June always reminds me of my grandpa. This is because when I was very little we would always get together as a big family and celebrate Father’s Day with all of my aunts, uncles, and cousins on my dads side of the tree. Speaking of trees, whenever I think of my grandpa I think of…
Zoos are controversial, apparently. Some people think that we shouldn’t cage animals, like at all. Because of a few different reasons of course. And they just might be right. Captivity can make animals unstable. Zoochosis is a condition where some animals pace back and forth, others injure themselves, and the rest seem to move their heads…
This post is filler. I didn’t know what to write about on Thursday, so I decided to do some research and learn about a Canadian national holiday – Victoria Day. It’s a statutory holiday for us Canucks, but not too many of us know what it’s about. So here is a list of twelve things…
Keeping it brief today friends, it’s May the fourth after all. I’d rather let things go down the way they’re supposed to. And yes, that is a cheesy graphic, but I honestly could not find much better for the joke in the way of license free content. So deal with it. And if you’re…
Today I decided to write a post about birthdays, and because we’re closing in on the end of my birthday month, its more than appropriate. You know what Lesley Gore used to say right?

My life in particular. Because I was born in the spring and Easter is a movable holiday, sometimes it falls before my birthday,…
April is one of my favourite months of the year, for a few reasons. It’s the month I was born, which every other year is the same time as the Easter holidays, and it reminds me of my family. You see, dear readers, when I was growing up, every Easter, my family of six…
Have you ever wanted to visit ancient Egypt? The jungles of the Amazon, maybe? How about the Netherlands or even just heading south of the border to explore more Americana? Well I can tell you that I sure have. As a primarily visual artist, I’m inspired by the world around me. The challenge of course…
I fell in love with the girl at the rock show. With the girl at the rock show. I’ll never forget tonight. With the girl at the rock show. I’ll never forget tonight. With the girl at rock show. I’ll never forget, tonight. Remember that song? It came out way back in 2001. The year…
