Hello folks fans and freaks!

My job in the big city of Ottawa has ended and it’s now time for another adventure! Where this world will take me I have no idea! I have my passport in hand and a whole slew of credentials backing me up! However, don’t forget that I am always available as a freelance writer for hire! I can do my own photography and graphic design as well. If interested send emails to dr.jaycole@gmail.com

This weeks story involves a passage through time. We in Canada have no history in comparison with the other side of the world with all their green pastures and whatnot. We have modern wooden and plastic homes that are built to fail us. We have no ruins, no ancient architecture and no structural artifacts have been discovered buried under sands. This leads me to my question, while Rome was being built, what were the people here doing? How come the tribes didnt build pyramids like in Mexico? Why were no roads made? Was life all about living WITH the earth as opposed to living ON the earth? I think yes. It seems our societies these days just don’t care about the ol earth anymore. We cut down trees, plant new trees, cut them down again, pinching, pulling, and pissing all over her. It’s no great wonder that we are plagued with monsoons, tsunamis’s, tidal waves, flooding, pestilence and disease. If Karma is real, and I faithfully believe her to be a real mean ol bitch of a thing, then we totally deserve everything we get thrown at us. From oil spills in the ocean to moving mountains and diverting natural waterways, we have been poking and prodding at our great mother for far too long, and soon my friends it is bound to happen that she twitches at the pinches and wipes us clear. I’m not gonna mention 2012, woops, I just did!
All in all,there have been hundreds of these “End of the world” scenarios played out over our time, and also through our parents times and none have yet to come true. This “big one” however, is so huge that it has to make you think for a moment, “Could it be real?”
Could the end of the world as predicted by the Mayans be more hooplah, or could it be true, even metaphorically? Perhaps the world doesn’t end in the sense that all life is obliverated, but maybe something else will happen that will hinder our current earthly views on “the way it is supposed to be”.

I’m not into spurting lame facts and timelines at you, so you can do your own research and we shall leave todays’ rant on that down-note.

Peace,
Dr. Jay Cole

Hello Folks, fans and freaks!

I am now writing to you from our Nations’ beautiful Capital City of Ottawa, Ontario. I am working diligently at being the best activity leader this language academy has ever had! My group of Spaniards arrived on July 3rd at the Montreal Airport. I drove with the bus driver to pick them up and get them all back to Ottawa and distributed the students out to their host families where they will be living while they are here. Each group gets a chaperone/translator from their country to help out with keeping the kids in line. Their ages range from 16 to 18 years old and so far, my group is the most well behaved, yet they are all equally as crayzee… So far we have gone to play mini golf, museums, canoeing, and we also had a charter bus take us to Niagara Falls for a day! This week, it looks like rain, so a few of our Beach day activities have been cancelled and moved ahead further in the month.

Yesterday was the final showdown for the World Football Cup, Spain vs Netherlands… we took our two groups of students along with two chaperones downtown to a local sports bar/restaurant where we could watch the game on big screens. A few of the students had staggered on ahead of the group and managed to get a seat in what was a full capacity bar upon our arrival. In fact, once we checked for other venues, we realized that they were all at capacity.
And so we ventured through the streets of Ottawa searching out a new place to watch this great boring game of soccer. A restaurant accross the street had opened up a closed section and brought in two televisions and hooked up the game. We seated for drinks and entree’s while the game played on. The ball was passed and passed and passed once more before I got bored enough to leave and venture further down the street in search of a new venue. A friend of mine, DJ Sir-K of the Ultrasound Collective joined in with myself, David and Carolina the two chaperones. We discovered the Lieutenants Pump on Elgin street and found that this just may be the last remaining bar in Ottawa that will let you smoke out on the patio! Let us in! We ordered some more drinks and then it came, the shouts and roars from inside the bar, and as we looked inside we could only see sorrow and disgust on the faces of those all garbed in orange, the color of the Netherlands team.
The four of us continued to order more drinks as the cars flew by blasting their horns, waiving their Spain flags out the windows and chanting in the streets! What a great sense of country pride they have!
If only we in Canada could learn from them we might have some fun in this place. Today, the museum of civilazation awaits us! and i’m due to get out of this air conditioned office for the last remaining rays of sunlight before the rain hits us tomorrow!

Peace,
Dr. Jay Cole,

Hello Folks fans and freaks!

This is it people! The big move is fast upon me! On Friday July 25th I am Ottawa bound for a job at the GEOS language academy. This will beef up my resume before heading overseas to teach English. There is also music afoot! I will be connecting with the lovely Vanilla-V for some more sweet sounds as well as old friends like DJ Sir-K from the Ultrasound Collective. This summer is a summer of hard work and promotions as we try and get this wickedbad compilation album off the ground! I have Hopes and Dreams of bringing our Halifax Dj’s to Ontario to show off their stuff! Drum and bass is growing fast in Ottawa with weekly shows and hardcore followers treking all the way from MTL and the big Tee Dot! Support your Dj Troops!

Peace,
Dr.Jay Cole

Hello folks, fans and freaks!

