“Waiting in Vain” – Bob Marley
Here’s a clip of the band we went to see last Friday night. The name of the song isn’t given and I feel like my 17 year old self listening to “Smells Like Teen Spirit” trying to make out the lyrics so you only get the most basic of lyric excerpts as the title of […]
There’s a certain level of irony that I spent part of my Good Friday watching a band from just behind a guy who was wearing a “Who Needs God When You’ve Got Satan” t-shirt. 😉 But I should probably back up a bit… Shea and I spent Friday doing a bunch of spring cleaning […]
Hard to believe it’s been a year since a very important milestone in my life. Yes, it’s exactly one year ago today that I got my Most Liked post ever on Facebook!

Thanks to community radio for bringing this song to my awareness a couple days ago. Useless trivia: the song doesn’t mention “Murphy” in the long list of Irish names it features even though “Murphy” is the most common surname in Ireland. Happy St. Paddy’s everyone! “It’s A Great Day For The Irish” – Judy Garland
Hard to believe but yesterday marks one year since the most recent NDP Leadership convention where Ryan Meili lost to the eventual winner, Cam Broten, by just 44 votes (less than 1% of all votes cast). As a cathartic process after the loss, I’d compiled a list of “44 Reasons We Lost” in my personal […]
