Spring is in the air, winter is on it’s way out the door, and timotheories has a freshly picked purview of posts to share with you! Are you excited yet friends? Because I’m not even going to give you preamble this month… we’re going to dig right in and pull up some fun. These topics…
Life is an inexplicably complex thing, which we are constantly striving to simplify for ourselves. Unfortunately this is neither realistic nor healthy for us. We have to confront our problems head on, for fear of losing ourselves to a sea of sorrows. Manchester By The Sea (2016) Cast: Casey Affleck, Michelle Williams, Kyle Chandler,…
I watched a really good movie last night, dear readers. The movie was called Don’t Think Twice, and it featured a cast of prominent comedians in roles as members of an improv troupe. I’d been meaning to watch it for some time now, but after HMV Canada announced their bankruptcy at the end of January…
Last year the two words whitewashing and oscars seemed to be synonymous with each other. I wrote a rather exhaustive post about it, point of fact.

You may or not be familiar with a band called The Veronicas. I wasn’t initially, not until I stumbled across a Virgin Records store in New York City back in 2006. I intentionally hit up the store hoping to find some local New Yorkers on the rise, thinking I could beat the fame train…
There isn’t much glory in going after the familiar – it is only in taking risks that we are capable of experiencing the true rewards of life. When we become liberated from our expectations, that is a very unique way to become capable and fearless. When we experience love, we can see easily how hate can exist,…
