I dont know where this post will end up. But be forwarned that its probly not going to be a overtantly positive one.

Its 6 am and as most of you are likly finishing up your rest before work or school, I am Still awake, strung out on stress, loathing just about every situation im involved in.

The air quality in my room is so poor i cant breathe which only makes me loath my living (or lack there of) situation more and the space restraints have forced me to give up just about every luxury and some nessecities a boy needs to remain healthy.

Ive often felt like my own health and wellness needs have been over looked because of the greater needs of those around me. And now i find myself helpless and desperate for any sort of help or guidance. Ive never known normal and dont even know if i believe in it. But ive always felt like the lack of said normalcy has created a burden or insatiable monster inside me.  Is this what is keeping me awake? Maybe its the lack of having anything important or exciting to look forward to tomorrow. Or maybe its the complete disgust for my own lack of ability to help myself.

I have to end this post because as anticipated it is becoming too depressing. Back to silently barring more than any boy should have to.

Hey everyone!

I havnt wrote a straight up blog in a bit. So here goes!

Last week TAL got together to play music for the first time in over a month! We had three awesome Jams and one AMAZING show with our boys in Silverstien who are celebrating their ten-year! Congrats to them! Although I wasnt heavily influenced by Silverstien at any point in my life, I once read a blog by Paul Kholer and it might have been one of the largest influences on my life.

In his blog on his myspace. Paul spoke about being in Australia on tour and just loving his life as a musician. He was amitst doing his own clothing company thing and I found it super inspiring. So it was great to once again share a stage with him and all the sick kids in Silverstien.

Also Last week we got to go “shopping” (I use that term lightly as for the better part of my life shopping included exchanging money for goods) at west 49 in Yorkdale mall! I got a bunch of wicked cool gear from Circa, Nike, West 49, Almost, Diamond Supply Co and more! So a huuuge thanks to everyone @ West.

Last night we did a photo shoot for upcoming press ect. It was our first photo shoot as a three piece and it was fun to work what we called “The Golden Triangle” haha We used a really sweet smokey grey backdrop and we all had some sort of color on. I think They are going to look great! I tried to get a few photos for personal use too so if I get them, I will post them on here! =)

Im currently like 34-3 on roll up the rim and it doesnt matter haha In fact in sipping and extra large TT right now, just waiting to roll it up afterward.

Last night I watched Grandma’s Boy with my friend Torrie. I’ve seen it before but it’s freakin hilarious!

Apparently Next Tuesday TAL are going to a fashion show! For Toronto’s Fashion week? lol Should be a good time! Ill def be posting some pictures, info, and stories about that!

Anyways,

Jake

Hey yall.

So I was out on my balcony dreaming, looking out at my favorite city and places and wanted to come up with something cool and creative we could all do together.

When I was in high school a bunch of kids paired up and made little flags of their home country and sewed them together to make one giant flag.

ESSENTIALLY i want to do the same thing with life and crime.

so here is the plan:

CREATE A GIANT LIFE & CRIME BANNER OUT OF BEDSHEETS!

HOW YOU CAN HELP: I need 10 BEDSHEETS (ONE FOR EACH LETTER PLUS AN “&”)

Im going to do L which leaves 9 characters. – I.F.E. & .C.R.I.M.E

I need you to make A letter and make it crazy and unique! it can represent you, or where you live, it can be anything you want as long as its on a bed sheet and in the shape of your letter. you can paint, draw on it, sign your names, sew, anything!

SO CONTACT ME and let me know if you are interested in making a letter. You can do it alone or with friends, you can do half and then mail it to another friend, whatever. just get a BED SHEET AND DECORATE YOUR LETTER ON IT. (make sure your letter takes up most of the sheet, you can get bedsheets at the dollar store or goodwill if you dont have a old one kickin around.)

BE AS CREATIVE AS YOU WANT!

Once you finish your sheet mail it to me! @

LIFE & CRIME
1-1432 Queen Street West
Toronto ON CA
M6K 1L9

When the banner is complete ill take it to the top of this large hill by my house and take a photo!
