  • Canadians Need Not Apply

    I enjoy watching Wheel of Fortune. I like winding down every night in front of the television, solving puzzles. It gives me a chance to relax after work, although there is one thing that I find frustrating about the experience. During every show, there is a point where the viewer can win a nice trip…


  • I’ve Joined the Digital Age

    I have finally joined the digital age. Yes, I broke down and bought an MP3 player. I did a lot of research before buying one and I think I have found the perfect player. I didn’t buy an Ipod. They are extremely limiting. I needed something that could work on more than one computer. I…


  • Music Space Issues – Solved

    Last summer, I thought that it was so great that I managed to save some space and organize my entire CD collection (see entry). This Christmas break, I found myself organizing this same collection yet again. It took a lot of time and effort but I managed to convert my entire collection of rap CDs…


  • Only Know When It Don’t Flow

    Water is something that we all take for granted. We don’t have to think about it at all. If we need it, we head to any tap, turn it on, and the water flows. We don’t know how lucky we have it until one day, we turn the tap and nothing happens. This happened to…


  • Announcing Thoughtful Cacophony

    Commonplace Book Tuesdays has now been spun off into its own blog. I have wanted to do this for some time now. The best thing about it is that I will be able to effectively share my extensive collection of quotations. I will organize the entries by theme, topic, author, and any other label I…


  • Rap Battles

    The battle in hip-hop is an art form all to itself. In a freestyle battle, two rappers compete against each other in order to deliver the best rhymes. The object of the battle is to deliver funny and witty rhymes that tear down your opponent. Some emcees will write rhymes and practice them just for…


  • Published For Myself

    I published a hard copy of my blog entries for the year 2007. It was a great year for me. I discovered blogging in March and have had such a great time here. I managed to post 200 entries and thought that it would be a great idea to collect all of these in a…


  • Silent Cacophony is Third in Line

    Silent Cacophony was born a long, long time ago. It was originally a title of a book I tried to write when I was a teenager. This book was going to be the ultimate guide to life; boy was I naïve. It was full of personal observations, stories, anecdotes, commentary, etc. It was quite effectively…


  • Best Christmas Gift

    One of the best television shows ever has finally come to DVD. My So-Called Life is a classic show in all aspects of the word. It was released earlier this year and I had to fight with myself not to run right to the store and pick it up. I put it on my Christmas…


  • Happy New Year

    I hope everyone has a Happy New Year. I have really enjoyed my Christmas break. I look forward to seeing you here in 2008. I will resume my regular posting schedule next week. All The Best in 2008!
