Leaving Soon

For 4 days!

Hello! I don’t have much time this morning because I’m leaving in about 2 hours to go camping with friends. This said my blog post might be a bit short, even though I’m incorporating two days in one post since I didn’t feel like doing so yesterday. Little reminder; I won’t be posting for 4 days, but I’ll try to resume everything when I get back.

I finally got the chance to finish editing all of my desired pictures from the photoshoot with my two friends and let’s just say that the pictures are amazing. I’m proud of myself since I put much time and effort to capture the perfect moment and it really shows. Now I won’t post all of the pictures on the blog and that’s why I’ll add them on DeviantArt as soon as possible. The thing is since my computer broke down I didn’t had the time to continue adding the pictures on DeviantArt, and my Internet is really slow. What I’m going to do is bring my USB when I leave for Seattle, and from there I’ll be able to upload everything and be up to date with the pictures from the laptop that is put to my disposition.

Let's make it happen

This post is going to be really short. Sorry if I repeat myself it’s just that I’m looking at the two first paragraphs and it’s depressing, because I don’t have much to talk about.

Never mind I just found something to talk about. During the photoshoot I discovered this mode on the camera that lets you take many continuous pictures while consistently pressing on the shutter. After 400 pictures or so I thought to myself that I could do a stop motion film with the pictures. Well that’s what I did during yesterday’s afternoon, and let me just tell you that it takes A LOT of time. Seriously, my film is not even 30 seconds and it took about 3 hours to do. It’s time consuming but in the end it catches the eye.

I forgot to mention in the older post how I now officially have the required money to buy my camera I’ve been wanting for a while. It’s a Canon EOS 50D, for those people out there who don’t know a thing about photography this camera isn’t any kind of camera. If I could best describe it I would tell you that it’s the most professional camera for amateurs. Coming in at a price of 1200$ it’s really a slap in the face…but in the end a good investment, well in my case. It’s because I grew tired of using lame old digital cameras. My first camera was this “point and shoot” style camera from Olympus. My parent’s bought it for me, as well as my Sony Camcorder, as part of my 8th grade graduation and birthday present. Anyways, it was up to par with what I needed since I was only taking pictures during vacation and stuff like that. Later on my father bought this Sony high-performance camera, yet not professional since it was to use around the house, and I kind of started using it without him knowing until now, where it’s the only camera I use. Now I look at the image quality of his camera, which is quite amazing and decent, and I just can’t wait to see how my pictures will turn out on my new camera. I’m excited and looking forward to my next photoshoots!

Anyways I better wrap this up before my friend comes knocking on my door while I’m in the middle of my writing process. I’ll keep you posted…when I come back. Take care, have fun!

The Forecast Is

Good news or bad news?

Good news, bad news, too many news and now I have to decide what to break first. Like they always say, save the best for last. So you guys remember how my computer broke down, and then my mom brought it to work where a guy inspected it. Well during that time I kept on saying that my computer was in rehab since he suddenly did a power overdose and wouldn’t respond. So, today I get an e-mail from my mom who is telling me that the computer is okay and that it should be good to bring home tonight. I was so happy, like I’ve been missing my computer SO much its unbelievable.

Thank You, Now Goodbye

Good ridence to the enemy and welcome old friend

Yes, I just started with good news when I said save best for last…and I keep my promise so you’ll see. Anyways, I was really impatient on getting the computer plugged back into the office that when I arrived home I rushed into the house and ignored everything else. Awkwardly I had this feeling that something was going to go wrong…and it did. I try to turn on the computer and it tells me that something is missing. I’m there, freaking out, not knowing what to do. So I call up my mom and she tells me not to touch anything and to do a search on handy Google. Turns out there was NOTHING on the Internet and I couldn’t imagine myself not having my computer for one more night. I might sound a bit obsessive, which is partially true, yet I’m human and I’m not fully dependant of technology. I have my days where I just wish I could throw my BlackBerry into the ocean and days where I wish they made hovering chairs that could bring you anywhere you want.

Where was I again? Right, the computer; so my parents could feel the tension building up inside me and they didn’t really want to spend another night with me laying around, doing nothing so my dad called one of my cousin’s friends who came over to inspect the computer. In the end turns out that the computer had a random floppy disk that the technician had left in the computer that prevented the computer from running, how stupid can we be?!

Now I’m thrilled that I have my computer back and that I can finally start my picture editing once and for all. I’ve been waiting quite a while to sit down and look at my pictures one by one, and I get the chance tonight.

Now I feel like going to bed, I had enough of my day. I just want to go to sleep that’s all. Take care everybody and drive safely…I have nothing else to say. And to you underage people, please, keep in mind that you must not drink and drive.

P.S.: Sorry for the song, I just got hooked on the beat even though it’s totally not my style of music. And turns out I’m not leaving tomorrow. There was a misunderstanding with my friend so now I’m leaving on Friday for Montreal. Here I come!

Accidents

They happen!

OUPS! I kind of completely forgot to post yesterday night…although posting yesterday night would have had been impossible since I came back home at 1 in the morning. I wasn’t walking in the streets, doing bad things and all, because clearly that’s not me. Quite on the contrary I was in the market in Ottawa, dinning at a restaurant with Em and her family. It’s funny how you lose track of time so quickly when you’re having fun. We got there at like 7 p.m. and next thing you know it’s almost midnight. It’s kind of scary when you think about it…anyways. To resume I can say that the day was simply wonderful, and that I wouldn’t trade that night for anything in the world.

May I mention how I dreamt that my family had won 2 million dollars yesterday night, and that it felt kind of realistic but at the same time as if was taken out of a movie plot. It went like this: we had this ticket and our numbers matched the winning numbers, so we’re automatically winners. Then we go collect our prize and we’re all happy until the house suddenly blows up and we lose everything, as if it was bound to happen. It’s relatively short when I’m the one explaining it but it was actually long and descriptive, although completely irrelevant.

Isn't working for you and I

I still don’t have my computer; the thing is now it’s not even at my house anymore. My dad took it to this guy that works at my mom’s office who’s this technician and he’s doing a series of tests on it to see if everything is working okay. I just hope I don’t lose all of my photography; it’s the only thing I’m asking.

