The butterfly is beautiful, but soon will die // 12.28.08 Update

i realized something this holiday season: family is the most sacred and important thing in the whole wide world.. this isn't something that's only come to me recently, but as i've gotten older, its def starting to mean more and more to me.. i wasn't always the best kid (understatement of the century) and God knows that there aren't too many people more stubborn than i am, so i probably made things a lot more difficult than they had to be growing up.. add to the equation the fact that i always had to do everything i wanted to, and that i've chosen some pretty unusual vocations in my time, and you can pretty much figure out how explosive the entire dynamic was and still is..

my relationship with my parents has generally gotten a lot better since i moved out though, and in these past four years i've grown to appreciate the sacrifices made by my parents a whole lot more.. while i didn't celebrate xmas with anyone this year (i stayed in TO because i've already flown back to Van 4 times this year), i called my mom on Christmas eve, and we ended up having an hour-long conversation about a lot of serious topics.. and for once, we didn't end up screaming at each other at any point (rare).. i guess we both realized that life is too short to let stupid distractions and unnecessary complications get in the way of building on our once-broken relationship. i always say that i'm into photography because i appreciate the beauty often lost in the monotony and chaos of our modern, concrete lives, but now it seems i should learn to take more time to appreciate the various relationships in my life in moment instead of simply charging forward towards immortality as i always do..

and i definitely never thought i'd ever say this out loud even, much less write this on a site, but that conversation was the highlight of my holiday season. tonight, i'm having a late Xmas dinner, and then its off to the races again - shoots & interviews galore until the end of January.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE!

2:41pm, a day in the life..

"The butterfly, the butterfly is beautiful but soon will die
Will spread its wings in the eternal sky

Eternal light with everything that's on its mind
"

- The Last Goodnight, "Imcomplete"


Last week i mentioned that i had a new 'favourite band' - so here it finally is. According to trusty Wikipedia The Last Goodnight is an American group that released their first album in 2007.. I've been playing all their tracks on repeat since i came across their radio single about a month ago, and frankly i'm loving just about everything so you'll def see other tracks of theirs posted in the future..

Can I have your attention please
If you didn't want the garden why did you plant the seed?
Your making promises that you never keep

Now you deal with the consequences down on your knees


And maybe we will do this for the rest of our lives
Maybe we will live forever
And maybe we don't have to think it's right
And maybe we will

[Chorus]
I don't feel what you feel
I don't want to feel this incomplete
No one here can tell me
How to fill this space between
Everyone knows you're my one regret
Everyone knows you're my one weakness

The butterfly, the butterfly is beautiful but soon will die
Will spread its wings in the eternal sky
Eternal light with everything that's on its mind
You'll never believe this

And maybe we will do this for the rest of our lives
Maybe we will live forever
And maybe we don't have to think it's right
And maybe we will

[Chorus]

The butterfly, the butterfly is beautiful but soon will die
Will spread its wings in the eternal sky
Eternal light with everything that's on its mind
You'll never believe this
And I can see you now reaching out for me
And I can feel you now setting yourself free

[Chorus]

And maybe we will do this for the rest of our lives
Maybe we will live forever
And maybe we don't have to think it's right
And maybe we will

The butterfly, the butterfly is beautiful but soon will die
Will spread its wings in the eternal sky

Eternal light with everything that's on its mind

You'll never believe this

Usher - "Will Work For Love" Lyrics


Can you help me?
Anybody out there help me
Please can you help me?