Sure has been a while since I wrote anything here, been working hard on wickedbad promo’s with Paper Bag Face and the gang but there has been a little something something on my mind.

Here is a little facebook background info:

Yesterday I learned “HOW TO” master a song from my fellow wickedbadian Mat Trouble. Some think that mastering is a fine art and it should cost millions of dollars and take ten years to perfect. Some think this is bullshit. I am part of the latter.

When it comes to businesses, its all a big farce. Let me just play out a scenario for you with my own dealing in business as a graphic designer.

Jay: Hey, so i’m going to design your business cards for you?
Client: Thanks Jay, how much does it cost?
Jay: How much are you willing to pay?
Client: I heard they are charging 150$ for a design accross town
Jay: Well i’m a dirty cut-throat SOB so i’ll only charge you $100.00
Client: Thats a little steep, and you are just a young guy!
Jay: I have over ten years of experience!
Client: Oh! well in that case, see you tomorrow!
**Jay goes home and takes FIVE MINTUES to design the card.
Two days later:
Jay: Here is your design, it took me an extra day because of all the designing and setup and layout that is required (total bullshit)
and here you go!
Client: Oh, can you change my email address? i have a new one
Jay: Oh, no, i would have to go back into the original file and rework the fonts… might take me a few hours (in reality, it takes only seconds)
Client: Hey, no problem, you are the qualified expert in this matter… i’ll leave it up to you and you can adjust my bill accordingly
***Jay goes home and fixes the email address and adds $50 to the price!

So when it takes me only five minutes to complete, there’s no way i’m going to tell the client it took such a short time because they won’t think they are getting their moneys worth, we also add dollars to the price when we buff up our creds by saying shit like “oh, this is ten years of experience in design behind me”

The dealership tells me that I am not qualified to change the oil in my car because I did not take a mechanics course.
The baker tells me that only HE can get these fine grains imported from china (flower bought at sobeys)
The music industry is no different.

As for mastering, our hearing degrades with every beat in the headphones, do you really trust someone’s hearing after ten years of doing that? And as long as your tunes dont blow any speakers, the common folks out there wont be able to tell the difference anyways.

So please don’t believe everything you hear. There will always be someone like me trying to hype up their business so they can charge you more!

Peace,
Dr.Jay Cole

Hello Folks, Fans and Freaks,

I’ve been holed up in this small house out in Eastern Passage, for y’all who aint be knownst, thats located at the mouth of the harbour and it is nothing but suburbia for as far as the eye can see. Lawn gnomes, shruberires and SUV’s pollute the countryside here, and strangely, the lawns on your street all get cut the same day, I am sure there is some sort of conspiracy at play here.
I live in this house because I am the caretaker, or house sitter if you will and living out here in middle of nowhere can drive a person madd. Quite madd indeed.

Hello folks, fans and freaks alike,

Q.
Where the hell has Dr.Cole been? Where the hell is Dr.Coles’ weekly web log entry?

A.
I have been working on music, thank’s for your patience, here is the first completed song off the new album, “No Rest for the Wickedbad” and this one was produced by the WickedBad man himself, Mr. Dj DVD aka BackSlashZero!

Enjoy!

I honestly have not had a lot of time on my hands for writing as of late, I’m also working ever so diligently at getting this house ready to be sold. There is a great deal of work to be done here, and unfortunately writing will have to take the back burner for a while.
The plan is back in action! I will be returning to the piece of shit capital city of Ottawa Ontario this summer to be with friends with whom I will journey with overseas come cold season. I need a clear head for a couple of months in order to get this move, uhm, in order. The hustle is on. The grind is burning my nose flesh, and the smell is making me nauseous. So the sooner the better.

Peace \ /

Hello Folks fans, friends and Freaks!

This weeks installment is nothing more than a large plug for the
Doritos Viralocity contest that is happening right now in Canada!

Here is whatsup!

Doritos wants people to make a video commercial no longer than 60seconds and have it viewed by millions of people, each view creates points for the video.

The video with the most points on March 31st will win 100,000 dollars!
If the user reaches Maximum Viralocity (10,000,000 points), the winner will win a total of 250,000 dollars!

The Buttah:
WHEN we win, we will throw the largest free party that the east coast has ever witnessed! We are talking wharehouse, inflatable castle, all the dj’s that we know and YOU! FREE!

What I am asking of you, is that you will go to this website:

CLICK HERE FOR THE VIDEO!

and watch our video, give it a five star rating, and then favorite it!
That will award us with 7 points, so do it from as many different computers as you can and each extra time we get 5 points (since you can only rate and favorite it once)
If you can get someone from overseas to watch the vid, we get 100 points.
The video with the most points at the end of each week gets an automatic 1000 bonus points so we need to act quickly because the top points are up over 20,000 right now!

Come on east coast! lets make this musicians dreams come true and in return, you too get to benefit from the greatest party ever thrown!

It is so excruciatingly important that you watch the entire video or we dont get any points, they are based upon youtube views and there is no view recorded for vids that are not watched in their entirety.

Thanks to all of you in advance for the help!

Peace, Love, and Happyness!

