Save it for a rainy day.

    You know when you get bored and you have nothing to do so you search you-tube for random things that will make you laugh thus easing the pain of boredom? Not me... I've had so much stuff to do and it's been exhausting. we just had the 3-4 busiest weeks thus far, every thing sort of came to a climax in each of our courses. And now the majority of the work load is finished and there's only two and a half weeks left in first year, but I feel like I'm done already... which is not good because I'm not... anyways enough about school...

    The fact that my bike chain was broken and I'm not exactly financially stable led to the decision that I was going to walk home after working in the labs at school. I wanted to take this time to reflect on my life as it has been recently known, and apply the findings to future plans... so it didn't happen exactly how imagined it but it was a success in its own right...

    Rather than ponder about the past 7-8 months/the upcoming summer/possibility of returning for next year, I found myself walking through a windy down-poor (luckily tailwind) for an hour picturing myself in various films or situations that coincided with the music I was listening to. At one point I pictured the falling rain as the tears falling in James Blunts "Cry"... that was dashed when I realized that the protagonist was crying on a shoulder and that shoulder would be absorbing the water rather than falling on my head... Other scenarios include walking down the rainy street next to Bob Marley with a "it's no big deal that its raining, cause life is great" attitude... and then there is what happened most... Acting as though various things (not all negative of course) that had brought me to the point where I was walking alone in a windy rain (though surprisingly not overly cold) to music by Matt Costa, Andrew Bird, Shad, K'naan, and others... And as I was approaching the street I lived on... I realized something... I just walked an hour without drawing a hint of my attention to what intended... that's when I realized... I just don't care...

    Yeah, that sounds a little harsh but its true, I don't care... Well I care that I have a good time and that I learn and grow as a person, because that's whats important to me. However the lack of caring occurs because I trust that whatever decisions I make and whatever I do will provide exactly what I need. So there's really nothing to worry about. So in conclusion, though I don't think I have a lot of regular readers, and not that you should be taking advice from me... BUT if you so happen to be contemplating a bunch of stuff in your life. Maybe you should just save your thoughts for the figurative "rainy day" because there's really nothing to worry about, Life goes on so enjoy it for the moment you are currently living in probably won't make you become a drug addict in the future... unless your high right now... then there's a chance...


Photos: I had the honour of shooting Adam Radziwinowski in the foot... Kidding, I did shoot him with my camera though, we had a fashion assignment due and Adam stepped up as the model for this project. I also had the always lovely Rachel Cohen as an assistant (Michelle Cochrane helped too, shes also lovely) helping me figure out what I wanted to do lighting wise. Thanks guys!!