Speaking of photography today was my photoshoot day! Yep, my very first portrait photoshoot, and it was amazing. I met up with my friend Caroline this morning…well actually she came to my house, and we all got prepared for the big day. Dumb like I am I decided to wear a pair of skinny jeans, a v-neck, a hoodie, and a pair of high-tops. Not exactly the summer outfit everybody has in mind but it’s what I like to wear. Obviously my clothing choice was a big mistake. Around noon my other friend Stephanie met up with Caro and I at Caro’s house where we started on choosing outfits and the locations where we were going to shoot. So the locations were an old barn, a pile of junk in a nearby field, and another nearby field. It doesn’t sound like much when I’m saying it like this but it was actually amazing. We had a good time, although the sun was SCORCHING hot and I was dying in my "not to summery clothing", to a point where in the end we finished by jumping into the pool to cool off. But there’s a price to pay for everything, right. Photography and modeling is a dirty business after all, right?

I better head to bed now…it’s getting kind of late. I’ll try to post pictures up soon; it’s really pissing me off that I can’t use my computer. Hopefully I’m leaving on Thursday for 4 days and when I’ll come back everything is going to be fixed. Goodbye!

It's So Complicated

Why oh why?

My life is so unpredictable! I don’t know how many times I’ll say it but clearly anything can happen and it’s pissing me off! Why am I saying this, well yesterday night I had a little incident with the office computer. The office computer is the computer that contains all of my blog posts as well as my photography in whole. When I tried to launch Internet the computer screwed up and I couldn’t do anything about it. I learned with time that if you can’t solve the problem just kill the switch, and that’s what I did. Well it was a bad idea because when I tried to restart the computer this blue screen popped up saying that Windows has locked down to prevent further damage to the computer, which is a good thing…but now I can’t seem to get rid of that screen. Every time I start the computer it gets stuck on that screen and I can’t do a thing, like the computer screwed up completely. That happened at 11, so I was tired and I didn’t feel like working on trying to solve the problem or whatever, so I basically bashed on the computer’s hard drive 3 times (I wish I had a Mac) and then I proceeded to go to bed.

Last Breath

Take the pain away

I just couldn’t sleep! I had this constant image in my head that all my files had disappeared and that all my photography was lost (I need to backup my stuff on a second computer) and it made me insanely uncomfortable. To add to that I dreamed that the computer started working once again…but it was a dream, obviously. Now I’m stuck on the computer in my bedroom, yes I have a computer in my room but I don’t use it, and I can’t upload any pictures. So I’m sorry you guys for the inconvenience, it’s not my fault and I seriously hope that the computer unlocks itself soon.

Today was my very last class. Well, I almost skipped…yes…I almost skipped. Well you know that resume I was talking about, I finished it yesterday night before the whole crash incident and figured that I could basically print it in the morning, but no can do anymore. How am I supposed to hand in a resume that is situated in a permanently locked down computer? Well that’s a question without an answer. I came up with an excuse and the guy told me that I had to give it in tomorrow, even though I had no more class. This is just great, class is finished once and for all and I need to get back to work on my resume once again from scratch.

Rainy Days

And the days without rain

Putting these inconveniences aside I had enough of my teacher today in class. I don’t know, I don’t really like the way he teaches and all…and maybe he doesn’t like how I don’t really participate in class, although I’m listening. He was explaining the 8 steps prior to starting the car and the 8 steps to start the car to the class, writing every single step on the board. I personally don’t take notes, I don’t find it efficient. But somehow when you’re in a Driver’s License class it’s important because you’ll need those notes later on…even though you can’t have them while driving. He comes up to me and this is how everything went down, but it’s not much…yet enough to piss me off:

Him: Cedric, you’re not taking any notes?
Me: No
Him: So you’re telling me you’ll remember all this?
Me: Yes
Him: Oh, so you know everything?
Me: Ehhh…sure…ya

He goes away, not looking very happy and heads to his desk where he pics up a folder and starts handing out sheets to the class. When he’s at my desk he looks at me with a serious face and says:

Him: I’m assuming you don’t need this sheet, right? You told me you knew everything
Me: (In my head: WHAT?!?! How could he?) Ya, I need the sheet.

Sometimes people can be so rude, and in the end we just need to cope with these people because there is nothing else we can do. Did I mention that he made me do my second resume on a line sheet of paper? It took so long to do, but now I’m done and I can go to sleep only having to worry about my photography on that locked out computer. Technology had a great impact on life and made it easier but there’s no doubt about it that it complicated it along the way.

One To Go

And then summer can get off pause

I’m almost done with my Driver’s License class! Three down and one to go, and I’m actually glad that I’m going to be getting up tomorrow to put and end to this mayhem. Not only is my class almost over but I concluded my resume a few minutes ago, and does it feel good. I’ll be able to sleep tight tonight, knowing that I have nothing else on my mind to worry about but those pleasant photoshoots I’m looking forward to.

Today’s class was actually the most entertaining class I ever had. I’m not saying that the class was fun; I’m stating that the “class”, as in the room, was quite entertaining. And how could that be so? Well turns out that during my 11 a.m. break I was texting my friend and Em, the usual, when all of a sudden this rather large spider comes “bungeeing” down the ceiling right in front of me. The guy sitting next to me is starring at the spider in amazement while I’m down right disgusted. I thought of smashing it with my two driving manuals but I had no such luck since the teacher came rushing in. It was as if he was sending a telepathic message to the insect to draw back since as soon as he walked into the room the spider climbed back up onto the ceiling. And when I say she bungeed in front of me I mean she was hovering in mid-air, holding onto her web. So now she’s back on the ceiling, but she’s crawling over my head, directly over me. I just couldn’t take it, having a spider fall flat on my head wasn’t how I imagined today’s class to be. So I took my stuff and headed back two seats, when all of a sudden a woman goes and takes my place. Poor lady, I was laughing alone in the back when I saw the spider coming down the ceiling once again but this time a few centimetres behind the woman’s head. That could have had been me, and I’m glad it’s not. Of course she goes up again, crawls near me again, drops down near the back of the guy in front of me, teases me (she deserves to die) and goes up again onto the ceiling…but doesn’t move. It kept me occupied for quite a while, and in the end I just lost interest and ignored it while it went away back to the front of the class. I can’t believe I didn’t smash her, she deserved it. I guess I was forgiving today.

Our teacher made us watch this video that started out looking very childish with the corny music and this baby voice until the whole subject started getting explained. I’m in Driver’s License class, the teacher told us driving wasn’t academic and now we’re watching a video about the laws of physics and kinetic forces. What the hell is this? I blocked my ears and pretended not to bother.

