Confessions of a 30-Something Guy Who Looks 20-Something at Most
Less than a week from now is my 35th birthday (though most people don’t see it at first if they either didn’t know beforehand or aren’t told until after our first meeting), and the closest I’ve had to a relationship is a brief, hypothetical long distance QPP.

Learning to Ride a Bike: From Grazes to Glee
Like many of you, no doubt, my inauguration into the world of cycling as a child was a painful one. My friend David was a year younger than me, but already he was tearing around the streets on a small bike with chunky pneumatic tyres. I’d had several attempts at riding on two wheels, but I just didn’t get it.

My Worst Childhood (in Lifeline Center) Ever…
When I was younger, I was breached and had a club foot. I wouldn’t talk until I was three or four. During my childhood, I experienced inappropriate but pornographic movies. Then I kept talking a lot about everything else that I would see in my daily lives.

Toothpaste
A moment to yourself. Nothing to think about but your daily routine. Brush teeth, shower, and things seem to be normal as they should. At a moment's strike, you find it in the mirror. Tears roll down your face. You find it hard to breathe as you brush your teeth. you continue to brush until the tears become overwhelming. The saliva forces you to swallow some toothpaste and you can't help but weep. You begin choking on the toothpaste and you stop so you’re not found on the floor.

What I didn't miss with COVID lockdowns
There have been some good things and some bad things that have come out of the COVID-19 pandemic. For instance, the ability to work remotely has been embraced by many employers. Even for someone like me, who doesn’t mind being in an office environment, I can still have one day a week working from home rather than having to battle the commute into the city.

Whither Toronto?
Why do I hate that city so much? I know that I am not alone with this. Many of my fellow Canadians have very strong opinions about T.O., Hogtown, the Economic Heart of Canada…and That Place. But there is no hate like the hate that grows and festers like the one from someone who lives in close proximity to that town.

7 Tips That'll Help You Get Better Sleep Tonight
5 Simple Steps to Take Tonight to Get Better Sleep There are a few easy things you can do to get better sleep tonight. First, try to avoid caffeine in the afternoon and evening. Caffeine can stay in your system for several hours and make it harder to fall asleep. Second, establish a regular bedtime routine including winding down for 30 minutes before sleep. This means no electronics screens! Third, create a comfortable sleep environment by making sure your bedroom is dark, quiet, and cool. fourth, avoid alcohol before bed. Although it may help you fall asleep initially, alcohol disrupts sleep later in the night. Finally, get up and move around every few hours during the day to keep your body active and improve your sleep at night.
