Do you feel like you’ve been pushing off your next vacation for way too long? Are you not investing as much as you’d like because you’re focused on paying off debt? This is a struggle that many people face, and one which I have decided to tackle.
There are certain goals that I would like to [...]

Traveling Europe is definitely on my ToDo list. It would be great to travel the continent freely and flexibly. Since both of my parents were born in the UK, I decided to research the possibility of my becoming a UK citizen. Although I’ve found out that I can become a citizen, the process isn’t as [...]

Warning: Rant Ahead
I’m fed up with these stupid “Out of a Job Yet? Keep Buying Foreign” bumper stickers. Mostly because the people touting them are just angry, misguided individuals who love to point fingers at everyone else but themselves (they’re also usually the ones cutting you off in their big SUVs at rush hour because [...]

With the Holidays around the corner and the economy tripping over itself, we are being encouraged to spend, spend, spend in order to get things back to normal. Our economy depends on conspicuous consumption. I came across this video today and thought now is an appropriate time to post it.
Watching it reminded my of a [...]

It is done; I have crossed the bridge. I had my LASIK procedure done on Friday and I now have a altered set of eyes.
So far everything seems to be going according to plan. At my 24-hour checkup I could see 20/20 and my eyes looked good. All is not perfect of course. I do [...]

As our country (Canada) faces a possible overthrow of the minority government by a coalition of parties, I thought this would be a great time to post a couple of quotes I read today:
“A democracy is nothing more than mob rule, where fifty-
one percent of the people may take away the rights of the
other forty-nine.”
-Thomas [...]

A mad rush of impatient shoppers forced their way through a New York Wal-Mart’s doors to take advantage of Black Friday savings, trampling and killing an employee in the process. Can you believe this? How low have we sunk when our desire for “things” is this great? On the other hand, economists are rejoicing as [...]

Since booking my appointment for LASIK surgery, reading about the procedure and its possible complications/outcomes has become a minor obsession. I can’t stop learning and reading about it! These are my eyes afterall–the most important sense I have–and the last thing I want to do is do something to them without fully understanding the consequences.
Browsing [...]

I don’t have much time for this post, but I wanted to post something from my trip to the Bahamas. I just got back from a Blackbeard’s scuba cruise–a week of living on a sail boat, diving and cruising around the Bahamas. In short, it was amazing–an experience of a lifetime. We were lucky enough [...]

After 8 years of wearing glasses and/or contacts, I am finally getting LASIK surgery done on my eyes! Ever since I started to wear glasses, LASIK has been on my mind. However, up to this point, I was not a candidate for the surgery because my prescription kept getting worse as I got older. To [...]

From American living rooms to the ballot box, hate is still large in the U.S. of A. I’m not saying Canada and other developed nations don’t have problems with hate, but this video is pretty telling of the strong divides that still exist in the U.S.. It’s sad that some people are so ignorant.
