Aeronautics 101
Universities like to offer a rounded education. As a result, students are required to select a certain number of courses from various categories as part of their major.

After all, oneContinue reading “You Had One Job”

It is bound by endless rules that we spend every stage of education learning, making it so ingrained into our beings that we often take it for grant it. People who know the rules usually don’t stop to think about them or questionContinue reading “Incoming”
Call of the Wild
Its that time of year when everything changes overnight. It is the in-between where barren becomes lush, cold becomes warm, monochrome lands becomes techno-colour dreamscapes and the mosquitos haven’t quite figured out that their buffet has re-opened for the season. Spring has officially sprung. One day, on a morning like any other, you wake upContinue reading “Call of the Wild”
No Running in the House!
It seems like just last week we were having sub zero weather with snow. Now, out of no where, we are being hit with a heat wave. You might think that coming out of a frigid winter would make me appreciative of this, and I would be…if it were a pleasant warm, but today isContinue reading “No Running in the House!”
Attack Cat

If anyone tries to tell you that cats don’t have a personality. They are lying. People have tried to tell me that cats do not have expressions, don’t have much of a personality and are not overly affectionate. This is usually part of an attempt to turn me into a dog person. Now, while IContinue reading “Cattitude – Life Lessons from Felines”

Technology is the Devil
Technology is the devil incarnate. It knows when it is crunch time, you’re tired, or you’re just not in the mood to deal with it’s crap and it picks that exact moment to throw a temper tantrum. My first glimpse of this was back when tamagotchi’s were a thing…you know, those little egg-shaped electric keychainsContinue reading “Technology is the Devil”
Chivalry is Dead?
They say chivalry is dead. I know there are some romantics out there who like to disagree, but after a lifetime of experiences proving this hypothesis I have become the type of person who grows slightly suspicious of a man holding a door open. In fact, in the rare instances where this does happen, IContinue reading “Chivalry is Dead?”
