Photo Hunt Theme : Favorite

This is my Mr.
This, is my love. I am so great full for him, i cannot even begin to put words to it.
but, i am sure you know what i mean.

He has been my strength these past two years and, literally, carried me when i was in too much pain to hold myself up.

He is, most definitly,
My Favorite.

Photo Hunt Theme : Ruin(ed)

this is all that remains of what i imagine was some sort of corral.

i took this picture several years ago while staying with my sister and her family in Cairo, Georgia.

PhotoHunt

pictures from Nuit Blanche..not that many, actually

not many at all.. its hard to take pics at night. yanno?

NUIT BLANCHE 2008

this was in zone c. which is where we live. this is behind us in the Warehouse District.

this exhibit was basically smashing stuff.

smash!

a poem spray painted on a lawn sign

this was definitely one of my fav exhibits. the music that was play was didgeridoo music. sweet!

a close up

king street

this was taken in a tent fashion show. those are the models dancing. i talked to the designer, her stuff was awesome.

this shot isn't that great but it looked awesome in person. it was a light show on the wall of water effects.

shot taken in a gallery by our library. this was a video loop that a person recorded doing everyday boring stuff. like taking the subway.

this exhibit was called Entropy

we were so flipping tired on the streetcar, and no, that isn't Bjork in the back round..i have been asked about that a few times.

happy birthday to me

i want to start off by saying i'm not exactly a celebratory kinda gal..

but i do love birthdays. preferably low key and the more sparklers the better.

i'm another year closer to feeling caught up

The Mr. and I are not 'active' or 'sporty' people. we also are not 'lets go outside and bask in the glow of nature' people.
though, i do like granola. i just do not have the patience to chew it for the rest of holy mother of God eternity forever and amen. (thats pronouned AH-men. like say ahhh for the doctor. i dont say AAAAAAAAAAAA. like ms. dolittle from my fair lady.)
We are also not summer people. we do not own summer people clothes. we would be much happier living in say, Nunavut than wonderful Southern Ontario.
(my hair would also like to say "Fuck You, humidity.")
We are pale people. we will go for a long walk cruising around the city. we will sit outside. we are the sort of people who breathe air.

but all that aside, i love water. so does taylor. we don't like swimming in it or anything. i will be on it. i will drink it. i wont swim in it. i also like horses. i think they're majestic, stunning, and beautiful creatures.
but like hell you would get me to ride one.

so now coming to the point of this here post.

Posted for your viewing pleasure are some of the photo's i took on one of our walks down to the lake. They're not perfectly lined up shots, or even edited shots. since mother effer Mac decided to freeze and i thought i had lost them. but i found them! but cannot export them into anything to edit for some unknown reason.
Without Further Ado,
the photos.

The CN Tower. no i have not been in it. no i do not know if its like peeing only better.


Tracks. im not sure if this is the GO Train or just a regular freighter tracks


This is the QEW. which stands for Queen Elizabeth Way. Its the major expressway going through the city


This is the bridge for pedestrians to use to cross over the QEW to get to the lake. so we dont get splattered or anything. omg i really need to write a post about how stupid ass obnoxious pedestrians in this city are. like. dooooods.


The sun that day was really bright and the clouds were mega fluffy. like cotton candy, but tasteless gas.


Friendly Duck!


The path on the left is for the active people. As you can see, we were on the other one..


That would be a canadian goose


I think these are Dragon Boat racers training. the chick standing was totally kicking their asses.



and thats it. i took like a ton of clouds pics that day cuz apparently they were SO! AWESOME! but i thought i'd spare you all.
this is all linked to my flickr as well.

bye bye snow

here comes the rain people
snows gone, but the rain is here to stay for a few days now..
even keel. thats all i ask for.
one day of no wind, no rain. no SNOW. just, even keel.

here's my last shot of me and snow for this season.

PSST

im gonna let you all in on a little secret as too why relationships sometimes don't work/last for the long haul


A. when person isn't that interested in you to begin with, so why would said person try to keep something, that doesnt really exist in their mind, keep on going when LOOK!! that GIRL!! wOw O.O (or guy, im not sexist)

B. or people in the relationship have flaws (WHAT?! FLAWS?! NOT ME!!) and won't admit to it. or, won't try to work on growing, and becoming a better person and couple together.

C. OR are just emotionally incapable of being an equation instead of just a solitary number so far in their life journey (that is me being nice and non judgemental of stupid dick head people who are JIRKS >.< )(or else people who really are lovely, but have to work on just being, and being healthy before sharing their life with someone else)

which brings me to..

i'm not a particularly "romantic" person. in which i mean. Relationships take hard work. people who go from person to person thinking, "well, they weren't the one. we just kept fighting and fighting and it stopped being fun" FRUSTRATE me. ya, ok. maybe they weren't the "one" or maybe you need to realize that things don't stay warm and fuzzy like you're childhood stuffed animals for forever. it comes in waves. you have to store up your love and memories together so that when things get hard and shitty and raw, you have a reservoir to draw from. that is the key that i have learned in my life so far.
the other?
i'm just so appreciative i'm with someone that admits their faults and then works on fixing it.
it is really hard sometimes folks, and i feel more than just a little hypocritical at times. but, love is a strong and powerful thing. it's also faceted, and layered (and im totally not gonna bring in the onion thing)

why i'm talking about this? i have no idea.
to anyone who reads this and thinks. this was for me. great! if not, and you all think im a crazylady (i get told that about ten times a day) let me know too i suppose.


anyways, night all!
make some time to do something special this week. for instance. turn out the light and light some sparklers and dance around to some fun tunes. make some MEMORIES folks!!

cheers!
