Day 12 - What a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood!

i love where i work. you want to know why. yea i love helping people, making there day a bit better is a great feeling and i love it and I've always worked with the best people who i could come to call friends, like that's pretty awesome,  but what takes the cupcake(mini cake) are the variety of people we get to interact with.

you never get a repeat. each person is different and that makes the whole thing more interesting. now of course you're gonna get people that you don't like or give you a bad experience, but that's just part of the job.

an other thing i love about it is the entrails of a conversation that you hear as people walk by. i swear some  of the things I've heard are so weird and sometimes groady. yes i just used groady, deal with it.

and don't even get me started with the things I've seen. of course we specialize in students and fresh new batches of freshmen are the most entertaining people to watch. add a sprinkle of alcohol and BAM you got yourself quiet a show.

ill tell you one instance, but not of a student cause yea, I DO WHAT I WANT!! this one guy would stop by every time i worked and come up and say hi. he then would proceed to tell me the most random information ever. he was an older gentlemen but out of no where we would be having a one way conversation from the faults in the government to area 51. i have heard some shiznit. he would always end the conversation with you didn't hear it from me.

these are some of the reason why i love my job, but you didn't hear that from me ;)

Day 11 - cheetahlicious

SO i kinda fell a sleep yesterday and forgot to upload it and i was so proud because i had it all done and ready to go and then, of course me being me, i forget.

anyways. so yesterday i watched a bunch of Disney movies, cause you know that has to happen ever now and then. so anyways, i watched some princess movies and then i watched Mulan, which technically she isn't a princess or ever turns into a princess. and that's not a bad thing, by far one of the better portrayals for young children for sure.

Mulan was from a average family, she sacrificed her life basically to save her dad and she, with only little help defeated the villain and his army. then in the second one, she not only becomes the first female advisor for the emperor and is tasked with guarding actual princess, she also looses the love of her life, temporarily, and again sacrifices her own life to give the princess a better chance. TO, by the way, live like she does, as a normal everyday person. did i get to intense there. cant help love that gurl. WITH A CAPITAL U!

then of course i had to end the night with Cheetah Girls. duh! it was on netflix how could i resist. i mean Raven Symoné, any time any day, i am on it. as a matter of fact, as i am writing this i am singing Cinderella and wanting really badly to watch it again. I'm not gonna sugar coat it the sequels were not as good but the first one was the best, the Disney equivalent to mean girls in my eyes.

and then i realized that these two movies go together very well and so i drew something from both of them for the hell of it. why not!

Day 10 - Unfortunate Human Emotion.

so everybody knows what anticipation is. that emotion we all display when we are eagerly waiting for something, anything really.

well personally i think its probably the most unfortunate emotion that human beings are stuck with. don't get me wrong there are worst emotions for sure. but those don't stand par when it comes to how easily anticipation can mess you up.

you see with anticipation, our mind likes to play a little game. can you guess what that game is. No. well let me tell you. the name of the game is infinite possibilities. our brain or even us decides that, while we eagerly wait for whatever it is that we are waiting for, it should run scenarios of how it could all go. good and bad.

of course we being human are easily susceptible, so we right away run to the extremes of each end. but not before we have exhaustively gone over all the median scenarios and run through our reaction and action plan for them.

whether it so for a simple a thing as anticipating a new TV show. which by the way is the worst or the best. because you either think its going to be awesome and it will most of the time never meet up or you think its going to be terrible and its amazing, in that case, hey, you got the lucky end of the straw.

anticipation, though, really plays a toll on you when it comes to real life decisions/ situations. i guess, yea, its a part of everyday life. i would just be able to enjoy it better if i wasn't having a panic attack every 5 seconds because of something. Oh! and anticipation doesn't differentiate between past, present or future. its gonna get you, whether it was for something 2 years ago, today or next week.

don't let the face in the picture fool you, hes at one of the peak points..right now! LOL. just remember to keep a paper bag close ;)

Day 09 - Brain, Brain. Where for art thou taking me?

i don't know what it is. maybe its the fort from yesterday that stirred up some memories or some of the stuff i watched on netflix the other day. but i miss someone. you know that feeling you get when you haven't seen in a while and then all you can think about are things that you did together and just old memories. well, my stupid brain has decided to bring those up for some unknown reason. i would really like it to stop, because i have no plans of going into a mopey spiral.

one person i really miss is my family. usually i would go see them on holidays and stuff, but this year i was so busy throughout everything that i didn't really get a chance to see them and i kinda miss them. i know the moment that i go see them I'm gonna be like "K, bye" but till then, i don't kn ow its weird I'm being weird. then also i haven't really been hanging out with the peeps and i kinda miss that from last year.

