Riding the TTC can be fun at times. When? :-) Well, it’s always interesting to observe people and see what they are looking at.
Monday Morning Inspiration
Good morning everyone! After an exceptionally humid weekend, I am looking forward to a cool breeze. I know, I know…when the cold weather arrives, I will probably want it to be warm again. Spring and Autumn are my favourite seasons, so I enjoy a certain temperature that is not extreme, hot [...]
Welcome to the new cold war
If you are interested in world politics, then this video is a must see. It’s called “Welcome to the new cold war” and the commentator, Pepe Escobar, talks about the current Russia - Georgia ‘crisis’ and how the United States factors into it. The US strategy equals to “Full Spectrum Dominance.”

Why do we obsess over fair skin? - Part II
Continuing the discussion on ‘why do we obsess over fair skin,’ I would like to elaborate a bit on our association of certain colours with personality characteristics.
