MEAT I sure hope I’m not the only that adds hot sauce to all of my foods. Bland food has no taste or flavour to me. I did some research, and tried this out myself, but meat tastes much better with hot sauce. The meat could be any kind, ranging from hot to cold. The…
I never really listen to anything in the top 100 range, so I thought I’d take an adventure through the most popular downloads right now. Hopefully I’ll make it out alive… 5. The Monster (feat. Rihanna) – Eminem Hmm. I’m not huge on the tune itself, but upon analyzing the lyrics, I found a message…
Now I have to admit, I didn’t actually watch the Golden Globes. I’m not a huge TV and movie person, so I wouldn’t have really known what people were getting their awards for anyways. That being said, I was however very keen to see what all of the celebrities, particularly the ladies, decided to wear…
Arguably one of the best A Capella groups that exist on YouTube, Pentatonix became almost an instant success when they banded together in 2011. Now, their videos on YouTube get millions of views and the group has even gone on a few tours. And it’s not hard to see why everyone loves them so much.…
It’s that time of year again: everyone at school is stressing about exam schedules, worrying about their averages and cramming for exams. Every year is pretty much the same, except this year I’m in Grade 12, and the stress level of my peers is definitely skyrocketing. Diploma prep. University applications. Making the grade. These are…

Earlier this week, Sophie, a 7-year-old girl, wrote to Australia’s national science organization CSIRO, asking if they could work on making a dragon for her. Yes, a dragon. The letter read as follows: Hello Lovely Scientist My name is Sophie and I am 7 years old. My dad told me about the scientists at the…
1. “Do or do not, there is no try” -Yoda In my opinion, this is undoubtedly one of the best quotes to date (of course, by a non-fiction character). We experience many different things during our lifetime, both good and bad. For some odd reason, whenever something doesn’t go our way, or we perhaps…
All of us have dreams. Whether they are practical or not, they are our heart’s desires. They are what we crave for, they make life worth it. But what’s the point if you are living to impress others, neglecting what your heart yearns for? Neglecting what you were made to do, neglecting those talents that have…
I have written many posts about books turned into movies and have expressed my opinion multiple times online about how not every book needs to be turned into a feature film. So I have decided to start up a segment that I like to call Book vs movie! My first victim: Never Let Me Go.…
http://www.ted.com/talks/cesar_kuriyama_one_second_every_day.html In the fast-paced world of today, it’s much too easy to find ourselves lost. Not necessarily in terms of which road to turn onto and what exit to take (though in Calgary that’s never an easy feat either). What I mean is the confusion of what is now, what is the past, what is…
You know when you’re casually browsing the internet for a new song, or a certain picture? But, before you know it, you’ve spent four hours online and are watching a video on training special breeds of giraffes? Suddenly you’ve found yourself in the weird part of the internet. I got stuck in the deep, dark…
2013 was a great year, with a lot of great video games. Here are my top five. 5. Battlefield 4 Even though Battlefield 4 had a rough start, it is slowly improving. I chose this game because of the top-of-the-line graphics. 4. Saints Row 4 Saints Row 4 is a fairly good game containing free…
