Victory

I took this photo today as I was walking around the quay. This was around 4:30, so people on the streets were going absolutely nuts from the gold medal in mens hockey. It was just incredible. With all the honking from roudy fans in their automobiles, it sounded like a stereotypical New York traffic jam. I was considering going to downtown to join in on the festivities, but I wanted to enjoy watching the closing ceremonies, so I went home instead. All in all, this was probably one of the greatest days in Canadian history

Going out for a date

And there I go again with my terrbile puns. I was quite surprised when I saw an actual date today, like, raw. I have no idea how you're supposed to eat it, but it looks damn cool. I put it next to an ordinary apple for comparrison. But yeah, after these past few blog posts about trying new things, this seems quite appropriate.

More tea?

So I had some friends over tonight, and of course we had some tea. It's this Irish Breakfast Tea and it's really good. For that matter, I tried adding milk to it for the first time, and it turned out great. I guess I just need to try out new things more often, and just go beyond the things I know I love.

Head on

One of the things I love about doing this daily photo thing is the new perepective I have of the world. I'm finding myself looking for new ways to look at things, like this doorknob for example. It's such a common item, used frequently each and every day, yet I never noticed it until today. The thing is, this kind of thing has been happening more and more in my everyday life, which is just awesome.

I'm not one enjoys living in regret, but to have had this kind of sight in my younger days would've changed many things. Not just like, taking pictures, but just seeing things in a different light. There seems to be beauty and complexity in everything in life. But hey, it's good now, and there's no reason it should change in the future

Pie Chart

Remember that post I wrote about pumpkin pie on saturday? Well I finished that pie and bought another one last night lol. I thought I might try a little play on words. Get it, it's a PIE chart...ha..hehe...he......no?

K I'm sorry, I just love really bad jokes. Anyways, for anyone who has tried using my camera, you've probably noticed that the lens seems like it's "zoomed in." I'm not going to go into detail about my lenses, but I'll just say that that lens has a minimum focusing distance of 45cm, meaning that I had to get my camera half a metre above my dining table. I'm quite thankful that I didn't break anything whilst balancing a tripod on the table

Go Canada Go!

I'm still working my way through the photos I've taken recently, so I haven't been able to put up the facebook album yet. In the meantime, I thought I'd share these shades that I purchased downtown yesterday. They look and feel great (and they were only 15 bucks). As I was walking around downtown yesterday, I noticed a lot, if not most people dressed up with crazy amounts of Olympic gear. I thought that those people were a little...off. But today I went out and bought an Olympic sweater and everything changed. I felt like suddenly I needed more. Much more. I didn't even need to think about it, I just saw myself in the mirror, and my first thought was that I needed more red on me. It's a strange sensation, kinda like patriotism, but not really. It's quite difficult to describe until you've experienced it for yourself :P

My own Olympic Torch

For the first time since the olympics started, I went to Vancouver today. It was an absolutly amazing experience, an I encourge anyone who has not gone to get going asap! The photo here is just a little fun we had when viewing the cauldron. We had considered doing the zipline, until we found out that there was to be a 9 hour wait from 9am. So that obviously didn't happen. We did, however, have a very productive day. I will post the link to the photos I took when I get them posted to facebook.
