It's been 6 months since my last post... yikes what's new... LOTS... I've grown in the photography industry... upped my skills... also upped my skills on reading people. I can now safely pull a derren brown on peeps and practically read their minds....
I'm working on reading micro expressions to up those skills too.
My birthday passed on November 1st... It marked a 1 year anniversary since the breakup with my ex and the clusterfu#k that ensued... My life CHANGED on that day....
Hearing that your ex wants to date your 18 year old cousin, isn't something one takes lightly... being a scorpio, I did not... I successfully channeled all my anger into making their life hell. Do I feel bad? Is it bad if I say no? I was mad and didn't know what do to... in retrospect now... I would have left sooner and been a lot stronger about it. We all grow at different speeds though, so alas, I grew.
The situation allowed me to grow a billion times over though... I went into a different phase in my life... jumping out of the relationship made me feel like I could no longer trust people or their true intentions. I read books on body language so I could read people versus listening to their useless words.
Have the books helped... BIG time on numerous occasions.
I'm both happy and sad for my experience, although out of it I learned a lot. I'm still afraid of pretty much........ nothing. Aside from heights and spiders, not even people scare me anymore. For that I can be thankful.
Live your life to the fullest, take in each breathe deeply and do everything intensely. Life will be much more rewarding! My last year proves this to be true.
What's next?
Christmas at Stephanes... spending time with the girlfriend... more growing, more learning. 2011 is going to be an exceptional year, trust me.

Our world our pendulum
If you hold a string and at the end of the string is a weight, you have a pendulum.
If you hold it out in front of you and ask it to move left and right, WITHOUT moving your hand... just simply thinking about the movement, then you'll see if WILL start to move.
How? Micro movements in your body... every single fiber in you is willing this pendulum to move, without you actually moving your wrist. Yet without visual movement of your wrist, the pendulum still swings.
Lets apply this to everyday life.... If you WANT something... ie: TRULY want something, then you NEED to really think about that "thing" (man, woman, object, destination, etc...) Every inch of you needs to be guided in the direction of the item that you want. Only THEN will you really get what you want with ease. Every fiber in your body will be actively helping you towards your goal.
Just as in the swinging pendulum, we tell ourselves what we want and what we don't want.
What is it that you want? :)

Power of positivity
This last month has been unheard of....
By using the Laws of attraction, positivity and clear decision making, I have been achieving everything I've set out for.
I wanted to start a wedding photography company by August/September. I did not know how this would happen, however this is what I wanted. This last Friday I receive a call from someone who wants to start a wedding photography company and would like me to join him.
I needed more money, and a job fell into my hands.
So far, everything I ask for, is coming my way via what I feel are my life changes. I have been remaining only positive and literally helping as many people as I can along my path. With each new connection made, comes more opportunity for advancement. With each advancement comes more internal confidence and yet more ideas for creativity which are slowly being turned into reality.
2010 has been nothing short of incredible for me. I'm looking forward to the next months with a wicked passion that's keeping me so very interested in life!

reframe
Amazing... I'm starting to see it....
In NLP there's a term called Frame... which could be compared to wearing a pair of glasses. When we're feeling sad/depressed... we're looking through a dark set of glasses. To feel better we need to be able to acknowledge our feelings and be able to compartmentalize our thoughts. By doing so, we can then take off those glasses and put on a new pair (reframing)... From there, we can see clearly what our new objective might be.
On that SAME token, I've also realized how our reality is TRULY what we make of it. If we choose to follow a certain path then everything will simply work with us... If we go down a new street and undertake a new adventure, then what we want and look for will come with us. We're not forced to follow a certain path as we think we are. Note that I'm having a hard time putting this into words as it's completely new for me.
There's some KEY KEY items I realized recently that make this growth possible.
1) Smile
2) Entertaining (have jokes and good stuff to talk about)
3) Confident (even if only on the outside) Compartmentalize your lack of confidence and become an actor acting the confident part if need be
4) Read people efficiently. This involves body language, eye patterns, words.
5) Create rapport/trust by talking to them about what they like and relate it to your life
Above all this.. IMAGE is EVERYTHING. I hate to say it... but it's true... By image, I mean the whole package (depending on the environment you're in....) A smile and happy approach to someone new will create an instant conversation and on that same token will prevent you from easily closing up, becoming shy and not knowing what to say.
It really does involve a direct caveman approach to life.. You truly have to go after what you want. If someone wants to stop you or raise a flag... let them... in the meantime... you go after what you want!

