This idea has been bouncing around in my head for a while now, so here it is. The Homie Blog. I am going to start with my good friend Anthony. He has been my homie since January of '99 so that is almost 8 years. I hope that you have a friend as amazing as him.
This was taken in the summer of '99 on my first trip out to Southern Manitoba. He took me around to a tonne of tiny towns with 'nort, blumen' or 'hoff in their names.
Anthony was passing through my neck of the woods, so I took him to the Kootenay's best street spot. This is also my favourite picture of the two of us (shot by Melissa).
When I moved out to Winnipeg I moved into a basement apartment with him, he hated that place, but I think it was sort of cool. At the time he developed photos for money, this led to random photos showing up in my room. This one is of him, but others were of fat cats or me (shot sniper style through windows without me knowing about it, totally creepy).
Basement haircut.
This one is in the backyard of The Mansion. I hope that you can tell by the photo, how entirely stoked he is on those boots and long underwear shirt.
That is no sissy 4 inch screen. He rolls with full size house TV's.
Middle of the afternoon at the Dethbridge skatepark. I can't believe how hot that little pit can get. As a bonus , there is a BMX track right beside it that is so hardpacked that you can skate it. This photo is classic Anthony.
Anthony started rocking the asymetrical hair way before Luke. However, Luke did stick with it.
Rooftop BBQ. I don't know if you can see it or not, but he is swinging two wieners as if they were Nunchucks (that spelling is a true stab in the dark).
To me it looks like Anth really wants to be in this picture.
He would always use me as his test subject for flashes etc. Well this time he was my test subject, to figure out how the shutters went.
He sometimes says that he does things just so he will get it before me. Well not only did he get this before me, he also got it without eating crap, me on the other hand took it hard three times before getting it.
Anthony claimed "ninja" on this costume, I claimed lazy. He didn't even bring the sword, it was lying around the house.
In this photo I am spooning Mrs. Weibe's husband. But if you look really close you can see Anthony spending New Year's eve in the hospital with a broken back. He is so manly that he walked out of that place three days later.
This was shot on my very last morning in Winnipeg. Anthony no longer lived at The Mansion, but he came over bright and early to help pack, and then go for breakfast. That was a tough morning.
One week ago.
I was going to finnish this blog off with a list of reasons why I love Anthony, but it was getting cheesy and sounding borderline gay. So I stopped. However, he is a as good as they get.
Love Nathan

Not gonna lie... I'm a little choked up. Funny how memories can be beautiful, happy, and sad all at the same time.
Awww...that's really sweet! Love all the photos- can't really say I love the "hair-cutting" shot. I'm glad my little brother has such a great friend!!
A man, I'm so choked up. I can't believe it has been eight years, you are top shelf buddy. I miss you a lot, but know that we will always be apart of eachothers lives. I too miss my heterosexual life partner.
I just looked through, and was hit by those road trip pictures. That was a good time, what are we watching there? Could it be "The Stand"?
aw man, anthony is so awesome.
Are you talking about the road trip I was on? Most of my memory of that trip is the POD soundtrack you bought late at night on Granville. Every time I hear a song from that album I'm brought back to your old car and that trip. Oh, and the horses game... just to kill time. Oh well. Even if you're NOT talking about that trip, that's what I have to say.
No this is the first portage trip.
I don't know what you're talking about.

I know this if off topic but I'm looking into starting my own blog and was curious what all is required to get set up? I'm assuming having a blog
like yours would cost a pretty penny? I'm not very internet savvy so I'm not 100% certain. Any suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers
