But, whatever… it’s fun and not really based on much so let’s have a little fun with it! I’m going to save you a ton of time and tell you who to vote for. You do it and then we can claim victory as the notable majority!

Deborah Goldblatt

Category: Media + Communications
Winner: Debra Goldblatt – @Debgee
Why: She’s the founder of Rock-it Promo. If you don’t know them, you’re likely not in the loop into the media + communications scene. She has tons of great clients and is definitely notable. Basically, in this over indulged category of about 20 options, she’s the one real standout.
Runner Up: Jamie Thompson, Founder of Adapt Media. Just doesn’t have the same pull as Debra does.
Vote For Debra!

Category: Community Impact
Winner:  Alyson Rowe – @AlysonRowe
Why:  She’s 100% dedicated to War Child. That’s enough as it is. Some of the others in the category are a little muddled and way to into themselves. She’s just doing the one thing really and not making a huge fan fare about it. Good for her. She deserves the win!
Runner Up: Dr. Teesha Morgan, works with KY Jelly and loves talking sex. As a fan of open discussion, points for her.
Vote for Alyson! 

Category: Lifestyle Services
Winner: Nadia Giosia – @BitchinKitchen
Why: Bitchin Kitchen is an awesome name for a cooking show. I’ve seen it and I find her a little bit annoying to be very honest, but she’s hot too so it’s a fair balance. The cooking is good mind you, as a big cooking fan myself I definitely can appreciate what she makes.
Runner Up:  Robert Sharp, co-founded a Gay/Lesbian travel company. It’s a good idea really.
Vote for Nadia!

Category: Law
Winner: Michelle Louise Simard
Why: Legal blah blah blah. Does some good pro bono work and donates cash. That’s decent. (My lawyer has advised me against saying anything else.)
Runner Up:  Jacinta N Kanakaratnam, supports Yonge St Mission, Brickworks, Sally Anne and more.
Vote for Michelle! 

Category: Culture Curators
Winner:  Anwar Mekhayech
Why: Director/Partner/Marketing at Design Agency. Was a co-host on Designer Guys, Arthouse and a few other things. Best of all, he supports the Sick Kids Hospital which is the main charity that I support. So that’s a good enough reason.
Runner Up: Adam Kirkman, he works with Toronto Fringe. That’s pretty cool.
Vote for Anwar!

Gail Ordogh

Category: Sports + Entertainment
Winner: Gail Ordogh – @gailgabrielle
Why: Well if you haven’t met Gail, you’re really missing out. If you do meet her, you’ll understand why she’s the only notable person on the damn nomination form. Everyone who’s met her, never forgets her, and not just because she’s hot. Sweetest woman ever. I’m not even including a Runner Up, because it wouldn’t be fair to them.
Vote for Gail!

Category: Entrepreneurs
Winner: Jeremy Gutsche – @JeremyGutsche
Why: I’ve had the priviedlge of working with Jeremy at Trend Hunter and know the great work they’re doing. Compared to a lot of other heavy content based sites, Jeremy is by far the most useful, interesting and fun. And with a much better office than the Runner Up below, that’s a good reason too.
Runner Up:  Brandon Koffler, FanXchange co-founder. I’ve never used the site, but I’ve heard about it. Unlike the other nominees.
Vote for Jeremy! 

Category: Future Builders
Winner:  Dallas Gislason – @DallasGislason
Why: Helps young people with a leadership curriculum and support consultancy. It sounds like it’s something really good and helpful to the future, and god… seems we’re really going to need some help in the future! So, yeah, encourage this guy by giving him some votes.
Runner Up:  Sunny Verma who owns TutorBright, and our idiot childrens need sum tutering way 2 much. lmfao.
Vote for Dallas!

Category: Finance
Winner:  No one. This is me throwing my support behind the #Occupy movement. You finance folks are into some shoddy games and you’re all on notice until the global economy is back on track!

Gillian Black

Category: Best Personal Brand
Winner:  Gillian Black – @TheRealGillianB
Why: Well… I’m not going to lie. I’m recommending voting for her because she’s ridiculously hot. She’s a health/wellness/yogabooty/workout etc woman, all notable things… and clearly it’s paying off! She needs to consult every woman ever. Just vote for her guys, girls… just do it. Go ahead.
Runner Up: Nat + Marie, sorry girls… I’m such a sucker for blondes. Go watch their show on Wednesday nights at natandmarie.com!
Vote for Gillian! (Bonus image if you voted for Gillian.)

