The fall of Think-x

think-x.info (T H I N K - X) — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 14:19:23 -0500

Oh, how the pessimism rings through the hills. Chiming away, announcing the fall of Think-x. Once a strong competitor in the resource/blog world, now just another corner to the web. Derelict. Unloved.

Lindsay and I not only have lost interest in the site, but seem to have lost pure talent. I open Paint Shop and produce a measly blend—my knowledge and raw passion for design has evaporated. Where or where have you gone? Not only that, but our blogs are in serious decline. We used to garnish 30+ comments, now, a mere 3 or 4. Is graphic design dead? Or is it just Think-x?

You may notice the breasts. The bust of think-x. Our new logo, per say. You see, dear reader, Lindsay’s precious kitten is named Boobiss. This hilarious name sparked a nickname for us—boobs. We rarely direct each other by name. Usually “boob” “boooooob” “boobeh” “boobayyyyyyyy!!!!”. The “vector” however, did little to provoke any more enthusiasm towards the site.

I asked “boob. what we gon’ do with the site? its on a serious decline” to which Lindsay replied “I aint got no idea boob”.

The site, the graphics, the lack of affiliates and passion has drained us—think-x is no more. OH THAT BLOODY NAME. THINK-X?! -X?! Is this a piczo website or a business? a portfolio of hard word? “-x”—fuck you.

I hate to leave on a sour note. But goodbye. Forever? Who knows? We may come back next week—new layout and all. Doubtful, I feel. Now I’ll sip my tea and flick the V—goodbye graphics. Who needs you anyway? Graphic design is dead.

Personal Peacesasdsadasdsa

think-x.info (T H I N K - X) — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 22:44:00 -0500

We all belong in a place of peace. Not peace as in a peace sign. Not peace as in a white dove. Peace as in our own personal peace; where we feel the happiest as possible. Because really, peace is only what you make it. And though that is something close to what you probably hear everyday: ‘life is what you make it’, it truly is exactly what you make it to be.
I have stopped believing in religion. I have stopped believing in what the tv’s and magazines have to tell me; And most importantly, I have stopped believing in others, to believe in myself.
One day, I was sitting on my bed listening to some sort of crazy music. Something from the late 60’s with crazy sound effects, beautiful guitar and vocals. I was staring at my ceiling, not really thinking anything, and then for no apparent reason, I just smiled. And it wasn’t just a ‘oh it’s a beautiful day’ smile. This smile was like no other smile I have ever smiled before. It was just a brand new thing. And with this smile, came along a different world it seemed. There is honestly no way of explaining what I felt at that moment, because it was my own. No one else will ever be able to experience what I experienced because I created it myself. And though I can say that the music partially was one of the main reasons that brought me there.. I can for sure say that the music did not create the beautiful imagery that I witnessed. No, I was not under the influence of any sort of drug. I was just, realizing my true place with peace. And for that short, but well lived moment, I kind of just started to understand myself. I’ve said that so many times, “Oh, this really made me understand who I am”, “Yeah, now I truly do understand my purpose..”, etc. But this.. this really, really made me see what I kind of like about life. I mean, I could go on forever about so many negative things, but it seems as if this really just opened my eyes even more to a positive and happy world.

Ever since then, I find it very easy to go back to that place. I don’t need the music, and I don’t need anyone else but myself. I truly wish that I could explain further, but I honestly can’t. And that is why I’ve added these pictures. Maybe they will inspire you to discover your own personal peace.
“Not only can you find yourself through the interpretations that you make for yourself, but you can find yourself deeply through the movements of your soul. There is no way to instruct you, for it is something you must figure out on your own. So I leave you today with the seaming-less wonder of your own body, your own insides, and your own mind.” -Unknown
I have no idea who wrote that quote. I think my alter-ego did. Either way, I’m in love with it and it totally describes everything I’ve written above.
So now, I leave you with this simple question: Have you ever found your own Personal Peace?
Thanks for reading mates!
Lindsay

Afterlife

think-x.info (T H I N K - X) — Thu, 18 Aug 2011 11:03:46 -0500

The afterlife. A question which we all brush upon from time to time. Where do we go? Is it all blackness, or is there some heaven to look forward to? I’m not a religious fella, but I definitely like to debate and question the main religious groups theories on the afterlife. I don’t think any of us are 100% certain on where we will end up, not even the most religious of us. I think we all sooner or later doubt ourselves and wonder “what else could happen?”

