Happy? Stopping in the Small of it All

What do we really need for contentment? At what point do our goals cloud “life” itself? How much work is too much work? How much of something is too much anything? How little is too little? There’s no universal answer. The less one can live with, though, the more likely one’s chances of finding contentment. [...]

The Creativity Conundrum

“Either it’ll move me or it’ll move right through me.” - Gordon Downie Lately, life dictates that I consider my creative avenues and where my priorities lie, like anyone who choses a creative life to pursue.

A Sly Smile Kinda Morning

The sky is an iridescent grey, at once inspiring and eerie. My day is stretched before me with a loose idea of all the things I have to do, mostly of the meetings-and-appointments sort. A murky mess sits at the bottom of a mug I wish was filled with fresh black coffee. I just shrug at [...]

Soon The Olympics Leave

It’s Day 12 of the Winter Olympics here in Vancouver. Four will remain. The insanity is everywhere. Here, look at this shot from last Saturday night. Something like 20 blocks of the city looked like that. Needless to say, such a long, wild ride comes with Olympic highs… and Olympic lows. Here’s a look at [...]

Tired, Wired, At the End of It All

I’m frustrated as hell today. I know I’m PMSing. I’m getting pissed off at obligations, frustrated at my lack of time, angry at the day ahead of me, and I have nothing I can do to really change or improve any of it, other than the plans on tap. It’s chemicals, man. I’d apologize, but I don’t [...]
