quit your swining, swine baby

Rainy day again. I was watching the news about Swine Flu last night. Creepy stuff. I started thinking to myself. 1. Good thing I didn't go to Mexico 2. Who did go to Mexico that I've hung out with and could contaminate me and kill me? Hopefully I'm safe.

Last night I sat on the couch and and started drawing a comic strip. It's Elsa Cohen's Adventures in Super Blogging. I'm working on it. Here's a first sketch for now...I also took some time to read old stuff I wrote. I hope you enjoy it. I thought all these things when I was 15. I still think it's important to be yourself, I still love McDonald's and you are never to old to play in leaves or snow. Have a great day!

lovage and chocolate sweetness

Lately I've been listening to Lovage thanks to @jaygoldman. The tunes are a cool ass collaborative project headed by Dan the Automator, under his pseudonym "Nathaniel Merriweather" (he made up that name for Handsome Boy Modeling School).Something else I have alot of love for is my bike. I'm hoping to get the baby tuned up this week so I can get riding. This weekend's weather is going to sweet as. Last night I made chocolate brownies with fancy icing for my roomate. She's sweet.

raincoat & wellies and clouds in the sky

Today is cloudy and I've got lots to do. I took these yesterday, they're for you. I've got some things to post later too. Drinking a coffee and feeling neat, I wonder what catering will bring today to eat?

Thank you Daily Challenge for giving me this camera. If you don't know, I won it in their Holiday Do Gooder contest. I love it. It make me very happy to share all kinds of random snipits of my life with the world. Like this little guy:

so what i'm crazy, that gives me freedom

"People will laugh at you because you're different.

You will laugh at them because they're all the same."

This quote came in Twitter post by an experienced blogger I follow on Twitter named John Chow. People have always said "You're crazy" or as I dance by myself in the middle of the dance floor with my arms over my head "That's Casie, she's crazy". For a while I thought, "Oh no, they think I'm crazy" but that was followed by thinking, "no, you are just different and they are all the same." (Yes, I have had this conversation with myself more than once.) I would rather be seen as crazy, than ordinary any day.
As soon as someone says that you are crazy, they really give you the power and freedom of expression to do whatever you want. You can transcend all boundaries of what people consider normal, because they already know you're 'out there'. This motivates me and gives me encouragement.

Stay tuned there is always more here, it comes from somewhere in the universe..

she was full of zeal

I'm really excited for 2009.Time to shine, feeling divine.I love how it rhymes. Shit. Did it again. Crime. Fun.

I had a wonderful day today. Spent the morning sleeping followed by a little breakfast snack and coffee. Had a great visit with the lovely Karrera. I did a little exercise in my room. Proud of myself for getting a jump on the 'New Years I'm gonna start the gym' phenomenon; I feel like I'm ahead of the game and gearing up for summer! Each day that passes is one day closer to summer. I've also gathered up heaps of supplies for the workshop. I have designed some really rad stuff for Spring/Summer 2009. I'm going to be working in the gallery space until it opens in the Spring, inspiring! I'm also stoked because I made a plan for August to join Karrera for Shambhala. Helloooo 2009, the year of opportunity!

you're a star

over capacity!! really?

It's been a hot hot day on Twitter! I've sent a few updates and been monitoring it fairly close today. Seems that there are a heap of active users Tweeting on this chilly Tuesday in Toronto. I was looking for someone when I got a message that Twitter is Over capacity!!

Today I started following The Toronto Star. Great source of news in real time, however, it would be really great if Canada had mobile updates. I really enjoyed getting the mobile updates of people I chose to follow on my phone. I's a shame that in Canada we are so behind the times in technology as well as style!!

miss ya mitch

You know, you can't please all the people all the time... and last night, all those people were at my show.
- Mitch Hedberg

Mitch Hedberd was my favorite comedian. He died late in the evening on March 29, 2005. Due to stage fright and anxiety, he often performed with his glasses on, head down, hair in his face, and sometimes closed his eyes as not to make eye contact. Mitch was known for pointing out when he didn't deliver a joke right and often nodded his head saying "all right." It was often quite funny when he didn't get the reaction he expected and would say something like "That joke's better than you acted" or "That joke was dumb, I am aware of that." He's funny. I wish he was making jokes still. Luckily, he still makes me laugh every time I watch. ♥

be nice to yourself this week

Removing Negative Thoughts

By scanning these letters right to left you connect to the spiritual energy of this name. The meditation is linked to the photo and you can also experience it by connecting here.

