Break The Stigma of Safe Places
Well, tonight I uploaded my secret squirrel Project. Lately I've been so tired of all this garbage about how student's who use and need safe spaces on campus are wimps, and not strong. I made this video to combat that.

EB Games WishList, if I ever won mine.
I'll be the first to admit, I'm not a hardcore gamer. There are thousands, upon thousands of games I have no clue about. Playing video games for me, has always been away to take a break from life, and get lost in a world of familiar fantasy. I didn't have many friends growing up, so a good crack at a new game kept boredom at bay during rainy days, and days so cold the snowmen would huddle about the campfires.
However I've always had a bit of an EB games WishList. The things I always fantasize about winning. I've always had a rule of only buying video games that have been recycled, or have been out for years. It's the most cost effective solution. My academics have always taken front seat, college expenses, and helping my parents with bills by working with their company and flowing the income right back into their pocket, it doesn't leave me much of anything in my piggy bank beyond lunch once a week, and a reserve fund for cheer competitions.
I thought I'd share my EB games Wish List.

| I've bought games here me, whole life |
| It's Sooooo Pretty! |
1. PS4 Drake's Uncharted 4 Bundle: I love the Drake's series, and I was heartbroken to find out that it's fourth instalments would only be designed for the PS4. To put it into perspective the PS3 was put out in 2006, I got my PS3 in December 2013. Around the time it became next to impossible to find games for my old PS2. This would be an amazing piece of hardware. I'll probably get my hands on PS4 in 2023.

3. Tony Hawk Pro Skater 5: Tony Hawk games were my childhood, I'd spend my weekends trying to beat the game. I never have used a cheat code for games. I was the kid who wouldn't use a cheat sheet even when we were told to make them for tests. Just couldn't do it.
4. Lego Batman: The Video Game & Lego Batman 3: Beyond Gotham: What can I say Lego Batman 2 got me addicted to the Lego Video Game franchise. There is just something so appealing about owning the entire collection of games.
That's really all there is to my wishlist. These are the things I most want, and yearn for when it comes to videos however the biggest thing being the Uncharted 4 Bundle.

Gotta Love That Lego
I Love Lego
Growing up, I'd always loved building and using my imagination to create, well anything. I remember having some kind of Malibu Beach building block dream house, in our house. It was probably my sister's and most likely Mega Blocks. However I played with it the most, G.I Joe, Batman....They needed a base of operation! Don't you judge me.
The thing is, I'd always sworn by Lego my friend's had some of the coolest Lego sets and just plain tubs of blocks to build this, and that with. I had a pale full of hand-me down Legos that were hand-me downs from my older siblings. I was the after-thought baby. Most of my siblings are 20 years my senior, while the closest to be is 6 years older ( I digress). However I'd had things to build with, and my parents probably didn't have tons of extra cash around. I've always been the child that asked for things I needed more than just wanted. I figured, when I grew up, and got older I'd have money to buy my own lego. Ahhh, the joys and innocence of youth.
Then I grew up, I knew more about the value of a dollar and the cost of life. My money started going from my savings to education, and pitching in at home where I could by getting groceries. I'm on a very tight student budget, with student loans. However one day I'll get me some Lego.
I got my very first set of Lego my Freshman year of College. I was invited to a Christmas Party and that was what I'd ended up with at the end of one of those party/ secret Santa number game things. There was a $10 limit on gifts. It was a simple Lego Creator 3-in-1 plane Toy. I played with it for hours, It was the first set that was Mine. It wasn't a hand-me down or previously loved. I still have 1.5 to 2 years left of college, hopefully I'll land a good job in the field.
Since I'm a dreamer. I'm going to list my Top 5 Lego related things, The one's I'd pick If I could have them today.
1. My First choice would be a Lego Millennium Falcon, Han Solo will always be my favourite Star Wars Character. I used to play in my closet when I was really little and pretend it was my ship. This would be so cool to build and it'd hold a place in my heart.
2. Poe's X-Wing Fighter, I finally saw The Force Awakens. Poe might just be my second favourite Pilot in Galaxy Far Far Away. This also looks like a fun little ship to build. Should of seen some of my " Well I Tried" creations for an X-Wing back in the Day.
3. The Avengers might just be one of my favourite series of Movies, Tv shows and Comic Books. Iron Man and Hawkeye are my favourite characters of Time. The Avengers Tower would not only be an amazing build but look awesome as a decorative piece in my Bedroom.
4. Lego Architecture New York City. This has to be one of favourite places in the United States. New York is home to some of the richest and most authentic Italian Pizza outside of Italy. The culture, and restlessness of the city our Beautiful and I'd love to have a piece of the city at home.
5. Last but not least the Lego Avengers video game. I've never had much in the way of Video Games. However for the past couple years I've received a Lego video game at Christmas. I fell in Love with Lego Batman 2, and this year I got Lego Marvel Super Heroes. I usually wait a couple years and then tell my parents to get the recycled versions for Christmas. However this game is something that I'd love in my collection. Since a PS4 is going to have to wait for 5 years before I own one, a PS3 copy would have to do.
There you have it, my Top 5 Lego Picks.

