Social Networking and your health - Feb 20th

I read a tweet today by a young lady @SteFloresMakeup which says...

"i cant keep up...status updates on FB, tweeting, msn, skype, bbm, model mayhem, building a blog, website...how the EFFFF do u ppl do this!!!
about 8 hours ago from web"


I will not say that I have to deal with any of this because well I'm not important enough for people to care what my status is or what iI'm thinking of...but it is something that people do... Has this replaced life and interaction...

I received an email on facebook from a friend I hadn't talked to in awhile that went along the lines of...

"friend: ...hey what happened to your facebook page. Its like you shut it down...
me: Yeah, I want to take a break from facebook for awhile...didn't you read my display pic it says that my mind is closed until further notice...
friend: aw but I haven't talked to you in so long...
me: well here's my number gimme a call, we need to catch up...
friend: ok ill call you soon"

needless to say I still haven't received that call...then it dawned on me. If I hadn't cut off my facebook page in the manner that I did...the only assurance that this person would know if I was alive would be through recent status updates or if I uploaded a new picture...and the only interaction with this friend that I haven't talked to in ages would have surely been a post on my wall that would probably have gone like...

...omg I haven't spoken 2 u in sooo long how u been?..( I would have replied...)
...good styll, yeah its been awhile how are you?...
it would go on like that for about 2 more post than one of us would just stop replying all together and we would revisit this interaction in the next 2 - 3 months...IN THE EXACT SAME FRIGGEN MANNER!

now I know some may say, well why didn't you call them? yes I could have, but the fact of the matter is YOU said you would call and I'M not going out of my way to look for you like I'm beggin for people to talk to...cause im not...just to make it clear..

I know people..actually to be truthful I've become one of those people...who could go a whole day sitting around a computer watching others lives from twitter, facebook, blogs whatever...When you look at yourself in the mirror and see what you've become, you get scared and pitiful Lol.... but no more! I refuse to be like that!... I'm not going to give up social networking completely but I definitely wont spend time looking at others lives from a screen...I've started going to the gym and reading again...and no more shows like Jersey Shore...yes I said I watch Jersey Shore stone me whydontchya!

Break the circle of no life!

Are you happy? - Feb 19th

 

When it comes down to it, you decide where your life will end up and how you want your life to end up. I was talking with a friend of mine today who was telling me a story about someone she knew. The person haS no job, no schooling, nothing going for them. 25 and living with his mother...pause...[sidenote]

no disrespect to anyone out there living at home...Sometime I feel I'll never leave home, my mom babied me A LOT and that has definitely taken its toll on my aspirations to "leave the nest", like the food is sooooo good(Lol)  and there's a lot of love within my household...although good, its made me nervous and intimidated by life and the real world. [end]

...but that wasn't the real problem, the problem was in his excuse.." I never had my father around, and no one really supported me" what?! I never had my father either and with every decision I make in life 90% of the time people are telling me why its the biggest mistake ever and giving me the cons and not a single pro.

Don't let something as trivial as that stand in your path to happiness and success...

don't get me wrong I am feeling for anyone that has had to go through the struggle of not having a parent...I went threw it and believe me there were too many point's in my life where I could have really used my fathers love, guidance, support but he was doing things that made life hard for me and my mother.

But I WILL NOT use something like that as an excuse for not being happy and successful...

half the black population don't got no daddy...it's no longer a shock or surprise when a black youth say's "oh its just me and my mom" , "I ain't got no daddy" or even "its just me and my father" somewhere close by 3 other kids are saying "me too! I know how you feel!"...

In the end you rise either way and you take this and you become better...so that when you become a success and people realize that you did it without the strength and guidance of a father figure, they admire you even more and respect your success even more...

basically what I'm saying is don't blame your  unhappiness and lack of successions on others...when it comes down to it you decide where your life will end up...

ARE YOU HAPPY?
NO...
DO YOU WANT TO BE HAPPY?
YES..
THAN CHANGE SOMETHING!

Life..

Do something...

Colour/ Advertisement Hmwk

Just thought I would share some work I had to do for my colour theory class. We were to make three advertisements for a brand/company using Achromatic(without colour,black&white),  Pure Chromatic(regular colour) and Monochromatic(a single hue of colour). I chose Telus because there was a blackberry in front of me at the time. Anyway here are the advertisements I did...maybe I should go into advertisement ...hmm...what do you think?

Into the Past Post: Victoria Day 09

Okay. so this is an EXTREMELY late post. Last year  I met up with these ppl on Victoria Day at Woodbine Beach. We were there for a bbq and to watch the fireworks. So I got my camera and decided to take some random pictures. Sometimes, I hate being behind the camera but because of my extreme self consciousness in my looks I always take instead of being took, even when ppl offer to take my pictures...anyway from what I can remember of this day it was on the fence. We didnt end up really spending much time at the barbeque because of some arguments. I would tell you all about it but I wouldn't want to put anyone on blast...or do I...

here's how one part of the argument went...at least what I can remember...

Nate: Hey, whats going on? whered she go? why she mad?
Jordie: F*ck man i don't know? shes being a bitch and stupid
Da girl: (pops up out of nowhere from a crowd of people)  You got something to say you better say it to my f*cking face!)

Jordie:(literally walk up to her face nose to nose) your being a BITCH!

Nate: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA

ahah oh man that was a funny day. But cold as frack! anyway hopefully we can do it again... so I took these photo and everyone was asking for them and I never delivered. Yeah, I have a bad habit of procrastination and ish. but I had nothing to do today and found them so here they are.