My friend informed me today that she’s starting a blog after having visited mine. I’m so happy, like a blog is seriously a good way to chronicle your life and in the end you win in every way. Here, you guys should check it out it’s definitely something worth seeing. The only thing is that it’s in French, and for those of you who aren’t bilingual well I don’t think you’ll understand much. Here’s the link : www.mon-imaginaire-parfait.blogspot.com and keep up the good work Nat, I seriously adore it, no joke!

Talking about French and all some of you might know that French is my first language and I’m more comfortable writing in French. I started this blog so I could get better in English and further develop my communication abilities, and I think I’m doing just fine. But I’m feeling as if I’m loosing my indentity to this blog, like if this blog is but a mask that covers who I truly am. I mean I’ve been true all along on this blog and nothing is fake…I just miss the days that I wrote in French. But now we live in a world that is getting overpowered by the English language and there’s nothing we can do about it. I might have misplaced my identity but I haven’t lost it since I’m me and I’ll always be.

I felt like writing a bit more tonight, probably because I’m still in the whole resume mode. A few minutes ago someone knocked at the door and I saw trough the frosted door window the familiar uniform of a police officer. My dad told me to answer but I was hesitant…because you never know what news they’re going to break to you once you open the door. I’m glad it wasn’t anything bad in the end; she was just asking us if we could identify this dog the police station picked up on our road last night. Our help wasn’t much since the dog looked unknown.

I took the time to do a DeviantArt account tonight (I’ll add the link later in the left margin), and I decided to do so a bit late. I have way too much pictures to upload and it’s going to take me forever. I’ll need to find a quiet afternoon to get to work on that. Amazingly I posted only 3 pictures and within minutes over 10 people added the pictures as their favourites. But the thing is that the pictures are quite mediocre and I’m not to proud of them…but they were my starting point and I’m not going to count them out.

I better head off to bed soon since I have class tomorrow, let’s get it over with once and for all. I need to go catch my episode of CSI New York that I can’t find on any channel, might as well start searching now. Have fun! Wish me success for tomorrow’s class!

Fast-Forward

My life is going at top speed

I don’t know what’s going on right now, I feel as if everything is playing in fast-forward. It’s almost 10 p.m. and I personally feel as if I just woke up, it’s crazy. Every time I look at the clock I skip 30 minutes of my life. It’s the feeling you get when you wake up to late in the morning, as if your whole day is wasted. The funny thing is that I didn’t wake up late this morning. I slept in until 9, which is considered somewhat late for me but on a whole day plan it’s actually not bad. Then again why do I get this feeling? Probably because I’m stuck in a house which is out of control, in a house where I’m presently the oldest being and I have to take everything in charge. Like I mentioned yesterday, my parents are gone to Montreal and they’re coming back tonight, in the mean time I have to cope with my brother who is acting like a liberated young adult, meaning he does everything he wants when he wants. No joke he’s been on the phone with this girl for at least 7 hours. Some might find it cute but up to this point it got down right annoying. But if I look on the brighter side if time is going by fast my parents will get here even faster and my life will go back to normal.

Cry Me A River

And drown me in love

I found the highlight of my day this morning! Some will know what I’m talking about while others will look at me confused, here I go anyways. I really like this song (well it’s kind of old) named “Do You Believe In Life After Love” by an artist named Cher. All my life, and I’m not kidding, I have associated the artist’s voice with a man’s face, until this morning. I was in my brother’s bedroom when he was watching MuchMusic when all of a sudden the music video of “Do You Believe In Life After Love” starts playing. 20 seconds into the song Cher starts to sing and to my surprise…it’s a SHE! I’m like blown away, I can never listen to the song the same way ever again. It’s not like she’s a transsexual or whatever, she’s actually a girl from birth. Confused I go see my dad who tells me that she’s indeed a woman and that he always knew and never thought she sounded like a man. It must just be my really pathetic musical ear because I’m all messed up until now.

I’m so unwell right now that I don’t even know what to write about. How about I blab about something random, like a show I watched today on TV. I caught my very first episode of 16 and pregnant and I must say that it’s a really good show. It puts in context the life of young teenage pregnancy and I just can’t believe how much those girls, and sometimes guys…as in the fathers, go through. It must be unbearable to know that your life kind of stops in an instant, or at least it takes a definite step back for a while.

To end this post I can sincerely say that time will surely come back to normal since I have my 3rd driver’s license class tomorrow. And when I’m in that class time goes by SO slowly. I only wish I could skip ahead for a bit, but you know what they say: live your life one second at a time…because you never know what’s going to happen. I’m all done for today, I need to go on with my very lame resume. Wish me luck, yet again!

And proud of stating it

I’m here, and it’s late. Actually it’s almost midnight and I’m posting since I came back from my aunt’s place and I decided to do one chapter for my resume before going to bed. Of course I can’t simply ignore my blog for a night, although I could but I have pretty pictures to post that I’m excited to show!

Yep, another boring rainy day, what can I say…do we really need this much rain? I feel as if everyday is a sad and depressing afternoon, around the time when you know the day is not forever young and that soon the night will slip into the day’s shoes. Please come back sunlight, I just need you to shine on me for a few seconds so that you can illuminate my day. Sadly my wishes aren’t your command, and I’ll need to live like this for as long as the sun stays in hiding. As I said, it was rainy, but I didn’t stay home. Nope, I instead attended this get-together evening for my aunt that is leaving for Seattle tomorrow. She hasn’t been home for a whole month and now she’s starting to get very exhausted. I’m just glad that I’m not leaving with her tomorrow because she obviously needs a lot of rest before I go and catch up with her on the 6th of August…so soon.

My brother pisses me off with his iPod Touch. I’m not jealous or anything because if I’d want one I’d go get one. See the thing is every time we go somewhere he searches for a wi-fi network and then he surfs the Internet freely. My BlackBerry couldn’t do that, not until today. I can’t believe how much I’ve been missing out on my phone, it’s impossible. It took me at least 3 months to figure out I could use MSN, almost 5 months to figure out that my BlackBerry is email compatible (duh) and now I just found out that I have unlimited Internet access based on a home network. How dumb can I be…seriously? But I guess I’m all fine now since my Internet is like 5 times faster than my brother’s. No joke, a video on Youtube takes like 5 minutes to upload wile my brother needs to look at it in little pieces, step by step.

And I forgot to say how we had nothing to do, as in my brother and I that we simply sat in the living room and went from channel to channel on the television. All of the sudden we land on this channel that is broadcasting what seemed to be the apartment building’s lobby. After a few second of “what the hell” we figured out that this channel was used to identify visitors who were coming in and out of the building. So we did what everybody…or nobody would have done, we sat there and watch as people went by. It was actually hilarious, don’t know why but we had fun. We kept on stating the obvious, that we had no life, but it didn’t stop us from having fun.

