Public pillow fights at Yonge-Dundas Square.
I stopped by Saturday afternoon with a friend to watch as random strangers pulled out their pillows for some fun. We laughed ourselves silly as people enthusiastically returned to their childhood days and participated in a good-hearted pillow fight.
It wasn’t violent. Some people were dressed up. A few little kids happily and safely participated. And it lasted a very long time.
Good job Newmindspace!
I’ve decided that it may be better to write about anything and everything until I find what my blogging voice is. So while I may talk about technology, social media and PR, I will also talk about anything else that catches my attention.
Such as the post that I wrote two weeks ago (now posted below) on skating at the Harbourfront Centre.
Hopefully this will help avoid blogging dry spells…
In an effort to get out and enjoy my Spring Break and explore the city, I went out to the Natrel Skating Rink at the Harboufront Centre today.
Skating there has been a part of my Canadian winter memories for about ten years now. Each winter I would go skating with my high school band or with a group of friends in the evening. Skating at night, we would enjoy the magical feeling of skating by the lake on the rink, lit up by Christmas lights and spot lights and listening to some oldies but goodies.
Today I did something different. I went by myself during the day and was pleasantly surprised. I was able to skate for more than an hour in the bright, soul-warming sunshine with only six others on the ice. At first it was quiet but half way through they turned the music on.
Either way, it was both refreshing and relaxing. I enjoyed the rush of the cold (but not freezing) air as I skated and watched couples – both young and young at heart – skate, dogs run by merrily with their owners, and some stray planes land over the water at the City Airport in the distance.
When I finished, I was happy that I took a chance. I got over my reservations about exploring on my own and got over my lazy desire to stay on the couch with my computer and the tv (which was great over the weekend but now it was time to move on).
Afterwards, I enjoyed a nice warm drink at a nearby coffee shop, as per tradition. I was happy I came and even happier to know that I’m taking two of my international friends from school there tomorrow.
