Although it’s been a few years since graduation, somehow September still feels like it’s supposed to be the start of a new year. Crisp mornings, increased traffic flow, the buzz of students flocking the streets, and the introduction of all things pumpkin spice hitting the shelves. When you are in school, September feels almost magical,Continue reading “Back to School”

All is Fair in Water and War
In this world there are certain things you just shouldn’t do, and engaging in combat with a trained soldier is one of them. Unfortunately for Josh, my high school boyfriend, this was a lesson he had to learn the hard way. The battle ground was a sweltering summer day at a family barbecue. The afternoonContinue reading “All is Fair in Water and War”
My Daddy Said Shoot
It’s no secret that confidence is key in this world. Without it, people will often run right over you. But gaining confidence is far easier said than done, and sometimes, at least for me, it seems more like a winding road of hills rather than a straight path. Confidence comes from a variety of sources.Continue reading “My Daddy Said Shoot”
Warning: Contents May Explode
Man, it’s hot out there! How hot? Well, let’s just say that it’s the kind of day where your grandpa would make a comment about frying an egg on the sidewalk, and he wouldn’t be wrong.

A strong work ethic is a valuable thing. It is what drives us to succeed, what motivates us to go back to the grind day in and day out, the guiding factor in getting our butts out of bed in the morning and the thing that carries us through life in general. 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
There is no denying the validity of guard dogs. They are known for being great protectors, and have a long hard earned track record for security and law enforcement positions. It is no wonder I have heard single people or families cite home security as a top reason they want a larger dog breed asContinue reading “Attack Cat”