I’d better go now; I have a whole day to myself tomorrow since my parents are leaving for Montreal. Yay, another day of working on my damned resume. Wish me luck because I need it.

Three Strikes

And you’re out!

Three strikes and your out, I’m up to my second. Yes, I haven’t posted yesterday, I’ve skipped a day again but I really don’t care, because I’m probably the only person who writes a post a day…that makes me feel special, as well as an idiot since I don’t have a life. Of course we all know that’s not true because this blog is actually getting me somewhere. I’m meeting all sorts of new people who admire my work and it’s truly boosting when you get so much beautiful positive feedback from your peers.

I’m not really up to posting when I come home late at night, and since yesterday was Tuesday I had baseball, and when I have baseball I’m exhausted afterwards, and the day was very humid so it kept on adding up. But it was so much fun, Em came and she met my friends, finally, and I got to see one of my friends that I hadn’t talked to in a year. I was surprised how the group connected even though we had been apart for so long, and I’m happy we did since next week I’m leaving for 4 days to go camping with the same friends, and I’m sure we’re going to have a blast.

I spent all of my summer at home, doing some photography then and time again, even though I live a few minutes away from my friends. I don’t know, maybe it’s just because I love being home, in my environment doing what I want to do, which ends up being nothing. After the baseball game I came home and it kind of echoed in my head how seeing your friends once in a while really puts a smile on my face. I guess it’s never too late since summer has just begun, at least it feels as it’s never ending since time goes by so slowly it’s impossible.

So I went from social evening with friends to a day on my own, at home, getting up by myself…well I always do, I mean I was alone because my parents were gone to work, not knowing what to do of my day. I don’t know if you remember how I had two resumes to hand in for my next driver’s license class, and I had two weeks to finish it? Turns out my next classes are this weekend and I haven’t even started yet. This morning I sat down in bed with my depressive dog by my side (she’s been sleeping for days at a time, and she’s not even 2 years old) and I read, and read, and read, until I got sick and I decided to start the resume on chapter one. I’m finished with chapter one now, as well as chapter 2, and I already have a page and a half of text…which is way too much for the class. And did I forget to mention that I have 9 chapters to read? I’m screwed; I better stop procrastinating and get serious.

For Something

-

Yet nothing

-
When I really got sick of doing the resume I decided to take my camera and head outside. It rained overnight so everything was soaked, and the sky was covered in clouds so there wasn’t much natural lighting. I had nothing else to do, and that’s why I took over 200 pictures of everything I could find. I think I did all of the plants in the gardens around the house, although the final products are quite few in number I can definitely call this my most successful landscape photoshoot up to date. I’m telling you, when I was editing the pictures I couldn’t believe how beautiful the pictures were turning out. And may I mention that my photography skills have improved on a large scale over the last few months. I got the basics and all, but at first my editing skills were pathetic. I mean you could clearly say that the picture was edited since I had this idea in my mind that more is better…while in reality now I know that less is more. I keep the simplicity to the picture while enhancing the colours to make it more appealing.

Lately I’ve been thinking about renovating my room. My mom has been talking to me about it and all and I think it’s actually a good idea. I’m seeing in my mind plain white walls accentuated by dark wood furniture, because I want large white walls to take pictures on. All I need now is a new camera, better editing software, a laptop, photography lighting, and a bigger entourage of people, but I’m building my way up!

Anyways, I better get back to my resume or else I’ll never get it done, and I certainly can’t give my blog as an excuse. Have a great one!

Haha, cheesy…

I don’t feel like writing much tonight and that’s why this post will be relatively short. I want to talk about the essentials and my brother just got back from camping, mysteriously I feel like talking to him endlessly. It’s as if we’re getting closer all of a sudden, and I’m glad we are…

Rise of the Storm

Ever so beautiful, but danger lies within...

I just came back in from outside because I went on a short walk with my dog outside. It’s actually quite cold outside, that is for a summer day. As I waited for my dog to “do something”, while clearly she wasn’t really at it since she was chasing frogs, I looked up at the sky and noticed that it was littered with millions of stars. Its mind dazzling how many bright spot they are out there…somewhere. As I looked downwards onto the horizon I saw a little moving spot that flashed red and blue mechanically. It was a plane, but at that very instant I felt kind of taken away by this plane in the night sky, as if it was calling for me…telling me to escape the craziness I’m living right now. If only I could.

There are situations in life that simply jump into your face and catch you off guard. These situations are generally alarming and put you in this conflict where two individuals are trying to win over their side. On the moment you can’t help but say what you’re feeling, putting into words what you feel is right and represents the truth. Well as they say the truth hurts, but the truth ones eyes can be harmful to ones self. Now that the whole situation is over, or at least you think it is, you wish you could take back everything you said since those words only dug you a deeper hole. Clearly the best solution is to always keep your mouth shut whatever the situation might be, because you learn from your mistakes, and once is often enough. But keep in mind that what is said is said and it can’t be taken back. The words you say serve as a fundamental background to your understanding of the situation at hand…so don’t give up, just shut up and time will go by…because only time holds the answer to the future.

Em came back yesterday, and I got the chance to see her today. I must say that it was the first day of complete sunshine in a while, I wonder if it’s a sign. We watched P.S.: I Love You, a film that I highly recommend to everybody with a truly sensitive soul. Each day keeps on getting better.

I'm In Miami

Not literally

HA! I didn’t write a post yesterday night, and the reason is that I just didn’t feel like doing so. Lately I’ve been posting every single night, and I must say I’m quite proud of myself, but yesterday night was an exception. You know when they are those nights were time simply slips by? You’re watching TV, there’s a really exciting show playing, after half an hour the show ends but moments later the same show plays again, but a different episode, again and again, and next thing you know it’s close to midnight and you just don’t give because you only want to go to bed, enjoy yourself for once in a while. Well that was my night…and I’m glad I did otherwise for once.

