I am from darkest Alberta, or Edmonton.  I enjoy winter but love summer.  No more drugs or alcohol for this kid, but I have lots to share on the subject.  Also life, loss and love.  I think I’m funny and serious and I actually like most people.  Former aspiring actor, cook,car salesman, waiter/bartender, construction labourer, drug dealer…lets just say I have tried and failed.  Good news:  I am not afraid to fail, or encourage others to try.  Love to travel, love my family, enjoy the company of the elderly and cats and dogs.  I think I’m smrt???? and have a good memory for useless trivia (think Cliff Clavin, but handsome).  I am 28 and a man, who loves hockey and cooking shows, go figure…

Not everything we do here is art. Hardly a thing I do should even be in the same room as art. I do want to be the best I can be, but at what cost? What is a convention and why does it exist? I think it is to have a common standard on which to be judged. Then why do we want to be judged? I think it is to be respected by our peers. Who are these peers and why are they our peers? Like minded people with like minded goals. I could go on in such a fashion for many moons to come, but I won't, it's ...

I am officially at the end of my rope. My mom and dad were nice enough to give me a lot of rope. Almost enough to hang myself with. There is no greater meaning to life except that which you give it. You can spend a lifetime exploring and discovering and you might never find it. When I heard the expression 'there is no Zen on the top of the mountain, there is only the Zen you bring with you' I thought I got it. Turns out I only partially understood it. Therein lies the worst part of humanity. ...

All this time waiting and breathing... The popcorn was too salty and the drink was more then four people had any right to drink but this had become a personal investment of my time and my spirit just wouldn't let me go because I just simply had to see where this was going even though it was evident to anyone with half a brain that of course someone would save the day and yet there I sat complacently waiting for what was slowly becoming mush in my brain regretting this piece of crap that if I ...

Haiku/Senryu / Beheading
Wow, very descriptive for such a short piece. I hope very much you don't own a sword. Scary, are you okay?
Short Story / Brookside
A good story with many details, almost too many. That could just be my preference mind you. It certainly had a hook, what with the mystery. Did want to read to find out what was happening to Kendra. I have the opinion, and it is only opinion, that so much precise and up to date information distracted from the story. It did flesh out Charles but came off a little like advertising.
Novel Treatments / The Light of Pensieri
I liked this story. Good setting, as in I felt like I could see the cabin and the cold. The old women is creepy and the mood was set early on. Godd stuff and I'd like to read more...

Good setting. Clear dialogue. Then what's wrong? I think that this piece is remeniscent of many gang/bad boy stories. Nothing wrong with that, except I could swear I've read or seen this before. Gritty and real, based on a true story. It's good for what it is, but it probably will only capture an audience that allready enjoys this kind of stuff. Maybe that's not such a bad thing...
Poetry / Will You
I guess I want to know why such angst exists in young adults. Why must you melt away into nothingness, diminished into fuck all. Is death preferable to life. What is so horrible. Granted, the poem gets these feelings across, regardless of the source. There really is a sense of being totally alone, or a least misunderstood. Same thing for some people.
