Here is the world you asked for,
        gorgeous and opportune,

here is nine o’clock, harbor wide,
       and a glinting code: promise and warning
             The morning’s the size of heaven.

What will you do with it?

Canada is home.
Yet, like the older brother you look up to,
it was always bigger than life.
Its optimism.
Its vastness.
Its spirit.

I’ve been elsewhere.

Argentina. The middle class dream wasn’t a 4-bedroom home in the suburbs. It was sending your children to a college in the U.S.

Deepening The Wonder

recite-12953--1453950961-1gg1iec(1)

Death is a favor to us, But our scales have lost their balance. The impermanence of the body Should give us great clarity, Deepening the wonder in our senses and eyes Of this mysterious existence we share And are surely just traveling through. Continue reading “Deepening The Wonder”

Are you hot? Cool off!

Here in Algoma, WI, we hear rumors of heat waves in other parts of the country

The Best Examples Of People Caught Cheating On Facebook

Have you seen the website dogshaming? For some reason, it’s wildly popular. People assuage their feelings of anger against their dogs by posting pictures of them along with the ‘crime’ they have committed. Here are a few examples:

Made me wonder why some enterprising gal hasn’t launched a site called ‘manshaming’ but for right now, this will have to do:

According to the super-reliable Internet news source known as Reddit, this guy was just spotted in the Arundle Hills Mall in Maryland. That same journalistic authority (we’ll stop blindly trusting Reddit when CNN does) says that pad of paper in his left hand (screen right, geniuses) is for collecting 500 signatures to get his girlfriend to take him back. Sources (nope, the same source) also claim that a.) the girlfriend was standing in the corner in a green camouflage jacket glaring at him and b.) he started getting very friendly with a “raven-haired beauty” who suggested he shouldn’t have to submit himself to this humiliation.

Cheating is really stupid. Cheating in the Age of Facebook is really, really stupid. Cheating on your significant other when they know your Facebook password is really, really, really, really stupid. Everyone in this list did the first two stupid things, but it’s really amazing how many people put in the extra lack of effort needed to go full stupid. Hopefully you’ll read this and feel good about what a decent person you are for not being a horrible person, or maybe you’ll think of something creative to do to someone who’s wronged you. Alternatively, you might get really freaked out and decide that now’s a good time to break it off with that loser on the side and delete all your texts, calls, emails, and Facebook messages. That would be a good idea.
