Lesson Learned

Alright, we all have to buy somewhat embarrassing items from time to time, but today I learned my lesson. Do NOT say, "Man, I really hope I don't see anyone else I know" to the friend you're with because guess what, you just jinxed yourself.

Do yourself a favour, stop this from happening by staying quiet, discretely paying and walking away with your dignity intact. Otherwise, you'll be leaning over the counter to hide whatever it is as the cashier raises her over plucked brow at you.

Dorkiness 101

As most people know, I'm kind of a huge dork. Today I realised something that sets my dorkiness in stone...

The main reason I like going out to bars or clubs is because I get to listen to Justin Timberlake when I get ready. Okay, not just listen to - I mean full out singing into my makeup brushes and dancing around in pantyhose. (If I was around in the 80s I would have been in all the movies).

All I know for sure is everyone should stop trying to be so cool and unleash their inner fool, err, dork.

JT baby, I'm coming for you. ;)

I'm Back - ish.

Sometimes I act like a negligent parent and um, neglect my blog (clearly).

New goal is to stay on top of it and write AT LEAST once a week - once school simmers down a bit.

Bye Kiddies! x

Ladies, do what you need to do.

Ladies, we're all generally concerned about our health and and well being, right? Then how come so many of us keep putting off those appointments we really need to make and commit to?

Recently, a friend was telling me about a speech he was making in regards to men's health. It got me thinking about how important checkups, physicals, and shots are. So ladies, go and get tested in every way possible - make sure you're as healthy as you can be.

I can't stress the importance of finding a doctor who you are comfortable with. Just recently I was talking to someone about how her doctor shoots her glances every time she asks for a the pill. This irks me. Find a doctor who can put their judgments aside, and who will really care for your well being.

I've been lucky enough to find a GP I can talk to about everything with. She's caring, understanding, and wants what's best for her patients. I can visit her with all of my questions or concerns and she doesn't look at me funny; she just wants to help.

So please, please, please take care of your bodies, ladies. We take so much time caring for our outside appearance, but if there's a problem inside it can turn your life upside down.

Youtube and Success Class

Do you know why I love my Philosophy of Success class? Because I can use my favourite Youtube videos in my assignments.




"I'll tell you the worst of me, and try to give you the best of me, because you don't deserve any less."

Reflections of a Skyline is a painfully honest short film about love. Watch it and try not to tear up.

Paper Route/JT Daly

Some of you might know Paper Route is one of my favourite bands. Check them out (good bus music). I found out about them when they were opening for Paramore - I was in awe the second they started playing. It stirs a lot of emotion and you can tell how passionate they are about their music.


JT Daly, one of the band's singers announced via Facebook discussion board that the other vocalist, Andy Smith is leaving the band, fortunately there is no bad blood. This got me Googling and I foundout JT is a wonderful artist. He lives, and breathes creativity (click here to see it). His pieces and ideas really shape the music the band produces.

I just find this so interesting because these images are almost exactly the things I've imagined or felt while listening to their music. Listeners can picture everything JT and the band wanted them to take from their music.


JT also announced the band is working on a new album - if this art is a reflection of what's to come, I can't wait!

Alabama, Arkansas

This makes me smile:

“Jade?”
“Alexander?”
“Do you remember that day you fell out of my window?”
“I sure do, you came jumping out after me.”
“Well, you fell on the concrete and nearly broke your ass and you were bleeding all over the place and I rushed you off to the hospital. Do you remember that?”
“Yes, I do.”
“Well, there’s something I never told you about that night.”
“What didn’t you tell me?”
“While you were sitting in the backseat smoking a cigarette you thought was going to be your last, I was falling deep, deeply in love with you and I never told you ‘til just now.”
“Now I know.”

If you haven't listened to Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeros' song Home, do it NOW.
