This is the "fat ballerina"
I drew her when I was 6 years old, and haven't been able to draw anything better since,
All ballerinas where skinny and I thought it was kind of unfair for fatter people, It's discrimination!
The ideas you get when you are a child... :)

Where does the creativity of a child goes? How do we do to keep it?

Bread


This is a video, with music by CharlieIsSoCoolLike and the animation by Ed Stockham. They are both around 20 years old and are supper talented, you should check out their YouTube channels. It is amazing how when young people are passionate about something they can make unbelievable stuff.
Good lord i feel old speaking like that! They are older then me!
The thing is i've been looking for a passion for quite a while now and i dream of being able to do stuff like that.
Maybe i will try to do a little animation or stop-motion during the winter break if i have the time :)
Anyways enjoy the song it is absurd but that's why we like it!

Montréal - Plateau Mont-Royal


My Favorite place in Montreal :)
Go see this YouTube channel, they Project the view of Montreal I have. It is not the "historical" part of the city, they show the view the REAL city.
They also have a website: http://www.tourisme-montreal.org/blog/
Go check it out, it's worth it. And come visit us, you will not regret it :)

Terre de nos aieux!

Did i ever mention how much i love Canada ? 
It often makes me sad when i  hear how little the world know about this bioutifull country.
We don't even have a nice stereotype!
A guy in a red shirt that cuts wood? La police montee (police on horses)?
Not even close!

I believe it is time for a little cultural exploring!

It is cold in Canada, i agree but we have about 3-4 months of winter. It means we have seasons! Fall is awfully pretty, the color range from yellow to dark purple. Spring makes everyone so happy! I believe in florida people do not appreciate their weather. The moment there is a little sun, EVERYONE goes outside.
Those few times it rains and the rain freezes on the bare trees and makes everything look like glass are simply magical. It is orgasm for the eyes!

We Canadians are very polite. Even maybe too much. If you bump into me on the street, I will automatically say sorry. Why should i be sorry? I did not do anything wrong. But i will say sorry. Sometimes cars at intersections will get stuck waiving their hands:
-"You go first" 
-"No, YOU go first".
 We sure need trafic lights.

We are multicultural. It may be because of this abondance of cultures that we do not have a defined stereotype, identity.
 -"Where are you from?"
- "I am Canadian"
-"No, really, where are you from?"
Saying you are Canadian in Canada often makes people laugh. Like every country, we have our problems with the immigrants but I think we are doing pretty well. My closest friends are French, Chinese, Bulgarian, Russian, Indian, Egyptian...You name it!

AND WE ARE NOT LIKE AMERICA. 

John Stewart's rally to restore sanity? No need, we are already sane for the most part :)


Did I mention I love MONTREAL even more? But one blog post will not be enough.

My First Time

I was going home after seeing friends but i realized i had no money to pay for a ticket.
I kinda tried to pass without paying with my friend but OOH NO! we got arrested by the metro police. 
They gave the a 118$ fine to pay. Am i the only one to find that ridiculous? It is waaay too much.
And i forgot to mention they gave me a 50% discount because i am underage. 
240$ seems a little too much for this kind of thing.
And the sadest part is that i don't think i really deserve it! I did stuff that was so much stupider without any consequences even if i got caught. Say "I WILL NEVER DO IT AGAIN" is usually the worst thing that could happen! 
I get it it was really stupid, i don't even know why i tried to pass without paying, I should have asked my parents to come pick me up. 
 But why do they think i have money to pay for a 118$ ticket if i don't even have the money to pay for a 2$ ticket?!
But now i can say i got my first ticket :)
I don't even know how to pay for it.... and how to tell my parents.
I wonder how mad they will be :S 
I ve never really done stupid stuff (they found out about) so I don't know how they are when they are mad.
OH MY GOD I AM SO STRESSED OUT. 
Maybe they will never find out if I am lucky enough to get the letter the "metro police" is going to send.
