Lone ranger, only friend a gun.Lost in translation.Lost in amidst adaptation.Sceneries change.Golden leaves translate into bare slates.Earth adapts, evolves.Buried deep under root, one sleeps in agony.Forgetting -that death is not the only manifestation of true love.

The illusion collapses -Like a lung, devoured by cancer.Love is a sickness -With each sound that breaks I think of you.Go away. Find a cure -Putting on an act, I stray.

Today is unlike any other. I see you in true light, originating from the vastest depths of my mind, I seem to be unkind.. Taking my life away, I feel I must cast myself astray, Together in pain, forever separate from parallel paths. Love has done unto me a vigorous task, always hoping, never knowing, where you and I stand, forever in trust, but far from eternal dust. I love you, admire you,

A conservative man points his finger in my direction and shouts fool. I stand at the bottom of a hill looking up at him and I am small. His pockets are coloured in green and his teeth shine like gold. I am nothing in comparison; I do not have a hundred diamonds to sell. He says all is well for those who prosper; he preaches the word of the market. Flicking my cigarette, I stare absent

Wash me away in a flood of misery.Loose me to time, like my tears are lost in the rain. In the sunlight we can not deny the chemistry, By the moon I walked in vain. Bothered I feel, for a fool’s will is always damned, Release me from your hating captivity and strike me with a forgiving hand. Suffocating in a room filled with despair, No breath to redeem my sorrowed sins. You begin to believe

From my understanding, wisdom is the highest and purest form of enlightenment and all other things before that are merely tools needed to achieve wisdom. Data and information can be presented to anyone through books, media, computers etc. Therefore, a computer can not sustain a level of wisdom, for it has no means to carry out good actions and decisions, nor does it have the ability to be

Our dollars, our grime. why can’t we just love what was in existence before mankind? The British community are recognized as people who are being taxed the most dollars by their government to make up for all the CO2 emissions that have been weakening our atmosphere. Is this democracy or even an initiative to change the wrong that we have been creating for years now? I think not. The British

She has an oral fixation.Smoking cigarettes, bitting the tips of her blotched nails -Chewing, the string that hangs from a torn sweater.To see is not enough, to taste can set you free.She can taste the air on a dull summer night, clouds hanging low.On her tongue -Sweet juices melt.Humidity dampens her hair, curls unfurl over grey eyes.An image of a woman drowning.

I think I may be one of the few people who wake up in the morning and remember, quite vividly, Mr. Sandman's gift of DREAMS. I have decided to start recording my dreams - Wouldn't it be super cool if there were some new and profound technology that somehow could record dreams, capture the images, the sequence of random events that take place in our sleep? Just the other night I had a dream that I

It is that time of year when everyone seemingly gets sick with the common cold. Everyone this winter season is in fear of getting swine flu, but I think most of us are enduring the burden of the common cold. I decided to compile a list of homemade REMEDIES that will surely soothe any sore throat, stuffy nose, or achy body! Sometimes the cure doesn't have to involve hours of waiting at a clinic.1.

When you think back to the early twentieth century, prior and post both World Wars, technologically was developing rapidly, as it is now. However, traditional forms of radio, tv, and print are emerging on a new landscape, cyberspace.

Ok, so I can't help but come to the conclusion that virtually everybody has sung their heart in the shower and then after they are done, formualte the idea that they have an AWESOME singing voice and can be the next Canadian Idol.Truth is, the structure of a bathroom and the raw materials used to build tiles, toilets and sinks all contribute to making your voice sound more spectacular than it

Ok, so we all know that Halloween is partially a result of Hollywood's American filmmakers and classic novelists like, Mary Shelly, author of Frankenstein. But, how exactly did we come to start dressing up in gory, bizarre, fantastical costumes? Where does the word Jack-O-Lantern come from? Halloween is rooted in the Gaelic culture. This fall festivity is a result from the Gaelic festival of

Is it really true that buried deep within the heart of Santa Fe, New Mexico there is a remote village of green activists creating a model community based on earth's sustainablity and health?YES!This new phenomenon is known as permaculture aka permanent agriculture. Ellen Page, teen star from the hit movie Juno proclaims that permaculture is a holistic way to live (The Huffington Post).It is the

Is propaganda wearing you down?In response to Outfoxed:Rupert Murdoch's War on Journalism, I am going to comment on Fox News' use of fear building tactics and propaganda. Being a Canadian, I can't say that I tune into Fox on a regular basis, but after watching the video listed above there is much to say about the Fox network as a political weapon.Media can be deemed the nervous system of any

Picture provided by google images If you are looking for an alternative source to gather your daily news, I have one recommendation...COMEDY NEWS SHOWS, such as The Colbert Report and The Daily Show.I think intertwining a bit of comic relief into current event broadcasting is such a great idea. I find it easier and more intriguing to watch The Colbert Report or the The Daily Show to gather some

My room mate was at Big Daddy's Sharwma House last week and came home with a giant fat filled poutine, but that was not it. As she entered the house she threw a pamphlet onto my lap and proclaimed, "YOU MUST READ THIS", So I did.On the front of the brochure in big black writing it reads, "Are You at Risk?". Automatically it grabbed my attention and after reading it from cover to cover, I wanted

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to go a WHOLE three days without access to any sort of TECHNOLOGY we utilize on a daily basis?I know a lot of people have gone on "technology fasts", but over the past long weekend I experienced it first hand. Basically, I did not have access to the internet for three days while I was in Montreal visiting my grandmother. I kept thinking, "I have to do

From the book, "Deviance, Conformity, and Social Control In Canada", written by Bereska, I found a study concerning women and tattoo culture. Tattooing, throughout history, has been closely tied to masculinity, thereofore making it acceptable for men to promote body art. However, when it comes to women and tattoos, society holds a different judgement.Social theorists, Hawkes, Senn, and Thorn (

Turkey Day is fast approaching. A time where family gathers around a table full of delicious food and drink. But, do you know why Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving? In 1578, and English Explorer named Martin Frobisher attempted to discover a passageway to the orient, however he ended up establishing a settlement in North America (Canada). He held a ceremony in Newfoundland to celebrate the

Have you ever found yourself staring up at the sky in a state of pure wonder, just thinking about the origins of the universe and how EXACTLY we came to be? I have, many times with friends or on my own. The universe is a complex, vast, yet purely inspiring thing to gaze upon. Though I am a MIT student, it is required of me to take a science course, so this year I am finally getting it over with.

For all those dog-loving people out there who think they know their pet well, I am about to reveal 2 simple truths about dogs that you might have never known. When you kneel down to give your pup a lick of your ice cream cone, your friends moan and groan at you thinking you are disgusting. You quickly defend yourself by saying, "Dogs have the cleanliest mouths" But, do they? How do you know?Guss

I was at work the other day and considering that I work in a cafe, it is inevitable that I am going to encounter numerous people throughout my shift. Most of the customers are regulars who I have come to know (to a certain extent) and since I serve the same people every day, I have come to notice certain features about these people, mainly their SMELL. Do not worry, the aromas that seep into the

Have you ever wondered or been curious about something, but then just let it slide? If you are answering YES to these questions, I am in the same boat as you!Often enough I stumble across a certain thing that sparks my
