Considering I've just launched my official Affliction Films channel on youtube, the video of the week is going to be one of my own. It's not a tripped out video or anything substantial just a fun edit. The edit features some of our local talents just having fun.
If you love me....whore the video out and subscribe to the channel.

Alex Goot - Undiscovered Music Talent of the Week
Alex Goot, What is there not to say about this kid? He's a multiple threat musician with the vocals and instrumentals to boot. He isn't exactly and unknown, He's gartered a slice of youtube fame; truthfully he should be belting it out with a record label behind him. In this video he shows all his talented outlets while he covers Lady Gaga's bad romance. It's refreshing to see a young guy out there being himself. He's No Bieber!
Katy Perry now Lady Gaga...sorta been a Diva trend lately. That is beside the point. This kids got some raw amazing talent and'll definitely be seeing bigger things in his Future.
Take a read and a listen, let me know what you think.
If you really enjoy his stuff...drop him a subscription on youtube.

Morgan's 2010 Reel Video of the week
My Australian buddy Morgan is back for more with his complete reel of footage from 2010. He's no stranger, when it comes to videos like these on my blog. His incredible strength and dedication to his sport inspires me to work harder, train harder in all that do.
What really grabs me about this particular reel is it's underlying and driving force. Many samplers feature over played music that doesn't stir somebody on the inside; This does. It's about the evolution and journey of rediscovery for why he tricks. The filming is amazing, the athleticism is raw and genuine. Morgan is being himself and tricking for himself. Take a peak and let me know what you think.

Music Video of the Week January 13/2011
Boyce Avenue and David Choi collaborated on this cover of Katy Parry's Firework. I've been an Avid listener of Boyce Avenue for quite sometime and they've never failed to impress me with their renditions of popular songs and their own originals. I've never much followed David Choi despite my knowledge of his talent. This piece was outstanding! I enjoy Katy's version but this just had something the original artists lacked. It leaves you feeling empowered to shine.
Take a listen!

It's 20 bloody 11
With 2011 comes a new name in editing for me. Affliction Films, It's solid and bold. This is what I was public perception to be of my editing. Not wishy washy holding hands in the backseat, I want the make out session in the muscle car. Did I really just draw that kind of comparison? oh well. I will also be running a separate blog for Affliction Films. This one is far to ADHD for something so viewer specific.
2011 started on a high for me, after a three year bitch with one of my original editing catalysts Mr.C. Brewster, we buried the hatchet. I don't know if I'll be working much if any with his new footage. The important thing is I restored one of my oldest long distance friendships. Since the start of the year I've slowly started shaving off the fat I've put on since September. I might just be a lean mean machine yet.
I hope to do a few things with this blog this year. For starters I'm going to bring back the Music Video of the Week, Video of the Week. Start a new Undiscovered Music Talent of the Week, Film of the Week. Since many of you love your eye candy I will include the Hottie(s) of the week. I did say hotties 2 guys and 2 girls because we are all about equality. I would like to include a photograph of the week( Taken by Me) and for those willing a view submitted photograph. It could be scenery, animals...a non-nude portrait whatever. I'd like to reach a broader grand of readers this year as well.
Let me know what you guys think.