Flow - On Positive people
On page 10 of this book, it speaks about how some people lead vigorous lives. They somehow take everything as a challenge. They keep learning until the day they die. They have strong ties and commitments to other people and to the environment they live in. They enjoy whatever they do and are never bored. Perhaps their greatest strength is that they are in control of their lives.
I will see later in this book how this is achieved.
Page 16 of this book speaks about how to overcome anxieties and depressions in our current life, we as individuals must become independent of our social environment. We are no longer affected by its rewards and punishments. Enjoyment should be found in any situation you're placed in.

Old lyrics!
I can't believe I wrote this in 2004... It was a period when I was starting to write rhymes and trying to figure out my style. I would write all the time just to write...
I'm paranormal, I'm a ghost when i write shit.
I dress formal, on the coast with clothes that tight fit.
I hit you with these rhymes like a one two punch,
like Mike tyson on fight night, where your ears is my lunch.
I'm in your mind thoughts and apparitions,
you make bad decisions just like bad physicians
who make bad incisions for circumcisions.
Now go and blame me cause you had stabbin' visions.
YIKES!
Seemingly I was having a difficult time in my life in December 2004:
In a state of confusion, I'm like a paper weight straight
laid me down to sleep, I'm neither asleep nor awake.
elaborate methods have made me put myself to test, because
my wifey doesn't share feeling for me's got me depressed. what does,
my life mean, it's like a buzz my heads spinning in butter!
My brain jerks, my life dull, I'd throw myself inta the gutter
start ta stutter, hide me in the clutter my brains in. What are
the symptoms of a grown man goin insane playin with some cutters
Carry on.......

Flow
I finished the book on The Game. I'm now reading Flow by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. So far:
Flow has been written about in tons of books explaining how to get rich, powerful, loved or slim.
However the book I'm reading explains more on how to just be happy and to use "flow" in it's entirety.
What would really satisfy someone is feeling good about their lives, and not just in ONE particular area.
Note that I will be posting snippets from the book On this blog. Ideally, these will be parts that will make you sit, think and reflect.
Pg. 7
"Only if we understand the way subjective states are shaped can we master them. Everything we experience - joy or pain, interest or boredom - is represented in the mind as information. If we are able to control this information, we can decide what our lives will be like."
To paraphrase the next line: The optimal state of inner experience is about order in conscious. Thus you have realistic goals, and skills that match opportunities for action. By focusing on a goal, you tend to forget everything else around you. As well, you'll notice that those periods where you had to overcome a challenge were probably the most enjoyable times of your life.

Rocks versus Gold
The Game - Page 325
There's a pattern the pickup artists have called rocks versus gold. It's a speech a man gives a woman he's dating when she stops having sex with him. He tells her that women in a relationship want rocks(or diamonds) while men seek gold. Rocks, for a woman, are wonderful nights out, romantic attention, and emotional connection. Gold for a man is sex. IF you give a woman only gold, or a man only rocks, neither will be satisfied. There must be an exchange.

The Game - Neil Strauss
OK OK... I put aside my other book for now and start BLAZING through this book.
It's absolutely amazing... I love it. These guys have basically turned social behaviour and social interaction into a formula (in terms of talking to the opposite sex). No longer do you have to go out and just randomly talk to someone. You can use a formula to make it work.
I decided to apply the most basic technique this weekend. I simply "negged", and nothing more.... A "Neg" is when you jokingly place your target (a female) down.... You tell her her eyes blink too much, or something else that's a negative PLAYFUL comment. This makes you look chill and you're not intimidated by her presence. It worked without fail, each and every time.
WHY am I reading this? Well, technically it goes along with every other book I've read so far. It just so happens that I'm also single, and figure these techniques could help me out as well. Although in general, I'm trying to eat up ANY and ALL information on social behaviour/social interactions to see where it can get me.
THEN... it's back to learning about software and photography!
OK, now to eat breakfast! :)

Relationships...
I'm sitting here thinking about relationships and jealousy... both really do not go hand in hand...
However how does one live with such constrictions? What I'm trying to say is for example your girlfriend has a guy friend. How do you not become jealous over wanting such a bond. Over time (in my mind) their bond could potentially grow to something bigger leading to a more dangerous emotional aspect. Emotions are a dangerous thing once unleashed. Typically (from what I've seen) uncontrollable until you reach the end of the emotional wave.
How do people stay in relationships for so long unless they've found that one person and need not share themselves with someone else in terms of emotions or....?
Anywho...

