Over you
I could fill an ocean with the tears that I’ve cried.
Over you.
I guess you could say it’s been hard and it’ll take some time to get.
Over you.
Every single time I go outside I keep my eyes wide to find someone.
Over you.
All these men pass by and I realize with a sigh, they got nothing.
Over you.
So what am I to do? Just get under anyone to get.
Over you?

Divergent Dances for Windows and Walls at the Bata...
Tonight I had the pleasure of being invited out to the Bata Shoe Museum for the opening night of the newest Anandam Dance Theatre installation.
They created a living and interactive installation entitled Divergent Dances for Windows and Walls.
The experience began on the outside of the museum; from our vantage point on the north side of Bloor we could see four aerial dancers climb and uncoil...

Brooklyn in the House! - Santigold @ The Koolhaus...
Brooklyn went hard last night in Toronto at the Koolhaus. Santigold brought her new album Master of my Make Believe to an amped crowd that just wanted to dance. I know it’s only May, but this is the album I’ll be listening to all summer long.
~Santi opened with Go! ft. Karen O, such a powerhouse song…we started far from the stage…but can’t help but getting as...

Confessions of a 25 year old...on her last day.
Tomorrow I turn 26.
Is that old? I used to think so, but now I don’t.
Last year I posted some confessions of a 24 year old, so I’d like to look back on those and see how things have changed in the last year for me. It’s kinda funny cuz last year I had mad anxiety about getting older and hitting that milestone of 25…I was dreaming about losing my teeth and stuff…it...

Just got home from a wedding...
And I’m standing in my room…thirsty. I look down and I see a mason jar that I had been using for water before I left for the two day wedding bonanza. I pick up the cup and take a swig… and then I taste that taste that you taste when you taste water that has been sitting for two days in your bedroom. And I think to myself as I taste that taste of water, “What makes the water...

Who run the world? (Beyonce and Lady Gaga)
Well at least in the music video world. The two newest videos from two of my most favourite pop culture icons/influences both run in the same vein. They are very similar, and not just due to the amazing dance sequences and powerhouse vocals that come to define both these ladies. At first I loved the decadence and opulence in Lady Gaga’s video for “Judas”. I loved the India...

I Love Lady Gaga!
Many of you may know that I truly Love Lady Gaga. And watching her interview at Google yesterday made me love her even more. Check out the great video below.
From the first time I saw her up close and personal outside Fubar Nightclub in Waterloo and exclaimed to her “I follow you on Twitter”, I knew that she would be a part of my life for many many many years. I’m super...

Is your skin just the worst right now?
Hey Friends, When I arrived back in Ontario after 3 months in Europe my skin, I am shamed to say, was a mess. Berlin was our last stop and it was hot and dusty there, sweat mixed with hot post-soviet-ruled dust just couldn’t help but get all up in and occupy my pores…get it occupy….like Russia did. Anywho, when I arrived back in my beautiful but humid as fuck city my skin got...

EuroTrip 2010: Supa Deutschland, Supa...
Hello friends, This is my last post from the road as I am currently on a plane 30000ft in the air returning to my beloved Canada. After 2 and a half months of travel I am ready to be back home, especially since the last two weeks were just about the wildest party weeks of the whole trip. This had much to do with World Cup Fever and the fact that I was staying with my girl Steffi from Uni, and her...

EuroTrip 2010: Italy. Let's get ruined! (7)
Hello Friends, I am now in Greece sitting on the balcony outside my hostel room listening to the night time sounds of Athens. In the sketchy area that I am in (near Omonia station) the sounds include yelling, bottles smashing, the faint call of a prostitute and the soft whir of sirens in the distance. I have had a great time in Athens so far, and am off to the Volcanic Island of Santorini...

EuroTrip 2010: Paris or Bus(t) (2)
I am writing this to you from my dear friend KTO’s cute and quaint apartment in Paris. We finally made it, although we were held up on our bus at the UK/France border because they took one guy off the bus to talk to him, and never let him back on…sucks to be that guy. After recovering from Queen’s day Melody and I finished off Amsterdam with an amazing 8 hour and 72km bike ride...

The Competition brings together diverse indie bands to cool venues and leaves the winner to be picked by the votes of fans! I had never been to the El Mocambo before, rather the “Elmo”, as...
