Monday, May 13, 2013. Vol 2, Col 9: “Exper-tease”. I swear, everyone thinks they’re a bloody expert. Well, let me let you in on something folks – just ‘cause you read a single Wikipedia. Entry, watch a documentary, or peruse a National Geographic. Article on a given subject does NOT entitle you to a valid opinion. No, the issue I seem to keep encountering pertains to the breeding of ignorance and misinformation. 2) this so-called “expert”. While medical doctors do receive some. Health and lifestyle train...

Wednesday, July 15, 2015. Vol #2, Col #13: Now That’s Entertainment! James Dean: Icon. Legend. Tragic. Those were the three main adjectives that came to my mind to describe the “Rebel Without a Cause”, before I had the opportunity to watch his self-titled biopic starring James Franco. After being privy to the film however, it seems my list needs to be amended to also include the term “lucky”. Finally, and most importantly. 8230;When offered the opportunity to audition for a key role in the play, “T...

Call Me Old-Fashioned BUT...: Vol #2, Col #10: Breaking Up is Hard to Do…Especially When You Live in a “Wired World”

Monday, May 27, 2013. Vol #2, Col #10: Breaking Up is Hard to Do…Especially When You Live in a “Wired World”. I don’t know about you, but I’m definitely one who ops for a “clean break,” whenever possible. Let’s face it folks, we can’t be friends with everyone and if someone no longer wishes to have us in their lives, we should respect that. In other words, you are who you hang with. So what does all of this have to do with being “old-fashioned? Essentially what I’m trying to say is that nowadays ev...

Monday, January 31, 2011. Vol #2, Col #2: Its My Body and I'll Eat What I Want to! The human species has long had a nasty habit of condemning the things it does not understand. Any sign of difference or non-conformity seems to lead to the eruption of shit storms largely fuelled by personal attacks, as opposed to factual evidence. And so, it was my public display of pride in relation to my choice to lead a vegan lifestyle that resulted in the wielding of insults in my general direction. Well, seeing as th...

Monday, May 18, 2015. Vol #2, Col #11: Flying Solo. I never thought that acquiring something that belonged to me in the first place would be so difficult or that further, I would somehow be made to feel at fault for wanting it back. That was until I flew with Delta. That was until the beginning of December. Something for which no excuse, in my books, is justified. Allow me to explain:. Because there are no direct flights from NYC to the. My flight itinerary had me first flying to. At this point, I made i...

Thursday, August 25, 2011. Vol #2, Col #6: Let's Make a Date. There’s a difference in the eyes of men between a “bangable chick” and a “marriageable woman”. The reason I can be so certain of this is because the vast majority of my friends (I moonlight as a professional musician) are of the masculine gender (not to mention I have six older brothers) making me privy to conversations from which the average female is excluded. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve dated more than my fair share of losers. While the busine...

Call Me Old-Fashioned BUT...: Vol #2, Col #8: Gimme Some "Credit"
http://callmeold-fashionedbut.blogspot.com/2013/04/vol-2-col-8-gimme-some-credit.html
Monday, April 29, 2013. Vol #2, Col #8: Gimme Some "Credit". I once knew a musician who upon receiving his O.S.A.P. cheque in the mail ventured off to his local music store and blew the whole thing on a Pearl. Drumkit. As for school? Well I guess you could say he equally blew that as well. Now, it goes without saying that musicians typically aren’t the most savvy when it comes to managing their finances (a quick review of MC Hammer. Realistically-speaking though, a few K is really nothing. Automatic cred...

Monday, August 20, 2012. Vol #2, Col #7: Service with a Smile. And in said scenario, a gratuity didn’t have to be built right into the purchase for fear that it wouldn’t naturally be merited by the courteous staff. Any visit to a big box store will quickly prove that the so-called “customer service” agents are as ignorant as the general public when it comes to where anything is. While ringing through one’s purchases. To add insult to injury, if service is even provided. Rather than a wholehearted smile.

Sunday, August 16, 2015. Vol #2, Col #14: How about a Little Substance Between all that “Fluff”? I recently found myself quite bored at my day job. Almost always there’s something for me to do to chip away at the old 9-5 (either work-related or personal). But this past Sunday, with no new client inquiries and prime touring season yet to take hold, I found myself in a situation that proves rare in my life: I had TOO MUCH free time! Ironically, ads that I once upon a time looked forward to taking in (ie: t...
