Immune to Homelessness
Walking to work today I discovered how I’ve become immune to homelessness living in the city. A younger guy wearing a hooded sweater and unshaven face walked toward me this morning.

Now I lay me down to sleep… 3
Practical jokes are no stranger amongst my brother and I. Living at the new loft with the open concept layout has only increased the temptation to play a practical joke on Tommy.

I took a few days off work this week to move into my loft. I’ve been sleeping at the new place for 2 nights now, and so far I’m loving it a lot. It’s almost like staying in a hotel, but it feels more like a home. I’m very excited to get everything moved over ...
Who is your Daddy and what does he do? 1
Late on Friday night in the midst of studying for my Accounting exam, some Jewish kid called me to inquire about purchasing my Jeep. He then went off topic and told me that his father only speaks Russian and Hebrew. Knowing my last name, the kid thought I was Jewish so he asked me if ...
Invisible male buffer space
This weekend I played in a hockey tournament, playing 3 games today and 1 game yesterday after writing 2 exams.
