Happy New Year! My resolution for 2012? To have Daft Punk play at my house.

So, now that 2011 is about to end I thought it would be smart to post my favourite tracks from the past year. So, without further ado, here they are: 20. Mac Miller - Knock Knock 19. Beyoncé - Love On Top 18. Kristina Marie - Co-Pilot (feat. Laza Morgan) 17. Nicki Minaj - Super Bass 16. Outasight - Tonight Is the Night 15. Eliza Dolittle - Mr. Medicine 14.

Alright, for all 3 of you that read this, here is my Christmas Wishlist for 2011: WARNING: As I upgraded all my tech gadgets this year, my 2011 wish list will pale in comparison to some of my previous years. 1.

Moxie's has been a big part of my life for the past 4 years now. Since moving to Calgary it's given me so many opportunities — opportunities I wouldn't have gotten anywhere else. I truly believe in the core values and beliefs the company promotes; and it really does feel like I was adopted into a family. I've gotten to meet so many people, some of whom have become amazing friends to me. I've

The blogger department of Google finally pushed out a mobile app for iOS. Guess my wish came true, some 2 odd years later.... Guess I'll be able to blog on the go now.

I've been very lucky my whole life. I've never experienced death. I've never had anyone close to me pass away, and those who have, I can't remember. My grandparents passed away when I was an infant so I have no recollection of them. I've gone 23 years without ever losing someone. The closest I've ever come to experiencing death was when Michael Jackson passed away and I actually felt sad. I

I realize I haven't blogged in a while. iGeneration fail. However, I thought I would point out that I blogged in January that I hoped to upgrade my gadgets this year. A few months back I snatched up an iPad 2; and as of this past Monday I traded in my original 2006 Core Duo MacBook for a brand new 13" Core i5 MacBook Air. It's so sexxxy.I've gotten 2/3 upgrades done, including the one I wasn't

2 things:1. The other day someone said my skin looked flawless. Then, the next day someone called me "skinny." It's taken a lot of effort to get to those two points in my life. Needless to say - I've been secretly ecstatic since. Someone deflate my ego now, haha.2. I think I've started to outgrow PostSecret. It no longer means and represents the same thing to me now than 5 years ago. I can't

Zonoscope is so full of epic win I can't even describe it.Worth the wait? Heellllll yeahhh.I thought In Ghost Colours was amazing, and it still is. They're not "the same" but that's why they're both so great -- they're different. They took some of the best elements of In Ghost Colours and used them to make Zonoscope. It doesn't have any crashing beats like Lights and Music, but it flows on a

2011 is well under way. It's a shame. I kind of liked 2010. I got to graduate, I bought a car, I went on vacation, went to a bunch of concerts, and probably did other stuff I can't remember. I'm expecting to upgrade my gadgets in 2011, including an iPad, the new iPhone, and if things work out in my favour, a new Mac. I'm not holding my breath for that one just yet though.Anyway, new years

With 2010 closing in a few hours I thought now would be a good time to post my 10 favourite songs of the past year.10. Justin Bieber - Baby (feat. Ludacris)I wrote my last ever academic paper on this song. I love the Biebs - even got to see him in concert.9. Dev - Bass Down Low (feat. The Cataracs)I like my beats fast and my BASS DOWN LOW.

When I was a kid and people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would always say an astronaut. Space has always fascinated me. I used to be convinced I was going to be an astronaut. In grade 8 I even researched universities in Canada that granted Space / Astronomy degrees in physics. It wasn't until the 9th grade or so that my dream started to fizzle. Growing up, space was always

My Mac has crashed twice in 2 days. It's getting stupidly old.WTF??!I have this persistent nagging feeling that I should crack into my savings account. I had 10 G's in there and I took out 2 of them last month for my winter tires (I got conned into buying $1500 winter tires that included tires, a steel wheel base and nitrogen instead of oxygen. For what it's worth, they're really good). Now, I

Waking up and driving to work is usually mundane. But when you get to see the Bow River cut through a city that on one side is illuminated with towering skyscrapers and on the other has the Rocky Mountains reflect the bitter morning sunlight; that's when the mundane becomes something more.It's been 3 years and a bit and I'm still in awe of the beauty.

I've always had a thing for Superman. Even the origin of his name, with its Nietzsche roots. Something about a hero who can save us all has always appealed to me. It might be my Christian upbringing that has subconsciously played a part in this, mind you. Superman has always appeared like a Christ figure. Or, it may be that at heart, I'm still a little kid who needs to be rescued - or at least

My life is over.Or maybe it's not.For whatever masochistic and / or sadistic reason, I decided to start reading some of my old blog entries this evening.

Birthdays are merely symbolic of how another year has gone by and how little we've grown. No matter how desperate we are that someday a better self will emerge, with each flicker of the candles on the cake, we know it's not to be; that for the rest of our sad, wretched pathetic lives, this is who we are to the bitter end. Inevitably, irrevocably; happy birthday? No such thing.

"You can't feel worthless if you think you're worth it"I'm not one to like stupid ass inspirational quotes like the one above. I tend to enjoy the whittier quotes by people like Oscar Wilde. I find inspirational quotes to be somewhat uninspired and clichéd. But the one above, I like.I guess to even things out I'll throw out this quote by the Biebs:"I also try to read all of my fan mail.

