Pornography isn’t supposed to be intellectually stimulating, it’s supposed to arouse your sexual organs and get your mind on the topic of sexual intercourse. It generally exploits the sexual act, but sometimes there is a story to help the viewer get into a theme and turn them on. But what if you throw politics into…
If I were ever to write a personal ad for music, it might look something like this. Man seeking a band, must have a sense of humour, honesty, authenticity, and ferocity.

Today’s post, dear readers is all about keeping track of your scrapbook in a digital age, or as I like to call it… Everything you wanted to know about Pinterest, but didn’t know you wanted to know, in a thousand words or less.

So how many of you remember when I wrote that post a couple of months back about one of my personal goals for the year? Nope, not the one about my movie watching goals (The Watch List), and also not the one about my music reacquiring goals (The Back Catalogue). Want a hint? It has…
Have you ever read the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn? It’s more than 100 years old at this point. In case you haven’t read it, it’s a story that explores the subjects of race and identity. It has been studied over and over, because while it digs into the the existence of slavery, it also exists…
The Canadian Sweethearts were a Canadian rockabilly duo that were popular during the 1960s and played together almost 20 years.
