I’ve never truly experienced homesickness. In all of the vacations I’ve taken, roadtrips I’ve been on, and visits with friends and family, I’ve only ever been away for a couple weeks at most. That true sense of longing has never set in. And so it’s difficult for me to understand what it feels like to…
Believe it or not, a large part of becoming a better artist is incorporating skills into other areas of your life, one that make those areas more efficient, allowing you to focus your creative energy on making work, and the marketing of said work. That means that health matters! It is essential to build good habits to…
In a time when loving love can be just as polarizing as hating love, it’s refreshing to see people who recognize that disparity which so often happens between star-crossed cultures, and push through it all the same – while laughing. What the heck does that have to do with art or the going ons of your life,…
You want to be successful at your art, dear readers? And to be successful, the first step is recognizing what is required of you. For instance, do you have the right attitude (or have you developed a strategy if it’s out of your control)? Because you need to stop making excuses and take advantage of free resources available…

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,…
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…
What is that expression? It is better to have loved and lost, than to have never loved at all? I think that’s an apt point when considering this week’s film review. Can you imagine experiencing intense feelings of love, pain, and anger all while under constant threat of death? Not only for you, but for…
Dear readers, I’ve been thinking about the power of love a lot this past week! If you’ve ever been witness to the wonder that is the Back To The Future trilogy at any point in your life, you’ll know the song I’m thinking of and the incredibly strong association it has with the original Back To…
