The other day while riding the subway through Mexico City, a man walked by selling math dictionaries. That’s right, mathematic dictionaries being sold on the subway for $2. Then another man walked by selling gum. Then someone walked by with a stereo strapped to their chest playing music from a pirated CD they were selling. It’s…
The other day while running some errands in downtown Mexico City, I felt like buying a Coke. Not just any Coke though, a Coke in a glass bottle. Although common in Mexico City, the stores nearby to where I was only had plastic bottles. Despite being in a rush, I walked 3 blocks just because…
Last week, I visited a Ron Mueck gallery in Mexico City. I’m not usually a museum/gallery type of person (although I did love the museum of Anthropology and the peace museum in Hiroshima) but since tuesdays were free, I decided to take a look. If your unfamiliar with Ron Mueck, he is a hyperrealistic sculptor…
First off, let me be the first to say that Las Vegas is not one of my favorite places. It can be a ton of fun but it’s just not my typical type of adventure. However, It’s definitely a cool place to see once and I know many people who absolutely love it. When I…

When one chapter ends and another hopefully begins. I wrote about this on the bus heading home from a 2-week job on a military base in Wainwright, Alberta. It was a totally unique experience. I had received an offer to act as a villager in a military role play exercise. This meant I got to…
It’s been a dream of mine for sometime to be able to pay for a trip for my mom and dad. I always thought it would be a really cool gift to send them somewhere unique and different from anywhere else they have been. Unfortunately, as a student/shoe-string online entrepreneur, buying plane tickets for other…
I’m writing this quick post to let you know about a new project I’m working on. I know it’s been a while since I’ve made a post but I assure you, Im not dead. Actually, I’ve been working to write posts behind the scenes and focus more on off-screen writing (for the time-being) as well…
Who says we can’t be inspired while lying on a couch! I know I was. I was sitting there before pulling the couch out into a bed, amazed by the kindness and openness of the people we were staying with. We didn’t know them at all. My girlfriend and I had arrived in another country…
I’m pretty sure the name “O” was given precisely due to the reaction of the audience. ooooo. Wow! That’s what I heard over and over as I sat through Cirque Du Soleil’s spectacular production of O. A very good tribute to the beauty of theatre, this Las Vegas only show features immaculate stage design, beautiful…
