Movies are my favourite past-time. I watch them like some guys do sporting events and I get equally worked up. I like a great idea that’s been written well, directed well, acted well and shot well. I have my own laundry list of actors and directors that I follow as well. The only aspect of [...]

[IF]
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you
But make allowance for their doubting too,
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give [...]

My roommate, Dawn, is learning to play my electric guitar. She’s sitting on my futon, going through a Beatles playbook and teaching herself chords. I figure that when she gets it all down pat then she’ll be able to teach me. I got the guitar as Christmas present from my father. Lovely idea. I was [...]

Okay, I can admit it, I’m always amazed by sleight of hand tricks. I’m like a child really. Show me a trick and even if (on the off chance) I know how how it’s done, I’m still amazed. Sleight of hand tricks are a genuine talent. Unfortunately, my butterfinger hands have no aptitude for them. [...]

If you think about it, consciousness is nothing but a virtual reality representation of what we understand to exist in relation to how we understand ourselves to exist. The virtual reality of the on-line world is merely a fine tuned extension of this. Does it take us further from the true nature of existence? Or [...]

 Toxel.com has a nice little collection of “Sushi Art” and I just couldnt resist posting it. I’m not a great fan of Sushi, but if it always came like this, Its all I’d eat!

Shortly after my divorce back in 2006, I took a roadtrip with my sister and her boyfriend down to Guadalajara, Mexico. It seemed like the thing to do. With only a week’s notice I quit my job and packed up a few things. Next thing I knew we were driving and camping our way across [...]

A local filmmaker put this together. It’s a highly enjoyable short. Hope you enjoy it.

Okay, I can admit it. The blog about Team Gopher the other day made me a wee bit nostalgic. Scotland, I don’t know why I love ya so much, baby, but I do. In my heart, I’ve never left ya. You know I’ll always love ya.
Shit. I feel like Evita.
 Anywho. I was perusing this wonderful [...]

Working in Manhattan and hopping the subway home, I pass thousands of faces every day. And from below the brim of my hat I watch these faces go by. Sometimes we exchange smiles, sometimes there’s a nod, sometimes no one notices my passing at all. Calmly, I sip my coffee and carry on. Yet certain [...]

Hey! I want to apologise for my recent absence here. Life got the better of me this past week. You have not been forgotten, however. During the interim a number of fascinating things have come to light and I’m not talking about the dozens of socks I’ve ‘rediscovered’ at the bottom of my laundry hamper. [...]

‘Random Thought Blog,’ by C.F. Lapinel

As a child I used to love to draw and colour. As an adult I have replaced this obsession with sex. Sex, after all, is the most fun you can have with or without Crayolas. In all the years I’ve dated and I’ve had one girlfriend who was into the [...]

Without this man, we would never have The Onion or The Daily Show. Yet even these cultural istitutions are but pale reflections of Huster S. Thompson’s sawed-off shotgun ethics and reporting style, which were somehow very nearly the same thing. The reason that Thompson’s reporting was superior to the types of gonzo journalism we are seeing [...]

Little did I know that I would one day feel compelled to write about this show…
‘I love being with Matt,’ she said. She sounded so earnest. My mouth dropped open slightly. It was hard to believe that someone would do this in front of a camera. Still, people have done worse. I’m just sensitive, I [...]