I feel as if I’m living in Miami right now, not because of the beautiful oceans and the sandy beaches but more because of the tropical weather we’ve been having quite recently. I’m not joking, within a day it goes from sunny to rainy, back to sunny, then rainy again, over and over. Like yesterday morning I woke up to thunder and rain, a big storm to a point where the house was shaking. Then at around 10 it was super sunny outside, basically the most beautiful day of summer. This weather is seriously getting annoying because I’ve planned my very first “professional” photoshoot and I just don’t want the rain to mess up the whole set…because the pictures will be taken in the middle of a field, with a convertible. So please, no rain, I’m begging…

While I’m talking about yesterday I’d like to mention how I was home alone during the day and my parents called me up in the afternoon to tell me that my godfather and his wife were coming over…with their two MASSIVE dogs. 3 things : First of all I haven’t taken my shower yet, hence I’m not dressed and I’m scared that they’re going to knock at the door at any given time; into the shower I went. Secondly my parents aren’t home yet…and if they arrive before my parents it’s going to be a bit awkward since I don’t see them very often, well there’s a first for everything. And thirdly their dogs are HUGE, and my dog is TINY. I don’t really mind the volume factor but when I say HUGE I mean that the breed of dog they have are known for their jaws that “lock” which means that when they bite they won’t let go. On top of that my dog is still a baby and she has a propensity to be very annoying with other dogs, like she jumps at them to play. But I haven’t posted anything about my dogs death…so in the end he’s all fine, although I can’t hide the fact that I had already chosen a picture for my dogs death as well as a farewell message…I’m that pathetic.

Well I’m wrapping up my blog right now, one thing before I leave. My mom asked me to help her out this afternoon to “unearth” some grass; I don’t quite know how to say it. Like we took these flat shovels and we got rid of the grass around a tree in the garden so that there would only be soil to put flowers in. If I’ve been clear enough you might get what I mean. But that’s not the point, what I’m trying to say is that I actually did something productive instead of staying inside and doing the usual, being nothing. After we were done I looked at myself and I thought “Wow, what seems like an effort at first can actually turn out to be something pleasant and fun”. Just thought I should share that with you.

Ha, I just noticed how I’ve been enumerating “things” in my blog tonight and it’s ironic how I chose a song by the Ting Tings, and it wasn’t done on purpose. But I could of easily chose Miami Trick as well…although I hate the song. Totally random, ignore this.

Wide Awake

Although I’m half asleep

I’m really tired right now, so don’t blame me if this post doesn’t make any sense, I am an impaired writer…because I didn’t sleep enough. Let’s just say that lying in bed until 2 in the afternoon, sometimes getting up to eat and walk for a few seconds around the house isn’t very productive.

Yesterday afternoon some company dropped off a massive piece of equipment at my neighbour’s house, which is the person who lives in front of my house. I wasn’t aware that she was doing construction or anything, and why the heck would she need a crane on that beautiful Thursday afternoon? Well turns out that she wanted all the trees around her house destroyed since they were doing damage to her roof. What started out as a beautiful haven is now a construction site, sand everywhere with pieces of trees here and there. I must say that at first I found the whole situation rather promising for an out of the ordinary picture, but even then, it’s just wrong. Anyways, what I’m trying to say is that the people who were in charge of the whole situation continued their work until late Friday night, being tonight. As a matter of fact I’m not even sure if they’re done. Still, this isn’t my point.

At around 4 I decided to head outside for a bit, to “meditate” on the deck near the pool. I found the temperature rather soothing; there were no bugs, the sun was hidden behind massive grey clouds, and the wind was blowing considerably. It’s an atmosphere you don’t find everyday, and I’m glad I took the time to set back a bit since life gets very hectic. Why the heck am I stating this anyway? Well what would a blog post be without a bit of complaining? Obviously the whole “deforestation” occurring in the neighbour’s yard was quite disrupting, to a point where I had enough and I decided to head inside. See the thing is this peace of land on which I live is my private oasis. There are no cars constantly passing by, no loud pedestrians, only the chirps of song birds and the wind between the branches. To have such a sudden change in my environment is like taking a fish out of water…although I’m not sure it applies. In the end what I’m trying to say is that you must cope with everything life throws at you…even these stupid things for which I’m blabbing about right now. Keep in mind that I’m tired…

You Found Me

-

Now I'm loosing myself in you...

-
I also realized something else today, how I have a brother who has lived with me for 13 years and I’m missing out on all the fun because I’m to stubborn to find something in common with him. Around the time of supper today I was sitting randomly in a chair in the downstairs living room when my brother came along. Yesterday night he made me watch an episode of Family Guy (for those of you who do not know what it is it’s a very popular TV show here in America that puts in context the defects of modern society) and let’s just say that after a while every single scene gets stuck into your head. I was there, downstairs, watching TV of course, because I don’t randomly sit in chairs…although I could, when my brother came along to talk about the funniest part of the show. He was quite hyper at that moment; although I tried to remain patient by telling him to please stop I just couldn’t help but laugh. I hadn’t laughed with my brother in a long time, and I’m actually sad I haven’t. He’s there, I’m there…what are we waiting for? For one of us to die and to look back at the past, wishing we had done more of our life? It’s not how I want it to end…but its life, unpredictable and confusing. Sometimes I wonder why this blog isn’t called “This is life” since I’m always making reference to the same quote. Some things are just meant to be.

Oh and I forgot to mention how I watched the footage of the first man on the moon today. The montage was actually very beautiful. Makes you think how it was more than putting a foot on a piece of rock, more like taking a step on another world.

I'm Watching You

As in TV…of course

I actually watched television today, something I don’t do quite often, even though I have one in my room, and I came to the conclusion that I need to find myself a television series, if that’s how you call it. You know, those really intense shows that air once a week and that are very intense and that captivate the audience. If that’s not enough how about those shows that always cut to commercial break every time the suspense gets unbearable, and then the show states “to be continued” when the intrigue is beating at it’s fullest. Now that you get what I mean I need to find myself a show that isn’t already at its 5th season, nor a show that is plain old awkward. I’ve seen commercials and all, like The Listener, Pushing Daisies, Californiacation, and Lipstick Jungle?!?! Let’s face it; all the interesting shows are almost over, like Lost, and Grey’s Anatomy. I can’t say I haven’t had my fair share of these shows. I sometimes watch CSI New York, whenever I’m able to catch it, and I remember when I was young…those Pokemons or Digimons…not to sure; the good days. I should sit down and surf the Internet for a bit and try to find something interesting.

