About

I originally started this blog as a way to keep track of my progress through a list of things I wanted to do before my 21st birthday. Now, I am halfway to 23 and I managed to complete five of those things. Life threw a few curveballs at me, plans changed, and I am now in a very different place I imagined I would be in when I was 20.

I'm adding two new goals to my list, and renaming this the "23 Years, 23 Goals" project. I could be 50 beore my sock drawer is organized properly.

1. Organize socks and throw out ones that don’t match.
2. Plan day of activities with younger siblings (one day per sibling). **COMPLETE**
3. See a Shakespeare performance in Stratford
4. Get into shape.
5. See the Kitchener-Waterloo Symphony.
6. Take a yoga class.
7. Play piano at least 4x a week.
8. Find a pen pal who I can write real letters to.
An international pen pal is preferred, and hopefully one who speaks French (see Goal #16)
9. Go to (at least) one more Joel Plaskett concert. **COMPLETE**
10. Publish some of my writing/poetry in something other than the Brock Press
11. Go to the drive-in movie theatre.
12. Get an 80% average in one semester of university. **COMPLETE**
13. Get into a B.Ed. program somewhere in Ontario. **COMPLETE**
14. Do two more paintings to match the one I’ve already done.
15. Start saving money to buy a French Horn **COMPLETE**
16. Start learning French.
17. Finish MEI reading list.
18. Make portfolio of BP articles, photographs & poems
19. Go on a road trip. Anywhere, but not alone.
20. Stop swearing
21. Spend an entire week without computer, cell phone, tv, etc.
24. Apply for, and be accepted to, an occasional teaching list in Ontario.
25. Finish university forever.

Probably got the biggest laugh of my HONY career when I asked for this guy’s story, and he answered in a complete deadpan: “Just running for President.” He then handed me a description of his platform, which among other things, included “a free pony for every American.”

so long as there shall exist a social condemnation, which, in the face of civilization, complicates a destiny that is divine with human fatality; so long as the three problems of the age—the degradation of man by poverty, the ruin of women by starvation, and the dwarfing of childhood by night—are not solved; so long as social asphyxia shall be possible; so long as ignorance and misery remain on earth, books like this cannot be useless.

Make your own Bible. Select and collect all the words and sentences that in all your readings have been to you like the blast of a trumpet.

No Canadian team in the NHL Conference finals: CHECK

No Canadian team in the NHL Finals you say? 

LAs roster is 58% Canadian, Phoenixs roster is 66% Canadian, New Yorks roster is 38% Canadian and New Jerseys roster is 32% Canadian.

None of those teams has more Americans, Swedes, Czechs, etc. than Canadians - Canadians are a majority on each roster.  Maybe an American owned team will win the Stanley Cup, but it will spend a majority of the summer in Canada with the Canadian players who win it.

I’ve always thought it as something that was still holding the country back. What people do in their own homes is their business and you can choose to love whoever you love. That’s their business. It’s no different than discriminating against blacks. It’s discrimination plain and simple…I think it’s the right thing to do, so whether it costs him votes or not - again, it’s not about votes. It’s about people. It’s the right thing to do as a human being.
