I find the nakedness of blogging really preventative sometimes. Many people who know me have started reading my blog somewhat regularly and it's left me with a bad taste in the mouth. I like that people read my work, but I also find myself wanting to write about these people. Perhaps, I've made this blog … Continue reading The Takeover

Second City: Silly and Serious
Second City Toronto is a wonderful place. I've an affinity beyond just the typical comedy fan for a very good reason: my time as a member of the comedy cohort there. Well it was just a camp for a week, but I did tell some jokes on a tiny side stage that got some laughs. … Continue reading Second City: Silly and Serious
Summer and School: Nothing in Particular
So, another summer has passed. I have come to appreciate seasons more and more as I get older. I'm not saying I am old but rather I have more freedom and so there's something unstoppably refreshing about change. Change means action, it means getting a grip on yourself. It's very easy, especially while still living … Continue reading Summer and School: Nothing in Particular
Hungarian Dancing in Budapest
Usually, I am not proud of things I have no personal claim over. This blog and my other writings make me fiercely joyful, I am completely self-made in this field and have not had help from anyone but good editors really. So, I was not expecting to care about being Hungarian when I came to … Continue reading Hungarian Dancing in Budapest
Perspective in Melk Abbey
The other day I visited the Melk Abbey in Austria. It was about an hour train ride to the town from Vienna, the Abbey itself was visible above the entire town like some shining Sun with it's brilliant yellow exterior. Stift Melk, as it's known in German, was reconstructed in Baroque effervescence in the mid-18th … Continue reading Perspective in Melk Abbey
Czeching You Out
I've been traveling in the Czech Republic since last Sunday. It was a busy weekend, my cousin was getting married at Dyment's, a beautiful farm in Dundas, and I got a little too drunk at the open bar so I forgot to pack til the morning. That being said, I don't think I missed anything … Continue reading Czeching You Out
I’m A Traveling Man
I only stayed in Toronto for two nights and half a day before picking up anchor again. Usually I don't do this sort of thing as I tell myself I love being in the city but there's been something very charming about detaching that part of my identity. I've always said that I am city … Continue reading I’m A Traveling Man
Muskoka Mornings
I think one of the first reasons I knew I wanted to write was that I've always enjoyed my alone time. This may seem like an odd thing to boast of but every time I hear some professional writer say the best quality to have if you wish to follow in their footsteps is to … Continue reading Muskoka Mornings
When In Rome…
But enough about boring communications theory and let's get back to Rome.
A Look in the Mirror
I like Queen for many reasons. One of those being when Freddie Mercury sings about looking in the mirror and crying when he's searching for someone to love. Mirrors are everywhere and they provide a vital service to humans: perspective. When you are at a bar and you realize how stupid you are for coming … Continue reading A Look in the Mirror