maybe I'm just missing human interaction that isn't sprouted at work. i really need to get off campus i think if i stay on campus any longer i might just go crazy.

i miss movie nights with my "neighbor" (you know who you are). just hanging out and talking and gossiping and eating take out, THE BEST! come back soon so we can do it again.

i feel like people are drifting away. i guess that's inevitable though, eh. people come and people go. obviously we keep in touch, but we don't. you know what i mean.

anyways, lets try to be happy and not end this on a uber depressing not :D

Day 08 - Day OFF!

so Saturday was my day off, but i was so messed up from the two night shifts before that i just became Gollum and stayed in my bedroom cave.

that was fine for maybe the first couple of hours, i had to catch up on shows anyways. which reminds me. anyone watch vampire diaries. OMG they just damn, like what, i cant even still now its just...i don't even know.

but anyways yea so that ended and then i took a little nap and when i woke up, I'm pretty sure a kid was possessing me, because i woke up with an undeniable urge to build a fort with pillows and stuff, you all know how they are made. so i did exactly that. i had limited resources but damn it was a good fort and i had it hooked up to the window so the breeze would keep it cool and i chilled inside.

I'm not gonna lie, it was actually the best thing ever, i felt like a little kid and it was awesome. i just stayed in my fort and had a good time, watched some movies and re-watched some TV shows.

i don't know why they don't, but the totally cater bed forts for adults and not just kids.

I'll make it happen one day.
till tomorrow,

Day 07 - Virginity ;)

Don't let the title fool you, its not what you all are probably thinking.

So on Friday i found out that one of my favorite artist is finally going to be in Ottawa, while I'm here. and she is Katy Perry. who better to take my concert virginity, than Katy Perry.

I've always wanted to go to a concert, but no one that i liked was ever free or here when i was and boy was that frustrating.

i didn't want to go to small venues or like little gigs etc. i wanted my first time to be big and spectacular. i wanted to do it right, and have the whole grand experience.

so me and my friend, who will also be a first timer, decided "what the hell, why not!". we might as well and who knows when the next right person will come around.

So now the date is marked and tickets are bought. so everything in that area is done and done. we got seat right behind the pit on the ground level so its gonna be AWESOME!!! now all that i want to do is 1. listen to Katy Perry on repeat cause duh, you betta do yo homework! and 2. make t-shirts and other fun stuff to wear (which by the way i only hear about today, on Sunday i mean, or else i would have never known). thanks roomie or the heads up!

now i just gotta patiently wait for July to come by, it better be quick, other wise imma be sittin' here anxious and excited!

till tomorrow,

Day 06 - Night Owl

Sorry i haven't been updating the past couple of days. between getting my sleep scheduled worked out and actually working, its been a bit crazy.

anyways, so this is the drawing for Thursday, which was my first official night shift. I've worked them before so it wasn't bad and having someone there with me definitely made it easier.

but still it was a night shift and it was kind of a new experience. i always find that during those shifts my mind tends to ponder and drift off to weird but thought provoking and interesting places and subjects. maybe i should write them down and make a collection.

staying up at night isn't that hard for me, I've kinda become a night owl over the years and can usually stay up pretty late. but of course that doesn't really work in favor of my day scheduled. i don't feel like doing any chores that i should be doing during the day, because of the residual tiredness from the night.

then i also noticed that i only eat once a day when i would wake up or before work i guess. and no snacks of anything during the period I'm staying up. but then before bed i would get hungry, but instead of eating i would just fall asleep and the cycle would continue.

if anything, I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up dying from lack of sleep and bad eating habit.LOL. oh well, you gotta do what you gotta do.

till tomorrow,

Day 05 - Sluggish!

What a day. do you want to know?

well here's the exclusive. i have been so worried about switching my sleep scheduled to accommodate my work shits that i have literally wasted the day away in bed since i got up, which by the way or some unknown reason was 7 freakin' AM. and obviously i couldn't go back to sleep so i had to stay up. 

it's just been one of those sluggish days where there is so much i could be doing but or some reason my body doesn't seem to get that and refuses to do anything. 

now, of course i didn't stay in bed all day, that would lead to back pain and the "stuffy feeling" you get after being in bed all day, but i did kinda isolate most o my day to within my suite. 

i feel bad about that, of course i do. it just felt like thee should be something i should have been doing. i actually had this conversation with my co-workers yesterday; i don't what it is, whether its being at school still during summer or what, but it feels like I'm procrastinating. like there is some secret school work that i have forgotten about and the deadline is coming up. 

whatever it is i don't like it. its making me eel uneasy, during summertime. lovely summertime that is slowly but surely taking full effect. 

now i hae to stay up all night tonight, well for the majority of it anyways.so i at least have a standing chance o working properly tomorrow night :/

i'll leave y'all with a  poem:

I feel like a slug. 