Em went to see the new Harry Potter movie while on her trip to London, well now she’s in Tillsonburg. Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince, I’ve been waiting quite a while for that movie. I remember when they announced back in 2008 that the movie was rescheduled for July because of Twilight. That really pissed me off, one of the many reasons why I don’t particularly like Twilight. I’ve been a fan of Harry Potter ever since I read the first chapter of the very first book. I might be sounding like a total nerd right now but it’s the truth…and in the end being a nerd is something completely fictional. I was young, and the story was so captivating; made you wish you were a wizard as well. Anyways, as the plot grew larger the books got darker. What first started as a story for young children ended into an adventure rated 13 and up. Omitting this, we all fell under the spell of the novels since they are pure pieces of literary perfection. Enough said about my literary interest, what I meant to say is that I’m stuck at home, not even able to attend the premiere of the movie; something I had anticipated for quite a while. I was supposed to go see it with my cousins and my brother but they are presently in Virginia Beach, somewhere in the United-States so it’s clearly impossible. I guess I’ll just need to wait like everybody else who’s stuck at home, doing nothing else than wander from computer screen, to television screen, to BlackBerry screen, to iPod screen, to window…how beautiful it is outside…to bad I’m stuck inside…right.

The time of sympathy and understanding is over

I just thought of something, something which I find interesting. Here it goes: I’m not a man, nor a woman; in fact I’m a human being. But why is this, why can’t I be like everybody else. Well I’m unique, no doubt about it. I break the mould, I’m different, I take chances, I dare to experience change once in a while. I’m not the stereotypical individual who hides himself from everything seemingly different, because in my head everything is seemingly alike. I don’t care whether you’re bisexual, gay, lesbian, transsexual, heterosexual, black or white, or anything in between. I’m going to talk to anybody as long as there’s respect between us, from there on we can build a relationship based on trust and understanding. I have an identity and that’s what I’m trying to promote. I’m not anybody, nor am I everybody. I’m someone that wants to be heard, someone who’s crying out for help…help for humanity.

Before closing this post I’d like to mention that I’m proud that I reduced the length of my posts by a lot. I think that the new posts are more interesting as well as pertinent to what I have to say. That’s all for today, oh and listen to the song which is listed in the Daily Beat, it’s worth it.

Wake Me Up

I think I need a reality check

I just finished watching the Canada’s Next Top Model finale; what a show! I’m here right now, sitting in front of the computer, wanting a brand new camera, a big room with huge white walls, extraordinary lighting, and that perfect smile that’s only waiting to be captured. Unfortunately I have none of that, and I don’t intend on owning any of that material within the next days…if only I could. Don’t you just hate it, or love it, how every time you finish a captivating book, movie, or television show, you’re in this kind of phase where you want to be exactly like the people in that specific media. It’s the whole reality that’s rubbing off onto you and you just can’t help it but dream. It’s what the producers want after all; they want you to be begging for more until you can’t take it anymore.

It's in the Eyes II

Within my soul lies a sea of misery

-
About yesterday’s post, it was quite spontaneous and it actually felt good to give out my opinion for once. I’m usually the kind of guy that philosophically stands still as he’s getting the beating rather than putting up a fight. Everything is mirrored, sometimes it’s profitable to do so while on other occasions I wish I could turn back time and stand up to my enemies. I guess we all chose our fights for a reason, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. I’d rather build up an ocean of insults inside of soul than squirting out criticism that’s thrown at me. Don’t they say that once isn’t often enough? I wonder…maybe once is only a warning, twice is the strike…and thrice?! Can I even say thrice? Anyways…third times the charm and by then I hope people realize that something is going wildly wrong. It’s like a reference to modern warfare…we had World War I, which served as a message to humanity, then came World War II which was the strike on humanity, and now are we waiting for World War III? Waiting? Waiting on the world to change? Like Einstein said: I do not know with what weapons World War III will be fought but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones. Where am I going with this anyways? I leave this to your discretion, take of it what you might find pertinent and leave the rest out.

I feel like this crazy psychopath that’s yapping about the end of the world and all, forgive me my innocence. I just think that my posts are more interesting when I have a random discussion with myself other than enumerating every single event of my boring little day, like the fact that I edited pictures of Em via Windows Live Messenger, and that the pictures turned out to be AMAZING, to a point where I’d consider one in particular as an add in a magazine. That’s not important, right? I mean it’s the basic post I used to write…somebody stop me.

I think I better go dose off for a bit…and when I say a bit I mean a lot, because what I’m saying doesn’t make any sense. I’m basically having a discussion with myself over and over again, trying to find an answer but wanting to ask more questions in the process. Don’t worry, I’m quite sane at the very moment, I’m just confused.

And don’t get me wrong, I actually posted Fergalicious as the song of the day, I’m not quite sure why. It’s probably just because I found it on my brother’s iPod and I listened to it for fun. Quite an addicting song indeed, but it’s just completely not appropriate for my musical ear. Anyways, don’t pay attention to that, it’s not important.

P.S.: Em, if you ever read this post, don’t be offended. Your pictures were truly amazing and I had the time of my life editing them. Me saying that “it’s not important” is just me being confused and trying to find an answer to a question within a question…if you even get what I mean.

Speak Your Mind

And change the world in the process

Its summer and I don’t have a thousand things on my mind, apart from two resumes that I need to hand in, not this weekend, but next weekend for my driver’s license class. When you have nothing on your mind what else can you do other than think? Lately I’ve been thinking so much that I’ve been giving myself headaches; it’s that awful. So many ideas: photography scenarios, reality behind society, texts, and much more. Where to start? Well when it’s in your head there’s basically no limits, you can do hundreds of things at once. Where the hell am I going with this anyways? Not sure, but I know there’s one thing I’ve thought about and wish to talk about, here I go.

How a spark started a forest fire

Something is deeply irritating me, something we normally don’t see which is only noticeable on second analysis. This “something” can’t simply be explained in a casual context, and it is why I decided to deliver my message under the form of a text.

I woke up this morning and I looked at myself in the mirror. I stood there, looking at this blank visage, flaws and all, without making a move. There was something about this virgin face that caught my attention, something I didn’t understand. As I stood for a moment longer it suddenly came to me. I’m ugly and there’s nothing I can do about it. I then proceeded to screaming out loud, telling the whole wide world that I am ugly. Suddenly, a thousand looks turn my way. People start talking to me, they tell me that I’m beautiful, that I’m a special person in every single way.

The next day…

I woke up this morning and I looked at myself in the mirror. I stood there, looking at this blank visage, flaws and all, without making a move. There was something about this virgin face that caught my attention, something I fully understood. As I stood for a moment longer it naturally came to me. I’m beautiful and there’s nothing I can do about it. I then proceeded to screaming out loud, telling the whole wide world that I am beautiful. Suddenly, a million looks turn my way. People come up to me and give me these dirty looks; they call me a stuck-up bitch, a selfish person, a cocky guy.

