A moment.

Suddenly, her heart exploded into powder, a dust cloud over the earth, only to be ignored by the people below, unaware of her quiet demise.

Education Remixed: It all comes down to this.

Hello friends,

I'm sure some of you have been wondering why I've been somewhat AWOL for the past 8 months. 

I haven't been able to grab drinks.
I haven't been able to be as spontaneous.
I haven't been writing random plays.
I haven't been at work as much.
I haven't been belting it out at karaoke or dancing my pants off at the bar with you.

Well, that's because I've been up to something.

Since September, I've been at Humber getting my post-grad for Event management. I've been creating events, learning the ins and outs of the business, and trying not to kill/be killed by my teachers or fellow classmates.

This Friday it all comes to a head.

On Friday, April 5, my fellow classmates and I will be hosting the fundraising event Education Remixed, a charity event.We are raising money for the Remix Project, which helps educate marginalized youth in creative arts and business, as well as the Humber College scholarship.

We will have Ambassadors and graduates from the Remix Project, as well as Films recognized at the Toronto International Film Festival, Art, and DJ's directly from the project.  We will also have a Silent auction, with prozes from The Toronto Raptors, The Argos, SteamWhistle, Winery Tours, Restaurants and more.  We will also be offering food in our 'Cafeteria', which will include all the snacks you loved at lunchtime when you were in school.

My group has worked incredibly hard on this. After all of the chaos, forms, cold calls, emails, conversations, fights, running around, and sleepless nights, we are excited for this event to finally to come alive.

Tickets are only $20, which gets you music, food, art, entertainment, gets you dancing, gets you to meet people within the industry and those that have succeeded from these projects, as well as VIP from certain Toronto sports teams **HINT**HINT** and, above all gets you to make a difference.  This is an amazing way to kick off your weekend, support a great cause, and see what I've been up to all year.  Even if you can't make it, you can still donate to Education Remixed, and help push a youth's education further!

Hope to see you all there, even just to pop by and wish us luck! You've all been amazing and so supportive of my absence this year (and I do mean that in the best way possible) and I would love for you to see what I've been working on all year!

Cheers!

Monthly Tasks: March Failure... Well, sort of.



My first month task has been somewhat of a failure. I was hoping to have had 2 play plots, written out with scenes and ideas for new writing project. Unfortunately stupid life got in the way and I only have a few scribbled notes written of a coaster in the bottom of my bag.

Even when you have the best laid plans, life loves to get in the way. Being busy with school, work, and life has limited my time to do much else. Whatever, shit happens, move on. Try again.

Right now I have to get school out of the way and move forward. I'll still keep writing. Right now I need to focus on not killing myself or others around me. Hooray for crunch time. Hooray for life. I guess.
