Winterlude is an annual event where Canadians get together to celebrate Winter. I know a lot of people would rather huddle up inside and hide under the covers just waiting for it to be over. “Who celebrates winter?” they say. That being said, I’ve always heard good things about Winterlude so this year I made…

I must admit that I’ve never been a fan of sunglasses. I normally wear a hat when I go outside and thought that was enough. The brim of the hat stops the sun from getting in my eyes. The optometrist suggested that I start wearing sunglasses to protect my eyes from some of the harmful…

I think Good Weird Feeling is the best album ever released. It is by a group called The Odds. This album is absolutely amazing. It is one of only a few albums in my collection that I never seemed to get bored of. I can listen to it no matter what my mood. When it…

I need to register a complaint… It’s about all of the people on the roads who do not know how to use the turning signals correctly. This is especially annoying when there is only one lane in each direction. I’ve had to slam on my breaks more than a few times because someone in front…

I like that my family played board games together. We played Uno, cribbage, snakes and ladders, chess, checkers, and Candyland. But by far, my favouite game of all time is Scrabble. I’ve played it since I was young. My grandma really liked playing the game and I’m sure she humoured me back then because my…

I had a crazy idea today. I would like to have an exchange program at my school. I know, it doesn’t sound crazy because exchange programs have been around for a long time. However, they’ve never been done like this (to my knowledge anyway.) I would like to have a regular day of school where…

I’m often reminded that I’m not a kid anymore. It’s a sad realization for me. I like the carefree attitude. I want to be able to run, play, jump, and abound with the youthful energy that I still feel running through me (most days anyway) However, I’m starting to realize that just because I used…

Names don’t mean anything. Sure, there may be some history behind a certain name and you might find out what your name “means” but for the most part, your parents didn’t pick your name based on its meaning. They picked it based on its sound, how it fit with your last name and the others…

I don’t know why but I really didn’t think I’d still be alive at this point. Perhaps I thought I’d be a famous artist of some sort whose life had been tragically cut short. I had some dark thoughts as a teenager (but who doesn’t?) I thought I knew everything back then. I’m sure glad…

Well, another year draws to a close tonight. I wish each and everyone one of you the best in the new decade. Have a safe and happy New Year’s Eve tonight. Lots of love, Chase
