When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy.’ They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.

An older track that I rediscovered while studying for final exams this term (which I am proud to say has been my most successful academic term to date). Beautiful vocals from Medina over top of Deadmau5′s always hypnotic chords. Merry Christmas!

An amazing video summary of the year that Google started putting together last year. To me the biggest story of the year is the collective protesting that we have seen take place around the world. Whether protesting for political reform (Egypt & Sudan) or equality (Occupy), it seems that citizens around the world feel more empowered than ever before. With the proliferation of information access through social media, this is not a trend I think will fade away anytime soon.

To only further solidify this ongoing trend, TIME Magazine named it’s coveted Person of the Year to simply be “The Protestor”.

Check out the video above for an inspiring and eye opening short feature on a young Winnipeg entrepreneur . Peter Takis may only be 16 years old but that didn’t stop him from launching a rapidly growing street wear brand from his bedroom in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

I have never met Peter personally, but I can’t help but be impressed by how mature, confident and poised he is about his business at such a young age.

Definitely going to have to make a trip to The Urban Bakery soon and pick up a Local Advancers shirt.
