Tomorrow is the DAY!!!
I can't wait to have her back, long distance can kill relationships but in our case its made it so much better. Well i would love to keep typing but i got to go to bed so fast forward time!
The Table is Finished!
I had a discussion with my dad about what good architectural design is. He was planted on the design being super functional and overall easy to build. I thought differently. Would art really be art if it were 'easy' to create? Easily understandable? My view of design and architecture in specific revolve around the ingenuity and uniqueness of a building. Something that would make you look twice, three times, and four. Something baffling at first, but after examination it would lead in a path that was truly your own. I don't think architecture can be described only as the design of building but as using art to create that building. Its an art, not a blueprint.

So the Table, ALMOST THERE!!!
Friday, November 12, 2010

The table in all essences will use all the strategies of good design to produce a work that isfunctional, and beautiful. I'm rather inclined to use wood. My dad has taught me a great deal of great wood finishing, and having all the tools to complete i feel this would be my stronghold. I also believe that wood is a beautiful source to use in design. It's natural, warm; it has character, texture. And it connects on a prime evil level with the viewer. A combination of base materials, such as metal, glass, and wood would best fit the kind of design i want to portray.

I freakin love longboarding....
I have really started to get good at this. Longboarding down the street to work is what wakes me up in the morning. Literally I will prop my head up look the crack between the shades and the window and if I see a nice bright light you know its on! This video is of just half of my journey but I'm going to try again tomorrow to get some better footage of my ride to work!
Just take a look into how many people I annoy in this one, just another day in the life of Andrew haha!
The Scare......

I've learnt two things from this. Don't go away. It has killed me being in England whilst big and major events happen back home. My auntie died, another had a stroke, a good and long friend died, Owen's 2nd birthday (haven't been to one yet: ENGLAND!), birth of Lillian, and finally my mom's scare. I've lived the life over in England but i need to go home. I need to see my family, tackle my dogs, NOT USE PUBLIC TRANSPORT!!
But the most important is to take care of myself. That's not just my body but other people in which are deeply rooted within me. My parents, my sisters, nephew, niece. I have a mission to keep this people in the utmost care. Starting when I get home the exercise regiment will start, the constant vigilance over ones health will start.
So to all of you out there chowing down on the sweets and stuff. YOU CAN but make sure that extra bit gets worked off later!

Dream Land...

After seeing the movie inception it gave my mind a jolt. I have had these thoughts before but never had I had something so well placed, so well designed to illustrate my thoughts. I'm sure every one of us have had these thoughts and doubts if we truly are in the 'real' world. Inception was a breath taking experience in to the power of the human mind and what it is capable of. The explanation or in fact the manipulation of dreams and thoughts was not groundbreaking but relative and easy to understand. Thoughts and idea's being directly affected by your dreams, and visa versa. Because we all know if we have a stressful day it will play out into a dream we may have.
It's curios to think of what this life really is. Some say religion, others say nothing, but rarely do we hear that this life is not life at all. How scary would it be to finally wake up right now, realizing all of this was a dream. The human mind is wondrous and frightening all at the same time...

Racism....

Racism has been a big discussion for quite sometime. For example, it is actually racist to believe that the white population of the US is going to become extinct and whites have to fight back? I think so, let nature take its course, skin colour has nothing ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with anything any more. The only people who actually care about the skin colour of a person are those who a under educated, unworldly, and ignorant in all things.
But this leads me to another question. Is it really racist to say such comments as the man above. I thought about this more when i got home and really asked my self if it was actually racist. I don't Canadians are a race but more so the man was ultimately rude, and uninviting.
Being for a country in which multiculturalism is HIGHLY and WIDELY accepted it was hard to take. I'm still not yet rounded on the all the words but I think i better word for it would be that the man was being over nationalistic. Meh, i think the next time someone is about to buy something from me and completely insult the land i call home, they won't be wearing those DuBarry's that day!

