Rejects from Major Farming Paper May 27, 2009

  The Manitoba flood of 2009 came and went, taking with it the prospects of a prosperous season    for the most productive agricultural region of the province.  Of course, the Manitoba Government did what they could to alleviate the flooding-sandbagging, assistance for displaced families, etc.  But one thing they tried that didn’t work out so well was to launch a press release on April 30th, declaring that overland flooding was “virtually done.”  As in, all the farmland is ready to rock out for another season (technically, I should say “ready to grow food.”  Farmland isn’t too good at rocking out due to the whole “not moveable” thing.)

That would have been great, except for one thing–the day that press release came out was the day I took these photos of what seemed like inland oceans near the village of Rosenort, MB.

Naturally, I sent them in to a major farming paper, thinking I was really on to something.  According to the fact that these pictures only appear here and on my flickr account, I’m not.  Apparently, there’s a reason why I didn’t go to J-school.

I’m in the newspaper! And it’s not for something bad! May 16, 2009

Paul Williamson of the Winnipeg Free Press’ “Willy’s Garage” wrote a great article on my book, “Class of 2009″ yesterday, just in time for the launch party today.  Check out the ego-expanding goodness HERE!  

And when you’re done reading that, come on down to the Pony Corral restaurant Downtown tonight for the book launch party.  I massacred over 30 Hot Wheels packages just to have something unique to give away tonight.  Let the nasty screams from collectors begin!

If you don’t know where the Pony Corral is (or which one to go to), here’s a map:

Hi Mom! January 9, 2009

Welcome to JordanMorningstar.com-the home for, umm, well, me.

This is the first post of my new “website,” which may or may not be temporary.  My web designer swears he has a Joomla site ready to rock soon, which is where this WordPress of Wonder site comes in.

Speaking of my WordPress prowess, feel free to check out my other sites:

SundayCruiseFever.com:  Hot Rods, History & More!

This site began as my commercial photography blog-weddings, etc.  Now, it’s an online magazine devoted to the phenomenon of Hot Rodding.  Every week I present great pictures of another car or truck, with the story of how that vehicle came into being.  Not only that, the site features free wallpapers every Friday, as well as adrenaline-pumping videos and gorgeous pin-ups every week.

Chocolate Bunnies Must Die.

This started out as my personal art site-basically, a way to show off my meagre attempts to be a pin-up artist.  That’s when evolution reared its head, leaving me with a great, big idea for something entertaining, hillarious, and possibly profitable.  Unfortunately, it also means buying more camera equipment, something I can’t really afford at the moment.  Until then, Stephen Harper jokes and ill-titled sketches for all!
