Hey.
It's been a while since I've been here.
I guess, I haven't been inspired enough to want to write and share recently...until now.
This post will probably not have much on fashion related things.
Just me sharing some of my fav things, and how I'm doing.
So, Jack Layton eh? Geeze. I didn't know his sickness was terminal so the news about his death was quite a shock to me. How unfortunate. Canada loved him.
He seemed like a great man with many optimistic ideas. He created a glimmer of hope and inspiration in many Canadians even with the Conservative majority in front, and he set the NDP bar pretty damn high.
I will be wearing orange today (I should have yesterday). Rest In Peace Jack. You'll always have my vote.
My summer has been busy.
I'm working like crazy! There are two full time people on sick leave and a part-time person went away to school. So, needless to say it's hectic! I usually work 13-15 days in a row before I get two days off. When I finally get some time off I go camping.
I went camping at Sleeping Giant Provincial Park few weeks ago and it was wonderful.
The weather was perfect, there were no swarms of mosquitos, the lake was amazingly warm to swim in and the water was calm when I went kayaking. (Man, Kayaking is so peaceful).
Also, there was bonfires with friends and an abundance of food and alcohol. It was fun.
Oh, and I've also been running lately! How crazy is that?
Yep, about every second day for 30 minutes. I'm on this running program http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml that is suppose to gradually
"take you from the couch to 5k" within a matter of 2 months. I've been running for a month now and found out it's more difficult than I thought it was going to be but I haven't puked or fainted yet, which means I'm doing okay I think.
My lungs HATE me during the running, but LOVE me after the running. It's a neat experience.
Here are some videos:
I absolutely love Paramore's Album Brand New Eyes. It's one of those c.ds were I can listen to all the way through plus over and over again.
There are not a lot of awesome rocker chicks out there now-a-days. Most female artists in the music industry are pop singers, and there are definitely more abundance of guy rockers.
Haley Williams voice is strong.
My favorite songs off the album are:
Ignorance, The Only Exception and Misguided Ghosts. But like I said, I enjoy all of them.
I've been feeling this song lately.
Guns n Roses: Patience.
I have a thing for 80's music. Maybe my mom blasted it when I was a toddler running around the house. Not sure. But this song is pretty epic. Axl is sexy, and Slash is just way cooler then anyone else around.
That's all for now.
I'll probably post some more videos soon. And even another fashion post eventually. (I have an idea swirling around in my head).
Music makes me happy.
