KRISTIANDAVID LOOKS AWESOME IN THESE SHOTS FROM ’09
kristianDavid has had quite the 2009! so since everyone and their uncles are doing their own year end newsletters, i thought to myself “self, i should hop on that bandwagon!” and here i am, hopping on said bandwagon...by the way, what the heck is a bandwagon anyways?! i mean i know what a
I GREW A ‘STACHE
wagon is, i’m familiar with bands, i could even understand a ‘wagonband’(obviously that’s a band that plays wagon music). but a bandwagon? the very definition eludes me quite frankly but i’ll put that aside for a future newsletter. for now, let’s
I PUT MY THUMB UP
continue with this edition which focusses on the year that was 2009, and the man that is kristianDavid. enjoy.
I TOLD JEFF I JUST LIKE HIM AS A FRIEND
a year in the life... this year was very eventful at kristian manor (by the way, i call my apartment kristian manor. don’t ask me why, i’m just weird like that sometimes. )
2009 WAS AT LEAST 4.9 TIMES BETTER THAN 410! work, work, work... at the start of 2009 things were humming along quite nicely. kristian had a good job at a software company in north york designing online applications for the canadian healthcare system. sadly the inner politics forced him out of his comfort zone and back into the job market. ..for 3 days. man were those a rough few days!! after weighing his many job offers from such places as Apple, Google, Pixar, Kellogg’s, Skittles, WonderBread, NHL, Foster’s, and HP, he decided to take a position with Pinpoint Media Group as their web designer. Pinpoint is located just off queen st. in downtown toronto and specializes in out-of-home marketing. been to a Mac’s convenience store and seen those tv’s with ads or the posters in the windows or the stickers on the floors? then you’ve probably seen kristian’s work on display. he quickly fit in with the company and before long was designing websites, ads and even getting involved in heavy-duty development. the bosses quickly took notice and gave him a corner office, brand new Lexus and his own skittles expense account. (ok actually he got none of those things and the list of companies above might be a slight exaggeration as well) this new job provided him the rewarding and challenging atmosphere he had been looking for all along. not to mention that on his second day of work there they had a summer fiesta on their balcony overlooking downtown. with beer and everything!!! how cool is that?!
AL F IE ALFIE THE IPOD HAS BEEN A GREAT ADDITION TO THE KRISTIANDAVID CLAN. HE WAS ADOPTED IN LATE SPRING AND HAS SPREAD JOY IN THE FORM OF MUSIC, VIDEO, DIGITAL FART NOISES, ETC. WE CAN’T REMEMBER WHAT LIFE WAS LIKE WITHOUT HIM AND HOPE WE NEVER HAVE TO.
RO B E RT PAULSON ROBERT PAULSON JOINED THE KRISTIANDAVID FAMILY IN MID-2009. YEP, HE’S A PENGUIN. AND YES, THAT IS CHUCK PALAHNIUK’S AUTOGRAPH ON HIS BELLY. ROBERT PAULSSON DOESN’T BATHE MUCH. BUT HIS FOOT SQUEAKS!
R ICKY BJO R N THE UNICORN WHAT’S THE ONE THING EVERY GUY WISHES HE HAD?! YUP, A UNICORN. THAT DREAM WAS BROUGHT TO LIFE IN JANUARY WHEN KRISTIAN WAS GIVEN RICKY BJORN THE UNICORN AS A BIRTHDAY GIFT. DON’T WORRY, SO FAR HE’S YET TO USE HIS MAGICAL HORN FOR EVIL.
just when you thought there was nothing left to say about 2009, along comes page 3 to prove you wrong!!! movin’ on up... mid-summer of 2009 saw kristian make a big move...literally. tiring of the 2 hours of time a day spent on the TTC (which by the way stands for Take The Car), he chose to make the move downtown. after weeks of looking at bachelor apartments the size of a walkin closet and condos the price of small countries, he finally found a place to call home. it’s a bachelor apartment a short 5 minute walk from work in downtown toronto’s entertainment district.
bathroom with a bathtub, large storage space, electrical outlets, a sink, light switches, and a peephole, just to name a few of the high-class amenities!
MEMORABLE FACES
next time you’re in downtown toronto feel free to give kristian a call to set up an appropriate time to come check it out. (please note : he requires 48 hour notice, a non-refundable $5 deposit and a bottle of the finest lager England has to offer) THE FELL AS
after years of living in people’s basements, he now has an aboveground place to call his own. it has a large balcony, central air, cupboards, full
...SO I SAYS TO THE GUY, “THAT’S NOT A TURTLE, IT’S AN ARTICHOKE!!!”
oh yeah, his sister Brie got married this year too! he’s the good looking one far right.

2010 EVENTS
.....ummmm, insert clever title here.
1. JAN 13 KRISTIAN’S 31ST!
that’s pretty much it. i really can’t think of anything else terribly interesting to speak of. i just thought 5 pages was a nice round number for a newsletter.
2. FEB 2 THE DAY AFTER FEB 1 3. FEB 11-13 VISIT THE JOE!!! 4. APRIL 35 DOESN’T EXIST 5. JULY 10 1 YEAR ANNIVERSARY AT PINPOINT 6. SEPT 23 INSERT INTERESTING EVENT HERE
stay tuned next year where i will be divulging details of all the cool 2010 events such as my birthday, 2 trips to The Joe(and if you just asked yourself ‘What is The Joe?’ you’re automatically removed from my list of awesome people who know cool things. yes that list exists and yes i will know if you asked yourself that question or not!),
so i guess i still have to type some more to fill up this last column huh? ok, well as i type this i’m looking out my window watching some fireworks. not sure what they’re for but they sure look neat. also, across the street from my apartment is a huge rachael mcadams poster for the sherlock holmes movie. so that’s pretty cool. ok i think that’s enough to make this newsletter seem full. thanks for reading. til next time, keep fit and have fun.
