Please Don’t End Me

Today, I was Googling myself to see what others were writing about me and one of the first things I read was the following tweet. (2025 Update, Tweet was removed) When I first read it I was a little afraid that my country had enough of me and were all out to get me. Then…

Hamlet: The Notes

Last night I went to see this show from Saint John Theatre Company’s Canadian Series at the BMO Theatre. It was honestly an hour and half of almost non-stop laughs with well fitting serious moments. I really enjoyed how this is not the typical show that you go to see, but interactive with the audience…

Though it was very lacking in facts of how a 3P could be beneficial to the community to make an informed discussion. My point of the argument is this….

A Warm Fire

The inspiration of this post comes from this block of wood. Since it is so cold outside today i decided to light my wood stove. However this block would not fit in the door. I tried to split it with an hatchet. No Luck. Then I tried with a bigger axe. No Luck. I spent…

Google Translate Songs

I found this video on YouTube today it is a parody of “Call Me Maybe” with bad but not terrible lyrics. Then from there, I found a Fresh Prince version that went through all 64 Google Translate options, and back to English. I then thought about what would it look like if Farewell to Nova Scotia lyrics…
