30 july 1985

the first time i met jordan he was covered in blood, and ironically, he was in the same condition when i first met him after he 'left'...

he came into the world emulating caesar, and i took a bunch of pics to record the event. linda, much to the surprize of the operating room staff, only had a local and so was wide awake for the whole thing - ooohhh, i don't know how she did it! i don't think that i could have lay back while an inept pak 'doctor' whaled away with a scalpel at my belly, saying 'oops' every now and again, while chatting about my insides with the nurses...

jordan was scrunched up a bit and looking none too pleased with the new surroundings but didn't complain until the 'doctor' whacked him on the butt. a nurse wrapped him up in a soft blanket and started on the welcome-to-the-world drill that newborns must endue while all the potential problems are checked and clean-ups are performed. i watched over the pak while he incompetently stitched linda together, having him make corrections to both the sutures and sewing techniques he used on each layer as he closed. the head o.r. nurse, a stern british professional, kept repeating, 'he's right, doctor', and handing him the correct equipment ...

when the processing was finished, the nurse brought jordan back, now a quiet and dozing baby, and handed me the bundle. linda was somewhat in shock and/or exhausted but still took jordie for the first time and the next day we took him home ...

thus did Jordan Alexander Lucas Abdul-Aziz Selkirk enter this world ...

The First time I met Jordan was in Melon head's (as we called him then) backyard. He was intimidating. I remember he protruded a certain confidence and wore an aray of silver around his neck wrist and fingers. At first i thought he didn't like me (we later laughed endlessly at this)which made the the situation weird, he kinda just nodded at me and threw out his fist for "props". I nervessly tapped his fist. Then we all got down to "business". After that first session i knew that this was a solid guy. We hung out mostly through Malone until me Jordan, Walsh and Fordsie went to see Eminem, Dr.Dreand Snoop Dogg's "Up in smoke". After the concert the others knew they were going to Selkirk's too finish the night and call a premium sleeping spot. Jordan turned to me "You wanna come chill at my base tonight?" The rest is history..........

The first time I met Jordan...Wow, Probably not the most appropriate but here goes. It was Hightschool. Im sure it was the start of summer in 1999. I believe Jordan was in grade nine at the time and still a pudgey young man unlike how he grew to be. Anyways, Him and I think Walsh had come by B.S.S to see Andrew and to pick up some buds. This is where I came in, just happened to be in business at that time. This is how I met Jordan, but I had not seen him in a long time. Until I met J.P while starting work at Rona. He invited me to his buddies place to chill for a while. Unknowing to me, this was Jordans place. I couldn't believe it was him and how much he'd had changed. From that day until the envitable, he and I were great friends. Very little of me that he didn't actually know, or I just hadn't told him yet. And now you know the rest of the story.

The first time I met Jordan was in grade 10 in high school, he was the new kid at school, and I remember him hanging around Jeremy all the time, when I met him the first thing I noticed was his laugh after everything he said, it was like a nervous Jordan laugh. I’m sure some of you know what I’m talking about. The other thing I noticed was the way he wore his hat, and the confidence he had for a new kid. Not too long after that the basement came about, and it became the best place to see all of our friends.
