Those of us who are active can often find our energy sapped. Going to school or work, spending time with friends and participating in activities and hobbies are all positive things, but what do you do when you feel like you just can’t get up in the morning or you hit the pillow hard […]
I just got a new pet the other day. I have wanted one for a while but I finally found one who matched my personality and wishes for a pet.

I’ve only just discovered the 101 things in 1001 days project. I know it’s been around for awhile now but I only just stumbled onto it last night. And this morning it got me thinking, mainly about whether or not I think I could actually do that and perhaps more importantly could I even think […]

Posted in Imagination, Health, Happiness, misc on Dec 10th, 2007
In a post last week I used a comic by Toothpaste for Dinner, by far one of my favourite web comics. Let’s back track a bit though. A conversation with my mom last week made me realize how inaccessible the internet was to such a huge demographic, which includes my mother, that I am now […]
