Celebrations & Holidays > Wedding Planning Finger-food ideas for a wedding reception: 2 of 13
A wedding is generally a classy experience and the food at the reception should be too. Finger food is easy but often has negative connotations.

Rock Star Dreams Up on stage and under the lights, Playing my music makes me feel right. Drums in the background, a guitar in my hand, Lead singer in a rock n' roll band. My own lyrics flowing from my lips, A pink Fender sitting right on my hips. But there's no guitar in my hand, And I'm not in front of a rock n' roll band. ... More..

Self Control I know you're hurting But what can I do? Heart-aches happen And I've been there too. It pains meWhen I see you cry, I want to be there But I don't want to pry. I know girls are bitches And I know love is tough, I know life can suck But it's not always rough. I want to hurt them So they can feel pain, I want to h... More..

Shades of Grey I wish it were easy to let you go, Just leave my mistakes and take what I know But you won't let me, you won't let me grow, And I'm not the type to let feelings show. So every time I get halfway, I turn around and decide to stay. The same arguments, you get your way, We'll always be just shades of grey. More..

Humiliation The past. It haunts me. Every day a prisoner in my own mind. The memories are immortal; I put the blame on people like you. So unnecessary, yet you laugh at my pain. Can't see passed what was back then. The present. What can I do to prove my worth? So many years have gone by, but time doesn't heal the pain, or ch... More..
Creative Writing > Reflections Reflections: My first ice hockey game: 1 of 3
I never liked hockey. I couldn't comprehend what the fascination was, a bunch of people skating around chasing a puck. That was of course prior to attending my first game. It was 6 years ago, a friend of mine played hockey and had a game on the weekend. He had finally convinced me to go and cheer him on. I figured it was wor... More..
Society & Lifestyle > Racism Race and my community: 5 of 13
In large cities such as Calgary, crime is an unfortunate reality that we are forced to deal with on a regular basis. Stabbings, arsonthey are crimes that provoke fear in me as they occur more often. But what terrifies me even more is when I hear people putting the blame not on the individuals who commit those crimes, but on ... More..

Hurt Hurt shouldn't be an expectation, But an unfortunate possible outcome. I shouldn't feel destined for pain, But hopeful for a brighter tomorrow. More..

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Blessed: 44 of 63
My Boys Always accepting of the true me, The only ones who let me be. Light criticism and heavy care, Form a shield that's always there. A safety net that keeps away, The scum that always seems to stray. They nourish my flaws, And are great for my cause. Peering with nonjudgmental eyes, All of the reasons I love my guys. More..
