Lithium by Evanescence (Cover) (Guitar & Vocals)
Oookay. Here we go now.
So this is actually not the recording that I’ve been talking about doing for the past little while. I have been working on a cover of “Safe & Sound” by Taylor Swift, but it has been an extremely frustrating process, mostly with technical difficulties. Because of that, I really felt like I needed to take a step back from it right now, but I hated the idea of not posting anything up as I had said I would!
Dance In The Night..
Through they were distant..Their souls danced in the night..Their hearts lit the night sky..this night was theirs..the love they had for each other..defined the beauty of the sky they soared on..every graceful step..creating ripples of gentle breeze on the trees below them..the forest plays it’s soft melody for when true hearts join..everything truly comes to life..

Lessons From Nature: The Wind
Sometimes when the wind blows, it is strong enough to push you aside. The harder you fight it, the more you are brushed aside by it’s force. But, if you stop fighting it. The wind will go around you, life isn’t always about fighting for what you want. Let go of all your instincts to push forward and slow down to see a better way, be patient and there’s a good chance you might even learn something new.

For I’d Rather Be Loving You
I’d rather be spending an eternity regretting my mistakes..than spend another day without you..

As Long As I’m In Your Heart..
It doesn’t matter where I am today or where I am tomorrow..so long as you hold me in your heart..I know I’ll at least be a part of you..even when we are apart..

Filmmaker James Cameron Completes Journey to the Bottom of the OCEAN!
James Cameron Did It! He Made It To the Bottom of the Ocean. (Credit: Mark Thiessen, National Geographic)
There has been only 3 living souls that have completed the trip to the bottom alien realm of the sea: 2 Naval men in 1960, and now award-winning director James Cameron. For the first time in 50 years, Mr. Cameron completed the epic journey to the deepest part of the entire globe: …
This is awesome!
Random Poetry Of The Heart
It didn’t matter the distance..
We were never apart..
It didn’t matter what was said..
Actions and desires spoke louder..
We felt something we long desired..
Something we thought lost..
We thought we could hold on to it together..
It wasn’t enough..
Love alone never seems enough..

See The World As It Is
See the world as it is..feel with your heart..set your soul free and let the world move around you..listen with an open mind and you will find..the world is truly amazing just the way it is..