The Black Keys


The Black Keys have been around for about 10 years now, and for what reason i have never heard of them is a complete mystery. A soulful mix of blues and rock the Black Keys hit that uber rung of old school mixed with some new school tweaks. When i first listened to these guys i got that chill that usually get when I've found music that really does hit home with it lyrics and sound personally. I live a very chilled life, and like to live my life day to day by that motto.
This I could say is a very fitting soundtrack to my life.
The Black Keys were first introduced to me by a guy who came into Gul two days ago. We just got to talking about what music we liked at the moment. I said the southerner Lissie and he said the The Black Keys. I thought i was just going to be some little band no-one has heard of but after checking them out when i got home they are absolutely massive! The have a second band set up where they do collaborations with rap artists and that too, sound wicked!
So later on today I'm going to find they're tour schedule and see hats going on. Hopefully they'll either be coming to Winnipeg sometime soon, or somewhere close!

Lissie Catching a Tiger

I literally found Lissie online on YouTube. She did a cover of Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. Instantly i became curious because i could hear something different about this girl. After listening to here newest single 'When I'm Alone' i became hooked. I don't know hcow many times i listened to that song that week but it must of been in the 30's.
Lissie brings something to the table that I've been waiting for a long time. Something new, something different but entirely perfect. Her high feminine notes are matched with masculine low notes which gives her a very unique and tuned voice.
On top of that she brings a bluegrass, rock and roll sound to the mix. A very old sound but introduced with a fresh set of lungs that really can belt it out. All in all she is a wonderful artist and has amazing sound, bringing it back to old school.
Lissie's "When I'm Alone" can be found on YouTube
I'm just glad we have a artist in this world that understands something must be done about these cookie cutter pop artists that release a new single every week only because they're sound isn't timeless but is for the moment. All props to Lissie and returning us to good music.
Cheers!

England Football

England just got knocked out of the world cup after a trifling game with Germany. 4-1 for Germany. Which in all respects really should have been 4-2 since there was a 'disallowed' goal which through the power of technology was proven to be a goal, but in my knowledge a ref has last say. Any who that's not the point I was going after.
One of the biggest thing England is known for in the Fifa is there pure patriotism during the games. England flags sail from every car, from every home, and are splattered across every pub. But in contrast they are known for their devastating blame and hatred towards the players and coaches.
Early in the games England drew against America in an upsetting goal let in by the England goalie. It simply slipped out of his hands. That goalie already has insults named after him, and he will be lucky to see the light of day in the premiership again. So harsh! And of course the coach has to go as well haha.
In any term I'm not going to condemn them too much because Canada hasn't been in Fifa for over 15 years now! I just don't think we invest enough really. Meh we'll stick too our ice and hockey sticks I guess!

I'M ON A BOAT MUTHA F&$KA!

AHH had an amazing weekend! It was Tamasine's birthday so we rented a boat and went cruising around! We were totally expecting kind of a shitty little boat but it turned out to be really nice! So many epic things happened lol.
We needed to have lunch but also wanted to swim so we found a green buoy and moored to it, only finding out later we could have had a huge fine for doing so haha. Amateur hour!
We did find a spot to swim later but it took us like 15 minutes to actually drop the anchor in! The swimming session didn't last long, the water is still freaking cold!
All in all the boat trip was brilliant and would do again instantly.
Got home then made up a bbq and cooked the night away! Oh but then went and had Corona's down at the Gyllyng beach cafe. Man we sound so summery! I love living in Falmouth at the moment!

Conspriracy Theories

After about 10 minutes of watching the ridiculous intro to the movie i stopped watching it as I felt a little to insulted at the words being said. This lead me to believe this was another one of those movies with a chip on its shoulder against Christianity and more so religion itself.
But after hearing the movie actively disclaims that the attacks on the WTC was not of terrorist but of the government of the United States of America. I almost became sick. It is in fact a dark idea of to think of but more so a dark idea to create!
It set me aback. To think someone can really look at the people jumping out of the towers, mothers, fathers, daughters, sons, parents, loved ones broken by their and turn right around and start making fake stories to bring down the US government. Now don't get me wrong there is many things wrong with the US governments but i truly believe the killing of 5000 innocent people would be conducted.
The thought that it could be is the more disgusting part. That someone actually created this conspiracy. The claims made in the film have time and time again been debunked, and we are left with a sad mess that merely spits on the graves of those who died in the wreckage and who died saving those within it.
All in all i feel saddened that the human race can do such destructive things to each other. In the physical realm but also the mental realm. The picture above depicts the victims of 9/11, surprising when you look at it that way.
