Friends don't waste wine when there's words to...
It’s been roughly four months since I last took the time to share any thoughts - meaningful or otherwise. But today I spoke of this blog to a few people and thought that, hey, it might not hurt to get back in the saddle.
After all, with the majority of my diatribes on hold until the first semester picks up, I might as well utilize any means in which I’m presented to keep the writing...

Looking back now it makes me laugh
Ok, look below this post before you continue reading it.
That’s me. Well not really me but you get the idea.
I’ve decided to take all of my frustrations and insecurities out on this wonderful blank canvas that doubles as my blog - or more accurately the place I write something every once in a blue moon (sorry ‘bout that).
Today, however, I have never neeeded an outlet more in...

Say hello, wave goodbye
Day three in Saskatoon has greeted me with a tired anticiaption to start the day. Granted, it’s after lunch now, but none the less, sleep is in extreme deprivation, for the obvious reason and in addition to the chaos that has engulfed this conference.
We’ve spent nearly every waking free minute at Winston’s - a pub that mimics what I can only imagine would be the most serene...
The sidewalk holds diamonds like a jewlery store...
As I sat in the local watering hole today, I was (un)fortunate enough to end up beside a man who loved to talk.
There`s nothing wrong with casual conversation, but at some point people need to take the hint that the other party just might not be interested.
I was told stories about his life as a cop, of which he spent 35 years doing, how he just recently found out that his grandfather was...
Just My thoughts to keep me company
As I sit here listening to the randomized songs that my iTunes has produced I can’t help but wonder where I’ll be come May 1.
I know it’s a long ways away, but still, entertaining the thoughts of the next chapter of my life is both calming and hectic. While I greatly anticipate taking that next step there are a tremendous amount of uncertainties that accompany it.
Part of me,...
This behaviour so unexplainable
Well for those of you who actually enjoy reading what I have to write, I’m likely going to inundate you with a ridiculous amount of posts in the coming days/weeks/months.
Why? You ask - because I’ve got a new laptop.
Yes, this little pearl will rarely ever leave my side. Much like lint in a pocket there aren’t a lot of places it will go without me. I’m not entirely sure...

I was just thinking
I took Oakley for a walk tonight. For those of yo who don’t know, Oakley is my dog - a three-year old golden retriever, and, if I do say so myself, pretty much the greatest dog ever. But I digress.
I felt like I absolutely had to get out of the house for a while tonight. Despite my yearning for the three weeks of holidays that awaits me come Monday, I’ve already grown stir crazy -...
Haven't you ever loved anything that much?
A field of dreams.
Just reading the words almost forces the solicitation of the most imaginative and creative thoughts your mind could produce.
We’ve all had our very own version of this “field of dreams”. Mine, literally was just as it sounds - a field filled with all of my childhood dreams and aspirations.
When I was young - we’re talking 3 years old - I would fall...

Lie awake wondering if things could have been much...
I’m sore. I don’t know why I feel like telling you that other than I want your sympathy - in which I will greatly accept, so thanks.
I can’t quite turn my neck to the right side, and my left shoulder is in what I can best describe as unbearable pain. But hey, what can you do?
I can’t say that I have a whole lot to say tonight, but I figured I’d sit down and start...
Now We Just Sleep Walk and Drift Through the Week
Here I sit; typing away with my computer screen offering the serene glow that provides, in a roundabout way, a sense of calmness and clarity. How a simple computer monitor can allow this to occur I just don’t know. But none the less, here I sit.
My window is cracked ever so slightly. Just enough to let the coolness of the October night filter in, while keeping the pesky rain drops at bay....

I've read a lot of books, wrote a few songs,...
Well, it’s been a while since I last decided to take a few moments to jot down the various events that have consumed my everyday life. And whlie I wish I had some grandiose anecdote to share, I don’t. The run-of-the-mill, mundane existence that I have become accustomed to has remained a constant, but I’m realizing that it isn’t all that bad.
I’ve done a fair amount...
I hope the days come easy and the moments pass...
I can’t pinpoint an exact emotion right now. That frustrates me. As someone who prides themselves on being able to, at the drop of a pin, produce mass amounts of meaningful words on paper, I’m lost.
It reminds me of a scene from Californication, where Hank goes to the church and tells the nun he’s having a crisis of faith, which means he can’t write, which is a problem...
It was anything but hear the voice that says we're...
Whe does it always seem to go back to relationships?
I’ve always thought that I’d be able to get through life never worrying about being in or out of a relationship, and that while not in one, would not necessarily miss out on too much - besides the obvious.
I’ve never been the type whose needed to be in a relationship every waking second, which is a good thing as it turns out,...
I've Been Haunted by This Old Ghost Before
I felt pretty alive today.
Rick Mercer was at Brock University today to launch the Spread The Net Campaing, which aids in helping children in Africa fight malaria. He chose Brock to launch the campaign this year, which was pretty cool, as the university seldom draws this type of high-profile celebrity.
But regardless, I felt like I know I will when I reach the point in my career where it becomes...
Until all is lost to the beauty of the day
This is new for me; two post in consecutive days.
While I highly subscribe to the doubt my conscience has placed on the regularity of such a feat, it may just occur again, but unlikely for that day to be tomorrow. A tri-fecta at this point in my blogging career is just too lofty a goal.
I actually wrestled with the notion of posting something tonight. It’s Saturday. It’s 10:30 p.m....
Good Days, Bad Days, Pioneers of love
Well, it’s been a week, that’s for sure.
This week marked the first week in which freshman through seniors alike - and those on victory laps one through however many - flocked back to campus and revitalized the otherwise ghost town Brock University has been for the duration of the summer months. I’ll be the first to admit, that despite the annoyances that come along with no one...
And all the wasted night, and empty moments in our...
Again, my title should not direct you in any route other than the abstract. While I’m sure it can serve as a much larger purpose than a mere blog post title, I will let it remain as a single timeless string of imagery-laden text.
For whatever reason, music has dicated waves of emotions that have swept away my subconscience into a world of turmoil and unpredictability. I’m not entirely...

Butterflies and Airplanes
I will start with this: don’t read anything into the title of this post. It’s the title of a song by The Clarks, and it was on my computer. Therefore it acted as a suitable title, seeing as how my brain has decided to end its functioning for the day.
It’s Wednesday, at least for a few more hours, and it has been an arduous week already, which is somewhat discouraging considering...
Things I should Have Done Today
1. Sat down and wrote something, anything, while the rain decided whether or not it was going to pelt my window or just brush it with a light mist. Either way, I’m most creative/productive when it’s raining outside.
2. Laundry. I thought about it all day, but instead of taking the time to just suck it up and do it, I watched Flight of the Conchords instead. I should probably take...

I Miss Alberta
I had a strange day today.
And by today I mean Tuesday, which of course, is not really today, rather it was three days ago. However, that’s not the point. The point is that I’m writing this now, not Tuesday, and for the sake of my first ever blog post, today was a strange day for me.
I walked out of the house, about to head to work. Now, I had no idea that today would be monumentally...
