Toronto Ontario – Two of the greatest things about Toronto are its nightlife and its people. Rain or shine, weekend or weekday- there is always something to do or somewhere to go. Last Friday night I went out with my friends V and Rhi to a bar called Sneaky Dee’s for emo night, which is every […]
Toronto Ontario – On June 11 at the Ontario Centre on the Budweiser stage, Thrice, Deaftones and Rise Against joined thousands of screaming fans, as they performed their set lists.

Mr. Wentzell also became friends with many […]
I love that image that an area photog did of moi. He meant it badly, mostly because he’s kinda young and probably never understood or watched Citizen Kane. He’s an example of a young person in Cornwall, with some talent, who sold his soul to get the love from a ever shrinking clique. […]

CFN– Why would anyone working in the public shoot nudie photos and complain if they get leaked in 2014? Yes, it’s an invasion of privacy and yes it can be brutal in some ways; but it also is a sport for hackers who the harder it is to gain access, the bigger the rush and […]
CORNWALL Ontario – I was at the Port theatre last night. It’s an original Roxy theatre that has struggled mightily to survive as it approaches its 75th anniversary.
