The whole Tumblr thing

Allo ladies and gents,

Just a short post, do you ever have one of those times where you wish you could say something to someone, but don't know how to phrase it? Well, I have those all the time.

The thing I love about Tumblr is that you get to re-blog and re-blog, like re-tweeting. But with pictures (picture books! elementary school! yay!) that show up instead of a link and you don't have a limit of being confined by Twitter's 140 characters.

I usually re-blog posts on Tumblr because I find many many photos and passages that connect with me on every level. It's basically like a collection of photos or quotes that make me smile. To me, Tumblr is like an art gallery, you admire the work that is out there and take note of the ones that stand out.

Tumblr is my way of finding words, when I am a lost for words.

Things to read

I love reading comics, I am a big comic reader nerd. There are a few sites I would like to share with you that are pretty cute and hilarious.

One of my favourites is of course, MoonSticks.org. I may have mentioned this site more than once on my blog but I love the cute Sailor Moon cartoons so much! I just wish the artist would update some more.

Next is SavageChickens.com this type of drawing is more quick and simple. It's drawn on Post-it notes.

Thirdly, we have Pon and Zi, cute little characters drawn by Jeff Thomas.

Anyhow take a look at the comics and happy browsing!

School Project Pack Rat

Hello folks,

Assignment cover page

I was going through the boxes in my basement (again) and I stumbled upon many junior high through high school projects, school notes, drawings, doodles etc. But the one thing that stood out to me most was this memorial assignment we had to do in Grade 9 Language Arts class (2005). I don't recall what exactly the purpose of this assignment was but as the name suggests: A memorial.

The assignment required us to write from the heart and script a memorial as well as design a monument to place on top of Kimberly Hill.

Okay, so I go through my collections of school projects once every year just to see what I can throw out. But every time I go through it, I discover a little something about myself that I have forgotten. When I found my memorial assignment, a big flash of memories came rushing back to me.

My memorial

Start memory: During my last year of high school (2009) I went through a lot of decisions about which post-secondary institution I wanted to attend and which programs to take. For some odd reason, I never remembered what I wanted to do because I had influences *cough cough* (my parents) who told me to do something in the medical field. I struggled with my decisions. But I applied at the University of Winnipeg.

But when high school ended, I decided to basement clean and digging through my school projects...  picked up my memorial assignment. Upon discovering this assignment and reading what I wrote about myself when I was 14, I realized what I was applying for at the U of W wasn't what I wanted to do,but rather, what my parents would like me to do. So I didn't go ahead with it. I wanted to do what I wanted to do in Grade 9, which of course, reverted back to the creative arts and entertainment.

End memory.

So it was this memorial assignment that kept me on track of what I wanted to do. It kept me from getting influenced by other people. In a way, this memorial assignment is like letter from a younger and purer me to the current me. This assignment just keeps on reminding me to do what I wanted. Maybe I'm just weird that I can't keep my decisions grounded but when you have people like your parents who are hard to please, its often difficult to keep a clear head.

When I win the lottery

If I were to win the lottery, the first thing I would do is: buy this, this this and this.  No wait, I lied. I would put half in savings and the rest I will treat my lovely family members and friends to gifts.

$ 80,000

Anyhow, if I could be the one in however-many-gazillion chance to win Friday's jackpot Lotto Max of 50 million.

I would get a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro. 

This vehicle is a beauty. My friend showed this pictures of this car to me and I fell in love with it. Too bad I don't have the money to get it though (maybe once I'm out of school and financially stable). But depending on the model and the quality, this vehicle can range in prices from $20,000 to $80,000. There was three Kijiji ads in Winnipeg the last time I checked.

Hmm, maybe I should start a Camaro fund.
