Kotama Boubane is a Canadian artist who is new in my still short artists-i-admire list. His Melting Words series is a playful and creative take on the breakup lines we have all uttered or heard of. Check out the whole series at http://www.kotamabouabane.com

The first of many designers and styles that I look up to. David Mascha is an graphic designer based in Vienna, Austria. He mainly does his work for clothing companies, magazines, and, I'm guessing, the occasional walls.

"You know, its all well and good to talk about happy endings?
But if a person can't deliver. If he keeps screwing up.
Well eventually I guess he kinda have to say "fuck you."

Or words to that effect..."

mbstek sportsfest

Last Saturday the company had its first sportsfest. The opening ceremonies were held at The Annex, located along Shaw Blvd. I hope this becomes an annual thing because it would be a really good opportunity for all employees to get to know each other. The first set of basketball games were held that day. We had a game against the Green Vipers. The game was great. A few tempers flared along the way but that's all just part of the game.

An article by Mick Hunter published on The Observer

1 Any stories about ex-boyfriends, even ones told against the poor blokes. If your ex was a violent, brainless, tattooed ex-con, this will only make us feel boring and unmanly. And scared.

2 The phrase 'I'd say it's bang-on average, if not slightly bigger'. Best to steer clear of the size issue. Like us talking about your weight, it can only lead to misunderstanding and hurt.

3 Obsessive accounts of your diet and exercise regime. Men like skinny women, true. But they dislike being exposed to the borderline eating disorders and pathological obsessiveness that produce them. And curvy and sane always beats mad and thin. Eventually.

4 The accusing phrase, 'What's wrong with the blue dress, then?' after we have said we like the red one.

5 Any details of your day at work. Although men can find the most basic things endlessly fascinating - the number of buttons on their shirts, farting - they will suddenly develop ADD when it comes to your professional life. Unless you are a porn actress. No, actually, even then...

6 Any information about things you thought about buying. We are perfectly happy to admire actual purchases, but yearning for those phantom shoes/dress/bag exasperates us.

7 Stories about other men patronising you. This will give us an irresistible urge to ruffle your hair and say in a kids-TV voice, 'Awww, did dey? Did dey do dat to oo?' I know, sometimes we're asking for trouble.

8 The word 'Fine' as a stand-alone sentence. The scariest syllable in the female vocabulary.

9 The sound of weeping. It destroys us.

10 Any details of strife you may be having with your female friends. The endless round of hurt and rapprochement that constitutes girls' friendships mystifies us. If she's that much trouble just delete her from your bloody mobile.

11 The phrase, 'Hang on, I'll just reply to this text before we order'. We want first claim on your attention, woman.

12 The phrase, 'Can you turn over, you're snoring'. Great, that's both of us awake.

13 The words 'Am I special? Am I?' Especially if you are drawing a circle around our nipple with your finger at the time.

14 Anyone else's name, in your sleep.

15 Your dreams. Unless we're in them. And in a good light, too. If not, save 'em for the shrink.

Standing for what you believe in
regardless of the odds against you
and the pressure that tears at your resistance
means courage

Keeping a smile on your face
when inside you feel like dying
for the sake of supporting others
means strength

Stopping at nothing
and doing what in your heart
you know is right
means determination

Doing more than is expected
to make another's life a little more bearable
without uttering a single complaint
means compassion

Helping a friend in need
no matter the time or effort
to the best of your ability
means loyalty

Giving more than you have
and expecting nothing
but gratitude in return
means selflessness

Holding your head high
and being the best you know you can be
when life seems to fall apart at your feet
and facing each difficulty with the confidence
that time will bring you better tomorrows
and never giving up
means believing in yourself...