In my opinion—there is a god. Although, not a god, more of a creator. I think the authors of the bible put it together as a way of gaining power. I think they believed that if they convinced people there was some sort of God, they would be seen as these powerful, intelligent men. I know I’ve just offended about every Christian reading, but its truly what I believe. I think—as humans—our brains are not capable of imagining the afterlife, or what form God comes in. We cannot access/use some parts of our brain, my thinking is that we only access these parts when we die. We see new colours, we see new shapes. Thats what God is. God is something unimaginable, unthinkable, indescribable. If “God” does exist, he wouldn’t give us the power to see him. To know fully what/who he is. I say he.. It could be a she. Or a thing.

I don’t like the idea of infinite blackness. That we die and are subject to a life—or rather, death—of black. Nothingness. However, it does have some truth. Can we really assume that humans are so special? That we are the only life form in this universe? I think heaven is a silly idea. Everything out THERE must die.. and the idea of heaven just seems so insignificant when we think of the bigger picture. If we go to heaven, where do the rest of the lifeforms out there go.. I’m probably really unclear and I’m babbling a bit.. I hope you understand my gibberish.

When we die… I see myself leaving the Earth. Floating into space.. Touching the nebula’s and stars.. Then I hear a voice. Explaining to me where I am and where I will go. I think death opens the door to new life. I think we travel the universe when we die. We spend forever floating around not only the milky way, but other galaxies too. Spending the rest of our deaths seeing everything and every life. It seems beautiful.. and it wouldn’t be boring either. We’d all love to travel a bit, eh!

Reincarnation I suppose also appeals to me. Being born over and over and over again. Although, I’d prefer to just stay human. A never ending cycle of my soul, in a new body. I like that idea. We’d see everything. We’d see how the Earth evolves and adapts—we just wouldn’t… realize?

I guess thats all I can think of right now.. I hope you enjoyed my ideologies and that I helped widen your approach to the afterlife and helped you think new things. It’s a beautiful thing, education. I like it a lot.

From Greg.

p.s. I guess we’re back. It was a last minute frenzy to gather up SOME form of layout. I’m not 100% happy, but I never am. We’re just a simple blog now. No resource shit. GRAPHIC DESIGN IS DEAD.

What it took me to realize:nobody cares about you.

think-x.info (T H I N K - X) — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 14:05:25 -0500

Though I am young, I can still say ‘for many years’; and for many years, I was focusing on impressing others. That was basically what my life was about. Everything I did, I thought ‘Oh, what is everyone going to think about this?’ And for at least five years, this is how I lived my everyday life. It took me the longest time to realize that that is not how you live. That is not how you go about things, and it really had to change. So, I started reading up about the Hippy lifestyle, and that really opened my eyes to being free. Though what I had been wearing for the last year was kind of hippy-like, I definitely was not a hippy. And I still can’t say I am, because I really don’t have the free spirit that a beautiful hippy does; and not only that, but I’m totally not into labels. I mean, never do I want to call myself a hippy or anything else of the sort. I just want to live my life as myself, and not have some label dangling off of me like a tail.

Nobody cares about you. I say that to myself everyday. Sounds ridiculous, doesn’t it? Now wait, before you (maybe some of you.. not all. lol) go jumping any guns, I don’t say this to myself because I have low self esteem. I don’t say this to myself because I feel nobody loves me. I say this because for the people who have no idea who I am, they are not looking at me saying ‘What the hell is she wearing?’ They are not looking at me and saying ‘Wow, she is so awful’. They don’t know me, so why would they care about me? And this is where I gained my non-judgmental view on life. It’s not about what others think, it’s about what you think, and what you think really doesn’t matter to anyone else but yourself.

