I blame Alicia Keys for my unfounded belief that I can play the piano, whenever I see one. She started it with the song Fallin’. Let’s be honest, the lady makes it look incredibly easy to do because she uses emotions and well constructed hooks to sing about issues that we all experience. Falling in…
I have this theory that there are some TV shows which do a fantastic job of providing you with comedy, while also giving excellent insight into human behaviour and telling morality tales. Sort of like grownup versions of Grimms’ Fairy Tales. Okay before we move on, did you click on that picture yet? Please…
Have I mentioned how much I like Black Friday shopping to you guys and gals yet? I don’t think I have, but that’s what today’s post is all about. A way for you to prepare yourself in anticipation of one of the most wonderful days of the retail year. How timely of me, you say?…
Anybody around here ever play video games with friends? No! That pastime is still for dorks timotheories! And dorks don’t have friends! So go play your dorky game by yourself! Dork! Ouch. Well I hate to break it to you, mean text-based figment of my imagination, but video games represent a pretty substantial portion of the entertainment…
Who doesn’t love the 80’s? And especially the seemingly hilarious violence and over-the-top way that films addressed their genres at the time? I personally am glad to have grown up at a time when claymation and other practical effects were still the norm, because when you watched something, you had to rely on your imagination…

What a strange world we live in, my dear readers. Human beings have a wonderful capacity to either create or destroy, to build up or break down, to protect or attack, to love or hate. That statement I just made isn’t a new one, in fact, lots of us have heard it before through various channels. Probably one…
I’m a pretty big fan of supporting local events and groups, as I hope you would know by now. But did you know that are key individuals in our communities who actually spend their hard earned “free” time, sharing the catalogue of current local events for us Edmontonians on a regular basis and a lot of…
Do you ever struggle with life, dear readers? Feel aimless or that you have ambition but cannot focus? A sense of despair? I’ve been there too and can be challenged by life, almost unexpectedly it seems. Today’s post is a more serious one, so I’m giving you all some fair warning. I often wonder about the…
I feel compelled to tell the truth dear readers, especially after this weeks film. Seeing a “Certified Fresh” logo on the box art of the blu-ray may have been the clincher that won me over VS watching South Paw or Pixels. That, and I heard a number of bad things about the other two movies. But…
