Before I start, I’d like to preface that everything I’m about to write is purely observational. This is based completely on pop culture and popular western media: the big screen and the big budget TV shows. The only spoilers will be ones that have nothing to do with the story line. I’m most likely missing [...]

Okay, lets get serious here for a moment.

Canadian Club Whisky Tour: Day One
On 17, Apr 2012 | One Comment | In Memoirs | By reggie
I’ve attended a lot of fun little events in my years of blogging. The cool thing about going to events is that you get treated like gold by people who don’t understand a lick of what you do. They just know you know people. Or something.
While the folks at Praxis sure know what bloggers do (and how to connect to us), I really enjoyed meeting the family oriented team at Canadian Club in Windsor, ON. They didn’t understand a damn thing about what we did, what a Twitters was, or what a blog was. All they knew was we write and a lot of people listen.
Hey, that’s cool with me.
A Voicemail from “P”

“P”.
If you’ve followed my stories on My Name Was Ruckus, you may recall an out of control, hot headed friend of mine that may rival all future super thug friends as “most legit gangster human being ever”.
Philips Bodygroom Pro: Smoothing out the trolls
On 16, Mar 2012 | No Comments | In Memoirs | By reggie
I feel kind of bad.
I can’t even count how many months ago I had received a special care package from the friendly felines at Philips. Things got extremely busy, especially before Xmas and into the start of 2012, and the Philips Bodygroom Pro box had been sitting directly in front of my bed for 3 months now.
However, thanks to my jungly nature, the time came when a trim wouldn’t be enough.
WARNING: This post is even too TMI for me.
Five Kick-Ass iPhone Apps (+2 more goodies)

Every iPhone is different. Why? Because of the apps. Lets take a peak at my most recent favourites that I’ve been leg humping vigorously.

Well, lookie here. We’re almost mid month and I still haven’t sent my thank you’s.
Plaza Flamingo: That place you always curiously pass by
On 12, Dec 2011 | 2 Comments | In Memoirs | By reggie
I hit Plaza Flamingo on the weekend. It’s one of those places that I’ve passed by on numerous occasions while heading to Sneaky Dee’s for Kings Crown nachos or Utopia for a burg. Being a restaurant and a salsa club, it’s one of those places where I need to be mentally ready to take on; my salsa experience rests somewhere between making sh*t up and an introduction to salsa class that I picked up off a daily deal a few months ago. I picked the moves up rather quickly, but I need a lot more practice before I can say I’m comfortable with it.
However the dinner portion, I need no prep for such a thing.
You gotta read this sh**
Ramone in the Philippines, Part 1: An Identity Crisis, War Stories, and an Introduction to Tito Dougs
This is a five part series on the Philippines, posted daily at 9am from now until Monday. Be sure to stop by daily to get your fix. Enjoy!
It’s been over a year that I’ve been planning on writing something about my life changing trip to the Philippines. Figure now is the best time to. I [...]
My Name Was Ruckus, Part 1: That High School Sh**.
Man oh man. If I could only remember half of what I did in high school, I’d be writing books right now.
In an effort to unearth past gems and shed light on things that’ve been well buried in the back of my skeletal closet, I’ve decided my next story for the Book of Ramone will [...]
Ramone in Las Vegas (2008): Chow Yun-Fat, More Blackouts, and a $600 Lapdance
It’s been almost a year since I’ve last written one of my poll response posts. I can’t lie, the poll winner was one of the topics I’ve been dreading to write about (although lukewarm compared to the ones I really fear).
Whatever happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas.
That’s what boring people do. Unless you end up [...]
Nuit Blotched: A Traumatizing Look Back at Nuit Blanche 2008
Years back we were a bit obnoxious.
We drank excessively.
We yelled at people.
We took over dance floors.
But one night I can truly say was one of the most epic nights in Toronto. It was Nuit Blanche, 2008.
Seven of us were at my place, guzzling back the Red Bull + Vodkas. It was my party-with-energy drink, and [...]
Honda Canada: “Happy Birthday Reggie, Here’s an Acura!” + Another Blackout Birthday Bash
That’s it, everybody. I’m 30. And I had a bad-ass birthday to report.
I’m probably the last person in the world who’s afraid of turning the page into the next set of double digits, but I think most of it has to do with the ageless Asian genes. It sure rocks when I don’t look a [...]
