Another one bites the dust.

Single is sexy. Single is empowering. Single is strength, independence, Pussycat Doll dancin’, I don’t need a man singin’.
Single is also crazy.
Oddly enough that crazy is not due to most single women being insane, although I do know of a few horror stories that would have me retract that statement. However, most of the time, [...]

My personal documents folder is exploding with mindless dribble about the spewing of personal nonsense that has consumed my brain for the past while. None of it has been posted, but today reminded me of why I wrote any of it in the beginning. So I figured, take it to the mattresses. No, I have [...]

The streets will be alive tomorrow in Toronto with sounds of signs being unveiled. Ed Mirvish, Theatre impresario and Honestly one of Toronto’s most well-known philanthropists, will be honoured on Duncan Street at noon.

Q, a Canadian Radio Show on CBC Radio One was reminiscent of the ol’ Cowboy Days yesterday. All that was missing was a slap of the white glove to denounce a duel. Jian Ghomeshi had his work cut out for him as Billy Bob Thornton, member of the Boxmasters, was just not having any of [...]

I for a long time have wished for a moment in time where the couch was my playground. I wanted to be the owner of my remote control, watch entire seasons of television shows in one sitting and eat snacks not meals. I dreamed of wearing only sweats or pajamas and taking half hour [...]

Sitting in class, a new outfit on that is clearly way too fall for the still summer weather, new notebooks in tow and a fresh new haircut. For 20 years this has been my day after labour day. Instead, today I am left with a mid-twenties crisis at the age of 22. How do you [...]

Most women have done this at some point or another, I just tend to do it a little more often. Think about one of your favourite chick flicks or go girl television shows. How many times have you seen the lead character walk through a busy street with a theme song playing that puts an [...]
