Look.
The times are tough. When one looks across the globe there is evidence of the hardship that greed and bad judgment has produced.
The people that suffer are the people that ultimately ...

You read that one right.
Take one Small Brown Package born on the Canadian Prairies ensure equal parts of black and gay, mix with epithets and whole lot of talent and you get Barend Mackenzie.
Xtra West recently did a wonderful article on him and the show. Having Natasha Barsotti on staff ...

Looking around I said to myself the other day:
Dear Laundry:
You know I love your freshness when you are done, and the clean variety you offer. Without a question the site of you piled in a corner awaiting my attentions plagues my mind every time I search for something to wear. ...

Below is a smattering of where you can expect to find me over the coming ...

I fly a lot and I'm always looking down at the majesty of what is not apparent from the ground. Perspective really is reality.
Going to Desire Weekend for Leather Women last year I remember looking down at the States' food growing centre. And at freeways JAMMED with people all rushing ...

Here we have CBC. A national broadcaster that really feels like the heart of Canada to me. Maybe not the whole heart, but certainly a chamber.
One of the programs run on CBC Radio One on Saturday mornings is North by Northwest which has resurected a segment called Lost Childhood Books. ...

I was introduced to this video during the winter holidays of 2008. Yep just over a month ago.
I was at a holiday house party for a group of kinksters in Edmonton Alberta. Many of them belong to COPE, the local group running a public dungeon party on a monthly basis. ...

A friend said: "why don't you post to your LiveJournal?"
Which is a valid question since I'm kinda anti-lurker, ya know?
And I replied: If I could Twitter via phone and have that post to there, you'd see some content."
So then she hooked me into phone Twittering. But she didn't know how ...

Someone is getting all artistic about the bits & pieces that swirl in my mind... helps me in being grounded that my line of thought - just because it isn't "popular" or "mainstream" or "comfortable" for others - isn't completely fucking CRAZY. What I need are folks who can keep ...

I've been researching *around* SecondLife because my current machine won't let me get online. I'm curious about people's experiences. Apparently there is more than sex, gambling a commerce going on...
I'm facinated that it seems to be full of white people, furries and robots. I'm fascinated that there are SERIOUS ...