Category: Architechture + Real Estate
Winner:  Matthew Slutsky – @iSlutsky
Why: Well, BuzzBuzzHome is a pretty cool idea. Seems a little notable so far. We’re not going to get into any specifics because basically it seems that both Matthew and our Runner Up, Cliff… are basically the same people in that their nomination forms are basically the same. And compared to the other options, they win.
Runner Up: Cliff Peskin, See above.
Vote for Matthew!

Val Stachurski

Category: Social Media
Winner:  Valerie Stachurski – @ValTorontoGal
Why: Let’s call a spade a spade, I have an investment in Val. Our web radio show is hopefully launching next week, and being able to make fun of her for winning a superfluous award which doesn’t mean anything but that she seems to be taking slightly seriously will make for great radio. Just do it!
Runner Up: Me! I’m not on it nor would I want to, but if she wins, I win and then you win. So we all win by her silly win.
Vote for Valerie!

Dave Coleman

Category: Internet Startup + Technology
Winner:  David Coleman – @DaveColeman
Why: No contest. The guy is involved in a very cool startup and from what I understand, keeps helping the company advance. That’s what this is all about right? Yeah it is. Also involved in some other cool projects, basically the guy knows Startups.
Runner Up:  Tera Dargavel is community manager with Kik. Smart girl, I know her a bit. Worth a backup vote.
Vote for David! 

PS. To Notable, the layout and inconsistencies isn’t congurent with the great quality you typically put out. The bitmappy pictures, the varying sized images, the spelling mistakes, the inconsistent number of nominated finalists (which leads me to believe you just accepted everyone – some have 5 finalists, others have almost 20,) all need to be remedied.

PSS. Where the hell are the god damned links guys?! No Twitter? No link to find their business? No Facebook? Come on Notable! If these folks are notable, give me a link to click on to learn more about them!

My birthday is coming up…. in 5 months, so this would be awesome. Honestly… very well designed and crafted. I actually might place an order for these. Not just because of my love of social media, but because they are genuinely cool. I’d like to have the original side by side… show how the times have changed (yet they remain the same…) Anyway, enjoy!

It’s probably safe to say I’m not the best Zach Bussey for everyone, but clearly everyone does need a Zach Bussey in their lives… so I decided to fulfill the people who simply don’t like me with their options! So, I’ve compiled you all a list – young, black, gay, likely criminal, social media, most attractive and other Zach Bussey’s for your enjoyment!

This is Zach Bussey.
He’s the one that spawned my whole frustrations.
He’s also probably the easiest to like considering he just wants to drink milk and become Mark Zuckerberg. He’s one of only three active Zach Bussey’s on Twitter.

This is Zach Bussey.
The other of the three active Zach Bussey’s on Twitter.
He’s best known for his awesome hashtags such as #independencehellyeah, #toesinthewaterassinthesand, #gottalovegrowingup  and the ever awesome #eatshit.

This is Zach Bussey.
He’s the only openly gay Zach Bussey I was able to confirm.  He also confirms what Busseys’ have always known… “I have an 11 inch penis because I am a Bussey.” I think he’s the one on the left? Kinda looks more Zach Busseyish.

This is Zach Bussey.
Of all the Zach Bussey’s just on this picture alone I’d say he’s a contender for most likely to fuck up the Zach Bussey name… though, the black Zach Bussey alludes to crime in his profile… so who knows.  He, like all Zach Bussey’s loves Sushi and even has a quote of “Jesus ate sushi. Therefore Jesus loves sushi. If you hate sushi then Jesus hates you.” Know who said that? Zach Bussey did.

This is Zach Bussey.
We don’t talk much about him… but we know he kills deers…

This is Zach Bussey.
Of all the Zach Bussey’s it’s likely he’s the most attractive. He has way too many Activities and Interests… But those deep V shirts more than make up for it. Has a lot of friends in highschool, but they’re probably 18 by now. Get em Bussey!

