Have you ever sat and thought about all the things you have done in your life, and then thought about the things that you haven't done all because of the path you have chosen in life? It isn't necessarily a bad thing to have missed out on certain things, poor choices being avoided are also a result of your decisions, weather consciously or not. I've got to say that I am immensely happy with the path that I have chosen, sure I wish I would have done a few things different, but all in all, grateful and satisfied. Even though I am not in a band, nor do I play an instrument , Read more

I don't know about most people, but I tend to go through phases when it comes to music. I'm not saying that once I find something new I abandon everything else, but rather more of a rotation is what takes place. Sometimes I'll spend a month listening to nothing but 1930's dance bands like Jack Hylton and Ray Noble, and then the next month just to listening to nothing but Husker Du and The Replacements. There is never any sort of plan to my sonic desires, but just something inside, like a craving that my body needs at that moment in time. Read more

The other morning I woke up and I had an itch. No…not THAT kind of itch, a desire, a longing that made me feel that if I did not satisfy it then would be unhappy. What I'm speaking of is my love of travel.  We all have something that makes us happy, something that you look forward to throughout the  year that gets you through the day. Some people pine for camping, some skateboarding. Some people are able to fulfill this desire more often than other people because of time, money or availability. My love of travel presents a bit of a problem for me, since its often times expensive to travel and also time consuming. Read more

The other day I was having a chat with my sister about a problem she was having in school with some girls. It wasn't anything too serious or out of the ordinary, but when she began to explain it to me I noticed immediately that she was becoming a little flustered. I told her to stop, take a deep breath and think about the situation in a different way. I explained to her that I believe situations can be resolved much easier when thought about logically by gathering all the facts and then making a calculated decision based upon the best possible outcome.

January 2011 Editorial

Christmas time is known by many as "the season for giving", but what comes after that? Does that make the  time after Christmas "The Season of Selfishness"? If it isn't, then maybe it should be. Throughout our entire lives, and especially during our childhood years we are told that selfishness is a negative personality trait and that we should always share. But what if I told you that I was a self admitted selfish person? Does that make me a bad person, or even less kind than someone who gives his own lunch to a homeless man? Read more

December 2010 Editorial

Here we are in the last month of the year, where did the year go?

Monthly editorials are “supposed” to be a well thought out crafted prospective, but what if you don’t have that one single prospective and all you have is all kinds of random stuff, then what? Perhaps this is the prospective of a typical December. Rather that try to fake some sort of cleaver seasonal message, this will be a collection of staff thoughts as we all try to make sense of this time of the year. Read more
