I woke up with a headache today. But I brought that upon myself. So I can't complain. But the day didn't get much better.
I went to the home & garden show today because I heard there were some great photo opportunities there with all the flowers. I though hey, that could be great! Low Depth of Field shots of flowers could add to my portfolio!
So we're off. Just as we're leaving I find out the Canada vs USA game was on at 1:15!? What the hell. Who decided to put a hockey game in the middle of the afternoon? I was really dragged about this. I wanted to watch it more than anything. I was hoping it would be later in the afternoon however...
So, I missed the game for some photos. Photography is more important to me than watching the game, so it's alright. Too bad there wasn't a single photo taken at that damn place. Where were the flowers? Who the hell knows...All I know is I wasted all that time for nothing when I could have been patriotically cheering on my home country. Wow.
I still got home in time to watch the over time. But it wasn't the same. At least we won, eh?
Way to go Canada. I'm proud to be Canadian. Take that USA. Hahaha.
We invented the game, we perfected the game, and we WON the game!! Woohoo!!
I think that was the best part of the day. I'm SO stressed right now.
Let's list some of the shit off....
Firstly, I have a whole entire career portfolio due Wednesday. (This includes a cover letter, resume, references etc.) I finished that just now, and am pretty impressed but not sure if I put enough in it. Then, on top of this, I have to a job shadow to do by the end of the month with somebody I've never met. I'm extremely excited about this, the only problem is Facebook is being a pain in the ass and half of the messages I am sending or receiving from her are not even being sent or received. Way to go Facebook. Fix it. Hopefully I can arrange a job shadow soon with her, I really want to do one of the family or children photo shoots with her! I have a month for this though, so it's not too bad. Remember way back when I said I would be hating English? Oh I am. We have to MAKE a scene, write the script, memorize it, and then present it TUESDAY! We only have Monday in class to work on this. This is bullshit. THEN, right after we do our "performances" of this random made up scene, we have to jump into some stupid book called "The Princess Bride." I just know it's going to be stupid from the title. And right after that book, we will probably have some stupid performances again. Then shake spear. Wonderful.
I just want all of it to go away. I hate performing, I would have chosen Drama instead of English if I wanted to perform. But I don't, and I didn't chose that. So why the hell am I doing skits and shit in front of an audiences in a class that I am supposed to be learning the Art of English and Language? Who knows. The teacher's an ass.
On a positive note. I'm REALLY happy that it's March tomorrow. That means one month closer to summer, and the closer I am to summer the closer I am to being free of this stress and acting shit....
Here's the website of the ever so talented Heather whom I am going to be job shadowing sometime! :) Really excited! Just hope we can make a plan soon! I hate having no plan. I always need a plan. People with plans are more successful than people without one. And I want success. I don't want to act in my English class.

Mid week, Mid month.
I'm bored right now. There's really nothing going on now.
I'm happy it's Tuesday, which means the week is almost half over. I'm happy because it's just beginning for me, as I was away for the weekend with a friend and his family in a hotel in Kananaskis. We went snowboarding, went in the outdoor hot tub, and had some good food. It was a lot of fun! Snowboarding was fun, I've only been a few times, but I love it, and can do the green runs with my eyes closed and probably the silver runs easily too.
I'm thinking of buying a lift pass for next season, and then getting the gear later on at the end of 2010. (It's around $600-$700 for the Board, Bindings & Boots! But they are top of the line, which is what I want.) I love snowboarding, flying down the snow!
I'm back now though, and have work tonight. It wont be that bad though. I cannot believe it is already February 16th. Like, really, holy crap. I like it. I want this snow to be gone, I want to be able to ride the dirt trails of Nosehill again, I want to enjoy iced tea in hot summer weather, and don't even get me started on my bro Braden & the possible NYC trip this summer. I've never really saved money before, but for once, I am. Haha!
Here's a picture of the ski hill. I've been to this hill once before, and it's probably my favorite. It's in the middle of the mountain, and if you are skilled enough to ride the double black diamond slopes, you can take the lift up above the clouds some days.

