Yesterday morning I encountered a rather interesting postcard of showing rue Escuermoise in Lille, France. The scanned resolution is fairly high, so it was fairly easy to note many details in the picture, including many of the shops such as the Taverne du XXième Siècle, Olympia Antiquites, and le Librairie L. Quarre du something. [...]

There is a small part of the Holocaust I have been dwelling on since either April 30 or May of 2007, depending on which Event you wish to judge things by, as well as how you wish to define “dwell”. Either way, when not working on the thesis, my mind has been stuck in [...]

(in no way do i mean to trivialize the dead this evening.)
Two weeks ago, The CBC radio news reported on events taking place in Jerusalem to mark Yom HaShoah, the Day of Remembrance for Holocaust victims. Amidst the drone of silence cut by the drone of air raid sirens, I found myself once again [...]

As I was channel surfing between periods or goals scored during game 7 of the Montreal-Boston playoff series on Monday I came across The Hour with your boyfriend, George Stroumboulopoulos. Amoung other things, Strombo was talking to the audience about the significance of that particular day in Canadian and in hockey history. It [...]

Cathedral City is not Lotus Land. Lotus Land is some times Los Angeles, sometimes Vancouver, and much of the time a metaphor stripped away from Greek mythology and [...]

Contemplating some considerations about creating shadowy, maligned images of ourselves in the non-physical world of the internet, and its ramifications, I began to realize that the development of false representative identities on a large scale is not without precedent. This does not alleviate the anxiety of existence, though.
Stereotypes show the inaccuracies of representation We [...]

I’m off the coffee for a bit, and am loving the tea.
Hurricane Mitch was laid waste to the office.
I am the most intelligent (read: arrogant) man you’ll ever meet.
Damn I looked good on my wedding day.
I’m excelling in my classes – pure rock’n’roll.
Everything’s coming up roses (more on that some other time).
We’re getting cable [...]

Long summer days give the appearance that there is more time in the day. What we do with that time perhaps marks us as a person. My summer days are filled with a back to basics routine. Reading old books, re-learning declensions or analyzing introductions and criticisms. It sounds high and mighty. Perhaps it is. [...]

I should post this before I forget to. Or before it becomes pointless.
I can see the container terminals in the harbour from my bedroom window. The bathroom window affords a better look, but I reserve those moments for the time that I choose to look to to sea.
Watching the action at the container terminals [...]

I’m wearing a t-shirt that my sister, Helen, made for me. It was part birthday gift, part christmas present, but mostly a “thinking of you and your [pop music] schooling” gift. Its a basic black t-shirt, with the phrase “how I feel on the inside” painted on the front. Fifteen gold stars [...]
