It's unbelievably amazing how writing autobiographical information can lead to a life-threatening (not to mention eye-twitching) case of writer's block! This leaves me no choice but to do so in the most uncreative way one could proceed: in lists. Although, enumerating facts is arguably the most logical route, as Sherlock Holmes may express. It, however, does not wholly illustrate my passion for visual arts, travel, and - as speculated - my tendency to live in novels of brilliance. My quiet nature could rival that of Holmes when he withdraws into his depths, but my wonderment toward metropolitan cities such as London and Paris parallels Nick Carraway's as he plunges into the world of The Great Gatsby.

Despite the controversy, I must agree that it had quite effectively brought to our attention the issue of child soldiers around the globe.…

Youth Week Event: Global Peace Cafe

It’s a bird! It’s a plane! It’s a superhero! At the mention of the word “hero,” many would visualize vibrantly coloured capes flapping in the wind while an epic theme song crescendos in the background. Is a hero one who changes into fancy spandex outfits in cramped telephone booths and defeats Evil with superpowers? There…

Calgary restaurant review: Alloy
