Plans Can Fail
A few months back, I found myself unemployed, by choice, stupidly. I quit a job I disliked, worked for three days in a different line of work, hated it and quit. I left that job knowing three things: 1) There are tens of thousands of employment opportunities out there. 2) I had an ample tax…

A Blog About Blogging
Hi. I wanted to take this opportunity to blog on blogging. Yes, I actually just said that. I’m relatively new to it. Didn’t read a book on it, nor did I attend a night school class on the subject. I did a little minor research after I had completed my first three or so however,…

Destination Known
About fourteen hundred and some odd moon’s ago, I made the move to come back to my home town of Fort Saskatchewan. I felt led back, and most of the reasoning was because I was deeply in love with a girl, let the truth be known. It will be four years to the day that…

Don’t Quit Your Day Job
Who loves their work? This is a question I often wonder, and I often ask people. Usually they say, “Meh, it’s ok.” Once in a while, you get the refreshing response, “Yes, I Iove my job!” And here and there, their answer is a blunt, “I hate it”. According to Gallup, a polling organization out…

True Fathers
To the sperm donors, this is not for you. Or the absentee fathers. Or the, “Who really is my father?!” fathers. I’m talking about the real dads, the genuine men. Do you know your father? Do you know who he is, who he was and who he wants to be? Being a single dad pretty…

Inspiration Via Hollywood
This is a fun topic for me to write on. Who doesn’t love the movies?! Some “escapes” are not healthy, like crystal meth or serial killing. But the ninety to a hundred and twenty minute escape of a motion picture is very appealing, dare I say to us all. I have put together nine movies…

Twenty – Four Hours to Live. GO!
What if you knew you would be dead in twenty-four hours? Who would you tell? What ends would you attempt to tie up? How would your funeral look like, and who would show up? Sure, it’s all pretty morbid. Yet, oddly a curious thing to consider, if only for a few moments. I used to…

Hindsight Isn’t Always 20/20
Remember those “Choose your own adventure” books? For those that don’t, they were stories that gave you options and let’s the reader create their own ending. You’d start on page one and on say page six, you’d have a choice: if you wanted your character to advance through the icy mountain then skip ahead to…

Life Detox in Full Swing
It’s the end of my world and I know it, to quote a classic lyric. I got what I asked for and it’s all good. Haven’t touched liquor in well over a week. Sleepin’ like a baby. I’ve done dishes once over the past eight days. Minus work lunches, I have prepared two meals over…

Father of the Year Award
It’s funny when we see, whether on television or especially in real life, a ridiculously uncool father who goes out of his way to “be hip”, and whom actually calls himself a cool dad, believing that he is up on the jargin of today and could assimilate just fine with his children’s friends, as though…

A Disciplined Mind vs. An Open Mind
This post is one I wanted to do a while back, but stopped myself due to its possible controversial material, and I ended up blogging on my frustration with not expressing my thoughts. I am glad I postponed though because the whole idea has taken a new spin and other thoughts have risen to the…
