Steph. High school student. Class of 2012. Live in the 604.I'm probably the most interesting person you'll ever meet. Well, hopefully. I like sports and I don't care who knows. Top loyalties lie with the New Orleans Saints and the Vancouver Canucks. I also like Manchester United, Roger Federer, and the BC Lions. In love with music; namely dance, techno, pop, and oldies. I try my hardest and very best to be open-minded...opinions welcome but please be careful. Ok enough about me, just say hi already!
"Success demands singleness of purpose." - Vince Lombardi
Can we just take a moment to remember how hard it is to be a fan of any team in sport? I mean my team, the Vancouver Canucks, for example, is surely one of the saddest teams in history. We’ve held far too many memorials and lost far too many finals. When we are bad, we are really bad. And when we…
Toby Ng - The World of 100
Have you ever asked yourself, what would the World look like as a small community of 100 people? Probably not. However, it is something to think about, as the reality would be startling - as much as you’d think so, the village would only have 7 computers, and only 1 person in the World Village would be educated at University level.
These facts are something that designer Toby Ng has thought about very carefully, and turned the results of his findings into a series of twenty infographics depicting ‘The World of 100’. Although aesthetically beautiful, with sharp lines and bold, vibrant colours, these infographics are often horrifying.
The posters look as though they have come straight out of a children’s book; is this to mirror the naivety of those that are most likely to be looking at them on their computers?
“Look, this is the World we are living in.”

Six months and 82 games later, our city owes a huge congratulations to our 2011-‘12 Vancouver Canucks on another tremendous regular season!
Seriously
Why can’t people pay attention to their own damn team instead of going out of their way to insult others? That just makes you look fucking stupid and insecure.
EMBRACING BAD
Great! This concept shouldn’t be new to me. #embracethehate
Stop.
Breathe.
This can be exciting, and here’s why:

Wow, Forbes. What the hell happened? You were a reputable organization……that is, until now. Anyways, let me take the opportunity to say it’s quite disturbing how people always bring up Hurricane Katrina references regarding the Saints, especially since the hurricane itself has absolutely nada, zip, zilch, NOTHING to do with the team’s current troubles. I mean, I’m not from New Orleans by any sense of the word, but you absolutely don’t need to be to realize that thousands of people lost their lives during this time and the mere fact that this is no material to chuckle about. Of course, it’s easy to, if you’re cozy living in an area with no surrounding water. Hate all you want but at least be considerate….and btw, please choose better metaphors. Thanks.“Hurricane Goodell.”
Presented without comment, other than this one: Forbes can go to hell.

Holy fuck why is there no Popeyes where I live. I need these nowThey can take our coach and our draft picks and our money …
but they will never take OUR FRENCH FRIES
Thank you! Finally, someone who has the right kind of evidence to prove their point.Oh, a ‘bounty’ gave us a Super Bowl win, you say? That doesn’t look like a vicious or illegal hit to me. It looks like a beautiful interception that the Saints’ defense made to win the game.
So to all you stankin’ haters who want to put an asterisk by our SB win or take away our championship: SUCK IT.
Thank you for reading this and doing further research about Invisible Children (IC) and KONY 2012. In response to this explosion of interest about the KONY 2012 film, there have been hundreds of thousands of comments in support of the arrest of Joseph Kony and the work of Invisible Children….
Ugh.
Between the CoHo trade and the ever so shocking “Bountygate” ordeal, I don’t even know what to think anymore. I feel disgusted as a fan right now.
Maybe I should steer clear of any sports news for the time being, or until all this bs subsides.
