Anything, but Ordinary

It's Not The Length Of Life, But The Depth Of It. This quote was on my friend’s nexopia page in high school. Unfortunately, my friend passed away in 2006 at the age of 16 and this quote has stuck with me since then. It really does say a lot. It doesn’t mean how long you live, but how much meaning a life has. Life is meant to be lived. Give it depth and experience what it gives you.

Do you remember where you were on September 11, 2001? I woke up that morning like any other day. I had just begun grade 8, my first year of high school just a few days before. I got dressed and went downstairs. Like every morning, I turned on the TV and sat on the couch. I wasn’t paying attention to what was going on at the time. I was busy getting ready for school. I remember seeing one or maybe even both towers in flames, but I didn’t really give it a whole lot of thought.

For years I always debated about going to Walt Disney World for various reasons. The flight to get there from where I am is 6+ hours direct or I can take numerous flights making the travelling day over 14 hours. Who really has time for that. Then there’s the thing about wanting to mess with the original. I like to call Walt Disney World the sequel. Everyone knows that sequels are crap. Nothing compares to the original. It's how Disney started, but I wanted to at least check o

I was always going back and forth on online dating. I felt like people would judge me on my picture before they got the chance to know me. I didn’t want them to go off how I looked. I was self conscious. I tried an online dating site back when I was in my early 20s and because I was self conscious, I didn’t post pictures because I wanted to see if a guy would message me without knowing what I looked like. A couple of them did, but it never went past the initial “Hi, how are

The Shining has always been my favourite Stephen King book and the movie starring Jack Nicholson has always been one of my favourite movies, but the ending has always been a mystery. Everybody has a different theory about why Jack Torrance appears in the picture from 1921 when clearly he died in the hedge maze. I don’t think there is a right or wrong answer, but there is an indication in the movie that tells us that he’s been at the hotel for almost 60 years, maybe even longe

A few years ago, I had a fan site named Depp Deluise which was dedicated to Johnny Depp, Peter Deluise and the awesome show that was 21 Jump Street. I had it for quite a while and it was something that I was proud of. After a couple years, it ran its course. The website became quiet and people lost interest. I decided that it was time to end it and break up with Depp Deluise and delete the site. During my time running the website. I had become facebook friends with Peter Delu

With everything that’s going on in the world right now is scary. We are living a new normal. There are people who think that this is not as serious as we say it is. No matter how many people are affected by it, it doesn’t seem to make people understand how bad it really is. I was talking to a friend of mine about it and I mentioned to her that if you had a cold or a flu, you would call in sick, stay home and not interact with the public. Why not do that with the corona virus?

With everything that’s been going on in the world; it would be nice to see some good. We can only do so much, but as a community and as the world, we can change one thing at a time and hope that has a domino effect. We can protest, lead marches and sit in at rallies, but what does that really show? We can only say so much with the same 3 or 4 tactics over and over again. When will someone take action and learn that what we want is to see change, but as the past has shown us,

We have dreams and goals we want to accomplish in life. We want to be successful, healthy and make sure we have enough money in the bank for retirement, but do we really think about what we really want? Can you see yourself doing whatever you're doing now when you're 40, 50 or 65? I think that’s what most people are afraid of. I think people stay in a job because it's an income that pays the bills, but deep down they know that’s not what they want to do. I always thought I co

People write for various reasons. Some will write in a journal because they want to keep their thoughts to themselves. Other people blog because they want to be able to share their experiences and be there for other people who may be going through the same things as they are. No matter how or where you write, it's a good habit to get into. Writing is a way for people who have a hard time being able to say things verbally. I don’t like talking, especially on the phone and in s
