HI! Thanks for dropping by. I'm Shawno the GAYCANUCK and this is my little home on the web.
I have had this website for 7 years and it has gone thru many changes over that time. At one point, when I became ill and all seemed lost, it was the only thing that kept me sane and motivated. I also have a popular blog called www.theINFAMOUS.ca. aptly named for me by a fine young writer from XTRA WEST.
This site and my blog are about my life here in VANCOUVER, CANADA. I am always taking pics and videos of my beautiful city and all of my friends. It's never dull here...and it rains a lot too. I also have a page at www.myspace.com/gaycanuck
where I post my videos. Tho this site can be racy at times, there is some nudity but nothing pornographic. Check back often for local weather, lottery results, gay news, links, horoscopes + my new pics and blogs. Thanks again for visiting.
Hey gang... Been off line all week cause my bro HUGO DUMPED A GLASS OF RED WINE ALL OVER MY LAPTOP...
but the good news is: IT's ALIVE again!
So I will be back on my blog this weekend...

NOW WITH SCROLLING NEWS!!!
Today was the ANTI-GAYBASHING RALLY. Hugo a Go-Go & I got to Nelson Park just as the march was about to start. There was a huge crowd... we started down Thurlow Street towards Davie. I saw Insabear there with a gagle of ther bears. It was sort of uncorfortable, but not really that bad. We spoke breifly and then he excused himself without incident. I was impressed with that. I wasn't sure what he might do when we finally saw each other again. He has acosted Hugo a few times at the Pumpjack asking him why I don't call him anymore, or even go to PJ's. It's not because of Insabear I don't go often. Gay bars have NEVER been my gig. I always see the same kinds of dudes hanging out there. I am hoping that today is a new beginning [or at least a tollerable one] with Insa. I'm stilled pissed at him, but I think my distane has subsided somewhat due to being loved and respected so unconditionall by Hugo...and Marc... and Brentage. And realizing I deserve to be. I just don't want to have people in my life that treat me badly, talk down about me and don't appreciate me. The guys in my life NOW show me everyday how much they care for me. It is a first. After dumping my loser-family, I realized I could no longer be anyones whipping-boy. I wasn't put on this planet to a be target for misplaced anger. I just want to be loved unconditionally. That's all. It's simple really. I think this rally is my collective way of saying to anyone out there that thinks they can get away with abusing others, gay or straight, FUCK RIGHT OFF... YOU DON'T HAVE THAT RIGHT... AND YOU NEVER WILL. I was very moved today by all the people who come out and supported this. The young man who was bashed IN A GAY ESTABLISHMENT last week needs all the love and support of his community. I was glad to participate. I took a lot of pics & video. Here are the best of them.

The GAYCANUCK is off for a week on VACATION... Need a bit of a breather, so I am taking a week off to rest and re-coup... When I get back from my break I'll be looking to extend my little family here in Vancouver... I am gonna get a little doggie [like every old gay man does at my age lol] Someone to get me up and attem in the morning...
Hugo is VERY excited about that.
Marc too. I am going to a rescue shelter to find the perfect mate.
This is the first building I've ever lived in that allowed dogs, so I am going to take advantage of that. I'll fill you all in on the details when it ACTUALLY happens. Have a great week everyone S 
Beyond a shadow of a doubt, this is the most beautiful church I have ever seen in Canada. The first pic if of the door so that should tell you how lovely it is. The original church [seen below] is the first St Anne de Beaupre. As the church gained noteriety for healing and worship, it expanded to build the fantastic one I have photographed. They have a memorial to to the people who were healed as show by all the crutches wired to one of the inner posts. The murals were commisioned by a friend of Richards and he painted many of them before he died suddenly last year. Unfortunately he was unable to finish them all. I was just in awe.



HAPPY CANNIBUS DAY? Yep, that's where we went, to a 420 rally called 'CANABUS' DAY. The largest civil disobiedience gathering in Canada. There were hundreds of people waiting to hear Mark Emery speak before he is extradited to the US for trafficking pot SEEDS. What a fuckin' joke.
They really want to make an example of him and the Canadian gov't is playing right into their hands.
So at 4:20 pm everyone sparks up a joint and the air is literally blue with pot smoke.
Johnny and Hugo had a great time smokin' their brains out... ME? I was just there for support... The old GAYCANUCK gave up smokin' ANYTHING a while back. I don't care if others do, it's just not my gig anymore. I am enjoying my reality right now and don't need anything to medicate myself... LOL I've come a loooooooong way baby! After that we sat and had a picnic and listened to the music they were playing. Just a great afternoon. HAPPY CANADA/CANNIBUS DAY EVERYONE!
CHECK THIS OUT... This girl is from SURREY BC [which is just few suburbes away] The first time I saw it I laughed my ass off... now I can;t get the fuckin' song outta my head...
for breakfast before going to get Hugo's glasses perscription filled. He had a great set of orange frames already, so now he has to wait to get the lenses put in. They're really cool. After that we went shopping at the ARMY & NAVY to find something for Marc's birthday [tomorrow]
I founds some nice overalls for him as well as some candy. I remembered to take my camera this time. It's really hot today. 30C by days end...
I'm just dragging my ass.
