Uh-oh. A new era begins in the US

Careful what I wish for I guess….. For better or for worse, I think the better man won the election. I’m a little unsettled that the Democrats also took control of the Senate and the House. 2 ways to think about that I guess: 1) With control comes the ability to make the tough decisions… Read More »

My review of James ‘Hey Ma’

I got the new James album. The first since their 2 year breakup. It is a triumphant return. I like this album for the following reasons: 1) It takes on a similar format and sound to the “Sound” album…arguably my favourite James offering. They’ve brought back the trumpet overtones that is distinctly James. They also… Read More »

First Snow of winter

Today marks the 1st day of snow. On that note, just a reminder that the US election is coming up. I think based on the fact that Obama is younger and will live long enough to regret and/or own up to the mistakes he makes over the next four years, he should be the one… Read More »

Breaking up is hard to do

I have been a Good Life member for over 10 years. I became a member just after graduating university. The only thing that mattered then was finding something cheap. The club was a perfect match for me and for every other grad as witnessed by the age group of the crowd that goes there. Time… Read More »

The geo-political state of the world

Here we stand on the brink of a Brave New World: -we have a minority PC government again when we’re in a time where a majority leadership (I don’t really care who) is needed to make some tough decisions coming up. -we have a mortgage breakdown that’s crippling the economy but nobody seems to be… Read More »