NLP Agent of Change.
Excerpt from: NLP - Whispering in the Wind by John Grinder and Carmen Bostic St Clair.
Page: 37
client: I can't express my feelings in front of my spouse
NLP agent of change: What would happen if you did?
WHAT? In simpler terms:
Normally we see only one path to our answer or we only see one sentence in our head. That being (to use the example above) "I can't express my feelings in front of my spouse" Typically you might have had a situation in the past where you had expressed yourself and received a bad reaction that's causing you to shut down now.
The agent of change lets you challenge your subconscious by asking it specifically why it cannot express itself. By doing so, you're opening up a world of choices to the client. Once this happens, the client might see a plethora of new options to choose from.
Page: 37
client: I can't express my feelings in front of my spouse
NLP agent of change: What would happen if you did?
Using Bateson's definition of pattern, we have a client and an NLP trained agent of change in a loop. We could place the slash mark immediately after the initial statement by the client containing the modal operator of possibility (can't) as the challenge that the agent of change will offer is fully predicable given the syntax of the client's statement. Equally valid would be the placement of the slash mark after the challenge by the agent of change. What occurs on the other side of this slash mark - the next set of responses by the client - is (at least partially) redundant or predictable? Change is underway.
In the first case where the slash mark occurs immediately after the clients statement - the specific set of challenges available to the agent of change is determined by the algorithms presented in, for example, the meta model - that is, we are able to predict with better than chance probability what the verbal responses of the agent of change will be. If we position the slash mark after the challenge by the agent of change, we could say with confidence that what occurs subsequent to that challenge is an exploration of consequences that extend and enrich the mental map of the client leading then to increased choice in his or her experience.

EZ PEEZEE
thoughts become actions as soon there's light
spare me the parts and please spare me the fight
workin on the images and mental creation
words flow up out me in pages and in pages.
wavering in the light, and darkness they collide
hoping there's at least 1 emotion i can ride
forget the body anger, and stories from the past
releasing temper tantrums over music you can blast
rehashing through my thoughts, trying to find the pain
tricky mind games have got me thinkin bout the 'same
trust becomes a word, sticking to the game
I'm lustin after ways, to keep my mind all sane.

Tying it all together...
The more I read, the more I'm trying to tie it all together. From "Flow", to NLP, to Positivity, to Quantum Touch, to Life Force Energy, to The Secret.
I'm trying to work on building a sort of positivity manual for the mind and body. Something that incorporates everything together so one can feel good and get everything they desire.

Neuro-Semantics
Just read up on this quickly after being invited to an information session on NLP, neuro-semantics and hypnosis.
Neuro-Semantics is essentially about becoming your best. It's about taking your best meanings, values, ethics, and making you the best most productive person you can be.
By bringing out your highest meanings, one can make sure you are giving it your all and being all you can be.
Living passionately means living to the fullest. Granted we don't have to live to our fullest in every single thing we do, however it's about bringing out the best in you so what you want to do is being done passionately.
With Neuro-Semantics, one can see what meanings you are taking and see if they are hurting you more than they are helping you. Then, remapping these to more positive results.

The term 'Neuro-Semantic'
Semantics refers to all of the meanings you create as a meaning-maker. What are your meanings about yourself, others, life, your career, health, wealth, relationships, etc.? Are they significant and robust? Are they exciting and enlivening? What meanings are you seeking to actualize in life? What meanings have you actualized? How well do the meanings that you are living serve you? How ecological are they?
Neurology (neuro-) refers to your body, physiology, and states. It is in and through your neurology that you feel, experience, and perform your meanings. What do you perform? What semantic reactions do you experience emotionally and as your skills? Do they reflect your best ideas and meanings? Or is there a big gap between what you know and what you do? Neuro-Semantics focuses on closing the Knowing-Doing gap.

Nuit Blanche
So I went out with my photography group tonight. We took a ton of pictures of people and exhibits. We started with 6 people and kept dropping someone nearly every hour... By 1:00am we were 3 people. It ended around 2ish. It was a ton of fun as we walked around all of the underground walkways in Montreal.
Not much else to say tonight... Pretty simple night overall.
Morning was great though as I had a brunch with friends at the friends place.

