Bent Objects a brillant idea
There are so many different social media sites sometimes it hard to keep up. One site I am glad to have stumbled upon is actually called stumbleupon. I haven't spent too much time yet on the site but within minutes of registering an account on the weekend I discovered a brilliant page. As a photographer my trigger finger was really itching to try this but as a artistic sort of person I respect the creator's right to entitlement . The concept is entitled Bent Objects created by Terry Border. Terry has created a very unique photograph experience in which he uses all kinds of objects from daily life including various foods and attaching them in unique ways using wires and then animates them in various artistic poses. I have linked to a few of his pictures below. Please visit his site to see more.

Suicide
Not the best of topics for a rainy Monday morning but nevertheless life isn't always peachy. Mississauga News has posted an article about the tragic story of sixteen year ago Mitchell Pham who took his own life. The article features an interview with the family. Ironically I'm on my way to work and there's a woman who's being have a conversation with herself for the past twenty five minutes. Mental health is a sensitive subject but something as a society we really need to come more to grasps with in educating ourselves and be willing to aid in research. Read the original article

Anyone know the number for room service
You ever find that really comfortable spot in your bed and you are about to drift off into heavenly bliss when all of a sudden your stomach slaps you in the face and says "hey I'm running on empty here." So there comes the dilemma: hungry vs comfort. I can tell you comfort is going to win because I can feel it in my bones that its cold out there and I'm not quite so brave this Sunday morning.
Today, well actually I uploaded them last night, but today I will be sharing with you the last of the Dominican Republic pictures and there's a few for your browsing. In case anyone was wondering what to get Bloggin Blodgett for Christmas anything from the Transformers Cyberverse Collection will suffice. I hear that Walmart has a Cyberverse Ultimate Gift set and if you're not a fiscal supporter of Walmart's evil plan for World Domination then there's always Toys r us. I blame Toys r us for my generations woes, just in case you wanted to know. We were constantly bombarded with their propaganda embedded with emotional irresponsibility and refusal to submit to any authoritarian powers in the age old slogan "I don't want to grow up". That's why most of us aren't married, constantly change jobs, live in a liquored aquarium and have more toys than our forefathers could ever imagine. See reading Bloggin Blodgett is like X-files, "the truth is out there" you just have to know the right people.
Unfortunately there will be no new cooking expeditions this weekend. I do apologize as I had mentioned that there may be some this weekend but do not fret Chez Blodge will return from slumber shortly.
In the world of entertainment rumors of a trailer for Peter Jackson's The Hobbit will be screened along with his film TinTin, both of which I will be seeing. He has to be one of my favorite producers. Time for some new Spiderman and Avengers footage as well.
Still no word on that room service. Looks like I'm going to have dawn the fur, load up the riffle and head out into the brisk morning mist to murder me a chicken for breakfast.
Don't forget to check out the facebook page and throw a couple likes our way. We're aiming to obtain a personalized address which requires a certain number of fans. I have paid for friendships before it gets rather costly lol. But on a more serious note Happy Sunday to all and hope you have a great week. Lots coming up this week in blogosphere ... Stayed tuned. Bloggin B

Being longin for
Ahhh another work week done. Looking forward to this weekend which officially began just over an two hours ago. Bloggin B has a few dinner events to attend to this weekend. There's a few projects on the agenda as well including some photography, a few blog posts, as well as editing the wedding pictures I took down in the Dominican. The flickr page is still online but I have setup up a page over at 500px which will house my portfolio pictures until I can find the time and resources to build a website. Also Bloggin B is now on facebook add for more exclusive content and information. I'm also going to try and get some cooking done this well as I haven't posted any recipes later. Keep an eye
Don't forgot to say hi to the latest member of my aquarium Daewon the Newt. Daewon is pretty awesome he's very calm and likes to chill on the lily pad and floating wood. He'll even just hang out in my hand and crawl around but he prefers to be a little wet. Every now and then he's jump in the water for a dip, looks as if he likes to swim a lot too. I add some loaches to the tank also and will try to snap a shot of them when they decide to come out of hiding, still a little shy getting use to the new home.

Mississauga News Launches Online Shopping Guide
Yesterday Metroland Media announced that the Mississauga News has launched a virtual Shopping Centre.
With the creation of three new blogs (listed below) you can now find information and articles relating to the various retail outlets available in these communities. Business owners, many of whom are Small Time Business Owners, recieve a few perks from the new site also. It puts them on the map so to speak in ways that many small business cannot provide the finances and resources for. Two examples are that its gives them a free online presence as well participating Business' also receive a free HD video produced for them detailing their business operation. Have a look. I have to say this is actually a great idea.
