Instagram Photography! (iphone photography)

These photos are ALL taken on my dad's iPhone (3gs)! Just to prove that the type of camera you have isn't important in having a vision! ( I know they look vintage, but isn't that what instagram is for?)

Follow me on instagram (for a mix of these photos and other non vintage photos)!:

Creation, blank spaces, and imaginary friends of the sleep deprived mind

So this is some writing that one of my best friends did. Her name is Sanam, and this got into the school magazine. It is truly amazing, with her permission I want to share it with you guys. I just love the style of writing, its just amazing from the point of view that she is writing from. Here it is!

Enjoy! 

:

It won’t go away. That stupid buzz in my head. That annoying critter that tickles my brain. That…that hole in my mind. No, I don’t think sleeping will help. Sleep is a waste of time.

WHY CAN’T I THINK OF ANYTHING, DAMNIT?! (Sorry, got all street there).

My mind is completely blank and clueless. A dull light looking for somewhere dark to illuminate. Why won’t my light bulb go off? No, I don’t need sleep, I told you that already! What I need is a stroke of inspiration, that colorful bomb, that… creativity. Can you think of anything? I know, it’s hard. That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you .Here, make yourself useful, and sharpen these pencils. I’m going to need them when I finally think of something.

My mind won’t stop that buzz! It’s getting louder. It’s like a boring straight line, because it’s not going anywhere but straight. Why is everything so dull and gray? I’m so sleepy… no, I don’t want a pillow. Wait…

BA-BAM.

Scratch scratch scratch goes my pen. My mind is imploding. Lights, colors, pictures, words, ideas, inventions, thoughts, sounds, EVERYTHING I WAS WAITING FOR. 

Creation. I’m dizzy with so much creation.

(Isn’t it funny what seems to go on when I think? I think words but I seem to think of them before I think of them. Such a complicated thing to explain. That doesn’t make sense, you say? Well guess what? I don’t give a frying pan.)

My letters flow into words, my words to sentences, my sentences to paragraphs, to pages, to a book… to a master piece. Yeah, that’s what I said… don’t question it.

I wish people understood I’m not weird. I’m not odd. I’m different, and I want to make it known, so I do whatever I want. No, that does not make me impulsive. More like… yeah, I’m impulsive. Chuckle.

I make the page different by… creating. I make the blank space another beautiful space. Another thing to add to that star that is collapsing under its own mass. Yes, I am talking about black holes. No, you stop being so scientific!

I will be. Different, I mean. Definitely. What? Naw, just thinking to myself.

Creating.

I say that a lot, don’t I? You think so? Doesn’t matter. Repetition isn’t important. As long as it counts.

I’m not making sense, am I? You don’t care? Well.

Anyway, will you help me? Take a seat. Pull up a chair. Grab a cuppa java. Some biscuits too, while you’re at it. The strawberry ones, if you please. Yes, those.

Thank you. Yum. That’s better.

So what do you think of this? Is it nice? Is it different? Oh… so that’s how you spell acquiesce.

Thank you once again, imaginary friend. Yes, I will sleep now.

See you tomorrow.

“I wish every day could be Halloween. We could all wear masks all the time. Then we could walk around and get to know each other before we got to see what we looked like under the masks.”

Happy Late Halloween!

Chatroom

So..... I am so utterly disturbed and dazzled by this movie. After it was recommended to me in my film class I just watched it. Without knowing the plot, without knowing anything besides the fact that it was shot with people actually talking in a room, like it is a chat.

Midway through the movie, I was so disturbed but I couldn't stop watching. The plot was like a magnet and the characters were each so well developed with their own issues. The acting in this movie is crazy good and is so convincing its scary.

The thing that makes this movie horrifying is how real it is. With this technology its so easy to manipulate people making them think your someone that you are someone that you aren't and making them scared, or happy or believe you.

This movie was brilliant. But in the worst ways.

I knew you were trouble!

Been listening to this on on repeat- such a great song! Would recommend it for Taylor Swift fans and people who like upbeat, energetic songs!

