Approaching the tip of Cape Bonavista, Newfoundland & Labrador. If you guys ever get the chance, try using a Newfoundland rock as a stand for your camera. The damn things will simply refuse to cooperate, and would probably rather be thrown off the cliff and into the Atlantic than grant you the pleasure of getting [...]

Summary: Ladies and gentlemen, Mr James Hillier Blount – also known as James Blunt to his fans and just plain blunt to the rest of us. ARGH, screw it. You know what – I think I’ve just got to hand it to James Blunt, for the man has just about proven himself to be one [...]
Island of Newfoundland. The town of Bonavista. If someone had told me at the beginning of 2001 that, at the end of the decade, I would find myself in a fishing village (pop. 3,700 people) on the easternmost island of North America, with only a 10-speed bicycle for company, I probably would have told him [...]
Summary: Let’s do pugilism. There’s really no other sport like professional boxing, is there? I mean, what other sport makes seriously injuring the other athlete the ultimate goal? In an age where civility is lauded and tolerance is promoted, boxing (and other forms of professional fighting, for that matter) seems like a true anachronism. But [...]
I’ve got quite a bit of personal blogging to catch up with it seems. So, in line with doing just that, I decided to do the most back-logged post first – which would be Roger Waters’ The Wall Live. Tomorrow I’ll hopefully publish stuff on either of BP Champs 2010 or my trip to see [...]
Summary: A girl worth fighting for. Revisiting a Walt Disney movie from one’s childhood is always an incredibly amazing experience, mainly as the number of things that one misses at an early age is truly bewildering and often quite pathetic. For example, if the joke didn’t involve a character getting decked clean in the face [...]
Summary: Where the streets have no blame. I’ll preface this review by wishing all prospective buyers the very best of luck in finding a physical copy of this album. The Wide Awake in Europe EP exists solely in vinyl format, and only 5,000 copies were ever produced; in fact, this review was only made possible [...]
Summary: Dear Emma Watson. I did some YouTube surfing (for the first time this week, in fact) just a few days ago. Guess which music video I found? Hint: it’s by English alternative rock/pop punk band One Night Only. Yup it’s that video – the one with you in it (I knew you’d guess!). Now, [...]
Summary: Disturbed – only to be taken in small doses (one tsp per day). In this writer’s opinion, American rock band Disturbed are a bit of an enigma: in their fifteen years together, these four musicians from Chicago have released a total of five studio albums (all of which have been reasonably solid) and managed [...]
They say that the untamed expanses of Newfoundland and Labrador are where you first begin the search for your soul. They say it’s where one first becomes a true traveler of the world. They say it’s the closest you can come to standing at the very edge of the earth. – Now, I have no [...]