Friday
I have the power to better all those around me. I've been considering a job as a motivational speaker recently.
My positivity is rubbing off on those around me. I'm elevating those around me to new levels by helping them discover themselves more and more. I wish I could get paid for it.
In the next few days I'm going to see if I can somehow tap into all my learned skills and possibly create some type of job.
I've helped my friend recently at her job. She's doubled her numbers within a week. Within 2 days of talking to her.... Grinder was right in watching out for the subconscious. The mind is a powerful when used the right way.
I'm helping those around me realize their hidden potential be helping them discover who they are. Helping them realize that where they are at currently does not need to be where it ends.
That said, time to sleep... Tomorrow i'm having brunch with 3 new female friends. I'm bringing croissants while they're making me pancakes and other random breakfast brunch foods.

New day
It won't stop snowing... considering I have TERRIBLE winter tires on my car..... Doesn't make me overly happy...
I love the dollar store... I come back home with a bunch of chocolate bars and a garbage bin...
So I need to further change my life around... I'm going to start a workout soon as well as slowly changing my diet (But first... CHOCOLATE!)
The above were completely random facts about me right now...
How do I currently feel? Pretty positive, pretty good. I'm meeting up with my mum in about an hour for supper... I'll see what she thinks when I tell her the book I'm about to read. Considering she was born in 1931... I'm curious if she'll be upset or happy or... I dunno...

Mein Kampf
So... I can't be bothered to read the twilight series because each book is like what... 700+ pages?!??
However here I am about to read Mein Kampf written by Adolf Hitler...
Why you might ask? I heard it was a VERY interesting book and deals with many of the things I've been reading up on recently. I'm curious how he thought and what exactly the book says.
I'll update my blog as I read this book....

Wrote this in July...
Thought it was pretty good...
The brain thinks hard trying to process
but the words that you're saying it can't digest
tears from my eyes like the rain from the sky
as you turn and walk away, i slowly start to cry
my words can't express the pain that's in my heart
all i'm stuck doing is thinking about the start
and work my way through till i slowly reach the end
and wonder what wrong, if only time i could bend
i'd pull the hours back and the months and the years
and wipe the tears away, and push away the fears
I never looked around and observed who I was
never took the time to stop sit and pause
just like water wishing i could inhale
slipping through my life, i'm reaching for the rail.
trying to hold on, i'm slipping off the track
i'm reaching for your arm, all i'm seeing is your back
chorus
the lamp post dim, the streets are wet
no ones around, i swear my soul just left
feeling all alone as I turn in my direction
thinking to myself, is there something I could mention
keep that in mind as we put this in reverse
rewind the scene back to the very first verse
my finger to your lips before you start to speak
wipe the tears away as you slowly start to weep.
push your hair aside and look deep in your eyes
pull you in close cause this isn't goodbyes
i'm not the type of guy to give up with trying
I'm not letting you go while you're standing here crying
i'm putting my foot down with you sharing how i feel
to make sure you know that what you mean to me's unreal
descisions in haste could leave a bitter taste
our love is still strong, this is but a waste
The brain thinks hard trying to process
but the words that you're saying it can't digest
tears from my eyes like the rain from the sky
as you turn and walk away, i slowly start to cry
my words can't express the pain that's in my heart
all i'm stuck doing is thinking about the start
and work my way through till i slowly reach the end
and wonder what wrong, if only time i could bend
i'd pull the hours back and the months and the years
and wipe the tears away, and push away the fears
I never looked around and observed who I was
never took the time to stop sit and pause
just like water wishing i could inhale
slipping through my life, i'm reaching for the rail.
trying to hold on, i'm slipping off the track
i'm reaching for your arm, all i'm seeing is your back
chorus
the lamp post dim, the streets are wet
no ones around, i swear my soul just left
feeling all alone as I turn in my direction
thinking to myself, is there something I could mention
keep that in mind as we put this in reverse
rewind the scene back to the very first verse
my finger to your lips before you start to speak
wipe the tears away as you slowly start to weep.
push your hair aside and look deep in your eyes
pull you in close cause this isn't goodbyes
i'm not the type of guy to give up with trying
I'm not letting you go while you're standing here crying
i'm putting my foot down with you sharing how i feel
to make sure you know that what you mean to me's unreal
descisions in haste could leave a bitter taste
our love is still strong, this is but a waste

