Randomness, Chinese New Years & Olympic Chaos

Ok, here is a huge update of my antics on Sunday. But first a few photos I took on the SkyTrain while traveling home last week.

Downtown Vancouver & Olympic Saturation

Today I went to Downtown to film a lizard for his web show and in between filmed I took lots of photos of the Olympic & Canadian branding of Vancouver and other bits of randomness.

Anti-Olympics Propaganda.

Sliding in the snow & more randomness

Went to the AFI Concert last night & went snowboarding today at Mt Seymour. So here are some photos of randomness and from up the mountain.

It's SNOWING!!!

It's snowing again today, but it was a better fall than last time & since I have the day off I went out to take photos.

Looking out the door.

Frosty Coldness

Some random pics of my daily trip to work on the bus & the uber frost that has been there every morning this week. The weather has gone from constant rain to perfectly blue skies & chilly mornings, the highs get up to about 5 degrees & gets down to -5 degrees.

Metamorphisis

Today I got my hair cut and shaved off all my facial hair.

Dead animals and bits of culture.

Today I went to the Museum of Vancouver to look at stuffed animals and the history of Vancouver.

Our random pet spider that lives in the bathroom.

Science Madness!!!

Today I went to Science World to play, learn and touch stuff including a live snake and of course I took lots of random pictures. Here are some of the best.

Unlife in the city

Today I went to pick up my pay cheque for my House of Horror work, Duane tagged along and we stopped at IHOP for lunch.

Here are the last of the House of Horrors pics and a few other randoms.

Very Intriguing Article & Videos

Here are a few links to some of the reference material that I am using to write my epic story.
Astro-Theology - an article about the origins of western religious belief.
Zeitgeist - a movie along similar lines to the article.
Zeitgeist: Addendum - a continuation of the movie.
I'm not sure about what they say is true or not or somewhere in between. But it makes sense to me and the issues discussed in them relate well to the direction that my stories are taking.

Here's the 2 movies
Zeitgeist

The mouse joins the X-Men

Since Disney brought Marvel there has been an influx of mashups featuring characters from both companies. Here is my first one, I created in Photoshop in about an hour, so it's nothing special. I will probably do some others that I've actually drawn myself rather than just sticking pictures together and adding colour.

Puppets and Spiders and Random

Here are a few random pictures of recent stuff. The puppets are for random video's that Duane & I are going to make, that may or may not involve Monkeys and/or Squirrels. They will be ultimately meaningless random stupidity and I will post them on YouTube as well as this blog.

Squirrels and random stuff that exist

We went to see G.I.Joe today. It was awesome, it was just like when I was a kid playing with my G.I.Joe's in the dirt in the backyard, except there was more explosions in the movie.

Canada does the Colonel at the Movies. It's not as good as back in NZ, the chips don't have the epic seasoning and the poutine scares me, it's a heart attack in a bucket. But I think it would taste good. Mmmmm.... potato, gravy and cheese, I can feel my arteries clogging just thinking about it.


On the walk back to the apartment I went for a wander around Central Park to find randomness.

And now for some random writings dredged from the abyss of The Writings of Daryl.

We live in a perceived reality, a reality based upon the accumulation of personal experiences. These include, but not limited to, how, when & where we are taught things, by teachers, parents, peers, media, as well as anything & everything that surrounds our being. We are the centre of our personal universes, we are our own God's. The persona's we portray amongst friends, family and the general public area an accumulation of experiences derived from our upbringing & social climate surrounding us. For example we adapt our behaviour to suit the surroundings we are in, in my case when I am in a new surrounding and/or the people I'm surrounded by make me uncomfortable either by the way they look or act (usually people who assume they are superior to me), I become quiet and let them "blow their own horn". I do this because I know what I know, they have had different experiences therefore they act differently in various situations, for example they may feel the need to talk alot in order to prove themselves and what they know. Their views on things are affected by personal experiences therefore they may or may not be naive about certain issues, they may or may not consider how the way they act or what they say affects those within their surroundings.
