And the JUNO goes to...

Bust out your victory dance people cause we have a winner! The JUNOS were on recently and I am pretty stoked on how things turned out. To no ones surprise Arcade Fire racked up a bunch of rewards to add to their rapidly filling mantel pieces and Justin Bieber collected a few more trophies as I assumed he would, but what made me smile is that NEIL YOUNG actually won what he deserved to, artist of the year. It gave me some hope about peoples views of music and that these award shows aren't (complete) popularity contests.

On another note, I have to say I AM SO JAZZED on the fact that my buddies SAID THE WHALE WON!! Oh my-lanta I seriously leaped onto the couch , (think Tom Cruise)I am so proud of these guys (and gal) it was brilliant. Our pal Greg Sczebel picked up an award all his own too in the Contemporary Christian genre. The only downside to the night is that my lady Hannah Georgas didn't win in either of her categories but the fact that she was nominated not once, but twice is a huge deal!

It makes me all warm and fuzzy inside to think I have met JUNO WINNERS, and NOMINEES! Kind of rad in my eyes, and to think they have performed in DUNCAN?!? I hope they don't think they are too good for us now :P

Anyways I just had to vent the excitement inside of my body, here is my favourite Greg Sczebel song "Homeland" this version always brings me to tears. The visual is so simple and yet so captivating and you can really just see into Greg's heart and it is a truly genuine moment, THIS IS GOOD! Enjoy it, much love people!

I'm just a lovesick fool....

Ugh it's official the so called "love bug" has bitten and it's gettin itchy folks. I hate it when they text you and then you reply and it takes ages for them to get back to you, it's practically instantaneous people! Like c'mon. My friend D was recently engaged in one of these situations and she was all stoked on the prospect of a possible new boy in her life, until he totally crumpled that hope into a paper ball and tossed in into the garbage can by completely blowing her off. I wonder if that is what God feels like when we ignore Him. Does He pace back and forth, pulling on His hair waiting for us to reply to His text message? Does He freak out when He finally receives a reply and all it says is "K." It kind of changes my whole perspective of the situation. But for now I'm just going to relish in the fact that God never ignores us when we initiate contact, even if that super cute guy does. Damn those biceps, they get me every time.

I'll be there for you, cause you're there for me too...

My body is so filled with excitement right now it's disgusting. My friend and I are about to embark on our own "Most excellent adventure" . Her birthday is coming next week along with her reading break and I booked the whole week off of work so we can initiate what we will refer to as "Super epic birthday week." We intend to re-hash all of our radtastic adventures such as going to Saltspring, Victoria, and a myriad of crazy experiences in between. I am so stoked! You know the type of friend I mean, the one who knows you inside and out, knows just what to say when you need to hear it, and most of all, loves you not for who you are but in despite of who you are. I have many good friends but very few compare to this girl. The thing is, this little lady friend of mine, is really the only one who just "gets" me. We've been buds since the seventh grade but it really wasn't until we graduated that this huge bond grew between us. We have so many memori...

There's a reason that I love this town...

So if you were in Duncan yesterday you would have to agree that it was gorgeous out! Looks like Spring has finally appeared and is trying to stick around. Seriously though I love where I live sometimes. We are surrounded by so much green, lush, nature that I am constantly being reminded of God's glory and infinite beauty. The day would not of been complete without a visit to the Corfield Cafe in the Duncan Garage so I went and ordered some lunch as per usual but this time instead of enjoying the atmosphere inside I took my meal to go. Wandering around I decided to take a seat in this little park wedged between some buildings right down town. Now usually when you walk past there are homeless people scattered all around but today it was vacant and waiting for me. While the sun warmed my back I finished my super delicious meal and made my way into the downtown core to read my book. After a while I started to feel rather lonely. I'm reading "Irresistible revolution" by Sh...
