Music Monday – “There’s the progress we have found (when the rain)/A way to talk around the problem (when the children reign)/Building towered foresight (keep your conscience in the dark)/Isn’t anything at all (melt the statues in the park)/Buy the sky and sell the sky and bleed the sky and tell the sky”

This song is usually interpreted as being about acid rain but on the day Saskatchewan (and three other provinces) has a federal carbon tax enacted, I thought it was appropriate… “Fall On Me” – R.E.M.

Throwback Thursday – #tbt – How Did I Get Here? – #6 – Comedy

After another week away from this series (honestly, I forgot I was doing this “How I Became Me” series last week after working a 1-9pm shift and, as I often do, whipping off a zero-effort post to keep my daily post streak alive instead of doing something a bit more in-depth and time-consuming.) Anyhow, […]

Music Monday – “My heart’s like an open book/For the whole world to read/Sometimes nothing keeps me together/At the seams”

Shea and I watched “The Dirt“, the new Netflix Motley Crue biopic this weekend. Lots of songs that were a soundtrack to my high school years for sure including this one… “Home Sweet Home” – Motley Crue

Music Monday – “So needless to say/I’m odds and ends/I’ll be stumbling away/Slowly learning that life is OK/Say after me/It’s no better to be safe than sorry

I don’t normally add a lot of my own thoughts to Music Monday posts but wow, hearing this song that I loved as a kid (yes, the innovative video was a big part of that!) slowed down and done acoustically really makes it heartbreaking and adds a feeling of nostalgia (in multiple ways) that the […]

The Homophobic Version of “Laurel” or “Yanny”?

There was lots of controversy on Twitter (but when isn’t there?) a couple days ago when Leafs defenseman, Morgan Rielly, was accused of yelling a homophobic slur on the ice. There were conflicting opinions with some people thinking the on-ice mics caught him yelling “Fucking faggot” (which wouldn’t be the first time this has happened […]

Music Monday – “Another summer wasted in the Battlefords/On a banana seat bike with a hockey card in the spokes”

Music Monday – “Away from these memories, my life I must spend/Adios amigo, adios my friend”

Back from a one week all-inclusive holiday (even from blogging if you can believe it!) but lots to start catching up on – a review of our resort for sure (last year, it took me three weeks to cobble together a review of our resort – I wonder if I’ll be quicker this year?) Also […]
