Winter is Coming... creative.DUNNING is ready!

I warned you all that Winter was Coming and I think it's here...
I've previously stated how you can be a Radical Roommate versus a Rotten one. But that is just brushing on the everyday actions you can take. I've never talked about the specific kinds of roommates you may encounter on your journey through life, learning & laughter.

So to celebrate the marvel that is Game of Thrones and knock out another video.. here it is.. a creative.DUNNING parody... A Game of Homes!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiCidFNtYpQ
Click here to go to the Video!
I would like to thank:
my best friend for helping me match characters to roommate personalities,
POP! Television Vinyl Figurines for the imagery
Ramin Djawadi for the marvelous Theme of Game of Thrones
and the audacity of a house (and roommates) I've had to survive through, as of late which inspired this video in the first place!

I'm sure some of you have had to deal with some of these... I'm sure some of you have been a few of these (myself included, see if you can guess which!) But most importantly I hope that you find this newest video funny if not relatable.

See if you can figure out all of the character I used. I'll give you a hint, there is a trick in the video with two of the characters (frankly because I ran out of pictures.. but still funny!) I'll be commenting the list in about a week's time so the first people to subscribe to my channel AND get the entire list correct will be entered for a chance to get a shout out in my next video.

Ice in the Bucket not in the Heart


The latest "viral video craze" has been these #IceBucketChallenge vids going around. But no one explained to me what exactly they were so like few others I paid no heed. Until two of my friends nominated me so I felt the need to research into what exactly ALS was...

ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease) is a progressive neuromuscular disease in which nerve cells die and leave voluntary muscles paralyzed.

Considering how I have no finances currently enough to donate respectively. I felt it fair to use creative.DUNNING to properly spread awareness about ALS. Not just post a video dumping water on my head and using #ALS hoping others would spark curiosity and research it themselves...

So here is my video... I nominated not only my beloved parents but the motorcycle foundation A.B.A.T.E (specifically Chapter Two of Woodstock, ON.)
I hope others actually use this chance to help spread awareness of the disease and how we can help, not only entertain themselves by dumping each other with ice water. It's great to make a viral video phenomenon but unless there are facts and a cause behind it then I wouldn't be proud to contribute to it.

Nut allergies aren't a game... not even in Baseball

It brings such joy to know kids of all ages will be able to sing "take me out to the ball game" again, and mean it. The Toronto Blue Jays may not 'always' be the greatest on the scoreboard, but they will be the greatest aid to allergy awareness!
 
Over the past few years the number of allergen-free sports section events has been on the rise. Giving patrons with food based allergies more relief to be in public and watch their favourite sports live! This list includes Chicago Cubs, Cincinnati Reds, New York Mets, White Sox, San Francisco Giants & our own Toronto Blue Jays!
The Toronto Blue Jays are pleased to offer families dealing with life threatening allergies a dedicated, comfortable and safe seating zone from which to enjoy the game. The Executive Lounge, which holds up to 80 people, will be cleaned in advance and devoted to the exclusive use of families who live with peanut/nut and other severe allergies. When the program was first announced in 2008, 40% of tickets for the first three dates sold out in two days.
Tickets for the Executive Lounge, located near Gate 3, are $45 per person (tax included). Families will be allowed to bring some approved snacks into the suite, as well as have the option to purchase specially selected food and beverage items. During these games, peanut and nut-based snacks will not be permitted into the Executive Lounge.
 
Keep track of all the nut-free baseball happenings here at PeanutFreeBaseball.com

Happy 100th creative.DUNNING

To celebrate JESSICA creative.DUNNING's 100th post I would like to introduce myself formally.

Now this video is special because its is barely edited and was surprisingly a lot of work. I never caught onto that "whiteboard: draw my life" craze but I figured to celebrate my 100th post I would give it a try... Let me tell you it is very hard to do when you have no tripod and no help.
 
 
Many of you know my perfectionist tendencies that usually lead to me doing a lot of things on my own. Despite that lack of proper equipment (caused by my lack of finances) I've been proud to blog for you all and create videos that you've loved (or at least laughed at) and supported so well.
 
This blog all started because of a class project in college (click here to look back at my very first post) and has since grown into the marvelous creation before you! I hope you have enjoyed my work over the years.
 
We have had many adventures together; through college, Florida, Disney World, humorous antics, business education & allergy awareness - and the new addition of DJ LuvSik! And to all of my family, friends and fans I promise the posts & videos aren't stopping anytime soon!
 
(And for those who want to take the challenge and count my posts... cause YOLO they have spare time and nothing to do... I have a few unpublished drafts that are added into my 100 count.. so technically this is my 94th published post... but Hey it fit with the theme!)

Welcome to the Interweb DJ LuvSik

Over the years I've been lucky to make many great friends and have support from many family.  Many of you have helped me with my blogging or my videos (sometimes against your will... but you got over it.)
 
I'd like to formally introduce my dear partner in crime, my magical music-man composer DJ Luv Sik! He's very talented and I hope that you all learn to love and support his tracks over the years as you have done for me.
 
DJ Luv Sik is the head of SO SIK Entertainment; look to him for all your musical, producing, engineer and DJ needs! He is taking care of the musical aspect of Creative.Dunning and I am more than eternally thankful to have made such a great friend. In return I have gained a new client to experiment.. I mean practise.. I mean utilize my advertising & marketing prowess on!
 
I've added a section to my blog to keep everyone updated on his musical happenings! But for now please check out his Facebook as it is brand new (and up-and-coming) along with his Youtube channel & LinkedIn if you have it!

Merry Morning Melodies

Previously on Creative.Dunning I let slip that there may be some drum solos coming our way and we weren't let down! DJ LuvSik has been hard at work to let everyone know what his musical prowess is all about!

Here he is with an in depth look into his track Made it Out Alive via the drums!


If your itching for more please check out his Youtube Channel for an amazing Bass guitar cover of Didn't Ya Know by Erykah Bahu & as always please continue to show him some Internet love (me too if you please!)