And this is how I came to truly understand myself. It was hard, and it really did take me a while, but once you’ve got it.. There’s no way of letting it go.

Another aspect of the ‘nobody cares about you’ philosophy is a non-judgmental lifestyle. I mentioned it above, but I didn’t exactly go in depth with it. Basically what it is, is not judging others. Simple. I know my whole life so far (minus the last month), I have always judged people. When I walked down the street and saw someone wearing something I didn’t like, I thought to myself ‘how ugly’. But really, is there a need to do that? First of all, what are you gaining from judging that person? And second of all, maybe they are happy. So by not judging people, you are no longer wasting your time and overall, you should be a little bit more happy because you are eliminating negativity.

My whole realization was a pretty basic one, and I’m kind of upset that it took me so long to get it. But now that I’ve got it, I am truly happy with myself. I was really lucky to realize all of this so early on in life, because really.. it holds you back from so much.

The Edge of Glory

think-x.info (T H I N K - X) — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 10:19:55 -0500

Everybody wants something. There is no human that is completely satisfied with what they’ve got. There is always that one cd you need to buy, or that eye shadow you are dying to try out. As humans, we just thrive for more. Why exactly is this human nature? Well, our bodies always need to have water, and we always need to eat something to live, so really there is no way around it. Not that eating and drinking has anything to do with that cd you need to buy, but that’s what brings us into the materialistic part of needing, wanting, and getting.

In today’s world, there is really no way of getting around the materialistic brainwashing the media puts on us. We are constantly watching tv shows that tell kids “money makes you happy”, we constantly see commercials that are telling us to buy more more more, and we are also seeing celebrity’s selling things on billboards and even in their music videos. There is really no way to escape it, and what do we do? We go along with it. This is why I chose the title “The Edge Of Glory” along with the song (down below), and a picture of Lady GaGa at the CFDA Awards (Council of Fashion Designers of America Awards).

Lady GaGa is a prime example of this brainwashing thing. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m one of the biggest Little Monsters around, but I’m not completely oblivious to the empire that is Lady GaGa. In almost every single one of her music videos, there is some kind of advertising scheme. i.e. in the ‘Telephone’ video, virgin mobile, chanel, and even miracle whip was advertised. Not saying that a bunch of kids are gonna go out and start buying miracle whip just because Lady GaGa used it, but I think my point was made. There is always some reason for more, and because of this We are always on The Edge Of Glory. And though I can say that this song really has nothing to do with constantly wanting more, I think the title fits quite well.

So what exactly is there to say about this? Though it would be amazing if humans could stop wasting so much time and money on more more more, will this ever happen? Will the evolution of time just keep the ball rolling and eventually throw us into a pit of realization? Or will it just continue on forever, and one day we will see cellphones advertised on our bedroom walls and on our windows?

What do you think?

Hello, it's me the Mistress

think-x.info (T H I N K - X) — Thu, 28 Apr 2011 18:12:02 -0500

The web Mistress that is. LOL, I had to get my corny-ness in somewheres! Anyways, this is a song by a fellow Canadian named Amelia Curran. I saw her in concert the other month and I was like.. woah. She was opening for a band called City and Colour (who I was there to see, and I suggest you check out)… and I was like, Shit, this girl is great. You kind of have to have a certain taste in music to really like what she plays, cause shes not the greatest vocalist ever.. but she has a really interesting tone I find.

I have been procrastinating with everything in my life lately. Like actually, ever single aspect of life. Homework, friends, and not most importantly in reality, but in my head.. this god damn website! I used to answer every single comment the second it was posted.. now I just dread going to do it. It’s like a chore. I still haven’t answered comments from two blogs ago! I feel bad.. and if you are one of the people I’ve neglected.. sorry! After I write this I’m going to answer every single comment I’ve missed. ;)

Short bloggity blog.. but, I’ve got a new affiliate! Woo. I think I’m going to write that in my blog from now on.. cause they deserved to be known! Reece @ reecito.info. He has a lovely site!
Peace and love and white winged doves to ya,
Lindsay.

