My concrete streets

Man, I've come to the conclusion that I am quite of the loop. I mean, how do people even blog? I don't think I know how. I'm trying to use this blog as an outlet of all the positivity I find and do in the world but it's really hard to do that when it's been so damn cold out and I've had a wondrous amount of work to do for school. Oooh! I should make this blog about the interesting things I want to share with people and put an emphasis on the things that are positive and good! A-ha!

There we go. Now I'll have something to put here every week as long as I remain vigilant! Haha I Rz teh L33tz.

Well, the only interesting I have to share right now is a nice little graffiti community from Toronto.
www.bladediary.com . Run by a cat named Posterchild who's been getting up for quite a few years around North America. He updates quite regularily and is a regular on the forums and always has something interesting and informative to say. It's a nice little part of the intarwebs.

That's all folks. I got nothin' else.

*the snow is melting holy crap it's melting!*

Oh Noes!

My pictures won't load! I'll fix that tonight fo sho' bros, fo sho.

Interesting campaign posters

This James Lim fellow has made some interesting election posters around campus. Mainly in the student union area. Posters with slogans and phrases such as "smash boredom", "politics is used for personal gain" , "Spoil your ballot" and "They don't make cars good enough for me to drive in." I doubt he'll even come close to winning or tally up a decent amount of votes but at least he's saying something albeit in vague and, as some have disagreed, witty ways. His messages are being talked about though. Just now I heard a pair of students discussing his posters and despite the fact that it was not in praise it was still being talked about. People were thinking and forming opinions over what he (or maybe she now that I think about it) was saying. It may be due to his short, to the point, large, bold, black-lettering on a white background that captures people's attention but I haven't heard anyone else talk about any other mundane candidate in the halls of McMaster University other than one being denied to address the class about his campaign in my sociology lecture and yes, my ears are paying attention. People have started writing replies on his posters as well. A few in praise such as "You're my favourite but I'm voting for someone else!" and in reply to his "Incite yourself" message: I will cuz' I like you the most. My favourite so far is in response to his "boredom is counter-revolutionary", underneath someone wrote "Vagueness is just confusing". I really want to write "At least vagueness promotes creativity"(Holy crap I love almost anonymous communication on walls!). So I think I'll print up some responses of my own tonight.
I like this James Lim. He has creativity and is seemingly spurning thought from others rather than just saying "LOLZ VOTE 4 M3! I IZ CHANGE". Showing truly, that his politics are not for personal gain. Which is seriously what almost all of these other people are doing. Don't get me wrong though, there are a few candidates who seem to have some of their shit together. None of them have personality like James Lim though. Of course, I wonder if this person is even IN the running for msu prez or just another Wall Prophet having fun. I wish to meet this person though, check out their philosophy and come to understand who they are to have done what they are doing. For it is something good.

I am new in this place

This is SmilingEarth and I believe in the Good. Even more so these days because I am in dire need of something to believe in. Although my personal feelings of good and positivity still exist within me they have been overshadowed by cynicism, ignorance and, to some extent, self-centeredness. Very conflicting inner-beliefs that are doing me no good whatsoever.

When I was a young adolescent I radiated positivity, selflessness and good even when I was alone. I am going to re-connect with that. I am going to document all of the good that I find and all that I attempt to put forth into the world.

Do you remember the curiosity and wonder we felt as children, as teenagers? Were you ever driven to obtain knowledge of what a thing was and why it was that way? To know and revel in the experience of learning and knowing? This is how I used to be. Finding solice, comfort and happiness in just realizing. Just knowing and feeling everything around me. Just being.

This chapter of my life is called: Rebirth of Adolescence