Inspiration
I haven't posted in a while. I've been really busy with the new semester starting.
But now it's all good. I'm settled in, have all the classes I want. I was very successful with my last semester, and an optimistic for the new one! I have a feeling it's going to FLY by, which is good! I want summer, warmth, ice tea, friends, and sleeping in!
I have been lacking in my photography side, I swear it's the weather, it's harder to get out, and to find inspiration! Oh well, I will keep at it!
Here's some inspiration for the week:
Nikon Girl music video. (Braden, I want you to film and direct a video like this for me someday! Lol!!)

Times Goes By...
Times flies by. Like, it gets said a million times. It really does.
I never understood when people would talk about how fast the year went.
I think time grows with age. The older you are, the faster time goes!
I don't think it's something to complain about, I like time going fast!
On the 15th day, of every month, A big man somewhere in the world that I work for signs his name on my pay check. It then becomes my property sometime between 11:59PM and 12:01AM.
It's those 3 small minutes, that most of the time I am asleep for, I wait for.
I wait for a lot of things really, but pay checks are one of them. It comes with more than just money, it comes with freedoms, but also responsibility. It can bring hate, or it can bring happiness. (I tend to lean more on that happy side for the most part, I mean, money buys good things like xbox, which makes me happy. Lol!)
I wait for those 3 minutes of each month, and in doing so, I forget other stuff. This could be bad, but I am a photographer, I tend to actually notice the little things while time flies by, because by waiting for those 3 minutes, time flies by. Before I know it, it's the 15th again. Before I know it, it's the 15th of spring. Then the 15th of summer, then fall, the winter. And before I know it, the year is over. Now I understand how people can say "Wow. That year went by fast!" It really did.
I think it's a good thing. More stuff gets done, more gets achieved, and when that 15th day of the summer happens, it's one of the best days of the year. Nothing to worry about, the sun is shining, there's a cool breeze in the +27C weather outside, and the birds are chirping. It's fantastic how time flies.
===============================================================
I think of stuff at the most random of times. I was sitting here, catching up on peoples Flickr streams, (I still have like 20 tabs open of different photos by some of my favorite contacts!) and I though wow, In some places, it's spring already?! (After seeing some nice Spring photos) It reminded me of time, years, minutes, days, life. Thus bringing upon a spark in my mind, for a blog post!
I keep my phone with me almost all the time. Even while I sleep. (Not just cause of the late night texts...cause other cannot sleep, hah, you know who you are. Lol. It's not a problem.) But also, sometimes, you dream of things that you want to remember. Now, I've never had this experience before, but I've heard from countless photographers about how they keep a notebook beside their bed, a voice recorder, or in my case, a cellphone with a notepad application. You never know when you will think up something great, and you will want to keep note of it for future reference, because if not, time will fly past, and with it, that inspiration.
Also hit 16,xxx Views a few days ago on Flickr. And a total of 43,xxx views! Pretty exciting! :)
This photo is my 5th photo to hit Explore. (Meaning it's one of the top 500 most interesting photos uploaded on that day, out of the million uploaded!)

Thank God It's Friday
It's Friday!! :) Yay.
I'm done both my exams! Hooray!
Now I have no school until February 1st, however I am going in Monday to talk to somebody about getting into another Math class, then Tuesday to pick up my next semester books.
Hopefully going to go skating next week too!
The week went well. It was long though, pretty boring, for once I'm actually looking forward to going back to school to start a fresh new semester. Not much really new or exciting happening.
February is almost over, that's good! I want the warm summer to come quicker!
Update:
Hahaha. Oh my, tonight was one of the funniest nights on Skype. (Apart from the times with Papa & the grapes LMAO!!)
Me & Braden were playing some game, and got banned for doing something that was not "fair" (We died in the game, and instead of playing it out, we just reset the character so we were back) So some head leader smart ass comes out of no where and says Braden is banned for 3 days. Haha, So, what do I have to lose? Not like I would have much fun in there for 3 days either. So of course I had my bro's back. And stuck up for him, haha.
Then got in trouble myself for offending this head leader. Hahaha.
So then basically she said we could write a 1000 word essay on "Fair game play" in order to get out of the ban. And there's no way in hell we were going to do that, what a waste of time haha.
So we copy and pasted some HUGE essay (over 2000 words) from a quick Google search and sent that to her in like 10 minutes time. Hahaha.
Then we read the essay and realized it was about the meaning of life, and mentioned everything from Sheep, Religion, Countries, Weather...Haha.
We started laughing.
