  • Jimmy Simpson Park in Toronto

    As we entered into Jimmy Simpson Park, the dog and I we passed two men sitting at a picnic table. One of them had his face flat on the surface of the table. He was utterly motionless, but his friend continued talking away as if nothing was unusual, as if it was just Darren’s “thing,”…

  • On Sinuses

    My sinuses are bad, like Darth Vader. They dress in black and ride a pale horse. They’ll ask if you’ve gained a little weight right when you’re feeling pretty good about yourself. They won’t laugh when you say something really funny. Buy you a self-help book for your birthday. They are the most evil sinuses…

  • Queen Street East, Toronto

    In the Starbucks at the corner of Logan and Queen, sits a young blonde woman. She’s by the window and she’s wearing her one professional suit, the one she carefully shopped for at Winners and not impulsively splurged on at Holt Renfrew.

They appeared like the sort of women that would form a…

Fortunately, I was able to persuade Clark, our insecure complete dong of an instructor, to let me back in the class providing that I followed a few of his “simple rules.” 1) No Angry Birds during class. 2) Only…

  • A beggar on Queen East

    Not many men beg on the part of Queen East where we live. There just isn’t enough pedestrian traffic to make it worthwhile. There are no office buildings or primary employment hubs about so if you’re wandering around during the day it usually means that you have nothing better to do, and if you happen…

  • Angry Birds Testimonials

    I came late to the game Angry Birds. As most of you know it’s an insanely popular video game application that’s presently sold over 12 million copies. Originally made just for iPhones, it’s now designed for other touchscreen phones, too, so if you’ve ever wondered what everybody was obsessing over on their phones before the…