A year in Review ( I stole the idea from Steve Cruz)
So I got this awesome little idea from Steve Cruz. Yes I stalk Steve on Twitter!...He returns the favour. I'm not going to hype up this blog. I'm pretty sure I can count the number of my blog readers and have fingers to spare. If your secretly reading....please, do step out of the closet ( No Pun Intended) I won't bite....unless your beef, medium rare and dressed in BBQ.
Highs
1. Started going to college - The few long time readers I've seem to keep since the start are well aware of my two year academic hiatus. This past September I enrolled in a General Arts & Science Program and I've loved it.
2. Figured out the public transit system- College graciously provided an unrestricted transit pass to full-time students. Being the cheap....I mean frugal individual that I tend to be in a lot of areas I've been abusing. ( Are transit system could rival major cities!) I was shocked.
3. Saved $914 in past three months- It's all the transit pass
4. Taught my first workshop on video editing - I took a condensed history course this semester and the final project involved a video production. A large number of the class didn't really no what to do. I volunteered to help a few and ended up teaching a full class. I've never had to teach something that wasn't athletic and I'm glad to say I survived.
5. Passed most of courses with 80s or higher - This one is huge for me! I've always been a weaker student in core subjects. I got my grades on Dec 23 and I was dumbfounded by the results. Normally I'd get minimum grades in core subjects.
6. Uploaded over 100 videos and Broke 100 Subscribers on YouTube - When I started uploading few videos as a means of storage and to show some family members. I never expected to be loading my 100th video four years later or to see 100 dedicated viewers. It's so unreal and I'm hoping I can deliver some more videos on the Brickers channel and start delivering a new style of videos on my new channel due out for 2010.
7. Twitter - Don't even call me a tweet whore I only have 5,000 tweets. I also fought tooth and nail not to join twitter and like a black hole it pulled me in. It's afforded me the ability to interact with people I probably never would have. Heck I ended up with some followers I never would of expected to follow me. I mean hell I'm just plain old Hutch. Talked video games with Dillon Buck. The Brangelina of porn Steve Cruz and Bruno Bond follow me; Steve even shared about his christmas gifts with me, Manage to make Samuel Colt laugh a few times. Even poked a bit of fun at his boyfriend, Chris is a good sport! All these guys are gay porn royalty and it's humbling that they'd even look at one of my tweets let alone interact. Jeff from Str8cam lube has a lube thats taking over the damn world while we banter about stupid stuff or discuss his addiction to the weight room and Nintendo Wii. Can't forget Rock, one a few people who can go pound for pound with me when it comes to making seemingly innocent tweets seem lewd. I'm also planning on having him take my anatomy tests in year two. I've gained a few friends over the past 7 or 8 months I've had twitter some of them are even mentioned in this blog in round about ways.
8. Hawaii Five- 0 - I grew up watching the original and the new one is just as amazing in it's own right. Plus the cast is utterly hot. Can't even say there is an ugly actor or actress on that show.
LOWs
1. STD - This vindictive chick at the college spread around a rumour that I had herpes, Aids and slept around. Because of her status in the social ladder a lot of people believed her. It really sucked.
2. Figured out the catalyst for the STD rumour - After about a month of hazing, I started to track down the ignition source. When I caught up to her....instead of yelling all I wanted to know was why. She saw me sporting the Red Ribbon on World Aids Day. Because of that one little Ribbon, she chucked it up to me promiscuous with men. Because you know all gay guys have AIDS. That one royally pissed off not because I was pegged as being gay but the fact she'd do that to a gay person. What if I had been legitimately gay? What if I'd actually been an AIDs? Now that would of really hurt emotionally and been well damaging.
3. Got a 51 in Photography - Wasn't to cool with this grade, simply because I know I'm not a half ass photographer.
4. A blogger tried force me out of the metaphorical closet. Indirectly calling me gay while full on attacking my character. Simply because I didn't fit there cut ideals of how a gay or straight guy should be. As much as I'd said about that and not caring about it over my blog. In a lot of ways I couldn't give a damn about that being said or posed. It was the person who did it. Now I'd heard a lot of shit about this blogger from a few other bloggers but turned a deaf ear and blind eye to it and thought to make my own judgement on them. They ended up burning me over conjecture instead of doing the adult thing and asking me. The thing is it hurt because I considered them a friend on some level. Since they had a blog with some pull with a lot of my readers. I ended up loosing a good portion of readers.
I'm a silver lining kind of guy so at least I got to realize who my loyal readers were and for that much I'm thankful.
5. Wisdom Teeth - I was a terrible teether as a child and that seemed to have stuck. I have the room for the teeth it's just their taking their own sweet time to grow in and decided to do a bit of growing here and there. Sometimes tylenol and aspirin do nothing for the pain. I've been side lined a few times from hockey because of them. Definitely sucks.
That is basically all there is to my 2010 year. I can't wait to see what 2011 holds for me and for you if you wanna blog it.
Because I got the idea form Steve....Go check his blog...he's nicer to look at.

I finally got my tech set up in my room. Yes I'm aware of how Geeky I truely am

And a little eye candy for my gay buds
Since I had such a hard topic before, that I wrote out of pure frustration from the amount of hate mail and verbal beat downs over the issue. I just thought I'd be nice to the large amount of my gay guy readers " Most of them : () )" and the few women who read my blog. I'm secure enough to admit there are some guys who are flat out great looking and I'll say there attractive and mean. Though they don't do much for me even though I'll flirt with a gay guy and he'll no it's in good fun.
Lately I've been turned on to the new Hawaii Five- 0 on CBS( States), Global( Canada). Yes I grew up watching the original on VHS tapes and retro TV stations. Awesome Show. A lot of people who know me personally and watch the new series say I remind them of Steve McGerret personality wise on the show. Steve is played by Alex O'loughlin an austrailian actor and yes I'm jealous of his body.
He's got that lean set of muscle but still a little bit of fat. Makes the guy look like he takes care of himself but still knows what a hamburger is.

Scott Caan also plays Danny " Dan-O" Williams in the new series. Being only 5'5 myself it's nice to know I can add a bit more bulk and not look totally alien or weird. He's also one of my favourite actors.
Being a huge fan of Hockey, I gotta admit folks Hockey is like the hidden fountain of looks. We often get passed by because we are hidden under gear and our faces are always sweaty or bruised from the games but we clean up nice. Just take a look at a model shoot/ photo of these four NY Rangers Players.
