  • Why Blogs Suck

    Last week when I was at the university for the radio show, I picked up a copy of the student newspaper. I haven’t read it in quite some time. Truth is, I used to write for it way back when. I read almost through the entire publication. It’s still just as an interesting read as […]


  • You Talked Me Off The Ledge

    I almost quit blogging last week. It didn’t feel like there was much value in it anymore. It felt like I was just going through the motions. I actually wrote a post titled, “What’s the Point?” where I contemplated the entire process of this blog and its purpose. I didn’t publish it though. I did, […]


  • Still Trying to Find My Rhythm

    School is back in full swing but I’m still trying to find my rhythm. I feel better when I know exactly what I’m doing and the best way to work things. But I’m still adjusting to my new school, their established rules and routines, and a having a split class. I’m trying to develop my […]


  • Welcome to My Talk Show

    I have begun to think of blogging like talk radio. I love talk radio. It is great to tune into to a show daily and hear the host speak about a variety of topics. My favourite talk shows don’t carve out a niche. They explore a vast array of topics. And this is important. I […]

But so far, I haven’t deleted one comment because of this criteria. In fact, the only comments that I didn’t approve were spam. And that has […]


  • Work It In

    It’s funny how my original Silent Cacophony book that I wrote in a coil notebook got put away for years but would not die. It stayed with me, even when I thought it was completely lost. And when I thought of starting a blog I knew that it had to have the same title. But […]


  • The First Silent Cacophony

    I was doing some major cleaning and decluttering on the weekend and I came across something that I thought was lost – the original Silent Cacophony book. I couldn’t believe I actually found it. I screamed out loud and jumped around at the discovery of this small coil notebook. It meant a lot to me […]


  • Feeling Mediocre

    I can’t help it sometimes. I look at how well other people do things and compare myself to them. I don’t know why I do this, but I do. The only outcome of it is that I end up feeling mediocre. I don’t feel that I do anything great. I don’t seem to excel at […]