Happy Easter!

think-x.info (T H I N K - X) — Sat, 23 Apr 2011 15:31:27 -0500

My aunt told me the story from the bible about Easter. It kind of amazed me. I mean.. I’m no religious person. Really, I have no religion.. I just believe in a few things here and there; but I honestly find it so beautiful when I hear a story from another religion about holidays, etc. The world has so many theories and true stories.. I really don’t know what to believe anymore. But, either way.. it’s all still beautiful. So with that, Happy Easter everyone! God, I want turkey now.

Speaking of religion.. HAVE WE ALL HEARD JUDAS? A lot of people are actually offended by it.. I guess that would be Christian people. Of course I’m not, I think the song is quite good. But if you are offended by it, I’m asking you nicely to not go on in a MASSIVE rant in the comments.. please. There is nothing more annoying than that.. lol. But anyways.. Lady GaGa. What can we say about her? When she first came out, I just fucking hated her. I really really did. When I heard her music, I just thought it was the shittiest shit to ever shit on this planet. But then, I started to really study her. I noticed how kind of awesome she was, then I went to her concert. Now that was it. After living through the experience of a Lady GaGa concert, I was a changed person. I mean.. I know that sounds dramatic.. but the truth is, Lady GaGa is genius. A lot of people would disagree, but for god sakes.. she plays piano so well, and she can actually sing.. and her songs. Works of art. Yeah.. they are all kind of stupid pop songs, but I find that all of them have really interesting meanings, stories, etc. if you look into them a little deeper. Jesus, sorry for the Lady GaGa rant. hahah.. theres nothing else to really write about.

So whos your favourite artist?

Sex, Drugs, and Rock N' Roll

think-x.info (T H I N K - X) — Thu, 14 Apr 2011 18:10:56 -0500

This quote has become part of my life lately. Of course, minus the first two words.. my life has become a complete roller coaster of malakala. I don’t know what malakala is.. but lets just make it the word of craziness. I feel like I am stranded, stuck, trapped in my body. I know this is completely normal for my age.. but I want it to end. I feel like I can’t do anything because of my age. And this just bums the shit outa me. I guess all teens go through it, and my birthday is next month.. and then my next birthday I will be able to drive.. freedom of some sort? I guess I’m just tired of being a child. But we all have to go through it.. so I might as well make the best of it.

Now onto the drugs part of that quote.. I’m kind of obsessed with Courtney Love lately. (wow, that’s really rude and sad that I associated her with drugs..). My cousin turned me onto her band Hole. Which is weird, cause I’m really not that into punk music or anything.. but I really like her band. Then, I got myself into watching Courtney Love: Behind the Music.. and lord, what a cool person she is. She had a really tough life, and now shes doing so good! Completely clean and sober, and just lookin’ awesome! Heres her song called “Celebrity Skin”.

Oh! What do you think of this new layout? I haven’t made one in such a long time.. I just wanted to try something. Kat Von D is who’s featured in it. I think it’s nice. Not my favourite, but it’s definitely worth having up. Now I just have to go through the pain of Greg’s “constructive criticism”. Yay. My favourite part. lol. where is greg? To be honest, I haven’t talked to him in years. I don’t know where or what hes up to! I think hes really caught up in school work at the moment (which I am too!).. so we haven’t had a conversation in forever. I miss ma boob though! <3

To be a Musician

think-x.info (T H I N K - X) — Mon, 28 Mar 2011 14:18:56 -0500

To be a musician is a privilege. To be a musician is a walk through a wondrous field of beauty. To be a musician is to do some hard fucking work. But to be a musician is one of the most magical lifestyles in the world… and I’m not the only one to tell you that.

