It's nice to finally be back home and I'm planning a lot of meet ups with close and lost friends. I'm really enjoying life right now. Yesterday I headed over to Surrey and got to check out their new library branch (I believe it's called Central or something). I borrowed a lot of books on graphic arts (which I'm really starting to love) and even a compendium of The Walking Dead comics. To be really specific, I got books on dramatic effects in Photoshop, a classroom in a book about Fireworks, and a nice book about After Effects. I can't wait to get cracking on those books, especially the Fireworks one (I guess I'm leaning from coding to graphic arts).
Really glad I got to go to Michigan and the United States overall. I learned a lot of things there that I'm sure I will really benefit from in life. It's just a few more days until school is here though, so I'm also apprehensive about that.
I'm starting quite a few projects. I'm going to replicate The Settlers Of Catan in a 3D wooden version, build a rabbit hutch, possibly construct a smoke house, start a new website this time with actual foundation and goals planned, and overall, enjoy life. Mini projects I consider worthwhile to tell include a custom typography desktop background. I'm also looking to work out on a daily basis. I also started an online book that I'm planning to release publicly as a work in progress.
I'm just excited to get a chance to refresh and put everything that I disliked in the past.
I've Been Waiting To Breathe
It seems these past days I've just been holding my breath in. It's nice to be able to finally share everything that's been going on. To summarize my Michigan trip, I travelled to Chicago, West Bloomfield, Detroit, Jersey City, New York, Ottawa, Windsor, and Denver. Most of my time was spent in Michigan while I also spent three days in New York and two nights in Ottawa. I met a lot of new people and had loads of adventures. I did a series of recreational activities, such as fishing, canoeing, starting fires, smoking salmon, and swimming (not to mention night swimming, a completely epic experience where you go out at midnight to swim). My skin is riddled with mosquito bites and I've gained a few pounds. There. That's 20 days of my vacation packed into a paragraph.
I'm a 10. I feel great. The vacation was a great break. The thing about today's quote though, is that I saw it when I passed by a van that was completely filled with writing. The writing seemed to be about a man who was participating in a marathon. Of course, I may be completely wrong. But this quote, is completely mysterious to me. I don't know who wrote it or why it was written. I just know that it may be one of the simplest yet complex quotes in the world.
"Life is the classroom, love is the lesson."
