This is my first blog entry. Pretty lame I know.

I started a blog long time ago, but I was not sure why I wanted to do it.  It was just cool to have a blog at a time.
This time around I have a purpose.  I wanted to get close and personal with people on-line and I will be implementing the blog into my website (www.ewaromanowicz.com) at some point.  Eventually I will get Ruby and I will get Rail and create the website as I want it to look like.  For now this Google provided blog needs to do the job.  There are several reason I want to get the blog up and running.
1) I want to get a distance from the social websites such as Facebook and also get a brought audience.
2) I want to be able to still communicate what I'm doing in my personal life and art life to be in touch in people that are interested in these kind of things about me.
3) Be able to present where I am in my life and where my personal development is leading me to.

The reason to start my blog early before I am able to complete my neat looking website in Ruby on Rails is the fact that my project is not going as well as I planned.  I had to resign from a web developer that tried to get my website better, and I'm glad I did not give him any money up front.  Now I'm stuck working on it myself which I admit I'm dragging.  I will one day I promise fix the website and put my blog there, but for now this needs to suffice.

Another reason for the blog is the fact that I just read Wil Wheaton's book "Just a Geek" and I realized that if one starts writing, no one knows how successful it will be.  Once just needs to take a chance and go with it.  At some point maybe I will get 100s of e-mails with the question if the leaches were real... who knows.

New Years Resolutions

Beginning of September feels just like the beginning of the year and I always think of doing something new or different. My first choice is often education, since it is the beginning of the new school year and more institutions offer classes that will help me my artistic and personal development.  I checked OCAD ( http://www.ocadu.ca/programs/continuing_studies.htm ) for their Saturday courses and I found that the "Portraiture fundamentals" course is offered this fall.  I want to take this course as I never did any formal sculpting and the idea of this course is very appealing to me.  The course starts with 3 classes of sculpting of a human head and then 3 classes of drawing. Unfortunately I realized that I cannot take any Saturday courses due to the recording session in October for the new CD with Mississauga Festival Choir.  I also find the weekday courses very tiring as I would need to go to these classes right after work with practically no dinner and get...

Alps - Mississauga Festival Choir Europe Tour 2014

From Vienna we drove into the Alps.  It was fun watching the mountains growing in front of us. Even with a glare on the bus windows I tried to take some pictures of the experience of driving through the Alps and its fabulous lakes. The destination of our trip was Hallstatt.  A tiny town with absolute stunning views!  Our short visit to Hallstatt included singing at the Lutheran Church of Hallstatt which is a well known landmark with its tall picked roof rising above the town. We then continued our trip to Saltzburg.  Here are some additional mountain pictures that I was able to capture on the way. Hallstatt is one of the places I plan to visit again and stay for at least a week if not more relaxing, looking and hiking at the mountains and enjoying the peace and quiet of the place.

Venice - Mississauga Festival Choir Europe Tour 2017

First stop Venice.  This city of 118 islands. It feels like every inch of the land and the lagoon reclaimed space needed to be utilized to the fullest. Narrow water passages and even narrower walkways creates the unique atmosphere of Venice. Probably the only place on earth were bus is a boat, police is traveling by boat, and even ambulance is a boat. One of the things to notice about Venice, is the absence of trees and greenery.  Besides the numerous balcony gardens, there are no parks we were able to see in Venice.  The town is flooded numerous times during the year and any green space turned to swamp or a mud puddle.   Fun fact: The ground floor of all the buildings do not hold any living space. Fun Fact: At any given day, there are more tourists in the city than there are residents. A lot of the people that work in Venice come each morning from the mainland.  The requirement to transfer all the goods from mainland to Venice, is also raising ...