Downtown Vancouver Roaming
So, to continue the post of my very special Saturday where I had dinner at East Side Mario’s at Londsdale Quay. My daughter and I decided to go to the Olympic site by the waterfront. Vancouver had the honor of holding the massive event back in 2010. It was an awesome! there were people from all over the world visiting, The city never felt so alive.
Waterfront Olympic Building
In the beginning when the bid for the event was put forward to the public, there was a lot of criticism from certain groups. They felt the money would of been better spent on creating more shelters and services, while I empathize with them. The economy here in BC really needed to promote more tourism, cruise ships weren’t coming as often anymore so this really helped.
Um yeah not sure what this is?
Vancouver received lots of great reviews during the events, it was awesome that people from as far as Switzerland and beautiful places like Japan were complimenting our incredible views of nature.
The streets were also super safe when we brought police from all provinces, with such an increased number of people touring the city we wanted to keep it safe and enjoyable.
In the entire time that the Olympics was going on, I had the honor of being part of the fun at my workplace @ Rogers Arena. Where we held all the hockey games, it was incredible being part of it all!
Won't you come join us? ^.^
So this concludes the Saturday date with my beautiful sweet daughter, I hope you enjoyed the stories! thank you for coming
Lonsdale Quay
Some of you may know that I am a real health nut. I always enjoy long walks after good meals. So, after dinner at East Side Mario’s with my little lady. We walked around Londsdale Quay for a bit.
This is such a welcome sight to me, we’ve had nothing but dreary rain and gray skies for the past month. The place was filled with kids and dogs, I loved it but the photographer in me wanted a different shot. So, with my little lady’s permission we went up a set of stairs to take this picture.
I was going to do a little more panoramic. But my little date isn’t fond of heights, I was the same way when I was her age. Bridges used to scare me, In many ways. She’s the exact copy of me in personality, so we went back down to the area everyone was at. It was getting late and we had plans to watch a movie at home, so back onto the seabus we went.
Along the way we saw this massive structure, it took a bit to notice that it was actually a freighter carrying two freighters. Word going around was that some of the ships from Japan were drifting after the devastating quake. These, were apparently two that were salvaged.
Upon arriving back at the dock on the other side of the channel, we disembarked the seabus and went for a little extra sightseeing downtown, I figured we were in the area and sun hadn’t set yet. So, why not spend more quality time just her and I right? I’ll post those pictures tomorrow, I hope you will enjoy these pictures
-Andy1076
Date With My Angel
Every few weekends, I will take my daughter out with me for a bonding moment. This is a very special and very meaningful moment for me, where she and I discuss and share stories and I pass words of wisdom to her. When she was an infant, she would look at me with her curious eyes as I told stories. Since then, I’ve always cherished every moment I spend with her. So, this weekend we shared our moment at East Side Mario’s. The decor of the place has always been of interest to me and the best part? all 80′s music! heck yeah!
The walls were all decorated with different pictures of better times, I wanted to take pictures of the surroundings but it was so packed. I didn’t want to seem strange, so I settled for this picture instead. My daughter and I spent a good while going through the menu, Lots of great choices! all very traditional and great tasting italian foods. So, how to decide what to get? well. I guess you’d have to ask my daughter, I was too busy taking pictures of my lovely date.
The restaurant also has the usual main features that you would expect from an Italian restaurant, such as the all you can eat in house made garlic bread and butter on the side.
Now, When I say in house bread? I mean fresh out of the oven! look how little crumbs there are on that cutting board, the knife went right through and the aroma was amazing, My daughter and I went through two of those long before the food finally arrived.
My daughter ordered the Mario’s Classic Chicken Parmigiana. It’s not as cheesed up as the picture currently shows here, My apologies for that. The server offered to give us extra cheese and I didn’t want to make her stand around while I took a picture, the service by the way? was amazing! everything I asked for came right away in a busy place, not once did I ever feel like I was asking for too much. If that makes any sense?
I ordered the Scallop Carbonera. Unfortunately, for this dish. Even if you took away the grated cheese the food looked nothing like on the menu, the pasta was perfect but the bacon was incredibly dried out and the stick soaked up a lot of the flavors. As for my daughter’s dish it was perfect in every way down to the tenderness of the chicken, I didn’t even have to use the knife! I think she and I spent most of the time talking about the differences in our dishes and how much she enjoyed hers, rather than my plate.
One of the greatest things about this restaurant, Was the giant bowl of salad that came with the meal. Yes, I know. Why am I talking about a salad when I should be enjoying my spaghetti right? well. It just Isn’t Italian without proper caesar. The lettuce was crisp and fresh and the croutons weren’t soft like I always find, Unfortunately, the salad wasn’t all you can eat which I was really disappointed about but oh well! there’s always the next time.
We spent a good hour and a half chatting more than we were eating, She’s 10 years old now and has so many stories. I don’t get to see her except the weekends so it’s always great knowing what my beautiful angel has on her mind, It is only when I’m with her that I truly feel at peace. She heals me and renews me so I can take on whatever else comes from the weekdays. What more can a proud father ask for, than spend quality time with his child right?
So, Despite my food not being particularly tasty? I give this restaurant a salute for making my moment with my daughter memorable! my daughter and I spent the rest of the afternoon sightseeing like tourists, pictures will be posted soon as I do some touch ups on them.
Oh, Did I mention we had two oreo Mcflurry’s to celebrate the incredible weather we were having? there’s a saying, It’s not the spices that make a great meal. It is the company you have and the great times that you spend that make it a memorable experience. Definitely will be coming back to the restaurant again soon! ^_^
Join Me This Night..
Come join me this night..Let’s enjoy this beautiful moonlight together..this night..the stars may rest for we ask for no direction..our hearts found each other and brought us where we are now..this night I feel only peace..this night..there’s no place I’d rather be..
How Can I Ever Doubt..
How can I lose faith..
When I feel like I have drawn breath for the very first time..
How can I ever doubt when my heart races at every mention of your name..
How can I ever give up..
When the image on the mirror Is no longer a shattered soul..
How can I not come alive..
When your love has brought me life..
-Andy1076
Dedication To My Love..
A heart forged in pain..
A heart once cold and devoid of feelings..
Brought to life by the warmth of her heart..A soul once beaten and shattered..Mended by the comfort of her words..A feeling of new life and purpose..Created by the radiance of her loving heart brings me new purpose..A new definition of love arrives like a prayer..A prayer answered by an angel among us..A love never questioned..A love eternal..-Andy1076
There’s No Need For Words..
There’s no need for words..no need for long poetic phrases or tales of joy and sorrow..when two hearts truly connect..there’s nothing like it..therefore..beyond definition..

