Super Arrow: The Dream Lives

The beauty from ww.superarrow.ca/

Personalty, I believe that the Super Arrow, even if it may be just a dream of many Canadians including myself, it is the best choice for the future of Canadian aviation as well as Canadian defense. Just like when the Arrow was first developed in the 50's, the Super Arrow would be a much better choice than the F-35. Much cheaper, better specifications and a Canadian aircraft that would be built by Canadians, even the idea can make one drool.

While it might be true it is just a dream now, this is how all great things start.

Goodbye Lucas Arts...

I still cannot believe the news. Ever since I was a child, Lucas Arts has been such an influential company in my life. From creating the Star wars franchise with a bundle of classic games and Lego, etc... To Indiana Jones to even amazing advancements in media technology, Lucas Arts being shut down after being recently acquired by Disney is truly a heart stopper to people around the world.

The first real time I experienced Lucas Arts was my N64 with Star Wars: Rouge Squadron. The games continued after that, and it gave me a real insight into the world of Sci-fy and its many worlds and places where it's creators can take you. I really do find it sad that this remarkable group of people and ideas is being shut down by Disney. Angry Lucas Arts fans all around the world cry for this developers sad departure.

What are your fondest memories of LucasArts? Share your thoughts bellow!

Remember your friends...

Remember your friends, every night and day,
They can get you out of a pickle, well, that's what they say,
Through the good and the bad, the ugly and the fun,
Remember who your friends are, and they will remember you, as much as the sun.

Share the goals and dreams, the loves and fame,
But never forget the friend who gets you there in this game,
Friends help solve problems and are honest with you,
They want you to succeed, and you should hope for them too.

When your high in the sky, and living your life,
Never turn your back on a friend, or sharpen the knife,
Jealousy, greed, hate are easy to fall to,
Don't do it, don't look at it, please, I plead to you.

Cherish and love your friends every single day,
It's true that some friends go, but still, many stay,
Never throw them in the trash, I warn you,
Friends are a special part of life, maybe even a gift too.

Running

Running is personally one of my favorite hobbies/sports (yes, I believe it is a sport, especially cross country running) It truly is a magical feeling when you introduce running into your daily routine, and it incredibly rewarding when you reach personal milestones in distance, times and other self-created goals.

It really is one of the best metaphors for "practice makes perfect." Starting off with one kilometre when I was twelve, I can now run above twenty kilometres in a fairly decent time at an age of seventeen. It really is amazing what a little bit of hard work can do.

Running can be a true joy in life, and can help you get stress off of your chest, while giving you some "me time" and a rush of endorphins to give you that "feel happy" feeling. Running helps with physical health, as well as mental and spiritual health. Especially when you reach one of your goals.

While also being an amazing way to meet new people, it really is a fantastic way to vent, and an easy way to have some fun too. I love to run.

Iceland: Canada's turn to be the sheild

Picture and article here

As a Canadian, I am truly proud of our brave men and woman in our Canadian Armed Forces. This is just another contribution to NATO, yet the pictures still give an amazing emotion of what it is to be a Canadian.Iceland does not have their own military, so it relies on the various NATO nations to take shifts to protect its borders. Now it is Canada's turn. This is just a subtle reminder how important Canada really is to NATO, as well as the world. From Afghanistan, to Iceland to even here at home, the men and woman in CADPAT serve to make a better world. Here is a "Thank you" from a fellow Canadian!

Kid millionairs! WHAT!?

Good article on the National Post

I just think that the entire idea is amazing. Teens being able to become millionaires has defiantly been an interesting topic as of recently (see national Post link above) and yet one may ask how? It is simple: technology. As new and younger generations grow, they have the absolute knowledge of the technology that they grow up with. They know nothing else. Honestly, I would personally not know what the world would be like without computers, or even the Internet, but the opposite could be said about my parents.

Ideas such as tolerance, human rights and other positive ideas are also creating a much more better world for chids to share ideas. The societal idea of success can also drive younger generations to reach their goals and create a better world as well. This can be seen through Marc and Craig Kielburger (founders of Free the Children) who, when they were still kids, created one of the most influential children's charities in the world today.

I think it is wonderful how children are having more influence on the world, as well as them selfs, yet I have a feeling I will be saying the opposite when I am thirty years old and my boss is seventeen.
