Can We Just Stop For A Second?
|
|
I've been feeling a little overwhelmed lately. Sometimes I just feel like I would like the world to stop so I can get off and have a breather. I've been working a lot with not much time off and I'm getting burnt out. Plus, soon I have to start applying for my student loan in...

At the casino
|
|
It seems that more and more my blog entries are sort of journal entries relating trivia about my life. I used to try to write about more substantial things. Previously I wrote essays on various topics that interested me (politics, law, etc.) but lately I've just been recording...

Sore Feet and Miscellaneous Musings
|
It's the long weekend here where I live. This Monday will be Victoria Day which is supposed to celebrate the birthday of Queen Victoria, a famous British monarch. I think (if I remember correctly) it is also supposed to be the day on which we celebrate the current monarch's birth,...

Sunburns and MP3 Players
|
Things are going pretty good right now. I got the job at the casino I applied for and the government has now approved my licence so I now have the green light to start working as security there. Also, I'm still working as a security guard for another company. The only problem is...

Hold fast
|
To all those who are suffering:
Hold fast!
There is hope yet.
The night is dark but the sun shall rise,
The winter is long but spring shall come,
The injustice is grave but wrongs shall be righted,
The tears are bitter but your eyes shall smile again.

The Grass Is Greener
|
I wonder why it is that so many people always want what they cannot have? The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, or so the saying goes. But why? Is it human nature? Some instinctual remnant from our prehistoric past, a drive to always be on the lookout...

Heroes
|
Have you ever wanted to be a hero? I have. I've wanted to do something grand and lasting that helps other people. Something that others could point to and say "Wow, he made a difference". I"m kind of ashamed to admit it because it is so narcissistic. I mean, a true...

Going To University
|
|
Normally I like to write essays on various topics rather than diary entries on my blog but I can't think of anything particularly fascinating in the realm of philosophy or politics to wax on about at this moment. Plus, I do have some developments in my life that are preoccupying my...

Back to Reality
|
So, I am back from my road trip. Well, I got back on the weekend but haven't been on line much until today. It wasn't a bad little trip. Drove through the interior of BC. Lots of beautiful scenery; lakes, some semi-desert regions with cactus and sagebrush, vinyards, ranches and...

Her Smile
|
Her pretty smile,
The flash of teeth,
The curve of lips;
Let me pause a while,
Until this heartache does cease,
When I can brush her smile with fingertips.

Leadership
|
What is it that makes a good manager, a good president, prime minister or a good leader of any sort? Here are some qualities I think that a good leader should possess:
1. Intelligence: A good leader must be smart enough to understand what needs to be done and come up with a...

The Responsibility to Protect
|
I was doing a little bit of reading the other day. Specifically I was reading up on the doctrine known as the "Responsibility to Protect" or R2P. This is a philosophy that has been developing over the last century or so, although its latest incarnation and name - R2P - can be traced...

Homer Simpson
|
|
I like Homer Simpson. His quotes have got to be some of the funniest around. To me he epitomizes the silliness and ignorance of humanity. Sometimes his stupidity is innocent in nature, sometimes not so much but either way he always cracks me up. I know I've listed some...

Blood
|
The world is old,
It has seen much violence,
It has drunk up the blood of thousands of men, women and children,
And it has not yet had its fill;
Men create empires,
They build palaces and parliaments,
They spill blood,
And the earth drinks...

Online Bullying
|
I wanted to write a blog about the feud that is currently going on between TheAmandaChronicles and his enemies, gsh2096 and Moomanda. First of all I want it clear that I'm not friends with any of these people so my comments are that of an outside observer.
Personally I find...

Who owns the North Pole?

I wanted to write a little bit about the issue of Arctic sovereignty or, to put it another way, the question of who owns the North Pole. There are currently a number of nations who lay claim to large portions of the Arctic but these claims are contested and it is not clear under...

Batman

I've found that you can use the name "Batman" in almost any conversation as a reply to any question.
Hi there. What's your name?
Batman!
Who did that?
Batman!
What do you want to have for dinner?
Batman!

Various Assorted Jerks
|
I've worked 8+ years in jobs that involve extensive contact with the general public. In that time I've had to deal with a lot of insults and rowdy behaviour from people who were not too happy with me. I thought I'd share some of the incidents:

Depression
|
When you're depressed it feels like you've been deflated. Someone has stuck a needle deep into you, drawn out your life's blood, then pressed deeper and gone right down to the bone and pulled out the marrow too. You feel a little wobbly, you can't quite stand on your own two feet so...
