Is this where the MTV generation is going?

Social change meets gaming.

So I read an article recently that spoke of this kid... a 49 year old, who just created a videogame about being homeless, supposedly teaching kids to about social issues.

I went to the website and played the game. I'm not sure...

Another example of the commodification of a real need?

Are we too "scared" to get the real experience of walking the streets of East Hastings, handing out food and actually, get this, interact with the homeless?

There was actually a conference designed to help tackle/discuss the issue too: Games for Change Conference.

It's a nice attempt but...

Ai... Don't get me started...

comfort foods (Chinese-style)

What's your comfort foods?

Everytime I come home from a trip, mum makes me "gai lan" or what it is sometimes called "chinese broccoli." I'm not sure how it's called that, because it doesn't have flower heads like the "english broccoli!"

Anyhow... that's my fav veggie. Yum.

And then, there's congee (rice porridge--no really, it really is good)... I usually get that soon after too.

Why do I get these "specific" foods?

Because when I come home from being out-of-town... usually...
1) I didn't eat enough veggies and,
2) I'm nearing sick! Yep, my "hot and cold" gets out of whack...

Everytime I return, I have a sore throat of a sort! Blech!

blank slate

Watching the sky change colour is one of the neatest things to do...

A friendly reminder that a fresh start is just over the horizon.

Something irking you?

Just watch the sunrise...

How she breaks through the black and blue...

Offering a fresh perspective, indeed.

Did you rise the sun for me? Or paint a million stars that I might know your majesty.

It gets me every time I think that someone would use the universe as a canopy to create a masterpiece so that I may know him...

I think it's time to go for a drive!

In a few days I can watch the sunrise everyday, amidst the trees and nature...

Now who said me and mother nature can't be one? There's that outdoorsy side somewhere in me, nevertheless, it's very deep, but it's there!
