Graduation

After graduating this year, I plan to move down to the Vancouver area to pursue future education at the British Columbia Institute of Technology (BCIT). I have already been provisionally accepted into a diploma program for Geomatic Engineering. Geomatics is the art and science of spacial measurement. The diploma course I am taking is 2 years. Immediately following completion of the Diploma, I will continue with a Bachelor in Geomatic Engineering, which is another 2 years. After that I plan on writing my ALS and BCLS land surveyor exams to enter a career as a land surveyor. After that is completed I plan to move back to Osoyoos and work under my father as a land surveyor.

53rd Grammy's

In my opinion Eminem's "Recovery" should have won album of the year. I really do not have a preference towards any of the artists that were nominated, but I also have not listened to a whole new album that is from this year to have anything to compare to. My judgement is based off: the fact that I listen to and enjoy three of the tracks off "Recovery", I do not like Lady Gaga at all, I have never heard of Lady Antebellum or Arcade Fire, and I have only ever heard one of Kate Perry's songs. Maybe if I listened to more new music my opinion would change, but for now, in my honest opinion, most new artists suck. They all can make music, but only a few tracks from an album are any good. Thank god for P2P networks. I don't think I would ever pay for a whole album of that music. My preference lies with the classic rock artists and a about four bands that have been formed after the year 2000. Unfortunatley the bands of old don't often make new albums, and I haven't had time to aquire an album from 2010 from the others. So if I were awarding the Grammy's, it would not have been "Best Ablum Of The Year" goes to Eminem's "Recovery", it would have been, "And winner of "Best Of The Worst Albums" goes to EMINEM, for sucking the least."

Doritos

The Flavour Master raises her hands and wind whistles through the chamber. The walls explode outwards into space. The chip makers cover their heads as both chips rise up and spiral together in a blinding nova of light. The chips spiral faster & tighter until they meet in a BANG and burst of lightning. When the old man opens his eyes the Flavour Master is smiling, holding his chip. Congratulations

Onions & Ketchup is destroyed.

Picture Worth a Thousand Words

Sheer beauty. A world beneath our own that few get to see. In the depths of the waters lie marvelous places. I love to Scuba dive. It is one of my passions. There are countless sights that just make your jaw drop, figuratively of course, because if you did that underwater you would most likely drown. The types of formations you get to see and swim through leave you in awe. Walls of coral hundreds of feet high, shipwrecks, caves, and cenotes. The colors swirl around, brilliant blues, reds, yellows, all mixing, making vivid creations.

Then there is the feeling. Its not quite like swimming. You dont have to hold your breath or try to stay down. You can just float, suspended in the water. The currents can move around you. Its is like being on the most comforable bed ever made. You be in any posistion and stay in it until you choose. I imagine astronauts would have the same feeling in space. Floating upside down in circles, not caring which way is up. One has to experiance it to know what it really feels like, and the calm that comes with it.

There are few places left that still maintain this type of environment. Places where you can go and be surrounded by nothinng but beauty, with nobody to come and interupt you. Where the daily chores and responsibilies of life seem to evaporate, leaving you with nothing but a feeling of calm amazement. To me it is truely wonderful to experiance time and time again. Alone, nothing but the fish for company. Surrounded by undescribable beauty. The real world is a hundred feet above your head. All your left with is.. freedom.