I won't deny that, culturally, I'm white.It presents a problem because ethnically, I'm not. I'm hispanic. My family moved to Canada when I was 2, barely 3 years old. We moved to the most WASP-ish province in the country - Prince Edward Island. For the longest time I think we were the "multicultural" group on the Island, haha. I laugh because it's more than likely true. Being hispanic, and

Just watched my first episode of Glee.I don't understand the appeal of the show. It sucks.Britney might be the only person who could ever get me to watch it, but she can't make me like it.Since I watched Glee today, and I saw the Biebs last week I've lost a lot of musical cred. Tokyo Police Club and the Arkells are playing Wednesday; Hot Hot Heat and Hey! Rosetta are playing Thursday; Caribou is

The screams of 15,000 thirteen year old girls has left me deaf. Otherwise, J-Biebs puts on a great show.

To iPad, or not to iPad -- that is the question.My original Rev A white MacBook has served me well since 2006. It actually still works great. Using it, I can't really tell it's age. Now, that might be because I'm no longer in school and so what I use my computer for has greatly shifted. Whereas before I was staying up all night writing, stitching together presentations, and doing research; I find

An open letter to Lady Gaga,What happened to you?? Clearly you're no longer the girl who drinks too much wine and just wants to dance. That's cool. For a while I thought you represented the second coming of aestheticism, and I couldn't have been more thrilled. Your music was fresh and inspired, your outfits completely useless (and therein, beautiful), and your personality had a cloud of mystery

First, a warning that the following video contains scenes of graphic violence which may not be suitable for all viewers. And now, my opinion...M.I.A. is awesome. So many people are apparently up in arms about her new music video Born Free because military police officers wearing American flag badges on their shoulders raid an unidentified city (skyline makes it look like L.A.) and round up

Good grief, academia. Can we just end it now already?!!?Our relationship has lasted for 5 years, and sure, we've had some rough times and some amazing times, but I think we've both gotten everything we can out of each other... Perhaps it's time we went our separate ways and met new people?

You lie your head on your desk, your arms wrapped around to conceal your face, which is pressing against the surface that you realize 12 years later was probably sneezed on several times by one of your classmates only minutes earlier. And your thumb is up, high and proud. You begin to sweat and the air you breathe gets heavier and heavier.All of a sudden, you get a tap on your thumb. It shoots

Have you ever gone without checking your email or your phone for an extended period of time; then when you finally go to check it you get a little worried just before you open up your inbox or flip your phone open - what if someone was trying to get a hold of me and it was urgent?? - only to find that there's nothing there? No one tried to get a hold of you. Nothing. Nada. Zip.Yeah....

Central Park is like this weird urban paradox.You're in a park, surrounded by trees and green grass. It feels like you're in the heart of nature. But as soon as you look up, you're reminded you're in the heart of a city and the trees are eclipsed by the concrete skyscrapers that loom larger than nature.

I'm somewhat over the Prius. The 3rd generation 2010 model is incredibly sexy (especially in Blizzard Pearl) and it's great for the planet, but after test-driving one a while back I can't help but think that it's still a bit too "Star Trek" for me. I don't know, maybe I'm just used to old fashioned cars but I felt somewhat uncomfortable - like I was driving a space ship.I think that if I could

So, 2009 is about to end and we're about to start a brand new decade. I'm fairly excited as 2010 already contains many promises (granted I don't flunk any of my classes as they're all required.

So, in an attempt to not do my Victorian lit research paper I'm posting my Christmas wishlist. Huzzah!1. LG 37" 1080p LCD HDTV (37LH30) $799.99New TV!2. LG 1080p Upconverting DVD Player With DivX (DV480H) $79.99I'm holding off upgrading to BD until prices of players and BD movies come down a bit, in the mean time a new DVD player that upconverts DVDs to 1080p content would be rad.3.

I have cabin fever.I'm stuck inside because of the storm that's sitting on top of Calgary right now.I hope it's done by tomorrow. I have an appt at 12:30.I guess I could be productive and work on my Victorian Lit research paper. Or not.

Is it sadistic and masochistic for me to be looking at apartments for rent in Manhattan?One day, one day...

I was at the mall yesterday and popped into the Bell Mobility store.I finally got to play with the Prē.My thoughts? It was ridiculously sluggish. The actual interface had stellar graphic transitions and I enjoyed the iPhone-esque swiping to move between applications, as well as the "home" button (or what felt more like a nipple than a button). On the whole though I felt that the hardware couldn't

One day all my procrastination is going to catch up with me and then I'll be in some serious trouble.

And another year comes to an end.Let's line up the embarrassing moments that'll take me through the next 12 months, shall we?

October just started. Autumn has barely commenced. Yet, it's -18'C outside and snowing. Either old man winter is being a douche, or mother nature is a bitch. I can't decide. Sometimes I hate living in Canada.

Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Feed that man to a fish, you go to jail.Or something like that.

So I've pretty much decided that the 3rd generation 2010 Toyota Prius is the car of my dreams; as such, I really want to get one - specifically with the touring package. However, I can't decide on a colour. Blue Ribbon Metallic? Barcelona Red? Blizzard Pearl? or Black? Decisions, decisions....

Someone asked me the other week what I wanted for my birthday/Christmas. At the time I couldn't think of anything. Could this be the end of my obsession with possession? I thought. I figured because I had everything I wanted I was fine. It's not about having what you want, it's about wanting what you've got. But now that I think about it, I could really use a spa package. A massage/facial/sauna
