TALK YOUR WAY OUT OF THIS ONE!
This morning, I was at a fundraising event and me and my friends started talking about a hockey road trip that our team went on a few years ago. The shenanigans of a particular teammate, who wasn't at this event, came up and the discussion then turned to one of his most hilarious screw-ups ever....

WHY WE LOVE SLASHER FLICKS
Why is it that people enjoy slasher horror movies so much? After reading Moondawg’s post on the subject, I figured I would try to answer that question, since I am one of those people. It’s kind of like having a good friend who everyone else hates; it’s difficult putting into words what it is that...

KIDS ARE NOT CLAY - OR SNOW, FOR THAT MATTER
Well, it snowed overnight up here in northern British Columbia. I brought my baby boy out for a little sleigh ride and it couldn't help but remind me of the snow times I've had with my older son. My oldest was never that excited about snow. He never went charging out upon first sight of it,...

ON WOMEN'S DAY, I CELEBRATE ONE WOMAN
Today is International Women’s Day and, rather than celebrate the great strides that women have made in the past few decades, I celebrate, instead, my mom. I celebrate her because she is one of the most honest, hard-working women I have ever known and she will never get to enjoy the freedom and...

DOES GOD GIVE PEOPLE EVIL POWERS?
So, my mom and sisters still believe that a certain nasty, elderly woman in our tribe (I am a Canadian First Nations man) is capable of putting a curse on the family, if we go against her in any way. It came up again at dinner over the weekend and I couldn't help but be flabbergasted by it. "We'd...

MY NIGHT AS A WOMAN
With International Women’s Day fast approaching, it got me thinking of the first time (yes, I said first time) I went all out in dressing like a woman. It was at an event our theatre group hosted, as a fundraiser for the local women’s shelter. The evening featured readings, monologues, theatre and...

JON STEWART'S READY TO ROCK!
I always watch the Academy Awards because I am a big movie buff (I am actually taking a course currently and my dream is to make one some day!) but, I have to admit, the awards can be boring. Not this year! Jon Stewart is the Awards host and that means there should be plenty of good laughs as no one...

WHY DO STRAIGHT WOMEN HAVE "GIRL" FRIENDS?
I always find it interesting that women always refer to their female friends as "girl" friends. What's with that? If someone is a friend, aren't they just that, a friend? I mean, I don't call my male friends boy friends. And, when I talk about a friend who happens to be female, I just say friend...

OSCARS HONOR MIMICRY - BUT IS IT GREAT ACTING?
With the Academy Awards due up this weekend, I’ve noticed that, once again, actors playing famous people have made them nominees: Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash and Philip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote. I’m not sure I like this trend. Last year, Jamie Foxx won for his turn as music legend Ray...

HOW ABOUT SOME MUSTARD ON THAT (FAMILY) DOG?
It really bugs me when people slam other societies for the animals they eat. The most common one is dog; people will whine, with disgusted faces, “how can they eat Lassie??” I remember when the last World Cup of soccer was held in South Korea, FIFA (soccer’s world governing body) asked the country...
