***GEEK ALERT*****GEEK ALERT******GEEK ALERT***
Just a little post for you about a fanmade movie that just arrived on ZE Youtube.
Basically, Casey Pugh, the creator, asked youtubers to recreate 15 seconds of a Star Wars: A New Hope's scene and remade the complete movie with it. The result is creative and free to watch on youtube (or on this blog hihihi...)
Trust me, you will not be able to stop watching until the end...
You can see the power of crowdsourcing right there...
Just truly fascinating the imagination some people have... it's crazy!
Question of the post: Which SW movie is your favourite and why? Are you more of a Trekkie?
Love you all, I hope to see you soon! Please leave a comment, it makes me feel good inside ;)
Peace out.
Are you interested in politics? American politics?
Well, you should. The next President of the United States will determine the future of the world.
I am not exagerating.If they cannot balance their budget and repay their debt of 15 000 billion dollars*, we, CANADIANS, are in DANGER . According to the US Department of State, 75% of our export goods and services goes to the States*. If they stop buying, we are in trouble, and that's only one of the many problems related to the economy...
So. Who's in the race?
Democrats:Obama. He lost so many supporters by not delivering the miracles he promised. He was blocked every step of the way (except for Don't Ask Don't Tell and healthcare but this one is going to the supreme court). It's like hiring someone to do a specific job and not giving him the tools to do it. Also, I'm very disappointed with Obama regarding the Wall Street regulations. He didn't fight hard enough. When I say fight, I mean speak out, blame and expose the truth. Too diplomat some will say...
Republicans: Only a couple of guys left running. Mitt Romney, mormon. He thinks that regulations are killing the jobs in America. Pro-life. Thinks Corporations are people. That homosexuals shouldn't have the right to marry. That you should cut taxes for rix people (the 1%: over $375 000 a year). Newt Gingrich, extremely conservative. Also against gay marriage. Cheated on his first wife and left her while she was recovering from cancer and at the same time accusing Bill Clinton of having an affair in the 90s. Cheated on his second wife while she was suffering from Multiple Sclerosis and asked for an open marriage. Nuff' said. Rick Santorum, also extremely conservative. Against gay marriage and homosexuals in general. Google the word Santorum just for fun... No real plan for the economy, nice sweater vests. Oh and against abortion. Ron Paul, libertarian. The most consistent candidate. He never changed his position on taxes or religion, war, etc. Agains any war, wants minimal taxation. The most experienced candidate, his fans are beyond LOYAL.
Independent:Now that's where it gets fun. Stephen Colbert. Comedian, plays a conservative pundits. The man can work a crowd like no other. Decided to show the american public how the corporations and the superpacs are influencing the campaign. He created his own Superpac and exploratory committee. See for yourself:
So this is a incredibely short summary of what is going on. I'll write more on the subject as the weeks go by. If you want me to write about one guy in particular, leave a comment below. Question of the Post: For whom would you vote? Why? Why not? What are you worried about in this election? Love you all, hope you liked my first kind of serious post. Peace out.
Ok you wonderful internet people, I know I haven't been around in a long long time and I apologize for that. Here is a video of an insanely cute puppy to make it up to you:
Sometimes, real life takes over and, to be honest, real life has been pretty good to me. First of all: Christmas. I'm one of those people that are overly excited about it and WAY too soon, like mid-october soon. Singing some holiday's songs just brings me joy and faith.Oh and presents are awesome too ;)
Second of all: laziness. The force/mouvement of inertia. Once you stop, it's hard to get back on, especially since this blog is not a homework anymore. But you know what? I love to write on my blog. I feel like I create something, that my time isn't wasted. It feels like working when in facts, I'm really just taking breaks from studying.
Last of all: internet overdose. I was on the internet all the time for school and at home. I felt connected 24/7. Being on the internet reminded me of school and work so I just cut it. I tried to restrain myself by not checking facebook/twitter/9gag/youtube 5 times a day. The results: I lived a little, went out more (but then I have no money) and slept on average 2 hours more each night (wonderful isn't it?).
So. What's the plan for the future? Hmmm.. some book reviews (I do read books sometimes when the internet is down), some movie reviews (ok I've seen them all don't judge me), some CD reviews (although I am broke --> youtube time before SOPA kills it), some photography ( I did some before the temperature fell below -32, nearly lost a finger)
Here is a little preview just for you:
There you have it America, I'm back.
Love you all, I hope you had a nice break and that your New Year's resolutions haven't already failed. Leave a comment, I want suggestions! Anything! (Yes I am THAT desperate ;)
