the race is long & in the end it’s only with yourself.

This gives me such fond memories, reminds me to to worry, about things that matter. It’s a real feel gooder. If you’ve never heard/read this before, let me share it with you. I know you’ll like it.

Ladies and Gentlemen of the class of ’97
Wear sunscreen
If I could offer you only one tip for the future, sunscreen would be
It. The long term benefits of sunscreen have been proved by
Scientists whereas the rest of my advice has no basis more reliable
Than my own meandering
Experience…I will dispense this advice now.

Enjoy the power and beauty of your youth; oh nevermind; you will not
Understand the power and beauty of your youth until they have faded.
But trust me, in 20 years you’ll look back at photos of yourself and
Recall in a way you can’t grasp now how much possibility lay before
You and how fabulous you really looked….You’re not as fat as you
Imagine.

I was featured on the Modls Moguls blog today. They said all kinds of nice things about me. Read it here.

“Don’t be fooled by her funky style and big smile, Casie Stewart means business. Recognized for her Social Media savvy, Casie’s list of accomplishments in 2010 alone reads like the ultimate resume.”

How amazing is this shot I took this morning at Cherry Beach. Perfect form!

 

I’d like to say thank you in a very special way…

In appreciation to Ford Canada for giving me a car to enjoy this weekend I went out of my way to do something nice.

me, you & her in the park. let’s play.

A guitar park date would be really nice. Once I wrote a song about a boy who plays guitar, it was back in Australia circa 2004. Tried to find it in my old myspace blog and got bored of myspace. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz! One day I’ll share it with you

yesterday on twitter, this happened:

work that communicates with everyday people & socially relevant themes

Saw this painted over billboard near Spadina/Queen. I love the street art we have in this city.

You can’t really tell but it says “Are you really an asshole or just insecure?

I tweeted a link to some new street art earlier but here’s some of the photos. So neat.

Lego love.

Pretty PBR flowers.

Like this one too.

See the rest of the pix & info on BlogTO.

P.S. I made this (for Keri).

we were born the same year but she looks a little older

I asked Sean if we can wash it outside in out bikini’s when it get’s warm out. Ahhhhhh.

The weekend has been so nice, I don’t even mind if it rains today. Actually, I like it. I’ve got lots to get done, report, expenses etc. Off to a Jukari class at King West Fitness now. Might cruize somewhere after and car office with my computer and rocketstick.

I’d like to take a second to say thanks to the following awesome companies for being part of this weekend & my life (blog).

lemme take you for a ride

Let’s go.

I’ve not been someone who loves driving until now. I love grabbing the keys and hitting the open road, going anywhere I want. Today, I visited old neighbourhoods. I’ve driven a few different cars over the last few months (Ford, GM, Toyota). Really like how this baby drives, takes corners well,  is nice on the highway, leather seats, sunroof, voice activated in-vehicle system. Looking forward to trying a hybrid car and also cars with more power.  The SE Sport Ford Fusion has a 3.5 V6 engine, this one is 2.5L & 4 cylinder.

Used to live in the Annex when I first moved to TO. There was five of us at 613 Bathurst, here.

Went here on a date once. There was a sign that said “This is the place” and we went inside to find a house turned into a bar. It was really fun/cute. I’d like to do it again.

Been ages since I listened to 102.1 The Edge.  Was full of greatness today.

Bellwoods looked bare.

Am I bad for camera driving? I wasn’t texting or tweeting.

Used to live on Manning at Queen too. That was a crazy time. Moving out of that hood was good.

I always used to go here for breakfast. Had a birthday there once too. Sad it burned down.

Love this big bag from Nella-Bella’s Melbourne Collection. Thanks TAREK! Great travel or overnight bag, fits all my gadgets, products & toiletries. Colour is great for summer, which I hope get’s here soon.

P.S. Some friends just launched a blog for the startup community in Canada called Maple Butter. Maple Butter brings meaty how-to’s, case studies and reports from people on the front lines of successful startups.  FOUNDERS UNITE!

you read it in the newspaper, ask your girlfriends and see if they know

Had ice cream at Ed’s Real Scoop in the Beaches today. Chocolate & homemade. So good.  I useally go for chocolate, nothing to fancy or with accessories.

Carly gave me the great suggestion. Y’know Carly? She’s my friend/agent/blondetourage blog babe who moved to Florida last year and she’s COMING BACK this week. Yay.

Gonna go driving to this album tomorrow. So many good songs.

I was creeping Jack White… Did you know he is Scottish, Polish and Canadian descent. He’s quite fascinating if you don’t already know.

This was a funny comic to get today, right after a wedding and all. Cheryl & Jared  had cheesecake. It was good.

Tonmorrow I’m checking out all the nerdy tech stuff  about this Ford Fusion.  Maybe a car wash too.

I have the Fusion Sport, black leather interior, 2.5L.  Fun car to drive.  I really like cars. Grew up hanging in the garage with Dad.  He builds hot rods. Had his own shop in Cambridge when I was growing up, “Toys for Boys”. Saw this today and thougt of you Dad.

The Beaches are so pretty. Reminds me of where I grew up. Old houses, tall trees, narrow streets, sidewalk stairs, front porch.

If I had a car full time I reckon I could live in the East End. (OMG, did I just say that?)  Queen West hipsters move to the East End when they grow up right? haha

Would be rad to build/reno an old house here.  Fantastzed about that today, my car, my house, my street.

I see my house and so can you. Dude at Amsterdam said this building on left is going to be a Loblaws. Saw a super old pic & Loblaws has owned it since before any other this stuff was built.

I need to change the clock it’s not on Spring daylight savings yet.

Vroooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooom baby!
