Elton John Is Playing, Shit! Is my iPod Out Of Power?
I find in my life, in my limited but expansive experience, that there is much sadness.
Not just from people I know but from people I see on the subway. There’s just so much sadness around.
It’s like oxygen, it permeates the pores and colours the skin.
Why are we so sad?
I am.
I acknowledge that and embrace [...]
An Homage (Or Is That Fromage?)
A man of depth.
A man born of generosity.
Unwavering humanity.
Spirit of kindness and a gentleness.
OK, I can’t do it.
“Clean up in aisle 2, clean up in aisle 2.”
The other night I went to this man’s1 birthday party and had a blast.
Again, I felt it necessary to kill a part of my liver in [...]
Shaking Fists In The Air
Hatred is an amazing thing.
It really is because it lets you be angry.
It lets you be the hurricane that destroys lives.
Don’t we all want to be someone who hurts others because we, too, suffer?
Come on, don’t you want to dance in the “wallow”?
Live in the subterfuge of anger?
It lets you touch [...]
Wall-E
I’m an animation whore, slightly disgusting when you think about it.
Though I have to confess I always find Dreamworks slightly disappointing. They tend towards the fart jokes with big celebs.
Now, Pixar? SIGN ME UP.
So you could imagine the extra twinge in my nether regions when I saw this trailer!
Yes he kind of looks [...]

It’s Grade Seven All Over Again!
In reading all the plethora of information about “American Idol” and probably sucking in the fact that I’m going to be watching “Canadian Idol” when it comes on1 I’ve been wondering about my “taste”.
Have I lost that zeal for the avante guarde?
For the literature, film, television that was considered snobbishly different?
When I discovered “The [...]
And The Winner Is…NOT ME
So I decided to check my ten lottery tickets.
You see that’s what I do.
I save them up and check them all at once.
It’s a minor pleasure to piss off Convenience Store Clerks.
I see their eyes roll back in their head and depending on the nationality1 vomit out some kind of curse [...]
Blame George Lucas
It used to be that a trilogy was enough.
So here I am watching “Spider Man III” and I’m thinking yeah, totally there could be a fourth.
It’s not about the “three parter” anymore.
And it’s George Lucas’ bloody fault.
It used to be that a trilogy would wrap up epic story lines and you knew, just KNEW, [...]
Bravery: A Perfect Example
I’d never know until I was faced with it but it’s how I’d like to think that I’d think like this.
Am I an Eyeore or a Tigger?
My perception of myself is Tigger but I know there are those that think I’m an Eyeore.
Watch, you’ll figure out what I’m talking about. It’s 9 minutes long. [...]