This is Zach Bussey.
Impressively enough is the Head of DPT at My Xbox 360… a rather impressive title for someone who attends college but “We really don’t want to know” where. He’s the youngest Zach Bussey I suspect, so prospective girls who want to one day have their own Zach Bussey, here’s your best bet at getting one when we’re impressionable.

This is Zach “Ziggy” Bussey.
Proof that Zach Bussey’s come in all colours. He also has the best nickname of all Zach Bussey’s. Someone start calling me Z-Bone so I can contend for this! He’s probably the most intimidating looking one with his awesome facial hair (Tip: Most Zach Bussey’s struggle at facial hair.)

This is (DJ) Zach Bussey.
You can call him DJ Zach Bussey cause he plays the piano, guitar and a couple others he doesn’t feel like typin. He also gotta sick ass beat maker on his PC and is trying to save to accually record some legit ass shit. He also has some seriously hot friends who appeared on the side and I checked out. One of the few benefits of having the same name I guess is that it makes that totally acceptable.

This is Zach Bussey.
He only has one friend on Facebook, so we’re assuming he’s a bit of a loner… it’s also an example of when Zach Bussey’s settle… Most of the time, we actually are too picky and as such remain single for the majority of our lives. Glad you found your ‘type’ Zach Bussey.

There you go! So now that we’ve covered all the Zach Bussey’s, you can pick whichever one you’re most interested in getting to know. (I’m the only one in Canada…  so for the meantime you guys are stuck with me.) But the US has plenty to choose from!

PS. Most times I’ve written Zach Bussey in one place… It’s actually way too much and it’s like when you say the same word a bunch of times and it loses all meaning… who am I? What is this?! (It’s the worst blog post ever is what it is haha.)

I just hope that me rapping Chris Brown feat Busta Rhymes “Look At Me Now” is was reason enough to have me around. (Warning: I’m pretty sure someone filmed it… this isn’t going to end well… *may* link the actual video later.)

I don’t typically like to write a lot of blogs talking about what I did during a week, because in most cases it’s hard to translate the event into something that you’re actually going to be interested in reading. But, for whatever reason I’m feeling compelled to blog… so suffer through or leave now!

Having attended the launch of Thornbury Apple Cider by The Beer Barons, (Very much like a better version of Strongbow… or Apple Champagne if that exists? Maybe not my first choice in alcoholic beverage, but I can definitely see myself having one on a warm day) put together with help of the beautiful and always fun @JordanaStein was the first event of the week. There I met the @MediumMag crew (@_chenessa + @brigidtowler)… If you have an iPad, download their interactive magazine! While it’s definitely a girly magazine, the interactive elements are pretty cool. Oh and it’s free!

Then there was the pre-published book release party for @LindseyKelk‘s new book ‘The Single Girl’s To-Do List‘ (Preorder now for July 31st). I’ve actually started reading the book and it’s so far pretty interesting! First couple chapters I’ve read about a girl who likes getting her ass bitten, girl porn, the lead character really wanting to get some dick and more. Once I finish reading it, I’ll post a full review! Because the book is marketed and written for women, I was almost the only guy in the room which is a fantastic position for a guy to be in. Most of them know me pretty well though, so they know better than to get involved with me… next time I’ll have to help them down that champagne a little quicker! In the meantime I think I should try to get with the author…

She does admit in that first line she’s open to a hook up doesn’t she? Lindsey, let’s get together and see what happens! Your British accent is kinda hot.. let’s see if we can make it hotter? ;) (Girls like overt displays of manly energy right? I should probably finish her book before I try to pick her up…) Oh, and Lindsey was kind enough to sign another copy to give away! But I’ll give that away later once I post the full review.

Lastly, the other night was the @Sassygirlcanada‘s birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY AGAIN!) that started at Oliver and Bonacini (not a fan, they forgot my starter, my burger was dry and boring and the place was freezing) and ended at C Lounge, which was a great time… especially happy to have met and gotten to know @LisaMcPhee and @EstherKatzman.

The people I spent time with this week made these experiences… so if you’re on Twitter, make sure you follow these people. If you are lucky enough to spend some time with them, you’ll be glad you did!
