Hey y'all, Sorry I've been so quiet lately, I just finished my term and started a new job at the LCBO. It's the only place to buy booze that's not wine or beer in Ontario, the province I live in. It's quite interesting, today I saw a woman steal a bottle of Hennessy and almost … Continue reading Top 10 List

Rap
I've always loved rap music and I don't really know why. It doesn't speak to my experiences - especially before Drake made Toronto famous. But it has always resonated with me all the same. For some reason, I didn't make much of my musical taste until I started reading about aesthetics. You can't read aesthetics … Continue reading Rap
A bit about life
One of the things I struggle with the most in life is trust. It's hard to be trusting of much when you are unsure of how you fit into it all, of how you are meant to engage with certain things. Usually, you are taught at a young age what your place is, and I … Continue reading A bit about life
Winter Weather
I wonder if Canadians are ever able to live without the awful weather we have? What I mean by this is: are the 'free' and 'friendly' side of Canadians due to something other than the weather? Would we be the best country in the world if our weather weren't so shitty? Something I've noticed in … Continue reading Winter Weather
Baby, I’m Back
I got into Kingston last night and it was hard to say goodbye. This has been a really good winter break and I think my family and I were really happy together. Being back is nice, though. I do love Queen's and there's a lot to keep me busy. For one, I'll be starting back … Continue reading Baby, I’m Back
Winter Brrrzz
As I sit in my home sipping a coffee, reading The Big Sleep, I wonder what people won't endure for the sake of life and liberty. Outside my home it is -21°C. Thankfully, weather is about the worst thing in my life. But, there is something especially malevolent about air being so cold it burns … Continue reading Winter Brrrzz
Bandages can only do so much
It is hard not to think about politics at the moment. It seems like everyone is focused on the left and the right. It's almost impossible to have a discussion about any controversial topic without those to words (ideas?) coming up. Personally, my views are liberal and I wear that badge with pride. But, I … Continue reading Bandages can only do so much
Go get a coffee instead
For the first time in a while, I'm free of responsibility. I've been both in school and working at The Journal, the Queen's student paper, since the beginning of September. The paper is fast-paced and has been keeping my mind busy for a few months. I'm not complaining, this semester has been the most rewarding … Continue reading Go get a coffee instead
Sidenote: drinking water
Water is the greatest drink on Earth. I love how elemental it is. Just three elements is all it takes to create one of the most important aspects to life. Think about it, for a second. You can never be comfortable without a guaranteed source of water. There's just no way to do that, and … Continue reading Sidenote: drinking water
Watch out
When I went to Europe this summer I wore a watch the whole time. Until that trip, I had not really ever worn one except for pictures, I also wore one to a wedding once or twice. I like to think that my choice was merely pragmatism to avoid pickpockets but I think it was … Continue reading Watch out