Excuse me mister
I fell on hard times
I need some help
But don't need a dime
Don't turn away
I'll wash your clothes
If you let me stay
(I'll) find your remote,
Day after day
People walk by
I can't catch their eye
I hold up my sign

It says
Will work for love
I will I will I will I'll work for love
Overtime baby
It says will work for love
I will I will I will I'll work for love
For all my life
I will work for love

Can you help me? (help me)
Anybody out there help me (if there's anybody out there)
Please can you help me?
Excuse me you two
Got love to spare?
Search my whole heart
It ain't none in there
What makes a star
I'm on my last
Don't have no love
That's okay God blessed
Day after day
People walk by now
I can't catch their eyes
Holding up my sign

It says
Will work for love
I will I will I will I'll work for love
Overtime baby
It says will work for love
I will I will I will I'll work for love
For all my life
I will work for love

I remember the day I lost my heart (hey yeah)
Took it for granted I went too far
Fall down, crying and beg
To feel that love again
I'll Hold this sign till the very end
Do anything

I will will I will I'll work for love,
Overtime baby
It says will work for love
I will will I will I'll work for love
For all my life
I will work for love
... for you.

Late Night Alumni - "Empty Streets" Lyrics

The city feels clean this time of night
Just empty streets and me walking home
To clear my head
i know it came as no surprise
I'm affected more than I had guessed
By what was said-then

If this loves not meant to be
If a hearts not ready to open
If the naked eye won't see
It's broken.

it's a quiet time before the dawn
And I'm half past making sense of it
Was I wrong?
Should I think to give it all-should i claim to give it all?
In a world where not much ever seems
To last long.

If this loves not meant to be-if this love is not meant to be,
If a hearts not ready to open-if the hearts not ready to open
If the naked eye won't see-if we make it i won't see
It's broken.

Nelly Furtado - "All Good Things" Lyrics


Honestly what will become of me
don't like reality
It's way too clear to me
But really life is dandy
We are what we don't see
Missed everything daydreaming

[Chorus:]
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Traveling I only stop at exits
Wondering if I'll stay
Young and restless
Living this way I stress less
I want to pull away when the dream dies
The pain sets in and I don't cry
I only feel gravity and I wonder why

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Dogs were whistling a new tune
Barking at the new moon
Hoping it would come soon so that they could
Die die die die die

Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
Flames to dust
Lovers to friends
Why do all good things come to an end
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to end?
come to an end come to an
Why do all good things come to an end?

Well the dogs were barking at a new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon
And the sun was wondering if it should stay away for a day 'til the feeling went away
And the sky was falling on the clouds were dropping and
the rain forgot how to bring salvation
the dogs were barking at the new moon
Whistling a new tune
Hoping it would come soon so that they could die.

Brooklyn, We Go Hard // 12.22.08 Update

it's been a long time since i've written. i could bring up very logical reasons why i haven't been writing (like my insanely-busy schedule) but truly, i just haven't been in the mood to write for a while. on a daily basis, i put myself out there on a platter in one way, shape or form and every day, others (though it may not be many) look upon my life and make observations/judgments or take inspiration from it.. and for the past few months, i've been so focused on making positive changes within my companies as well as in my personal life that i just wanted a break from sharing my thoughts as well as my life.

it isn't a matter of regretting the career/life choices i've made thus far, nor does it reflect a shift in my approach towards marketing for any of our companies. i just haven't been up to it.

if i had to put it to words, i'd have to say i've enjoyed the past four or so months since i returned to Toronto from my last Vancouver trip.. i've re-settled my mind and my objectives a fair bit, and i've been learning not to always put so much pressure and expectation on myself. (that being said, i don't think it's possible for me to ever not work hard on or pursue something i believe in, so until i'm absurdly rich, the 18-hr work days will continue.)

in the past three months, i've learned a lot about myself (as i always do) and i've met a lot of great new friends, many of whom have inspired me to continue to push towards surpassing my own expectations, and some who will undoubtedly remain integral parts of my life for years to come. work has been incredibly positive, as we've begun implementing new initiatives on our existing projects as well as branching towards our upcoming projects.

none of that has any part to do with why i'm suddenly writing again though. my manager's been asking me to resume these entries for over a month, but today, i feel like writing. i think i've been blessed with the opportunity to lead the life i lead, and not a day goes by where i don't realize the work my parents and ancestors had to put in for my life (as i know it) to have even been possible. beyond that, i think i'm even more fortunate to have the opportunity to share myself with others whenever i choose to, as not everyone has the audience that i do, and it humbles me to see that others (few as they may be) still continue to read about and be receptive of my life and thoughts.

i just finished working my 3rd consecutive club night of a long and very very interesting weekend, and having taken a few hours to relax, eat and generally unwind, i'm again ready to take on another week - Happy Holidays everyone!

