Okay. Bit of a rant, here. It’ll probably offend some people. That’s not my intention, however. This post is just a bunch of stuff that I’ve been thinking about. And hey, that’s what a blog’s for, right?
So here we go.
Seven Reasons I’ll Never Be A MegaBlogger. Apparently.
In no particular order…
1. I don’t [...]
For those outside of Canada, the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police, or GRC: Gendarmerie Royale Canadien for those who prefer their French name) is Canada’s national police force.
This morning at just about 10 minutes to 9, I had a visitor from the RCMP. In fricking Ottawa, for crying out loud.

“She had eyes like shadows on glacier ice. Or maybe it was more like summer sky locked in a circle of thundercloud bruise-violet.”
I like that. I wrote that four years ago. I don’t know who I was talking about.
I’m at a loss for words right now, so here’s something I wrote on July 28, [...]
I’m exhausted.
I spent the day tinkering around with my car. Cleaning this and that. Trying to locate and rectify various “clicketyclickety” noises that seem to have appeared out of nowhere recently.
That involved jacking up the car and pulling off hubcaps and wheels. Poking, prodding, pulling, pushing, shaking, rattling and rolling.
What else did I [...]
I go through musical phases. Shifts in taste. Mildly obsessive.
A few months ago, I went through an ABBA phase. They were all I listened to while I was working. iTunes and my mp3 player burned out on Voulez-Vous and On and On and On.
There was the U2 phase. (649 plays since January 1, [...]
I had an entry planned for today, but then I came across this wonderful little video, called “Fallen”.
It reminds me that our time is brief and we can spend our time fearing the end, or we can take joy in the journey and revel in our time until the end.
I found this video [...]
Spent the day with music.
Listening, creating.
Not much else to tell, really.
My brain is tired, though. Making music works both sides of my brain. The logical, structured side, and the intuitive, creative side.
Anyway, I think I’m almost done the track I’ve been working on…although something tells me the mix still isn’t what it could [...]
Oh my god. I’m tired.
And out of shape.
Went to hang out with my son after supper this evening. And after 45 minutes of throwing around a football (and kicking it around, too, in a strange, improvised game of footsoccer/footballccer/soccball/soccfoot/whatever) I am, as they say, knackered.
I need to get back into shape.
However, I am working [...]
There’s something strange, er, afoot in the province of B.C., on Canada’s West coast.
From the CBC News website:
5th foot found on B.C.’s south coast
A human foot was discovered partially submerged in the water near Westham Island in Ladner, B.C., Delta police said Monday.
It’s the fifth human foot police have found in the province in less [...]
Okay. So I took 165 photos at the amusement park, yesterday. I’m posting a very small selection of them in this entry.
I went shooting with my cheap(ish) Sigma 70-300mm telephoto/macro lens, and chose not to bring my basic 55mm kit lens. This created opportunities and obstacles.
There were more opportunities, however, as the [...]
