  • Save My Favourite Show

    CBS has decided not to renew Jericho. It’s a shame because it is the best thing I have seen on television in years. I know that it is extremely difficult to change the network’s mind once it has made a decision. I know this. But I also know that this is a show worth fighting […]


  • Rude Awakening

    My dad once told me that locks only keep honest people out. If someone really wants to break in, a lock will not stop them. I know this from experience. Last night was the most recent experience. I was sleeping over at someone else’s house. They had asked me to house sit while they were […]


  • (White) Rapper Show

    I don’t normally like the reality show genre. Ego Trip’s The (White) Rapper Show is just the latest in a long line of these shows. The difference about this one is that it is a show that represents hip hop culture in a respectful way. I like the way the word white is in parenthesis. […]


  • Beauty is Everywhere

    Beauty is everywhere. It’s hard to see sometimes though because we get so caught up in the daily grind. We seem to be so busy and moving so quickly here and there, doing this and that, that we miss so much. I remember the first time I saw American Beauty. I was taken by a […]


  • Runnning with Tag-Alongs

    There is something about running that is very hard to explain. I absolutely love it. It gives you something that you can’t get any other way. It is a totally freeing activity. I can’t understand why more people don’t run. Don’t they know how good it feels? I run what is called middle distances. I […]


  • Happy Mother’s Day

    It’s Mother’s Day and I can’t get home to see my mom. I will call her in the morning but it doesn’t feel like enough. So I thought I’d write a tribute to my mom in my blog. Mom, Being a mother has to be a difficult joband one that probably doesn’t come with enough […]


  • Internet Community Violates Privacy

    There is a movement spreading through the World Wide Web. It is coming to us from sites such as myspace and facebook. There are hundreds of websites that bring together large groups of people who collectively form a community. I must confess that I don’t really understand this community movement online. Facebook is one site […]


  • Jericho

    Jericho is a television show that premiered last fall on CBS. From the very first episode I have been hooked on it. It has amazing writing. I don’t know how the writers seem to keep escalating the drama and suspense every week. I am on the edge of my seat week after week and just […]


  • ‘Tis the Season

    I am in the process of writing a novel. The working title is 4 Wheels and a Piece of Maple. I thought I was nearly done it when I had an idea on how to format it last night. I looked back at the 150 pages I had written and came to an epiphany. It […]


  • You Can’t Do Anything You Want

    We always tell our youth that they can do anything, that they can become anything they want to. Is this the right message to give them? It is a lie. We can’t do anything we want. I know from experience. I have failed at a lot of things that I have wanted to do. It […]