Hello Folks, Fans and Freaks!

Bikes! Bikers are everywhere! No, not motorcycles… but cyclists! They plow through on their dual wheeled mechanisms even through the toughest of winter days. Why do they do this? It doesn’t matter. It’s their own ‘thing’ and we have to let them do it, the same way we all drive around in warm vehickles and they leave us to it.
There is however a problem or an annoyance I will go on about for a little bit, and that problem is when I’m driving around the city and having to lean over into the oncoming traffic to make room for a cyclist who has leaned over into my lane because of cars parked on the side where the bicycle should be. (Why are so many cars allowed to park on streets where there are only two lanes, and skinny lanes at that? (If it was up to me, the cyclists would all be regulated to the sidewalks!) which leads me to todays issue.
Why we don’t have bike lanes like they do in other cities?
I spent some time in our nations Capital of Ottawa Ontario where biking is even bigger than it is here, so large in fact that a piece of the daily traveled road is blocked off every Sunday for cyclists to have their own roadly real estate. The streets share what they call “Bike lanes”. Most of these lanes are located next to the sidewalks, this means for wider roads yes, but they do in most places have narrower sidewalks. And there are strangely enough, bike lanes that traverse through the middle of the two automobile lanes. This is a city where government officials and university Professors travel on bikes to work each day, and biking has not been delegated to only the hippies or people who can’t afford cars.

I believe that it is because of the people in high power positions riding bikes that they get to have such glorious bike lanes in the city.
And if we could alleviate the stigma of cyclists being tree hugging granolas, students and poor people then maybe other folks might not look at it as a bad or Low-Class sort of thing.
If other cities in this country could get their high-powered folks to step up to the bike and peddle their bodies around, for whatever personal reason they may have, then other cities may also have a chance of getting groovy bike lanes. Another point for the bikers in Ontario is that Ontario does not have an enforced bike helmet law, this is a major reason for the surplus of bikers found scooting around. The bikers themselves do not consist of hippies trying to save the planet because their hippie friends are doing it too, no, these are highly educated people who are doing it for other reasons, fitness, saving money on using their cars (They DO own cars, they choose not to drive them) The parking has also hit the level of sky-rocketing prices in Ottawa which I’m sure is a contributing factor in this issue as well. So, lets go over this once quickly, maybe I can point out some things that could allow other smaller cities to have their own bike lanes installed…

If we stop thinking only hippies, students and poor people bike around, get that mentality out of our heads, then maybe some higher-ups will start doing it!
Helmet Laws: GONE!
Raise Parking Prices!
Install Pay-by-Day Bike racks with built in Locking mechanisms (So cyclists don’t have to carry around bulky bike locks)

But in the end, I just want cyclists to stop riding their bikes so far out from the curb that it forces us drivers to go over into the oncoming traffic. Also, stop driving in the middle as if you were a motorcycle or a car, because you are not and you will get run over.

Hello folks, fans and freaks! (and parents too!)

Everything is made up of strategies these days. For example: M’Lady and I took her little four year old brother to his third class of Soccer. The building is an old school converted into a community recreational centre. There aren’t a great deal of kids in his class, and he is doing rather well for being a little guy. The amount of kids however in the entire building, is enough that they put vending machines in the front lobby. You need to pass by these machines, with little kids who always want stuff, to get to the gym rooms. So after much persuading (tugging, pulling, feet stomping, sad face, tears, you know… general tantrum throwing) we take a look inside the machine to see what great things he can have. We could not find one item in either machine that would benefit young children who are hard at play. The first way our stupid minds work is to try and get around the issue, “Maybe on the way out”.
What kind of sick world do we live in where we allow these companies in to try and feed our developing children chocolate bars and candy? On the way out of the gym room after class, there is another little meltdown due to these machines. These people are counting on kids to make their money, counting on kids to freak out, and for parents to be weak and give in. The candy and chocolate companies build yet more repoir with the child where they learn that freakouts will get them, perhaps more candy from the same companies later on in life, at say the supermarket, the corner store or even at school. We need to end this shit once and for all! I say we get some rocks and throw them through the windows of these machines and take all the crap out and replace it with healthy foods. Do you think they will get the message and change anything? Or do you think we’ll get in shit over it and have to replace the windows in the machines? Terrible how we let machines in to our lives to ruin them. Take the computer for example… How many of you WASTED time on that piece of shit today? Me? i’m writing something productive, (the rest of the day was wasted on here tho!)
There is a great website I must promote, it is called “STUMBLEUPON”.
Stumble lets you setup a quick user profile where the user is allowed to select a variety of topics that this website will bounce around through. Have you ever been bored and wanted to waste some time online, and you sit down at the computer and there it is… or there it is ‘isn’t’ i should say. Your mind is gone. Drawn a blank. What was I going to search for? There had been hundreds of questions you had been having all day but where are they now? Stumble will fill that void for you and assist you to live, love and laugh through your interests without you having to remember what you are interested in. Short term memory problems in people let them lead an interesting life because they never know what just happened and so things are new quite oftenly. Then they make up words.