Versatile & 7×7 Awards! Woot! ^.^
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
I’ve recently been awarded the Versatile award by Natalie at Reflections in a puddle and Tonij at Barefoot Baroness. It is an absolute honour to receive awards from such talented writers. I very much recommend everyone to stop by their blogs, They are both motivational and inspiring!
So, Tradition states that I must do the following
1) Thank the one who awarded me
2) Tell one unknown thing about me
3) Link to 7 of my previous posts
4) Pass award to 7 folks
Something Nobody Knows
- I love spicy food so much that I think I add hot sauce to almost everything (YIPES!)
Links To 7 Of My Previous Posts

When Memories Remain
You can try to forget what you feel..throw it all away like a crumpled piece of paper..truth is though you will never forget the places you’ve been with the one you once loved..no matter how hard you try..a part of you will always remain wherever memories were once made..
Chances
I don’t believe in chances..everything happens in our lifetime for a reason..those reasons may not always make sense and we may not even agree with them..but if you are patient and let it carry through..then it will all become clear..just have to have faith in yourself to see it to the end..
Both Artists..Different Canvas..
An artist paints the world before him through his eyes..he shares what he sees and brings his audience to him through the distance..a writer paints the world within him..he shares what he feels and brings his audience to share his experiences..they are both artists in their own way..they both however paint on their own canvas..
-Andy1076
Mid Week Thought
There are times, when we must move on no matter how wrong it might be to leave what we have. Nothing is ever certain and without moving forward we will never know, if we really completed our journey. When we finally have arrived at the end, we will know because there will be no doubts and there will never be reason to look back.

Love’s Real Language
Love is a language of two hearts.. one loving and one feeling..it is so deep and profound that only the ones meant to be..truly hear each other.. even in silence through the distance..
What Time Can’t Take
Time can take away the colors of a single flower..it can even take away it’s leaves but no matter how much it may fade..the center will always stay for that is where it’s heart resides..the spirit of life will never be crushed so long as there’s a will..-Andy1076
What Life Gives You..
Life only gives you one moment to breathe..one moment to think and one moment to speak..choose how you spend it carefully or you will spend a lifetime..regretting what you wish you had said..
-Andy1076
There’s Something About Clouds & Buildings
I don’t know why, But. There’s something about panoramic pictures that I really enjoy taking. Especially with my app called Autostitch, what happens is you take as many as 15 frames side to side and you let the app stitch them all together for you. The result? a slightly warped but clear wide picture, below is one picture facing North from my workplace. If you look at the space ship like building? that’s the Vancouver Lookout. It’s essentially a revolving restaurant and then on the very top there’s breath taking views of the downtown area, I’ll be posting pictures very soon.
Here’s another side of the building’s rooftop facing east, I realize there’s nothing much to look at but a couple of roads. It’s called the Georgia Viaduct, basically a road that exits the downtown core and into the other parts of the city, pretty soon that bridge on the right side will be gone and new development is going to start rising up. It was such a beautiful day outside that I had to catch the moment to take this picture.
So! If you have an iPhone? get the App and start taking pictures! imagine the possibilities of taking 180 degree pictures of everywhere you go rather than a portrait!
The Demons Within
We all have demons within..the ones that carry the names of despair..doubt..jealousy..hate..they destroy the world we create in our hearts..taking away a part of us one bit at a time..though we may feel helpless sometimes..we must remember..hope begins with us and with hope we will have all we need to heal and move forward..

The Paths We Choose
We don’t choose our paths or see what’s up ahead..all we have is our experiences from the past and our instincts to guide us..to let go of all fears and go with what we feel is to be truly human..

