January 2, 2009

The Act of disappearing. Getting your audiences attention to focus on something while making something else disappear. While you looking over there, something else is happening over here. A trick of the mind, Slip of the hand, An illusion made real. Magicians have been doing disappearing acts for centuries and some will always remain a mystery on how it is done and why. They show us only what we want to see, no explanation. Just vanish.

The Reality. Negativity, its my enemy. I can be very negative, which in turn makes me depressed and stressed. Always complaining about everything, the weather, the city, my truck, snowmobile, whats on TV, people! All these things and more are what I complain about with a “negative” perspective. Its horrible, when I complain about these things it cause me to get stressed because I start to think about the bad side of things. What if it break, I can’t fix it, I don’t have any money, HOW AM I GOING TO SURVIVE!

Lets go over some of those “things”.

Lets see, The Weather, why bother complaining about it. We choose to live here, you don’t want to deal with the snow and the cold. MOVE! Only God controls the weather, and I think he knows what he is doing.

This beautiful city…. Its just like any other place, it has it problems. Its whether you help improve them or just complain, constantly about them is the problem. Here is my issue, I don’t mind this place, its nice and it offers a lot and although I don’t have to worry about property taxes and the cost of living I think it is a good place to live. When your around people who only complain about it it does rub off on you. You have to….. I had to disappear so I could cool down and relax. If all someone is going to do is complain about a place, MOVE!

As for my Truck and Snowmobile they are just apart of life. I don’t have to have them if I don’t want to. They’re going to break that’s what they do. If I maintain them and use them with care and respect instead of driving like a mad man and beating them they have a better chance at working properly longer. If they do break on the off chance and they do I have learned how to handle myself when. I have started to hide money on myself for that rainy day so I can get them fixed and go on living my life. Not complaining about the fact it happen and how I don’t have any money to fix them. You make you own path!

The People, ah this is a touchy one. Brod: If people your around are negative, chance are you will be too. Defined: To be blunt I am sorry. We all need to decompress to someone but it gets to a point where a person has to shut up and think about what they are talking about. Don’t get all depressed and jealous if that girl you like, likes someone else and isn’t hang out with you as much any more. Get over her and get over yourself. There’s more fish in the sea as they say. To the person who spends 10 grand on a transportation device, don’t complain to me about the payments and how you can not afford it to break. I also did that and have learned that I need to take responsibility for my actions instead of complaining about it. Your the one who spent the 10 grand of the banks money to get it. If you can’t afford to fix it, that’s not anyone else’s problem other than your own. 100% self inflicted, deal with it. I’m harsh I know. To the people who do not approve of the way something is being run don’t just flippin’ complain about it do something about it. Okay. And if you are trying to do something it, don’t continue to complain. We Get It, You Don’t Like It Enough Said.

All these things combined are to much for one person. What happen to Positive. I suppose it is easier to rant than praise. I want to praise, I want to be positive, I don’t want to complain. I hope I have gotten what you wanted to hear aross properly. I vanished because I needed to decompress and think about life. We are who were are, I am who I am. Don’t take this personally.

Convo.

I’m not very good at making conversation but one good tip is to talk about the other person. It give you something to talk about as well as making the other peron (who you are talk about) feel important.
Remember That.

Couldn’t if I Wanted Too

By on January 4, 2009 in Journal

Man I couldn’t write a proper post if I really wanted too. I have been up for 24 hours now and I wanted to write up a post I have been working on but I guess thats not going to happen. My eye lids are heavy and I have been reading most of the night and could fall asleep at anytime, ironicly I only have a hour and half left before I can go home.

I couldn’t even remember what that post was going to be about, so I had to check in my Notebook. It will be on my disappearing act. If you know me you kind of have picked up on the idea that I disappear. I guess you will have to check back later to find out, Why I do it? Where I go? When I will come back, if ever?

A Day in Yellowknife

Mom and me headed out today to get some shots of around Yellowknife. Although 5* warmer we still had to bundle up to stay warm out there. Our adventure took us out to the Yellowknife River, the Boat Dock by Giant Mine, throw town and up to Pilots Monument. After getting a 100 or so shots each we retired to Bp’s for lunch together.

I Need Your Help!

By on January 2, 2009 in Journal

I need your help. Seriously. I recently wrote a Christmas letter for my family and it seemed like everyone was overwhelmed with not only reading about our year but that I wrote it and how well I wrote it. My aunt who happens to be a professor at the U of T said that I apparently write better than some of her 3rd year University Students. Although In this letter I took my time and continuously changed and reworded myself in hopes of making it better and better, my blog post on the other hand are most of the time the exact opposite. Half the time I don’t reread them and just finish them as quick as possible and publish them.

This is where I need your help, I need a challenge. Lately my posts are some what dull.  I can’t seem to find that one thing to write about. I do release a post per day most of the time but they are quick things I come up with just so I am continuously writing. I want you the reader to post up in my comments, topics which you want me to write about. Anything, and I mean anything, I don’t mind. Once I get a batch of topics I will try to schedule them so that you have an idea of when I’m going to publish them. So please send in those topics you have on your mind, the weather, a problem you have, a current news event, whatever you want.

Lets Hope it Peaks

By on January 2, 2009 in Journal, Travels

As you may know I don’t like talking about the weather because it should be considered a part of life not something to complain about. So I am not going to complain about it, just inform you. I surfing around on the Internet today and came across someone claiming that it was -43 and it was still going to get colder. This is just not true. It is getting warmer. Don’t believe me look around, check out the weather sites. I did and at first I didn’t think they were being accurate so I headed on over to yr.no, what is that you might ask. Well it is a Norwegian Weather site and it is ten times more accurate than any Canadian weather site. They are extremely good a prediction the upcoming weather and have a couple different ways of showing it, including a hour by hour chart and a map the progresses hour by hour showing the pressure systems. How do I know its accuracy, well over the summer when I work for the expediting/tourism company. I need to know the weather for here in Yellowknife as well as our many camps and this was one of the only sites that shows me the weather up north.  Using it so often it proved it self and I don’t doubt  it very often.
