A Run Through Southcrest Ravine
Let’s explore Southecrest Ravine in London, Ontario for the latest edition of My Visual Running Tours. I really didn’t know what to expect when I started off on my run today. It certainly didn’t look like much on the trail map of the city I picked up last week. There are a few different entrance…

Music for Skaters (Clean Version)
I love skateboarding and I love mixtapes, so I decided to bring both things together and craft “Music for Skaters” I love the artistry of mixtapes. Choosing songs, blending them together, weaving a theme and mood throughout, and then sharing the mix. What could be better that that? How about having a finished product that…

Stop Reflecting Blame (Keep Your Dog on a Leash)
I must apologize for running this post now. My girlfriend and I broke up last week. This post had been sitting in my draft folder though, and it is a story that really should be told. My girlfriend and I like to go hiking. We seek out new trails to explore and head back to…
