It’s funny how people need different things at times…

Snowboarding round 2
Not sure about this holiday… It’s feeling a little forced this year, as in I’m forcing myself to be happy, even though I’m not really feeling it. Oh well, I’ll make nice and go through the motions for everyone else, but it might be difficult. On the plus side I went snowboarding for the second…

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 – Why?
So I’m normally a person who votes their mind not a party. This year I was looking over my ballot and I discovered I was voting along a specific party line and not necessarily my mind. I had to take a step back and do some research on why I was voting along a specific…
Got any book recommendations?
