I have a vast imagination. I admire others who do, as well. I have always been one of those people who are often lost in thought, staring out the window, or off into some distant space, when I should be doing something (supposedly) important and/or constructive. I have always been a daydreamer. I still am. My […]

I want to talk about choice. About how the choices we make are ours, and how those choices affect us, as individuals. Not how they (may, or may not) affect others. But how they affect us. Each of us. Separately. The other night, in a conversation, I stated how I was feeling rather overwhelmed, how I’d […]

I find myself in an odd quandary. It started off innocently at first, the attraction. The fact that, sure, it was there, initially. The attraction. And I acted on it. Sure, it was strong, and I’m a reactive person, and then she shut me down. Hard. It kind of shocked me. How she stated flatly […]

I’ve been thinking a lot about belonging. About how we, as individuals, belong. To whatever. Whomever. However. It’s an important concept. Or so I’ve come to believe. We all long to belong, yes? It makes more sense if you actually think about it. The idea. Of belonging. If you don’t think about it, if you […]

It’s been awhile since I’ve blogged. Not for lack of ideas. I have countless ideas (okay, some of them are ridiculous, or intensely personal, or maybe, um, walking the fine side of overtly sexual), but I’ve also been doing other things, like working on my current novel, submitting my first novel to a new publisher […]

(This is an imported post from August 25, 2010, from my old blog at Myspace) We’d been together for a year and a half when she tried to kill herself for the third time. It was a rebound relationship, following the breakup of a four year relationship with my very first girlfriend. Meeting a woman in […]

I was reading The Globe and Mail the other day, and I came across an interesting piece. I generally read almost everything I can get my hands on, but I don’t always go out of my way to acquire something like The Globe and Mail. If it’s in front of me, though, I will read […]

I haven’t seen her or talked to her in weeks. Tonight I show up, and there she is, and the first thing she says, even before I manage to gather myself, is “Hey, how are you?”My stomach has plunged in a terribly unsettling, yet wholly pleasing way, my heart risen so fast it threatens to choke me. She seems […]

Yesterday I was out traversing the cityscape, a two hour walk which ended at the house of a very dear friend, where excellent coffee, company, and conversation was shared. Friendships should never be taken lightly. The amount of time spent cultivating some friendships results in someone who knows you so well you feel completely comfortable and safe […]

It’s a fierce day today. There’s an aggressiveness to everything about it. At 8 a.m. the temperature was minus 32 Celcius. By noon it had warmed up to minus 27. There’s a saving grace: there’s hardly any wind at all. Had there been, I wouldn’t have gone for my walk. As it was, I kept that […]
