Artzmark

So for those of you who do not know what my title is for this particular post. It means arts mark. I have a teacher from my past who is a professional painter who is phenomenal in his art. He named his main website artzmark. It is kind of nice, because his name is Marc. So it is almost like some how incorporating his name into the website with out really trying to that. The name is more so for the mark of art so he twisted his name into it being artz mark. Which I find very catchy. Marc has done a few painting classes with us and it was very educational. He has painted a lot of people like the Dali Lama( not sure if I spelled that right, but I am sure you all know who I mean), Geri Halliway, Einstein just to name a few. So please check Marc out at his site.Marc's Site . He is so amazing. His paintings are so realistic when it comes to people. He has an eye for other forms of art as well. You will have to check it out to see what I am talking about. I find he has what it takes more than any other artist I have ever come across.  So please check the site out if you have a love and passion for art and exquisite paintings.

Breaking Dawn Movie

Alright so the movie is finally out in theaters and what is so not fair at all is I do not get to see it until my husbands day off. I really want to see this movie so much!! I am in love with the book and all the characters. Although, I am not fond of Kristen Stewart's acting. I do like her as a person ( not hating on her in any way), I just do not prefer her acting. She acts the same way in all her films as she does when you see her in interviews on tv. It just drives me insanely crazy. Acting is about acting like someone else. The character described in the so called script. I do not understand why Kristen is some form of acception to that. I always felt if they can not act then do something else. I know it takes a lot of guts to get in front of a camera to begin with to act at all. I am no actress, but I can certainly tell when someone can act or not. Just in case if some how or some way Kristen Stewart you ever stumble upon my blog I do not have anything against you just to clarify that. So anyways back to the topic which is not even about Kristen's acting. Breaking Dawn!! Like wow I just want to see the movie so bad. The trailers look so amazing. Although Edward seems to keep getting new hair styles and cuts in each movie. The first movie he has the hair that is described in the book. The golden bronze hair, then new moon he just has like a mixture of brown hair and dirty blond hair with a little bit of high lights, then eclipse he has light brown hair. Now in Breaking Dawn from what I have noticed from seeing the trailers he is like a dark brown. Actually the same thing goes for Esme, Alice, Jasper and Emmett. Anyways enough of my ranting on what I keep on noticing and not liking. I do not want to appear as if I do not like the series, because I do. I just wish they would stick to the script of the book. I am well aware they keep having new people producing and filming the movies, but at least make the characters look the same and according to how they are described in the book. It would make real "TWI-HARDS" happy. So ya I can not wait to see the movie. I hope it is as awesome as it appears to be on the trailers.

Rude Police Officer

I have to say WOW!!! Seriously I have never met the most rudest police officer ever in my entire life until now.  I'll tell you briefly what happened today. Alright so I have moved away to Edmonton and not familiar with the area and don't know much about the place and I do not get out much until my husbands days off. So today was my husband first day off after a 6 day work week. I had to leave my stuff down at my grandma's and have her mail up my stuff as parcels. I was not home when the day before 6 boxes arrived to my door, so we had to go pick them up. After getting me and the baby ready to go out along with Jonathan getting himself ready, we drove across the street to Londonderry Mall (where the post office is for us to pick up our parcels). Jonathan pulls up to the side of the mall and walk in to pick up our parcels. As I am waiting for approximately 10 minutes I take a look out the drivers window to see a Police officer parked beside me. Then he looks at me with his hands waving in a sarcastic motion. So I hold my finger up to let him know one moment please, so I dig out my phone and call Jonathan's cell to tell him there's a police officer parked beside our car and he doesn't looked pleased. So I waited a few minutes hoping Jonathan would hurry up. Then the police officer is whaling his hands in the air me as if to mean you stupid idiot. So I got out of the car and asked him what is wrong (this is where the rudeness takes place). I asked him is there anything wrong, then he replies to me saying that I'm parked in a no parking zone, which there are no visible signs to determine it, but he pointed the sign out to me which was very well hidden if you ask me there also was no yellow lines painted on the ground to indicate otherwise so I automatically and wrongly assumed that is no big deal to park there. Then the police officer said I should have noticed or maybe I just don't know how to read. I told him that we were parked there to pick up our parcels and we would be on our way. Then he said well it shows in our system that you only live in walking distance to the mall so there was no need to drive over to pick up my parcel. Then I told this officer that I did say Parcels with an S at the end not Parcel and that we had 6 parcels coming. Then finally after Jonathan arrived with the parcels I loaded them up and told Jonathan to talk with the officer. He said to Jonathan and I quote what Jonathan told me what was said from the officer "this is me not being an asshole by not giving you a $150 ticket, and park some where else next time you pick up parcels". Although from the very beginning he was actually being the word that he claimed he was not being, by being insulting to me saying that the both of us obviously cannot read. So this guy I am not fond of, if this police officer would approached the issue in a better matter then I might have told him that I am new to the area and still not yet familiar with this particular malls requirements of no parking along the perimeter and that it would never happen again. I do not feel that people that are in the position of authority that act like this and abuse their authority to verbally be rude to people knowing that they can get away with because we cannot talk back,  or even say to them that they are being rude because they can lock us up for a night in jail, just because they can. I hope to never see this officer again. I also hope that not every police officer is not like this up here in Edmonton, because not even the police down home act so rudely.

No Names On Food

So my husband, baby and I are living with my parents in Edmonton in a town house in a lease. They drive me crazy. They say that there is no names or labels on food, but when it comes to certain things no one is allowed to touch it, and it is also something that everyone in the house likes, if is stuff they bought we can't touch, but when we buy the same thing we still can not eat it.  Then they also say that if we have certain treats that we want for ourselves to put it down stairs in our area of the house. Also if I'm buying stuff for lunches for my husband for work and they say it's okay and they won't touch it, but then we come home a day after groceries are bought and the stuff is half eaten. They always try to make themselves appear to other people who do not live with us look like they are awesome and so good to us. When we do decide to take treats into our area of the house that is non refrigerate foods then we get called selfish. And heaven forbid I approach them on it, because they feel guilty and all they can come up with is that my husband and I are selfish for doing so. My husband likes sandwiches for work and then I buy like packages of lunch meat that is suppose to last at least 2 weeks, but they make a meal out of it and it ends up lasting at least 2 days. I am so sick of just because they are the older set of couples in this town house with us they think they can take over everything. I am tired of going into the fridge and I am told to help myself when really I am not even allowed to help myself to things that we buy with our own money. So lately we have only been buying the basics, stuff that no one cares to fight over for food and stuff. Also my mom always brings up the fact that when my husband first came here he took on a low paying job, and my father had a better paying job, so when they put money towards the town house my mom brings up the fact that even though my husbands whole pay was put into the house that because of whose check is bigger she brings up that my father paid more than Jonathan, but now my husband does not have a crap job and gets paid more than my dad. Still it is not good enough, she tries to say that we owe them money for the times of Jonathan not making a big enough pay, so what my dad covered willingly on Jonathans behalf she claims that we still owe them. So I mentioned about getting a mini fridge to put in the basement for our foods that we want to keep for Jonathans work lunches and that is us being selfish as well according to her. It's not like we're allowed to have what we want out of our own grocery order heaven forbid keep aside just the food for Jonathan's lunches. I am tired of living with my family. Nothing has changed since I left home and now having to live with them again for a whole due to a lease is torture.
