- After being in my new place for a month, I finally got internet. 
- My website will be updated/made over within the next few weeks
- I bought a film scanner
- I’m starting a (film) series of street cats and other things I see downtown
- this doesn’t really relate to anything online, but I’m hoping to get a printer within the next week so I can print&frame more of my pictures.

 

Europe, from the plane. 

This is one of the many drugs that doctors and psychiatrists hand out like candy. Effexor XR is especially bad for withdrawal symptoms, and people have been known to fire their doctors for prescribing these pills to them. 

These are some reasons doctor prescribe these pills to patients, along with common side effects:

• Arthritis
• Lupus
• ADD/ADHD
• Chronic Fatigue (Common side affect: sleepiness or insomnia)
• Headaches (VERY Common side affect: headaches)
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (Common side affect: diarreah or constipation)
• Excessive Sweating (Common side affect: excessive sweating) 
• Eating disorders (Common side affect: weight gain) 

This medication also affects (decreases) the libido and causes other sexual disfunctions, such as impotence and inability to orgasm. 

I was prescribed these drugs when I was 17, which is way too young for anybody to be taking these kinds of medications. 

More people need to be aware of how bad these drugs really are. It should be illegal to not inform a patient of the side effects and withdrawal symptoms before prescribing any kind of medication to them. It should be illegal for these medications to even be on the market. 

First preview of some of the pictures from my trip.

Headrush - The Heist

Have you ever pictured Dog Day Afternoon with a cast of all-star stunners in lieu of John Cazale and Al Pacino? Alright me neither, but Matt and Headrush certainly did, and the results are bankable! The storied 205 Yonge Street location backdrops a series chock-full of eye-candy, with the likes of Lana Tailor, Tara Elliot, Angelina Polska, Tailor James, Emma Morin and Lexi Belle all causing quite the ruckus, despite the best efforts of security guards Matt Leblanc, Travis Schweyer and Carl Forrest. Matt was a lucky bastard privileged to have such an enchanting ensemble to work with, including the infamous Lexi, who flew to Toronto just to be apart of the heist. Also on set were the ever-present Bossy Girls, Vili & Caitlin, providing styling/hair & makeup, Fashion Television (may it rest in peace), and the lads of Spot Cinema, who put together the wonderful video that precedes the jump.

Special mention must go to Vistek, who provided Matt with the new Canon 5D Mark 3 to play with - a more geek-centric review of which can be found at the conclusion of all this lustfulness!

As soon as I upload and edit pictures from a photoshoot I’m already thinking of ideas for the next one and how they can be better.
