kind reminder 01.

We pretend like we are listening but most of the time we aren't. Everybody is to consumed with their own ordeals to take a second look. So be kind to those that take the time to adore the words that slip your lips, synchronize laughter as much as you can, and never let the one that stayed, get away.

Just So You Know - Jesse Mccartney

TIFF and Indie Week.

I'm gonna have to make this one short. I've been so busy lately with keeping my head just above water-to say the least. I've got some stuff to catch up on in my life and I'm trying not to waste a minute. I have a few things lined up for the next month or so. I'm pretty excited to be busy (or at least attempting to be). I've been transferred over to Scotiabank Theater for two weeks for Toronto Annual International Film Festival. It isn't all it's painted out to be. Getting up at 4am is no joke to be at for 7am but I guess it's what comes along with it, right? It is downtown after all. So far I haven't seen anyone famous. I saw a Spielberg look-a-like but really, what are the chances of that happening to me? I miss Queensway though. Well, as much as you can miss it really. A few months ago I signed up to be a volunteer for Indie week and I got accepted. I'll be working till (obvi) but I'm pretty stoaked about it. I'll get to see all these great bands that I've never been exposed to before. All in all i'm trying to enhance my resume. I'm also trying to try new things since I haven't really done that for myself in a long time. All this has me excited. I'm finally motivating myself enough. That's all for tonight. I need to be up in 4 hours, eeek. Until the next one guys! xo

I really have no tolerance for bullshit to be completely honest. I've gotten pretty tired of turning the other cheek just to have it slapped just as hard as the other side. I'm fed up with being the "bigger person". Why do we bother saying hello if we both know we can't stand one another? How do you walk around really thinking you have done absolutely nothing wrong. I swear to God the next time I see you, I won't hesitate to give you a piece of my mind. Consider this your warning.

I`m always waiting for the day that i`m going to have to give you away. It breaks my bones before I even hit the floor. But I understand. That in a universe this busy and with faith so corrupted, what else can you do. You have to give some away and just hope for better days. Let your prayer get a little bit stronger and your desires a little more purer. I just hope you know that I would have given up my flesh, religion and core to be the reason for your primary happiness.

Shooting stars & everything in between

A week away can really break down all defenses. I just got back from an amazing week away with Alex and his family up in Hailburton. About a three hour drive out of the city (well needed)!Talk about relaxing. Not only was our cottage beautiful and with our own private beach. But the view was outstanding and the nights were nothing but soothing. I can still smell the fire in my hair, the bud in my hoodies. I'm gonna miss counting shooting stars late at night while the lakes still. I'll be missing the sound of singing wolves and the waves kissing the shore. Luckily, you always end up with a little bit of the beach to bring home. I can't lie. I missed my warm, big bed and Jennifer too much lol. If there was any way I could have packed all my loves, I would've. Country life just reminds me how much of a waste I am causing on myself by remaining in the city. But I promise all that will change in due time. I can't wait for next summer. With all the fishing and boating I did, I am super stoaked to do all these things again with a bigger crowd of friends. For the most part though, I am happy to be home. Here are a few photos of my week of paradise..
