Hey Slicer's Maria started her own Tumblr account which she's really excited about.
She'll be posting mainly about photography, but also about music, films and other things that she loves. She'll also be doing some photography "how-to" posts. I.E. how to start your own dark room, and things like that.

Check it out and support her here: http://mariadaniel.tumblr.com/

Proud as Punch,

Tonight every television in the country will be set to the Canada vs USA gold medal men's hockey game.

This is the game that Canadians and Americans live for. The old rivalry between two neighbour nations. Two teams full of NHL All-Stars, the majority of which play side-by-side for their respective teams during the year, but once every 4 years the Olympics rolls around and the men must divide and conquer while draped in their nations colours.

There is no single sport closer to the heart of Canadians than hockey. We live it and we breathe it. We are the birth nation of the sport. It is ours... and only ours.

Sharing a boarder with one of the most self-righteous and self-proclaiming nations on the planet is not easy, which makes CAN/USA hockey games so important to the Canadian identity. We lose our great singers, actors and biggest brains to the US daily. We allow Hollywood to champion north and film their blockbuster hits in our nation while calling it "America". We let them have our game of basketball, we've shared our precious beers, we even allow their 18 & 19 year old teenagers across the boarder to drink alcohol legally, premature of their 21st birthday.

There is only one thing that we refuse to share with our American brothers and sisters. And that my friends, is HOCKEY.

It is ALL WE HAVE LEFT. It is the only thing they have yet to take from us, and we'll be damned if we see them take it from us in our OWN COUNTRY.

WE. OWN. HOCKEY.

With Glowing Hearts,

Since the Vancouver Olympics began a few weeks ago, Canada seems to have become the object of the worlds affection. (At least that's what we're telling ourselves).

Dwight from NBC's The Office gives you a quick rundown of essential Canadian facts.

We came across this video on twitter via @adriennepierce

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their mimicry, their passions a quotation.

Oscar Wilde

I feel unoriginal. It's a nagging feeling. It tugs at my chest, knocks at my thought. It's a painful feeling. But worse than that, it's frightening. I overheard a conversation the other day. It was one of those typical coffee shop conversations a girl was having with her friend. As they sipped strong black tea she said she isn't afraid of rejection, because we as people deal with it everyday. Constantly we reject or accept things, all things. We don't even realise we're doing it. I realise this, 'understanding' of such, isn't revolutionary, but I stared to think, and I'm asking which is worse; to feel unoriginal or to be rejected for your originality.

I hate rejection. But I also hate feeling like there is nothing 'sacred' to the individual that is me. If we look at all the people and things that surround us - for something to be completely unique is such a vulnerably beautiful thing.

Despite this, some are at times scared of their rareness. Perhaps due to the fear of rejection. And yet others, appear , and probably feel, electrified by their individuality. Personally, my inadequacies have stronger currents. To feel like everyone else is poisoning to the soul. But to be rejected when you are being yourself would mutiliate any self worth.

I don't know what else to say. Oh, the Winter Olympics are coming along well aren't they?

I'm about as excited as anyone about the NBA All Star weekend in Dallas, Texas (Side Note - The Slam Dunk Contest is tonight and the game will be on tomorrow night) but in the midst of my excitement I came across a bizarre video which has gone viral recently.

In the video you see a Toronto Raptors Cheerleader being "devoured" by a blow up raptor after the raptor air humps her. It's incredibly disturbing. The only thing I can think is... what are they doing in there? Is she doing a hand stand while he walks off the court with her.. like.. what is going on!?

Anyway, check out the fuckery below...

If you haven't already heard (God I hope you don't actually get your news from us) Qunicy Jones and Lionel Richie have teamed up once again to re-record Michael Jackson's "We are the World: The Remake". If you were watching the Grammy's Red Carpet tele-cast with Ryan Seacrest (shudder) a few nights ago, you would have seen Lionel "casually " bumping into every artist on the red carpet to remind them that he'd been in contact with "their people" and he's waiting for a response as to whether or not they'd be showing up to record. Seriously, this happened on live television people.

Basically he strong armed them into the studio.

I'm kidding, I'm sure they were all happy to be there helping to raise money for Haiti and it had nothing to do with their public image. At all. I mean, why else would Kanye show up? The Grammy's were far too public an affair for him to attend with all those lights and cameras and fans. He was too busy recording in some studio on some island (Hawaii I think). He likes the low-key affairs. Like this one. Nothing but him, other like-minded individuals that get him and his ego.

Joking aside, these wonderful singers, actors, talented people...and Ryan Seacrest, took time out of their schedules to remake Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie's classic hit and they did it for an incredibly worth while cause and they've decided that the perfect time and place to premier it is February 12th at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. We agree.

The list of artists collaborating is pretty epic. Every Tom, Dick and Harry in Hollywood was packed into the recording studio for this (actually, the same studio in Hollywood that was used to record the original), so we have no doubt that they will succeed in raising money for the Haiti relief fund.

NB. Not to be over shadowed or anything, Simon Cowell recorded something similar in the UK with a bunch of artists singing R.E.M's "Everybody Hurt's"

We're looking forward to it,

I know we recently had a Wayback Playback but my friend just sent me this link and I just had to post it up here for all of you to enjoy.

I had never seen the video until today but I can remember ever so clearly this womans operatic voice, "You are young, you are free, why don't you sleep with me." Wow... I was just transported to somewhere in the mid 90's...and it was SCARY as hell.

Here is Shut Up and Sleep with me by Sin with Sebastian,
