Lately I’ve been feeling a little… well, burnt out. Burnout is certainly something that I’ve experienced before–I get overwhelmed by the amount of things going on in my life and my effort to continue doing all them leaves me pretty exhausted. And, if you read my post about Finding Balance a few months ago, you’ll know…Read more »
Finding Balance
Balance. You don’t have to know me very well or for very long to understand that balance is something that I really struggle with in my life. I’m not talking about my depth perception and center of gravity–although I am one of the clumsiest people you’ll ever meet, and “injury prone” doesn’t even begin to…Read more »
Another Summer, Come and Gone
It’s officially the last weekend before school starts up again. Hard to believe–in some ways it feels like I was just in Ecuador yesterday, and in others, it feels like it was a lifetime ago. It’s been a short summer, in the way summers always are, but when I stop to think of how much I’ve done?…Read more »
Nothing More to Win
I always try to keep an air of professionalism when I talk about the Edmonton Oil Kings, but when you invest so much time and emotion into something over the years, spending countless hours in cold rinks, living and dying by the win-loss record of a hockey team–it’s hard to keep it separate. This team…Read more »
Memories of Quito
I was recently given the opportunity to embark on a 12-day trip to South America to do some communication research in Quito, Ecuador. At the very least, I thought, I’ll get class credit–for a mandatory 4th year course I had absolutely no desire to do in a classroom. And I have to say: it turned out…Read more »
For the Love of the Game
We’re in the middle of the first round of NHL playoffs, which, in my opinion, is the most exciting part of the NHL season, and it’s also the conference finals in the WHL, with two great series going on… but I’m here to talk about baseball. I know, I know. There must be something seriously wrong…Read more »
Reflections: On Who I’ve Become
With the exception of one exam, I’ve just wrapped up my second first year of University–my second first year, of course, because of my brief stint as a English-cum-Swedish major back in 2009, but we won’t talk about that–and I definitely see it as cause for celebration on my part. It’s almost a surreal feeling…Read more »
Congrats on the Career, #94
I’ve been an Oilers fan for a long, long time–longer than I can even remember. In the last two decades or so that I’ve had memories, I’ve seen a lot of great players have some great careers, and I’ve also seen a lot of those great careers end–sometimes with varying levels of sadness on my…Read more »
Halifax Mooseheads Pre-Game Show
Egg Studios is a… multimedia… digital… well, EVERYTHING company from Atlantic Canada, aka God’s country. They’ve worked on about a hundred things you’ve seen and didn’t know they were behind–as animators, editors, producers, writers, or just about anything. They’re all about innovation and breaking the mold and having FUN–yea, basically exactly the kind of company you…Read more »
Hello friends.
So what I’ve found is that, despite my love of twitter, the temptation to use it for evil has been overwhelming over the years. No matter what I do, I just can’t stop. See, I have this thing where I get on a topic and I can’t help but post seven or eight tweets about it…Read more »
