I am not one of those people who lives life with no regrets. I am honest. I have regrets. There are things I wish I would have done or not done. It’s not something that controls me or gets me down, but they are there. There is one regret that I would like to share with you today. As some of you may or may not know, I am/have been an extremely picky eater. In the past years I have gotten better, especially since I married that wife of mine :laugh_tb:.

Welcome China & Other Web Stuff
It turns out that I am not blocked by China’s firewall. China, as always, welcome to rockstarpoet.ca.
Update: China has now blocked me. Thanks for nothing, China. :flush_tb:
Virtuous Among Us
I haven’t posted any music in a couple of days so I thought I would. However, I came up against a wall—what song? Nothing has inspired me lately, thankfully I have an iPod Shuffle that always saves the day. If you watched the video I made last night and you were very attentive you might have caught a slight snide comment about spoken word. It’s not that I hate spoken word and honestly when its done well, it’s amazing. However, I maintain, that music can cover a variety of literary sins and if many of the spoken word poems could not stand alone on the page. So it is always refreshing to me when I find a musician with some solid and interesting lyrics—Franz Ferdidand – The Fallen (you will find the lyrics below & a treat):

Basically Published
Now this is probably one of the more exciting things that has happened to me in a while. It’s not quite as exciting as if I was about to be published, however, it is basically the coolest thing since Brenda dancing with snowshoes on. Frankly, it’s only a matter of time before my name is on marquee’s everywhere.
Does Saskatchewan Love Me Like Nova Scotia Would?
I have to say that I am enjoying Calgary. Next month, I will have already lived here for an entire year. Finally, I am getting involved in the writing community and things are going really well. I have to say, barring minor hiccups, I am pretty happy, even on grumpy days. But, I still miss home. I miss my friends and family. I have met some good people in Calgary but on the other hand, I have no motivation to meet more new people—why should I when I have great friends back home, right? Well Nova Scotia made a pretty funny video to bring back their people from Calgary. Maybe I also suffer from Delusional Calgaria.
