yay! haven't got a question in so long! i'd sadly have to say facebook, but i don't even think i can consider that a "website" in the sense of intaking content. i just have to communicate through it for work, school, and to keep up with people that live very far away from me. but, after that would have to be Wikipedia. that's definitely like my favourite website. it's so good, especially for like tracking the progression of creative movements, various types of artists, film directors, writers, musicians. it's just awesome. i like reading stuff on Thought Catalog, and i visit The Hundreds blog daily, and I read Pitchfork reviews daily too mainly b/c i think they have the most extensive coverage, but I really liked altered zones back when it was still running, but i've resorted to 20jazzfunkgreats for now. I like visiting the BOOOOOOOM blog, Naomi Shimada's blog, and the Odd Future blog. i don't visit tumblr as often these days, but when I do, I often visit your blog still!! and another one called iweartights. I also like browsing through Toronto Life and The Grid T.O.. Oh, and Food Junkie Chronicles. I really like her blog. so I'll pretend there was an extra 's' somewhere in that question and leave this horrible eyesore of a "paragraph" here.

i'm going to be completely honest -- and i'm sorry for anybody who might not agree with me in regards to this -- but i thought it would be such a great idea to create a feces blog documenting the magnificent turds I produce on a daily basis. you know, sometimes you are so satisfied with the results you become a little overwhelmed. you know those times it comes out, you look down and think to yourself how incredibly perfect your turd is. it's like your own child. you're just so proud of it. even the dissonant odour somehow becomes charming, because you could never hate your own child. but anyways, you're very excited at this point and you become overwhelmed with the many social media mediums you could use to share this endearing part of you. now i never had the time to fully form this concept into a workable idea, but i feel as though a lot of people will think it's just a load of pretentious crap. and to be honest, my turds are not at all pretentious.

hahaha, uh... a place for alternative people. i feel as though i'm not alt bro enough for this. like everyone here seems so alt and cool. i'm not alt and cool enough. i feel like i don't deserve a free account. all these scenester avatars are so alt and cool and stuff. but i'm not that alt and cool.

probably toronto. it just feels like home for me. not that i don't want to experience other cities. i visited new york city a while ago, and i absolutely loved it. soho is one of the most beautiful places i've been to. and i just visited helsinki this past month -- one of Europe's most livable metropolises -- and it was a fantastic experience. but i don't think i'd want more than a short term visit. like a few months in cities would be ideal to me. i'd still like to visit vancouver, l.a., tokyo, osaka, hong kong, berlin, antwerp, florence, paris, melbourne, stockholm, et alii.
i know toronto's probably the least coolest of Canada's big cities. i mean it's credibility is way below montreal or vancouver. but i'm really fond of toronto -- possibly because i'm a suburb kid. i just feel it has a lot of cool places, there's this constant buzz going on, but at the same time it's really laid back and easy going. i mean the drivers in montreal scare me, and i still haven't paid a proper visit to vancouver. but toronto has always felt very homey. yeah. -
i think it has a lot to do with perspective. the idea that we are ruled by society -- meaning we are all sheep and we follow each other? i guess it's a pretty tragic truth. but at the same time, doesn't that allow for progression? or is progression an illusion. there's "nothing new under the sun" right? i probably interpreted this question all wrong, but i think things work out a lot better when we let a Sheperd take over. and i don't mean just another one of the sheep.

to discover ourselves. to discover how incredibly incomplete we are -- our fragility and weakness and selfishness and corruption. to realize we are in need. in desperate need. then, to find what we need. to pursue what we need. to grab a hold of it and never let go of it no matter what anybody else tells us. and then to doubt we chose the right thing to grab onto in the first place. to discover we were holding onto the wrong thing all along. to become disconsolately dismayed at this tragedy. to discover what we need is not a what, but a Who. to discover that we don't possess the will or strength to hold onto anything in this life. to discover that this Who will be the one that will hold onto us forever. to discover that all we are capable to do is to love. we were created to love. love requires many things of us. obedience, humility, a long race of sanctification, reliance, selflessness. but ultimately everything it requires of us is for the purpose of itself. love Him. love you.

i answered this question before, but i'm going to answer it regarding music now, lol. regarding old stuff, i've been listening to The Replacements a lot recently. i like them. i like the new Eleanor Friedberger album and the new Clams Casino EP a lot! and Watch The Throne... i like that album a lot too... i like random stuff from Main Attrakionz too... and John Maus... I always listen to Pavement and The Dream... oh and I love the new Bon Iver... yah... i like Grimes... k, i'll stop now.

