Lesson One: Don’t be a dick.
Before I start my usual writing, I am going to make a social commentary about the idiocy of the younger generation. Watching the news, I find myself laughing hysterically at the shenanigans that the youth of today have gotten themselves into. The newest fad to find its way into the school yard is the act…
Seeking refuge in the fear.
Spending my saturday evening laying in bed listening to The Pretty Reckless, I cannot help but reminisce about the events of the last few days. For the past few hours I have been toying around with the idea of fear, and how it disables us from moving forward in our lives. Everyone has their own…
Americanos and pitiful loathing.
Showing up a day early for my doctors appointment, I decide to go to the neighbouring Starbucks to sit and write. After escaping suburbia and taking a subway into the city, I am now sitting amongst the hustle and bustle of this fast paced environment. With a venti Americano, I am out the door ready…
Work, bars, more work & then wine.

Consulting the stars.
Are people brought into our lives for a reason, or is everything purely a fluke? When you are walking down the street, you bump into a person that you haven’t seen in a while. Coincidence, or fate? Texting that same person only to seconds later run into them. Coincidence, or fate? Whatever your belief on…
C’est la vie.
Waking up this morning fearful of the day ahead, I attempted to dress more socially conservative for my appointment. Removing the septum ring out of my nose, and pulling a light grey fisherman jumper over my head, I headed out to my first appointment with the therapist who would be performing an analysis on my…

Relationships are difficult enough to do, but when you add distance into the equation, a whole new web of problems seem to arise. Long distance relationships are an intriguing idea that I have been toying back and forth with for the past little while. With Hamlet on my mind, I am wondering if a lost…