Concrete programming of the linguistic kind.
Reading... It's amazing how much information we can process and how our brain works to link everything together to make sense of it all.
I started with a book on reading people and body language. Why? Because I felt I couldn't trust my girlfriend. In all honesty, things she said to me versus what my gut was telling me, simply felt off. This was a long while back. This helped me a great deal in reading everyone in general. Each social encounter allowed me a new chance to read another persons body language.
With that out of the way, I decided I needed to learn how to effectively communicate with others, given I had no idea how to really speak with people. I mean I can EASILY walk into a room and get people to like me. However that's only the top layer with no concrete conversation on something important or personal. I started reading a book on NLP to discover how to listen to people and truly hear what they have to say. By effectively listening, I can speak back to the listener in a way that they would effectively understand what I have to say.
From there, I started feeling better about myself. I started understanding people and not feeling as shy to talk to them. I started WANTING to talk to others to discover their world, and how they think. I met someone who told me to watch 2 videos: What the bleep do we know and The Secret. I watched both and it simply changed my mindset completely.
Those videos made me rethink god. It made me rethink god in the sense that, could god simply mean energy? Energy is all around us. it flows in and out of us. We ARE energy as is everything... Could it mean then that if I focused well enough, that I could affect the person next to me by channeling my energy? Do we have any limits aside from our own mental barrier? Maybe focused properly, could we see other peoples energy? The possibilities.........
It wasn't going to stop there though. I needed more information, so I started googling and came across 2 other books that I could read, and thus read those as well. These books helped me understand how to get what I want out of life. They helped me realize that (for example) simply looking at the positive in everything and NEVER focusing on the negative, that one can do and be anything they so desire.
I'm now at a point where I feel completely different about myself and about those around me. I know what I need to do to move forward and have already started planning my future.
It's interesting how I was once a tad bit shy and unsure about what my next move would be, and how I could get to where I need to go. While now, I feel confident in myself and no longer think of HOW I will get to my goal, but just know that I WILL get to my end goal.
Right now, that goal will be a mixture of Photography and Programming. However I WILL start a wedding photography company ideally by end of July or August. From there... New goals will surface. However as a wedding photographer, expect me to truly succeed!

Fly Away
I love this song by T-Pain. For me, it's absolutely calming!
I wish I can grow some wings
And get up out of this situation
I do it with no hesitation, yeah
I wish I can know those things
That everybody else knows
It's my decision, don't need permission to
[Chorus]
Fly away (way), fly away (way)
I go through this everyday
So why fly away (way)
I can fly away (way), fly away (way)
No one listen to what I say
So why fly away
Somebody told me (told me), today was my day (day)
They see me on the big screen and they see me on the stage
And it must be true, 'Cause, here I am, here I am baby
I wanna thank you
[Chorus]
Let me fly away (way)
Fly away (way), fly away (way)
And I go through this everyday
So why fly away (way)
I can fly away (way), fly away (way)
I go through this everyday
So why fly away (way)
And I go through this everyday
So why fly away, fly away yeah
Fly way yeah
No one listen to what I say
So why fly away (way) [Repeat]
I play it frequently... I play it loud... I play it with the bass up high.
I wish I can grow some wings
And get up out of this situation
I do it with no hesitation, yeah
I wish I can know those things
That everybody else knows
It's my decision, don't need permission to
[Chorus]
Fly away (way), fly away (way)
I go through this everyday
So why fly away (way)
I can fly away (way), fly away (way)
No one listen to what I say
So why fly away
Somebody told me (told me), today was my day (day)
They see me on the big screen and they see me on the stage
And it must be true, 'Cause, here I am, here I am baby
I wanna thank you
[Chorus]
Let me fly away (way)
Fly away (way), fly away (way)
And I go through this everyday
So why fly away (way)
I can fly away (way), fly away (way)
I go through this everyday
So why fly away (way)
And I go through this everyday
So why fly away, fly away yeah
Fly way yeah
No one listen to what I say
So why fly away (way) [Repeat]
I play it frequently... I play it loud... I play it with the bass up high.

Life's Law of Attraction!!
This will be a quick post... however I've been CONSTANTLY growing lately....
I feel happier than ever before. I've been making more friends than ever before and learning about the law of attraction vs NLP vs how to live a powerfully positive life.
To being, I wish people would read The Secret, watch What the bleep do we know, and NLP for dummies.
From there.. FEEL the positivity and good shall come your way.
I will update this more soon... it's been forever!!!!
Quote I found from a website:
Be easy about it. Don't rush into things. Savor them more. Make more plans and be more deliberate and specific about the plans that you are making, and in all that you do, let your dominant intent be to find that which pleasures you as you imagine it. Let your desire for pleasure, your desire for feeling good, be your only guiding light. As you seek those thoughts that feel good, you will always be in vibrational harmony with the Energy that is your Source. And under those conditions, only good can come to you, and only good can come from you.
