Marguerite Jasmin's site

I have a new tenant. Who I think is awesome (might possibly have something to do with the fact that she voted for my logo, hint, hint ;-) today’s your last day). Another aspect which shows me she's cool is that she's also a Firefox supporter. She is using her blog to meet people from around the world. Check out her posts and say Hi, especially those of you who are from SA. If you can, say you’re visiting from my blog.

fresh and awake

I feel so fresh and awake this morning, (no it’s not because it’s payday). I think has to do with the general zero stress in my life right now. I can’t really complain: no dept, have a nice place with a pool and South African summer is here, about to have my holiday from work in two weeks. So generally life is cool, don’t get me wrong it has room for improvement but for now I’m all good. Hope you guys have an awesome day.

Thoughts while creasing my pillow

In this quagmire we call life what are really searching for, a question asked by every person who lives long enough to really grasp how vast the world, knowledge, science, GOD is.

Each of us are trying to just get through today, make the best of it, catch a few laughs along the way, if we are lucky get to spend some of our day with someone we love. But in the dead of night when we go to bed and create creases along our pillows, we are essentially alone with our thoughts and it is then that we (well I do anyway) contemplate what we are really trying to find, attain or learn.

As a person who loves learning new things I hope it is to acquire a clearer perception of the patterns that happen in my environments i.e. socialistically, scientifically and in my beliefs. In the Christian belief (as far as I humbly see) it is to see all of his works and truly understand the magnificence of them and thus worship GOD.

Personally I am not a fan of reading the bible ( I know ,I know, the shame) but I really find the way it is written slow and most of it is reiteration of the same concepts in different forms i.e. Love everyone and all that that entails(hard one, that one). Personally I am more for getting through the day and be able to say at the end of it that I lived it with honor and that the world (ok the tiny spectrum of my world for now) is a little better because I got up this morning.

I want to know the real purpose of this experience we call life is? Is it a learning camp for something? If so why are people put in such different camps i.e. the daughter of a billionaire or the son of starving Ethiopian refuge. These two examples will have very different perceptions of life and it’s meaning if you were to ask them why they were given life what would there answer be, and which do you think is most grateful for each breath.

Personally I’m very thankful for my life and that I have the capacity to see the magnificence of the design of the world around me from the way the human physiology works to the ubiquitous Fibonacci numbers. But still I lie there making creases wondering why? Really what is the end purpose? Why this methodology of such vastly different lives?

Why does is it take so many generations to learn how truly intricate each aspect of our universe is. Why do I get to know things that a hundred years ago was not even dreamt of and of course the opposite being true of why don’t I get to know what will be common knowledge in a hundred years. Well maybe we aren’t meant to know as I have heard so many people say but I find that so excruciatingly frustrating but then we are a young species with such little knowledge of our world and terrible responsibility with it so I guess God is saying “I’ll tell you when your older son”.

All the guys say it with me.....OOOOWWWWW

Quest

Made this in Photoshop CS no reason in particular just felt like it.

Illustrator CS or 10

A designer friend and I are trying to learn Illustrator since it has great compatibility with Corel and Freehand in its AI format and obviously with its Adobe brother Photoshop. We can’t find where or how to emboss an object which is a reasonably common function in vector programs. If you could mail me a tutorial on how to do that as well as any others on illustrator that are cool it would be appreciated.

Twin Engine Trouble

I was flying between Toronto and Ottawa. It's only a 9 minute flight and so, to save money, I flew with a small airline in a little, twin-engine plane. About two minutes into the flight the pilot announced that we were going to have to turn back due to some engine trouble.

The nervous passenger I was seated next to turned to me and said, "Oh-h-h m-m-my G-g-god. If we l-l-loose an engine, how f-f-far d-d-do you think the other o-o-one will t-t-take us?"

I told him, "One engine? Oh, I'm sure it'll take us all the way to the scene of the crash. Hell, we'll probably make good time too. I bet we beat the paramedics there by at least a half hour!"
