There will be no fancy celebration for New Years this year; Rita and I are heading to Algonquin Park to snowshoe the interior instead. This is something I’ve been wanting to do and, this year, things have come together to make it so. We’ve got most of the gear we need (will be renting the [...]

For a long time I’ve been trying to sort out what I think about religion. Is religion good/bad, if I were to say I followed one, which would it be, etc, etc. I look at religion and see many positives and many negatives. I wrote a post a little while back about The Golden Compass, [...]

And, by complete coincidence, this is also my 300th post. It has been a great year, and I’m very happy that I decided to create [...]

What just flashed through your mind–terrorists, nuclear bombs, illegal immigrants? Since this is what the mainstream media pushes as the threats to the American people, I don’t blame you if it was–really.

You can read more about them in the previous post, but basically they are a company that offers to help you offset your book purchases by planting trees in developing countries. You simply buy what I like to [...]

Ahhhhhh*
That’s my sigh of relief. Today, I handed in my final essay for this term (well, technically yesterday–it’s 2:40am), which means I only have one more assignment to do. The assignment won’t be that bad, so all the most difficult work is over with. It’s time to start planning what to do over my break–can [...]
