That Was Then, This is Then
Lately my dreams have mostly been revolving about my past. Sitting in the backyard of my childhood, as an adult, with family.
Conversations with my mother about mundane things like, “Have you called your sister?”
“I will, Mom, I promise.”
Banal banter until I realize that she’s, in fact, dead; and we shouldn’t be having this conversation in [...]
A Life Worth Living
Has it really been since December 13, 2009 since I’ve contributed to this child? I feel like a neglectful parent. You know, the kind that Children’s Aid has to come in because I’ve gone out clubbing1 and left them alone with a bag of Oreo’s in the play pen.
Writing hasn’t been coming easy to me. [...]
Waiting For My Rocket To Come
I was chatting, as I am wont to do, on another chat home.
It was a nice chat and that person on the other end of the internet spectrum suggested that I should continue to write on my blog. That’s it’s been far too long. And while I can’t disagree with them there’s far too many [...]
I’ve Said It Before
There have been blogs, scattered about the hemisphere of Internet users, in regards to the abuse of Politicians and their lack of tact with spending. I saw this on CTV news tonight…
Canada’s 308 MPs received about $127 million in expenses last year but there are no public details into exactly how that money was [...]
Honeymoon’s Over Folks!
We all knew it was coming, didn’t we? I mean the love affair had to end sooner or later, I just didn’t think it would be this soon.
Already, Republicans are calling the new King a socialist.
Ummm, well, are they surprised? And why is “Socialist” a four letter word?
MSNBC titled an article “Obama’s new strategy: [...]
In One Take: The Way Frank Did It
The photo album is open and it’s pointing out history.
Or is it my flaws?
One and of the same. One and of the same; people.
(Amanda Marshall: “Marry Me”)
“I wanna laugh until I cry
Wake up with you each day till the day I die…”
Music takes me back, it really does. To ALL my failings. I think, [...]
Proposition Hate
I’ve been pretty silent up until now about what went on in California partly because I’ve been shaking my head and wondering just what the hell happened.
Didn’t bigoted lines get crossed just a day before? Didn’t progressive thinking finally trump backward thought?
I guess not.
Part of my absence in the pool of confessionals was, [...]
Oh To Have Voted. The Right Choice. The ONLY Choice.
Listen, I can tell you that you will not meet a more PROUD Canadian.
A man who, even when he lived there, was never about the Red, White and Blue but was about the simple Maple Leaf.
About the equality that we achieved WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY before the big brother U.S.
The one thing about being Canadian is about being [...]
Darth Scoundrel
When does anger subside?
When is it replaced with empathy or even a basic understanding of what your “enemy” is going through?
“I did this but you did this so then I did this but it was because…” That sort of thing.
In his mind I was the root of the problem and in mine he was all [...]
"SHOW ME THE BEAST!"
So Madge and Guy are calling it quits, are they?
He says she became a stickly tight assed pain1 and was shoving that red string in every which direction.
One imagines her running around their mansion, interpretive “ab” building, moaning Kabbalah this and Kabbalah that.
On her part he was typically British and callous in his affection. [...]
