  • America…

    My heart hurts; my country is descending into madness with this idea that it’s our “right” to own guns. Another shooting, and yet again, we will do nothing to rectify the issue. Owning guns and having access to guns doesn’t make you safer; it makes you more unsafe. And yet, my countrymen will continue to…

  • Navigating a Doha Nightmare: The Trial of Getting Home

    My journey home from Doha was a trial, quite literally. It turns out the paperwork that was supposed to have been done back in January, regarding the settlement I had to agree to or be stuck in Doha for two years fighting fraudulent charges on my credit card from 2006, was not completed. I opted…

  • Angry Jude

    I’m not in the middle of something, but I feel that I need to be… Let’s say there are two people who love each other but have a tendency to keep an emotional scorecard. What does this mean? It means I’m getting to deal with these two people in a remote sort of way. I’ve…

  • Ground Zero

    I’ve been following the news and current events lately, and I’ve been surprised by the controversy surrounding a group’s plan to build a mosque near Ground Zero in NYC. People, particularly tea baggers and Fox News, seem to be vehemently opposed to this peaceful exercise of first amendment rights. Let’s revisit the First Amendment, which…

  • The Roommate, Final Round

    As of the 10th of April, I’ve given my current roommate till the 10th of May to move out.  It’s been a little while coming, and after a conversation with my landlord, I decided it was time for her to move on.  It boils down to the damage to the apartment.  The landlord was nice…

  • Quoted words from the late George Carlin

    The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense; more knowledge, but…

  • Idiots and Flat Mates

    I got this really excellent text from my flat mate this morning… “Did you eat all the tomatoes?” In which I responded “Yes”, her response, which in all fairness makes me really pissed is “Ok, I don’t mind if you use ingredients but please ask/replace them as they were four the soup I was making.”…

  • Politics – A wrap

    In what was a record vote in the US, I was absent.  I’m not far from the results given the level of coverage around the world last night and continuing today.  It was a funny thing last night; I was sitting at a Korean BBQ place in Vancouver with my new flatmate and her two…

  • Politics or how I became a non-caring part of the population

    I was at my local pub last night trying to avoid any and all talks of politics.  It went well for the first few hours, but for some reason a bar full of drunk fools decided to watch the repeat of the presidential debate last night.  Something I’ve learned is you never mix bars with…

  • Politics or Religion? Should we care?

    I’ve never been accused of being overtly political or overtly religious, but I just saw an article on CNN.com that made me laugh out loud. The headline reads “Evangelist accuses Obama of ‘distorting’ Bible“, I assumed it mean some sort of Christian whack job that usually stands up when they should sit down and shut…
