Feels good to be back...

Alright.... from late Summer through Fall to Winter, the time has come for me to stop blog-hibernating. I've been away for way to long, it seems like I have never returned from my vacation. Its quite odd, that a person can think about something everyday, and yet not take one moment out of their day to allow themselves to partake in that one little activity they enjoy. I think the same occurs when people avoid making the time to invest in their 'future-self'. You can spend everyday occupied with all the little day to day activities that fill up your time, and never really move forward.

For the short time that I have dedicated myself to this blog in the past I felt a great satisfaction with it, so if nobody minds, I think I'm going to continue with it. I think my biggest deterrent until now, was to find one main direction that I want my writing to take, but I just can't decide on one direction. There is way too many things in this world I find interesting. So, just like with many other aspects of my life, I found that you cannot just sit around and wait to get an answer to your confusions and doubts, you have to continue trying anything you can to gain some inspiration. So here I am again...

Since today we welcome the first day of the last month of 2009, here's some precious moments I captured from the Winter early this year, throughout the precious months in between... still anxiously awaiting the first snowfall of this year.

Inspirational and Beautiful

I am posting a video which was showed to me by Mike, because I really want to share my appreciation for it and I am convinced you will all find it just as inspirational and beautiful as I did. It's a video taken at the Oknawa Churaumi Aquarium, the second largest aquarium in the world accompanied by the music of Barcelona, in my opinion a soon-to-be-grand indie band that deserves some praise. This video was mande by Jon Rawlinson, a cameraman/producer that specializes in documentary production all over the world.

What's really cool about this, is that ever since this video which is now counting over 800,000 views on youTube , and is highly complemented on digg.com, Barcelona's Sales on ITunes have been sky-rocketing. To show their appreciation the small band posted a Response Vidoe on Jon Rawlinson's page, thanking for the exposure. It's funny how it all works.
