Chittaro and Joey Nicholson who I sadly haven’t seen in forever. I’ve repeated Joey’s wise words almost every hallowe’en since he told me that night. “You can eat as much chocolate 🍫 as you want as long as you drink milk after 🥛 “ Enjoy that one.

👼👼👼👼👼 I pulled a stack of VHS memories from a milk crate and for my folks’ 50th anniversary decided to capture them. The very first tape I put in was a party with many of my close friends and family. Some I hadn’t seen in a while and some that I wouldn’t be able to see no matter how hard I wanted to. In the first minute of viewing I saw 5 loved ones that are no longer with us. It made me pause and realize how special and important the people in my life are. It also punched me in the face with gratitude as my birthday approached (a time where we often evaluate our years).  The more we have become avatars and notifications, the more and more I realize how fortunate I am to have the people I have in my life. Thank you to you all and I hope to see you soon IRL.

As you watch, look for for the halo which honours those who are no longer with us. I call this one “5 angels”.

This is a special coming of age story. those that

This is a special coming of age story. those that happen once in a lifetime. And when you think you know a family member that’s when they surprise you most.

Last week my extended family gathered to honour the life of my Uncle Jim Nugent. A beautiful but bittersweet event. I was happy to see a lot of people that I love in one place. After the ceremony my cousin Jimmy Pat (the 3rd) walked up to me and said, ‘J I have something for you’. I thought to myself, I should be the one giving a gift to you shouldn’t I? I came to sit down on the front stoop, and Jimmy walked over to me with a folded up plastic grocery bag and handed it to me.

I reached into the bag and pulled out a black well-weathered baseball glove. I put it on and it fit me perfectly. It turned it over and ‘Nuge’ was handwritten in sharpie on the Mizuno tag… I looked up at Jimmy and he told me this story…

During a time when I was in the US playing baseball, my cousins and my Uncle Jim were secretly obsessed with the game. Well secretly to me anyhow. I clearly remember them coming to my games to watch though I wasn’t aware of how passionate they were about the pastime. At a point Jimmy was getting more serious about playing and was in need of a proper mitt, and he mentioned it to my dad. My dad immediately had an idea and gave Jimmy this gently used black Mizuno mitt.

This was my glove.   It was a glove that I used before I got drafted and when I put it on my hand a wave of memories and emotions washed over me. I had no idea how much this meant to Jimmy at the time and I don’t think he had any idea how much it meant to me when he gave it back to me last weekend. This is a full circle story that I will remember forever and tell my loved ones until the day that I pass.

Thank you dad, and thank you Jimmy Pat. And Uncle Jim, you done good.  *A Special thank you to Emilie Cockell for capturing this beautiful moment.

Love,
J

It’s often hard finding good news today. Everyon

It’s often hard finding good news today. Everyone seems to be trying to get the upper hand. I remember growing up we all tried to help each other out, in our neighbourhood and in our community… my folks were a great example.

Some days Dad’s job was harder than others. And a few of those hard days made headline news. I was going through some old newspaper articles on newspapers.com for research, and I uncovered a few of them.   I remember talking to dad the morning after this one. It was a massive chemical fire and who knows whether that contributed to his cancer later years, though he was the guy to go up to disconnect nearly 5000 volts to protect the firemen putting out the fire. He did it for the community, for his family. It was the right thing and it was part of the job. I’ll let the @windsorstar tell the rest of the story.

*Windsor crew, there is an inside joke hidden somewhere in here. That’s legend.

Happy birthday to a living legend. John ‘Hollywood’ Adam. Well John isn’t his real name, neither is Hollywood. Though you can’t walk a block in his hometown of Windsor without someone calling one of them out. If you don’t know the story of why they call them Hollywood, I remember he told us one day at the dinner table… back when he was refereeing in the International Hockey League, he used to walk into the arena in with his sunglasses on. This is for evening games now… he had a penchant for showmanship, his colleagues dubbed him Hollywood and it has stuck. And why they call him John and not his real name.. well that’s another story.

Here’s to a man who is never afraid to get his hands dirty, and is always smiling. (Swipe for the whole story). On slide 3, can you pick out which one is him?

Happy Birthday Dad. 😎

Growing up, family was always about togetherness and loyalty. But more importantly it was about what kind of patterns you were willing to sport and the tightness of your perm. @hollywood_adam1949 @mikeadam50 always brought the heat in that department.

I feel like life is a series of decisions, and you

I feel like life is a series of decisions, and you never really know exactly which one is the right one. A lot like what Doc explained to Marty, if you choose one adventure over another, it might change the fabric of you life from now until eternity. Back when I was 17 I was presented with a big decision. One that I was likely not ready to make. I remember thinking back to it, almost as if it didn’t really happen. Thanks to my dad, and the treasure trove that is our basement, I am occasionally reminded of these progressively foggy moments…   This year, when I picked this folder out of a tote that my dad had prepared for me during the holidays, a wave of memories came over me. I remember being very surprised to have received this package. It was a scholarship offer from Princeton University. Right around the same time, I got a folder from another well known entity with an equally enticing offer, the Kansas City Royals. I made the choice to go pro and I still wasn’t even old enough to vote. Which one would you have chosen? Do you think I made the right choice? My philosophy has always been, make the choice and go for it 100%, don’t look back… so no regrets, though I will always wonder what would have happened if I chose door number 2 🤔

🍄🥤 Manchurian Mushroom pop anyone?
 If you have some down time during the holiday, and you are looking to cut down on your alcohol consumption though you love that refreshening bubbly drink, this one is for you:
 I have been experimenting, combining the qualities of a soda pop and fermented drinks to create something healthy and refreshing. The process is also super rewarding! It is creative, and takes flexing your patience muscles…
 Note: This is the second ferment of a 2-step fermentation process. If you are looking to learn out how do the first ferment, follow the link in my story. You can make the SCOBY culture from scratch though if you would like one, I have plenty, just send me a message.

Happy holiday season all,
