EPISODE 15: Smartphones.
How did I spend today? Was I basking in the sun’s glory, sipping a frosty beer and speaking to my dear friends about leather bound books written by the oldest men with the longest and whitest beards? Nope. Instead, I sat on my porch with a laptop tied appropriately to my lap gazing at the world passing me by as I read, reflected, and mused about which smartphone made me a better and more interesting person.

EPISODE 14: Placenta.
As I sat in my jeans and a slightly stained but lets be honest stained t shirt, sipping a coffee and checking the various online celebrity rag-mags, I received an alarming message. Contained within this message was by and far the most disgusting sentence I have ever read in my entire life. The sentence was not some grotesque notion nor was it descriptive by any stretch of the imagination. It was simply a command; an order to stare headlong into the abyss of something so mature and so traumatic that it made my cell phone cascade tears through the screen and onto my wrist.

EPISODE 13: Teenage Wasteland.
From time to time, I’ll house and dog sit to pay for my expensive, unemployed lifestyle. Yesterday’s house in question was in Rosedale, so I had the grand opportunity to bathe myself in the fine wine and pill addiction smells of the other world. My company, a young Labrador sharing the same cynical attitude towards life as I do, was ready for her stroll around the block – so off we went.

EPISODE 12: Auditioning for a Break.
Today I will have to sing for my supper, and by sing I mean put on a shirt and tie, stand in front of a camera, give my name, smile, and get down on my knees to pray that the gods of Human Resources will allow the phrase “hire that man” to escape their lips. Getting this gig would mean I’d earn an honest week’s pay for an honest day’s work – therefore quieting the screams of talent-doubt that erupt from my soul on a near hourly basis. Oh, and help pay rent. Today, I will audition for a job.
