Evenin' ladies and gents.

I've decided - during a lovely Manitoban thunderstorm - that I am going to document my summer, maybe even a whole year. It's a hobby, nothing real serious. I have a decent camera so I'll eventually post new videos, youtube most likely. I don't know if you can post video on deviantArt but we'll see.

It will be journal format, saying "June 26 2009 and subject etc. etc.", and then detailing the day or what's happening. It's more interesting than it sounds. In fact, I'm hoping to document what this generation/year does, and what's the coolest stuff out there, for historical purposes. Imagine, decades or centuries from now what if they found my video? They'd have a first-hand account of what it was like back then (2009). That's why I keep written journals as well, plus it's a view into a girls mind in the 2000's. I love reading stuff like that so somebody else will too.

Documenting the Winnipeg Folk Festival will be the more interesting thing, since it's one of my favorite things. And Xavier Rudd will be there! One of my favorite musical artists! He's so good, an Australian one-man band, he sings about the environment, human rights, equality, that sort.


Other "news"...

If you haven't seen The Island, go rent it now. It's a brilliant movie about human rights, human being/existence and consciousness. What makes a person a person, what makes them alive like us? In that case, what makes them human?

It's a great movie, really.

Which begs me to ask a question to anyone who reads this, or reads this far (it's okay, I know about attention spans )...

What do you think defines human nature? Meaning, what characteristics, traits, quirks, etc. do you believe makes us human. What defines us? What makes us different from all the rest?

That's the question I'm working out, and I find it absolutely fascinating.

I may just become a philosopher.

But they don't get paid well do they?
