Well, have been slightly busy this summer, both on and off line. Meeting some new people.
This summer I got a job as a studio photographer. Which I found out I like to take pix and now get paid for it.
Then I was out walking around at the amazing trails this city has. But the heat and humidity stopped that :(
I have gotten out to the cinema this summer to see a few flicks. Saw Transformers 3. Loved it! Though didn't like a certain scene. (if you know me, you know which one) My only complaint was it in 3D? Coz I didn't notice it.
Saw Thor: better than expected.
Harry Potter 7: w0w! Great way to end the series. Love Ron Weasley and Snapes you the wizard.
Then Captain America: strange more I saw the trailers for this, the more I wish to see this. Strange coz I don't like Marvel and outside Bale's Bats don't like Superhero movies. Yet I did like this one and Evans was perfect as Steve Rogers. And as I stated afterwards can't go wrong with Nazis (I know off shot Nazis). Nazis are the best movie villians created by themselves.
I am trying to fins time to see Cowboys&Aliens. Heard good things about it.
I have been passing time watching Camelot, Falling Skies, Torchwood. And loved Game of Thrones.
I am now eagerly waiting for FanExpo (Canada's largest geek fest) to arrive at month's end. The only famous people I wish to met this year are Scout Dart and Jango from the 501st (I am such a geek). And other great friends from online :)
Also I have been making up some hats too and making some new designs.
But thinking that my high point I am really looking forward to is my one good online friend DBSW is on a road trip and is coming up here to Hoth to visit.
If you don't know him check him out on Twitter, his Tumbler, and on the podcast Boring Conversation Anyway (with the even more kandosii @flyguy)
Just like to thank everyone that has stopped by to read this. Hope you come back for a visit soon :)
And pleas leave a comment - even if it's a "Hai There!"

Day 4
Well It's Thursday. Spent the morning on homework. That's right it's not called reading week for nothing.
Then spent the afternoon at the school working on my InDesign assignment. Which I was surprised that I was able to get the one part done with out incident. And I think it looks good.
What was the best was to hang out with a couple of my classmates. The fun that we had was the best.
Now I sit here and work on my next projects having a good laugh with a good friend.
Thought of the Day: Take a step out side your comfy box, you may never know who you will met or the things you will do ;)

Day 3
Well it's Wednesday and this means anything can happen day!
And I can say anything did happen.
Had a fun group meeting. Which was nice to be back in the class and with some of the kewlest people around! Which is sad that we have only a few days left together :(
Then after I headed down to Picton to have coffee with the BFF. Which was very nice but sad. For she is off tomorrow on a grand adventure. She is moving out East, to Nova Scotia.
Now back home I sit down and wonder what I am going to do tomorrow ;-/
Thought of the Day: Always be open to possibilities and the wonders that they bring ;)

Day 2
Well it's day two of reading week. So it must be Tuesday. Which means it's V and sadly season final of my fave show Primeval. This also means that last night was Being Human. Now I must say I don't like remade shows. However I do like this show. Could be coz it's filmed here in Toronto. But my friends tell it's coz of Sam Witwer;)
If people haven't noticed today is the Justin Bieber's 17th Birthday. Can't see how you missed it. The screaming fan girls was my first clue.
The big thing about today is that it is the start of a new month. Can't believe that it's March already. Those that know me know I am so excited for this month! Will tell as they happen ;)
So my parting words today are: Always be open to new ideas , experiences, and people. For you never know what will come from them.

Day 1
Today is my first day of my reading week. And already some most interesting developments has come my way.
Last night was the Oscar's. Must say not too surprised with the winners. Very happy that Christian Bale won for Best Supporting Actor. Congrats Mr.Bale! Loved Melissa Leo's dress (gorgeous) and absolutely loved her acceptance speech. Did like Franco & Hathaway hosting. Most interesting. Good to see Natalie Portman winning too. Plus have to say loved the Star Wars references and tribute to Kersh.
This shows the power of Star Wars has become in culture. I leave you with the thought: look into your life and see the SW influences that surrounds you and binds us together.
Talk to you tomorrow!
Unless I am kidnapped by that cwazy guy with the shoe of a spaceship ;)

How can you get to know a Person in only 140 characters at a Time
Have you wondered that spending a certain amount of time on such SM sites that you end up chatting with a small handful of people.
Then over the course of time you start to become friends.
It's amazing how much you can learn about people in 140 characters.
some people would say 140 characters? How can you say anything?
140 characters forces you to be creative and direct.
This has been the question many have asked. But is this not the same as when you met someone in Real Life. On line is a much different playing field. For some it's easier to get to know, or to 'talk' with people.
The problem I have heard many of people tell me, People lie on the internet. My thought on this is that whenever you first met someone there is a bit of bolstering, In that the person embellishes themselves. However, overtime, like in RL, you begin to get to know the person. This only works if the other person is true to you, and beings to trust. Take people for what they give you.
I personally have had some interesting conversations on Twitter. I have been asked how? Really don't know. Just that I make a comment to someone, who comments back and before you know it an hour could have past.
Basically, you have to know the topic discussed fairly well to be able to condense into such a short space.
And you have to have a bit of fearlessness to make that initial comment. The more creative and on topic will get you noticed.
At the end of everything you meet some interesting people and share common interests.
Yet by an article I read recently, states that many of the friends we choose is determined by our DNA. So it's not chemistry but biology of how we choose our friends.
Outside this, I know I have chosen my friends by our mutual interests.
I have noticed that out of many people I have chatted with on-line there are a handful I have become to talk with everyday and would call them friends. And these are the people that make my day;)

Fun: What is it?
As children we play. In play we learn skills for our future. This is until we enter school. Slowly over the years from kindergarten to the final years of high school, the system teaches us to stop play and to work.
With the loss of play many people who are creative run into problems, and get labeled.
Now the past few weeks of our new term all we were learning was basically is play. Yes, Play!
We learned that play gives us new/different way to look at our professional problems/projects.
School need to bring back play to all grades. To teach play skills to use in problem solving, careers, and life. Creativity is the one thing that needs to be encourage within children.
For creativity is the root of all great ideas, whether coming from the arts or the sciences.
Most recently I have met some most incredibly talented people.
Where would we be without the Teslas, Einsteins or the daVincis or Renoirs, If we did not allow creativity;)

Hothy New Year
Well here we were, not only starting a new year but a new decade. Looking back over the past year much has changed. For the most part everything was very positive. (did have one hiccup. but that is in the past now)
I made the decision to go back to school. Which I have one term down another to go. The interesting courses of learning can not compare to the people I get to share the experience with, me fellow classmates.
This lead into the world of SM. The friends I made over the time has been the best of times. Those whom have become friends, and you know whom you are, Thank You for the ride called 2010!
So looking forward to the Road Trip that is 2011;)
With that new beginning I will hope to embark on a new direction and new adventures.
Hoping that you my friends will join me!