As long as I can remember, I have been singing. I started playing piano at the age of 8 (I took lessons, but I ended up quitting cause I hate people telling me what to do and what not to do.) and I picked up the guitar almost four years ago (I taught myself the basics, now I take lessons from someone who knows how I work). And let me tell you.. I know that there is nothing else I am able to do with my life. Does that sound weird? I’m assuming it does. Well, what I mean is… for me, there is no other route than to be a musician for the rest of my life. Playing shows, writing, continuous learning… there is just nothing else that will work for me. Sure, I’d love to do other things. Being some kind of shrink always interested me.. but I can’t do those things because I will go crazy! You may be thinking.. “Ok, be a shrink and play music on the side.” But no.. that wont work for me. Music is my main priority in life and I would most likely fall into a deep deep depression if I couldn’t make a full time job/life out of it.

I plan to go to University for a bit (I was gonna go only a year.. but I guess I have to go for two whole years to get anywheres!) and get my Bachelor of Arts.. and then I will begin my real life. Once all of this school shit is out of the way, I will start to do what I have been waiting for. Play my music all over the world. You may be wondering.. “Now where is this money coming from to get all around the world?” All I can say to you about that one is that I’m gonna make it happen. Big dreams for one person, but theres nothing else that I’d rather do. Money comes and money goes.. I just trust I’ll have it when I need it the most.

Well shit.. this happens every time I try to write a blog that actually means something. My mind goes blank. What are you planning to do with your future?
But I would like to say thank you to Tilly for inspiring me to write a new blog!
Lindsay

To all of my affiliates..I'm sorry!!

think-x.info (T H I N K - X) — Sat, 19 Mar 2011 21:02:35 -0500

I got an email today telling me something I’ve done wrong. I’ve never really noticed it until today.. and I’m happy I got confronted about it while I still had the chance of people liking me.
Yesterday, I sent out a comment to most of my affiliates saying “Hey Affie! I always hate the messages where you copy & paste it to all of your affies… but I feel like I haven’t talked to any one of you in years! How are you?” I didn’t think about 1) How unbelievably rude that can sound. Could you imagine if someone had lost a family member, wrote about it in their blog, and then received a comment like that? 2) How it’s total spam attack! 3) Not only is it rude, but it’s being completely self centered. I’m leaving a comment not bothering to read the persons blog, while I’m sure they’ve read my blog numerous times! And the main reason why I’m leaving the comment is so they will come to my website and comment on my blog! Isn’t that awful?
So I have just come to say that I’m sorry!! And there will be no more of this piczo-esque behavior. I will now take the time to read your blogs, and not just comment on your site for my well-being.
Lindsay

EDIT I would also like to add that my thoughts and love go out to the people of Japan, and people who have loved ones in Japan. My heart goes out to all of you at this time, and I hope you all get through what has happened. My family & I have made a donation to help you all. I wish we could do more! <3

Republica Dominicana 2011

think-x.info (T H I N K - X) — Thu, 17 Mar 2011 20:20:41 -0500

Hey everyone! Como estas? As they said in Dominican..
So as some of you may know.. I went to Dominican on the 9^th, and just got home last night! It was a really nice time. I met some really nice people there, and had LOADS of iced tea! I thought I’d share some photo’s with you and basically just make this into a photo blog. (Click to enlarge photos)

I was pretty excited!

And we finally see Dominicana!!!!!

Finally there! As you can tell.. my mother is a lovely specimen.

My hotel! The VH Gran Ventana. A great place to stay! One of the best in Peurto Plata!!

It was so beautiful inside!

And this is what we saw when we looked out of our hotel room. Not phenomenal, but it’s the best you could get!

The Beach! It was beautiful!

My teacher gave me this book to read while I was there. I said I was going to… but I didn’t! Instead I read the Tattoo Chronicles by Kat Von D!

The Dog Whisperer. As we called him… He would walk down the beach EVERY SINGLE DAY with his ipod docking station playing rock music, with like two dogs. It was weird. He was weird.

The hotel was really boring in the night time, until about 9:30pm.. so my mom & I played pool for numerous hours at a time!

The Entertainment crew! They were so funny!