What is this? A dream…or is it reality? Why are the people who first told me I was beautiful are now trying to make me miserable? By putting me on top they drove me to the edge of the cliff, and as soon as I’d feel confident they’d push me over so that they could watch me fall endlessly. In the end actions speak louder than words. This is life and there’s nothing you can do about it, love or hate it, it’s your decision. Even though society goes one way, I’m trying to pull aside and run away…because tonight I’ll close my eyes, keeping in mind that I’m beautiful, no matter what they say…

Life can be a bitch some days, sorry if I’m employing these kind of words but it’s the truth. I’m not miserable; as a matter of fact I’m quite a happy person, happy that I’ve found the answer to common misunderstanding of the human behaviour in a society. I’m all done for tonight, I actually wrote something decent for once. Good night to the world!

Time for Change

Because change is good

I changed my signature once again, although I haven’t uploaded the pics yet. It seems as if I’m not satisfied with what I have, that as soon as I like something I quickly find another thing to replace it. But the thing is that I don’t see how I’ll be able to create another signature from the signature I presently have since it’s as basic as it gets. I don’t know if you remember but at first it was this huge “c” with a somewhat little “g” inside of it, completed by a dot at the two extremities of the “c”. Although it created a logo as well, the whole arrangement of letters was quite concentrated and brought all of the attention to one specific, unwanted, focal point in the image. Well that signature transformed into this “cedric.gigoux” but with a lot of spacing between each character, which was visually appealing and modern but at the same time very irritating to fit into the entire image without overlaying on different colors. Now I decided to go basic and simple by removing the spacing between the characters and changing the font to create a more contracted signature for maximum space in the picture as well as adding visibility, and not an unwanted focal point.

Today I really had nothing to do, so I took my brother’s iPod Toutch and I went through some of his new songs. I fell on one in particular named “Don’t Trust Me” from 3HO!3, an artist I had never heard of until now. The song is so provocative that it’s good. I personally am not a revealing person and I hate being in uncomfortable situations, but the lyrics have this realism embedded in them to make everything sound so much more familiar. And you know how some songs are energetic, like you listen to them and they boost your self-esteem. Well this song makes you want to get out there and pick a fight, and of course win.

I’ve been looking through modeling agencies lately. I’m kind of interested in giving it a shot, and you can’t blame me since when you start photography they are 3 major domains which are related in which you can expand : fashion, modeling, and medias. I’m sure they are more, but those are the 3 main ones. As I was saying, I found an agency thanks to one of my friends, who is a model. But you see, I don’t feel as if I have what it takes, first of all I’m to short, I’m 5’8’’ while the minimum height for men my age is 5’10’’…but on the other hand I’m only 16 and you don’t stop growing until you’re 19. I don’t know why but it seems as if I have some self-esteem issues on which I’ll have to work on since people clearly come up to me and tell me that I have what it takes. Now there’s only one person who can make the decision, and that’s me…I’ll have to sleep on it.

Even though I talked about the song “Don’t Trust Me” in my post as the song of the day, I’m actually putting “Operator” by Shiloh in the Daily Beat since it’s a song which I can refer to…well…not directly. You see, the author of the song is sending out the message that she doesn’t want to be that perfect “Barbie” figure like everyone else in modern society, but more like somebody unique. Obviously a guy can’t have a perfect “Barbie” figure…unless they were some transformations. In my case I’m just referring to myself as being somebody unique, having a familiar face but at the same time keeping something original and creative to my personality.

That’s enough for tonight; I hope you all a good night and have fun!

I've Got A Feeling

That tonight’s going to be a good night…

I’m finally done with my driver’s license class for this weekend, and I’m so happy about it. Seriously, that class was really killing me. In that little class time goes by so slowly it’s unbelievable. Today the first half actually went by quickly, but once the break at 11 was over it seemed as if seconds became minutes, the seats were getting more and more uncomfortable, and the beautiful temperature outside was killing me.

Jeu d'Enfant

Yes, for once it was actually sunny outside. It’s been weeks since we last had sunshine and it was a big downer when I woke up to a beautiful Sunday afternoon. But I need to get over with this class as soon as possible to start driving quickly since I need my independence…at least I think I do. Both ways I’m optimistic and looking forward to the classes to come since as time goes by so does the end, if that’s even comprehensible.

You know how I said that my classes ended at 4:30, well the instructor actually made us leave at 3:30 today. It was very generous of him because I was going crazy, not being able to move in my seat. I called up my dad and I told him to get there as soon as possible since I couldn’t take it anymore. When I stepped into the car I could hear the radio faintly playing in the back and some interesting song was on the air, so I “pumped up the volume”, like they say in I don’t know what commercial. Turns out the radio station was airing the hit songs of the 21st century, and it was seriously a flashback in time. The old times, and you could actually hear the difference in audio quality from now and back then, it’s quite amazing. One of those songs was Hollaback Girl, by Gwen Stefani. It’s been a while since I last heard that song and I must say that it was quite enjoyable to hear some old tunes. That’s why I’m putting it in today’s Daily Beat.

What could I possibly do after a long day in class? Certainly there was no time to rest since my mom came and told me that we were heading to my aunt’s after supper, who lives in the town of Bourget. All of my elementary school friends live in Bourget, and I seriously feel isolated out here and the country. That’s why when I go there I try to see some of the people I know, people whom I rarely see. Well when I got there I was talking to one of my friends on msn who was awfully bored…so was I. She lives a few blocks away from my aunt’s so it wasn’t quite a big deal walking to her house. That’s how I ended up walking the streets of town for an hour and a half, running under the rain, and talking under the town’s streets lights…something I miss out on a lot. I miss the people I used to know…I miss the feeling of belonging to a family of friends. Once I’ll get my licenses I guess I’ll be able to see them more often…

Anyways, I’m going to bed now. It’s so much easier to write a post when you’re resuming the events of a few hours ago and not a few days. My day has been successful…now my life must move on, which means I need to go to sleep. I’ll be sleeping in tomorrow morning because I need my much deserved sleep

P.S.: The picture I took named "Jeu d'Enfant" was a randomly shot portrait and it actually turned out amazing, proof that photography isn't always based on skills...although I like to say I have skills...

Pass Me The Wheel

Now shut up and drive!

