Firstly, the long overdue May 2-4 pictures are up. Find them here.

Secondly, Scott has a new movie update, check that here.

Thirdly, here's a quote from Chuck Norris regarding the Chuck Norris Facts website:

I'm aware of the made up declarations about me that have recently begun to appear on the Internet and in emails as "Chuck Norris facts." I've seen some of them. Some are funny. Some are pretty far out. Being more a student of the Wild West than the wild world of the Internet, I'm not quite sure what to make of it. It's quite surprising. I do know that boys will be boys, and I neither take offense nor take these things too seriously. Who knows, maybe these made up one-liners will prompt young people to seek out the real facts as found in my recent autobiographical book, "Against All Odds"? They may even be interested enough to check out my novels set in the Old West, "The Justice Riders," released this month. I'm very proud of these literary efforts.

Located on 14th Street just after crossing the Ambassador Bridge, you have the Train Station; and next to the Train Station you have the Detroit Public School Warehouse (Roosevelt Warehouse).

I recently explored this building with Dziamaarsky & Donnie; you can check it out here.

With the 3rd anniversary of Belle River Nation having come and gone; I figured I should show some appreciation to the people that have supported it from the start, or have just generally supported this BRN agenda.

So last week I took my weekly pay from Ford's and bought up 9 houses for 10 of my friends & family. Now we can all live near each other in the 3rd world city known as Detroit. It only cost me $36400 USD...approximately what I get from Ford's weekly, plus or minus a chili cheese burrito or two.

Monaghan will be missed if he moves to Toronto...so I picked him up this nice pink bungalow to remove any need for him to leave. Your welcome buddy!

Property #2.

Kolowicz is one of those guys I don't mind, but I wouldn't go out of my way for; so I picked him up the cheapest property I could find.

Property #3.
Screenshot
I always felt bad for Scott for having to live in La Salle...so I picked up this property for him...added bonus: he no longer has to take out the trash.

Property #4.
Screenshot
This one I picked up for Kayla & me. Kayla is a sucker for white lattice fence & I'm a sucker for 2 100 sq ft of living area...here to Detroit's first skatepark being in our yard.

Property #5.
Screenshot
Remax.com is quoted as saying "large porch for extra entertainment," so now we don't need to go to Puce anymore... forget Windsor; this is JC's new place.

Property #6.
Screenshot
I like fucking with Ludwig, so I picked up the smallest house listed (576 sq.ft.). Now we have a place for a World Cup party!

Property #7.
Screenshot
If I'm purchasing all this property for others, how can I leave my parents out?...and with my dad being retired, he has something to do now in this quaint fixer-up'er.

Property #8.
Screenshot
Vacant land in Detroit...how can I go wrong with this purchase?
Trails Dziamaarsky?

Property #9.
Screenshot
Whoops I almost forgot Warriner...so I hurried and picked up this house & will even throw in the extra flashlight that Remax recommends you bring along.

Disclaimer: Firstly, my intention is not to poke fun at the ghetto or these houses...my intention is to poke fun at the Remax listings. I thank my lucky stars I live in Belle River & not on Fenkell, Hamilton or Chene Street in Detroit. Secondly, I'm not trying to floss money...I constantly get "buy me this, you work at Ford's" comments...which is all I'm trying to refer to.

Dziamaarsky & I headed to the Stoney Point skatepark today and saw about the most "Stoney Point" thing you could see. A kid showed up to the skatepark on a 4 wheeler, smoking & wearing a G-Unit shirt.

Other than that, I was happy with wall riding the same back board and props to Dziamaarsky for taking such a great picture.

"My receipts! The chair! My tiger poster!"
-George Costanza

I need an abacus. Really, I do need an abacus to count the number of references to George Costanza that I get whenever I pull out my wallet. Much like George, I keep everything that has any semblance of usefulness (see: Participating Florida Exxon Gas Station Tiger Poster Voucher), stored away in my wallet in case of ever needing it. But, there comes a time every year when it just gets too big to the point where I would actually need sugar packets like George to balance myself. That point comes about usually when I sit imbalanced, my pants fit too tight and when it looks like I'm carrying a GameBoy in my back pocket everywhere.

Lets take a look inside...
