Coldplay – Mylo Xyloto: An Album Review
The much anticipated Mylo Xyloto album from Coldplay arrived on Oct 24, 2011. As a lifelong fan of Coldplay, it’s without a doubt that I’ve listened to the album on repeat for the past while, definitely long enough to be opinionated about it. I could just say I love it and call it a day,…

A Day of Silence
I lived in Angola, Africa for four years. I know first-hand that there are so many issues in the world that many of us in North America could not even imagine. Children should have choices, freedom and the ability to choose their own life path. Every bit can make a difference. Western Canada High School’s…
DetailsPhoto of the Day: It’s a whole lot of Marios
No it’s not some publicity stunt, or a bunch of fans trying to find Princess Peach. This is Nintendo’s way of getting the hype out for their first Mario 3DS title release, Super Mario 3D land.

Being a blogger, I often enjoy reading what other creative writers/illustrators put on the internet for the world to see. One of my favourite blogs is called ‘Hyperbole and a Half’. The blogger (Allie) writes about supposedly mundane occurrences in her life that she makes into hilarious cartoons. The awful stick figure pictures accompanied by…

A poppy to remember
What does it mean to wear a poppy if you have never seen a battlefield or lost someone to war? As Remembrance Day fast approaches us, I have begun sporting the famed red flower and reflecting upon this commemoration.

DetailsWebsite of the Day: The Quiet Place
Sometimes, there are so many things running through our heads. Sometimes we want to get away from it all and focus on ourselves. We tend to forget the importance of achieving a balance in life.

Would we have an airplane, If Orville and Wilbur Wright, Would rather stand in the rain, And believe in no term called flight. Would we have a kinder way, To readdress wrongs without Ghandi? Would…
