Flickr, Flickr, Flickr, how long I have not been on Flickr.

Its been like a millenia because I have just been so flippin busy, all of the time, I am either sleeping, worrying, or have been just freaking out, about everything. But hopefully with summer coming and schools end near by, my photography can have more time with me again, and with the regeneration of my MCL, which is the inside ligament of your knee, perhaps walking everywhere will become more normal.  Here is my Flickr page if you want to look at my photography, seeing as I am not all that regular of a blogger.

Enjoy. Let me know what you think on my blog, feel free to leave comments :D

There are around 20 some days left till the end of school, and then on to finals. I don't know what to think, on one hand, I am so ready to be over with school for the year, yet at the same time, I still have so much to do before the end of the year. Went to YC this past weekend, it was awesome, and fun, other than the noise, crowds and weather. It was freezing, actually ended up snowing. Alberta, what can you do! Saw Skillet, Thousand Foot Krutch, Disciple, and Tenth Avenue North! Loved hearing Tenth Av. live, Skillet and TFK are always good live, even though they are glaringly loud, and I am not a huge fan of Disciple.

*~ Timing ~*

where be time
and where be the markings
of each timeless passing
of times many workings
time is something noticed
but only its effects
time can not be grasped or held
nor kept within ones pocket

What is time
what does it say
times whispered voices say
that time is time alone
time will heal
time will bring
and time will surely take away

Time has a past
and time has a future
but no one can tell what will come
time helps forget its far and close past
but it also brings the past much closer
Time brings closure
and joy
it brings endings
and pain

Time is the reason that all things must end
and new things have a chance to begin
time is a reason we have yet to hope
that more is to come for us soon
that this is not all for nothing
and that there is a reasoning for everything.

time is good
time can feel bad
and time is not always a friend
I miss what time takes
and I am thankful for what it brings
but I am hoping for the healing of time.

Shamrock Jeonty O'Grady

Yesterday was a very difficult day for me, because we had to put our 14 yr old Glen of Imall Terrier to sleep. Shamrock, or Shammy, just suddenly was unable to eat anymore, and her arthritis had become very painful for her. We took her to the vet twice this weekend, hoping there would be something we could do for her, but it seemed that her time was drawing up, and we didn't want to see her starve. She had lost her spunk, she, until this weekend had not been her age, very energetic for a fourteen year old girl, wagging her tail uncontrollably. So when she wasn't running for the door, or getting all excited, or eating food offered to her, we knew something was up. Yesterday, we said goodbye for the last time.

In June we will be taking her ashes up to perhaps powder face or another mountain for her last hike, she loved the mountains, and because she was getting older didn't get to go on our long excursions this last year, her arthritis, and she was just older, and got tired easier. We are going to scatter her ashes where she would enjoy most, and it just hurts inside to think that she wont be able to go up there herself.

I am leaving for Whistler B.C tomorrow with our senior band for our year band trip, I am excited and nervous at the same time. Hopefully everything works itself through, and that we all play to our optimum potential. I am sad that I will be missing the backdoor, along with Sunday school and church, but I am also excited for the trip, and I think it is needed. I will however miss Finnegan, I am feeling really attached to him now.

Unfortunatly

I no longer use my gmail account, and I have forgotten the password, and the password question for my account. This email was used for my blog, and I am now no longer able to access my old blog, so here I am starting again. Firstly, let me just say that I am not the most patterned person, and when I say this, I mean I am not someone who has a routine, a very strict routine, and my mood fluctuates, and what I feel like doing, and am in the mood for, along with it. So don't expect me to blog every single day. 

I do consider myself a photographer, however I a going through I slightly frustrating creativity block, and well, its very frustrating. I have been going out and taking shots, but I just have not been getting products that I m happy with, and I am also starting to get very frustrated with my camera. 

I am, and I say this with all possible excitement without blowing my head off, leaving for Mexico Hermosilio in 4 days, yes 4 days exactly. I will be gone for 2 weeks, yes 2 weeks, and I am going with 12 other people, all of whom I consider my friends. Twelve people from my youth group are going to Mexico,  including me, both of our leaders are coming as well. We will be staying with a missionary couple from our church, and will be staying at the church they run in Hermosilio. For the first week we will be spending time with the youth group there and get to know them, and I have been told that we will be kept busy. The second week both youth groups will be working together at a orphanage. We will be hanging out with the children there. I am so excited, this weekend however, I have to finish a French Proj, buy simple, modest clothes for Mexico, and then I have to go to our last fundraiser for the trip. Oy! But all is good.

I leave on the 30th, around noon, I also have to go to school for only the first period to present a project that my friend has kindly taken over for me, and then its back home, and then off to the church where all of us meet up and head for the airport.

Life is good. Life is crazy. Life is Life
