Turn My Way

I can’t tell you how much it annoys to me to see huge chunks of lyrics copied and pasted into a blog. Right now I kind of feel like a New Order song, but I don’t want to be the person I annoy on the internet.

Today I was propositioned to give a friend some tips and such about backpacking around Europe. It is kind of fun reliving all my memories and all it does is make me want to put on my backpack again. I really need a good long holiday away from North America again.

Just look how happy I was in Bern.
I’m also working on some new things for the site. The blog will become secondary to my photo portfolio. I’ll still be writing just as much just it won’t be the main part of my website. So we will see how that goes in the coming month as I sort out my best of the best photographs.

Day 7: The Blog. 

I read lots of blogs and it is always a treat finding a new one. I’m lucky to have some great friends who really picked up blogging this year Rozie, Jer, Tindy, Cassie, EleanorDavetheBrave, and Mark to name a few.

But I have to say my favourite blog this year has to be Put This On. Jesse Thorn (host of "The Sound of Young America") and Adam Lisagor (Lonely Sandwich from podcast "You Look Nice Today") started a great blog and web series about dressing like an adult.

When I check my tumblr and they’ve posted it is always a treat and makes me want to be expensive grown up clothes.

I recommend you check it out and see what all the fuss is about.

365 Women.

I'm going to Beerfest. I'm going on vacation this weekend. I'm doing things.

Speaking of doing things I was out with a friend of mine the other night you may know him as @jc_sharp on twitter, and we were discussing his new project among other things.

It's called "365 Women," and should promise to be a super interesting project. There is a good chance it might be a little funny too. Jason plans to ask out a lady a day even if it is just for coffee or drinks. It's his quest to conquer his fears (of asking out ladies) and possibly finding the "one."

Check out his brand new as of last night blog "365 Women: A year long journey to ask out 365 women."

Is this it?

or "Under Construction."

I wrote something like this to post earlier, but had a brown out and lost everything.

I've been having trouble lately articulating my ideas for my personal website. Be it designing the concept I want to bring across or implementing something for the web I just can't get it right.  Granted some of my ideas are a little ambitious for my level of designing but I hope one day I will be able to make it work. Someone recommended I try squarespace till I become more comfortable with things and it gives me almost ultimate control over everything.

I'm trying to make some goals for myself when it comes to my writing. I know I won't be an everyday writer at least for a while but I do want to have something new several times a week. I want to write about music and the concerts I go to. Not reviewing it but about the experiences. I plan on writing about food and drink on occasion as I am a bit of a beer snob and enjoy good food. I'd like to start some travel writing even if it is just a day trip over to The Spit or months abroad. I enjoy reading travel writing quite a bit and it was actually one of the things that inspired me to go to Europe for two months.

I also plan on doing something with my photography. I was thinking of maybe doing a gallery/portfolio on here too. I'd also like to be able to throw a photo up when I've got nothing to say, but not to often.

Basically I don't know where my blog/website is going right now. Expect all sorts of changes over the next few months while I'm playing with designs until I do something I'm truly happy with. I know the direction I want to go and I know the direction I don't want to go. So I think that helps a little. Until then here is to ambition, indecision, and poor grammar.
