| I need to be medicated… |
| 2010-02-19 10:50:17 |
Which of course is the natural response when you live in our “pill for everything” kind of society. But is that really the answer?
So here’s the deal. I’m tired in ways that no amount of sleep seems to cure. I constantly feel distracted and find it very hard to settle into one [...]...

| One that has sat in my draft box for a while…. |
| 2010-02-18 10:30:00 |
Time turns her head.
Will she shed any tears for
this rut of existence?
Enslaved by a history written by
the man with the sword,
the man with the cannon,
the man with the gun,
the man with the bomb.
The dance of circles
never ending cycles of despair.
Who will break the cycle?
the person with the vision,
the person with the courage,
the person with the [...]...

| The 2010 Vancouver Olympics |
| 2010-02-18 10:24:59 |
So I find myself on the fence in regards to the Olympics. Following Twitter and friends on Facebook, you’d think Canada had found the cure for cancer during the opening ceremonies. Sentiments such as, “I’ve never been prouder to be Canadian” were fairly common. Though I did get a laugh out of [...]...

| The Start Is Always the hardest place to begin |
| 2010-02-07 21:14:31 |
Ive been mulling over a new story these past couple of days. Like so many of my ideas in the past Im at that early love stage where Ive yet to become alienated. Im sitting in front of the computer staring at the screen. While Ive thought about the opening, I think Ive invested a [...]...

| Life’s Odd Coincidence… Or Plan? |
| 2010-01-31 10:16:15 |
Life changes, shifts, and moves in an unpredictable manner. Looking back on it, we see patterns and shapes that cause us pause to wonder, is there a plan?
A funny story. My mom is thinking about selling her house. Now that my dad has passed, she feels isolated in her retirement [...]...

| What I Came up with – Logo Design (Round 1) |
| 2010-01-12 22:27:58 |
So I sat down and started working on Carolyn’s business logo. She really likes the whole teal/orange colour combination, so I worked with that palette. I decided this time around to go with the monogram style logo. Here’s the variations I came up with.
So initially I figured I would do the classic monogram contained in [...]...

| I’m Thinking I Should Go Into Design |
| 2010-01-09 22:42:54 |
Not so much because I’m a superstar, it’s just it’s something I really enjoy. Graphic design is something I could spend hours looking at, studying, and then putting my own spin on things. Maybe when Carolyn’s done school I’ll see if I can pick up some part time courses.
Anyway, I’m in this frame [...]...

| Another Two Months Pass… |
| 2009-12-29 09:04:30 |
It’s been two months since I last posted here. Time really does fly when you’re having…. fun? Yes, I think time flies when you’re stressed, crashing from deadline to deadline, and generally feeling like life is spinning out of control. Fun has so very little to do with the flight of time.
Just [...]...

| Making a Million Dollars |
| 2009-08-05 08:02:37 |
So i was talking to a buddy at work about the fact that I hate living pay cheque to pay cheque. It’s not easy making what is considered just above low income and supporting four people on it. No matter how hard you work, no matter how much overtime you put in, it [...]...

| Feeling blue |
| 2009-08-04 23:12:14 |
Wow, I am in a funk; and not the “play that funky music white boy” kind of way.
I just wrote two pages of Song of the Seraphim. I have 30 pages now, approximately 8,500 words. What fills me with optimism is that I still have more scenes to write; this is [...]...
