Why I Am Better Than You – Men Who Spread Their Legs in Public Places
Look, I realize you are a big, strong man and you are seven feet tall and you need the leg room and you just gotta let your junk breathe and so you’re spreading your legs, but guess what? I’m on/in the bus/waiting room/movie theatre too. I also have legs that require some space. The difference […]

Stereotypes
Stereotypes are funny things. They are often offensive, sometimes humourous but mostly dangerous in that they fill us with preconceived notions that can be harmful to our interactions with others. But obviously stereotypes come from somewhere. They are not usually invented out of thin air. Most often they are exaggerations of small truths. And sometimes […]

So You Think You Can Dance
Alex Wong needs to move into my house and dance for me on command. He can sleep on the new couch and can do chores in the daytime when I’m at work. When I get home he can greet me at the door by doing the splits and then the hip-hop routine he rocked last […]

Ahh, the things I do to prove a point… to no one but myself
I’m in the home stretch now. Fourth week on the slow carb diet. Yesterday was hell. I was in extreme abdominal pain all afternoon and I felt like so many shades of shit by supper time that I didn’t even want to hear the word chilly, which I’d previously decided would be my dinner. All […]

It’s finally over
So I finally finished the 4 weeks on the slow-carb diet, just like I promised myself I would. I cheated a couple of times, but nothing major. In the end, even though I mostly hated everything about this experiment, I’m still glad I went through it because it’s always a good idea to test oneself. […]
