Jon Jon Jon: December 2011
http://jonbartel.blogspot.com/2011_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 4, 2011. Lately I've been unsuccessfully, and rather messily, trying my hand at baking! That said, I actually rather enjoy baking! Something about messing around in the kitchen brings about a sort of deep, very real sense of joy. Food is, inherently, a joyful thing to me. That sounds ridiculous. But really, I think Kar and I both see food as a form of community, or at least a catalyst to it. As noted boldly on top of the recipe card Dad scanned and beamed over to me.). Thursday, December...

Jon Jon Jon: Punch Brothers!
http://jonbartel.blogspot.com/2012/02/punch-brothers.html
Wednesday, February 29, 2012. Saw "Punch Brothers" at Lee's Palace last night. It was a mind grenade. Punch Brothers is one of those bands that can play most of a tune at 45%, throwing in little flashes of dominance to keep everybody honest, in a way that leaves you feeling like perhaps that last tune wasn't so impressive. until you take it home and destroy your left hand for 3 hours working through the intro at half-speed. This kind of music induces a sort of rolling laughter in me. Posted by Jon Bartel.

Jon Jon Jon: November 2010
http://jonbartel.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Thursday, November 11, 2010. I really believe in living presently. I have a dream, somewhere in there amongst other vague ambitions and ideals, of me and my son or daughter running around on the front lawn after dinner as the sun sets over the field out back. It's a cute image. all the parents reading this are rolling their eyes and dying to tell me how things really go. Posted by Jon Bartel. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Jon Jon Jon: Work
http://jonbartel.blogspot.com/2012/01/test.html
Saturday, January 28, 2012. And so I sit here, at this cluttered desk, and work. But not without a few reminders, on top of a speaker here, or tucked in beside a monitor there, that not all Saturdays have been spent here, stolen away in this quiet basement, on task, on schedule. Do people actually say no? My memories are much less tangible. a sort of overall experience that I'll never forget. This one just makes me lose it every single time I look at it. look at that girl! On the back of the picture,.

Jon Jon Jon: June 2010
http://jonbartel.blogspot.com/2010_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 9, 2010. Sweet thing happened yesterday. Made me smile. brought me back a few years. I had just gotten home from work. it was probably shortly after 7:00p. The night before, Kar and Kim had planted their annual summer garden out back. Not a big one, but plenty of good bounty, to be sure. tomatoes, Cucumbers, and herbs galore. But I digress. He was just hanging out in our back yard. Well. the 'man doesn't really ever just 'hang out' does he? We chose to place him from and centre. right...

Wednesday, July 14, 2010. A couple of newsworthy items in today's post. Firstly, we (CTV) built a new room downtown, and for the past few weeks I've been down here getting the ball rolling, working out kinks, and mixing for MTV, Much Music, etc. It's been a total blast. There's something about working downtown. lots going on. more energy, you know? The second bit of news is that we got a new lens, and it's totally fun! Soooo I thought I'd combine the two and make a photoblog! A CD player tied into ProToo...

Jon Jon Jon: August 2010
http://jonbartel.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Friday, August 13, 2010. At a cursory glance, a solo drive across the whole of central and western North America seems a daunting idea. Three days alone in a car. Three days of prairies, and road construction, of truck-stop snack food and the soft-focus companionship of those arbitrary, warm-glow taillights. But a 15 hour drive is an opportunity. And three consecutive 15 hour drives is a gold-mine. Consider the luxury of being able to complete a thought. What do I call a good friend? What did I value?
