When it rains, it pours they say. Over the last few days, it poured in Rhode Island to the tune of 9 inches. If it were snow, we’d have more than 7 feet. In fact, more rain has fallen in the month of March than in any other month in the state’s recorded history—ever.
As I [...]

On the road again!

March 30, 2010 | 32 Comments

Packing my life into two suitcases has become one of my favorite pastimes. And “on the road again” has become one of my most frequented mantras.
Early tomorrow morning, I’ll hit the road and move from Toronto (I hope you had fun with me in Canada!) to Rhode Island. I’ll probably tweet along the way, so [...]

The universe ate my resume.

Six weeks ago, I came across a part-time job opening at an amazing, spiritually-aligned organization that was looking to vamp up its online presence. When I read the job description, I was certain that this job was written for me; there was nothing that I wanted more than this position.
In my mind, there was no [...]

Touching strangers.

March 28, 2010 | 43 Comments

“Reach out and touch someone,” was telecommunication giant AT&T’s award-winning tag line during the 1980s. But as it turns out, the likely outcome of reaching out and touching someone is a sexual harassment lawsuit.
This day and age, humans have become very careful about the people we touch. And for good reason. I remember learning the [...]

Welcome to Leslieville, Toronto.

March 27, 2010 | 33 Comments

Perched atop one of Toronto’s main arteries, Leslieville is one of my new favorite neighborhoods; Leslieville did a wonderful job of capturing my heart and satisfying my palate – which are really one in the same.
I embarked on the adventure with my friend, Dan. Armed with City Walks: Toronto, we hopped on the streetcar for [...]

Unless you’ve been living under a snowball on the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard, you’ve probably heard the expression “fuck my life” or its “FML” abbreviation. It’s popular with the kids (there are even blogs dedicated to it); here are a few real life examples from Twitter:

Relationships are not like hats or gloves: Monogamy, polygamy, our society and you.

March 24, 2010 | 43 Comments

Relationships are not like hats or gloves—there is no one-size-fits-all approach that works for all of us.
Human beings are all very different. We have differing wants and needs, cultures, religions, goals, dreams and ideas. And despite this great diversity, our society espouses the same thing for all of us: monogamy.
