A wise man named Roger H. Lincoln once said that There are two rules for success… 1. Never reveal everything you know I’ve happily been following this line of thought for the past year, slowly but surely revealing my ideas and goals for this blog. Most of which have been met with positive reception so far….
I WAS going to post about something fun today dear readers. But that’s not in the books anymore. Nope. Only sadness. I learned something really sad and now I am really sad myself, and so I’ve decided to write about this timely event instead. Mere hours ago I found out that my favourite bar in all of…
Do you ever run into issues with concentration? Me too dear readers, me too. I get it. You want to make art, and you’ve finally decided to start keeping a schedule, but there are a million noises messing with your head. Or maybe absolute silence is your problem, you need a little bit of ambient…
I have to admit that I am very fortunate. I’m fortunate to live in an area of the country that doesn’t experience a lot of natural disasters. Avalanches, earthquakes, floods and tsunamis, heatwaves, hurricanes and tornadoes, volcanoes, and epidemics are events that don’t really happen in Edmonton. The worst thing we are at risk of…

As he sits down, he gives pause for about 10 seconds before his posture lifts up, he grabs the microphone, and jumps into a riffed delivery of a powerful line… It’s…
Where does motivation come from? I often wonder this myself, and I’ve met with different perspectives on the matter throughout my life so far. I fully expect to encounter more examples and perspectives as I go along, but for the purpose of making a point, I’ve outlined some examples below. Some believe it is something…
Hot off the heels of another incredible movie franchise review (AKA Avengers: Age of Ultron)… another blog post about a film in a legacy, but I promise you that it’ll be okay. You’ll probably even like this review. Almost 20 years ago today, because it was released in theatres on November 17th, so I’m off by…
The third week of album reviews in a row? Cool right? And I have a category for this type of blog instalment now! I think you’ll agree that it suits these posts. MELODIC MONDAYS. In what seems like a cleverly calculated month of reviewing vocal duos (EODM) (July Talk), I seem to have gone straight into my next one. When is the…
