Get Your Grown Man On

For when you realize you can't live life like a manchild all the time - when you're 'growns' up and you're 'growns' up and you're 'growns' up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XTPxEwfNTJc

1. AK Autoworks

4403 Dawson St
Burnaby, BC V5C 4B8
(604) 688-6378

Category: Auto Repair

3/20/2010 First to Review

Best autobody shop that I've ever dealt with.

My poor car was rear-ended in a hit-and-run (the ICBC adjuster guessed that a SUV with a rear-mounted tire probably backed into my car) and I needed my rear bumper repainted and my trunk lid to be fixed…More »

Update - 9/27/2010

I'm not sure if my jaw nerves are wired differently than most people (or I'm just a pussy), but after multiple injections of novocaine - causing my face to go half-dead - I still felt the wonderful sensation of the grind on my tooth.

I often struggle with competing voices in my head - usually the logical, 'form-follows-function' and 'efficiency-above-all-else' voice side (a.k.a. 'Pragmatic Johnson') argues with the narcissistic, prima donna, chic 'style-over-substance' voice…More »

I guess it only makes sense to place the budget/used branch in the DTES. The highlight is the huge selection of used office furniture in the basement - condition ranging from 'like new' to 'some very heavy man wearing corduroy really loved this…More »

One of the shitty things about working from a home office is that it makes you realize how shitty your office furniture is: How shitty? SHITTY. The saddest part is that I actually spent more money on a bells & whistles 'gaming mouse' than on my…More »

I've worked in some morally-questionable industries/jobs in my lifetime - hell, my job now is just a few levels above tobacco company lawyer and below a street pimp. None gave me any trouble sleeping at night like when I worked part-time at a…More »

First things first - Dr. Toor is an awesome optometrist. Takes the time to explain what he's doing and by far the most comprehensive eye exam I've had. He did a retina exam, glaucoma test and had me do a visual field test.

You might think that's…More »

Okay - first off, it's called "Vancouver Pet Food, Supplies & Grooming Burnaby"... and their signage and receipts says "Van Pet"... in Burnaby Heights. A bit confusing - but they tell you exactly what you get.

It's an independently owned and operated…More »

I really really like TD. I have lots of associates in banking and they famously curse out TD for forcing other Canadian banks to open until 8PM and be open on Sundays. It's a customer-service business - get with the times.

And come on - the colour…More »

Recently updated lists from Johnson C.

East Van Eateries (79) East Van is the place to be when you want to get your grub on. Especially if you're into Asian cuisine - come venture east of Ontario Street.	Quest for Intercontinental Champion J-Curry (7) I don't profess to be a foodie at all (at least I don't think I'm a pretentious snob) - but I do know Japanese curry. Here's my quest for the perfect Japanese curry... on the wrong side of the Pacific. Notable exceptions: Hurry Curry & Curry House in LA - been over two years since I've been... and neither were remarkable.
A Compendium of Fine Establishments Serving Libations (90) a.k.a. 'Johnson's Drinkhole List' - where livers and paychecks go to die... a drinking inspiration song for you all: http://www.youtube.com...	East Van Life (37) Random drinkholes, coffee shops and businesses in East Vancouver. Basically anything east of Ontario Street that didn't fit in my list of East Van Eateries.
"You're the best! Around!" (46) "Nothing's gonna ever keep you down!" Requisite listening while reading this: http://www.youtube.com... - a.k.a. "Johnson's Favourite Things"... there will be no giveaways.	Yum Cha (13) Let's face it: "dim sum" is overplayed -- let's call it what real Cantonese people call it... and here's a rap song about "Yum Cha" (and you can learn your dishes too): http://www.youtube.com...
Yelp Events (19) I write for free booze. And I booze so I can write.	Nam-couver (18) Some Vietnamese spots in Vancouver
Un garçon de Vancouver à Montréal (22) Some highlights from my week-long bender in Montreal.	Sneakerhunting in NYC (18) "[Sneaker hunting] requires research, travel time, daring, money, know-how, street smarts - you know all these things wrapped into one..." - Bobbito Garcia // My starter list of various shoe and streetwear boutiques in Manhattan - if you're quick enough, you can cover all these stores in one day (I did). Not an exhaustive list - but some of the most memorable. And yes - there are tons more shops but you'll have to discover them on your own. Happy hunting.
