My all time favourite mammal, the Polar Bear and the Hippopotamus, whom I am fairly indifferent about (but bare no I'll will towards), are now on the endangered species list.

The world needs a new global organisation dedicated to stemming the loss of plant and animal species.A panel of 19 leading scientists have written an open letter in Nature magazine outlining their plans for an Intergovernmental Panel on Biodiversity.

The exact details I'm not clear on, but from my understanding Declans family owns what once use to be a summer camp on Lake Simcoe. The piece of land consists of 3 cottages on 8 acres of land over looking the west shore of Lake Simcoe, in a little town called Beaverton. Regardless of it's back story, the place was gorgeous and we had a blast. We drove up there Friday night after work and came back on Sunday night.
I picked up a helpful bit of information which I'll share for the sake of anyone that is planning to go into the "outdoors" this summer season. Apparently just because it's a breezy cool day, it doesn't mean that sun screen is not required if your going to be hanging out by the water all day (learnt that the hard way the next morning!).
I'm not much for writing today, so I'll let my photos do the talking.

This post will consist of four points, the first being this point outlining the content of this post which will be followed by points about the movie, and will close with my recommendation; without further ado, lets begin.
The movie starts off with music playing against the backdrop of a pitch black screen, you hear a beat building up and your brain quickly starts scanning it's archives to figure out what that beat is. By the time the screen fades from black to the actual starting movie credits, you realise that this movie begins by playing some DJ Shadow (Six Days [Mos Def Remix], from the album Private Repress), and from there the music just progressively gets more bad ass. Case in point, later on in the film they break out some classic Atari Teenage Riot (Speed, from the album Burn, Berlin, Burn), it was such 90's retro digital hardcore goodness, and so fitting with the Tokyo drifting/gearhead theme, that it was chilling how good of a choice in music they made.
Point the third, is that if you have ever played Namco's Ridge Racer, and have relished every second of the drifts used to shave seconds off your laps in tight turns, then this film is for you.
Point the fourth, my wrap up of this review. This movie was much better than 2 Fast 2 Furious, and in the archives of cheesy guy flicks this definitely ranks in there as one of them. Plus that surprise ending, bravo sirs, bravo. And lets not forget that awesome zinger at Hyundai owners, ehh jcloth?
Suporflous filler
random fact: Toyo donated 4000 tires for the movie. Roughly half were used. Volk Racing donated 170 wheels as well.
random fact: All of the drifting in the movie was performed by professional drivers, not created by CGI. As reported in a recent Sport Compact Car, Rhys Millen, his father, and a handful of other famous rally and drift racers consistently performed amazing drift sequences for the movie.
Here are some girls posing with the cars from the film, truly the stars of the show (I think I meant the cars...):

Too Damn Popular
mood: meh
music playing: Norma Jean - Pretty Soon, I Don't Know What, But Something
At a casino you are not allowed to take out, let alone operate any sort of electronic device. As such, I left my phone and stuff in the safe confines of my vehicle. Upon returning to said vehicle I saw that I forgot to turn the phone off, so I had 11 missed calls and 4 SMS messages. It's late o'clock right now so if you expect a call back forget it, I'm passing out, good nite bitches.