Shit! We’re Saturday and I completely forgot that I had a driver’s license class this morning! Thank God I have parents or else I would have had slept in and I would have had never got there in time.

Here I am on this less then promising Saturday morning, up at 7, getting ready for my first driver’s license class ever, not knowing where it is. It’s been a while since I’ve woke up this early; it felt like school all over again. Even worst! I went to bed at 2 in the morning yesterday night, not knowing I had my driver’s license class. I wasn’t really looking forward to that class; I mean the whole driving context is kind of a turn off for me lately. I was super excited at first to get my licenses and all but once you’re behind the wheel it’s a whole different story. I guess I’ll just need to get used to it since I’m only 16, I have a long life to live and cars these days are must have accessories.

We got there on time, but the place was really ghetto and old. I was freaked out when I stepped inside this apartment style building where the floors are so crooked you can’t even put a pen on a desk or else it rolls off. And did I forget to mention that my class is from 9:30 to 4:30, Saturday and Sunday, this weekend and the weekend in two weeks. I was quite surprise when I stepped in the room to notice that I was the only 16 year old guy. Everybody there was old and I was the youngest one…which made it even more uncomfortable.

Portrait of a Perfect Morning

Seemingly perfect yet it lacks in details

So the instructor steps in, he’s a large, tall, black man with a big voice. It was very intimidating…as well as hilarious since he reminded me my crazy history teacher in every single sense. He starts, and his voice is really loud. Not only that but he has these weird habits of repeating himself twice as well as saying to students that don’t get the right answer “I’m going to hit you and make you cry!”, as a joke of course.

It was a very intense class and the seats were killing me! I didn’t really understand the whole context but there’s a few things I retained : if I pass this class I have an insurance reduction as well as a reduced waiting time to acquire my G2, and I need 80% to pass. Shouldn’t be that hard, I only need to manage to stay awake and I should be able to live through it. And the guy gave us homework! Its school all over again; I just can’t take it! The place is horrible, it reeks, it’s annoying and impertinent…but it’s for a good cause…oh, and I’m going there again tomorrow…

What do you prefer, being on top or simply not being worthy of comment?

When I left the damned place at 4:30 I was SO happy, as well as burned out. How is it even possible, I barely moved? I guess some people are actually capable of draining your energy by simply talking to you. And did I mention that my dad made me drive; he pulled the car on the side of the road and told me that it was my time to shine. For a split second I panicked since everybody was in the car, my mom, my dad, and my brother. But I guess I did well since I’m alive and writing this post. It’s comes to you naturally, as in driving, and I managed to not hit anything…although I saw 2 cats that could have had been potential road kill, nothing more.
I should head to bed now…got another class tomorrow and then I’m over with it for this weekend! One down, three to go. Wish me luck because I have homework to do, see ya.

Point And Shoot

So many things going on!

During the whole week I got up considerably late…or as they say, fashionably late, and I just couldn’t help but reflect on random subjects inside my head. My goal was to find a philosophical answer to a topic which I found inspiring, and this is what it gave me.

If it wasn’t for my existence on this earth the world as we know it would not be the same; the outcome of every single historical event would alter in some way, leading to a different tomorrow. How is this so? How could a simple being like me make such a drastic change in today’s society? Well it’s quite simple when you think about it. My existence is based on choices I make that influence my future as well as the environment around me, hence the whole world. These are forces that work beyond our understanding since this phenomenon that I’m trying to prove is entirely debatable but in the end it can never reach a significant conclusion because of its lack of fictional evidence. The whole concept is based on pure philosophy and it’s very hard to understand without a proper example…

Let’s say that a child is born, well this child affects the life style of the family that surrounds him, furthermore the relatives that ignore there daily lives to give attention to this child. Let’s say that the child was never born, this means that everybody would have had lived on with their daily lives. One of these people is a family relative that is gone to war. In this war the man fought hard and courageously, taking down at least a dozen of enemy soldiers. These soldiers have families of their own that are affected by the death of these particular individuals. Now comes the time of grieving while life opportunities are ignored. One of these people is a man of politic that left his job for a week to grieve the death of his relative. During his absence a colleague got a promotion, which is a colleague that is quite inferior when compared to the absent individual. If the child was born the man would had have never left his country, the enemy soldiers would of not have been killed, if so in a seemingly different way at a different time in a different context, and the individual would have had never left his job, hence he would had have the promotion. The answer to this whole chain of event is quite short yet very strong: one person is indeed able to change the world…

Enough of this confusing talk, how about a bit of drama? Well…it isn’t really drama; it’s just a very unfortunate chain of events that has occurred during the last month in the town where I live near. Friday we were about to make supper when my mom noticed that we were missing a few ingredients for the recipe. Of course we couldn’t just abandon the whole meal so we decided to take a little ride to the grocery store. When we got in the town named Bourget, we noticed that there were flashing lights near the towns main intersection (the town is actually composed of only one intersection). When we got close a firefighter asked us where we were going. My mom replied that we wanted to head straight ahead, first to the grocery store and after that to my grandma’s house. It wasn’t a problem since the places where we intended to go to were before the “accident”. Yes, accident. The firefighter told us that a big truck tried to turn at the intersection and unwillingly made an electrical post fall; the wires were on the street everywhere and there was still some current in them. But it wasn’t what it sounded like, it was actually quite frightening. The post was thorn apart in 3 pieces while the man in the truck was trapped since if he tried to escape it was a certain death…you know…physics and electricity. Anyways, I took a picture but you can’t see much.

Only but a fraction of the damage we did

We then met up with my grandmother who was standing in her front yard (everybody was outside, chatting and trying to figure out what happen…you know the typical small rural town scene). It is then that my grandmother and a neighbour started making a compilation of every unfortunate event that happened recently to the town…and I must say that I was quite surprised by the final number. A month ago a drunk guy crashed into my grandmother’s 2 cars, destroying one completely, after that my grandmother got her licence plates stolen off her car, there was a hold up at the pharmacy…as in an armed robbery, a guy fell near the town intersection and never got up (rumours suspect he’s dead), a dead body was found in some apartment, they cut the water in the town, the accident of the day with the electric post, oh and some thieves broke into the liquor store, and finally some people are having fun breaking into cars and stealing radios. And to add to that on Friday night the town didn’t have any electricity until late in the night. You want action? We got action!

On a more positive side of life I took the time to head outside and take pictures of everything I saw, including me. It’s not very practical to take pictures when you can’t see what you’re shooting, but in the end they turned out great! I’ll upload them later on.