I finally did It, What I got for Christmas
I've been going back and forth for a long time about creating a video blog. More specifically a youtube channel that was far more personal than my main channel. I'd done a bit of vlogging in the past and I stepped down from it. I was getting bullied online and it really sucked. I really wasn't in the best headspace at the time. However I finally did it, I made my personal youtube.
I decided to start with a Christmas Haul video for 2015, not that I wanted to Brag. I just really liked the Christmas Haul videos other Youtubers have posted over the years. I think my favourites are the one's done by Jim Chapman, he's brilliant. Here is his 2015 Birthmas Haul video, Yeah he's one of those poor blokes who hope we remember his December Birthday. I'm super thankful for the things I received this past Christmas, but more importantly I created wonderful memories with my family and friends over the Holidays.
My Upload Schedule I'm working with is a New Video every Friday.

2016, New Year, Same Old Me
Welcome to 2016, it's hard to believe 2015 went by so fast. 2015 has been a great year for me over all. I did things, things I hadn't done before. I'm no longer as anti-social as I once was. I have friends in my own peer group and it's amazing.

| Small Coed 4.2 |
This year I competed in my first Cheerleading competition back in May on my college's level 4.2 Small Coed Team, we came in 2nd. It was very different from doing shows with my old high school acrosport team. It was one intense spring for 2.5 minutes, instead of a 45 minute marathon of a show. I love both sports respectively, but I also love the change in pace. This year there is only one team a Level 6 Large Coed, and I'm looking forward to what we deliver in 2016!
I've never been a fan of the saying New Year, New Me. I don't want to be a New Me because I love myself, and I'm completely happy with who I am. I find that statement sends a negative message that for a whole year YOU weren't good.
However this year, I'd like to change some things, some habits that I have. I'd love to cut my soda consumption down at least by 25%, and I'd like to start eating healthier. This past semester I fell into the trap of regularly buying lunch on campus, or getting some Tim Hortons here and there and it really hit my bank account, and my waistline.
I'll definitely be going back to pre-dominantly packing lunch from home. I can have healthier and more hearty meals. I have a six hour long class this semester, and I think having my lunch handy on that day would be so much more appealing.
If anyone wanted to know, I'm a fan of the Easy Lunchboxes I've been using them for over a year and a half. They're super durable and have stood up to both my Dad and I carting them to work, school, sports, and a memorable off the top of my buddy's pick-truck. They come in some great colours as well.
I'd like to be a little more active in the weight room. I'm more the type to indulge in sport ball, and not bar bell. However moving up to level 6 coed, I need the gain some more explosive power in my upper body, something I have, however not on the level I'd like it to be at. I'd also like to drop a good 20lbs in effort to make tumbling less strenuous on my joints and easier to learn in terms of having to employ less power during skills.
The biggest thing, I want to make memories and effect positive change in this world, give people a reason to smile.

That Secret Christmas List
Ssshhh It's a Secret
Now Christmas is about making memories with the people you hold dear, and celebrating the birth of Jesus ( if you'r e into that). Now I've always been thankful for everything I've ever received during the holidays. Many of them I would not have survived school and life intact without. However we all do it, we all have that little list in our heads, of things we want, and will never put on that list our wives, husbands, siblings or parents have asked about.
For as me, as I grew older it became harder to produce that Christmas list my much older siblings and my parents requested each year. It wasn't so much not having any ideas, it was knowing the value of a dollar. I started to request simpler things that I needed for school or last year it was a pair of desperately needed snowboard bindings, that I put last on the list signifying it being not the most important on the list. I was blessed that year, Dad found away to get them for me. My parents new I'd been patching my bindings with spare parts since 2010, and they were too small.
This year I thought it'd be fun to put those few things I would love, but won't put on my Christmas list on here. Do any of you have those secret things?
1. A New York Rangers Martin St. Louis Jersey, ever since I was four years old I would ask Santa for a Rangers Jersey. I grew up and would put on the list to my parents. It was one of those Christmas wishes that ultimately did not come true. I got older and understood why, but I've always longed for one, and Marty is my favourite career player. This would be a win/win situation.
2. A Fighting '81 mug from Chicago Fire. It's kind of cheesy but I love the show and a mug just seems awesome. I need a morning hot chocolate mug.
3. Nfinity Halos, I'm a cheerleader and Nfinity are the go to brand. I'd be blessed to have new competition shoes.
4. Favourite T bedding Sheets from Pottery Barn Teen in a King. The look so cozy! I've never quite had new new sheets before mostly just hand-me downs from my oldest sister. It be cool to have a nice set of grey sheets to go with my navy comforter.
5. A Prime-Time collegiate locker by Gladiator Garage Works, I love the University of Kentucky it has the best cheer team. I'm an athlete who has to store there extra sports gear in their bedroom, as well as my camera gear. Something like this would not only be cool and quirky it'd serve so much function.
6. Then there are those amazing SMS Audio First Edition: Star Wars Rebel Alliance headphones. I'm a Digital Video Student and I do need good quality headphones, except I always buy dollar store budget earbuds to save money. These would speak to my geeky heart but serve me well in school.
Those are the things I secretly would love to have, granted they'd all serve a current need. However they are wants that I can do without or find was to adapt around. However the thought of them is nice.
