kairos

Last year I had the privilege of watching Praise Team’s annual presentation.  I took some shots here and there and came out with this.

I had the same privilege this year again,  but instead, I got to see most of it through a lens.

Their show was called Kairos.

The vocals were tight as always.

The dancing was energetic and passionate.

It wasn’t tough to capture all these and the raw emotion that seemed to flow naturally from each of the individuals.

I’ll let the photos talk now.

By the way, that’s my cousin in the 3rd shot.  She’s awesome.

thanks everyone

It’s mildly depressing that my last post was about the good part of the Canucks playoff run.

In other Canucks news, word is that Mikey Gillis is on his way/already in Sweden to resume talks with the twins and their agent JP Barry to get them back in Whale-C jerseys.

I digress.

What I’m really here to talk about is the gratitude I wish to express to everyone that took the time to say something, type something, text something, anything something to me on the anniversary of the day I first existed as an individual.

What you don’t know is that I took the time to write something about each person in my Moleskine in response to everyone of you with the intent of posting it as a blog.  After the sixth page of writing–which, mind you, was the halfway mark of everyone–I wanted to keep it in the Moleskine.

However, to sum up what it said on a less personal, more global scope I want to say the following.  I value the contribution that everyone has put into me, small and large.  Without a shadow of a doubt, I can say how each one of you has impacted my life and perspective, all for the better.  To take that a little bit further, each one of you has made an impression on me, from which the impact, I hope, will be paid forward.

As a segue from self to anything but self, a happy birthday to my sister Ji.

Photoblog is coming up.  I am the toughest critic of my own work.

Happy Monday everyone!

That is all. (=

government proves t4 not a lucrative investment

Due to the fact that the primary stakeholder went to an educational institution in 2008, the Government of Canada has decided that its investment in the T4 (Tim Trying To Travel) fund is not as good an investment as it initially thought it was.  That’s not to say that the Government of Canada has completely withdrawn its donation.  The amount to be given is not as sizable as it was projected to be.  As a result, stringent controls on current funds are to be put in place for the goals of the fund to be reached on the timeline provided.

When reached for comment, the primary stakeholder of the fund said this on the record:

It’s unfortunate that it took a turn in this direction.  But as the old saying goes, you have to play the cards that you’re dealt.

He then was hurried away by his one bodyguard–it may have been his mom or his sister–into his Toyota Camry and sped off (sped off is obviously a relative term).