Long time no blog!

Long time no blog!

I haven't blogged in a while, so I thought I would begin with an update! (The starbucks entry was old, but I posted it late).

Anyway, this week and last week and the week before that has been super duper busy! As you probably know, i'm in high school now and I am in a film program so basicially I am taking 5 classes a day, with one of my classes taking away half of my lunch. I am also non-semestered, which can get a little bit insane. But I love high school because of several reasons:

- We are aloud to listen to music during work in a lot of our classes
- There are SO MANY CLUBS! Like so many for everything you want
- It seems to go a lot faster because there are only 5 classes
- Different Classes with different people
- ARTS!!!! I love studying film!!


But its been pretty intense with a lot of tests and projects. This week we worked on a animation with people and objects. Its pretty cool, but a lot of work!

Anyway, just thought I would update! Have a happy thanksgiving!

Mocha Cookie Crumble Review!!!

If you have ever been to Starbucks you probably know that you can't get out of there without spending 5 bucks or more on just a drink. Why? Well according to the ads its fairtrade and the best ingredients possible. Personally when I am walking around with a Starbucks drink, I feel embarrassed because of how much I spent on it. But I do love starbucks nevertheless.

The Mocha Cookie Crumble came out a long while ago, but I thought I would do a little review for it. It is a drink that they serve that is chocolately, mocha, and tastes like cookies. It also has chocolate whip cream on the top. Be warned: They don't put on nearly as much whip cream as the ads say.

I would reccommend this for chocolate lovers, but I would say that it is very sweet and not to have before you go to sleep!

Owl City Toronto Concert 2012

As you probably know, I am sort of in love with Owl City (Adam Young), on Saturday I went to one of his concerts (my second one!) and I loved it!!! This time the opening band was Action Item and they were totally amazing and they rocked the stage! I wish I would've gotten their autograph at the end but the line was so long!!! I went to the concert with photogirl1919 and we had a blast! I actually remembered to bring a camera this time, so I thought I would share my grainy concert shots with you, just cause!!!

If you haven't seen Owl City in concert, I would recommend it. He turns all his songs into rock songs and completely rocks out and engages the audience!

The Words

"The Words" was a movie I was waiting so long to see. The whole idea of what was happening with Bradley Coopers character and what he was going through fascinated me. So the day it came out, I saw it.

The movie is about a man who is trying to be a writer, after countless rejections from publishing companies, he doesn't know what to do with himself. After, he stumbles across a manuscript, by an unknown writer. Soon enough those words, the words of someone else, become his own. Before he knows it they are spiralling out of control and he goes into a deep mess he can't get out of.

I liked this movie, a lot of people say it was slow. Yes, it was a bit slow. But I was impressed. I really liked the cinematography and it showed interesting angles, I also loved the plot. I loved the fact that the plot interwinds, by saying that I mean the story that he stole and his life begin to interwind with one another. I find this fascinating. I also loved the script and character development.

Bradley Cooper and Zoe Saldana did an excellent job in this movie. I really loved Olivia Wilde and Dennis Quad and Jeremy Irons.

Overall I would recommend this movie. It suited by expectations and it was well worth the long wait! A-

Summers almost over and its freaking me out.

Gosh, it seems like the last day of school. The crazy, exciting day was just maybe a day ago... Its funny now that in less than a week we will be back to school. School. Yeah, its hard to absorb. I heard a lot of people say that they made a mess out of their summers, but lying around all day, watching TV and facebooking all day long. Well, this summer I was jumping on the trampoline, swimming and instagramming all day long so I suppose that my summer was pretty good. I did what I love to do, I took loads of photos, I went to camp and lastly I met Roberta Bondar!

But now its the weekend, last Sunday of the summer vacation and it its kinda sad. Its just that I'm starting HIGH SCHOOL and I don't know what to expect. At least I met some really nice people who go to my school!

This was just a quick update, so happy labor day and have a great whats left of summer!!! :)
