I am not a Stone

 I am not a stone.

quite the opposite

the daily occurrences of triviality

affect me in ways

I wish I could control more.


I am hoping 

to harden soon.

To my brother.

Image
Just last week we had a video chat while I was in Istanbul, and I couldn't have been more proud of the guy on the other end of the call. You were back in the gym, working at a new spot, and you sounded  happy . Happiest I had heard you in a while actually. We kinda kept it brief and said "I love you" as a goodbye and then hung up. The whole conversation was less than 10 minutes.  I was so proud of my friend, of my brother, of my partner in crime and mayhem at many different junctions of our lives.  Man, you sure knew how to piss me off sometimes though. You must've been my brother because we have had some drag out brawls over the years. It was always from a place of love and friendship (we were just both stubborn personalities), but we both knew exactly how to get the other going.    We also had some insanely fun times, some of the best memories in my life involve you and your crazy brand of fun that was absolutely infectious and brought everyone into your massi...

Alberta Seperation Anxiety

Image
Alberta separatists are easily manipulated, whiny losers who only understand an ego-centrist level of national politics and are completely (and most of the time wilfully) ignorant on a global scale.  It is not OK to rob our future generations with your radical fringe opinions. Not that you could anyways, as there are enough sane people in this province and country to keep your half-witted ideas on the fringes, where they belong.  Not only is what you believe destructive and harmful in a general sense, it is locally, globally, and historically dangerous to Albertans, Canadians and the world.  Separatists also have no idea the absolute horror show and pain that separation would cause the lives of Albertans. If you think we would take all of Alberta with us, you are delusional. How do you think trade with Canada will go after leaving the federation? Being a landlocked country would handicap our import/export options. Multi-national investments would drop off due to instabili...

3. To my Son: Practice is the key to life

Image
 Practice is the key to life.  Nobody is great at anything the very first time they try. Sometimes it might seem like that, because often people won't allow you to see a skill or talent until they have been at home practising that skill for many hours.  Most professional athletes work for actual years, every day for multiple hours to get as good as they are at their profession. It all takes work and dedication to do something well. This is why school, and post secondary education, and grad school all exist. Because if you want a good life and to become skilled at something, it takes a long time to get there.  So pick up hobbies, but follow through. This world is littered with people who try to do something and aren't good right away, and quit doing that thing. Then they move on to the next thing and repeat the process, never gaining any actual skills and floating through life as a person who isn't really good at anything and expecting the world to be good to them. Th...
