Simply put, Inception is an incredible film! The visuals are stunning, but Hans Zimmer’s amazing soundtrack is also nothing short of fantastic. Take a little listen below….very “Dark Knight”-esque.

Just got back from our family holiday to California! It was brief (4 days) but a fun was to relax after flying for 7 weeks :-)

Soundtrack #3 – Inglourious Basterds

Quentin Tarantino’s latest film, in addition to be incredibly well put together, has some of the nicest film music as well! While most if not all of the music is not originally written for the film, QT did an excellent job of making everything fit nicely. Take a listen below :)

I Have My PPL :-)

I now am a proud holder of my private pilot license!

This summer, I have been learning to fly at the Durham Flying Centre school in Oshawa. It has been awesome! I have been learning in Cessna 150/152s, and completed a course that normal takes a few months up to a year to complete. Learning to fly through cadets is great because your course is condensed into only 6 weeks! Oh, and its free paid for by tax money ;-)

Here are some of my favourite shots from my Air Cadet Squadron’s trip to Washington last week. Most of the aeroplane pictures are from the Andrews Air Force Base airshow!

University Update

In only 17 days, I will basically have decided the rest of my life o.0

Right now, I have been accepted to Queens Engineering, Waterloo Mechatronics Engineering, and U of Toronto’s Engineering Science program. I am honestly completely torn between Waterloo and U of T. Waterloo has the excellent Co-Op, but Toronto will allow me to specialize in aerospace – something that very much interests me.

Either way, I will be getting into an awesome, current, and challenging program at a top level university. The stress of deciding the rest of my life is certainly lingering in the back of my mind.