8:11am, a day in the life..

______________________________________

"This is black hoodie rap,

There’s no fear in my eyes where they’re lookin at."

- Jay-Z, "Brooklyn We Go Hard"

i was originally thinking of writing about my favourite new band, but the context of my favourite song from them wouldn't have matched my mood at the moment, so here it is instead - Jay-Z's unapologetic reminder to the rap world that he, the Jigga man, is still the boss, and Brooklyn is what he reps. not a lot else to say - Hova still comes with the clever quips that are his trademark, and Santogold (who?!) is the perfect compliment to the track; this joint kills it.

(Jay-Z)
This is black hoodie rap,
There’s no fear in my eyes where they’re lookin at.
betta look a map
be-sides me not like ta eye fight
me not think such a ting is worth a man’s life, right!
but if a man tests my style,
I promise he won’t like my reply
boom bye bye, like Buju I’m crucial
I’m a Brooklyn boy, I may take some gettin’ used to
change snatchin, ain’t have it, gotta get it
same itd from Brownsville to Bain bridge
fatherless child, mama pulled double shifts
so the number runners was the only one to hang widdeth
before u know it, i’m in the game bang fiddeth
feel no orang utans pid-eel kid-aps like orangeses, i’m dangerous
Please tell me what the name of this

B-R-O-O-K ... L-Y-N come again!
B-R-O-O-K ... L-Y-N come again!

(Jay-Z)
I father, I Brooklyn Dodger them
I Jack, I Rob, I sin, I man, I’m Jackie Robinson
‘cept when I run base, I dodge the pen
Lucky me, Luckily they didn’t get me
Now when I bring the Nets I’m the black Branch Ricky
From Brooklyn corners, burnin branches of sticky
Spread love, Biggie, Brooklyn hippie
I pity the fool with jewels like Mr. T
with no his-story, in my borough, they borrow
With no intentions of returning tomorrow
The Sun don’t come out for many, like Annie
half orphan, mama never had an abortion
papa sorta did, still I managed to live
I go hard, I owe it all to the crib
now please tell me what the f@#k harder than this?

B-R-O-O-K ... L-Y-N come again!
B-R-O-O-K ... L-Y-N come again!

(Santogold)
Well I’m doin my time due to circumstance
Crossed that bridge, face the consequence
Once bid 10, now I payed my dues
Risk takers we break the rules.
Gets so dark, but I see good.
Bedstuy stay high in my neck of the woods.
Now let it rain now, it’s a warning
Brooklyn let it be sworn in
Gotta make you think workin like we blue collar
rip it to the core, underneath it all we harder
right until we quit, bring it to the floor
One step, one step, give it up more
the road is rough and the streets a mess
got big cash dreams and a sick death wish
robbin out the commercial stash
to kill the voice screamin in my head

Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard
Brooklyn we go hard, we go hard

The Fray - "Fall Away" Lyrics


You swear you recall nothing at all
That could make you come back down
You made up your mind to leave it all behind
Now you're forced to fight it out

You fall away from your past
But it's following you
You fall away from your past
But it's following you

You left something undone, it's now your rerun
It's the one you can't erase
You should have made it right, so you wouldn't have to fight
To put a smile back on your face

You fall away from your past
But it's following you
You fall away from your past
But it's following you
You fall away
You fall away

Something I've done that I can't outrun
Something I've done that I can't outrun
Maybe you should wait maybe you should run
But there's something you've said that can't be undone

And you fall away from your past
But It's following you
You fall away from your past
But It's following you
You fall away from your past
But It's following you
You fall away from your past
But It's following you

[x3]
You fall away
It's following you