There was a parrot and a monkey in this store in the little mall! I have no idea why I didn’t get a picture of the monkey.. BUT HE WAS SO CUTE!! hahah.. heres a story for ya. The guy at the store put the monkey on my shoulder and said, “Would you like to keep him?” And I said, “Yeah.. I would.” And he goes.. “Ok, you’ll have to do one thing for me.” And I thought, Oh jesus.. he wants me to have sex with him.. But then he says.. “You have to marry me.” I told him sure! And then he said he found it hard to believe I didn’t have a boyfriend.. and I told him.. “Man, you are my boyfriend!” And he got a kick out of that. ;P

We went on this Dune Buggying tour.. which was actually a scam.. hahah It was ok though.

It was sooooooo sandy! Or.. dusty I mean!

The pool that I never swam in…. hahah. I hate swimming in pools with other people.. ew.

MINI ME!!!! One of the guys from the Entertainment crew! He was so funny!!

LOLLLL.. He LOVED getting his picture taken!

Another guy from the Entertainment Crew! Chakalakaaa!!! He was so cute!

The bell boy that became my adopted father! He was SOOOOO nice!

MA BROTHAAAAAAAAAAAA!! One night he was pouring me water.. and I said “Thanks brotha.” And then he says “Oh… you my sister?” And then we just started calling eachother brotha & sista! He was so nice!

ANOTHER Entertainment crew member!!! This was Scooby!! He was SOOO NICE!

Soooo…. I met this guy there. I dunno… none of the pictures of him do him justice. He is actually amazingly gorgeous. His name is Andenson. ♥

Us again. Hes such a babe!!

Anyways, I had a really nice time! I can’t wait to go back and see my Andenson!

Media Stereotypes?

think-x.info (T H I N K - X) — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 05:46:17 -0500

Hey everyone, its GREG! I know, you probably have no idea who I am.. I dont blog much, I just make the pretty things that you see here! I added a new layout today, not my favourite thing in the world but it’ll have to do..

So I kinda want to talk about something which has been bothering me for a while. In todays society we have so much homophobia and sexism and I think I may have found the cause to all this discrimination! Todays media plays a massive role. From the minute we start watching TV or read our first book, we already have our gender roles told to us. Throughout every book you read during childhood, the mum is always the one looking after the children, staying home to clean, running the bath water and the dad just goes to work. Wears a suit. Thats it. These illustrations make it almost impossible for children to learn that you can be WHOEVER you want to be. In every to catalouge, or TV programme the little girls always play with barbie dolls, or the boys play with cars and guns. Doesn’t this frighten us? The fact that children are forced to do what they’re “meant” to do. Fair enough, most little girls DO like dolls, and most little boys DO like guns. But what about those who dont? They’re subject to a lot of discrimination and teasing. The minute little children go to school, they know who’s different. This frightens me. My little cousin told me “You cant play with dolls. Those are for girls.” How shocking that from such an early age, little children know exactly what boys/girls are meant to do/be in life. Why dont’ we see little boys in catalouges playing with the “girls” toys? Is it because we’re afraid that suddenly people will be accepted? Is it because there will be MUCH less discrimination? If we see these sort of images, then we’d grow up accepting anyone and everyone.

Think about the disney movies. Every girl fantasizes about her prince. For him to be the breadwinner.. the income.. and for her to stay home and love him whilst looking stunning. Why don’t we see disney princesses who understand life doesn’t revolve around “finding a prince”. You CAN go out and have a career. YOU can do a mans job. YOU can go onto higher education. You can be whoever you want to be.

What about sexuality? All the disney movies are filled with heterosexuals. Why not teach children about homosexuality during childhood? Maybe this will cut down on homophobia, and allow homosexuals to be more accepted in society. It’s really shocking that we’ve been here for 2011 years, and we still find it hard to accept people for who they are.

I have to admit though, it is getting better. I notice it a lot in the music industry. Lady Gaga has done so much, I watch her concerts online and seeing how she respects EVERYONE is incredible. She’s right. She is breeding a new generation, but WE have to mantain it, WE have to teach our children, WE have to clamp down on discrimination, grab it with both hands and DESTROY IT.