That which goes beyond the test of time..
The true passion of the human heart, is man’s ability to create something with passion. Giving anything he makes, the ability to go beyond the test of time.-Andy1076
The Human Heart..A Constant Storm..
The human heart is much like Nature’s fury. Never really at peace, always a raging in a storm of emotions.
-Andy1076
A Certain Kind Of Brave
It takes a certain kind of brave to live with a painful scar, but another one entirely to not be afraid to show everyone that it won’t slow you down.

A Beautiful Morning
Yesterday morning, I woke up to my favourite kind of weather. Snow! There’s just something really peaceful and beautiful about it, it comes down really hard sometimes but it doesn’t make any noise and in the process it paints the streets in a beautiful sheet of white. Even the sky too!
The best part though, is the squishy feeling and sound you get when you step all over it. Leaving footprints behind, I wanted to make a snowball but there wasn’t really that much snow yet and well. The landscape was so perfect I didn’t want to disturb it so I could take this picture. It’s a good thing I left home earlier than usual too so i could take a picture of this.
This is the walk way to the library itself, usually around this time of the hour there would be people walking all over it. Even this early there are people who go to the library’s yard to practice tai chi and other things, so I wanted to beat them to the spot I really wanted to take a picture at. Which picture you ask? why. This one of course!
Look familiar? this is the picture of the library’s courtyard that I took towards the apartment I turned into a giant fan, except this time I am looking towards the other way, I apologize for the yellow tint. The surrounding lights get in the way of the true colors, but I am uploading the color corrected version into the iPhone gallery. Just wanted the true looks here on this post. So, anyways! after i took these pictures i started rushing towards the metro system and walked on this path.
Sorry about the blurriness, snow was coming down real hard so it was a little tricky to get a sharp clear shot of the picture. I sure wish we had this kind of snow earlier though! cause then maybe we could of had a real white Christmas! Thank you for joining me and look for the edited picture in the iPhone gallery tab!
Alina’s Fantasy Journey Part 3
After a long walk from the tunnel of dancing leaves, Alina at last arrives to her next destination. The home of a sleeping giant known as the spirit of the woods, but. She knew that in the real world she was the giant, the thought made her chuckle. Just as she did, a voice said “So no longer scared of ghosts right?” Alina peered around the corner of the long walk way, who is it speaking to her?
“Who are you?” Alina asked, she then looked up to see what appeared to be a fish bowl. It had eyes and lips, she looked closer to notice it was made of plants, how strange was that? wait. How strange is it that I am in this place, she thought to herself. “I would like to answer your questions but you have so many!” Alina then looked at the spirit in the eyes and said “Sorry, It’s been a long day” the spirit then nodded “Yes, It has been hasn’t it? but your road home is not far. Just behind me is the path you need to take, just keep walking straight” Alina sighed at the thought of more walking again as she has already been walking non stop. She then wondered if there was something to help her move faster, that’s when she noticed a glimmer on the side of the walls and started digging, she was pleasantly surprised to discover what it was.
Here goes nothing! she thought, granted it felt silly to ride a tri-cycle when she was used to just a regular bike. But, hey it works right? stay tuned for the finale in this 4 part series!

Random Thought For A Random Post
I know I said it before but I will say it again, But. The building I live at really is very Blah! typical wallpaper lining in the hallways and very typical hallway lights.
I’m sure the building upon construction probably got these on a special, why do I say that? because I’ve been to a few apartments and this is the only one that looks so boring. Well, you know what they say if you don’t like something right? either do something about it or let it go. So something is exactly what I decided to do! I went to the library across the street and took a picture of a flower I saw on my way home.
Now, I know the strata council in the building will never go for my next idea. Also, If I went off decorating the lobby’s hallway on my own I’d probably get slapped with some sort of fine. But, they never said anything about working within my own imagination. So, whatever will I do with this delicate beauty and a lamp? How about..this?
Wouldn’t this be a better look? It wouldn’t matter if it’s horribly rainy outside or even cloudy and ugly. At least, I could enjoy seeing something nice before heading out right? ah well, It’s a thought!
Letting Go..
Let go of all the burdens that you carry on your own, otherwise the weight of it alone will only keep you from moving forward.

There’s no straight path..
There’s no straight path to reach where we want to be..but as long as we stay true and continue forward we will always reach the destination..wherever it may be..