I have no idea... what God has planned... I guess that's what I want most, whatever he has planned for me. Right now, sitting in this pile of cluelessness, these are some things I think would be pretty nice to have/have accomplished by age 30...
1.) Family - lol, this is a weird thing to say, but find a girl that has fallen helplessly in love with God and his beautiful grace, work up the courage to woo her, bahahaha, marry her, and... have children? ...ahahaha.... uh... however long that takes to play out... i don't even know if any of that is in my future... but I think it would be nice... haha
2.) Missions Trip - I'd like to experience something like this before I leave university... just an opportunity to form friendships with people that live on the other side of this planet... and share the incredible love story God has interwoven into my own life...
3.) Graduate/Get a Job - so... first i have to pass... school, haha... then... well... i've always thought it would be cool to get a job in some sort of creative engineering firm... working closely with industrial designers or environmental designers (design space) or robotics/computer-programming involved with creating affordable lifestyle products... or a firm that creates solutions pertaining to global development... i don't know really... something like that?
4.) Web Project - I don't know how the internet will be like by the time i'm 30... but i think it would be cool to have some sort of web project on the side... that ministers to creatively inclined youth... an online medium that reaches out to and supports what ever creative communities exist in the future. kind of like a creative forum to discuss faith, justice, love, and art... not necessarily in the form of social media's current state or even in the form of a blog... i guess we'll have to see how the internet progresses... or regresses, haha...
5.) Gathered Church Involvement - I just really hope by the time of 30, some sort of gathered community of believers will exist that are extremely excited about God, and I hope I can find a meaningful way to help nurture and contribute to such an environment...
and yeah... some goals that i wouldn't mind seeing play out in my life... but to be honest, i'm far more excited to see what God's actually going to do with my life... probably a whole lot better than the stuff I wrote up there, haha... he's very good a planning these sorts of things... lives that is... ;) -
twelve... and i'm in a triple room at rez... so i feel like a party pooper sometimes... i can actually sleep when it's noisy... so i never ask ppl to leave... but they feel bad so they leave when i go to sleep... your other question will take a while to think about... i have to go to class now... lol...

^LOLLL. I'm going to answer this question anyways. My school had this stupid "outdoor education center" we had to go to for four days every year during middle school. I mean, it was really fun and all, but they only scheduled people to shower once for the entire four days. And, I mean, we're doing all these arduous physical activities outside, and we showered once for an entire four days. What an incredibly stupid thing to plan for students. And the showers were horrifically gross as well I should add. Anyways, I disagree with these people, Mandy. I don't think you're gross. LOLLL.

Haha, funny how a million dollars doesn't do that much for you nowadays. anyways, i would likely give half of it to an impoverished nation's orphanage; one that has a really vibrant vision to honour God in all they do. Next, a full ten percent to my church back at home, and the rest to pay off my parent's mortgage. I really do apologize for such a brutally boring response, but I should probably add that I'm a rather tedious person to be quite honest. I mean if I was a little more spontaneous... and self-indulgent... I'd probably purchase a taxidermy zebra. Is that weird?

lol, the BIBLE! :) really is a fantastic book. Two books I've recently read, and both really adore, are Oscar Wilde's "The Picture of Dorian Gray" and Salinger's "The Catcher in the Rye." They've really influenced my perspective on art and adolescence respectively. I also read "On The Road" recently. For some reason, I found it a little difficult to get through at times, but the energy and zeal that Kerouac describes in his Moriarty character has really influenced my outlook in life. I tend to get a lot more excited about everyday things around me. It gives you a real appreciation of the trivial and ordinary things in life we often take for granted, both social and physical, kind of like photography does. Now when I observe people around me, I take it all in with utter fascination. People can be really interesting, and the book was a nice reminder that you can take inspiration away from every single human being you run into in life.

this incident is still shrouded in mystery, even the very cause of death, but it is believed that this is the man behind G-Dragon's tragic misfortune... http://kimjongillookingatthings.tumblr.com/
