I'm a little tired with the software on Blogger but I'm not sick of you guys.

JOURNALISM WORK

School is my worst enemy now.
School is totally getting on my nerves. And I'm really worried about this semester.
Here I thought having two days would be a lot easier for me to get work done and get a job. But nooo, I still don't have a job and I'm still buried in homework. In addition to this, the prospects of my marks this year don't look so great.
So now I guess there is only one way to improve from my silly mistakes. Today I had a french dictee which I don't think I did well on. To top that off, online journalism, which should be an easy course, is completely screwing with me. Making silly grammar mistakes are costing me a good mark!
Stop procrastinating. Stop going on the computer. Take classes more seriously (even though they are a bit of a joke) and work work work.
Clearly, I have no life. I must score amazingly well on this week's news quiz and my Storify assignment!

Appreciating the work. Not the person.
My friends and I were having a discussion yesterday about film director Woody Allen.
For those of you who might not know this about him, he is infamous for marrying his step-daughter (well, adopted daughter of his ex-wife Mia Farrow).
This obviously leaves a creep factor for Allen, but I can't really deny his talent.
As scandalous as it is, I can see why people refuse to watch his films just because of this fact. But why can't people just see a piece of work for what it is? Allen is getting nominated/recognized for his work, not his personal life!
It's understandable not to pay for a film. But it is a bit silly to dislike something just because of the person behind it. ENJOY the piece of art! Not the person!!
Does this make sense?
So my point is: even though I am weirded out by Woody Allen, I think he is an extraordinarily talented writer/director.
And for that, I actually thank him for making a film that has solidified itself onto my top 20 list (if not top 10).

Thoughts. Thoughts. Thoughts
I realize that I manage WAY too many blogs and am planning to cancel a few of them.
I was thinking about quitting Tumblr…but then I realized how much of an impact some opinions can have that they end up going viral.
I also enjoy following blogs such as The Daily What and the National Post to get weird tidbits about the world.
I guess what I’m saying here is that Tumblr can influence people to think differently. But first we gotta stop spamming people with the same memes…
I was thinking: should I close my Blogspot? I mean, personal blogging just seems so…vapid (only some of them). But then again, it is nice to write something that’s a bit more personal, informal and generate a discussion.
On another note, I was thinking of making short little film. By short, I mean two-five minutes long. I don't really know what it will be about...but I hope it can turn out awesome!
And of course, I would have to focus on homework first...(HAH, what is SCHOOL?!)
In addition this this, I am also planning to get more broadcast experience. Sadly, I live in Toronto. And even though opportunities seem endless, there are also a lot of people seeking the same types of jobs. Nonetheless, I am willing to freelance. So if you got some projects, hit me up!! My number is...416...(nah, just kidding!).
I realize this is getting really pointless. But if you like these stream of consciousness type of posts, I hope you may be loyal enough to stick around!
And as I leave, here is a video of an awesome kid with a lot of swag.
