Isn't she lovely?

So, Earth Day is on Saturday (remember!) March 27th. From 8:30PM to 9:30PM all of your lights, appliances and other miscellaneous objects that require electricity should be turned off. Many people believe that Earth hour every year is a outdated initiative when we sit, for an hour, in the middle ages. This is somewhat true, but in some way it can be pretty cool. Lots of people have got really good ideas on how to make this event fun and memorable while still making you feel all warm and fuzzy inside because you are doing a good deed to the prettiest, and lucky for you boys, the most constant woman in your life; Earth.

It's 'cool' to be eco-friendly! I say cool in inverted commas because we don't want to turn out like those Greenpeace freaks that never shave and smell real bad (cause deodrant is bad!). It's cool caring for something bigger than yourself and your own agenda for an hour. And, after your hour of darkness I hope you feel slightly enlightened and realise isn't she lovely?

Okay, what's on the menu?

These are just a few quotes and famous lines in film I like. I really like quotes. Haha.

What's so beautiful in an action?

I was thinking the other day about how the things we write in things like descriptive essays and so on are so far off from the real truth. If you think about it, it makes no sense why sometimes, we write the things we do. The title here, 'what's so beautiful in an action' is to explain this. When we write about things whether it be happy or sad, horrific or romantic we go into so much detail to describe the setting, the mood, the people involved etc. that the actual storyline is watered down so much and the infinite details surrounding the story become the main attraction. When describing a fight, for example, we use words like; blood, fists, punch, anger, horrible, scared, adrenaline etc. But, when describing everything else around the 'fight' we get carried away, speaking about how the trees shone like misted lights on a cold, frosted night and how my fist trembled ever so slightly as I resisted another punch in my enemy's eye. Thinking about it, the actions we convey are not necessarily beautiful, but maybe the beauty is in the imperfection of how we live everyday and how we view the world around us. It is imperfect and messy. So if the things we do, literally are not beautiful, what is? Is it our thoughts? Our Imagination? Personality? Creativity? Logic? Innovation?

nuova fotocamera - I've got to get clever

(We've all got the disease to please, we've all got the shutterbug fever.)

So, I got a new camera (as a gift actually) and I'm pretty excited about the prospect.
