A country of the modern world attains a certain amount of wealth from the taxation of its citizens or trade. These taxes are taken from the citizen’s hard-earned income and given to the power of the government, normally to reinvest into the country in terms of public services, military, or anything the government deems worthy […]
A poem for Icarus
Oh Icarus, how tragic your tale. The wings of stubbornness carried you towards the burning sun of false desires. Took you up above the clouds, where those that cared could not reach you to bring you back to solid ground. For they knew the dangers of passion long gone. How it poisons and melts even […]
chromebooks: The horrible, the bad, and the ugly
Disclaimer: Due to my sheer passionate rage for chromebooks, I say a couple of no-no words. I apologize. I really hate chromebooks. Like really, passionately hate chomebooks. Now you may be asking, “Why does this man hate chromebooks so much? It’s just a nice little budget laptop that we get to use at schools.” Well, […]

Drive.
The accident. The car cradled you for the diminishing moments you drove. You drove down the roads finding comfort in your own mindless actions. Signal, shoulder check, accelerate, turn, cancel signal, drive. You drove on and on, letting the rain drip from your windshields like tears on a mother’s cheek. You felt the tame breeze […]
An ode to Fallout
Oh, Bethesda. How could such a horrible company produce something so pure? Such a buggy, glitchy, unfinished mess. However, like a mother looking at the gremlin that is her child I cannot help but smile whenever I boot up this game. I long to roam the wasteland of nuclear warfare, to explore newer areas in […]
40 Dollars (FC)
40 Canadian dollars. I stared at this price in pure anguish and misery. The game was received terribly by critics, widely hated by the community, and was an overall disappointment to its awaiting fans. All the value it held was in one game mode that was extremely short-lived and repetitive once you beat it the […]
Bird watching
But where art thou, you lovely bird? Shining blue and bright? Or worn and condemned to the dirt of the earth? I long to hear my bluebird sing and remind me of who I really am. To wake me from this cosmic dream to the beams of mourning light. Did my friend cross the breeze? […]
Man Vs Nature (Memoir)
Twas just another peaceful day of creative writing. Our class had successfully trekked to the river for some writing I never intended to do. It was a beautiful day, the sky was pure blue with occasional gashes of white clouds piercing the veil of the blue like tears in a teddy bear. The weather was […]