No, not in the ways of a pretty bug. 

In the ways that make us shrug.

Maybe be I need to debug. 

Reboot and restart.

Fix my heart, 

act smart,

do the part,

and restart.

I feel like a slug.

No, not in the ways of a pretty bug.

Maybe I just need a bear hug.
;)

Till Tomorrow,

Day 04 - Butterflies

"THE BUTTERFLIES THAT COME WITH NEW THINGS"

Why is it that new things gives us the bizarre feeling in our stomachs. the fear of the unexpected is so strong that it causes a physical and mentally reaction. i guess you could trace that back to our primal instinct, survive or die.

and while we are on the topic, where does the saying "butterflies in my stomach" come from, be right back, imma google it :p. little luck there. i guess someone said it and it caught on. could you imagine, if the first person to say it actually ate butterflies and then proceeded to inform others that he had butterflies in his stomach. or maybe it was a code phrase used by governments to awaken sleepers, cause who would go around, back then, casually saying that.

the English language amazes me sometime, and not just English. all language is a mark of humanities potential. of what we are capable of doing. good work ancestors, you paved the way for greatness.

anyways, got off track there a bit, so why is it that the feeling of doing something new, as simple as leaving home for university, starting a new job or in my case: getting a haircut, looking up at the sky-night or day,  buying something of value, presenting, interacting, even hanging out with friends (i got too many butterflies in my stomach, its a conservatory) cause us to get this feeling of unease. the body rejects anything that it doesn't know, to protect us and itself from harm and i guess we have evolution to thank for that, but we can also blame evolution for taking some of our "run before we walk" away. that didn't make any sense.  oh well!

Day 03 - Coding Angles

Today was a computer day, training took place in front of a computer, got back home to a computer. it seems that we live out most of our days through some sort of LED/LCD screens; whether it be your computer, your TV, your tablet or your cellphone.

Kinda makes you wonder what the future will be like. will we live in windowless apartment or houses. will digital displays shows us projections of the outside world.

I don't think i am ready for a future like that. to live and be born in front of screens to dying in front of screens, seems to make it all really pointless.

And then i thought; i wonder, does the great "After" keep upgrading to match the changing physical world. if so, are there poor angles sitting in cubicles on office chairs, not the good kind either, the cheap worker class kind, in front of giant screens. just forever coding away, fixing things that go wrong or creating new code. they some how have become the "Afters" IT crew.

I feel bad for angles, if that is actually how they have ended up, because we choose to advance, so must they. imagine, if this idea is for some or whatever reason true, what angles must have looked like or what they would have been doing in the old old days. riding angelic horses like cowboys, wearing armor like the Romans or been in their true states during the cavemen.

I've just now realized that this post is beyond weird and i, myself, have lost all concept of what i was trying to say. so i think this is a pretty good point to end on, seeing as i don't think nor do i wish to continue with this bizarre topic.

Till tomorrow.

P.S. leave comments for drawing ideas and i might incorporate them into the next post!

Day 02 - What the Rain brings...

I had this thought a while back and its been raining here non-stop, so it came rushing back. What the Rain brings. Of course we all know what the rain triditioanlly brings, but waht if it brings more, waht if it is more.

Stay with me now.

What if the rain is actually souls falling from heaven or wherever we go after we die. What if the rain is is a one way ticket for souls to visit the ones they left behind on earth. Of course its not forever. until the rain stops.

Like Cinderella, they have til midnight to visit the palace, see the people the love, see how they are doing. But once the clock stirkes twelve, the maigc wears off and they have to return to where they came from and look forward to the next rain fall or to be eternally reunited with their loved ones.

So the next time, you feel a tingle during the rain. Don't be so quick so quick to shrugge it off, it could be someone trying to get in contact with with (spooky, eh!)

Hoping the ones we've all lost are in a better place,

till tommarow,

Day 01- Slippery Escape

It turned out OK, but i could have done more, I think!

Today was quiet the uneventful day, which is probably what drove me to make this blog. Like Sir Burglarton Von Snake, I guess I need to escape reality and this boredom somehow and what better way to do then to draw and write.

It's been really quiet here. no one is around. I am trapped here until I get my bus pass and then i can go wander out into the abyss :).

Hopefully the days to come bring more excitement and lead to better ideas for drawings.

Keep those pens and pencils close by, cause ideas can strike out of nowhere. Cheesy :P

Till Tomorrow,
