Enough of this self-pitying bullshit.
Life may kick you in the balls once in a while, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t kiss them better too ;). I have a voice in the world, for whatever it’s worth; I take the time to sit down at a computer and write what’s in my head/heart, and [...]

Or maybe I’m just too lazy to write out a ton of e-mails explaining what’s been happening lately.
Yes I’m miserably depressed… who isn’t (if you’re not, trust me, keep your eyes closed and your fingers crossed, and try to hold on)? No, I’m not going to whine about it for pages and pages of [...]

As in offline.
I need a short break. Anything I write here now is going to be coloured by some very heavy stuff I’m going through right now. As I’ve said before, I don’t want this site to become a narcissistic exercise in self-analysis (ie: whining about my personal problems). Maybe a better [...]

A wise man once said “that’s why pencils have erasers”. A more up to date version might involve a delete button.
If you caught my little depressed rant I put up last night I apologize if I worried you at all. I want this website to be about having fun and ignoring the real [...]

I love this stuff.
I would love to fly the “Corporate America” flag over my screening of the latest Michael Moore flick for a few hundred of my closest friends while handing out free copies of Adbusters and wearing blackSpot sneakers.
HOWEVER…
Do I, as a citizen of one country, have the right, obligation, or even [...]

Finally got my new power adapter in the mail today (go eBay!), so I’ll soon be able to return to a slightly more regular updates. At the moment I’m in Montreal, hoping I can get a job without being able to speak French… most people are telling me it’s not very likely, but it [...]

…doesn’t mean that I still don’t get to indluge my epicurious thirst. Sometimes the simple things are the best.
Tequila. Ice. Lime.
Good Tequila. REAL Tequila. MEXICAN Tequila. In this case Blanco (white). Over ice. With a squeeze of lime. Life’s too short to waste taste and time [...]

Leonard Cohen rocks. Talk about transcendent music, this guy takes you to another place. It’s amazing how revitalized you can feel after a hot bath and a cold martini… ok, would you settle for a good dump and a glass of OJ? Yeah, I ain’t always the debonair denzien of the digital [...]

Mike’s back, hail to the king baby. I’ve run into “technical difficulties” with my trusty little iBook (broke power adapter), so until eBay comes through with a replacement I’ll be writing from whatever computer I can beg, borrow, or steal ‘net access from. Makes it a tad more difficult to put together coherent [...]