I hope you didn’t get too bored reading this! haha
Greg

Dominican Republic, woo!

think-x.info (T H I N K - X) — Sat, 26 Feb 2011 17:52:00 -0600

So my mom has told me that we are going to Dominican for sure! I’m so excited! Our hotel looks beautiful, and so does the beach! So I guess I could say, “our resort looks beautiful”. It’s all inclusive, so that’s always nice! You can go up and get drinks whenever! It would really benefit you if you drank alcohol a lot, cause it’s all technically free! But my mom and I don’t drink, so we don’t get that benefit.. BUT, my mom is obsessed with Diet Coke, so she can get as much of that as she wants, and I can get all the Iced Tea I want. Yay.
I already have a list of things I must do there. I thought why not share it with yous?
-Horseback Riding
-Kayaking
-Meditation on the beach
-Meet at least one person who actually lives there, and keep in contact
-Finish my book (Dracula)
-DO NOT get sunburned! (Last time I was there (when I was 8) I got really bad sun stroke, and missed out on like 3 days of the vacation!)
-Get my hair wrapped in coloured string. Now, I know this sounds stupid.. but it looks like this. Well, better than that. But basically, I want one stand of my hair wrapped in coloured thread because it will look awesome. It’ll be in colours like these.

And other than that, I guess I will find out what else to do when I get there! I’m an over-planner… so I most likely wont get half of those things done.. but I’m not going to get my hopes down!
Here’s a look at the hotel!

And I’m not bragging! haha, if that’s the way you feel.. sorry! I’m just showing you what it’s going to be like!
I think the thing I’m most excited to do is go Kayaking. I can’t express to you how much I love kayaking! It is so fun.
But anyways, I’m going to message Greg and tell him that he MUST write a blog! Maybe a photo blog!
And also, March SOTM needs more entries!! If you’d like to enter, you can do it here. Hurry!!

My cousin just got a puppy! She’s a Chorkie (Cross between a Chihuahua & a Yorkie) And she named her Yoko after Yoko Ono! Shes so adorable! Shes about the size of your palm!

I also got new boots… which I am absolutely obsessed with. They have about a 6 inch heel, and a 2 1/2 inch platform. Let me tell you… they are probably the most comfortable heels I’ve ever worn. They are amazing. I wore them for about 5 hours today, and my feet didn’t even start to hurt! Not only that, but they are extremely easy to walk in!

And here is my dog. hahah. He is so amazing.
Other than that, I’ve been doing nothing lately! My mom & I are thinking of going away to the Dominican Republic for March break.. so that would be nice. I’m not really into staying at resorts. Like, I’m the type of person who’d love to go to India and stay in some random persons house.. haha, but I’m still going to go to Dominican if someone offers!

What do you think of me photo blogging? Do you think Greg should take a shot at it?

Goddesses

So my cousin called me today and told me she is taking me to a Stevie Nicks concert!! If you don’t know who she is, look her up! Shes a rock goddess, and also my personal goddess. She is also the main vocalist of one of my favourite bands, Fleetwood Mac. A lot of people say Fleetwood Mac are corny.. haha, well.. they are, but I just love corny things. Going to a Stevie Nicks concert is one of my life goals.. and it is now almost complete.

Lets talk about Goddesses, shall we? There are five women that inspire me every single day. Janis Joplin, Stevie Nicks, Kat Von D, Johnette Napolitano, and Audrey Hepburn. Those five women inspire the way I wear my hair, clothes, makeup, and even the way I talk! That may sound pathetic. I guess in a way it does. If you are wondering, “Why are you dressing, speaking, and wearing things like others? Where is your originality?” Well my dear, I do have lots of originality. Inspiration and copying are two different things. OR, maybe you where thinking… “How cool to have people that inspire you to be who you are!” OR, maybe you where thinking.. “Who gives a shit?” Either way… we are all different.. haha.
Wow.. I can’t write a blog without being like completely all over the place!!

Anyways, new competitions up if you’d like to enter!
