All Things End

The past couple of weeks have been interesting as several pop-culture phenomenon have concluded all at the same time. We have seen the end of stories about a fantasy world, political satire, superheroes, and some nerds who eat together, that have captured the collective hearts and imaginations of millions of people around the world in… […]

Weird words we use everyday

To tell you the truth I think all words are weird. Language in general is a very peculiar thing. It is just grunts and sounds arranged in a particular pattern or sequence that we have all collectively agreed has some sort of meaning. English in particular is complex and hard to learn as in it’s… […]

MET Gala 2019

I know this is a little late but I had to do a post about this year’s MET Gala. Every year the beautiful and the rich get together in an extravagant display of excess and wealth for…some reason. They choose a theme, people prepare, they make a scene, and stop for lots and lots of […]

Some Stuff

As you know, I stopped posting for over a year and started again just recently. But during that time it wasn’t that I was not writing, I just didn’t complete anything that I wrote. Currently I have 18 draft posts just sitting there waiting to be re-examined and maybe posted. Well this is one of […]

Bad Trek

The last post I wrote for this blog before I went on a ridiculously long break was about Star Trek Discovery. The show had just started, airing the first 2 episodes which created and destroyed the world I thought this story was to take place in. I had enjoyed the episodes but because I hadn’t… […]

Product placement

I still have friends that complain about product placement in movies. It used to be something that got to me as well but many years ago I kinda just got over it. Why? Because it properly reflects a realistic version of the world we live in. Look down at your clothes, look at your desk, […]

Until

Music is a strange thing. It is a series of strung together sounds that are pleasing to the listener. Unless of course you are an old crotchety man waving his stick at the damned youth of today. But music has a way of instilling emotions, making you move fast, or slowing you down for just… […]

Get untethered

I don’t like horror movies. As a young child I was afflicted with night terrors and that combined with an over active imagination did not bode well for an evening’s slumber. As I grew older the terrors waned but my dislike for horror persisted. But every once in a while a horror movie catches my… […]

If you liked the Manga…

Every once in a while I have the audacity to let someone else pick the movie I am going to watch. That is just crazy! But the other day my friend begged me to go see Alita: Battle Angel. Despite my reservations and due to him offering to pay, I said yes. This was a movie I… […]

Stop Living in the Past

Nostalgianoun a sentimental longing or wistful affection for the past, typically for a period or place with happy personal association something done or presented in order to evoke feelings of nostalgia I get why nostalgia sells. For the most part it just makes people feel good. It is a familiarity taking you back to a […]

Curiosity killed Christmas too!

Human curiosity leads to asking questions and finding answers. This can be a great thing. It moves the human race forward, new technologies are created, diseases are cured, and we treat each other just a little better. It can be a wonderful thing…but can also lead to our own detriment. We like to ruin things […]

Maniacal Laugh Maniacal laugh

Last weekend wasn’t a very good weekend. A few things went wrong, I hadn’t slept, and on top of that I was verbally accosted by a crazy person who very loudly said I was a monkey and should go back in the trees (that may seem tame but when you know he had just called… […]

Lunching Perimeter

When you first start a job and have to go out for lunch it can be a very daunting task. You’re alone, don’t know the area, what kind of food is available, or the quality. But you get out there and tentatively try 1, 2, possibly 3 places. After some good experiences you get brave… […]

Well Hello There

I don’t know where to start this exactly cuz I have been keeping myself quite busy the last little while hence the lack of posting. Actually that means I should be posting more because I would have more things to write about, right? I partook in the annual art-fest known as Nuit Blanche on… …more

No TV No Internet …

Something, something, something. So I started working on this post 2 weeks ago and I just never finished it. It was a combination of no internet at home and being busy at work. I can’t really complain cuz I haven’t been bored but at the same time this is falling to the waist side… …more

Pray Tell

I’m not a religious person. That doesn’t mean I’m a bad person or that I’m anti-religion, it just means that religion is not a huge part of my life. I think this is a result of going to Catholic schools my whole life and the experiences I have had that may have disillusioned me. I… […]

Pun not intended

For some reason this popped up in my head this morning The first time I saw this add I was in a packed movie theatre and when that girl licked that ichor of that guys face there was a collective “eww” (or something along those lines) from the audience. I never had a “Bloody Zit” […]

Click Click

So I am here at work and it is a bit of a slow day so far. I know just thinking that means that I am so going to get slammed later but whatevs it gives me time to post and I am not going to complain about that. I really don’t have that much… […]

Some times things change

This once a month thing really has to stop. I mean to write more, I really do. I keep starting posts that I never complete or time just flies by. But this time I have a sort of explaination for the lack of writing. I moved!! No more ‘Sauga (Mississauga for the non-locals), I am… […]

The Goonies Squad T. Field gets wrestled, blown up, and yelled at

I know the title of this post is a post in itself but that is what happens when you start writing an entry 3 weeks ago and just keep adding to it. It started off as ‘The Goonies Squad T Field’ then added ‘Gets Wrestled and blown up’ then I took out the ‘and’ replaced… […]
