The world needs leaders, in whatever area of expertise individuals choose to pursue. Attending two Canadian Red Cross workshops, intending to train internal Red Cross volunteers to become facilitators, plunged me into becoming more engaged in world affairs.

DetailsHolodomor Awareness Week November 22-28 This weekend, I’m going to be remembering. Remembering millions who died of starvation. I was raised in the Ukrainian-Canadian Community, and I’ve always known of the Ukrainian genocide by famine of 1932-33, but as I grew older, I was saddened to see how few people also knew of it. It…
DetailsBeing one of my passions in life, I think music is an important factor in the lives of men. As a listener of an extremely wide range of music, I am sometimes distressed to see that many people don’t explore music outside of their comfort zone. I listen to a lot of jazz, rock, electronic…
Detailsï»żI recently got the opportunity to watch A Nightmare on Elm Street. I wanted to see the new one, but I ended up watching one from 1996. A cool fact about this movie is that it introduced Johnny Depp into the acting world. I thought this movie was very good. It is about a man…

DetailsUsually, I would only review books written by award-winning authors, but I had to make an exception this time. âGot Fight?â is written by Forrest Griffin, one of the most loved and well-known MMA fighters out there. Watching his interviews, one can easily tell that the guy is hilarious, so I was quite excited when…
DetailsSpoiler alert: This review will give significant plot developments away. As the film starts, you will be able to sense strong themes of blackness and death. But just as I was immersed in a fierce fight with all of Harry’s friends disguised as him (through Polyjuice potion), the movie suddenly changed to finding the horcruxes.…

DetailsA turtle, a Jack-O-Lantern, a piano, a balloon, and a dragon? When did these things ever come together in the same category?!

Empty Bowls is a project that calls…
DetailsWho knew such a thing would cause so much commotion?? I was on Twitter the other day, reading this awesome YouTuber, Meekakitty’s tweets, and one caught my eye: “WHY AREN’T THE BEATLES ON ITUNES?!” So I decided to investigate this.
