Daisies of The Galaxy

I've got it all figured out.
---
In September I'm going to go to Fanshawe College and take Photography for 2 years (or 3, depending on if I need to take the Advanced course too). Fanshawe is in London Ontario. Pretty city. Once I'm done my 2 years there, I'm going to apply at Griffith University in Queensland Australia for their Bachelor of Photography program. That will take 3 years. When I am done that, I will either stay in Australia and find work, travel to another country and find work, or come back to Canada and set up a studio.
---
It's been my dream to go to Australia for so long, and I discovered that if I take the program at Fanshawe then there is a really good chance of me getting in at Griffith University. And how much sweeter would it be to have a Bachelor of Photography over just a certificate or Diploma. I'm going to major in photojournalism, so I have a better chance of fulfilling my dream of shooting for National Geographic. I also want to do my own documentary shooting. The world is just so amazing.

And I find I get sick of the same scene after too long... especially when the expiry date is long since past.
---
Did you know that if things seem too good to be true... then they probably are?
---
I love the Eels.
---
I love honesty.
---
The list I made for what I look for in a guy......... goes for my friends too.
---
I have this buddy... oh man he is the coolest! He bought me a web domain so I can start up my photography website! How cool eh? What a totally thoughtful guy. More people need to be like him. In a few days I'll post the site link!

Life is the funniest thing ever. We all just need to get over it.

God's Amazing Power

In Christ Alone

In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light, my strength, my song
This Cornerstone, this solid ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love, what depths of peace
When fears are stilled, when strivings cease
My Comforter, my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand

In Christ alone, who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
'Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live

There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Brought with the precious blood of Christ

No guilt in life, no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life's first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell, no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
'Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I'll stand