A little spiritual tune up from Yehuda:

The month of Scorpio is the perfect time to be reminded of this. We tend to be extra hard on ourselves under the influence of this energy. But at the same time, there is always a little poison in the vaccine. Meaning, if we can learn to be nice to ourselves, even when we are in the throes of self-hatred, we can inoculate ourselves against that inner critic for the rest of the year.

Be nice to yourself this week. You have so many gifts from the Creator that were given to you so you could share them with others. The more you are patient and tolerant of your shortcomings and failures, the more your gifts will come out.

And the more your gifts come out, the better you will feel. Be well. Enjoy your week!

All the best, Yehuda Berg

freddie mercs.

his stage presence
the sweat dripping from his face
as he sings out loud

the way he fights
no time for losers
fame and fortune
mercury and friends

freddie you are my champion
freddie you rock my world



Is this the real life-
Is this just fantasy-
Caught in a landslide-
No escape from reality-

Nerd.

This weekend I stopped into the comic shop near Queen & Bathurst. Didn't pick anything up . I was looking for a comic of my sister, Supergirl. She wasn't there. As I left I was distracted by this logo, NerdGirl Pinups...sounds hot. I went to the site but I didn't see anything nerdy enough for my nerdiness. I was decidedly inspired before I went to the site and wore out my nerdy glasses on Friday night. I'd like to have my own nerdy photo shoot. I came www.nerdgirl.com, a blog by a nerdy girl who likes gadgets. The best nerd girl site I found is www.nerdgirls.com which is uber cool and much hotter. These Superbabes nerd out there.

Fingers Crossed!

This quote has been floating around online and was first heard on National Public Radio (NPR). I think its great. I'm having some friends over to watch history unfold this evening. We've all got our fingers crossed for Obama.

Rosa sat, so Martin could walk…

Martin walked, so Obama could run…

Obama is running, so our children can fly!

WHAT IS M O V E M B E R ?

"Movember (the month formerly known as November) is a moustache growing charity event held during November each year that raises funds and awareness for men's health."

The Movember Foundation was started in Australia in 2004. It is a not for profit, charitable organization that implements a month long event called Movember each year in the month of November. Movember's goal is to raise awareness around men's health issues and raises funds charities chosen by each country involved, focussing primarily on prostate cancer.

These are the facts that scared me most while I was raising my own awareness:

• Every year around 22,300 Canadian men are diagnosed with prostate cancer
• 4,300 die of the disease, making it the number one cancer threat to Canadian men
• Prostate cancer is the most common cancer in Canadian men
• Treated early and effectively, prostate cancer has a cure rate of over 90%.
• 1 in 8 Canadian men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. 1 in 27 will die from it.

Canada's Movember organization is the Prostate Cancer Research Foundation of Canada (PCRFC). They are our main supporters in eliminating and preventing prostate cancer. All funds raised in Canada go straight to the PCRFC.

One day to go for the 56th US Election!! Go Obama!!

CNN is reporting the following for the US Election tomorrow (see image). What an exciting time! I hope and prey Obama wins. It will be a real shame for the US to have old fart McCain in office for the next term. It truly is time for change in the US. Their economy and state of the nation has become such a mess since Bush has been in office (including his investment in the war on Iraq, however, we won't touch on that item!).

I'll be at a pub with friends watching the future of the US unfold!!

Educate yourselves! I'm sharing some interesting facts I found here about the election & candidates:

• Either candidate would become the first president born outside the Continental United States, as Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii and McCain was born at Coco Solo, Panama Canal Zone, a US naval base.
• This 2008 election will mark the first time since the election of John F. Kennedy in 1960 that a sitting Senator will be elected President of the United States.
• The new president elected in 2008 will be the first president in 184 years to take office after multiple consecutive two-term presidential administration (Bush & Clinton)
• McCain would be the oldest U.S. president upon ascension to the presidency at age 72 years
• Barack Obama and John McCain are 24 years and 340 days apart in age.
• The 2008 election marks the first time since the 1928 election in which neither an incumbent President nor an incumbent Vice President ran for their party's nomination in the presidential election
