Filmmaker Tatia Pilieva came up with the idea of finding the "awkward intimacy" in strangers who were randomly chosen for this film. What Tatia did hit the web and went viral reaching about 8 million views in just one day. Her video being the topic of the day! So what is this "FIRST KISS" video about? Tatia brought strangers together according to their sexual orientations, she then put them together in a studio room with cameras watching them and told them to kiss. Weird right? What seemed very weird to others came out to be something beautiful and of course, very, very awkward. In fact, the strangers were meeting for the first time when entering the studio so there wasn't any kind of introduction before meeting at the studio. At first, the "couples" stood there awkwardly not knowing what to do until.. magic happened.. They were able to go through with it beautifully. A guy suggested a stare down until the kiss, another grabbed her by the waste and went straight for it. Now i really do wonder, after this intimate beautiful awkward kiss, do these strangers meet after for dinner? What comes out of this for the chosen strangers? Well we'll never know but here is a beautiful 3 minute film created by Tatia.

Downtown Toronto - Dundas Square. (Money Man)
While walking around "Downtown Toronto" today i saw a man standing covered in $10 bills. I couldn't believe my eyes, i mean, why would someone find the need to pin all this money to his coat? The weird part was seeing people go up to him, grab the $10 bills and then simply walk away. After approaching the man i found out that this was more than a publicity stunt but a "good-deed" plan. Everyone who walked up to him & took a $10 bill had to do a good deed for the day. All we had to do was promise him that a good deed will be done in return. Does it really take all this to have someone in Toronto do a good deed? At the end of the day, I am going home with that thought in mind. Before I can even spend the money, all I'll think about is the man that gave it to me & the deed i must do in return. Anyways, Bravo stranger! To everyone recording and taking the money, i hope you find yourself doing something good for anyone this week. Pass it on.
