Hope everyone enjoys what HE has to say.She's a 4th year college student, he's in his 4th year of the dreaded "real world".She writes with proper English, he writes whatever pops into his head.Thanks for letting me step in for a minute and tell you what HE has to say.-----------------------------

I'm sorry my post have been lacking in content over the past couple days, but I am in the midst of a couple essays and assignments which have been taking up all of my time (and new, fresh thoughts).I promise once the madness is over, in about a week and a half, I will have some great content for you.Are you feeling neglected by me? If so, write me a comment!One great thing to look forward to on

I am SO mad right now.I pulled myself out of bed to write this (yes, it seems way to early to be going to bed on a Friday night, but I work early).I have discovered the sound of a base being pumped from a neighbours house a couple houses down behind me. They are not having a party, they just like to do this in the warmer months.This person seems to think it is the middle of summer or something,

CBC Newsworld’s three-part documentary The End, featuring The End of Print, The End of Radio, and The End of Television, has left me considering the declining power of the mass media. The documentaries, which originally aired in 2006, effectively tackled the possibility of new trends surpassing the traditional discourses, through raising questions, interviewing sources, and focusing on emerging

Waking up to to nine cases of beer, red plastic cups scattered across the living room, and a floor soaked in beer (obviously beer pong was in full effect), was not what I wanted to wake up to this morning. However, this type of mess is always a sure sign of a great evening.Since March Madness is in full effect, my boyfriend and his roommates threw their annual March Madness party last night. I

I usually just take it and put it in my bag, or house, depending on where I am.Today however, for the first time out of many, I put my foot down and said "no thank-you."I'm talking about religious solicitation.

After much searching, I was unable to find a Duke t-shirt that both fit my style, and fit me. I was also unable to find a company that would ship products to Canada. So I did what every desperate person would do- have a shirt made. Following a little research, I discovered that Advanced Imagewerx in Masonville Mall was able to complete my request at a reasonable price, and in an incredible

Spanning from London to Toronto, Dundas Street has had its fair share of criticism.However, it does have more character than any other street in London.This street, from Richmond Street to Wellington Road, was at one point the hub of the city. Shopping, restaurants and entertainment provided Londoner's with a true downtown experience. Over the years, Dundas Street has deteriorated leaving vacant

I am ashamed to admit it, but I have not been following the Western Mustang's basketball team all season- until tonight that is. In an edge-of-your-seat CIS Semi-Final game, the Mustangs were unable to stop Carleton Ravens guard Stuart Turnbull, hitting a shot from 12 feet with less than 4 seconds remaining in the game. With back and forth baskets between both teams in the last three minutes, and

For anyone who has a blog, I'm sure they can agree with me that coming up with post topics can often be challenging. My life is only so interesting, and as a 23 year-old graduating student in my last few weeks of university, it is not interesting at all (unless school work and a job interest you). Some days are filled with things to write about, while others are lacking in content.Today is one of

As reported in today's London Free Press, tournament organizer Clyde Adkin's decision to cancel was personal, "It's just time. It's too much for me to do every year.

Lately I have had the craving for a BlackBerry. Why? I don't know. Maybe it is because it seems that practically every student at UWO has one. On campus you go NOWHERE without coming across someone thumbing a BlackBerry, talking on one, or talking about the phone itself. It is such a fad right now to be carrying this accessory. I know people who have become addicted to their BlackBerry. It

Yesterday's announcement in the London Free Press of London's A Morning show being cancelled, has left many anchors and employees wondering, what's next? Replacing the morning show with six back-to-back episodes of the previous evening's 11 pm broadcast, will likely not fill the void. There is no question that we are in the midst of a recession, and cutbacks are being made in areas which many

I have been debating whether to become apart of this whole "Twitter" phenomenon. It sounds interesting, but really, what is the need for everyone to know exactly what I am doing all the time?This new Web 2.0 social network, which keeps others informed through status updates, leaves users more connected than ever before.As curious as I am about it, I think I will refrain from it for as long as

My Burberry's have been broken all winter long, and with the sun making more of a daily appearance lately, I decided it was time to get them fixed. I bought my Burberry's in September of first year, and to this day continue to wear them. There is nothing better than finding the perfect frames to suit your face.Sunglasses are not just an eye protector, but are a fashion statement as well. As the

Does anyone else feel especially anxious this time of the year? Motivated by freedom, but brought down by workload? With classes wrapping up in a mere 38 days, and my fourth year slowly comes to a close, I am finding myself to be unmotivated in my studies.Maybe it is the fact that after four years, I am finally going to be able to read texts that do not have anything to do with school, and not

Over the break I decided to try yoga for the first time. I have always been nervous to try it, fearful of awkwardly not being able to hold the poses, and ultimately being noticed as a beginner. Moksha Yoga London is an intriguing place I have wanted to experience for a long time. As a Londoner, I have seen it become one of the most popular yoga businesses in the area (much credit to UWO students

What better way to have spent Valentine's Day, then watching the NBA All-Star Slam Dunk Contest?

After the photograph of Michael Phelps smoking marijuana from a bong at a South Carolina college party surfaced, I thought I would do a little research into other unsuspecting, famous individuals who have also been caught for drug possession.

Today was once again spent low key, with those closest to me. My boyfriend made me an amazing breakfast, my mom made me an amazing cake, and I overall had an amazing day.

Let the birthday festivities begin! This year I decided that I was going to keep the festivities to a minimum and low key. I have done the bar parties for the past four years, and it begins to grow tiresome. So this year I thought I would switch it up with dinner and a little laughter with friends.Wonder Sushi was the host of dinner, and if there are any of you in the London area who have a love

As a newcomer to the blogosphere, I still can not help but be amazed by the amount of blogs on the internet. I come across blogs and realize what they are now, where in the past I did not understand. Like anyone who is unfamiliar with something, fear of the unknown discouraged me from not only attempting to create a blog, but even reading them. I did not understand what the point of a blog was,

I was part of a rather rousing conversation today.  A couple guys I know, who have been playing competitive basketball since age 15, and who are now 27 years old playing in a men's league, were discussing an opposing team player's choice of clothing for the court: pants.  Now to the average person, this may not seem like a big deal.  However, as a basketball player myself, I have never seen this.
