Have any of you experienced serendipity recently? Or ever for that matter? No, I’m not writing about the John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale lukewarm romcom of the early 2000’s, I’m referring to the phenomenon where you get lucky and find something of value when you weren’t looking for it and more importantly, weren’t expecting it. I mentioned…
Everyone has at least one long-standing friend. I count myself lucky to have many friends that I’ve known for a decade or longer, but having a life long friend is something special. While he and I have never really shared the exact same set of hobbies, and our political and spiritual views haven’t been known…
Okay folks, let’s talk turkey. It’s Wednesday and that means I need to share some wisdom with you. Wisdom about self-improvement. Big topic, I know, and one which I can probably spend a countless number of posts on in the future. *Hint* I’m going to *hint* Oh come on now, you know I can’t keep…
What do you know about mind control dear readers? Daresay I say it, but I hope the answer is nothing. Not because your minds have been wiped, but because it’s a really weird and controversial topic and I’d rather stay away from conspiracy theories if I can help it. But they are theories… So maybe…
Driving on the highway can do a lot to clear your head I’ve found. Especially when you are all alone. And sometimes that silence forces your mind to work through ideas that you’ve been ignoring for weeks. I’m sure you’ve heard metaphors about the highway before dear readers, and the common associations of a highway…
I’ve been thinking about what I should write for today pretty much all of my waking hours this past week. Sometimes I chew on a theory for months (anticipating the date to share it with you), other times the theory appears in a flash of light. And sometimes theories just work themselves out naturally in the…
There are some events which can’t really be described properly with words alone. But you know them when you see them. And when you ‘experience’ them. I cannot believe it’s been this long since this phenomenon known as Ghost first graced our lives back in 1990. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1idoLQYjMI If you haven’t seen this movie before, you…
What the heck is a deviant? And why does it send a chill down your spine when Grandma calls that guy with a mustache across the street feeding the pigeons one? I’ve often wondered this myself dear readers, and I’ve read definitions of the term of course, to properly understand what the word means, but…
The Cold War was an incredibly stressful time in the world following the fallout from WWII. And yet, there have been films set in that time period which make it seem like a time of intrigue, excitement and heat. Top Gun, X-Men: First Class, and Watchmen come to mind for me in particular. Today’s Theatrical…
I bought the third studio album by English singer/songwriter Adele at 30 years old. This post is titled as such because it is a reflection of the time of my life and frame of mind I was in when I wrote this post. The post contains content which features some of my humour and musings,…
